Chapter 22
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Landon
W hile we wait for Maverick and Violet, I fill Axel in on what was said at Claire and Dad’s place.
“Fuck,” Axel says. Which is actually a very Axel response.
“So, move to the city? Yes, no, maybe?”
“Yeah, I mean I can get a job in the city, I’m a fucking teacher.”
“And a potty mouth as well.”
Axel doesn’t say anything, just flips me off.
Before we can continue our conversation Violet’s laughter reaches us, turning around just in time to see Maverick and her enter the lounge room, walking towards the door.
Patting her stomach Violet calls out “Pretty sure someone said food?”
Not even three minutes later, we are pulling up to a local Cafe. One thing a small country town doesn’t lack: cafes.
Heads turn, eyes widen, and mouths start whispering. I didn’t think the way we were walking was going to give us away. Axel on her left, Maverick on her right, and me at her back. Violet is walking with her head held high like the fucking Queen she is. But then a thought crosses my mind.
I lean forward so only the three of them can hear me, “I think those nosey neighbours of our parents have been talking.”
Axel grunts. Maverick laughs. Violet rolls her eyes.
“Seventeen, little one.”
I don’t see or hear her response because James, the spineless fucker, is right in front of us, eyes widening as he takes us in. I can see the questions in his eyes, then it changes to anger. This is going to be interesting.
“I didn’t want to believe it.” James’ eyes bounce between the four of us.
“Believe what?” Axel steps forward to protect Violet.
James looks at Violet, “You dating all three of them like a common– “
My turn. “Don’t you fucking dare finish that.”
James noticeably swallows and takes a step back. Violet puts her hand on my forearm to stop me.
“You cheated on me, remember?”
“Your Mum called me. She’s worried about the choices you’re making.”
“She called you?”
“Yes, we chat occasionally.” His eyes dart around.
“Are you sleeping with my mother?” Violet chuckles intending the comment as a joke, but James starts to blush stumbling over his words, “What? No! What?”
“You look mighty guilty there, James.” If it’s true Dad is going to be heartbroken; he actually likes the witch.
“You cheated on me with Jessica, and maybe my Mum , and you’re worried about me? You disgust me. You are no better than the dirt beneath my feet. Now fuck off.”
“This might not be a great time, but is anyone else getting hard?” Maverick is always the one to keep the mood light.
“You’re not the only one.” Because watching Letty get fired up has my cock twitching.
We watch James scurry off before finding some seats and looking over the menu. I take this moment to mention my little idea.
“So, Letty, I’ve been thinking. The city.”
“I’m not asking you guys to uproot your lives here for me.”
“You’re not asking. I’m suggesting.”
Violet looks between all of us then behind us, at the others in the Cafe.
“Maybe.”
“You can finish your last semester online. I can get work remotely for now while I look for a new job and Axel will find a job easy enough. My only worry is Maverick.”
“What are you talking about? I own the shop, remember? I can get those knuckleheads to do the work and I’ll come back twice a week to make sure they haven’t burnt it the ground.”
“That’s a lot of driving.”
“Little one, it’s only a four-hour round trip. I can do it?—”
“But stil…-“
“I’d do anything so you’re happy. And I’ve been considering opening another shop, so the city could be it.”
“Plus, we wouldn’t be in the heart of the city, we’ll find a place just outside. Somewhere where the neighbours aren’t too close to hear you scream and beg.”
The guys laugh at my comment, but Violet worries her lip. Thinking everything over.
“You’ll be able to see Ivy more. The city has better pubs. Shopping. More job opportunities, and did I mention Ivy lives there?”
That makes her smile but then she looks at me sceptically. “What was said between you and my mum?”
Ah, clever. “Nothing” I shrug.
“Landon, you promised no more secrets.”
“I’m being serious: nothing. Well, nothing worth repeating. She said a few things and I shut it down.”
“Okay let’s move closer to the city.” Her smile is beaming. This is our future, us four in the city, living our best life.
“I’ll have to call Ivy.”
She is making lists, questions to ask Ivy, issues she has to go over with the uni, packing and moving. This goes all the way until we’re home again.
“Wait, you just had all your stuff delivered from your apartment in the city!”
