Chapter 12
CHAPTER TWELVE
CHASE
I’d always known Levi wouldn’t be excited about whoever Addison decided to bring home.
And on some level, I knew I’d be included in that group because…
Well, because I had a dick, for one thing.
And because my best friend had been front and center when I’d been…
undiscerning in high school and the two years I’d attended college before going pro, trying damn hard to forget about a certain someone who’d owned my heart for years.
And because the media had a fucking field day with me, spreading all the bullshit they could about Vancouver’s top forward, despite that none of it was true.
But thinking it in an abstract sense and hearing him confirm it were two very different things.
I loved my best friend like a brother and wanted to respect his wishes. But I loved Addison more. And I also trusted in her ability to make a decision about who she wanted to be with.
I could only hope, in the end, she chose me.
The inn was quiet and empty by the time I got back later that night. Aiden and Avery must have been holed up on their side of the house, and I hadn’t been able to find Addison on my brief scan through the main floor.
I had no doubt she was still pissed off at me. It always took her a while to soften after someone got her good and angry. She’d get over it eventually—she just needed to be dramatic first.
I strode into Levi’s old room, my gaze scanning the surroundings, checking for the black box with the red ribbon.
It was nowhere to be found, which meant it was still tucked safely in Addison’s room.
I grinned at the thought of her finding it on her bed again, and I would’ve given just about anything to see her face when it happened.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t in the cards, so I’d just have to settle for her reaction whenever she—
A soft noise came from her room, and I froze, tilting my head in that direction to listen better.
Now that I was paying attention, I could just make out a low, constant hum interspersed with other quiet sounds.
My bathroom door was open—I never closed it because she was welcome in here anytime—but even so, I shouldn’t have been able to hear anything coming from her room this well, considering she usually did shut her door.
I crept closer, pushing my bathroom door open fully and finding the door leading to her bedroom open as well. The sounds were more pronounced in here, and I quickly realized what I’d been hearing were Addison’s whimpers and moans.
“Fuck,” I whispered under my breath. Reaching down, I cupped my dick and gave it a firm squeeze as I slowly walked toward her room. With how mad she’d been earlier and how adamant she was that I knock, I knew there was no way she’d left this open by accident. Which meant one thing…
She wanted me to hear every bit of this. Wanted me to witness every one of her moans as she got herself off with the toy I’d bought her.
The real question was, did she want me to watch?
“Addie?” I asked, my voice scraped raw at the thought of what she might be doing just a few feet away.
“Chase…” she whispered.
I curled my fingers around the edge of the door, pulling it the rest of the way open, and then froze at the sight that greeted me.
She lay on her bed completely naked, her bedding pooled around her, all that beautiful skin on full display for me.
I didn’t know where to look first, my gaze hungrily taking in every bare inch of her gorgeous body.
One of her hands was playing with her tits, her thumb and forefinger tweaking her rosy nipples just the way she liked, while her other rested between her spread legs, working the toy I’d gifted her this morning.
“Oh fuck,” I barely managed through a tight throat. I ran a hand over my mouth, my gaze darting across every inch of her, trying desperately to take in what I hadn’t seen in far too long. “Oh, fuck me, baby girl. What are you doing to me?”
“Getting my payback.” Her voice was low, raspy, and the sound of it shot straight to my dick.
If this was her payback, I’d gladly suffer through it every day for the rest of my life if she’d let me.
“Addie.” I took a step into her room, desperate to be closer to her. Desperate to feel her body under my fingertips. To taste her pussy on my tongue.
She shut off the toy and stopped all movement as she pinned me with a glare, her eyes heated and mouth set in a flat line. “Don’t you dare. Consider that doorway a force field. You aren’t allowed to take a step past it.”
“Or what?”
“Or I quit.”
Well, that would be a fucking travesty for everyone involved.
“And if I stay right here?” I asked, barely able to get the words out through my tight throat.
She lifted a bare shoulder in a shrug. “Then I’ll let you watch me play.”
My knee was screaming in protest after sitting in the same position so long at Levi’s, and I was about five hours overdue for my next dose of ibuprofen. But the whole fucking world could’ve been on fire, and I wouldn’t have moved from this spot.
I leaned against the doorframe, crossing my arms over my chest and ignoring the incessant throb of my dick inside my jeans.
“Go on, then.” I lifted my chin toward the toy that was deep inside her, her pussy lips spread wide around it. “Take care of my perfect little cunt for me.”
A shudder ran through her at my words, her nipples hardening even further.
And then she turned on the toy again and sucked in a breath.
Her lids grew heavy, her lips parted in pleasure as she thrust it in and out of her, her hips rocking as she increased the speed.
“I didn’t say you couldn’t play, too. Take off your shirt and undo your jeans.
