Chapter 26 #2
My mouth drops to her neck, her hands roaming over my head, holding me in place when I reach her nipple. “Don’t stop,” she begs.
“Hmmm, I need inside.” Grasping my cock, I glide it through her folds before pushing the tip inside.
“Condom!” she shouts. “We have to use a condom!”
“What? We didn’t on Saturday.”
“We are now!”
“No,” I snap, sliding into her to the hilt.
“Mason,” she murmurs, her teeth scraping my shoulder.
“There’s never been anything between us, Nina. I’m not about to start now.”
She groans into my neck, and I lift her from the island, letting her legs drop and her pussy slide deeper onto me. I squeeze my eyes tight as I fight for control.
Her hot tongue traces my lips. “Are you going to fuck me now?”
I pop open an eye and find her smiling up at me. Her cheeks are flushed, her eyes dazed and heavy. “You’re already fucked, Pixie.”
I roll my hips, and her smile drops. “But if you really want it… I can have you,” I thrust hard into her, wrapping an arm around her back and forcing her down onto me, “completely.” Another thrust. “And utterly.” Thrust. “Fucked!”
My balls draw up as Nina claws at my skin, trying to get even closer as she wraps herself around me.
“Fuck,” I groan, pounding harder, faster.
“Yes!” Nina cries out into my neck, her pussy clenching like a vice around me.
I pump into her three more times, then I’m coming right along with her.
“I really didn’t think I’d cave so easily.”
I chuckle at Nina’s admission, smiling up at the ceiling as I lie sprawled out on my sofa with her on top of me. “Nah, I knew we wouldn’t last a day.”
She lifts up onto her arm to look at me, her warm hand smoothing over my chest. “You? Sure. Me? Nope. Didn’t think I’d cave.”
“This is all on you,” I tell her. “I didn’t seduce you in the kitchen with my tits.”
“Uh, thankfully you didn’t, no. But you did seduce me with the whole daddy, mummy, Ellis vibe, and ‘go get naked in my tub’ tactic.” She arches her sharp brow at me. “I’m not stupid, Mr Lowell.”
I pull her back down so she’s flush against me. “I wanted to cheer you up. I knew you’d be sad when you came here.”
She doesn’t say anything for a minute, her finger tracing circles on my chest. “He didn’t get mad. He didn’t really do or say anything.”
Probably because he’s a fucking psycho. “He probably saw it coming.”
“Hmm,” she hums, not delving any deeper into it. “What did you want to tell me about Jasmine?” she asks.
My hand falls to her hair, sliding the silky strands between my fingers. “I told you she’s going through social services to get her children back.”
“Yeah,” she sighs.
“She’s not a bad person, you know. She’s working to get her life straight again. It’s the only reason I gave her the job and a place to stay.”
“I’m glad you did,” she murmurs, barely audible.
“You are?”
She props herself up on her arms so she can see my face.
“She would’ve been pregnant, right? If she has a child the same age as Ellis.
I don’t know why she did it, but I can only imagine the situation she must have been in for that to ever become a scenario.
I don’t know. It just seems awful to think about. ”
“From what we saw, I’d say her boyfriend had a lot to do with the why. She was afraid of us.”
“Us?”
“Me and Charlie. We went to her flat. There were drugs, it was damp and mouldy, and she had Betty, her baby, living amongst it all.” I grimace just thinking about it.
She purses her lips, a sad expression on her face. “Do you think you took her in because of Ellis?”
“Maybe. I knew I couldn’t leave her there though.” I roll to face her, wanting her to understand my reasoning. “But I also wanted something—someone for you. Family, Nina, real family.”
She watches her own hand as it runs through my hair again. “I know, and I love you for it.”
“Would you consider meeting her, properly?” I ask, hopeful.
She doesn’t say anything right away, her brow creasing as her beautiful mind works. I give her a moment, not trying to push her into anything.
“One day. I think I could one day.” Her gaze meets mine again. “But right now, it seems a little soon. I feel like we’re only now finding our new dynamic as a family and there’s so much room to fuck it up. I’m sure I will fuck it—”
“Shut up with that,” I cut her off, squeezing her hip.
“But it’s not a no, and I want to know more about her.” She shrugs. “I’m intrigued.”
“Of course, you are.” I give her a soft smile as I smooth a hand over her back.
“I want to meet my dad too.” My heart seems to jolt in my chest at her words, my body running hot with unease.
“I haven’t heard from Mum since before Ellis was born.
I’ve reached out but haven’t heard a thing back.
I don’t think I can do any more than that, but I could try my dad.
” She looks up at me again sheepishly and I try to relax my features. “I spoke to Vinny about it today.”
How do I tell her, her father is a fucking oxygen thief? How do I tell her that I know exactly why her mother hasn’t been in touch? Keeping things from Nina now will only come back and kick me in the ass. But it’s been a day, and I don’t necessarily want her to kick me in the ass now either.
I don’t want to disappoint her.
Not when things are so good.
“I can see if I can get hold of your mum.” (Not a lie.)
“I wouldn’t bother. I’ve lost all hope for the woman,” she says it with disdain, but I know she hurts. She’s only ever wanted her mother to care.
“I’m sorry.” I kiss her head.
“It’s not your fault,” she hums, wrapping her arms around my back and snuggling close. “Thank you for tonight, Mase. It’s been the perfect first date.”
“This isn’t a date.” I smile into her hair.
“No?” she asks, sounding surprised.
I chuckle as I tell her, “No. This was just foreplay.”
“Date foreplay? I don’t think that’s a thing.”
“Is now.”
“If this was foreplay.” I feel her smile against my bare chest.
“We won’t fucking survive it,” I deadpan. Her laugh that follows flows through me like silk, making my eyes close as I absorb every bit of it. I’ve missed this. Her.
“RIP me.”
I frown. “You did not just say that.” I laugh, throwing my head back. “RIP me,” I mimic in an eerily girly voice.
“Shut up!” She giggles, biting down on my nipple.
“Ouch!” I grasp my pec, pushing on her shoulder and away from me.
“Don’t dish out what you can’t take, Bossman.”
I manoeuvre myself so I’m above her and between her legs, kneeing them far apart. I sink my growing cock deep inside of her. “Let’s see just how much you can take, smart girl.”
