“I should have been there to protect you at the dress shop. All those times I wasn’t there for you, and I hate myself over it.” He clenched his jaw, and my heart softened.
“Cian, no.” I walked over and wrapped my arms around his neck. “You can’t blame yourself for any of this. Please don’t do that to yourself.” My heart ached for him at that moment. I knew where his head was at. He wanted to be the protector, and not just of me, but of everyone he loved. It was one of the things I admired most about him. But he needed to know that it wasn’t his fault Ryzen had lost his fucking mind. Nor was it his responsibility to bear all the weight of Ryzen’s actions on his shoulders. “We’re a team. Don’t feel like you need to take any blame. The only person to blame is Ryzen. Besides, I can’t expect you to be my shadow for the rest of my life.”
“What if I want to be your shadow for the rest of your life?” Cian pressed his forehead against mine.
“You are more than my shadow, Daddy.” I grinned as he chuckled. “You are my entire damn world. We’ll get through this.” I brushed my lips against his. “Together.”
“I’m scared,” he whispered. The vulnerability he was showing at that moment brought tears to my eyes. “I’m so fucking terrified that he’ll try to take you away from me. I can’t… couldn’t fucking bear it. I would burn down the whole fucking world if I lost you again.”
“Shh,” I whispered against his lips. “Stop that. Nobody is taking me anywhere, ever again.”
His lips crashed into mine, our hands tugging at each other’s clothes in an instant. It felt like stars colliding, sparking an explosion of passion. I needed him to know how much I needed him, how much I loved him like no other.
I tugged him down the hallway, my lips only leaving his for a moment as I ripped my shirt and shorts off, then his. His skin warmed under my palms, and I dragged my nails gently down his back. This was how I needed him. Present, with me, at this moment. Not a train wreck of guilt over something he couldn’t control. My fingers grazed over his cock—thick, hard—and I moaned against his lips.
“See what you do to me, little star,” he growled. “I fucking need to be inside of you, now.”
I pushed him back onto the bed and climbed into his lap. I wanted to get lost in him, even if just for a few moments. My fingers weaved into his hair, bringing his head closer as I traced my tongue along his lower lip. He groaned, a powerful sound deep in his throat that had my pussy clenching. My lips moved lower as I rocked my hips slowly. “You want to fuck me, Mr. Blackwood?” I whispered into his ear, biting down on his earlobe. His hands clenched into fists as he tried to control himself. “You want to fill me up with that big, beautiful cock until I’m crying out your name?”
His chest heaved as I watched his last bit of control diminish. “Yes,” he grunted. He bucked his hips, gripping my sides so that my pussy was gliding over his cock. I threw my head back, gasping at the sensation. “Now fuck me like the good girl you are.”
I reached down and stroked the length of him between my spread legs. The head of his cock glistened as I gripped him harder, working my hand up and down. His jaw tensed and his eyes darkened as he watched me stroke him. God, he had the most beautiful cock I had ever seen. It was perfect, like it was made just for me. I dragged him across my pussy, coating his cock with my wetness. My entire body broke out in goose bumps at the way he growled when I teased my clit with the tip of him.
“Fuck,” he hissed between clenched teeth. “You’re torturing me.” His hips jerked up again, but I held steady, not letting him enter me just yet. I loved being in control at that moment. Normally Cian liked to be the one in control, and I was more than happy to let him. But there were times, times like this one, that I needed to remind him he wasn’t the only boss around here.
His forehead glistened with sweat as he gripped my ass tighter, trying his hardest to enter me. I couldn’t take it anymore, and I bit my bottom lip as I sank down onto him. “You feel so good.” I lifted my hips, throwing my head back as I slid back down. Slow, gentle. Just enough that I knew he was going to lose his mind at any moment. My entire body was on fire for him, loving the sensation of his skin against mine. Sweat trickled down my back, and my toes curled at the fullness of him.
He leaned forward, licking between my breasts. God, his mouth was warm. It just made me crave him even more. I wanted—no, needed—to be consumed by him. My whole body was humming as his teeth dragged against my sensitive skin. He latched on to my nipple, and I cried out as he sucked. I worked my hips in a circle, needing to feel every inch of him. To be fucking consumed by him. He smacked my ass, my skin stinging. Then again, and again. The look in his eyes told me everything I needed to know. His calloused hands dug into my flesh as he lifted me, then slammed me down, making me cry out. There he was. My unhinged, ready-to-fuck-me-into-oblivion love of my life.
