Chapter 16
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
OLIVIA
H is lips crash into mine, and it’s like an instant explosion inside my body. Easily lifting me, I wrap my legs around him. He walks us to the spare bedroom that has obviously become our secret spot.
Without missing a beat, his tongue strokes and tortures mine as he quietly shuts the door. I’m pressed against it in a matter of seconds before his hard body connects with mine.
“You don’t know how bad I’ve been wanting to kiss you again,” he rasps out as he moves to my neck, trailing kisses as he goes. “You’ve somehow gotten so deeply embedded into my skin that I feel I’m going mad half the time with how much I want you.”
His words flow through me, causing another crack in the walls that I’ve built so perfectly around me. He’s reaching parts of me that I’ve buried for so long that it’s both liberating and terrifying at the same time.
“Miles,” I moan when he pulls my flesh deep in his mouth. His hands have a death grip on my ass as he presses into me further.
“God, I want to sink into you and never come up for air,” he says quietly. He slowly lowers me, and the next thing I know, his hand has my wrists bound above my head, causing me to gasp. “It’s time for you to be selfish, Olivia.”
He trails his finger over the top of my breasts before running his thumb over my nipple. It hardens instantly at his touch as I strain against the fabric and arch into him.
“I want you to greedily take what I’m about to give you.
” His hand moves down over my stomach before sliding under my dress and touching my damp panties.
Easily moving them aside, he pushes two fingers in, and a soft growl escapes his lips.
“You are so fucking wet for me. I love that your body wants me just as badly as I want yours.”
He goes deeper, and I bite my lip to stop a moan. I’ve never had someone have so much control over my body before. He somehow knows exactly what I like.
What I need .
My body is a slave to him, and I’m scared of how much I don’t want to be set free.
I strain against his hold on me, and his grip tightens on my wrists. I’m at his mercy, and there’s nowhere to hide and nothing to stop what’s coming as my body begs for release.
His fingers expertly tease me to the brink of taking it all before backing off and starting all over again.
“Miles, please,” I whimper, trying to move my hips to bring him deeper, but his firm grasp has me locked in place.
A smile plays on his lips as he watches my every move. His eyes blaze with a delicious wickedness as he slowly tortures me with every slight touch of his hand.
“Never has there been a more beautiful sound in this world than hearing you beg for me. I’ve played more beautiful notes through the years than I can count, and not one has come close to the sweet sound of your voice saying my name as you beg me to let you cum. ”
He bends close to my ear, and his warm breath caresses my skin.
“As much as I would love to hear you scream it, you’re going to have to save it for another time.
” He moves so that his neck is by my mouth.
“Put your lips on me, Olivia. I want another reminder on my skin for later when I stroke myself to your image.”
He slides another finger in, filling me completely as he goes deeper, hitting all the right spots. I don’t think twice as my lips touch his neck, and I sink my teeth into him, sucking hard.
His growl spurs me on as I feel my body surrender to his touch and let go. My scream is muffled as I suck harder, my body igniting into flames. I squeeze him tightly as my orgasm floods my body like a tsunami.
I’m breathing hard against his neck as I come down from my high. He makes sure every last sensation is felt before he slowly withdraws his fingers. With his eyes focused on me, I watch him suck them clean one by one.
“Tastes just as good as I remember,” he murmurs before finally releasing my wrists and placing them around his neck, bringing us flush against one another.
My fingers play with his soft hair at the nape of his neck as I stare into his intense grey eyes.
His white V-neck tee stretches across his broad chest, moving with each heavy breath he takes.
I can tell he’s still fully aroused as I feel his muscles tense against me, but he holds back and remains in control.
“Who’s driving you home?” he asks all of a sudden, his brows furrowed.
“Savi. She could tell I needed to let loose a bit, so she told me earlier not to worry about driving if I wanted a few extra glasses of wine. She’s very persuasive when she wants to be,” I softly laugh.
“I’ll drive you home. I can get my bike tomorrow.”
“You don’t have to do that,” I say, quickly shaking my head.
Miles going back to my house is not a good idea, especially when I haven’t figured out what the hell I’m doing.
I’ve never done anything like this or acted this way since having Bee.
I just had an orgasm in the spare bedroom of my friend’s house during her daughter’s birthday party.
I don’t even know who the hell I am right now.
“I want to.”
“And if I say no?”
“Then I’ll follow you home to make sure you get there safely. Either way, I’m coming along for the ride.” I peer up at him, and he grins. “Savi’s not the only one who can be persuasive. She’s got four older brothers. Where do you think she learned it from?”
“Fine,” I sigh. “I’m feeling too good to fight you on this right now.”
“Any particular reason you are feeling good?” His lips fight back a smile.
“Must be the wine,” I say with a straight face.
“You are such a brat,” he laughs, weaving his hands into my hair and grasping both sides of my face as his thumbs stroke my cheek. “You’re lucky we don’t have more time, or I’d be silencing that smart mouth of yours with something to choke on.” A devilish grin appears as his greys pierce mine.
“Or unlucky,” I say, before I can stop myself.
Damn liquid courage.
He throws back his head and laughs. “Don’t tempt me, honey. The greedy part of me has no problem keeping you in here the rest of the night.” His gaze softens as he smiles. “I know you need to get Bee home, though, so I’ll be a good boy for once and wait.” He steps back and opens the door.
