CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
MILES
M y teeth clench and my muscles strain as I let her set the pace. I watch her head bob in the mirror as her naked body kneels before me. It’s an image that will stay with me until my last dying breath.
I decide to see how far my little sinful angel will go. My fingers tighten in her hair as I guide her down my length. Her moan vibrating against my cock tells me she’s enjoying my dominance.
“I’m going to fuck this pretty mouth now,” I say through clenched teeth as I hit the back of her throat briefly. “Tap my leg if it becomes too much and you need me to stop.”
She tongues my ring again, and I almost fucking lose it. I’m on the brink of letting go, but I force myself to remain in control. I want to drag this out for as long as I can, and I’m not finished with her yet.
“I need to know you understand,” I grit out as her lips torture me some more.
She nods her head and digs her fingernails into my ass. Pain mixed with pleasure streaks through me, and that’s all the permission I need as I guide her roughly over my cock .
“You take me so fucking good,” I praise, moving my hips to fill her deep.
I feel her jaw relax as I hit the back of her throat again.
Her nails bite into me, and I welcome the pain.
I’m coated in her saliva as it drips onto me before hitting the floor.
I watch her naked body in the mirror as it moves to take me all in, and I feel myself tighten.
I plunge deep one more time, hitting the back of her throat as I release on a loud roar. My body pulses as I shoot down her throat over and over again. I feel her throat swallow every last drop as she eagerly takes what I have to offer.
Sweat beads down my chest as I breathe heavily from the aftershocks. She continues to suck me until I have nothing left to give. I feel her tongue swirl over my ring one last time before she releases me with a pop.
I peer down at her through hooded eyes as she wipes the corner of her mouth. Her dimples appear as a smug smile crosses her features.
I haul her up and swipe my tongue across her bottom lip, tasting myself on her. Nothing has ever looked so good as her lips coated with my cum.
“We’re even,” I grin. “Your note was higher, but I was louder.” She giggles and wraps her arms around my neck. “God, that was fucking amazing, Liv,” I breathe against her neck. “I wasn’t too rough, was I? I’m pretty sure I blacked out at some point and lost some of my control.”
“No,” she shakes her head against my chest. “It was perfect. You are perfect,” she softly adds.
“Look at me,” I lift her chin with my finger until our eyes meet. Her big hazel eyes hold everything I want to see. She’s letting me in, and I know she’s feeling this strong connection between us that has nothing to do with sex.
“I meant every word I said earlier. I don’t want to share you. I know we are still figuring things out, but I want you to know that I’m not sharing myself with anyone else either. Since the day we met, I haven’t even looked at another woman. You don’t ever have to worry about that with me.”
Her eyes search mine, and I hope she sees the truth in them. I’ve been holding back with what I’ve been feeling for fear of scaring her off, but I can at least give her this.
She nods her head, and I feel relief when I see the trust in her eyes.
“I decided to trust you before I came here tonight. I had a talk with Gizmo, and he assured me you were a good guy. Thank you, though, for being honest and telling me that.”
“You had a talk with Gizmo, and he told you I was a good guy?” I raise my eyebrow and question her sanity.
“I know it sounds crazy,” she laughs, “but I was talking to him, and he barked right when I asked him a question, and then, I swear to God, I saw him smile at me.”
“You heard the bark?” I chuckle. “God, it’s awful. I’ve seen that creepy smile, too.” I shiver, and she giggles.
“Once you hear it, it can never be unheard.”
“Trust me, I know,” I laugh.
“Where is he anyway? I haven’t seen him since I got here.” She looks around to try to spot him before turning back to me.
“He’s got a bed in my office. Whenever I bring him here, he goes right to it for his usual napping that he loves to do. So…to swing back around to the whole not sharing part,” I say, fixing my pants and stepping closer to her. “Is there anything that you want to add?”
I was hoping that when I offered her that bit of information about myself, she would ease my mind a bit about her situation. I know she doesn’t sleep around because of what she told me about her past, but I hate not knowing if there is someone in the picture that she could possibly be talking to.
“Hmmm,” she taps her lip and looks to be deep in thought. “ Nothing I can think of.” Her lip twitches, and my eyes narrow at her.
“Nothing comes to mind? Nothing you want to confess or get off your chest?” God, I feel pathetic. I’ve never not been in control or felt this vulnerable before.
“Is there something you would like to ask me?” Her eyes dance with laughter, and I have no doubt she’s letting me squirm a bit.
“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”
“Immensely,” she grins. “Is this the first time the elusive Miles Montgomery doesn’t hold the reins?”
“I’m still holding them, honey,” I smirk. “I just want to make sure there’s only two of us on the horse, and nobody needs thrown off.”
“You are really cute when you’re jealou…” I don’t let her finish as I sling her over my shoulder in one movement. “What are you doing?” She shrieks. “Put me down!”
“Not until you tell me what I want to know.” I rub my hand over her bare ass before I smack it.
“Are you spanking me?” Her voice sounds shocked as I rub the red mark that has nicely appeared on her cheek.
“I am, and I’m enjoying it immensely ,” I say, throwing her words back at her before slapping the other one.
“I am too, so your little plan isn’t working.” She wiggles in my arms and juts her ass in the air for more, begging for another round.
“Jesus,” I chuckle. “I should have known you would enjoy it. That’s good to know for future reference. Until then, I guess I will resort to the tried and true of getting information out of someone.”
“Which is?”
“Tickling,” I say, attacking her ribs. She squirms and laughs out loud as my fingers find all the sweet spots. “Good to know you’re ticklish too,” I grin, “for when I need something else out of you.”
