CHAPTER EIGHT
Beckett
I T’S BEEN THREE DAYS , and I still feel like I’m living on pins and needles, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Onyx has had some fun with us, but Kenan has steered clear of touching me or letting me touch him. I feel like I had a taste of paradise and now I’m banned from going there again.
“I have to take this motorcycle princess out while my parents talk about the club. I have dinner plans with her and then I should be back a little later tonight. I need you two to stay in this room. Only Beck can leave to get you food.” Kenan says, taking Onyx’s face in his hands.
“I understand.” Onyx yanks her face out of his grip.
“Garrett is ready to have the reporter threatening to tear us apart taken care of. He’s the most brutal man I’ve ever met and I’m not ready to let you go yet.” Kenan leans down to look her directly in the face, “Do you understand that?”
“Yes.” She says through gritted teeth. He pinches her cheeks and kisses her perfect lips, making me stupidly jealous.
“Beck,” Kenan says my name with a firmness that he doesn’t often use on me, “Come here.” He says, pointing to the floor in front of him. Rolling off the bed, I walk around and stand in front of him. “If she leaves this room, I will take it out on you, do you understand?” His tone is low and demanding and I’ll be damned if it’s not fucking amazing. Dammit.
I nod as I drop my eyes to the floor
“Words. Use your words puppy.” He uses his fingers to lift my face.
“Yes daddy.” I reply, “I understand.” Wait, did I just say daddy, fuck. But when he doesn’t flinch I let out a breath of relief.
“Good boy.” Oh god, I’m fucking puddle.
I want to thank him, but I don’t. Instead he pinches my cheeks like he did hers and pulls me closer to him, kissing me like he did her. Holy shit, he wraps a hand at the nape of my neck as he lets go of my cheeks and kisses me deeper, actually kisses me.
When he breaks the kiss I’m lost in a daze, swaying on my feet. “Stay in here please.”
I sit on the bed next to Onyx and we both nod as we laced our fingers together watching Kenan leave the room. “Damn him.” Onyx breathes out. I just laugh, pulling her with me as I lay back on the bed, letting the feeling of his lips on mine linger.
“I love when he takes charge like that, it’s always been hot.” I let out a small chuckle.
“You know, we really haven’t talked much about you being a submissive like you have been these last few days. Do you feel safe? Is there anything I can do to help you through what’s going on?”
“I just wish Kenan would-” I turn to look at her, propped up on her elbow looking at me as she traces circles on my chest. “I wish he would acknowledge me more.”
“I know, but baby steps, he’s not going to just change overnight. He needs time, but you, my sweet puppy. What do you need?”
“I’d love to sleep with you in my arms, I want to hold you.” I say, biting my lip.
“I’ve been sleeping between you both for a few nights now.” she says, like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
“I know, but I want to feel your arms and legs around me too. The safety in holding, if that makes sense.”
“Do you need cuddles after sex?” She asks, sitting up. She looks like she feels bad for not asking sooner as I nod. “I’m so sorry. Come on then, let's have ourselves a cuddle party.” She bounces up the bed, pulling the blanket down as I follow her up the bed like the lost little puppy I feel like sometimes.
She curls into my arms, wrapping her arms and legs around me as I pull her against my chest taking a long relaxing deep breath.
“Feel better?” She asks as her hand smooths the shirt against my back.
“Yes.” I sigh, letting my eyes fall closed.
“I’ll remember you need this, okay puppy?”
“Okay.” After a few more deep breaths, I feel myself sinking into a sleep that hasn’t swallowed me whole like this in a long time.
