MAVERICK
We woke up at the same time, yet nobody wanted to get up. I was cocooned in his solid arms and didn’t mind keeping it that way for a while.
I’d been through hell. I still felt the goosebumps all over my skin and the rising of hair at the back of my neck every time that horror visited my head. But as people always say, life must go on. Move on and live your life to the fullest.
“What’s on your mind?” He snapped me out of my reverie.
“Grateful for another day.”
He kissed my shoulder. “Me, too, baby.”
“I don’t get nightmares, but every time I thought about it, it gave me chill, dread, and made me paranoid sometimes.”
“I think it’s normal to feel that way. We’ll see a doctor if it makes you feel better and safe.”
“A shrink?” I stiffened, my tummy tensing. “I don’t like sharing my life’s story. I’m more comfortable sharing it with you. Please, don’t talk me out of it. If I feel worse, I will volunteer myself.”
“Of course, baby. I would never do that unless you will harm yourself. I was merely suggesting.”
“Thank you.”
“No. Thank you for not giving up on us.”
“It’s hard to give up to an awesome dick.”‘
He laughed out loud, hurting my ears. “That’s the only thing you missed, huh?”
“Hard not to. Dildo didn’t feel the same.”
“You’re kidding.” He forced me to face him and looked me in the eye. “You got my dick’s replacement already? Well, that was fast.” Lake wasn’t insulted. In fact, there was a humor in his eyes.
“It didn’t feel right, so I threw it at Nana’s neighbor’s lawn.”
“You mean it didn’t fit right.” He smirked- his signature confident smirk. “I know you only came back for my dick. It shows what happened earlier.”
“Oh, really? Says the guy who only lasted for thirty seconds.”
He laughed again. “It was more than thirty seconds. Says the woman who came first.”
“Because you told me to.”
“How do you come fast if I don’t know what I’m doing?”
“Okay, cowboy. I get it, you have an awesome dick, and you know my body and you’re experience in bed, but don’t let it get into your head. You are dispensable.”
“What the fuck did you just say?” His eyes narrowed, his hands came to my side and started tickling me.
I yelped in surprise, curling and twisting in bed, but he didn’t stop.
“Take it back, Maverick.” He came on top of me, pinning me in bed until I lost my strength to fight back. “Take it back.”
“I’m going to pee if you won’t stop.” I giggled and laughed, tears rolling down from the corner of my eyes.
“Take it back. Say you don’t mean it.” He grabbed my wrists and pinned them on my sides, and neither of us would give up control, but I knew for a fact I was losing it.
“It’s true, though.” I writhed and wiggled to break free, but it was useless. I couldn’t even lift my head. He was so strong, but his grip was not enough to hurt or bruise me.
Lake wasn’t bulky but heavy with pure muscles, and we were both naked in bed. My chest was exposed, and her dick was pressed between my thighs. Every move I made sent a shiver down my spine, and my clit began throbbing, my chest rising and falling. I knew he felt it, and he knew I was starting to be aroused. I saw it in his eyes and felt it in his growing cock.
I spread my thighs to initiate and welcome him, and he instantly understood what I wanted.
He dipped his head down and captured my breast with his hot mouth.
A moan escaped my throat instantly, and I started rocking my hips against his.
He sucked me harder, and I moaned louder. The moment I lifted my leg, hooked it on his back, he slid his monstrous cock inside me. It took one thrust and then another to feel his length inside me, filling me, stretching me. It felt so good I couldn’t resist, so full, and seared me in pleasure.
Then he finally let go of my hands and made love with me. My hands were exploring, digging into his skin. He kissed me deeply, passionately, loving me slowly, taking his time.
My body completely surrendered. It was pure love, passionate, giving me all the tingles and pleasure exploding all over my body. I felt like I was flying in the clouds.
Delirious in so much pleasure, my incoherent moans became louder, my body fiery hot. I grew even wetter as he thrust into me, in and out in such precise strokes.
Lake kissed my forehead and grunted loudly. He knew I was so close, so my inner muscles began clenching around him until I broke the kiss free.
“Babe.” I was breathing so hard that my body quaked as my orgasm slammed into my system, exploding out of me.
***
“Bitch!”
I gasped, and my hand went instantly on my right cheek. It was supposed to hit hard with that kind of slap filled with fury and rage, but it didn’t happen.
Releasing a shuddering breath, I put my hand down and stared at Leah in utter shock. Homer pinned her wrist.
Her face was red in anger as she tried hard to break free her arm from Homer’s grip. “Let me go! I will sue you of assault.”
Homer snorted. “Or my client will sue your ass instead.”
My anger boiled inside me, and my first thought was to slap her back, but I realized I was better than this bitch, and we were in a public place.
“You’re lucky I won’t sue you, but if you ever do that again, make sure you do it hard because if I hit you back, I will make sure you won’t have the same face again.” I nodded at Homer to release her.
The security guard arrived, taking Leah from Homer. “Are you okay, ma’am?”
“Yeah.”
Once she was gone, I blew a shaky breath, trying to digest what had just happened and why everyone wanted to hurt me.
“I apologize for what happened. I hope that incident won’t give you a bad impression of our shop.”
I put a small smile on my face at the salesperson as I grabbed another blouse and gave it to her.
“It wasn’t your fault. I didn’t even see her coming in. I’ll take this one too.”
I wasn’t supposed to go shopping, but Lake pushed me out while he was working, so I almost had a broken face.
I caught Homer talking on the phone, and my gut twisted. He was probably reporting the incident to his boss.
“That’s all,” I informed the sales clerk and gave her the card.
I went to Homer once he was done talking. “Let me guess. You reported it to Lake.”
“No, ma’am. Osmium is taking Leah Cox for questioning.”
My eyes narrowed. “You can’t just abduct someone for interrogation. That’s aggression. They can sue your ass.”
“You are our client, and we do our duty diligently.”
“My ass.” I rolled my eyes
The sales clerk came and gave me the bags and my card. “Thank you for shopping with us, ma’am.”
Homer took them from her and gave me my card. “Where to next?”
“After what happened, I’d rather stay home and eat ice cream.”
“Let’s go buy some ice cream then.”
“I want to do my grocery. Maybe I will cook dinner.”
“That’s a good idea. Boss would love that.”
Just as I got in the backseat, my phone rang. I buckled my seatbelt before I grabbed my phone and answered Lake.
“Hey.”
“What took you so long to answer?” He sounded so pissed. I could even see his nose flaring as he waited for me to pick up the call.
I breathed deeply before I replied. “When my phone rang, I slid into the backseat. Then I secured my seatbelt, grabbed my phone in my bag, and pressed the green button. Does my answer satisfy you, your honor?”
I heard him blow a breath. “Are you okay?”
“Your people. These people you hired are nosy. What else do they report back to you? Does it include me going to the bathroom? How many minutes do I blow dry my hair, and how many steps do I make until I reach the door? That sort of thing.”
“Baby, please. Are you okay?”
I stayed silent for a moment to contemplate. “Yeah. I’m okay. They took Leah into Osmium.”
“She almost slapped you if not Homer was around. Why do you still sound so concerned about her well-being?”
“She’s probably a victim of this. She probably doesn’t know why Heath is in jail. At the same time, it gives me chill thinking how I dated that guy for five months.” I shook my head in disbelief and horror.
“I’m so sorry, baby.”
“I want to talk to Leah.”
