"No. Let's go talk." I take her hand and drag her through the crowd back to our bedroom. I would carry her up there, but there's a risk of someone seeing her ass or pussy if I do what the caveman in me aches to do.
"I don't want to talk to you. I just want to forget this ever happened."
"Too fucking late, Aurora. You sold yourself to the devil, and I sure as fuck won't give you up."
My phone buzzes, so I pull it out of my slacks.
"What's up?"
"We have her, and we called the cops. She's safe, but she's not the only girl here. The cops had taken the others to a safe place before we took the little one. We're on our way back. They're lying in wait for McDowell to come home before they arrest him."
"Great. How is she?"
"Safe. Brynlee’s worried about her sister."
"Put her on the phone,” I demand.
"A soft child's voice answers shakily."
"Hey, sweetie, give me a second."
"Kitten, this call's for you."
"Hello. Oh my God! Brynlee, are you okay? Where are you?"
My sweet Kitten looks right at me with a shocked expression that turns into a smile.
She throws her arms around me, mouthing thank you.
I let them talk for another two minutes before taking the phone back. "Your sister will be here soon. They'll sneak her in through the garage away from McDowell. I know you think I’m just like him, but I'm not at all. I was putting up a front. I didn't want him to know that my men were going to snatch up your sister."
"Are you serious? I've been lied to, used, manipulated, and hurt so much I don't know the truth anymore."
"I've never done any of those things to you. You'll see in due time that I'm putty when it comes to you. I'd gladly put a bullet in McDowell's head after I cut off his balls with a dull, rusty knife."
"Graphic, but I get it. Thank you."
"Don't thank me. I'm obsessed with you." She crushes her mouth to mine, kissing me with a hunger unexplainable. Just like that, I have her pinned to the bed, sliding my hand up her dress, caressing her smooth thigh.
Another damn knock on the door sends me over the edge. "What the fuck do you want?"
"Sir, there's a commotion down here. They've arrested McDowell, and he's accusing you of kidnapping Ms. Jones."
"I'm not kidnapped. I'm being cockblocked," Aurora screams out with a giggle. Opening the door is the investigator from the DA's office, along with two officers.
"I told you," Morris informs them.
"I know. Mr. Devlin informed me that Ms. Jones was his fiancé downstairs, but McDowell's claims were shouted out to the crowd as he left. We have to do our due diligence, and you might need to do some damage control with your guests."
"Why did you guys get the fucker in my house?"
"Sorry, it was a major sting operation put on by the mayor."
"We'll be down in a minute. I need a minute to freshen up."
"No, Kitten. Let's go now. We have a special guest coming soon, and I want you two to have some time together before the clock strikes midnight."
She grins so widely that the cops don't have a doubt that she hasn’t been forced at all. But it's tough to smile right now because I've been cockblocked twice tonight.
Chapter 9
Rory
As soon as my sister comes through the door, I throw my arms around her, hugging her tightly.
“Rory, I missed you so much. I thought I’d never see you again. They were planning to ship us off to the next handlers in the morning,” my little sister says, sobbing on my shoulder.
“I’m so sorry, Brynlee. I didn’t think they’d do that.”
“I’m just glad it’s over. It is over, right?” I can’t get enough hugging in.
“Yes. We’re safe here.”
“This place is massive, and so are the guys that picked me up. Especially the one they call Knight.” I look into her eyes and see a slight sparkle. Her rescuers may now hold a special place in her heart.
“Girls,” Maddox says, knocking on the door frame.
“It’s almost midnight. Come count it down with me.” He takes my hand, and I take Brynlee’s. He leads us out to the balcony where there’s a small patio set with two cushioned chairs and a small loveseat. The table is filled with food and soft drinks and a bottle of champagne and two flutes.
“Sorry, but no champagne for you, but I did get you some Sprite. You can toast with us,” he tells her. She’s not afraid of him. In fact, she pulls away from me and throws her arms around our hero.
“That’s wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Devlin.”
