I took a step forward, narrowing my eyes. “And what? I’m not good enough to meet your mother? Besides, it was the only way to get you alone. I’ve never met a man so relentless in his pursuit to turn away from someone so quickly.”
“I have a bad history with liars,” he said, holding his hands up, frustration on his face.
“I lied, and you’ve crucified me for it.” I took a deep breath. “Fine, we are no longer more than fucking, you’ve made that clear. I’ll accept that now, but can we at least be civil or are you going to act like a fucking child much longer? Because if not, I can’t deal with this animosity. If it doesn’t bother you that we won’t be together more intimately, you shouldn’t be holding such a grudge.”
“What do you want, Violet? And just what do you consider civil?” He took a step toward me. “You see I can’t be civil around you because all I want to do is fuck your mouth, lick your pussy, and pound my dick into you so hard that you forget to fucking breathe.” He made quick strides toward me. My legs trembled knowing what he was capable of. I couldn’t hide my arousal. He watched my resolve crumble as he stood a foot away.
“You are a lot of talk, baby.” He lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers around my wrist to test my pulse point. “But you aren’t in charge here, are you? Your heart is beating so fucking fast for me. I bet that pussy is pulsing with my every word. Don’t corner me, sweetheart, and demand anything. You get what I give. It’s my cock that fills you, my lips and tongue that make you scream, not your husband’s. I already own your body. I don’t need anything else.”
His words stung. I was his toy. He was supposed to be mine. I just had to accept it.
“I told you he’s gone, Rhys. My husband is gone. HE. IS. GONE. And fuck you for thinking I’m not good enough to be introduced to your family.” I turned away from him but he held my wrist.
“Stop it, you know damn well I don’t think that of you. I was bombarded. You are married, Violet. It isn’t right. Do you think they buy the fact that we are friends? You are so fucking beautiful—” He stopped himself, his emotion taking hold as he looked down at the porch between us.
“I miss you,” I said. “I’ve spent so much time thinking about you, I don’t even know if I was beginning to fall for you or who I thought you might be. I just wanted another chance. And now I’ve embarrassed myself … again.” He hadn’t let go of my wrist, his eyes reaching mine the moment I said I missed him.
“Violet, this isn’t just about me and what I want. My family—”
I yanked my wrist away and glared at him, my resolve coming back in waves. ”You know what, Rhys? You want to punish me, go right the fuck ahead. I love every single punishment you deal out. That was the purpose of all of this, anyway. You are right, I am dripping and I am dying for a shot at that cock, but I don’t need to be judged and dismissed. You keep that shit to yourself. I’ll be your sub when I’m supposed to. But out here, in the world of people like Alex, this bitch will dish it out as much as she takes it. Good day, sir. Have your cock text me. If not, it’s not the only cock in the world.”
Fury, fire, possessiveness, all of those things flooded his eyes instantly. He wasn’t done with me. If I didn’t have his heart’s attention, I had his dick’s.
With that, I walked into the restaurant. Seconds later, he grabbed my arm in a friendly gesture as he walked with me. “Who are you here with, Violet?” I looked to see amusement in his face as my face paled. “My mother,” I said completely confused.
“Well then, let’s meet mommy and tell her what her little girl has been up to.” I studied his face, but he gave nothing away. I began to panic. “Rhys, you wouldn’t,” I said, terrified.
“Of course I wouldn’t,” he whispered deviously.
“Mother, this is Rhys Volz, a friend of mine,” I said quickly and loudly before Rhys could introduce himself. Terror crept up my spine as I thought of the thousand things he could say or insinuate in front of a woman who knew everything about me intuitively. Like the day I started my period, the first time I snuck out, even the first time I had sex. I used to think she had a camera in my room and a tracking device in my car. The fact was, the woman could have been a spy, and a damn good one.
My mother spit a small amount of her drink out, but recovered quickly. She stood slowly and grabbed his hand. “I can see why my daughter fancies you.” I turned bright red and looked at Rhys who shook her hand and smiled, releasing it slowly.