Another place in my heart opens just a little bit wider for him as he puts Bee before his own needs.
I walk through the door, and he follows behind me. I’m relieved when I see his family still outside talking. I know we weren’t gone long, but I still don’t want to embarrass myself on the first day of meeting everyone.
“Let’s say goodbye, and then we can grab Bee and head out,” he whispers, not wanting to disturb the sleeping kids.
I nod my head and follow him outside. Lyla is the first to spot us, and I can tell by the smile she’s trying to hold back that we are not fooling anyone.
I feel like I have a big neon sign on my head that says I just orgasmed in your house, and it was at the hands of your brother-in-law.
They need to put that on a shirt. There has to be someone out there in this world who can relate.
“We are heading out. Olivia needs to get Bee to bed.” Miles casually says the statement as if we are a normal couple leaving for the night. I see his brothers' amused faces and want to crawl into a hole and die.
“I thought I was taking her home,” Savi says, raising her perfect eyebrow at him.
“Not anymore,” he declares firmly.
Savi starts to say something, and I quickly cut her off, wanting to end this conversation. “Thank you so much for having me, Lyla, and you too, Jake. You have a beautiful home. Bee and I had such a great time getting to know you all.”
“You are welcome here anytime, Olivia.” Jake smiles warmly at me.
“Don’t forget about girls’ night. We have you on the group text, so you are locked in now,” Sophia, Travis’s wife, grins at me. Her long black hair is tied back in a ponytail, and her beautiful green eyes are smiling.
“There’s no escaping us, especially since you bring such good wine,” Eve giggles. “We might kidnap you.” She’s curled up next to her husband, Ryder, on the outdoor sofa. His fingers absently play with her auburn hair as her bright blue eyes shine with laughter.
I got along so well with all the girls today.
It was as if I had known them forever. I can tell how much they love their family and each other.
It’s a sisterhood I always wanted but never had.
I have one older sister, but we are complete opposites and never see eye to eye on anything.
She has two kids with her lawyer husband and lives in a perfectly put-together house in the suburbs.
I, on the other hand, get pregnant and become a single mom. My home is well-lived in, and I have a taste for bad boys. We are two polar opposites wanting completely different things out of life.
“I won’t forget,” I laugh. “I’m looking forward to it.”
“I’ll be by tomorrow to get my bike,” Miles tells Jake.
“No problem,” Jake says, taking a sip of his bourbon.
“I’ll put it in the garage for you before I leave, since I’m the only one who has the balls to have a bike.” Travis grins at our two other brothers.
“I have the balls, but I prefer fast cars,” Ryder says, defending himself.
“I just value my life,” Jake chuckles.
“Pussy,” Miles coughs, and we all laugh. I can’t imagine what they were like as teenagers.
“This is why we need your wine,” Savi says, rolling her eyes at her brothers. “I had to live with this shit every day of my life growing up.”
“I’ll make sure to keep your supply stocked,” I grin at Miles’s sister.
I could tell right away when I met her that they’re all related.
She has the same dark hair and facial features.
Except for the ocean blue eyes and dusting of freckles across her nose, she could be a twin of one of her brothers .
“I knew I loved you,” she says, lifting her arms for a goodbye hug. Grinning at my new friend, I bend down to hug her back.
We say our goodbyes and slip back into the house.
“Thanks for watching Bee tonight,” I whisper to Max, who is the only one awake now. He looks just like his dad. He’s going to be a heartbreaker with the ladies if he isn’t already. Travis and Sophia will have their hands full.
“It’s no problem,” he grins at me. “She was easy compared to Uncle Ryder’s two boys and my little brother,” he chuckles softly.
“I believe that,” Miles quietly laughs.
I walk over to Bee to pick her up, and Miles stops me.
“I’ve got her,” he whispers. “She’s lighter for me. You can get Gizmo,” he grins.
“Thanks, I’m honored,” I mumble.
Miles laughs softly as I gently remove my daughter’s arm from the snoring dog and scoop him up. His tongue laps my cheek, and I smile at his goofy demeanor. He definitely grows on you and becomes cuter in his own Gizmo way.
I watch Miles gently pick up my daughter, and her little arms immediately wrap around his neck.
She snuggles against his shoulder, and my heart flutters at the sight.
He lightly rubs her back, and seeing her little body against this big guy covered in tattoos as he gently puts her back to sleep, does something deep inside of me.
“Miles…” she says sleepily. I’m shocked she knows exactly who’s holding her when they only met today.
He just smiles, though, and runs his hand down her soft brunette curls.
“Yes, little bee?” My heart hammers in my chest as I swallow past the lump in my throat. It’s the same nickname I use for her .
“Make sure to cuddle with Gizmo tonight. It makes him feel safe and helps him sleep.”
“I’ll be sure to do that, sweetheart,” he says softly.
“Good,” she says, drifting off to sleep again.
His eyes meet mine, and so many questions and feelings hang in the air.
It would be as easy as breathing to fall for him.
I can’t let myself do that so easily, though.
Not until I know for sure he’s ready to have both of us in his life.
He’s used to the party life and being able to do what he wants when he wants.
I know we have this insane physical attraction and like each other, but it’s not enough for me. Not anymore.
I deserve someone who can give their whole heart to me, and not just when it’s convenient for them to do so. I won’t settle for anything less.
For me or for Bee.
