I want it so much. Ineedit.
Maude is so close, I catch the darkness of her perfume. Nothing like the flowers and forest of Karia.
She is so close, I could reach out and touch her.
I almost want to, if only to get Karia to react.
But Karia is still staring at me.
“I think you need to stay out of his life. Once we are done helping here, whatever connection you have to his history, it should not be part of his future?—”
I move so fast I do not have time to think it through. My fingers are around Maude’s throat, and I am staring into her dilated eyes. She is startled, a breath caught in her lungs, and I feel Cosmo and Karia intent on me. Focused.
But no one stops me. I lift Maude nearly off her feet, and her hands come to my arms, outside my hoodie, curled around my muscles, but completely ineffective in fighting me off.
“Don’t speak about her again.” I barely recognize my own voice.
Maude narrows her eyes but she goes still.
Her voice is hoarse but she manages to say, “She’s slept with Cosmo. She probably was again now. You are in danger because of her and?—”
I don’t hear the rest of what she says. Karia shoves me to the side and I release Maude, moving for my girl.
Karia is toe-to-toe with Maude, glaring up at her, vibrating with rage. “There is only one person in this house I am sleeping with,” she snarls, her tone dangerous. “And it is not Cosmo. Take a fucking guess whose dick is mine.” She gestures to me, at her back, and I watch Maude go impossibly paler.
Karia drops her hand and steps closer, forcing Maude to retreat once.
“Don’t touch him again. Don’t taunt him. Don’t breathe near him. Don’t speak to him. He ismine.If you don’t get it, you will when I bury you alive in the backyard, bitch.”
Maude looks as if she might faint. Her eyebrows are halfway up her head. Yet somehow she still finds words to hit back, and I would have advised her not to, but it is too late as she says, “But you are the reason he is in danger, are you not? Cosmo, too. You are nothing but trouble and?—”
Karia raises her fist to hit the woman, and I wrap my arms around Karia’s chest and whisk her off her feet just before she can strike. She is fighting in my arms,writhing,scrambling out to reach any inch of Maude she can touch.
“Fuck you, bitch,” she snarls, and I feel the rage in her beautiful body. But I tear her away, exiting the sitting room, heading to the stairs, the ones that will lead us up to the bedroom we’ve slept in together, and apart.
And my cock is fucking aching against Karia’s spine.
Chapter 34
Karia
He throws me on the bed, then slams and locks the door shut.
I flip to my back, kicking off my shoes, my socks, crossing my arms and removing my shirt, then shoving down my pants, my underwear.
And I spread my legs, lift my chin, resting on my elbows as I am entirely exposed to him.
His gaze drops to my pussy.
I am panting.
My nipples are peaked.
And Ineedhim.
He choked Maude for me. He did not let her speak poorly of me. And who knows if we will survive much longer.
I will have him, however he wants me. However he lets me.
