He released a tight breath, trying to hold his temper. For her. “Tell me.”
She shook her face against him.
“Tell me, baby,” he ordered, again.
“He said I’ll never keep you with no tits and no passion. I’m a lump in bed.”
“Shut it,” he growled. And she gasped against him. “Not going to show you right now. But you know ... you know that’s crap. Can’t barely keep my hands off you.” He shook her lightly. “You hear me,” he demanded.
“Yes,” she whimpered, and he felt her face hit his neck with more tears, then she told him the worst of what had happened.
He swore with his arms jerking against her. She’d come very close to being raped and he was having a hard time containing his anger. That damn bastard.
“I never expected anything like that,” Liv whispered.
What bothered him was why she was out at the rose farm as if she were hiding — he knew it meant she believed half the things her husband had spewed about her.
“I’m taking you home,” he muttered.
His full intentions had been to take Liv to his aunt’s house, then go after Darwin, but once he’d gotten her there he couldn’t leave her; she was too shaken. So he’d guided her into her bedroom.
“Take a shower, baby, I’ll wait here,” he said, and he didn’t like the bewildered and hurt look in her eyes.
“Okay, Axel.”
He decided the minute she closed the bathroom door that he had to stay, and he went to change into some PJ bottoms, because he knew exactly how he was going to do it. Back in her room, he fixed the bedcovers and pillows, and then he got in the bed.
First, he noticed how cute she looked in her nightie. It was some pink thing with ruffles, but her eyes were wide.
“Axel?”
“Get in bed,” he ordered, patting the space beside him. “This is the way it’s going to be, Liv. From now on.”
She looked more surprised, and then worried. “Um, I don’t know if I can ...”
“Just sleep, baby,” he interrupted her, guessing where her thoughts were going. “We’re going to do that too, but not until you’re ready.”
That seemed to completely relieve her, then he was pleased by how easily she got into the bed. It meant she really trusted him. But she tried to lay down on the far edge from him, and he shook his head, grabbed her waist, really liking the feel, and he pulled her into him. Him on his side and her on her back.
She made a surprised sound as he wrapped her up against him. “I’m a cuddler,” he murmured in her ear.
“You are?” she whispered.
He would have chuckled, but he wasn’t feeling too funny with her pressed against him. Still, he was going to ignore it, for her. He murmured an affirmative sound to her question. She sighed and lost about half the tension in her body.
“Like the nightie,” he murmured into her hair.
She made a small sound, then snuggled into him. “Thank you, honey.” He knew she wasn’t thanking him for the compliment on her nightie and he loved her calling him honey.
He laid there wondering if she was a talker before she went to sleep or a quiet thinker, before he reached back and turned off the light. “Every night. From now on,” he uttered, and he felt her nod.
It took her awhile to go to sleep and they shifted a few times, finally the one that put her under was the one where she laid on her side partially over him with her leg up over his thigh. He figured it was the way he could gently stroke her back that helped. As he listened to her soft breathing while she slept, he realized he was more relaxed too. By being with her, he’d brought his rage down. Good thing. Never good to go without a solid plan, so he wasn’t disappointed he had to wait.
The next morning Axel woke with a hard on and his hand inside Liv’s panties. Hell. At least he was cupping her butt, not her mound. He must have burrowed to find something nice to squeeze in his sleep. He looked through his lashes and he saw Liv was asleep, belly down with her face toward where he laid on his side. Her lips were parted and full and there was a strand of her hair over one eye and her nose.
He wanted to play morning wake up with his tongue deep in her mouth, but he’d promised her, and he knew after what her dick husband did, she’d not be ready for his hot and heavy.
He convinced his erection he had things to do, but it told him he better get it off in his morning shower or it would jump Liv and sink in deep, with pleasure. So he slipped away from Liv, not waking her, and he showered with a little jacking off thrown in. He dressed in the bathroom and slipped out to make morning coffee.
It was pretty early and he wasn't going to wake Liv unless he had too. Besides he had a mission to activate and he reached for his cell as he stood by the kitchen counter.