“Your beautiful daughter was just telling me about her husband, Alex.” He snickered and my mother caught it.
“Oh dear, Mr. Volz, I sure hope she did tell you the truth on how she kicked that piece of shit out of their home for cheating a few weeks back.” I stiffened as Rhys stood there in shock before laughing loudly, drawing attention to us. He gave me a wondering glance and I could tell then he forgave me just a little. I sat down, red faced, and grabbed my watered down Bloody Mary.
“Come to think of it, Mrs. …?”
“Hale, darlin’,” she said smartly.
“Mrs. Hale, she did mention it.” He looked over to his table. “Ladies, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to my family. Enjoy your brunch. You should try the buttered lobster. I’m told it’s quite good.” He winked at my mother, kissed my wrist, and was gone.
Touché’, Rhys.
“Holy hell, Violet, he makes Alex look like the garbage man.”
“I know, Mom,” I said with a sigh.
“Good lord, I need another drink.” She fanned herself with her hand and I just shook my head. If she only knew what the man could do with ten minutes and his tongue—okay, five…hell, three.
“That’s the kind of man that would make you happy, Vi.”
I saw my phone light up and read the message.
R: My club two hours. RED.
“No, Mom,” I said as my eyes followed Rhys as he took his seat, “That’s the kind of man who could truly ruin my life. Shall we order?”
I was shaking as he surveyed me from head to toe. I rubbed my hands together before covering my lower half, but he smacked them away.
“Don’t you dare cover that pretty pussy,” he growled, circling me as if stalking his prey. We were in a smaller room covered wall to wall with plush black carpet. “Did I hear you right earlier, Violet? Did you say there was more than one cock in the world?” He gripped the back of my neck. “Get on your knees.”
I dropped instantly, the heat building inside me. I was breathless and near exhaustion from the rush of adrenaline that had been coursing through me the last two hours. He leaned down behind me as his hands covered each shoulder before sliding down my arms. My eyes fluttered shut with the pleasure of his gentle touch and then opened when he suddenly pushed me down on all fours. I was bared to him now and felt his thick cock brush my center. He dipped the tip of himself into me and removed it quickly. I shuddered with need, swollen and desperate for the attention he could give. Tonight he wouldn’t be playing nice. I’d made sure of it.
“Rough day?” I smiled knowing I had just asked for the pain. I wanted to provoke him. I wanted punishment. Instead of getting what I hoped for, I heard the door click shut with his departure.
Well, fuck.
I was on all fours, naked, swollen, without a damn clue what to do. I should have kept my mouth shut. I slid my hand between my thighs, but knew I couldn’t get relief that way. I had never been able to and envied the women who could. I circled my clit, drawing moisture from my middle, and brought it up. I was hot, bothered, fucking consumed by the man who had just deserted me when I needed him most. I circled myself over and over, unable to get the pulling feeling I so desperately needed. Tears sprang to my eyes as I thought of the steps I had taken to be here, the hurdles I had jumped. I had made peace with my sexuality. I had made peace with my body. I had new cravings that could no longer be ignored. Rhys had brought them out of me and was denying me what he knew I needed. Furious and turned on, I was completely fucked and not in the sense I wante
d to be.
I breathed a little easier when I heard the door open again, until I heard his voice. “You NEVER come until I make you.” He pulled my hair roughly so my neck was exposed to his mouth. I felt his breath coming out hard in my ear as he gripped my hair and met my eyes. “Did you come?” he gritted through his teeth, his beautiful features contorting in anger.
“No, I can’t. I need you,” I begged. His lips traced the curve of my neck, landing in the divot. He used his tongue then and let it glide up my neck. I panted heavily, my hand gliding back down between my thighs to touch the pulsating need in me.
“What the fuck are you doing?” he said, releasing my hair and standing in front of me. I jerked my hand away.
“I didn’t even realize I was doing it.” He was fully dressed now and l felt the tears coming heavy. “Please, I need this. I want this so bad. Don’t leave me here like this.”
He looked down at me without empathy and shook his head. His smirk was menacing. “You defy me and still beg for my dick, a dick you could so easily replace.”
