28. Max #2
I wasn’t coming to take her from them. I was here, on my knees, trying to join their family. I wanted that family so badly.
“I want to taste you,” I said softly while I held her legs and gazed up at her. The fire framed her hair like a golden crown, and she had never felt more like my queen.
Her voice trembled. “You’re on your knees, aren’t you?”
“Sit, hanii,” Ryuji said while gently patting the space on the couch next to him. “He can spread your legs here.”
My eyes widened at his invitation. Was that his…approval? Or was this a test?
“Why?” I asked. “You…hate me.”
He rolled his eyes. “I don’t know. Maybe I’m feeling generous. Maybe you saved my life tonight, and I’m just returning the favor.”
He seemed like he was telling the truth, but it didn’t matter. I wanted her either way. She looked down at me, a question in her eyes, and I nodded vehemently. A moment later she was on the couch, and I was still on my knees.
“Crawl to her,” Ryuji said, propping one arm up on the side of the couch. His head tilted to the side. I looked around at all of them, and they all seemed to say the same thing. When my eyes caught on Cas, he jerked his head in a nod.
“Go on,” Wynn said softly. “Crawl. Earn it.”
“Show us what you want,” Ciel added. The shy hacker leaned forward in the chair behind me, bracing his forearms on his knees, but he didn’t look at me. He looked at her.
I locked eyes with Obi. His face was unreadable. “If this is what she wants, prove that you deserve it.”
I turned back around to find her eyes blazing with lust. Her thighs pressed together, blocking my view of her, but I needed to get between them. I needed to taste and worship at her altar.
So I did as they asked.
I crawled on hands and knees closer to the couch.
My hands landed on her calves. “Lean back.”
She relaxed slightly, and I pushed her thighs wider. I kissed up her leg, from her ankle to her shin to her knee to her upper thigh. I pushed her wider, eyes locked on hers the entire time. Her chest rattled with heavy breaths, and every inch of skin I could see flushed with need.
She wanted me. Wanted this.
But not as much as I did.
With my palms on her knees, I spread her legs just so I could stare at her.
A groan ripped from my throat. Butterflies swirled in my stomach while I let my hands trail over her upper thighs until I reached her entrance.
She whimpered when I dragged a finger through her.
I leaned forward, pressing a kiss to the divot where her leg met her core.
And then my mouth was on her.
How does one describe something they’d never even let themselves dream about? How was my brain supposed to process her taste, her warmth, when I’d sworn I could never have her?
The only things keeping me grounded were the puffs of breath, the flutter of her muscles, and the soft, strangled sounds coming from her chest. My tongue dragged through her and circled her clit. Her hands snarled in my hair. I thought I was going to die.
All I could think about was driving her to the same madness she drove me.
Her eyes blazed with lust and her cheeks stained pink. When I sucked on her clit and pushed a finger inside her, her eyes rolled back and she moaned my name.
I was two seconds away from coming in my pants like a teenager, but not before I’d made her writhe on my fingers and scream my name. Finally, my name.
Our lives had been twisted together since the day we were born. Now, here we were, and everything was right. For the first time in ten years, everything was right. I lapped at her like a starved man, because that’s exactly what I was without her. An empty, purposeless husk.
“Hanii.” Ryuji cupped her cheek, drew her head to the side, and kissed her hard. I froze, watching his tongue dart inside her mouth, watching her lean into him while spread wide for me, while a bolt of heady desire ricocheted through my body.
My cock was fucking hard as rock, but my brain stuttered to a stop.
“Don’t stop,” Leona whimpered against his lips. “Max, please. I’m so close.”
Her breathy, desperate gasps were like a shock to my system, setting everything back in motion.
I leaned back into her, burying my face between her legs.
My thumb rubbed slow circles around her clit while my tongue plunged inside her.
She arched her back, letting Ryuji pull her chest closer to him at the same time he rubbed her nipples over Wynn’s shirt—and everything felt like it came into crystal clear focus.
I understood.
I understood what this was like. What Cas meant. What it felt like to see her worshipped by them at the same time as me.
That was what she deserved. All of us, devoted, sharing in our pleasure and hers.
God, it was the most intoxicating feeling.
“Max,” she whined. She sucked in a sharp breath, screwed her eyes shut, and held onto Ryuji for dear life. Her pussy fluttered around my fingers and tongue while her orgasm tore through her.
It pushed me over the edge. I couldn’t stop myself from coming with a groan while I lapped up as much of her as I could. I couldn’t even be embarrassed about it because what man in their right mind wouldn’t have come in their pants at the sight of her?
She gazed down at me through lidded eyes, and the truth shot through me, cementing into my body.
My place was, and always had been, at my knees in front of her.