“Ride that cock, my queen. Show me how well you can take it,” he growled as he thrust up. My pussy clenched at his words, and I wanted nothing more than to please him. I tangled my fingers in his hair, jerking his head back as I rocked my hips back and forth, picking up speed. The room echoed with the sound of our grunts and skin slapping against each other’s. I threw my head back, my hair brushing against his knees as I rode him. My body buzzed with pleasure, and when he wrapped his hand gently around my throat, I thought I would explode.
“Look at me, Nova,” he demanded, and my eyes snapped back to his. He applied pressure slightly, and I panted at the feral look in his eyes. “Let me see those beautiful blue eyes as you fuck me.”
My nails dug into his shoulders as I rode him, his other hand coming up over my breast. He tugged on my nipple, and I moved my hips faster. Pleasure was running through every vein in my body like a blazing fire, and I never wanted the feeling to end. My vision started to become cloudy, and I gasped when he released me, sucking in as much air as possible.
He gripped the flesh of my ass as he slammed me down. It was like we were both possessed. Unable to get enough of each other. He leaned forward, biting down gently on my nipple, making me cry out in pleasure as he sucked, then moved to the other one. I was unraveling, and quickly. His hand moved between my ass cheeks until he found my asshole, rubbing as I rode his cock. I thought I might explode at the sensation as he teased me there, sliding his finger around and around.
“This is all mine,” he groaned out hoarsely. “This pussy, this ass is mine to fucking take.”
“Yes, Mr. Blackwood.” I whimpered as his finger slid in slowly, pumping in and out of my ass as I rode him. The sensation had me crying out, feeling completely full of him. “More, more,” I panted. Waves of pleasure ran through me, and I felt weightless.
“Such a good fucking girl.” That was all it took from him before I began to completely unravel, unable to recognize the sounds escaping my mouth. A tingle ran up my spine all the way to the top of my head. My orgasm was building with each thrust, and when his lips crashed into mine, I lost it. I cried out, and he swallowed every last whimper of pleasure with the stroke of his tongue. He picked up speed, my body shaking uncontrollably as he thrust into me with no remorse until he roared out his release.
I collapsed on top of him, our chests heaving as we both tried to catch our breath. Fucking electric. That was the only way to describe it. Our skin was covered in sweat, and I didn’t want to move from this position. He kissed up my jaw, to my mouth.
His eyes were warm with affection as he stroked his thumb across my cheek. “I love you so fucking much,” he murmured.
“I love you more,” I whispered against his lips. And I meant it. My heart was bursting for him, and I wanted to hang on to this feeling for the rest of my life.

“Thanks, everyone. Remember, eyes and ears open and let one of us know right away if you see anything suspicious.” I stood from my seat and leaned my palms on the conference room table. “I appreciate all of you.” Everyone in the room nodded, most employees offering me a smile or a thumbs-up in encouragement.
I was spent after our third team meeting of the day. Juliet and I had decided to do them in groups so if anyone had questions, they wouldn’t feel overwhelmed being in a room with over thirty other employees. We’d started first with all the managers and team leaders in the store and warehouse, then the warehouse staff, and now the sales associates.
It had been Cian’s idea to let everyone know that the situation with Ryzen was possibly escalating. Not to cause fear, but so that people would be more aware of their surroundings. Look out for any suspicious people who shouldn’t be there, or, God forbid, weird packages left unattended. We couldn’t forget that Ryzen and Riddick had been the ones who had blown up our previous warehouse. Not that I thought they would do anything like that again—I would never put my employees in danger like that. It was just a precaution. Juliet and I had even offered for people to take paid time off if they felt uneasy being at the Shiver Box. Most of them had scoffed and shaken their heads, a few of them jokingly saying they would kick Ryzen’s ass if he tried to show up.
It was like a big family here. Everyone looked out for each other. Juliet and I had personally interviewed and hired every single person employed at our company because we wanted to make sure they were the right fit, not just for us, but for the other people on the team. They all knew about my history; it wasn’t a secret, nor did we act like it was. It made us feel better to be open and honest with our employees, to build trust. It was a great group of people, and I felt like a million bucks having their support.
