Chapter 17
Honesty
Axel
Scarlett's beautiful. Her hair is messy, and her pajamas don't match, but I can't stop staring at her. She's getting to me, and my heads a clusterfuck. “Want to work on our homework together?”
“I do, actually. After our conversation.” Her smile brightens when she sees my answering wince.
“Okay.” A distraction is in order. Taking her foot in my hand, I begin to massage her heels. She moans, making me smile.
Smiling was not the most intelligent decision. She takes her foot back. “Distracting me is out of the question. We will talk first. Then I do deserve a foot rub. My day was very stressful.”
Rolling my eyes but loving the fact that she just called me out on my shit. “Okay. Fire away.”
“You skated around my question. Why did you tell Brody that lie? And remember only complete honesty.” She's cute when she's being bossy and thinks she's in charge.
My signature smirk is firmly on display. “Well, I don't like him sniffing around you. He said no and hurt you, but I think he's changed his mind.”
Her brows furrow. “What makes you think that?”
My pulse races with worry, but I won't lie to her. “He told me this morning that he decided not to transfer out of here because of you.”
“He what? Why?” She shakes her head in confusion.
I growl. “I don't know. Do you want him? If you do, let me know now.”
She takes her time answering while I hold my breath.
“No. Not anymore. And I know we started this whole fake dating fiasco to teach him a lesson, and I'm still for that, but at the end of the day, he's still my friend, Axel.” We're no longer participating in the fake trope thing.
If there is a real dating trope, then we're there.
She's not ready to believe that, but all in due time. I don’t say anything in return.
“Scarlett, I don't always do the right thing. I'm hot-headed, and I will stop at nothing to protect what's mine. You said you didn't want him. If you had, I would have walked away. It's settled.”
“You do realize we have an expiration date? Don't you think you're taking it too far for something that won't last forever?” She's flabbergasted and it's cute. I grin but don’t say anything else, so she continues. “You know, today we reached a new trope in our relationship.”
Intriguing. “I'm all ears.” Maybe I need to read some more of her books on that shelf over there.
“Me not knowing what was happening while I was at work with the Fearless Insta because of your big mouth is called the miscommunication trope, and nobody likes that one.” She mouths nobody again. Very dramatically. Scarlett really does need that spanking.
“No miscommunication, sweetie, we are living together.” Surprisingly, that doesn't make me want to throw up.
She throws a pillow at my head and doesn't miss it. I never saw it coming. “You're infuriating. By the way, did you make any return phone calls?”
I throw the pillow back at her, making her laugh. “No, I did not.” My face turns sheepish. “I honestly can't remember who they are or if I've slept with them.”
She laughs even louder than before. “That is so rude.”
Picking my phone back up, I pretend to scroll. “Do you want me to text them and find out?”
She gives me a go-to-hell look. Jealousy looks good on her.
Nice to know it's not just one-sided. “You do you.” Calling her bluff, I click the call button and put it on speaker.
She jumps up, walks out of her bedroom, and slams the door.
Damn. She is pissed. It's time she's honest about how she feels, so running after her with my phone still on speaker is confronting the problem.
Toby answers and I see Scarlett come to a standstill.
“Rabies, why are you calling me? We are literally in the same place.”
My smile is big when I say, “I just needed to prove something to Scarlett.”
He answers in a good to your point way, “Okay?”
“Thanks for helping. Talk to you later.” I hang up because my point has been made.
Scarlett turns on me, her pretty face red with anger. She raises her hands up in the air due to her frustration. “What the hell were you trying to prove to me, Axel? That you're an asshole?! Honey, I already knew that.”
Leaning against the wall, staring back at her in awe, I give as good as I get. “Scarlett, honey, your jealousy's showing.”
If I thought she was mad before, let's just say that wasn't the case. “Get. Out.”
My cock twitches. “Make me.”
She takes her truck keys off the table. “Fine, don't leave. Maybe I'll go stay over at Brody's until you do.”
What the fuck did she just say? My vision turns red, and before I know what's happening, she's pinned up against the front door, and I'm hovering over her like a lunatic, holding her plush body against mine. My jaw is so clenched it's starting to get sore. “Do it. I dare you.”
She trembles against me but is brave enough to use my words against me. “Axel, honey, your jealousy's showing.”
And. “Never tried to hide it.”
She looks at me like I'm an idiot, and no contest because she turns me that way when she talks about McDouche. “But why, Axel? You're confusing the hell out of me. Maybe we should stop this.”
Panic seizes in my chest. No. She can't leave me.
I crush my mouth to hers. She resists for a moment but gives in to my need.
Our kisses are so forceful that by the time we separate, our lips are almost bruised.