“Call me, Maddox. I’m going to be your brother-in-law one day soon.”
“Wow, that’s fast.”
“I’m a man who knows what he wants and gets it. Thankfully, your sister agrees.”
“I didn’t agree to marry you,” I tease.
He wags his brow, “Oh yes, you did. You promised me forever. Sorry, the unbreakable contract was signed, sealed, and delivered.” The countdown starts below us where the masses are gathered in the large courtyard to watch the fireworks.
“Five, four, three, two, one. Happy New Year!” everyone shouts.
“Happy new year, ladies.” He drags me into his arms and whispers in my ear, “My year ended with a bang. How about you?” His lips press gently under my ear, kissing me in that sweet spot, and then down my jaw, peppering little kisses until he reaches my lips. Like a starving animal, he devours my mouth.
Breathless, I pull back, and so my sister can’t hear, I reply, “I say we start the new year with another bang.”
“Fuck, you’re killing me, Kitten.” He groans, and I giggle.
“You guys do realize that I’m still right here.”
“Sorry, squirt.” He rubs her head, messing up her hair. “Let’s watch the fireworks show.”
We sit down and stare up at the sky as it’s lit up with bright, amazingly beautiful colors.
* * *
It’s almost one in the morning, and Brynlee falls asleep in the chair. I nudge Maddox who’s playing with my hair. “She’s sleeping. What should we do? Where will she stay?” I whisper.
“Morris had a room prepared for her. It’s my sister’s old room, but for now, she can use it until we get her set up with her own room.” He kisses my forehead and stands up, scooping Brynlee in his arms and carries her back inside. I grab the door, opening it for him.
“My sister found prince charming,” she whispers to Maddox, and I can’t help thinking that despite everything, I believe I did. I feel like a rated-R version of Cinderella.
“I found my queen,” he answers, making my heart melt. The badass I met and saw is so damn soft underneath that my no one would believe me if I told them.
“Goodnight, Brynlee.” We leave her to sleep while we head back to his bedroom.
"I'm not tired, Maddox."
"No? Would you care for a drink?"
"No, lean back and relax, Mr. Devlin." He does as I request, and I slide my hands under his suit jacket, massaging his shoulders. A low groan slips past his lips. "Don't get a man used to this, Aurora." He continues to release the tension, and then I dip lower of the broad expanse of his chest and further. I reach his expensive leather belt and tug.
"Fuck, Kitten, you're asking for trouble."
"No, I'm asking for your cock."
"Then come here and give it a kiss." I slide around to the front of the sofa and then drop to my knees. Maddox reaches over and pulls down the zipper, pushing the straps off my shoulders and revealing my black, lacy strapless bra her sister brought for the outfit. Biting his bottom lip and shaking his head with a lecherous smirk, he leans back and lets me continue on my mission. There's something sexy about him releasing control. I pop the button on his pants and drag down the zipper. His thick cock presses hard against his boxers, tempting me. I run my hands up his muscular thighs, causing them to flex under my touch. "Take him out, now," he demands through gritted teeth.<
br />
I do it, revealing his lengthy shaft. His cock is sexy. Wow. I never thought I'd say that, but it feels good in my hands too. I rub him from base to tip, coaxing out a bead of come before bending forward to lick it off. Swiping my tongue over the head, I slowly slip it into my mouth, taking inch by inch until I'm on the verge of choking and pull up. I look up at him, aching to watch him and see that his eyes are trained on me, feral and hungry. "So pretty with my cock between your lips." My pussy's gushing between my legs. I can't even breathe because I'm shaking with need. I take him down again, picking up my pace, but he grips my hair and drags me off his cock. Maddox bends down, slamming his mouth on mine. Pinning me to the balcony rug, he slides up my dress and tears off my panties.
"Mine," he grunts, thrusting fully into my pussy. I cry out, loving the way my body takes his large cock. Both his hands trap me to the ground as he pumps into me until we're both sweating. He then tugs my bra down and sucks my nipple between his lips while one hand goes to the other, squeezing and teases it. I press his head harder on my breasts and roll my hips.