Jax picked up on the third ring. “Yo, bro.”
“Yo,” Axel offered back. “I need backup.”
“On what?” Jax asked.
Axel explained what happened to Liv the afternoon before.
“We don’t need jail time, so we need to get creative,” Axel said.
“You cool leaving the shop closed?” Jax asked.
“Yeah, for today. Can you recon his place, then head over here, buddy.”
“You got it,” Jax replied, then they both closed the call.
Axel stood at the counter debating on whether to let Liv in on this or leave her out. He planned to get her things back so maybe she’d figure it out either way.
Liv wandered into the kitchen lured by the smell of coffee. Axel’s gaze gave her the same slow burning perusal he had the morning before. Then he crooked his finger for her to come closer. He looked really good in stonewash black jeans and a chest hugging tee shirt that emphasized the pronounced muscles in his upper arms.
When she got close enough, he caught her waist and pulled her against him. “One of these mornings I’m going to give these sexy nighties you wear my appreciation, baby.”
Liv smiled against his mouth and they began kissing each other good morning.
Axel’s hands wandered to her bottom ... under her nightie. Then he groaned and lifted his head. “Pains me, but I cannot get into this, Jax is coming over.”
Liv rubbed her cheek along his jaw. She was in a bit of an arousal-by-kissing daze and thinking about feeling total body skin to skin. “What for?” she murmured, rubbing against Axel’s body.
He helped with his hands down her panties cupping her behind. “Going to treat your dick husband to some justice.”
That woke her out of her tingling haze. Instead of her hands petting him as they’d been doing, she used them to push and look up at him. “Excuse me? What did you say?”
Axel’s gaze grew instantly guarded as he looked down at her. “Not stopping me,” he warned.
Liv pushed more, until his hands came out of her panties, and she could step back so she could regard him. “I want to help,” she said.
Liv saw Axel’s look of surprise, then he laughed. “Hell, darlin, I thought you were going to bite my ass, not ask to help.”
She loved his laugh. It was very sexy. “I don’t want you in trouble or Andrew killed, but anything else, you have to let me help.”
Axel reached forward and grabbed her to pull her against him again. “You got it.” He cupped her jaw and kissed her several times. “I get to be your commander for this mission, Liv, and you must follow all my orders.” Liv shivered, and she knew he felt it, because his gaze lifted to hers. “You like me being in control?” he asked softly.
She nodded lightly. “Yes, sir,” she whispered.
He leaned forward against her ear. “Remember that for tonight in our bed.” Full-fledged body heat flushed through her. Then he gave her his first order, with a slap on her butt. “Go get dress, soldier.”
Chapter Fourteen
Liv couldn’t believe it. Axel and Jax had kidnapped Andrew. She was the driver and Andrew had a black bag over his head. Jax did all the talking. Well, really it was deep throated threats and
orders, while Andrew whined and his puny body shook. It was a blast!
Andrew deserved being scared crazy. Axel and Jax had gone into her old house, jumping on Andrew still in bed, pulling him out the back of the house, where she waited in her SUV. Andrew didn’t know it was his wife’s car, because he had a bag over his head! Axel had tossed her purse and cell onto the passenger seat when he’d been shoving Andrew into the back seat.
Then, Jax demanded, “Heard you fucked with Kiki. Don’t like men that touch women wrong, asshole.”
It was brilliant saying this had to do with Kiki!
“I never, I never!” Andrew wailed.
“You remember, I’m on you, I hear that shit again. With any woman!”
Then the most amazing thing happened, Axel and Jax started pulling Andrew’s pajamas off, until he was buck naked and Axel motioned for her to stop the car. Before she knew what the heck they could be doing, they pushed Andrew out of the car with the bag still tied over his head.
“It’ll be worst next time I hear you hurt a woman, bastard!” Jax yelled at Andrew who was cupping his bare genitals, while running down the road.
“Floor it,” Axel ordered, and she did, with tears of laughter in her eyes.
