75. Max
MAX
Icarried Leona over the threshold into the house. Her legs wrapped around my waist while I kissed the fucking life out of her. The entire drive, the guys and I had been kissing her, teasing her, driving her as crazy as we could. But now we’d made it.
Home. My home. It had been too fucking long since I’d set foot inside this house, but I wouldn’t change what I’d chosen for the world. She was safe. She was happy. The guys were alive. That was all that mattered to me.
Balloons and a giant Welcome Home! sign hung from the kitchen ceiling. I grinned when Wynn, Cas, Ciel, Ryu, and Obi held up some poppers and they exploded confetti and streamers.
“Thanks, everyone.” I didn’t think I’d ever smiled as widely. “This means a lot. I’m glad to be home.”
Cas clasped my shoulder. “We missed you.”
Leona nudged my nose. “Best birthday ever.”
I set her on the counter before I went any further into the house. “What about a party? I want to celebrate you.”
“We got a cake for tonight,” Cas said with a smile. “But we’re welcoming you home first.”
“I don’t need a big party,” she added. Her eyes twinkled with mischief. “My last birthday didn’t go so great, if you remember.”
“I’m sorry—”
“Don’t,” she laughed. “I’ll have a big blowout party next year. This year, I’d prefer to stay in and enjoy some quality time with my men.”
Quality time sounded excellent to me. My hands trailed over her thighs as I pressed a few more kisses to her neck. The other guys gave us space, for which I was grateful.
“I want to fuck you so badly, but I need a shower,” I murmured against her lips. I inhaled deeply, breathing the scent of her into my lungs. God, I’d missed her. So fucking much. Emotion choked my throat while I buried my face against her neck.
“I get it. Hurry,” she urged while her fingers dragged through my hair. “I’ll be waiting.”
She tried to disentangle herself, but I held her tight against my chest.
“I don’t want to let go.”
She laughed lightly. What a magical sound. “Go.”
I gave her one last kiss before I took two steps at a time up the stairs until I made it to my room.
Just in case Ryu had left the claymore there, I entered it carefully.
Thankfully, I didn’t get blown up, but I was not going to waste time searching for a fucking grenade.
I showered as thoroughly and as quickly as I could, scrubbing off eight months’ worth of prison from my skin.
I hopped out, quickly dried myself off, and then pulled on a pair of athletic shorts.
I was back downstairs within fifteen minutes.
They were still in the kitchen, chatting and laughing. Leona’s wide grin was contagious. I beelined toward her, picked her up again, and plastered my mouth to hers. She squeaked in surprise before she completely melted against me.
“Feel better?” Cas asked, one arm around Ryu’s shoulders.
“Yes,” I said against her lips. “Ryu, do I need to find that grenade or can I fuck our girl now? I’ve been waiting a very long time.”
Ryu laughed. “I’ll take care of the grenade. You get to fucking so we can all join in. The big bed awaits.”
It did. They rearranged the living room to make room for the two giant mattresses and tons of pillows and blankets.
At first, the idea of this thing was a little strange to me.
But after sleeping on it the last time, I was sold.
Cas had been right. They made room, and I fit perfectly within it. I would always be thankful.
“I missed this thing, too,” I said as I carried her over and laid her on it. She was smiling as she stretched out, arms over her head, and I paused for just a moment to take her in.
She was my peace.
We’d made it. We’d survived and won, and she had forgiven me. I was getting closer to forgiving myself, but I wouldn’t ever stop thanking her for this life. She had saved me, brought me back from the brink, and made me feel again.
But I wouldn’t waste one more second without my mouth on her pussy.
I pulled off her jeans and tossed them to the side. Then I braced one hand on her stomach to keep her flat while I dragged my nose over her underwear. “You smell so good.”
My teeth nipped her pubic bone before I dragged her panties down with my mouth. I pulled them the rest of the way off and caught sight of something new.
“What is this?” My eyes locked on the sparkling gem at her ass.
Her cheeks went beet red. “It’s a butt plug.”
My heart was about to beat out of my chest. “A butt plug?”
“I wanted to be ready.” Her teeth dragged on her bottom lip while her eyes burned with heat. “For you. For everyone.”