"Maddox," I moan. Looking at me with his sex-hazed eyes, Maddox devours my mouth while his strong hands roam over my body, gliding over my hips, sending pleasure over every inch of me.
He cups the back of my head, gripping my hair while his other hand squeezes my ass. And like that, my pussy explodes, clamping down on his cock, coming and dragging his release from him.
"Happy New Year, Aurora."
We were so lost in our passion we forgot that people were back inside partying, but neither of us cared.
Chapter 10
Maddox
A week into the new year and I can’t even express how much she’s made me love her. From the first moment I met her, she screamed generous and loving. I knew even then that my feelings for her were more than animalistic lust, but I want her to understand that.
After a long day in the office, I’m home. “Morris, where are my women?”
“They’re in the dining room, working on Ms. Brynlee’s homework.” We were able to get Brynlee into a private school with double security. She gave her testimony to the investigator, but because she’s a minor, her name and personal information will be kept private.
“Thanks.” I leave him and head straight there.
“Welcome home,” they shout in unison. Aurora jumps up and throws herself around me. I wrap her legs around my waist and kiss the fuck out of her.
“All these rooms in this mansion,” Brynlee sighs.
“Well, it happens to be the one your sister is in.” I stick my tongue out at her and then turn back to my sexy fiancé. “You know we need to get married soon. I’m tired of waiting for you to be my wife.”
“Um…it’s only been a week.”
“I know. I’m tired of waiting. What are you doing this weekend, squirt?” I ask Brynlee.
“I suppose attending a wedding.”
“See. Your sister knows it’s the plan.”
“Well, excuse me, but unless I’m going to get married in a pair of jeans, I doubt we can just get married.”
“My sister is coming over tomorrow to talk styles.” I set her back on her feet and then drop to one knee. “I love you, Aurora. I knew you were meant to be mine when you first stepped out of that car. Marry me.” I open the box that has been in my pocket for the whole drive home. I can’t wait another minute. I may have told her she was mine forever, but I want her to say it.
“Of course,” she says, choking on unshed tears. I stand up and slide the four-carat diamond on her finger. It’s huge, but everyone needs to know she’s mine. Her baby belly isn’t showing just yet, and I’m too impatient to find out if we’ll be having a baby.
Brynlee screams out with joy, and Knight comes running in. “Oh Sorry, I thought something happened.”
“It did. They are getting married.” She rolls her eyes even though she’s smiling.
“Yeah, that’s a given,” he remarks, shaking his head and walking back out of the room.
“I’m going to get a drink,” she mutters, leaving the room as well through the other door.
When I look back at Aurora, she’s grimacing. “He takes his job very seriously.”
“I didn’t think you’d mind, Kitten.” Fuck, I told him to let me know if she even sneezed because I don’t want Aurora to worry about her sister.
“I don’t. I just wonder…” She sighs.
“What?” I hold her close.
“Nothing. It’s like Knight feels protective over Brynlee.”
“That’s exactly what I told him to be.”
“Exactly. I think she’s reading more into it.”
Ah. Now that makes sense. “Do you think Bryn likes Knight?”
“I’m not sure, but it will hurt when she realizes he’s only doing his job.”
“She’s young. Love and happiness will come. Let’s eat dinner and then celebrate.” I lean in and kiss her lips while cupping her ass and giving it a squeeze.
“Damn, I keep walking into this mushy mess.”
“Then go back to your own home,” I growl out at my sister, who’s standing behind me.
“Well, Josh wanted to say hi.” I spin around to see my nephew smiling with his toothy grin. Fuck, they say that women get baby fever, but something in me wants to make sure Aurora’s carrying my baby even more.
“Oh, my goodness!” Aurora squeals, walking past me to pick up little Josh. The guy eagerly jumps in her arms.
Narrowing my eyes at him, I give him a very stern warning, “She’s mine, mister. Understood?” He turns and hugs Aurora tightly.
