“Amelia,” he warns, his voice strangled.“I’m going to?—”
Before he can finish, he pulls me off him, hauling me to my feet.In one fluid motion, he lifts me against his chest.My legs wrap around his waist, and my arms wrap around his neck as he balances me with one arm and reaches with his free hand to shut off the water.He steps out of the shower, not bothering with towels, and carries me dripping wet into the bedroom.
He lays me down on the bed, hovering over me, water from his body dripping onto mine.His eyes roam my face, then lower to my breasts.
“These fucking tits,” he murmurs, lowering his head to take one nipple into his mouth.“I fucking love them.”
The scrape of his teeth sends an electric shock through me.I arch beneath him, gasping as he sucks and licks.He moves to the other breast, giving it the same attention while his hand kneads the first.
His mouth continues trailing hot kisses down my sternum, across my ribs, stopping to suck a mark onto my hip bone.My fingers tangle in his wet hair as he moves lower, pushing my thighs apart.
“Maddox,” I breathe, watching as he settles between my legs.
His eyes lock with mine as he presses a kiss to the inside of my thigh, then bites down gently, sucking another mark into my skin.
“Mine,” he growls, moving to the other thigh to leave a matching mark.
Then his fingers are there, spreading me open, sliding through my pussy.He groans at how ready I am for him, pushing one thick, calloused finger inside me, then another.His thumb circles my clit as his fingers curl upward, finding that spot that drives me to the point of insanity.
“Please,” I whimper, my hips rising to meet his hand.
He pumps his fingers in and out, then pulls them out completely, and a whimper escapes the back of my throat.
I’m about to protest when he crawls back up my body, positioning himself between my legs.The blunt head of his cock nudges against my entrance, and then he’s pushing inside, slow and steady, filling me completely.
We both moan when he’s fully seated.He braces himself above me, arms trembling slightly as he begins to move.
“Look at me,” he commands softly.
I open my eyes, meeting his intense gaze.
“That’s it baby, you keep those pretty eyes on me when I fuck you.”
I wrap my legs around him, drawing him deeper.His pace quickens, his thrusts becoming harder.One hand slides between us to rub my clit, and I shatter around him, crying out his name.
He follows moments later, his body tensing as he spills himself inside me, his face buried in my neck, my name on his lips.
Afterward, he gathers me against his chest, both of us still damp, sticky with sweat and each other’s releases.Neither of us move to clean up or get under the covers.
We just lie there, limbs entangled.
His heart beating steadily beneath my ear as his fingers play with my hair.
Two people who found their way back to one another, silently taking care of each other.
ChapterTwenty-Two
Maddox
Iwake before the sun, my mind already racing with all the shit I need to handle today.Amelia’s warm body is curled against mine, her naked skin still flushed from all the fucking we did.Part of me wants to wake her up for another round, but duty calls.
Carefully, I slide out from under her arm, watching as she sighs and rolls into the warm spot I’ve left behind.Fuck, she’s beautiful like this—all soft curves and tousled hair against my sheets.I allow myself exactly five seconds to appreciate the view before I get my ass in gear.
I dress quickly in the dark, pulling on my worn jeans, a fresh shirt, and my boots.
The wooden stairs creak under my weight despite my attempts to move quietly.My mind is already outside, mapping the perimeter checks I need to make.Yesterday was a wash productivity-wise—spent the whole damn day getting Amelia and Dylan settled, making sure they had everything they needed.I played it cool, acted like the steady rock they could lean on, but inside?I’m fucking terrified.
I keep replaying the call I had with Shadow yesterday in my head.If the attack on the bar was really revenge on the Fallen Demons MC, I don’t know what that means for the ranch.Changing the name to Fallen Meadows was supposed to provide protection, but I fear it makes us a target now.