“And it’s a good thing I never unpacked.” I walk past her swatting her ass.
Axel
I can’t help the small bubble of laughter that escapes me at Violet and her list-making. She has half a dozen and I’m not entirely sure what all of them are.
Getting a beer from the fridge and leaving her to it, I make my way to my room. I got to sort out a few things. And find a job, since we’re moving.
Not long into my job search, there is a knock at the door.
“Yeah?”
Violet’s head pops in through the crack. “Can I come in?”
“Of course you can, baby.”
“Just wanted to check on you. You slipped away earlier.”
“Needed to get the ball rolling on this job search.”
“Yeah, um sure ok.”
“Violet?” I say firmly there is something she isn’t saying.
“I just—you’re quiet compared to chatterbox and Landon.”
I laugh when she calls Maverick a chatterbox, because she’s not wrong.
She’s beaming at me, I look at her in confusion before she confesses, “I like your laugh.”
“Thank you. Anyway, as you were saying?”
“Yes right, I just wanted to check this is something you want? The move, me, this um, relationship?”
“Definitely. You have my heart, my soul, my very being. It’s all yours.”
Violet closes the gap by straddling me before whispering, “I love you, Axel, with every part of me.”
I freeze. She what? “What?”
“I love you.” Her smile could light the darkest of nights.
“Fuck baby, I love you too.” I grab her just under the thighs and flip her, so I am on top.
My girl, our girl. She loves me. You couldn’t wipe the smile off my face if you tried.
Well, that is until Landon and Maverick make their way into my room.
“God fucking dammit, can you not see we’re in the middle of something?”
“I think I’d rather put her in the middle of something.”
“You’re all insatiable.”
“We’re insatiable?” I quirk an eyebrow as her cheeks turn.
“I think it’s time for a little punishment first.” Maverick has a dirty little twinkle in his eye.
Violet lets out a little squeal from below me before burying her face into my chest, trying to hide from Maverick. It gives me pause. Do I play the helper, be her knight in shining armour or do I hand her over and relish in the way her ass will look once turned red from Maverick? I choose the latter.
Before she can process what is happening, I’m off her and giving her over to Maverick.
She squirms in his hold, but he holds her tighter and tells her, "This is happening, little one.”
“I know I know” and because she’s a brat at heart she rolls her eyes.
Maverick catches it of course. “Eighteen.”
In response, she grinds herself along Maverick. Yeah, the thought of being spanked gets her horny.
“Okay, but one thing—I know I doubted this, us. I’m glad I was wrong. I love you all. All three of you have my heart, so please don’t break it.”
The corner of my mouth twitches, as if I would let anything happen to her. Let alone letting her heart get broken.
“I’m still spanking that peachy little ass of yours.”
“Wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Maverick gently releases her, holding on to her until her feet are steady on the floor and then walks over to the bed. Sitting on the edge, he runs his eyes over her body. We watch her as she squirms under his gaze.
“Naked. Now.”
Two words. That’s all it takes for her to rub her thighs together. And because she woke up and chose brat, of course, she doesn’t.
I step up behind her, wrap my hand around her delicate neck, and squeeze while grinding my erection into her ass. “He told you to get naked.”
Her chest rises and falls as her breathing becomes shallower. She pushes her peachy ass back into me, causing me to groan a hum.
“Letty, I could break rock over here. Get naked so you can receive your punishment, because I plan on feeding your ass my cock while it still beams red.”
She moans at Landon’s words. I don’t release her throat yet; I love feeling her quickened pulse under my fingertips. Violet steps out of her pants and her arousal hits me.
“Fuck, I can smell you baby,” I let her throat go so she can get her top off.
“Come on little one, bra and panties too.”
This time, she obeys. “Good girl.”
“Now come over here and lay across my legs, so that beautiful ass is exposed.”
She seems nervous but does as she’s told.
“You’re dripping, are you that horny, or do you like the thought of getting spanked that much?”
She whimpers a moan in response.
“Eighteen. Nine each side. You’re going to take it all like the good girl, I know you can be. Each time my hand lands on your ass you’re going to count, do you understand?”
“Yes.”
And with that he pulls his hand back and lets it come down, connecting with her cheek.
Violet hisses at impact “One.”
The end.
