28. Marcus
Marcus
She finally said it. Madison finally fucking said the three words I had been dying to hear for what felt like forever.
I saw them in her eyes for weeks, unable to meet her lips.
Dean was always the one for relationships. I had never been in or even remotely considered trying the status on for size to see if I could handle it—and then she stepped into my life.
I was always just Marcus, never Marcus and…
But Madison… she changed everything for me.
My dreams, my ambitions.
I didn’t understand the appeal of love the way Dean always did, and now that I had a taste of it with her, I wanted to lick the bowl clean.
“What are you doing? You said Dean would be home soon.” Madison murmured against my lips as I pulled up her shirt and dragged my hand down under her thong and between her thighs .
“In half an hour, and you’re already soaked.” I groaned into her mouth as I dipped my middle finger inside her warm wet pussy, and she sucked in a sharp breath. “See. You want this just as badly as I do.”
Madison moaned breathlessly as she ran her fingers through my hair and tugged at the strands.
“More, more, more,” She pleaded with a whimper, and I slid in a second finger, curling them up against her G-spot and slowly working her up to her orgasm.
“Fuck, Marcus.”
I dragged my lips down the side of her chin and along her jawline before sucking on the sensitive skin just to the side of her throat.
I could feel the vibrations of her moans against my lips and started fucking her faster, my fingers twisting and curling with every thrust.
Madison rolled her hips against my hand, closing her eyes and panting in pure euphoria.
“Marcus, I need you. Please… please.” She bit her lip, dropping a hand from my hair to greedily tug at my belt.
“Not yet,” I whispered against her neck as I continued to suck and nibble the soft, tender skin.
“Ffffuuuccckkkk,” Madison hissed out a cry as her pussy tensed around my fingers, and I felt her come all over my palm.
“How long have you been waiting to release that today.” I chuckled as I pulled my fingers out with a smug smirk .
“Fuck. You.” She panted, pulling hard at my hair until I fell to the side, and she climbed over me, tearing my shirt down the center, buttons flying across the bed and room.
I couldn’t help but laugh as Madison aggressively unbuckled my belt and ripped open my pants, the zipper not even standing a chance against her raging, horny hunger.
After freeing my hard dick, she stood up on the bed, removing her thong and shirt before dropping back down to her knees and lining it up at her entrance.
Leaning forward, Madison gripped my shoulder as she lowered herself onto me, her walls squeezing my dick the deeper it went until she was fully seated against my pelvis.
Her eyes lifted to meet mine through dark lashes. I licked my lips, hands sliding up her thighs to grip her by the hips as she slowly rolled them against me.
I raised a hand to wrap around the back of her neck, pulling her face down to meet mine.
“I love you, Mads.” I breathed, my eyes fixed on hers as she rode me slowly.
“I love you, baby boy.” Her mouth claimed mine, eyes closing as she fell into the kiss with everything she had.
Fuck I loved this more than anything.
I finally understood the reason for loving someone with such fierce desire.
Desire that burned you to the fucking core and would leave you nothing more than a pile of ash if it was snuffed .
Madison was my fire, and I wanted her to burn me for all eternity.
“Marcus…”
After a whole night of drinking, eating pizza, and fucking, I knew the decision I was making was the right one, and I found myself this morning at Alpha-Six—standing right in front of Drake as he sat behind his desk with a pissed-off look on his face.
“If you want me to be your middle man and glorified babysitter, I should have the privilege of coming and going as I please from here, in addition to open communication with you.”
Drake pressed his thumb and index finger along his brows as he sighed, leaning back in his office chair.
“Anything else?” He didn’t drop his hand to look at me. Drake just sat there with his fingers pressed so hard against his skull that the tips started turning white.
“The favor… for Madison.”
I wasn’t doing this for me. It was all for her. Sure, it would be cool to have the opportunity to work with Drake and his underground SWAT division long-term, but ultimately, she impacted my decision to help more than anything.
“What about it?”
“Tell me what it is. What kind of favor can you possibly offer me—her, that would be too good to pass up? ”
I had a solid idea, as did Dean when I initially brought it up to him, but I wanted to hear the words directly from the source.
I wanted Drake to tell me exactly what was covered by this so-called favor he offered.
“The name goes without question. Adrian.” He started, dropping his arm down to rest on the edge of his desk. “But the catch? I know without a doubt that she wants revenge on his sorry ass for everything he has ever done to her.”
“I’m not following. How do you know what he did to her?”
“Why do you think I know so much about all three of those women? Sure as fuck wasn’t just Charlotte that graced us with an introduction several years ago.”
I felt my hands turn into strained fists at my side, my jaw clenching at the thought of Drake having the ability to have prevented or stopped what had happened to Madison before Adrian took it too far.
I said nothing; I just stood there with blind rage coursing through my veins because I knew that anything more I had to say to him would end our conversation and agreement to work together.
“Fuck sake, kid…” Drake sighed, leaning forward and adjusting his position to rest both forearms on the desk, his fingers interlaced in front of him. “There was nothing I could have done to protect her or stop him. Adrian had already sunk his fangs deep into her before we crossed paths.”
My jaw ticked as I glared at Drake, deep-seated anger seething within me. I found it difficult to stand here any longer, to look at the one man who could—should have done something far sooner .
“Do you want this for her or not? I can’t fix the past, but I can give her this.
I can give Madison a chance to finally breathe again.
” Drake gave another heavy sigh as he continued.
“Don’t think I didn’t wish I could have helped when I knew what he was doing to her.
The only thing I could do was watch closely enough to ensure that Adrian didn’t do the unthinkable. ”
As if that made any difference.
Adrian broke Madison, and no one dared to help pick up the pieces on her behalf.
“How soon?” I questioned, crossing my arms over my chest with a long sigh.
“As soon as she’s ready. Just give me a call, and I’ll take care of everything on the back end.”
“And she won’t be taken down for this?”
“No one will even know she did it. You have my word.” Drake promised with a curt nod. “She’ll be doing us all a favor in the end by eliminating that monstrosity from the earth.”
So, not only would Adrian’s death benefit Madison but all parties involved. It would be a win for everyone—everyone besides the man himself.
“Then we have a deal.”
I stepped forward and held my hand out as soon as I was within arms reach of Drake.
Madison would get what she was owed—her revenge.
Everything was always for her.
