“Bad girl,” he murmurs into my ear.

He slides his fingers from my damp depths, and raises them up, pressing them against my lips.

“Open,” he orders.

I do as he asks, and he slips two fingers into my mouth. His fingers are big, and rough, and they taste like me. I suck on them, wrenching a ragged groan from his lips. He slips them from my lips, and I hear him shift about, then he takes my hands and lowers them, pulling them behind my back.

“I don’t believe you’re not concealing something. We need to continue this search while you’re detained.”

“I don’t have anything,” I protest.

“We’ll see about that.”

He takes me over to his desk, and he pushes my front down. My hands are cuffed behind my back. I feel his boots edge between my legs, and kick my feet apart, so I’m spread-eagled with my ass in the air. My heart picks up. The idea of playing a game like this with him excites me. I feel my throat constrict as I try to smother my moans of pleasure. I feel his hand run down my back, stopping at my ass. He cups it again, his fingers biting into my flesh.

“What about in here?”

Oh God.

No one has ever gone there.

“Answer me, girl,” he orders, his voice hard, rough, and sexy as hell.

“No...no, there’s nothing in there.”

“You ever had someone touch you here?”

I squirm, and he chuckles softly. “A sweet virgin ass. Do you know what I want to do to you now?”

I shake my head, biting my lip. He leans down, putting his lips beside my ear. “I want to fuck you there. I want to slide my cock deep inside you until you scream my name.”

I gasp, and turn my head, meeting his eyes.

“You want that, Cricket? Do you want me to put my cock in your sweet ass?”

“I do-do-don’t...”

Smack!

His hand comes down over my ass cheek, and I squeal loudly.

“Answer me properly,” he breathes. “Do you want my cock in your ass?”

I shake my head, confused. I don’t know if I want him there. I’ve never had anyone there before, and the idea of having him fuck me there, kind of scares me.

“Is that a no?”

“That’s a no...for now,” I whisper.

He leans down again, and I can feel his warm breath against my ear. “You scared to say no to me, baby?”

I shake my head quickly.

“I think that’s a lie.”

Smack!

His hand slaps my bottom again. I mewl loudly, and push my ass back into his jeans. I feel his cock graze against me.

“Do I scare you, Cricket?”

“No, Axel,” I say in a small, meek voice.

“Do you trust me?”

“No...Axel.”

He stiffens behind me, and the room falls silent for a moment. I don’t want to lie to him, because the truth is that I don’t entirely trust him. After the things he did to me, I can’t fully believe he won’t do more. If I let go, if I believe that this is all perfect and dandy after one session, then I am an idiot. Axel has problems that run far too deep for a few good sex sessions to cure.

“Well,” he says, his voice barely above a whisper, “you will.”

I make a mmm sound with my lips, and he’s silent a moment. I hear the sound of his belt buckle being undone, and then I hear his zipper. My body tightens in anticipation. I want him to fuck me like this. Restrained. A captive to him. He slowly removes my panties, and I hear the USB drop onto the floor. He doesn’t move for it, instead he takes hold of the cuffs and pulls them, jerking my body up and into his.

“How do you want this? Rough and hard, or soft and slow?”

“Both,” I purr, thrusting my ass back into his groin.

“I like a challenge.”

He pushes me back down onto the desk, and then I feel him behind me, his cock pressing against my damp entrance. He takes hold of my hands and pulls them, all while slowly sliding his cock deep inside me. I make a strangled, pleasured sound as he buries himself to the hilt. Then he sits there, not moving, just letting me feel the fullness that is overwhelming my body right now.

“Do you like my dick rings, Cricket?” he growls.

“Y-y-yes,” I moan. “Please, Axel, move...”

He laughs, and it’s a deep, throaty sound. He slides his cock out of my eager depths, and then he plunges back in, quick and nasty. I cry out, throwing my head back and bucking against him. He drives into me like that three or four times, pulling out and plunging back in, then he slows, and begins lazily dragging his cock in and out. Then he stops.

I hiss, and squirm. “Why are you stopping?”

“You wanted both. I’m giving you both.”

“Goddammit, Axel,” I grind out between clenched teeth. “Fuck me, hard, fast, deep...make me come.”

“That’s more like it.”

He pumps his hips, starting off with a slow, but firm rhythm, and then he picks up his pace until his balls are slapping against my ass, and the sounds coming from both of us sound more like animals in heat then two people fucking. He’s grunting, and every now and then, my name slides from his lips. I’m screaming, and moaning, and squirming. Pleasure is swirling in my core, ready to erupt.

“Come on,” he moans, his voice tight. “Come on, Cricket...”

It takes a few more thrusts, and I’m sent over that blissful edge. I scream his name as my body jerks with rush after rush of intense pleasure. Axel works me until I stop trembling, then he pulls out, repeating the same process as yesterday. He spins me around, lowering me, and then he thrusts his cock into my mouth.

“Fuck, suck it,” he bellows. “Suck my dick.”

God, hearing a man talk so dirty has my entire body warming for him again. I take all of him, swallowing him down, and relishing in the feeling of his cock swelling, before he spurts his release into my mouth. His groans fill the room, and I realize his fingers are tangled painfully in my hair as he uses my head to drive his thrusts. When he’s done, he slowly pulls out, and stares down at me, his eyes wild.

“You look so fuckin’ perfect down there, on your knees, lookin’ up at me with those innocent-as-fuck eyes.”

“I’m not innocent, Axel,” I mumble, not taking my eyes from his.

“You are, Cricket. If you fucked me the way I need to be fucked, it’d break you.”

I shake my head. “You don’t know what would break me. Not even I know that.”

