Chapter 21
Barun
“How long are you going to pout?” Gio asked me lazily, sipping his beer. The Falcone brothers looked amused at Gio’s observation and my resulting glare. The four of us were having a poker night with some beer and chips.
“None of your fucking business,” I snapped, shoving some chips in my mouth.
“Translates to ‘I am still in the doghouse’,” Rhett smirked, making me wish I could punch him and get away with it.
“Ten days seems like a long time,” Noah mused, sipping his beer thoughtfully. “Knowing my sister, she is holding on for a specific reason. Hmm! What did you do? Or not?”
“Short of groveling, everything else,” I muttered, staring moodily at the board.
“Did you try apologizing?” Noah asked me dryly, seemingly exasperated with all the drama. I couldn’t blame him. The girls were all ignoring me, clearly on Katy’s side. Although Izzy sneaked some ginger cookies into my room. With the clear divide, the men weren’t too happy.
“I… tried to do that with jewellery that I handpicked. I added a heartfelt note, too.”
Rhett snorted. “Really? Expensive gifts?”
“You sound like your sister. She had the same reaction to my gift.” I drowned all the remaining beer in my bottle, annoyed with the entire situation.
“Newsflash, jackass, my sister is a badass who can get her own jewellery or anything else she wants. All she wants from you is your trust. Through an apology. Ever heard of the word ‘sorry’?”
“Newsflash, asshole, I am in this position thanks to you and your brother here. I wasn’t the one who wanted to lie to her, remember?”
Noah shrugged while Rhett sniggered. “But we aren’t the ones she’s mad at, isn’t it? We both made peace with her one whole week ago.” Rhett answered in a voice that set my blood pounding.
“I’m done here.” Getting up from the table, I walked up to my room, my heart aching for one golden girl who had the power to break my heart. Coming up with a sudden plan, I messaged Izzy, hoping she’d help me.
Ten minutes later, when I was added to a group named “Project Happily Ever After”, I knew I had the blessings of the ladies. Smiling, I finally understood why men like my half-brother and the Falcones, who didn’t hesitate to kill, were putty with their women.
???
I placed the warm food on the table, ready to serve, after ensuring the table was set right. Dressed in a black shirt and slacks, I brushed my hair away from my forehead. I’d taken the entire day to plan this dinner, coming over to the farmhouse the Falcones owned.
The ladies helped me plan this entire thing, ensuring Katy would arrive at seven for a ‘ladies' night’ at the farmhouse. Right on time, I heard the purr of a car engine before it was cut off. Bracing myself, I lit the candles, switching off the harsher white lights to create a romantic atmosphere.
With a large handbag over her shoulder, Katy walked in, her hips swaying gently. My beautiful girl appeared stunning, though there was a hint of melancholy in her expression. Her silky hair was loose, just the way I liked it, and she was wearing shorts and a white cropped shirt.
I noticed her first, taking my time to feast on her.
My eyes moved from her crown, slowly taking in her sinful curves, finally resting on her feet.
A shot of desire flamed through my veins at the sight of the sexiest-looking boots with heels that were meant for fucking.
Hell yeah! Adjusting my hard-on, I focused on getting to the evening first.
“Welcome, Princess.”
Katy’s eyes widened, and she finally noticed me standing in a cozy corner where I’d set the table for two. Her eyes darted around, clearly not expecting me to be here.
“Where is Alia? What about Jasmine and Izzy?” She frowned, placing her bag on the dark green couch. Her mouth parted, and she blinked. “They aren’t coming, are they?” She caught on to the plan at last.
“Katy,” I called her softly, making her stop. “Come here.” When she hesitated, I added. “Please.”
It took an agonizing few seconds for her to strut over. That’s when she looked at the table, noticing her favorite meal already laid out on beautiful china.
“I’m sorry, Princess,” I said at last, finally realizing this is what I should have done first.
She placed a hand on her heart, looking at me with wide, hopeful eyes. “Tell me you mean that,” she whispered.
“I do, and I’m sorry I didn’t trust you with information that should never have been denied to you in the first place. I promise it won't happen again.”
Tears shone in her eyes and she swallowed.