“Did you guys know about this?” I asked everyone.
Cas grinned. “She may have been practicing wearing them for the last few months.”
I buried my face against her. “God, you’re so perfect.
I’ve fucking missed you.” My tongue dragged through her folds.
Her legs widened to make space for me. My palms went to the back of her thighs to spread her even wider.
I groaned as her taste settled on my tongue. “I’ve dreamed of this so many times.”
“So has she,” Ryu said from his position on the couch, watching us. The rest of the guys had gathered around. I grinned. I wanted her first, but I couldn’t wait until they joined in.
“Oh, really?”
My mouth closed over her clit and I sucked. Her gasp was music to my fucking ears.
“Really,” Ryu continued. “Every time we’ve fucked her, she’s said she couldn’t wait for you to make her come again.”
I let out a choked sound as I dragged my tongue through her entrance. I spread her even wider so I could plunge my tongue inside her.
“She said she’s missed your piercing,” Ciel quipped.
I laughed against her pussy. “She’ll have it.”
“I’m getting pierced next week,” Ryu said, tilting his head to the side. “I wanted to get through the marathon sex session of your return first. Then I can take a break and let it heal.”
“Of course you are,” I scoffed. “Couldn’t let me have just one fucking thing for myself. Jealous bastard.”
Her hands fisted in my hair, dragging my face back to her. I swirled my tongue around her clit while I pushed two fingers inside, and she moaned.
“Max.”
“That’s right, anima mia,” I said while my eyes flicked up to look at her.
Her cheeks flushed such a beautiful pink color.
I pumped my fingers inside her, and her thighs tightened around my head.
Her head tilted back while I pressed soft kisses to the inside of her thigh. “I want you to come for me.”
“Right there,” she breathed, eyes locked on mine. “Don’t stop, Max.”
“Never,” I said as I ducked my head again. My teeth dragged over her clit for just a second before I licked it exactly the way she liked. She squirmed, rolling her hips against my face, trying to get the right amount of friction.
“Give her three fingers,” Obi said from somewhere behind me. “She’s ready.”
I did what he said, and she cried out, her walls already rippling.
Her hand tugged at my hair. God, I missed those little pinpricks of pain more than I realized.
When my mouth latched onto her clit again, she shattered.
Her cries were high and tight, echoing through the living room as she rode out her orgasm against my face.
Her eyes blinked open. “Max—”
I pulled my aching cock from my shorts and immediately lined myself up to her pussy. I didn’t wait; I thrust fully inside her in one fast motion. Her back arched from the bed while a groan tore from my chest. “Fuck!”
She reached for me, and I folded myself over her body.
Our lips met in a tangle, both of us too desperate for this to wait any longer.
I wanted to go slowly. I’d planned to. From the moment I set foot in that prison cell, I’d told myself that I’d give her as much pleasure as I could the moment we met again.
I’d wanted to draw it out as long as possible for both of us. It was what she deserved.
But I couldn’t hold back.
I grabbed her leg and spread it wide so my body had enough room to nestle close. My other hand curled around her head while I kissed every inch of her skin I could find. I thrust forward, over and over, feeling her pussy walls clench. She clutched at me.
“Leona,” I said softly, a prayer and a vow. “Leona, Leona.”
“Oh, God,” she whimpered. Her breath hitched in her throat. I brushed my thumbs over her nipples, pinching and rolling them between my fingers.
“Come for me, my love,” I said, kissing the skin beneath her throat. “I need you to come so hard that you see stars.”
She whined while she clutched at my shoulders and dragged her nails down my back.
“Right. There.” She wrapped her legs around me. “Come inside me, Max.”
I ducked my head and bit my lip, trying not to spill my load right then and there. “I will, baby. Just as soon as you come first.”
Her pussy rippled around me before her face pressed against my neck and her nails dug into my arms. She held on tight and cried out as she came.
It dragged me over the edge with her like a thousand pound weight.
A choked sigh tore from my chest while I thrust as far as I could go.
The world felt like it stuttered to a stop for that one moment between us.
It was enough, and not enough at the same time. I wasn’t even close to done. This was only the beginning.
She was heaven on earth in every single way.
I would live my entire life for her.
