LAKE
We barely made it to the suite. We were all over each other.
The second Maverick’s dress dropped to the floor, and her jewelry fell to the table. I scooped her up in bridal style and threw her on the bed.
“Take off your panties and bra.” I fumbled to strip off my tux, pants, and socks. Then my shoes came off last.
She was magnificent in bed, like a classic Hollywood beauty. I never doubted my wife was beautiful and hot, but tonight she was fucking hot.
“Fuck.” My body was on fire. My cock was alive and free. I gripped my hard length as she slipped her hand between her thighs and began pleasuring herself.
My heart raced at a different speed as I watched her head fall back against the mattress.
One moment, I was out of bed, and the next second, I was on top of her, pinning her wrists above her head, parting her thighs with my knee, and then I captured her mouth with mine in a brutal, hard kiss.
At this moment, lust instantly made my head spin. I positioned my cock on her pussy, rubbing her lips, coating my head with her wetness.
“You’re always fucking wet for me.” I gritted out, and she was panting, eyes darkening. Her red lipstick smeared all over her lips. “You look fucking hot. I’ve thought all night of how to get you off that dress and fuck you hard.
“Yet you’re still not inside me, Winston.” She licked her lips.
“God, I love how bold you are in bed.” I didn’t give her a chance to throw her wit at me. I slammed my dick inside her. “Fuck!”
She screamed and winced, making me stop.
“Fuck, did I hurt you?”
“You’re about to if you won’t work on your dick.” She bit her bottom lip, wiggling under me.
“Behave, and I will make you come.” I grinned at her sassiness as I worked on moving my hips into her, slowly at first, while kissing her like we had all night. Then, I folded her knee underneath me at my desired angle so I could go deeper.
She was tighter, gripping around me, dousing my pleasure. My hips worked harder into her, fast and hard, as I pounded into her mercilessly.
She moaned in pleasure, whimpering my name.
My dick throbbed so strong, burying deep as I could, and I instantly felt my orgasm was just around the corner.
I slowed down, kissing her passionately, turning all my emotions into actions, shambling me up- I felt the rush of delirious impulse burst through me, adrenaline racing in my veins, and I felt like I was making love to her. It was perfect.
My heart pounded so hard that I realized why we felt so good together, why it hurt so much when she was hurt, why it made me so happy when she smiled, why I would give her everything to make her happy, and why I’d supported what she wanted. Everything rushed all at once through me as realization hit.
I loved this woman so fucking much.

“Why was someone still following her?”
“What do you mean?” Linden asked from the other line.
“She still saw your guy at the corner of the alley, watching her.”
“Then that’s not my man. He said she never even saw him. There’s another man in play, Winston. Be careful. Inform Homer, and let me handle the guy.”
“Good, and something happened while she went outside the bar, and she didn’t want me to tell about it.
“I’ll take care of the situation. Have you talked to Terzo again?”
“Why would I do that?” Even hearing his name pissed me off and terrified me at the same time.
“That could be his guy watching Maverick. Maybe the information we gathered has reached his father. You don’t know how resourceful they are or how well-connected Siciliano is, Winston. Money works around. You know that.”
“It’s his blood money.”
“Nobody cares, and his influence, his reputation fears everyone. I suggest you talk to Terzo and tell him to pull his man back if it’s scaring your wife. He’ll do that in an instant. He’s probably just protecting his sister.”
I breathed deeply. Somehow, Linden made a point. “All right. Thanks.”
“Have you told her?”
“I can’t tell her about her father, Linden. I don’t know how, but I really wanted to. I can’t lie to her. Now that her nana is angry at her, I don’t want to break her heart.”
“I know you’re in a tough spot right now, but the truth will set you free.”
“I thought you didn’t want me to tell her.”
“You were right. I just feared that the truth would do more harm than good, but your marriage is what matters most.”
“Thanks.” I hung up the call and grabbed the decanter to pour a drink into the glass.
“So that’s what you’ve been hiding from me.”
I stiffened at her voice behind me. I turned to look at her. I should have waited until we left the hotel before talking to Linden. But I wasn’t even that loud, and I thought she was sleeping soundly after our fantastic sex.
Maverick came to sit on the armrest, only wearing a huge size of a hotel robe. Her toned leg was exposed, and I ran and dove my hand up her thigh.
“I talked to Linden that night and asked if he could help me with my father.”
“He told me because he found something.”
Her eyes instantly lit up. “What did he find?”
I sighed, making my lie more convincing. Fuck. I couldn’t believe I was doing this. “Your mother didn’t say anything. She said it was only a one-night stand. She did not know his name, and no one could remember the guy at the party.” I gripped her thigh as I looked at her disappointment. “I’m sorry, baby. I wish I had more good news.”
She smiled, cupping my face. “Thank you for telling me. It must have been hard for you to keep the secret so you wouldn’t disappoint me for the bad news.”
“I’ll ask other PIs to dig into your father. Your DNA could help.”
“No. No need. I don’t want to make my hopes up. Thanks for trying and for helping.”
“Anything for you, baby.”
We went back to bed, cuddling in silence, just us, listening to each other’s breathing and heartbeat.
“Do you really want to have a family?”
I kissed her shoulder. “Yes. One day. I want us to start a family when we’re ready.”
She chuckled. “Do you realize we have a contract?”
“You are my daily reminder, Maverick, but fuck the contract. It will be over in ten months, but our marriage has no expiration date unless you’re going to file a divorce.”
“Are you?”
I forced her to face me. When she met my gaze, I asked, “Are you going to divorce me when you got your money?”
“I don’t want the money anymore.” She looked sincere, but she deserved that money, which was part of the deal. I would send it to her bank account in full payment after ten months. “What we have right now seems real.”
“Seem?” I stared at her, and she stared back.
She rolled her eyes. “I feel it’s real. Do you?”
“Yes, beautiful. What we have for each other is real, including our marriage. You’re my wife, and I’d love to keep it that way.”
“Then it’s a deal.”