“Don’t cry, baby. Please! I hate to be the cause of your tears.” It killed me to see her upset.
She smiled through her tears, finally making my heart bloom with hope. “What if they are tears of relief and frustration?”
“What?” I watched in confusion.
“All these days of watching you flaunt your abs and strut around in your grey sweatpants, it’s a miracle I haven’t died of frustration yet.” She giggled softly.
Before she realized what was happening, I lifted her and spun around in circles, making my beautiful girl squeal and laugh. Lowering her slowly, inch by inch, I deliberately let her body brush mine, loving the hiss that shot out of her mouth when she brushed my hard length.
Grabbing a handful of hair, I raised her face, grinding my lips on hers. Bliss! After days of yearning, waiting, and wanting, I had Katy in my arms. Where she belonged. I growled, tightening my fingers in her hair, feeling all my needs bubble up at once.
“Barun,” she moaned, unknowingly beckoning the beast in me.
“Say my name once more like that and I’ll fuck you right here and now.”
“Barun,” she repeated softly, running her tongue over her lips.
“You asked for it.” I snarled, pushing her against the wall. In a calculated move, I caught her wrists with one of my hands, pushing them above her head. Done with gentleness, I kissed her hard, swallowing her gasp in my mouth.
Stepping closer, my hips ground over hers, cherishing her soft whimper. Yes! I wanted her every breath, every moan, and every shiver. Every orgasm of hers belonged to me. I owned her and her pleasure. At last, I could freely love her.
Growling like a maniac, I dropped to her knees abruptly. Her eyes widened in surprise even as I pulled her shorts and the satiny undergarment with one pull. Throwing them behind me, I stared at her pink folds, dying for another taste.
“Oh, Barun…” her breathy whisper flamed my desire, making me bend to her bare, glistening folds.
Using my mouth and tongue, I sucked her clit and tasted her lips over and over again, until her hips moved in a rhythm that matched my mouth.
Before long, Katy shuddered, her orgasm taking over unexpectedly.
Strangely, I was disappointed that she’d come so quickly. Wanting to see her in the throes of another orgasm, I stood up and undid my belt. The clink of the buckle made her shiver. She looked at me with a mix of awe and desire, wanting more and wanting the unknown.
“You’re mine, Katy. I’ll fucking kill anyone who dares to take you away from me from this moment on.” I caught her chin in my hand and looked into her eyes, meaning every word that I uttered.
“I love you,” she whispered, making me freeze. With a tortured groan, I kissed her hard.
“Love you too, Princess. Love is too tame a word for what I feel. I am obsessed with you, and I want you until my last breath.” I muttered fervently, tripping over my words.
Lowering my zipper, I took out my dick and rubbed it back and forth against her center. Her head hit the wall, making her eyes roll back in pleasure. With a curse, I entered her in a single thrust, catching one of her legs and wrapping it around my hip.
A high cry left her lips when my move made me enter deeper. “Feel me within you. You were made for me, Princess. Only me,” I panted, kissing and biting her.
I watched her desperately trying to hold on to something as I increased my pace.
“Hold me,” I commanded, making her eyes open.
When she clutched my shoulders, I grunted in approval before driving into her channel again and again.
Within minutes, I was moving hard and fast, until I felt her flutter against me.
Ripping off her shirt in a furious move, I bit the swell of her breast, making her convulse in pleasure. Her pained whimper combined with my short cry as we both leaned against each other, spent and utterly satisfied.
After a few minutes, I wrapped her in a blanket and cuddled with her on the couch. She looked at me strangely. “My brothers?”
I gave her a sheepish smile and shrugged. “I told them I was going to make you mine.”
She raised an eyebrow and grinned. “Took you long enough.”
“I wouldn’t have given you up for anything, Princess.”
“Well, I hope not. Another week, and I would have seduced you. Good thing you came to your senses and apologized before that.” She replied tartly, making me laugh.
Cuddling her tighter, I realized I had been waiting for this all my life. Katy. Her sass and her brilliant mind. And a beautiful future with her. Thanking the universe that put me in her path, I vowed I’d cherish her forever.
