22. 22 ADRIAN
22 ADRIAN
Icrouch between her legs and run my hands over the smooth skin of her legs.
Leaning so close I can smell her arousal, I gently blow a breath over her pussy. Her clit is glistening and swollen, and I can’t wait to sink into her.
“You smell so good, hellion. Needy and ready.”
Her face turns red, but she’s totally pleasure drunk.
I am damn satisfied that I put her in this state. It is due to my command that she has that smile on her face. Her body is ripe, soft under my hands.
I lick the side of her pussy, taking my time, turning my cheek so my scruff catches her sensitive skin.
She shudders at my touch but stays in position.
I need to taste her. “Do you taste as good as you smell?”
“I…oh, Sir!” Mckenna moans as I close my mouth on her skin.
I lick her clit, taking my time.
She twists, murmurs coming out of her mouth, nonsensical words, and I don’t want to do anything that gets her out of this state.
Lining my cock up with her entrance, I try to shake off the swell of emotion.
I’m supposed to be the cool, calculated businessman.
But looking at this woman, splayed out before me, makes me feel as if I am a poor lover-boy begging for scraps.
She might be the sub, but all Mckenna has to do is point, and I’d follow her anywhere. It has always been her for me.
I hate the time we’ve spent apart.
Furry, hot, and sharp rolls through me, and I grip her harder, bringing her closer to me.
I thrust just the tip of my cock and grit my teeth as her warmth envelops me.
“Are you needy for my cock, hellion?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Say it.”
“I am needy for your cock, Sir. Please, fuck me,” her words are slurred. She’s so wrapped up in bliss.
I tease her with my tip, watching as she raises her hips off the bed. She’s eager and willing and has my heart in a vise.
This moment will forever be etched in my mind.
And my patience breaks as I sink into her. “You’re so swollen and tight, baby, but I will fit, won’t I?”
“Yes! You’ll fit.”
Now, my gentleness is out the window.
I’m grabbing her by the hips, bringing her closer to me as I slam home, buried to the root. She cries out, her mouth on my shoulder.
Her body against mine feels so damn right. I thrust hard and fast, and she meets me thrust for thrust.
Everything in the universe fades for me, except for every curve of Mckenna. My world is only where she starts and ends.
She grabs my shoulder, her lips against it, and bites down. Her tongue flicks out where she bit it. I pound into her so fast that all we hear is the slap of skin on skin.
I want her to come with me, to fall with me into an orgasm that seals our fate, and I won’t stop until I get it.
Her flesh is so hot against mine and her pussy is an inferno, that as I rock further, deeper into, I love the sounds of pleasure that escape her mouth.
Her hair is tangled with sweat.
She is gorgeous. I will never let her out of my sight again.
Fire shoots up from my spine. My balls are going to burst, and I need to explode in her.
“Mckenna, come for me now,” I slam my mouth to hers, kissing her hard as I rock, thrusting into her once. Twice.
My vision shutters closed, and my release is so powerful that it feels like it’s ripped from my body.
Her pussy clenches around me as if she’s milking me with every cell of her pussy.
“Adrian, Oh, Sir, I’m coming.” She grips me, her nails dragging across my skin.
Her whole body shudders under me, and I lower us to the bed, hugging her close.
“You’re so sexy, hellion,” I mumble against her ear, and kiss a trail down to her throat. She murmurs against me.
I don’t want to leave her, but we need to have dinner and get ready for Club Lust.
“Please, can we stay like this for a little longer? I haven’t slept very well since…everything.”
The pain in her voice grabs my heart.
“I want to keep you safe, Mckenna. We can stay here a little longer.” I reach for my phone and set it for thirty minutes.
“Thank you.” Her eyes drift close.
I tighten my arm around her, watching her face lose its tension as she drifts off to sleep.
Whatever it takes, I will make this woman’s world better.

After our showers, we eat in the dining room. I have Mckenna seated on my right. I’ve fed her every bite of food on her plate, but I’m uneasy. When she woke up from her nap, she acted jittery, as if she wanted to be away from me.
“Mckenna, tell me what’s on your mind. You know my offer.”
“That you’ll take care of me, and we’ll be together.”
“Isn’t that what you wanted? What we both wanted for years?”
She reaches for her glass of red wine and takes a sip. “My father wanted me to be safe, so I’m going to be a vet.”
“I’m not going to stand in your way of that,” I say, reaching over to squeeze her thigh.
“What if you resent the time I spend working? You go from hating me to loving me just like that.”
“Mckenna, it’s not fast. I have always loved you, and I tried to protect you. You’re the one who didn’t call.”
She bites her lip, shaking her head.
“I hate Ava’s meddling. I hate that your father’s decisions affected my life and my father’s legacy.”
“My father has a legacy, too. I don’t know if you can separate the hate you feel for my father from me.” She puts down her glass. Her green eyes are somber as she glances at me.
I curl my fist, breathing through my nose. I want to go back to piling orgasms on her and having her sleep on the floor, if not in my bed.
But the clock is ticking down.
“Mckenna, I love you.”
Her face drains of color.