“Yes, I’m begging,” I said looking into his grey depths. “I’m begging,” I said, ashamed of my behavior. He remained standing in front of me, a tower of strength, his eyes piercing mine. The longer I waited, the more furious I became. I could get laid. I didn’t have to act like a dog in heat for this shit. What was I doing? I rose to my feet and gave him my famous death stare.
“You know what, fuck you. This isn’t worth it. Go find another whore to play with.” I turned to walk away and was thrown against the wall, my palms flat. I cried out in pure fury and was instantly filled with his cock from behind. I screamed out in pleasure and began sliding down the wall as my limbs betrayed me. He gripped my wrists, holding me tighter while he fucked me roughly. I was completely full and felt every grinding inch as he took me hard and viscous. His strokes were filled with anger and lust and I felt my body tense. I was in flames, completely covered in sweat as I heard his grunts and felt his breath on my neck.
“This body is mine as long as I want it. As long as I want you filled with my cock, you will be. Do you hear me?” He stopped his strokes, pulling out of me and I immediately let out a protesting scream.
“Yes, yes I hear you!” I was almost there and he knew it and there was no way I would let him out of this room until I got it. I whirled on him, slapping his face. I was wild eyed and determined to get what I had rightfully earned. He stuck his thumb against his lips and pulled away a small amount of blood. This seemed to excite him as I stood there chest heaving, staring into his heartless gaze. “What the fuck are you doing to me?” I said desperately, trying to get my emotions in check. “I thought I made it clear I wanted pleasure. This is not pleasure!”
He gripped my neck with both hands, covering my lips with his, our first kiss in weeks. I opened my mouth without protest as he slipped his tongue past mine to taste my mouth. I moaned and he immediately relented.
“Your moaning, and screaming when I taste you, fuck you, that’s pleasure.” I glared at him.
“You know what I need!” I said, pushing his rock hard chest, unable to move him at all.
“I know you aren’t listening to your body. Your fucking tits are drawn up so tight they probably hurt.”
He flicked my nipple with his fingers and I nearly dropped to my knees. He pinched the nipple he had just punished, making it even more painful. Before I could jerk away, his mouth was on it. I tilted my head back, burying my hands in his thick black hair. He released my nipple from his teeth and licked around the peak repeatedly, showcasing the skilled movement of his tongue until I felt my core clench. He smirked as he watched me react and slid his hand down my stomach until he reached my aching clit. His eyes grew tense with desire as he slid his finger along my pussy in a punishing stroke.
“I listen to your body.” He taunted as his fingers slid inside me, I bucked into his hand, crying out. “Your body tells me what to do.” He turned me to face away from him and bit my shoulder while still sliding his fingers in and out of me. He trailed my wetness to the top of my ass sliding a single finger in my puckered hole. I moved my hips, grinding into it, loving the feel.
“Hmm, tempting, but I want to fuck that pretty pink pussy.” He cupped the back of my thighs spreading me wide and with one deep thrust was inside me again, keeping his finger darting in and out of my now slick ass. Every single inch of my skin was peaked with each stroke. The fullness of his cock, the finger penetrating my darkest place, it was exquisite. I felt the pull again as he bent me over further, hitting me deeply and drawing out my moans. I lost it minutes later, screaming and coming, screaming and coming, until all that was left of me was a shaking mess. I still felt the rhythm of his pounding though it was slowing. He pulled out of me and turned me quickly, taking my mouth in a tender kiss filled with everything it hadn’t been minutes before.
It was amazing and genuine and filled with so much. I was too scattered to even wrap my mind around it. I kissed him back, his cool tongue putting me at ease. The next thing I knew, I was straddling him on the floor, slowly riding him. He looked up to me and kept my gaze as I slid on top of him, completely dazed and fucked out of my mind.
