stop overthinking for one minute? Just for a minute. Tell me what you want.”
Her forehead creased with a tensed line. I kissed down her throat, and she gave me an involuntarily shudder. Her throat bobbed, as she swallowed hard, then my kiss whispered over the throbbing veins on the side of her neck, feeling her heartbeat against my lips. “Stop overthinking.”
My head lowered to her chest; her bare tits were a very tempting sight. The white and pink jagged lines between the two heavy mounds called to me. I lightly touched her scars with my mouth, kissing her past away with silent promises.
I knew Lila was scared of feeling too much, scared of losing the people who mattered to her. She kept her heart locked in a silver cage behind her chest, like an Ice Queen.
Too late, though, I had already broken through her barriers. I just needed her to accept it now.
Lila whimpered the moment my lips touched her scars, her nails digging into my shoulders, and I groaned at the sharp sting. “Don’t,” she said, letting out a soft cry. “It’s ugly. Stop, Maddox.”
My sweet, sweet Lila. Fierce and fragile. She wasn’t weak; she was never weak. But she was vulnerable.
I let my kiss linger over her scars, feeling the jagged, bumpy lines under my lips. “You’re so beautiful. You don’t even know what you do to me, Lila.”
Her nipples hardened at my rough voice, and her skin flushed. I cupped her breast in my palm and brought my mouth to its puckered nipple. Lila let out a soft mewl, as my lips wrapped around the little bud.
“You are so perfect,” I breathed against her flesh. Goosebumps flashed across her skin, and she trembled in my arms.
My teeth grazed her nipple, and I bit down gently. Lila rewarded me with a gasp and then a fevered moan. I knew I had her exactly where I wanted her. She was trying hard to concentrate on her thoughts, but when I started sucking on her tits, she arched her back. Her hands came to my head, almost frantic in her need, and she pulled at my hair, crying out my name.
“What do you want?” I asked, my voice thick with desire.
When she didn’t give me a verbal response, I switched to her other breast and gave it the same attention. At my sharp bite, her nipple swelled in my mouth, and her back bowed off the bed.
“You,” Lila breathed.
I smiled, before sucking on the pink swollen bud, chasing the sting away. I was finally in her head.
“What do you want, Lila?” I asked again.
“Maddox,” she whimpered, “hurry, please.”
“Answer me.”
Her legs hiked up, and her ankles hooked below my ass. There was an urgency in her voice now when she spoke. “You.”
My head lowered further, licking and nipping her taut stomach. I swirled my tongue around her cute belly button. She clutched the back of my head, a small impatient sound echoing from the back of her throat. “What do you want?”
“YOU!” Lila screamed, almost brokenly. “Oh God. You. Maddox, you. Goddamn it, I want you!”
I smiled, feeling the urge to beat my chest like a caveman. Lila Garcia was officially mine.
Raising my head, I regarded her with a look of triumph. “I dare you to be my girlfriend, little dragon.”
Her eyes grew darker than before and flashed, like molten lava – mixed with lust, fear and annoyance. “Yes,” she hissed.
I lowered my head between the apex of her thighs and buried my face in her heavenly scent. She was wet, hot and ready. I licked her slit and circled her throbbing clit.
“Just fuck me already,” Lila growled, her hips grinding into my face, hard. Her pussy was practically smothering me, and I loved every bit of it.
“Gladly.”
Mine.

Lila
The moment Maddox fell asleep beside me, I sneaked out. No, I wasn’t running away. But I needed to breathe, without him stealing away all my breath, to think, without having him distract me with his touch, his mouth… his very impressive, very distracting cock.
I knew he didn’t play fair. He never did, but Mr. Coulter was such a dirty player. Using sex to turn me soft and have me sidetracked. Every. Single. Time.
I wasn’t exactly complaining… but I needed some time away from Maddox.
And I needed my friend. She’d be able to help me process these past seven days.
I found Riley on the couch when I walked into our apartment. Her head snapped up at the sound, and she gave me a curious
