Chapter Twenty #2
“And it’s our first overnight without Aaron, so I’m nervous,” Lennon adds. Aaron was born in March, so he’s only four months old.
“Don’t be nervous. We’ve got it!” Sophie reassures her, but all I hear is that Liam and I are going to have the house to ourselves.
Alone.
“Where are you going?” I ask as we all walk out of the cafe.
“Spending a night at a fancy hotel where we’ll eat dinner while it’s still hot and be able to hold a conversation without a child screaming and throwing food,” Lennon says, grinning. “I’ll miss the kids, but Hunter and I need this. Quickies in the shower become hazardous after a while.”
I blush instantly at the image of Liam and me in the shower a couple of weeks ago when Sophie came home from work early. Sophie gives me a weird look, but I quickly giggle at Lennon’s story.
“So basically, Mason and Sophie are watching the kids so you can get laid,” I blurt.
“Yep.” Lennon snaps her fingers. “Though it’s more likely that we’ll be passed out by nine o’clock.”
Sophie and I laugh, then exchange hugs and goodbyes with Lennon before walking to her car. We get inside, and she zooms down the street like she’s racing every vehicle that pulls up beside her.
“So are you dead set on cherry red for the bridesmaids’ dresses?” I ask once we’re halfway home. “I look really good in black. Just saying.” I smirk as I type out a text to Liam.
Maddie
The adults are gonna be gone tonight. Don’t make plans.
Liam
Fuck. I better cancel those strippers then.
Maddie
Why? They can watch.
Liam
That’s an odd kink, but I’m not arguing I’ll get Diamond & Starr here ASAP!
“What’re you giggling about over there?” Sophie asks, and I quickly lock my phone.
“Nothing, just texting a friend.” I frown at how fast the half-lie comes out.
“So, whatever happened to that hot officer guy? The one you went out with a couple of weekends ago?”
“Oh, Blake…” I pause, trying to find the right words because I can’t tell her the real reason. “He’s texted me a few times since then, but honestly, I wasn’t feeling it. So I let him down easy.”
“Really?” She furrows her brows. “He seemed like your type. Tall, hot, wears a uniform.”
Shrugging, I don’t respond. Technically, I’m not lying, except that Blake is definitely the kind of guy I would’ve been attracted to, if my heart wasn’t already taken.
She remains quiet, and when she parks in the driveway, she stops me when I unbuckle. “Mads, wait.”
“Yeah?” I frown at the concern etched all over her face.
She sighs before locking her gaze with mine. “What’re you doing?”
I search her expression. “What do you mean?”
“You and Liam,” she clarifies. “He’s married, Maddie.”
I furrow my brows and pull back as if she’s slapped me. “I’m well aware of that. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“No? Then why are you two sneaking around?”
“What?” I squeal, my heart racing. “We’re friends, Soph. Just like always. In a weird brotherly-sister kind of way.”
Crossing her arms, Sophie wears a hard and unwavering expression. “Really? So you’re not fooling around with him?”
I pin her with a hard stare. “You think if we were doing stuff, I wouldn’t scream that kind of news off the rooftops? After all this time, if he gave any inkling of wanting me, you think I’d be able to keep that a secret?”
She pinches her lips together and shrugs again. “I don’t know, Mads. You two have been very strange lately…”
“I haven’t been working as much and am home most days.
We’re forced to hang out when he’s not traveling.
I don’t know what’s so strange about that.
” I grab the door handle and get out before she can continue to drill me.
I fucking hate lying to her face, but I know the consequences if she found out the truth.
I stay in my room until my stomach starts growling, and then I surface to find some food. It’s six o’clock, and Mason and Sophie are running around getting ready to leave for the night.
“Are you two sure you know how to take care of children on your own?” I tease when Sophie trips over her shoes, and Mason catches her.
Sophie straightens herself and squares her shoulders. “I was the pillow pregnant mom, remember?”
“Wait, what?” Mason asks, and I laugh.
“Long story, I’ll tell you in the car. We better get going if we’re gonna make it on time with Saturday night traffic,” Sophie explains.
I tell them goodbye as they fly out the door, then text Liam.
Maddie
Why aren’t you naked in my bed?
Liam
Why aren’t YOU naked in MY bed?
Maddie
When’s the last time you’ve changed your sheets?
Liam
A week ago, thank you very much.
I snort at his smart-ass remark.
Maddie
Well, I changed mine last night, so I win.
Liam
Let’s go get dinner.
