Corruption - Leigh Lennon Page 0,60
our lives a living hell. But with Maddox’s arms around me, it’s not my concern. Because as long as I have him, I know I’ll always be safe and cared for.
My eyes adjust to the light peeking in from the hallway as the bed dips, and Maddox’s familiar fingers dance against my bare stomach. I’d fallen asleep on the way back to the club, and Eve helped me get settled in the one-bedroom apartment Maddox keeps for himself. I didn’t think I’d be able to fall asleep without Maddox, but I was so tired.
“Hey, gem, I hoped I wouldn’t wake you.”
My eyes narrow in on the alarm clock on the other side of the bed. “Wow, it took you a long time, Master.” The clock reads five a.m., and when he crawls into bed next to me, I push my backside into him, and through his boxers, I can feel his erection waken.
“After everything that’s happened tonight, all I want to do is sink myself into you, gem.”
Replying with a mewl, I move over to my back where his face is over mine, and it’s the first time he realizes I’m fully naked. “I wanted you to have a little surprise when you crawled into bed, Master.”
His lips hover over mine as his hand parts my legs. His fingers sink into my pussy while the pad of his thumb rubs my clit. “Is there more of a surprise than you naked, gem?”
My voice seeps from my lips, and in a sensual whisper, I answer, “Yes, Master, there’s much more—you having me any way you want me.”
His Adam’s apple constricts like my words make it hard for him to swallow correctly. And as he enters me, he doesn’t have to work too hard because, like all parts of my body, I’m ready for Maddox.
“This is different, my precious gem, because you’re different. And because I own your body, I’m making love to you.”
“I can’t believe this is real, or that you love me. It’s so surreal, that I’m number one finally in someone else’s world.” I need to hear him say it one more time to make sure I’m not dreaming.
I never believed Maddox could affect me anymore than he has, but when I least expect it, he leaves me breathless, and my heart expands for everything this man over me is in my life.
“Jewel, I think I started loving you the first time we were together. Maybe it’s when I found out you saved yourself for me, or maybe it was in the heated gazes we tried to deny. But, yeah, I’m as surprised as anyone.” He’s rushing his words, but there’s no denying the heat flashing in his eyes.
His hands capture my wrists, his face brightens while he pins me with his heated eyes. “Master,” I call out to him.
“Right now, I’m just a man who loves you, precious.”
He’s given me something more at this moment. I see the young man who had been destroyed by a woman he loved. He lets me see into the real him, not the arrogant Dom or the man who I love to flog my body or push me.
This is the man who comes to me, scared of giving me all of him, but he does it anyway. “Maddox,” I begin, and he nods his head, “I’m so in love with you. You’ve saved me, and I can’t quite express what you loving me does.”
“It’s okay, gem, you can show me.” His lower lip trembles, and this tells me how much he trusts me. I still give him all the control because he needs it. He comes to me, but instead of covering my lips with his, he nibbles on my upper lip, his hand stroking my torso, from my hip bone all the way to my nipples, twisting them both. He keeps this assault on my body, his teeth biting me gently. The pain and pleasure collide, and I writhe under his strokes.
“I need your fingers on my cock. I need your touch on my skin, gem.”
My hands reach for his erection, taking the lubricant as I stroke the entire length from the tip all the way down to his balls. “Ohhh, precious.” His invitation spurs me to take my free hand, and I rake it through his thick black hair.
“Oh, I love your touch. I need it more than I ever needed anything.” I believe him because it’s the best way to summarize the same thing that swirling around in my