The fire is still in her eyes, and I know I need to come clean about my feelings.
“I want you, Scarlett, only you. And I'm done with the whole faking idea. It's real to me.”
She says nothing for a long moment. Her eyes soften along with the tone in her voice. Our breathing is still somewhat ragged. “Okay.”
“Is that all you have to say after I poured my heart out?” I need more.
She looks away. She's hiding, but she doesn't have to do that with me. Taking her chin in my hand, I return her eyes to mine. “I never wanted it to be fake in the first place, Axel.”
“Good, because neither did I.” Finally, my heart can get out of my throat.
My pulse kicks up when her eyes darken. To her surprise, I pick her up and take her legs, wrapping them around my waist. She leans in and brings her lips back to mine.
I've always loved kissing and foreplay, but with Scarlett, it's different.
Better. Amazing. Addictive. I can't get enough.
A fire is burning between us that can't be quenched.
She moans when I rub my cock against her core.
Fuck me. Literally. A cough startles us both, making me drop her on her ass.
I'm shocked, she's laughing, and Toby is trying his best not to.
He is going to die today. Helping my lady up first, I rub her plush ass to take away any harm that was done to it.
Turning around to find Toby running back toward his room is satisfying.
Scarlett grabs my arm. “Leave him alone. He just wanted to get our attention.”
I whine. Creeds don't whine. It's official. I'm a pussy. “But he made me hurt you.”
She shivers. “I was always told that instead of rubbing something better, you should kiss it instead.” My cock springs forth. She has such a nice big ass. I get on my knees and begin to turn her around. She stops me with a squeal. “Not here, crazy!”
I laugh. “Why? Toby won't come out again until after we're done.”
Her eyes widen. “This is a public area, and everyone is home. That's why.”
Bending my nose to the apex of her thighs, I inhale the alluring scent of her arousal. “Seems like your pussy doesn't care that this is a public area.” She makes a strangled noise. I smirk and begin pulling her shorts down. Her panties are next. “Fuck. You smell so good, Wallflower.”
Her voice is raspy, clouded with her need. “Please, Ax.”
Besides Rabies, I've never had a nickname before.
I love it. She's getting extra orgasms tonight.
“Spread your legs. I'm hungry.” Lust takes over my mind.
She's dripping down her legs, and my tongue laps that up first. “Such a pretty little cunt.” My mouth finds her clit next, and I suckle her sweetness, the gasps that fall from her pouty lips are almost my undoing.
She's close now and sticking the edge of my tongue inside her is what throws her over—her scream crescendos throughout the entryway.
Scarlett will be embarrassed later, but I'm not.
Because now they know without a shadow of a doubt that she's mine.
I've held back until now. If she thinks I was overbearing before, she won't love the obsessive asshole that's to come.
Because she's mine, and I can't lose her.
***
I am still wrapping my head around the fact that Axel feels the same way about me that I do him. And him being honest about it means so much to me. I keep waiting for something to come around and mess it up, but you can't live your life in fear.
-Scarlett
“Axel, please, I want to taste you.” I fall on my knees before him. The look on his face is almost revenant. He stands, and the outline of his impressive cock is begging to be let out. I rub the seam of his shorts with my palm, and he hisses his pleasure.
His eyes are dark caramel, and his voice is commanding.
He's different, more possessive. “Take my cock out, and suck the tip, Red. Now.” My mouth waters.
His dick is girthy and long. Bigger than Blaze's or anyone I've given a blow job to.
It's a little intimidating up so close to my face but backing down is not going to happen.
Axel pulls my hair, causing me to look up at his towering frame.
His eyes almost shine from lust. “Fucking now, Scarlett.” Okay, Mr. Sexy Rabies, sir.
If I had been wet before, the sprinklers have been turned on now.
Leaning forward, I lick the precum off of the tip of his shaft, making him growl.
My inner submissive bitch howls because she's pleased him.
While his dominance craves control, she wants praise and acceptance.
Wetting my lips, I slide his cock in my mouth.
Placing my hand firmly at the base and beginning to move proves difficult because of his size.
He moans my name, and I greedily quicken the pace.
Axel's hand slides into my hair, and he pushes himself into my mouth further.
He gasps. “Take it all in, Scarlett, take it all in that pretty little mouth. Please.” My heartbeat quickens in excitement as he sets a grueling pace.
My eyes begin to water, and every time I gag, he bellows his praise.
“I'm close. You better fucking swallow it all.” He explodes, and the warm liquid shoots down my throat.
I take every bit and whimper with delight.
He pulls me up and holds me, slapping my ass hard in the process.
His voice is raspy with desire. “Nobody has ever been able to take it all. Good fucking girl.”