“So fucking beautiful. I’m going to make you come again, Violet, nice and slow.” My chest tightened at the way he said my name. I fought the emotion as my eyes bore into his. He reached up to my still throbbing clit and pressed hard as he pumped his huge cock into me from beneath. I felt that pull again and roamed his chest with my hands as he thrust up, moving both of our bodies, circling my clit. “Eyes on mine,” he commanded, “those fucking gasps belong to me, and you give them to me when I give them to you.”
The minute our eyes fully connected, I came again. Leaning in, our lips met, our tongues thrust together. He pumped furiously into me, making my orgasm last. When I felt his hotness spurt into me, I reached below me and circled the base of his cock with my fingers, pumping hard while I moved up and down his shaft quickly with my body. He let out a grunt, as I watched him come, staring directly at my mouth parted.
“I’m not done,” he said, lifting me from him abruptly and placing me beneath him so I was on my back. I looked down between us to see him half-hard and became wide-eyed when he brought himself back into me, growing harder with each thrust. I tilted my neck up with my moan and felt his lips cover it.
I heard him whisper, though it was faint, “I missed you, too.”
An hour later, we were tangled on the floor, his mouth covering mine in a slow kiss that had my toes curling and my body aching for more. He leaned in, taking my mouth and tasting me, my arms and legs wrapped around him. It was as if we were making up for lost time. He pulled away, placing small kisses on my nose and chin before devouring my mouth once again. When he pulled back, I noticed the small place on his lip with broken skin.
I brushed my finger over it. “I’m sorry.”
“For what? I’ve been dying to get the best of your temper since we started this.” He grinned and licked his lip. “Tastes like sweet victory.” He removed himself carefully from underneath me and I mourned the loss of him.
“I’ve never hit another human being in my life,” I said, sincerely saddened that was no longer the truth, and even more so about the fact that the first human being was him.
He gathered his clothes and turned to me as he started putting them on. “These things we do, they bring out the best and worst in us, Violet. There is a balance and a morality you have to kind of follow. Otherwise, the lines get blurred, and that can lead to a ton of shit.” He buttoned his shirt, eyeing my body.
“Like what?” I asked, curious, hoping he would change his mind about the last button. He didn’t, and I sighed at the loss.
“Like ménage, and the third person brought in and becoming an affair for one of the partners,” he said, turning to look at me. “That’s just one of a thousand things. I have to go.”
“Well, I am good on ménage, if that’s what you’re wondering. The
only reason I liked Tara was because your eyes were on me. It wasn’t her turning me on.” He looked touched and I almost laughed.
“Good to know. But you know that’s not the only scenario,” he said, his eyebrows lifted in challenge.
“I’m good on that, too. As far as I’m concerned, your cock is the only one in the world.”
He gave me another breathtaking smile as he began to walk away, seeming to think better of it and turned to kneel down and kiss me. I took his tongue, sucking it sweetly and giggled when he groaned, collapsing on top of me to taste my mouth further.
“Does this mean you forgive me?” I asked as he held his lips an inch from mine, hovering over my face.
“I’m trying. I have to able to trust you, Violet.”
I nodded as I tugged his bottom lip with my teeth, my mouth full of it as I mumbled, “Go, then. Wait...where are you going?”
“Family stuff,” he said, nodding toward my naked body. “Are you planning on getting dressed?”
“When I’m good and ready,” I said, challenging him.
“Violet, don’t make me bring down the hammer. I can’t insure you’re safe when I’m not here.” I didn’t say a word and got up, putting my clothes on.
He grinned as he watched me slide on my panties. “You know, you may be the worst sub I’ve ever had. I saw where you got that sassy mouth from today.”
“It’s an art us Hale women have perfected. Don’t try and change it.”
“Why change it, baby, when I have a cork that fits it just right?”
“Ha ha,” I said, pulling my sweater over my head. “So why are you selling?” I knew I was pushing it. I’d barely made my way back into his good graces.
“I never wanted this club. I might enjoy the lifestyle, but I do not want to host it. That’s not me. That’s... just not me,” he said, turning off the light and opening the door as I grabbed my purse.
“So how did you end up with it?” He gave me a hard glance. I had a feeling his reluctance to answer had more to do with his stubbornness than his grudge against me.