He shakes his head, and pulls his jeans up, before leaning down and taking my arms, pulling me up. He turns me around, and uncuffs me. While his chest is pressed against my back, I think about how our sex continues to end...without him coming inside me. He has to come with his cock in my mouth, and curiosity has me blurting out, “Why don’t you come in me, Axel?”

He stops moving behind me, and he’s silent for a long moment.

“Because, Cricket, that’s the kind of fucked up I am. I have never, nor will I ever, come inside a woman. I don’t trust them enough. I refuse to give them that part of me.”

He thinks coming inside me is a weakness.

My heart hurts just that much more for him.

AXEL

I stare down at her, sleeping, her brown hair fanning out against the pillow as she breathes softly. I lift my hand, and run my fingers through my hair, feeling like a weight is sitting heavily on my chest. I shouldn’t be doing this. I’m playing with fire. A girl like her, she doesn’t deserve scum like me. She deserves only the best, but I’m letting her get in, and that shouldn’t be happening.

This isn’t how this is meant to go down.

She’ll never understand what kind of shit runs through my head. She’ll never understand that the reason I don’t come in her sweet depths is because I can’t. Me showing that kind of weakness isn’t something I’ve ever wanted to let myself do. I’ve never wanted to give a woman a moment where she sees I’ve lost my control. The only way I can find release is in her mouth. Seeing her kneel before me, it gives me a feeling of dominance, like I’m not weak, like I’m not completely fucked up.

I turn and walk from the room. I head back to my office, and slam the door behind me when I get in. I slump down in the chair, and stare at the desk. There’s paper everywhere, because I bent her over it, and fucked her...hard. Damned hard. She liked it. She’s got a dark side, and I don’t want to delve into it, because then I’ll let myself believe that maybe something can happen between us.

But it can’t.

It won’t.

“Yo, Pres,” Cobra says, walking into the room. “How’s things?”

I lift my eyes, and give him an intense expression. “Fuckin’ great.”

“Yeah, somehow I think you’re pullin’ my chain, boss. What’s goin’ on?”

“Nothin’,” I grunt.

“Has it got something to do with how hard you just fucked Meadow in here?”

I snap my head up, and shoot daggers at him. “What the fuck did you say?”

“No offense meant, boss, but the entire club heard her screamin’ your name.”

Fuck.

Shit.

I put my head in my hands, and growl loudly. “This is fucked up.”

“You two...a thing now?”

I jerk at his words, and begin shaking my head. “Fuck. No. I can’t be...we can’t be. Shit, I’ve gotten myself in deep, man, fuckin’ deep.”

“You care about her, boss?”

I can’t answer that, because the answer is pointless. It makes no difference to how this has to end. Caring, or not caring, either way she has to go. She can’t be here in all this fucked-up bullshit. It’s not where a girl like her is meant to be. She’s spent her life around lies, and she doesn’t even know it. She lost her mom at an early age, and she lost her dad pretty soon after. She’s been running since then, trying to protect something she doesn’t even fully understand.

Hell, I bet the girl has never even been to a party.

And that shit is partly my fault. I can’t keep holding her back. As soon as Beast has been dealt with, I’m letting her go. Hell, if there was a way I could let her go sooner, I would...

I stare down at my hands. There is one person who could take care of her until all this is sorted, but I don’t know if she’s willing to do it. I look up just as the door opens, and Colt comes in. I meet his gaze.

“Colt, I got somethin’ for you to do.”

He narrows his eyes, and crosses his big arms across his chest. “What’s that? If it’s got somethin’ to do with hurtin’ Meadow, you can forget it.”

“Stop your bullshit, and listen to me. I need you to go into my office, and get my phone, scroll through until you find a number with the title Lady Matilda. Get it, dial it, tell her I’m bringing someone to see her tonight.”

Colt raises his brows. “Lady Matilda?”

“Yeah,” I grunt, turning and meeting Cobra’s confused expression. “Lady Matilda.”

MEADOW

My entire body is on fire. Everything I touch is sensitive. My lips are swollen, my breasts are full and achy, and my pussy is still damp from having Axel deep inside me. I feel my body shiver as I step underneath the shower, feeling the cool water wash down over my overheated body. If you asked me what the hell just went down in there, I’d tell you I have no idea, but it was fucking hot.

So damned hot.

I fill my palm with soap, rubbing my hands together before pressing my palms over my breasts, lathering them up. I keep thinking about Axel and why he won’t allow himself to show that kind of pleasure to a woman. It’s like he’s keeping it so alpha, so male. Maybe he’s afraid of getting one pregnant, and not being in the right place to deal with it—not that he even asked to use a condom. Thinking of that has my heart picking up a few paces. I hope he’s clean...I mean...what if he’s not?

God, what the hell was I thinking, just letting him screw me like that?

I push the thought from my mind, adding it to the many things I have to ask him while I’m here. I close my eyes, lathering my hair up, and I am taken back to the feeling of having his hands on me, his cock deep inside me, his lips on mine. My pussy clenches, and I find myself sliding my fingers down and over my sensitive nipples. A small moan escapes my lips as I pinch the hard buds, and then slip my fingers down lower, gently spreading my folds.

“If you’re gonna put your fingers inside that sweet pussy, I’m watching, darlin’.”

I jerk my head up, and see Axel standing at the bathroom door, wearing only a pair of faded black jeans. I move my fingers from my throbbing sex, and turn my eyes away quickly. “I was just...ah...washing...”

“That was some pretty fuckin’ seductive washing. If you wash yourself like that every night, I’m not gettin’ out of this shower.”