“Oh my God, that was so bad, it was good!” she exclaimed, as she looked in her rearview mirror, seeing Andrew’s pale ass, bouncing as he hopped down the highway.
When they got to Axel’s aunt’s house, an hour later after dropping Jax off, they were both still laughing. Liv couldn’t believe how empowered the stunt made her feel. And how turned on ... which was clinging to her from that morning and from sleeping next to Axel’s hard body all night. Maybe that’s why she felt bold enough to attack Axel the minute the door closed.
She felt surprise stiffen his body, when she hooked his shoulders and pressed against him so hard his back hit the entryway wall. She got his mouth on a laugh as she kissed him. Seconds later, he had her bottom caught in his hands and he was pulling her up his body, where she clamped her legs over his hips. Their lips nipped and lashed at each other’s, twisting one way, then tilting another. He turned and pressed her body into the wall and she could feel the hard length of his erection pressing deep into her.
She moaned.
His tongue swept into her mouth, while their hips ground together. For a half-second she broke their torrid kissing. “Condoms?” She gasped the question.
“Full damn box,” he returned the answer, just before his mouth covered her lips again.
An hour later, Axel had her sprawled naked on the bed with her legs tangled over his shoulders while he worked his brilliant mouth on her, toward climax. God, he was dedicated. She’d tried to stop him at thirty minutes, saying she was just too tense to have one. Not the truth that she’d never had one from oral before and only the rare occasion from a man’s fingers. While totally lusting after Axel, she’d forgotten about this issue.
But now ... with his tenaciousness.
“Oh God, Axel,” she cried passionately with her hips jumping in time with his fingers burning rapid circles over her clit. He had three fingers from his other hand pumping inside her and at odd untimed moments he lifted his finger and sucked hard on her clit. Her head thrashed as she tried to lose herself to the climax tightening inside her.
“Think about the ways I’ll fuck you, Liv,” he rasped, churning his fingers so fast over her clit. “Thrusting into you ... taking you hard.”
“Oh! Oh! Oh!” she panted. How did he know she needed that visual of her sex aching to be filled hard, deep, and fast? Then he thrust his fingers inside her, rocking her hips.
“Like this.” He thrust hard. “With you so wet on me as I stretch you and drive deep.”
Liv screeched, arching high, then Axel’s hot mouth melted over her sex and she felt a jerking tug that drew up her climax. It threw it up over the top into shudders and pleasure so intense she forgot to breathe for long seconds, just feeling it explode through her.
Axel moved her on the bed, until her thighs clamped his head as he sucked on her slit, while growling in a way she could only take as pleasure. Her body shook with her feet planted flat on his shoulder blades.
Minutes later, he licked her slit slowly as though he was savoring it, and she put her hand on top of his head. “I’m so sorry it took so long,” she started to say, but her words got stuck, when he lifted his head with a wicked grin on his lips and the embers of lust in his eyes.
“That was so damn hot,” he said. Then he began crawling up from between her legs. “You give me anything less than an hour on your sweetness and I’m going to be pissed.” He stopped at her taut nipple to suck on it and she could feel his erection, thick and hard, pushing into her slit.
“Axel,” she moaned as he nipped her nipple. “Okay,” she whispered, as he began pushing his thick shaft into her and she lifted her legs to accept him, while moaning.
Axel hooked his forearm under the small of Liv’s back, dragging her against him each time he thrust into her.
“G-God, you’re so big-g,” Liv gasped, and he pumped his hips faster with his face buried in her neck. He growled his response to her, swinging his hips.
“So good,” she mewled in his ear.
He was going to lose it, but he was fighting it, because making love to Liv felt so amazing he never wanted it to end. He wanted her for hours and in every position he could imagine. But he only had one left in him, and he unhooked her spine to drag her legs up on his shoulders as he pushed forward and rolled her ass up into his lower chest.
