“Why’d you leave me?” I ground my palm into her clit while slipping in a second finger.
A sob tore out of her, her body shuddering. “I didn’t have a choice!”
Finally, we were getting somewhere. “You always have a choice.” I curled my fingers toward her g-spot.
Crying. “I didn’t. I didn’t. I couldn’t!” She was sobbing fully at this point and I withdrew my fingers and kissed her neck softly. I carefully pulled out of her and gathered her in my arms. I maneuvered her on the mattress until we were laying down on our sides.
“Shh,” I murmured, pulling her against me. I draped her leg over my hip and angled her hips so I could slip back inside her pussy. Only when I was fully seated again, did I wrap my arms around her and pull her against my chest. “Why, Maya?”
She shook her head vehemently, sobs choking her breath. “I can’t say—Nic I can’t! I can’t!”
“Shhh.”
“I’m sorry, I’m so, so sorry.” She sobbed harder, clutching me tighter.
I snapped my hips against hers, thrusting deeper, reminding her that I was still rock-hard inside her.
She cried out.
I rolled her on to her back and resumed my pace. I captured her lips in a watery kiss, as I swiveled my hips against hers.
“Please, please,” she begged.
“That’s it, baby. Come for me.” I picked up my pace.
“Nico!” she screamed as her cunt clamped down around my cock.
I fucked her through her orgasm all while my own built within me, my balls tightening. I groaned low in my throat as I rocked my hips against hers one more time, before I shuddered as myorgasm rolled through me. “Fuck.” I dropped to my elbows, hovering above her, while I caught my breath.
Maya’s hands were wrapped around my waist, loosely sliding over my sweaty skin. Her eyes were closed as she lay there quietly catching her breath. She looked utterly beautiful, fully fucked out of her mind, lax and carefree.
“You love me?” I spoke the words softly, but with conviction.
Her eyes flipped open. The emotion I saw in her amber depths made my breath catch in my throat. “Yes. I never stopped loving you. I will always love you.” Her voice was raw, scratchy from her sobs.
“I love you too, Maya. I always have and always will.”
Tears welled in her eyes again. “I’m so sorry.”
“Tell me why, baby. Who’s threatening you?”
She immediately started shaking her head. My heart broke watching her become so completely distressed and succumb to her fear. “No, no. Please, Nico. Please, don’t ask me. I’m sorry. I can’t tell you-I can’t, I can’t.”
“Shh. It’s alright baby. Shh. I’ve got you.”
“I can’t Nic, I can’t. Please.”
“It’s ok, it’s ok. You don’t have to tell me. It’s alright. I’ve got you.” I slid out of her and laid down next to her. Pulling her into my arms, I whispered reassurance as I held her close. Eventually Maya’s sobs tapered off and her breathing evened out as she fell asleep in my arms.
I sighed and ran my hand through my messy blond hair. The two of us were still half-dressed, having only gotten naked from the waist down. I eased out of her arms and off the bed without waking her. Making quick work of shedding my dress shirt, I headed for my attached bathroom and took a quick shower.
My mind was reeling. Worry gnawed at me. Someone was threatening her—that I was sure of—I just wasn’t sure who. Andshe wouldn’t tell me; that much was obvious by the way she completely broke down when I pressed the issue.
This changed everything.
I would have to tell Marcos and Jason as soon as they got back from their weekend at the lake, or maybe I would join them tomorrow after I sent Maya on her way to the spa? I was hoping to pick her up after though, when she would be relaxed and languid, maybe she’d be more open to talking then?
I shook my head. I couldn’t push her. Not now that I knew she was in danger. Clearly, she thought something bad would happen if she told me, otherwise she would have come to us back then. Someone had something over her, and it was keeping her away from us after all this time.