“Brat.”
“He loves women. I think it’s the breastfeeding thing.”
“Speaking of.” Aurora adjusts him as he tries to attack her tits.
“Fucking shit. I’m losing my edge. He’s going to hit on my woman right in front of me.” He’s too damn cute. I can’t wait to have a dozen boys.
“Jealous. It’s so great to see, but I need to steal Rory for a few minutes.”
“Are you staying for dinner?” I ask her.
“I might as well. Jackson is working late tonight. A double homicide.”
“How you married the cop investigating me still stuns me. Jackson’s lucky I actually like his ass.” My criminal activity has been monitored in the past; that’s a big part of why I’ve gone clean. It’s hard to keep fuckers like her husband off my ass. Granted, Aurora’s stepbrother suddenly went missing last week. I can’t say I did it or didn’t, but I wasn’t the only one looking for revenge on him. In fact, my informant tells me that they’ve pinned it on McDowell. All I know is Aurora will never have to worry about him again.
Epilogue
One Year Later
Maddox
“Happy New Year,” we three whisper to each other because little Maddox fell asleep on my chest after being fussy. We’re sitting on our balcony like we did the year before, except we have our new addition. Our boy is three months old today and so damn perfect.
I stare at my wife, reaching to pull her in for a kiss when I see a disgusted look on her face. “What’s wrong, Kitten?”
“Nothing.” Her lips are pressed tightly together, looking uncomfortable. “Excuse me,” she mutters out, dashing out of the room, and I’m on my feet, handing our son to my sister-in-law.
“Aurora, Rory, baby, are you okay?” I ask. She’s in our bathroom, throwing up. Shit.
I kneel down beside her and rub her back. “My love. We need to get you to the doctor.”
“No, I’m okay.”
“You most certainly aren’t. I should call a doctor.”
“I can handle a little bug, but I need the baby to be protected. Wait, maybe seeing a doctor will be a good idea.”
“Have you two considered you’ve knocked her up again?” Brynlee asks, walking into the bathroom.
“Um…we just had Mads, and I’m breastfeeding.”
“Yeah, but you should rule that out before you go and harass
a doctor on New Year’s Day. We can always visit an urgent care if necessary, but I’m betting you’re pregnant. You two can’t keep your hands off each other, especially since you got the go-ahead.” Laughing, she adds, “I’m going to lay him down.”
“Thanks.” I turn back to Aurora, who’s trying to stand and assist her.
She smiles up at me sheepishly. “I’m better now. I hope it’s not the flu. I can’t feed the baby that way, can I?” She washes her face and hands.
“We can always switch him now, but we can call your doctor. It’s not a big deal either way. I’ll head out first thing in the morning to pick some up along with some pregnancy tests. We’ll find the closest one to breast milk.”
“Okay. Thank you. I need some air.”
I carry my lovely wife out to the balcony, wrapping her up in my arms and a small blanket over us.
“Hey, I’m going to head to bed. The baby is okay, but here’s the monitor anyway.”
“Thanks, Brynlee.”
“Happy New Year, Maddox. You’re a great man. I’m so glad my sister made the sacrifice.” She gives me a quick hug, pulling back nervously. She’s come a long way since they brought her here. Most of her discomfort around men has disappeared or eased. She’s still a little skittish, but it helps with Knight guarding her.
“Me too. Me too.” She scurries off to bed after kissing Aurora’s forehead.
Once my pretty little wife is completely asleep, I carry my treasure to bed and tuck her in. I check in on the baby one more time before climbing in beside Aurora. Life doesn’t get any better than this.
* * *
“So we’re having another baby? That’s incredible. I know it’s pretty soon, but I love you, Aurora, and I want a dozen babies with you.”
“Me too. Kiss me, husband.” I bend down and take the kiss I’ve been hoping for since the doctor stepped out of the room.
“I could kiss you all day long.”
“But we have a son to get home to, and I’m getting hungry.”
