Chapter Fifty-Three

Sooner or later trouble knocks.

I held the ice pack to Mian’s jaw, and pretended I didn’t feel like an asshole for what I did to her as soon as Lucas carried Anna out the door.

“I want your mouth.”

“Wel,l you’re not going to get it.” It was amusing to watch her backing away at the same time trying to sound in control.

“All right, I feel like playing. This one is a classic. You’re going to hide. If I don’t find you in five minutes, I’ll consider the consequence of last night paid.”

She didn’t look like she was buying it. “What’s the catch?”

My smile disarmed her completely. “If I do find you, I get your mouth… and the rest of you.”

“What if I don’t want to play?” she challenged.

I shook my head because she knew better. “Time’s already ticking, Sprite.”

When I woke up this morning and felt her ass nuzzled against my cock, I couldn’t help wanting to do things to her that would make a God fearing lady clutch her pearls. But then I remembered what had happened hours before, and I couldn’t stop my hand from flying. I slapped her ass hard enough to wake her and then put her on her knees.

Now that I wasn’t thinking with my dick and controlled by my need to dominate her, I needed answers. Starting with where she’d gotten my mother’s gun. The doorbell rang while I switched the ice pack to her other jaw. I peppered kisses down her available neck and ignored the doorbell when it rang again. “We need to talk.”

“Aren’t you going to get that?” She sounded horny and nervous at the same time, and I resisted the urge to smile.

“No.”

“I think my jaw is fine now. I’m moving my mouth, and words are coming out.” I leaned down to kiss her when I felt movement on my right. Lucas stood in the doorway watching us. He’d been quiet since I told him we were freeing Anna. I expected him to fight me on it, but he didn’t. He even volunteered to take her. His eyes have been vacant ever since, and at the same time, I think he was relieved she wasn’t around to tempt him anymore.

“What’s up, man?”

“Cops.”
