Chapter 9
CHAPTER NINE
RORY
As soon as my sister comes through the door, I throw my arms around her, hugging her tightly.
“Rory, I missed you so much. I thought I’d never see you again. They were planning to ship us off to the next handlers in the morning,” my little sister says, sobbing on my shoulder.
“I’m so sorry, Brynlee. I didn’t think they’d do that.”
“I’m just glad it’s over. It is over, right?” I can’t get enough hugging in.
“Yes. We’re safe here.”
“This place is massive, and so are the guys that picked me up. Especially the one they call Knight.” I look into her eyes and see a slight sparkle. Her rescuers may now hold a special place in her heart.
“Girls,” Maddox says, knocking on the door frame.
“It’s almost midnight. Come count it down with me.” He takes my hand, and I take Brynlee’s. He leads us out to the balcony where there’s a small patio set with two cushioned chairs and a small loveseat. The table is filled with food and soft drinks and a bottle of champagne and two flutes.
“Sorry, but no champagne for you, but I did get you some Sprite. You can toast with us,” he tells her. She’s not afraid of him. In fact, she pulls away from me and throws her arms around our hero.
“That’s wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Devlin.”
“Call me, Maddox. I’m going to be your brother-in-law one day soon.”
“Wow, that’s fast.”
“I’m a man who knows what he wants and gets it. Thankfully, your sister agrees.”
“I didn’t agree to marry you,” I tease.
He wags his brow, “Oh yes, you did. You promised me forever. Sorry, the unbreakable contract was signed, sealed, and delivered.” The countdown starts below us where the masses are gathered in the large courtyard to watch the fireworks.
“Five, four, three, two, one. Happy New Year!” everyone shouts.
“Happy new year, ladies.” He drags me into his arms and whispers in my ear, “My year ended with a bang. How about you?” His lips press gently under my ear, kissing me in that sweet spot, and then down my jaw, peppering little kisses until he reaches my lips.
Like a starving animal, he devours my mouth.
Breathless, I pull back, and so my sister can’t hear, I reply, “I say we start the new year with another bang.”
“Fuck, you’re killing me, Kitten.” He groans, and I giggle.
“You guys do realize that I’m still right here.”
“Sorry, squirt.” He rubs her head, messing up her hair. “Let’s watch the fireworks show.”
We sit down and stare up at the sky as it’s lit up with bright, amazingly beautiful colors.
It’s almost one in the morning, and Brynlee falls asleep in the chair. I nudge Maddox who’s playing with my hair. “She’s sleeping. What should we do? Where will she stay?” I whisper.
“Morris had a room prepared for her. It’s my sister’s old room, but for now, she can use it until we get her set up with her own room.” He kisses my forehead and stands up, scooping Brynlee in his arms and carries her back inside. I grab the door, opening it for him.
“My sister found prince charming,” she whispers to Maddox, and I can’t help thinking that despite everything, I believe I did. I feel like a rated-R version of Cinderella.
“I found my queen,” he answers, making my heart melt. The badass I met is so damn soft underneath that my no one would believe me if I told them.
“Goodnight, Brynlee.” We leave her to sleep while we head back to his bedroom.
“I’m not tired, Maddox.”
“No? Would you care for a drink?”
“No, lean back and relax, Mr. Devlin.” He does as I request, and I slide my hands under his suit jacket, massaging his shoulders.
A low groan slips past his lips. “Don’t get a man used to this, Aurora.
” He continues to release the tension, and then I dip lower of the broad expanse of his chest and further.
I reach his expensive leather belt and tug.
“Fuck, Kitten, you’re asking for trouble.”
“No, I’m asking for your cock.”
“Then come here and give it a kiss.” I slide around to the front of the sofa and then drop to my knees.
Maddox reaches over and pulls down the zipper, pushing the straps off my shoulders and revealing my black, lacy strapless bra her sister brought for the outfit.
Biting his bottom lip and shaking his head with a lecherous smirk, he leans back and lets me continue on my mission.
There’s something sexy about him releasing control.
I pop the button on his pants and drag down the zipper.
His thick cock presses hard against his boxers, tempting me.
I run my hands up his muscular thighs, causing them to flex under my touch.
“Take him out, now,” he demands through gritted teeth.
I do it, revealing his lengthy shaft. His cock is sexy.
Wow. I never thought I’d say that, but it feels good in my hands too.
I rub him from base to tip, coaxing out a bead of come before bending forward to lick it off.
Swiping my tongue over the head, I slowly slip it into my mouth, taking inch by inch until I’m on the verge of choking and pull up.
I look up at him, aching to watch him and see that his eyes are trained on me, feral and hungry.
“So pretty with my cock between your lips.” My pussy’s gushing between my legs.
I can’t even breathe because I’m shaking with need.
I take him down again, picking up my pace, but he grips my hair and drags me off his cock.
Maddox bends down, slamming his mouth on mine.
Pinning me to the balcony rug, he slides up my dress and tears off my panties.
“Mine,” he grunts, thrusting fully into my pussy.
I cry out, loving the way my body takes his large cock.
Both his hands trap me to the ground as he pumps into me until we’re both sweating.
He then tugs my bra down and sucks my nipple between his lips while one hand goes to the other, squeezing and teases it.
I press his head harder on my breasts and roll my hips.
“Maddox,” I moan. Looking at me with his sex-hazed eyes, Maddox devours my mouth while his strong hands roam over my body, gliding over my hips, sending pleasure over every inch of me.
He cups the back of my head, gripping my hair while his other hand squeezes my ass. And like that, my pussy explodes, clamping down on his cock, coming and dragging his release from him.
“Happy New Year, Aurora.”
We were so lost in our passion we forgot that people were back inside partying, but neither of us cared.