Maddie
You sure that’s a good idea? With the spy-patrol watching?
Liam
Just be your normal pain in the ass self and they’ll know you’re just my annoying friend.
Maddie
Just for that, you’re buying.
Liam
Considering you have $8 in your purse, I was planning on it.
Maddie
You’re a stalker!
Liam
I heard chicks dig sexy stalkers.
Maddie
I never said sexy.
Liam
Really? Pretty sure I heard it.
I go to Liam’s room and barge in without knocking.
“I could’ve been jerking off,” he says, lying back on his bed with his arms behind his head.
“Are you looking at Serena’s vagina picture again?” I shut the door behind me, then walk toward him.
“And now my dick is soft. Thanks a lot.” He groans, but I find it hilarious, considering he’s friends with her too, and everyone assumed they were hooking up before the truth was revealed.
I straddle his lap and rock my hips. “How about now?”
Liam reaches for me and moves me against his erection. “Now you’re purposely distracting me when…” His head falls back on a moan as he jerks his body upward. “Okay, nope.” He grabs my waist and pulls me down on the bed next to him.
Sticking out my lower lip, I pout. He looks way too damn good in his dark jeans and a gray hoodie. “Nope, what? You don’t like your cock feeling good?”
“Maddie.” He growls, leaning over on his side to face me.
“We have the house to ourselves,” I remind him. “Slap a condom on and fuck me already.”
Liam’s jaw twitches as he brings a hand up to my cheek. “If you think guys slap a rubber on their dicks, then maybe that’s a sign you’re not ready.”
“Oh my God.” I throw my head back, groaning extra loud to annoy him. “We’ve done everything besides have sex, plus we used BOB how many times? You’re not just a random guy I met at a bar. How much more ready do you want me to be?”
“Trust me, Mads…fuck, I want to. Okay? You have no idea how much I’m holding back but—”
Before he can continue, I wrap my arm around him and pull his mouth to mine, sliding my tongue deep inside.
“Maddie,” he murmurs against my lips. “This isn’t gonna change my mind.”
Wanna bet?
“I’m not gonna break,” I tell him.
“I know, but losing your virginity should be special. Let me take you out to eat, at least.”
“You’ve been watching too many romantic comedies.”
He glares, and I smirk, roaming my hand up his shirt.
“I’ve been waiting three years for you, Liam. I could’ve given my V-card to any guy, but I wanted it to be you.”
His hand wraps around my back before sliding to my ass and squeezing. Then he rests his forehead on mine, the way that turns my insides to mush. “If I take your virginity, it means you’re mine, baby. You ready for that?”
Leaning back slightly, I stare at the gorgeous, kind, heartfelt man in front of me. “Yes, please.”
“Promise me, Maddie. No matter what happens.”
“I promise, Liam,” I tell him, meaning every word. “Always.”
“Good, because I’ve always been yours. Even when I fought it.”
Our lips crash together, eager and aggressive, both of us clawing at each other to get closer. I trust Liam with my life, and I know he’ll be careful with me. I’ve never doubted him even when I felt betrayed, but knowing what he did to protect me has made me fall even harder.
Liam takes his time undressing me, kissing and touching me everywhere, and my body’s so hot I’m ready to burn right through the sheets.
I arch my back as he brings his mouth to my pussy, sucking my clit as he fingers me, stretching me with three long digits.
The sensation of him doing both is so intense, my toes curl as I fist the covers underneath me.
He moves a hand up to my breast and rubs his finger around my nipple ring.
The intense pressure shoots down my spine as an orgasm rips through me, and my legs shake around his shoulders.
Liam continues flicking his tongue against my clit, and this time when I moan his name, I don’t hold back.
I scream out in pleasure, thrusting my hips hard against his mouth.
“Shit, baby.” He presses a kiss to the inside of my thigh. “You’re so fucking wet.”
My chest heaves as I try to catch my breath, and when he leans up, he starts laughing.
“You gonna make it?”
I nod, chuckling. “That was the orgasm of all orgasms. One for the record books.”
“Better than BOB?”
Giggling, I pull him closer and wrap my legs around his waist. “BOB who?”
He cups my face and kisses me passionately. The taste of my arousal on his lips turns me on more, knowing his mouth was down on me. Everything about him lights my body on fire.
“Take off your clothes,” I demand. “Let me count your tattoos with my tongue.”
“Jesus fuck, yes.” He strips, giving me the best damn view in the world. Ink lines his arms, chest, and back. I could stare at them for hours, but for now, I’m ready to devour him.
