He groaned, pulling her jumper up over her head. She unhooked her legs and yanked her shorts down.

“We have to be careful.” He said.

“Because we’re in Brandon’s house?” She whispered.

He laughed. “No, his room is the other side, I doubt he’ll hear us. I was talking about your leg.”

“Urgh.” She muttered. She wanted him to be fucking her, pounding her, bending her over and dominating her but that statement told her everything she needed to know; that he was going to be gentle. Considerate.

He tweaked her nipples, teasing them into hardened buds and she arched her back, enjoying the pleasure of it.

He ran his lips over her, kissing her lightly and then when she least expected it he bit down hard on her nipple.

She cried out in shock.

“Cole.”

He didn’t reply. He just stared right back at her as he grabbed her good and yanked it up as hard and aggressively as he could to meet her shoulder.

“Just as flexible as ever Maddie.” He murmured. His eyes were focused on her pussy now.

She moved her hand, sliding it between her labia, spreading it for his to see. “Just as wet as always too Cole.” She said making sure he could see how glistening her fingers were.

He groaned moving his body down. Running his tongue along her, as she kept herself spread for him. He started sucking, teasing her clit and it took all her strength to keep her hand still, to keep herself spread wide for him.

“You’re so fucking hot.” He groaned as her body released more juices and he lapped it up.

“Make me cum Cole. Please.” She gasped.

He sucked her, circling her with his tongue and she began writhing as the intensity inside her built. “Fuck Cole.” She moaned.

He didn’t stop. He kept going as her eyes rolled back in her head and she came hard against his mouth. But as soon as he’d done licking it all up he pounded straight into her.

His dick slid mercilessly in and out and she grabbed his arse, digging her nails into the perfect muscles of him, frustrated that her body was too damaged for her to do anything other than just take his despite the incredible pleasure she was feeling.

“I love you Maddie Cooper.” He growled ramming into her so hard she cried out with each thrust and he wondered if he might actually be doing some damage.

“I love you Cole.” She half groaned back. Her body was right on the cusp again. Her toes were already curling. “Cum with me.” She gasped and he bit her shoulder, burying his teeth into her flesh as he poured himself into her.

It was early morning.Too early. The sun wasn’t up yet but Cole was wide awake. He’d been on his phone, answering messages, dealing with the fallout from the bombing for what felt like hours.

The Japanese office had called and he’d been stuck on the phone to the GM for longer than he’d liked.

Brandon was sat opposite him, at the island, working away too. Cole hadn’t even realised he was about but he hadn’t wanted to disturb Maddie so he’d snuck off downstairs and the smell of freshly brewed coffee had given the game away.

Every so often Brandon would mutter something under his breath and Cole would glance at him. He looked exhausted. He was taking this bombing all on his own head and had offered his resignation barely hours after it had happened though Cole had told him where to stick it. It wasn’t Brandon’s fault. He hadn’t done anything to cause this and they’d both looked at the evidence which clearly showed they’d not missed something. There was no way to predict it. No way to have seen this coming.

Brandon poured another mug of coffee for them both and Cole thanked him before taking a much needed sip. His head hurt and he knew this was going to be a long day. Carlton was flying in. He was due to land in three hours and a car was going to pick him up from the airport and bring him straight there. He’d also pulled strings to get Andy Jackson, head of Counter Terrorism to take over from where Mullins had tried and failed to get involved because as much as BlackWater could pull rank and shout about national security and jurisdiction they needed from a stakeholder perspective for the police to work with them.

A piercing scream echoed making them both jump.

“It’s Maddie.” Cole said without needing too and they both sprang from the room and down the hallway to where the cantilever staircase was.

Cole got to the room first and Brandon almost collided into him.

Maddie was sat up, in the darkness, duvet around her, with her hair awry and her face contorted in a look Cole had only seen once before; fear.

“What’s wrong?” Brandon asked.