She squealed in pleasure as he looked down at his shaft pumping into her pink wetness. That did it. He clamped the back of her head dragging her lips to his mouth as he grunted a harsh groan of release, while taking her mouth deep. When his blissed-out brain started firing again, he realized Liv was on the last edges of another climax herself, while his big body held her curled.
“That never happened before,” she said breathlessly moments later, as he slowly pulled out of her, watching it happen.
“Never what?” he asked distracted. Her slit was reddish pink now and glistening wet.
“Climax with intercourse.”
His eyes jerked to hers as he held his body above hers, and she slowly lowered her legs down his thighs. “Maybe the position helped,” he said, with what he knew was a lot of arrogance underlying in his tone.
“I think it was you,” she said, with a seductive look as she stroked his chest. “Your mouth is amazing.”
He released his wicked grin and pushed off the bed. He had to dispose of the condom and he brought back a warm wash cloth for Liv.
“No, let me,” he said, when she tried to take it from him. She made a small frustrated sound and he winked at her. “I’m the boss, remember.”
He moved her thigh and put the warm wash cloth between her legs. “I’m attached to this pretty pinkness now,” he said huskily, watching his hand and the wash cloth clean her.
“Wow, just wow,” Liv whispered. “You make me feel really good, and ...”
He raised his eyes, while holding the warm wash cloth against her. “And what, baby?”
He could tell she was reluctant to finish, but she whispered, “Sexual. Really sexual, where I felt half dead before.”
Later, when he had her naked against him in a warm body cuddle before sleep, they talked about that. He admitted how long it had been since he’d been to bed with Kiki, and how much it frustrated and hurt him trying to ignore it.
“It’s like they make you feel as if there’s something wrong with you,” Liv whispered. “Not that their selfish and unresponsive.”
Axel kissed her temple. “Yeah, baby. Not that the reason they don’t want to go to bed with you is because they’re already getting screwed by someone else.”
“Oh my God, I never thought of it like that,” Liv exclaimed softly.
He’d thought of it ... many times since he’d found out Kiki was cheating. “What we just had here, sweetheart, shows we have a wh
ole lot to give, if they’d just have met us halfway.”
Liv nodded against him. “I’m loving how it’s making me feel as if I have one important and amazing thing way up on them. They could never come close to this.” She kissed him on the cheek. “They’re never getting anything this good.”
He loved the feel of her moving naked against him. “We’ve got to keep on top of this ‘us’ together,” he murmured, moving, rolling and lifting over her slowly.
“Again,” she whispered in wonder, petting his chest.
“You put the condom on this time,” he told her in response.
The next morning Liv smiled herself awake. She felt like a sex kitten stretching naked under the sheets. She could feel the light ache of vigorous lovemaking between her thighs. She just wanted to ... sing an opera! Laughing, she stretched more. She knew Axel was up already. He’d kissed her an hour or so earlier and said he was going to make coffee and she should sleep in.
God, she hadn’t felt this sexy in years. The thrill of it just hummed through her body. Liv turned on her tummy grabbing a pillow to shove under her chin as she stared at the headboard.
“Three orgasms,” she whispered.
Axel just didn’t take no for an answer, where her orgasms were concerned. He’d taught her a lot of things too. Like the way he had her rubbing her clit, while he thrust so good inside her. He acted as if she was really hot and he couldn’t get enough of her.
It made her freaking fly with happiness.
And, Axel’s body. “Yum,” she purred. She could stroke him forever; he was such a hunk of man.
She heard the door whisper open behind her, then Axel’s quiet voice. “Hey, baby, your cell is ringing.”
She heard the next ring as she started to turn, but the cell appeared in her line of vision. “Thank you,” she whispered over her shoulder to Axel before she looked back to her cell and took the call.
“Hello.” She paused listening ... “Katie, hi. Oh, it’s been a while.”
She hadn’t talked to her friend Katie in more than a month. As she listened to Katie inviting her to a barbeque, she felt Axel sitting beside her. Then his warm hand slowly stroked up her bare back. Her bottom shifted, as she took a deep breath.
