I regard her for a moment longer as I attempt to will my insides to stop vibrating with the need to consume her. “I’m so fucking proud of you. I hope you see the truth now. Your mother… is wrong. You had themall, myself included, in the palm of your hands.”

She lightly nods followed by a whimper as her hooded eyes plead with me to let her swallow.

“Do you want to swallow my cum, baby?” I already know the answer, but I can’t resist taunting her a little. “But you look so sexy, I kind of want to keep you like this.”

Her whine is more desperate now as she shuffles on her knees, no doubt getting antsy at the situation she’s in.

“Go ahead,” I relent. “Swallow my cum like a good fucking girl. You’ve earned it.”

Arabella

My entire body is buzzing as my arousal slowly fades away. I asked him to distract me because I was tired of crying. Tired of feeling the sadness and anger that coursed through my veins after I left mom’s house. I don’t know if I was more upset withherfor treating me like trash ormyselffor allowing it.

Surprise.In the words of the greatest Taylor to ever grace this earth, ‘It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem, it’s me.”

The last thing I expected was for him to force me to orgasm in front of strangers, but I told him I trusted him and that hasn’t changed. I’ve never felt more adored, cherished, and cared for than I have tonight… with him. I should probably be embarrassed that he came all over my face like a whore, but I love that I caused him to lose control like he did. I’ve never seen him like this. Controlled chaos. Wild and slightly unhinged.

“Up,” he directs as he reaches for my hand to help me stand. “What do you need Bella?”

“Why do you call me Bella?” I need to know.

He leans down to place a light kiss on my forehead. “It means beautiful in many languages. And you’re the most beautiful person I know.” He says it so simply, like it should be obvious.

“Oh.”

“As far as I know, I’m the only one who calls you that, so it represents the part of you that belongs only to me. Bella… is mine.” I don’t have words.

He moves to a cabinet, grabbing something I can’t see, then sits on the bed and pulls me onto his lap. His hand moves to my face and I see the cloth he must have grabbed, just before he gently, carefully wipes the remnants of his release from my skin. The care this man takes to make sure I’m alright is next level and also so foreign to me. I’m used to doing everything for myself, I never thought I’d enjoy another person doing it instead. With him, it only serves to draw me further into his orbit.

Laying my head on his chest, I wrap my arms around his neck and listen to his heart beating rapidly in his chest.

“One day, you’ll see what I do when I look at you.” Tears threaten to sting my eyes at his promise. “And I’ll keep showing you until you believe it. You’re worth so much more than the words she hurts you with.”

“I don’t deserve you,” I whisper into his chest.

“You deserve so much more.” It doesn’t take long before tears are falling from my eyes, despite the calm I feel in my soul from being in his arms. He doesn’t stop them. Instead, he lets them fall until my eyes close and I drift off to sleep.

Ryker

Shortly after she fell asleep in my arms, I crawled out from underneath her soft body and tucked her under the satin covers.She’ll be safe for a bit until I get back. While we were occupied, I received a text from Axel saying he had more information for me on the bouncer that let her into the club.

I don’t bother knocking when I get to his office. It’s not reallyhisoffice, but no one else knows how to do anything with any of the equipment in here, so for all intents and purposes, it is his space.

“I hear you have info for me.”

“Nice to see you too. How’s my sister?” he asks, rolling his eyes. “On second thought… don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.”

“That’s probably for the best.” I can hardly contain the smile that tugs on my lips at the thought of her in the other room. Asleep and naked. Covered in my scent.

“I combed through all the video surveillance from the night you asked me about. I’m assuming this is what you were looking for.” He points to a screen at the center of the dozen that are set up and I see her. Jesus, I’d almost forgotten how drunk she was that night. She was wobbly on her feet and fucking Vince let her through anyway. Doormen have clear instructions to reject entry to the club area of the building foranysign of intoxication, despite how their wrist bands scan and he fucking let her through. She wasn’t fucking subtle.

My blood boils hot like it’s happening all over again and I turn and storm out.

“You’re welcome, dick!” Axel yells from behind me.

Whatever. I have a dumbass to fire, and it just so happens Vince is working tonight.