Once he’s undressed, he grabs a condom and sheaths himself. Liam’s big and thick. I can’t quite fit him fully into my mouth, and I usually choke trying. He’s hard as a rock, and my eyes widen as he pumps himself.
“You can change your mind, baby,” he says softly, towering over me. “By the fear in your expression—”
“It’s not that. It’s just…” I blush a little, licking my lips. “Will it be pleasurable for you? Having to go so slow and—”
He tilts my head up. “Seriously? You’re worried I’m not gonna enjoy this? Are you crazy?”
“A little, probably.”
“You’re gonna squeeze my dick so goddamn tight, I’ll have to focus super hard not to come in ten seconds.”
I snort at his honesty.
“I’m just as anxious as you are, baby. I hate knowing you’re about to be in pain because of me.”
He lies beside me, slides his hand down my waist, then spreads my legs and slips a finger inside me. My breath hitches as he drives me closer to the edge, my arousal covering his fingers.
Liam moves to my breast, flicking his tongue around my nipple ring. Then he parts my legs and settles between them as he strokes his cock. He guides himself up and down my pussy a few times before pushing himself slowly into my entrance.
My back goes stiff, his shaft so much thicker than his fingers, but I inhale deeply and relax enough for him to slide in farther.
“You okay, sweetheart?” His gaze hardens on me.
I nod. “Keep going.”
Widening my legs, I hold my breath as he pushes in deeper. The sensation is foreign, the feeling of stretching is mostly uncomfortable but not horrible. Liam releases himself and circles my clit, focusing his attention on my gaze.
“Breathe, baby. Relax for me.”
“I’m trying,” I tell him. “Just keep going.”
“Almost all the way in,” he tells me. Then he thrusts a little, and my hips jerk forward. “You okay?”
“I think so.” I laugh, then nod. “Don’t stop.”
He pulls back slightly before pushing in again. This time, my wetness coats him, and he slides in easier.
“Fuck, you feel so good.” He moans and my heart rate quickens.
My mind spins at the reality that this is really happening.
“You’re so tight, Mads. Does it hurt a lot?”
“No, mostly discomfort, but not as painful as I was expecting,” I say honestly.
“Let’s try this.” He grabs my leg and hikes it around his hip, placing his hand underneath my thigh. “This okay?”
“Yeah, that feels really good, actually.” My eyes flutter as he continues moving. “More.”
Liam grips my hip and keeps his pace, grunting and moaning as intense pressure soars through me. We find a rhythm, and I rock against him with each thrust, my pussy tightening around his cock. He brings his thumb back to my clit and rubs hard and fast, the sensitivity more powerful than before.
“God, Maddie.” He groans. “Fuck, it’s too good.”
His movements are gentle, and I know he’s struggling to contain himself. If we ever get another chance to be alone, I’m not going to let him be so nice. I want him to pound into me harder and deeper.
Liam shifts and towers over me, keeping my legs around his waist. Then he smiles before pressing a hard kiss to my mouth, and when I slide my tongue between his lips, I wrap my arms around his neck and yank him closer.
It pushes him deeper inside me, but before he can pull away, I dig my heels into his ass cheeks, keeping him pressed against me.
He gets the hint and thrusts faster, this time the pressure gives me goose bumps as my thighs shake against him.
“Oh my God,” I breathe out as my back flies off the bed. “Don’t stop. God, don’t stop.” I’m nearly begging as Liam digs his teeth into my neck against the pulsing bliss.
“Baby, I’m so close. I’m gonna come so fucking hard,” he moans against my ear.
“Yes…yes,” I encourage, already knowing I’m going to be so sore tomorrow. But perhaps years of dance class have prepared me enough so I won’t feel like I’ve been horseback riding for hours.
I watch as he falls apart and growls through his release. The vein in his neck is so thick I’m afraid it’ll burst. It’s a beautiful sight. He pulls out and strokes his cock as he finishes on me. There’s a little blood on the condom and his hand, but if he notices, he doesn’t acknowledge it.
“Give me one minute. Be right back.” He winks, then slides off the bed, and I admire his bare ass as he walks out of the room.
Moments later, he returns condom-free and with a washcloth.
He doesn’t hand it to me like I expect and shocks me when he kneels between my legs and cleans my thighs and pussy.
I swallow hard as he takes care of me as intently as he promised.
If he’s not careful, he’s going to make me fall in love with him.
As if I haven’t already.
