"Derek, there was a shooting, it looks like it was Carl. Joshua got hit but is okay. I'm okay. Don't worry," Maya supplies.
"Fucking asshole, I wish you had let me take care of that bastard the last time he hurt you. I'll kill him this time, Maya. Did you know he’s a suspect in Yancy's murder?"
"I'm on this one too, Derek. You and me, we can break a few of his bones," I vow.
"Did you call Dad yet, Maya? He'll worry," he asks her.
"No, I will soon."
"Okay, Big Guy, keep her safe, the team just got here. I'll forward pictures shortly. Call Dad, now, Maya, before he findsout and gets upset." He hangs up and her shoulders drop. I look at Joshua and nod, he nods back, and I lead her from the room.
We've barely cleared Joshua's door when I pick her up into my arms, cradling her to my heart, and carry her all the way to my flat. When we enter my hall, I turn her to straddle my hips. I pull her gun from the holster at her back. She reaches between us and releases the Velcro holding the band the holster is tucked into. Interesting. I then pull my shirt that hangs like a dress on her small body over her head, then pull the knife from between her breasts. I suck a nipple through her bra and hear her gasp.
I carry her into the bedroom and lay her out on the bed. After stripping out of my clothes, I grab her yoga pants and thong in my hands and pull them both down, baring her to me. I pull her hips to the edge of the bed and kneel down, licking her sex in a long sweep. I zero in on her clit and circle it with my tongue as I push a finger into her. She moans and writhes on the bed, begging me to take her. I need to show her how much I cherish her. How much she means to me. My finger curls to hit her G-spot while I suck her clit hard into my mouth. She comes on a cry of pleasure, yelling my name. I lap at her until she calms, and then I kiss her thighs. Standing and lifting her hips off the bed, I pull her to me, and impale her in one long thrust. Her inner muscles clench around my thick cock.
"Maya, baby, you're mine and I'll never have enough of you."
"Oh God, yes, Duncan."
I continue to hold her up as I thrust into her. She comes again and my balls pull up, wanting to release. I need to draw this out. I pull out of her, lift her off the bed, and lie down with her above me. She sinks onto my cock and I watch as she slowlyfucks me. I reach up to unhook her bra and throw it across the room.
She leans back, placing her hands on my legs behind her. The new angle has me hitting her in a new spot and I watch as she starts to lose herself in another orgasm. I grab her waist and roll us over so she's under me now. Pulling one of her legs up and resting the ankle on my shoulder, I push into her harder, and lose myself in the ecstasy of her body.
This time when my balls tighten, I drive even harder into her. She screams my name and I come with a loud roar. I will not lose her.
I want to tell her how I feel but know she'll push me away. I also won't let her think this was her fault.
We fall asleep in each other's arms, tangled together, forgetting to call Greg.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
DUNCAN
The next day we exchange our gifts. I hand her a small package, and explain as she opens it, "When you told me the story about your mum getting you the angels, I couldn't help myself. Is it okay?"
"I love it. Thank you, Duncan."
I got her a delicate blown glass angel ornament when she was getting her hair done yesterday. I also got her a heavy-duty body armor vest to protect her. She got me a leather bomber jacket and 25-year-old scotch.
The telephone rings as I'm just about to lean forward to kiss her and find the next surface to take her on. I jump up and answer it as I smile at her.
"Hello."
"Mr. Preston, there was a gentleman here who bypassed me.I tried to detain him, but he hit me. He should be coming to your door now," the guard from the security desk reports.
Just then, there's a banging on my door. I walk to the door, grabbing my gun from the hiding spot under the entry table. I turn to see Maya has her gun and is right behind me. I try to push her back as a voice comes through the door.
"You'd better let me the fuck in there. Maya, I'll shoot the locks and come in for you." I turn to see she has a look of complete shock on her face.
"Who's that, Maya?" I ask her.
"It's Greg. We forgot to call him last night," she says sheepishly. I turn to look into the display and see he's getting his gun out to do as he said. I push the intercom button.
"Just a moment, Greg, I'll let you in." I walk back to the entry table and hide my gun again, then unlock the door and let him in. He barely crosses the threshold when he takes a swing at me. I step back, raise my hands up to block, but he drops and sweeps my legs from under me, sending me to the floor. I hear the elevator doors open and Joshua busts through the door.
"What the bloody hell is going on in here?" Joshua asks as Greg goes to kick me. Maya throws herself between us and deflects it with her shin.
She steps into Greg and wraps her arms around him.
