The last few months flash across my mind in a spinning carousel of brightly colored images and powerful emotions. Before Maisy, my existence was meaningless, utterly devoid of life. Everything changed the moment her glaring light illuminated the bleak shadows in which I existed.
I can’t lose my little fox.
“Fuck it.” I close the distance between us in one long stride and fisting Maisy’s hair, I force her mouth to mine.
CHAPTER 29
INSIDE ME
Maisy
Nico’s tongue pushes past my clenched teeth, his entire body blanketing mine in a blur of hard planes and black ink. My brain tells me to stop, to push him off, but my stupid heart tells it to shut up. Because Nico is kissing me. Of all the tempting things this man has done since he forced himself into my life, nothing prepared me for this.
Despite his tongue being inside me only days ago, there’s nothing more intimate than this kiss. The way his hand tangles in my hair, the way his lips perfectly mold to mine. It’s not sweet or gentle, it’s rough and desperate but dang it, it’s got my heart in a chokehold.
He takes a step forward, pushing me against the closet wall, and his tattooed arms cage me in. “You will never say no to me again,” he hisses against my swollen lips.
I open my mouth to reply, but he cuts me off with another fiery kiss.
Clearly my brain is severely concussed because the neurons aren’t firing as they should. Maybe I should have gone to the hospital. I can’t even put together a complete sentence with his tongue tangling with mine and his arousal digging into my belly. He’s hard again, moisture dripping from the tip and seeping into my silk blouse.
That’ll be an embarrassing stain to explain at the dry cleaners.
I allow my hands to wander the unyielding planes of his back, moving slowly over the puckered flesh. Squeezing my eyes closed, I picture the giant phoenix tattoo and the dark, tortured past it conceals.
I’m so swept up in the moment that I nearly forget my ultimatum. The errant thought is like ice through my scorching veins. Smacking my palms to his chest, I push free of his overpowering hold.
“Wait,” I mutter. “I can’t do this, Nico. Nothing has changed…”
His eyes lock on mine, the blue so profound I just want to get lost in it forever. “I’ll try,” he murmurs.
“Excuse me?” I blurt because I’m certain I’m hearing things.
His lips thin before he releases an exasperated breath. “I’ll try to do what you want.”
“To give up your plot to destroy Dante and Luca?”
His head slowly dips, but his eyes never leave mine.
“For real?”
The hint of a smile curves his lips. “I will agree not to purposely set out to ruin King Industries, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let them step all over the Geminis either. If they start something, I will retaliate.”
I swallow hard, considering. If I can just get Rose to speak to me, I know we can find a way to make this work. She can keep Dante in check, and hopefully I can bribe Nico with sexual favors. The brothers are family after all. Okay, so I don’t see cute double dates in our future, but at least they could be civil to each other. A hint of hope kindles in my chest.
“And of course your sweet little pussy will be my prize.” A beaming smile flashes across Nico’s handsome face, and I’m sure it’s the biggest grin I’ve ever seen on the moody mob boss.
“We’ll see about that.”
He leans closer, pressing his palms on either side of my head against the wall. His lips are only a heartbeat from my own. “That part is non-negotiable, little fox.” That smile turns feral as he glances between our bodies. The top two buttons of my blouse have come undone, revealing the swell of my breasts. He lets out an appreciative growl and his hand slides off the wall, down my shoulder, over my hip and finds the hem of my skirt. He jerks it up to my waist, and all the air catches in my throat.
“Swear to me, Nico,” I rasp out.
“I swear I’ll back off the Kings.” His hand glides down to the apex of my thighs, and an embarrassing whimper escapes. “Mmm, that’s my good girl, you’re already soaked and ready for me.” He tugs my thong to the side and runs his finger across my throbbing center.
Freaking heck do I want this. I want this so badly, but I’m terrified what will happen once I give into him.
His finger finds that aching bundle of nerves, and he begins to circle. “Cazzo, little fox, I’ve been dreaming about this moment since the day I saw those pouty lips and big green eyes staring up at me in that dark container. I remember thinking that asshole Jasper never deserved you. And if I ever had a woman like you, I’d show her what it felt like to be worshipped.”