“Miles, stop!” She giggles and tries to get away, but I hold her firmly over my shoulder with one arm.
“All you have to do is tell me what I want to hear, and I’ll stop.”
“Okay, okay,” she laughs. I stop tickling her and grin at my victory. “You are the only one I’m seeing or talking to. No one has even touched me since I met you. I have no desire to even look elsewhere,” she says, out of breath.
My grin gets wider as I set her down. It’s exactly what I wanted to hear, and I feel the tension leave my body.
“Happy now?” She puts her hands on her hips and tries to look mad, but the light in her eyes gives her away. She’s having too much fun with this.
“Very,” I grin widely. “Glad we are on the same page.”
The outside door opens, and sunlight streams in. Olivia is ducking under the bar before I can blink an eye.
I see my sister walk in and I smile. This is going to be fun.
“Hey sis, I didn’t expect you for another hour or two.” My lips twitch when I glance down and see a hand reach out to swipe the thong off the floor.
“My procedure got done earlier than expected,” she says, walking over. “Everything looks amazing.” She looks around before stopping on the other side of the bar. “Ready for opening night?”
“Just about,” I say, crossing my arms across my chest as I sneak a peek at Olivia struggling to get her dress back on. She catches my eye and glares at me. I can’t help the laugh that escapes as I rub my jaw to try and hide it.
“Why are you acting all weird?” Savi asks, peering at me. “And why don’t you have a shirt on?”
“I got hot,” I shrug, trying not to laugh .
Something catches Savi’s eye, and she disappears out of sight as she leans down. Standing back up, she has a pink bra dangling from her finger.
“Whose is this? I thought you liked Olivia?” She paces as her face fumes with anger. “What the hell, Miles! Don’t expect me for one second to lie for you. She’s my friend now, and I’m so pissed at you for thinking with your dick instead of your heart. I expected better from you.”
Her eyes burn into me with a fire only Savi can give out.
“Are you done?” I ask calmly.
“No. I really want to yell some more and kick you in the balls,” she huffs, putting her hands on her hips. “Where is she?” She looks around for the owner of the bra. “Is she still here? I bet she’s already left in an Uber that you so graciously put them in.”
“I think you’ve said enough,” I tell her, grabbing my t-shirt from the floor and throwing it on.
“Are you done with Olivia then? I really like her. She was good for you,” she pouts.
“I really like you, too,” Olivia says, popping up from behind the bar.
Savi’s eyes go wide as she covers her mouth to stifle a laugh.
“Thanks for having my back,” Olivia smiles. “It’s nice to know you would have kicked him in the balls for me.”
“Anytime,” Savi grins. She notices the bra in her hand and holds it out to Olivia. “This must be yours. I love the pink color and the design.”
“Thanks,” Olivia grins, taking it from her. “I got it at this cute boutique in Chicago. I can send you the link if you want.”
“Well, if you two are done with your girl bonding, can we address the fact that you thought so low of me to think I would do that to Olivia?” I glare at my sister, and she smiles sheepishly.
“I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion too fast. I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have assumed you went back to your old habits.”
“For the love of God, this is a completely different situation. I would never take someone to dinner and bring them muffins only to turn around and fuck a complete stranger behind their back. That’s a dick move, and you know I’m not that guy.”
“You brought her muffins?” Savi’s eyes light up, and she turns to Olivia, who nods her head.
“He came over this morning and brought Bee her favorite kind from Lyla’s bakery.”
“Oh my God. That’s the sweetest thing ever.” She lays her hand on her heart and beams at me.
“Yeah, not too bad for a guy who has old habits,” I mutter. I know I’m probably overreacting, but knowing what Olivia’s ex did to her, and knowing we have a somewhat similar past, I hate feeling like I’m lumped into the same category as him.
Savi’s eyes soften as she comes around the bar and hugs me around the waist.
“I’m really sorry that I thought that of you. I reacted before I really thought it through. I know you would never do something like that to Olivia. You’re too honest a guy for that to happen.” She squeezes me tight, and some of my anger melts away.
“I forgive you,” I sigh. “It’s not like I can be mad at you for very long, anyway.
” She looks up and grins, and I have no choice but to smile back.
She’s always had a special place in my heart, and she knows it.
“Besides, it makes me happy that you would stick up for Olivia like that even though you were dead ass wrong,” I add. “I like knowing she can count on you.”
“Of course she can,” Savi winks at her. “We’re practically besties now after we bonded over our love of wine last night.”
“Yes, we did,” Olivia laughs. “Wait until you see what I talked Miles into getting for opening night. The order just came in, and I’m about to unload the bottles. ”
“Ooh, I can’t wait! I’ll help you,” she says excitedly. “Maybe we should try one out while we work,” she grins.
“As long as Miles doesn’t mind us getting into his stash early.” Olivia looks at me with those eyes and dimples, and there’s no way in hell I’m denying her anything.
“The wine is all yours, girls. Just save enough for the paying customers, and I’ll be good. It’s in the back, ready to go.” I walk to the crate sitting on the bar and start taking out the liquor bottles.
“You’re the best,” Savi grins, heading toward the back room.
Olivia walks over and wraps her arms around my waist.
“What’s this for?” I chuckle as my arms automatically hug her back.
“Just for being the guy I had hoped you would be.”
“I’ll always be that guy for you,” I say softly, kissing the top of her head.
“Thank you,” she whispers before getting on tiptoes and kissing my lips. She pulls back after a quick peck, but I bring her back to me.
“One more,” I breathe, capturing her lips with mine and giving us both something to hang onto until later.
