Chapter 20 Celeste #2
I wrap my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.
Our tongues fight for the upper hand. Sucking his bottom lip, I bite and graze my teeth against it before releasing, making him moan.
He lifts me up by my thighs, placing me on the countertop, spreading my legs apart to stand in between.
Grabbing the hem of my shirt, he breaks the kiss to lift it over my head and once it is, his lips meet mine again as he unclasps my bra.
His lips leave mine as he trails kisses down my neck to my naval.
He cups my boob with one large, calloused hand and his tongue swirls around my hardened nipples.
My head tips back as he sucks my sensitive tits.
A moan escapes me and he travels to the next, giving it the same attention.
With his free hand he’s yanking my pants down and I assist by lifting my hips up.
He breaks the assault from my tits and lowers himself to his knees as he slides the remaining of my pants off. He yanks my ass closer to the edge and spreads them wider. His eyes meet mine and he has a devilish smirk on that handsome face.
“Eyes on me, baby girl. I want you to watch as I devour your sweet pussy.” His eyes never leave mine as he swipes his tongue along my pussy.
My body tingles all over with arousal and my legs close automatically but he catches them and pushes them wider aggressively. He licks and sucks my clit causing me to buck my hips. His tongue dives deep inside me, fucking me as if he’s starved. I watch in awe as he feasts with utter hunger.
My hand goes to the top of his head, pressing him deeper into me as I start to ride his face. He hums, causing me to lose my self-control.
“Fuck, Alraric! You’re going to make me come!” I scream as my hips grind hard into him.
He pulls out of me, making me whimper but returns with two fingers, thrusting hard and fast inside me as he absorbs all my emotions and pleasure that radiates from me.
It’s as if he’s taking a mental photo of how I come undone for him.
He returns to my clit and sucks as he fucks me with those damn fingers.
“You look so damn sexy coming undone for me. Be a good girl and come all over my face. Use me. Ride me,” he growls before removing his fingers and replacing it with his tongue.
I thrust my hips and shove his face hard into my pussy as my body vibrates and my eyes roll to the back of my head and I come all over his face.
My body slumps back and he slowly rises, wiping me from his face and licking his fingers clean.
He grabs a towel from the drawer, running it under warm water before cleaning me off.
Picking me up from the counter, he carries me to his shower and places me down before he turns on the water heating it up.
He quickly undresses and guides me into the shower where we stand under the hot water, feeling our bodies relax.
He lathers my hair and body, making sure I’m clean on every inch of my body before I do the same for him.
It’s as if this is normal for us. So comfortable as if home is where we are.
Once we’re cleaned, we towel off and get dressed and spend the next two hours cuddled up on the couch watching a movie like a normal damn couple.
Once we finished our movie and played a game of chess, in which I kicked his ass, I took a deep breath knowing that I needed to tell him about the event.
I have no idea why I’m so nervous to tell him.
No man has ever made me this nervous but I know he’s not going to like what he’s going to hear.
Antonio and Larson challenge me all day long, especially with my plan, but I never falter to them. Alaric? I just might.
So I’ll spare him the details. Make him think that it’s just a simple event that I can’t cancel and nothing more. He’s going to flip his shit.
“So now might be a bad time to mention that my club has a big event Friday night,” I nonchalantly mention as he gets up to put the popcorn bowl away.
He stops dead in his tracks and slowly turns with daggers in his eyes.
“You have to be fucking kidding me? After what you just saw on the counter, you think it’s smart to have an event? At a strip club? Putting a big ass target on your back?” Oh, he's fuming now.
Maybe I should have waited and not ruined this time we have together, uninterrupted. I mean, he’s not wrong for being upset.
“It’s already been announced and it’s projected to be a very packed night.
There’s no way he’ll strike with a huge crowd like that.
Plus there’s going to be security at every corner.
I think I’ll be fine, Alaric. I can’t shut down business because there’s a crazy person running around.
The world doesn’t stop turning,” I argue.
Alaric begins pacing the floor, silent as he’s fighting a battle in his head to keep from lashing out.
I don’t know whether to be worried or extremely turned on by how protective he’s being.
I’d rather it be the latter. I don’t mind him taking his aggression out on me and going for round three.
He’s so damn hot; I’m fighting not to smile as I watch him.
“I don’t give a shit if there’s the fucking SWAT team there.
He’s been unpredictable and he could step out of his normal and hide within the crowd.
He only takes one victim at a time but that doesn’t mean he’s not willing to branch out.
Right now, this is too dangerous and until we can get better leads, I think you should cancel it.
” He deadpans as if he has the final say in the matter.
He’ll learn real quick that no one tells me what to do. Once my mind and plans are set, it will follow through. I don’t care what you are to me. Maybe it’s a flaw of mine, but I don’t care.
“Alaric, I’m a whole-ass woman who makes my own decisions.
He doesn’t scare me and I won’t hide giving him the satisfaction of fear.
The event is happening whether you like it or not.
If it makes you feel better, I will add you and your team's name to the list. Use the opportunity to scope out and finally catch the son of a bitch. I appreciate your concern more than you know. Since my father died, I’ve never felt so secure and cared for but I also won’t have someone dictate my choice, regardless of your intentions.
” Glancing up at the clock, I realize that I need to get home.
As I go to move past him, his hand wraps around my arm and he draws me into him.
We say nothing for a few moments and I let myself melt into him.
He holds me, engulfing me with his scent.
I can feel him sigh deeply as he realizes my decision is final and I won’t back down from it.
He realizes he has a woman who’s far more superior, stubborn, and driven than anyone he’s ever been with.
What he doesn’t know is that he’s in love with a killer, far more dangerous than The Jawbreaker.
“Put my name and my team's on the list. I’ll send you their names. I’ll feel better knowing that I can keep an eye on you.
You’re right, we could use this as an opportunity to catch this fucker.
Maybe once this is all over, we can take a trip to Italy and get away, just you and me.
” His lips brush my forehead as he finally relaxes and concedes to my decision.
“There, was that so hard? As much as I would love to stay and hide away with you, I have to head home to a little human and have our little pedi date I promised her. I will send you all the information you need. Oh, and don’t come all agent like.
Come as a civilian and make sure your team knows that as well.
” I rise up on my tippy toes and kiss him gently.
I peel away from him and gather my things from his room before I head towards the door.
He leans against the wall watching me as if he’s taking a mental note of my movements, profiling me to get a better understanding of the woman that won’t cower down to his demands.
A part of me feels uneasy, like I’m just another case he’s trying to analyze.
Or maybe I’m just overthinking it and just need to realize he’s an overbearing, protective boyfriend who actually gives a shit about me.
“Let me know when you get home safe. I love you.” Before I can open the door, he whirls me around and kisses me with so much passion, as if it’s the last time we will be together.
“I love you, too,” I whisper, breathless from that kiss.
Once I get into the elevator, I pull my phone out and send a quick text to the boys to give them a heads up of the new eyes that will be joining the club.
It changes nothing, though. I will be the next victim and I know Alaric is going to lose his shit.
They weren’t fast enough to save Samantha and I refuse to sit idly while we wait for her dead body to appear in the middle of Times Square.
My mask adorns my face once more, ready for war to wage.