Let me watch you while I get myself off. ”
Jesus Christ. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. At this point, I wasn’t so sure I hadn’t died and gone to heaven, because watching Addison play with her pussy, giving herself exactly what she needed while I witnessed it, was definitely one version of my nirvana.
Part of me wanted to just focus on her. Stand here and soak in every inch of what she was freely showing me. Study every crease of her brow, every arch of her back, every shift of her hips. I wanted to watch her come undone without the added distraction of my own pleasure.
But the look of pure hunger on her face as she stared at me, waiting for me to follow her directions, all while working herself up in a slow, steady build, made my decision for me.
Without taking my eyes away from her, I reached behind and gripped the neck of my shirt to pull it off. Then I undid the fly of my jeans, tugging down my boxer briefs until my dick sprang free, thick and hard and aching for her touch. It was going to have to settle for mine tonight.
“This what you wanted?” I wrapped my hand around the base of my shaft and gave a slow, firm stroke before swiping my thumb over the head. I was already leaking with how much I wanted her, and I gathered that wetness, using it to glide my downstroke.
“Yes,” she breathed. Her gaze was glued to me, sweeping over me from head to toe before focusing on where I stroked my cock, her eyes going heavy, glazed, as she watched me watch her.
She was a fucking vision, lying there, her pussy on full display and spread wide around the toy I’d bought for her. All the while looking at me as if she wished I were the one filling her. As if she wanted to devour me whole.
“You still horny as fuck?” I asked, my voice strained.
After a moment, she nodded, her lips parting as she tugged harder on her nipple and moved the toy faster inside her.
“Tell me how it feels, baby girl. Tell me how well my perfect little pussy is taking that cock.”
Instead of answering with words, she whimpered, her eyelids fluttering closed as she pressed something on the vibrator, the buzz growing more pronounced.
“Tell me, Addison,” I said, firmer this time. “Does that feel as good as having my dick inside you? Does it fill you up as well? Does it reach that spot I hit every single time?”
“No…” she whispered, the word barely more than a breath as she stared at me with a need I hadn’t seen from her in far too long.
“I didn’t think so. Only I know how to get my baby girl off exactly how she needs, isn’t that right? That piece of silicone might be nice to pass the time. Might give you a mediocre orgasm to take the edge off. But you and I both know if you want to scream, you come to me.”
“Chase—” She broke off on a moan, her back arching, eyes still locked with mine, and I had to grip the base of my cock so I didn’t erupt on the spot.
This was the closest thing I’d had to sex in more than a year. And while my dick was intimately acquainted with my right hand—considering it had been the only action it had gotten besides Addison for a decade—the scene in front of me took it to a whole new level.
“You’re close, aren’t you? My sweet cunt is fluttering around that toy, aching for something thicker. Something that could hit deeper. And you know just where to get it, don’t you, firefly?”
Her eyes dropped to my cock, her lips parting as she watched me stroke it in the same rhythm she was fucking herself with.
“You see how much I want you?” I asked, my voice like gravel.
“I’m hard as a fucking rock and dripping for you, baby girl.
Want to be inside you so fucking bad. Want your throaty little moans in my ear while I sink deep and grind the base of my cock against that greedy clit, just like you love.
I want the scratches you give me down my back and the bite marks you leave on my shoulders, and I want my ears ringing from how hard I made you scream. ”
“Oh fuck,” she whispered, her eyes darting between my face and where I pumped my dick furiously, matching her pace. “Chase, I’m gonna—”
“Me, too, baby girl. Give it to me. Pretend I’m the one filling you up and let me feel you squeeze my cock.”
She moaned low, her eyes fluttering closed as she covered her mouth with her forearm, her hips rolling through her release.
I came at the same time, grabbing my discarded shirt and catching my release with it.
My eyes never left her as I shot off into the cotton, wishing with everything I had it’d been inside her.
The buzzing stopped, and then just our panting breaths filled the space.
Addison tossed her toy to the side before sagging against the bed, the bliss from her orgasm written over every inch of her sated body.
She glanced at me then, wariness and trepidation in her gaze, that barrier she loved so fucking much slamming back into place.
I hated it, but I expected it. Addison was a hard one to win over, but I had months. And I wasn’t scared of the difficult work.
She was worth it.
“This doesn’t change anything,” she said, her voice low and raspy.
Rather than argue with her about how wrong she was, about how this changed everything, I said, “You know you’re the one in charge, firefly.
Always have been, always will be. So, you make the call on what this is.
If you want me to just tongue-fuck you every day, I will.
You can sit on my face and let me drown in your sweet cunt for hours until you can’t come anymore.
You want me to suck on your perfect tits or finger you to sleep every night?
Consider it done. Want me to watch every time you get yourself off with a less-impressive version of me?
I’ll do it every fucking time you ask, baby girl.
” I pushed off the doorway and pinned her with a heavy stare, my gaze never leaving hers.
“But when you get tired of playing this game and decide you want the real thing, you know where to find me.”