Maybe I should have waited to say those words to her.
She pushes back her chair.
“I…Adrian.”
“It’s true.” I get up from my chair and take her hand in mine. “I want to love you and protect you. I want to buy you more dresses than you could ever need.”
She chokes out a sob. “Do you know how many times I daydreamed about you loving me? How many times I wished I could tune out Ava’s threats and throw myself at you?”
“A lot?” I smirk.
“Adrian, it’s not funny. This is so complicated.”
“It isn’t. I love you. That’s all that matters.”
I take her hand and put it over my heart. “I have wanted to say those words to you for a very long time. I love you, Mckenna, and I will spend every day of my life showing you how much I love you. If you want to train and ride horses, I’ll buy you twenty. If you want to be a clown, I’ll buy you a circus tent. If you want to sit on the couch all day and eat chocolates, I’ll keep you supplied.”
“Adrian, how can you be so sure?”
“Because of how I feel.” I back her against the wall.
I slide my hand against her soft cheek. “I’m tired of being dragged down by the actions of our parents, hellion. We can make a new life. Together.”
“I don’t know what to say.”
Her eyes dart everywhere but my face.
“Don’t say a word, Mckenna. I have to take you back to Club Lust. You have to get checked in to fulfill the contract. But then you turn around and come back to me. We start a new life together.”
“That easy?” Her eyes are wide and filled with tears unshed.
“That easy,” I say as I pull her in against my chest, wrap my arms around her, and hold her. I want to memorize how she feels in my arms right now, but I can’t think of her not returning to me this evening.
“We have to go.” She breaks the embrace.
“I know. You packed everything?”
“Yes.”
“Good,” I stride toward her bag by the door.
Taking her time, Mckenna steps into the new shoes I bought her, pulling a light cardigan over her shoulders.
“Adrian, I’m glad we’re ending this weekend as friends.”
“Just friends?” I wrap a strand of her hair around my finger.
She gives me a sly smile. “More than friends. Thinking that you hated me made my isolation worse.”
“I hate that you felt that way. But that’s behind us now, Mckenna.”
“Okay,” she whispers.
I take her hand in mine.
When she came here, I treated her as if she were my possession. Now, I treat her as if she’s my treasure. I open the car door for her, waving away my driver.
“Thanks,” she smiles, but it doesn’t quite reach her eyes as I click her seat belt.
“You’re welcome.” I close her door lightly, then come around the door as my driver puts her bags in the trunk.
She is silent on the way to Club Lust, and maybe she’s nervous about checking into the club or she’s thinking of what we are going to do later.
My phone rings. It’s my private investigator, and I haven’t talked to him since last night.
“Yes?”
“Mr. McIntyre, I have news. Davis is on a plane heading to New York right now.”
“What time?” A mix of anticipation and anger has me clenching my fist. “How sure are you that it’s him?”
Mckenna is looking out the window, but I know she’s overhearing my conversation.
“A hundred percent confirmation, Mr. McIntyre. I’ll send you photo proof.”
“Excellent.” My pulse is racing. The timing of this can’t be more spot on. This is the perfect way for Mckenna and me to put the past behind us and start a new life. The car turns into the Club Lust parking lot.
There are other town cars waiting, and the parking lot is filled. It’s a normal night at Club Lust. I wonder if Mckenna would want to play here after we check her in, but I want to take her home and celebrate.
“I’ll notify the authorities. Thanks, Tom.”
“You got it, boss.”
I end the call, unbuckle Mckenna’s seat belt, and pull her into my lap.
“Adrian!”
“I love you.” I slant my lips over hers and kiss her deeply, with all the heat I feel for this woman warming my veins.
“What’s happening?” Her eyes are sparkling in the car’s interior.
“I can’t wait to celebrate tonight.”
Her brows furrow. “Celebrate what?”
“For the last six months, I’ve had a private investigator on the trail of your father. I have visual confirmation tonight. That was my PI on the phone just now to tell me your father will be in New York this morning. I’m calling the authorities. Isn’t this a wonderful way to start our life together?”
I’m so elated that I’m slow to notice Mckenna’s scowl, that she’s reaching for the door handle.
“Mckenna.”
She shakes off my touch.
“All this time, you knew where my father was?”
“No, I told you, it’s been a long investigation.”
“And the minute he lands, you call the authorities on him?”
“Mckenna, it’s an ongoing investigation. This will bring us both peace.”
A single, big, fat tear rolls down her cheek. “You can forgive your sister, but not my father? Adrian, I can’t be with you.” Her words are softly spoken, but they might as well have been yelled in my ear with a bullhorn. She can’t be serious.
“Mckenna, I love you. We can work this out.”
“You may love me, but I can’t be with someone who won’t accept my father as the good man he is and keeps treating him like a criminal. Goodbye, Adrian.”
I watch her slam the door, my world reeling as she makes her way into Club Lust.
I tell my driver to wait.
But minutes tick by.
I know she’s not coming because I let my logical mind screw this up.
I don’t know what I have to do, but I will make this right. Mckenna Moran is mine, and I will do whatever it takes to prove it to her.
