Page 7 of One Eye Open (The BlackWater)

Maddie lay wide awake, staring at the ceiling above her. Cole was fast asleep because he’d refused to change his sleep pattern from U.K. time and now she was stuck in some weird juxtaposition between the two time-zones.

She shut her eyes willing herself to just nod off but her head was already full of thoughts and she carefully unwrapped herself from him and got out of the bed grabbing a dressing robe that hung on one of the door to wrap around her.

She made herself a coffee and sat out on a different balcony, staring out at the park below her. Like everything Cole did, this suite had the best views, the best furniture, every miniscule bit of luxury one man could desire not that Cole had ever appeared greedy. He just had standards, ridiculously high standards.

The sun was streaking across the sky and she smiled, wondering when exactly she would be leaving this place. Not that she minded it but she had things to do back in London.

She had work for one, and the Harrison case in particular. She grabbed her phone dropping a quick message to Max and he replied almost instantly that Harrison was currently enjoying all the delights of Her Majesty’s Prison Service. She replied with a few other things she needed him to now cover and he sent a winky face, thumbs up, and then seconds later a god damn aubergine. Evidently he’d been informed why she was still in New York and she shook her head deciding not to reply. Sure most of BlackWater knew she was with Cole but that didn’t mean she liked to flaunt it, liked to highlight it but this impromptu trip had done just that hadn’t it? And if she didn’t know any better she would have thought Brandon was in on it too. Only she knew he was in Latvia right now, knees deep in a case she didn’t want to know the details of.

There was also the matter of her apartment. She hadn’t been there in weeks. Cole had practically strongarmed her into moving back into his and though she hadn’t wanted to be away from him she was reluctant still to make the final step, to fully move her stuff in so instead she’d spent the last 6 months flitting back and forth, dropping bits off, picking things she needed up all the while denying the reality that she had moved in with him. That it wasn’t just staying over.

Time to face truth, she thought to herself, time to actually stop pretending. Because maybe, just maybe it was time to get her final things. Admit defeat and let Cole have his way, as always.

Her phone buzzed and she read the message from her brother before replying and then seeing the time. It was still early by London time but she didn’t care now, she was awake, wide awake, and she was determined that Cole would be too and she had just the plan to make it happen.

As quietly as she could she picked his tie up from where he’d tossed his clothes the night before creeping back into the bedroom and delicately, really delicately looping it around his wrists and the bed frame with one knot holding the ends together.

“What are you doing?” Cole asked, opening his eyes just as she pulled the final end tight.

She grinned at him and he narrowed his eyes glancing to where his arms were now stuck and then back at her.

“Why the hell am I tied up?” He asked with an edge to his voice that normally would have made her nervous.

“I think you know the answer to that.” She said and he shook his head.

“Maddie, I’m serious. Untie me now.” He ordered.

She gave a little laugh before pulling the covers off of him and then stared at his deliciously naked body beneath. He was hard already but she suspected it had more to do with it being the morning than a reflection on her part but that was okay, she thought, she had time enough now to ensure he was suitably stimulated.

“Maddie.” Cole snapped and she looked back at his face.

“Oh baby, don’t you think this’ll be fun?” She taunted and he narrowed his eyes at the nickname because they both knew how much he hated it.

He shook his head slowly, still evidently trying to maintain control. She leant over him, taking his hardened dick in her hand and then licked it.

He groaned in spite of himself.

“Isn’t that better?” She asked.

“Untie me.”

She laughed. “Not quite yet. I want to have a little fun first.”

She licked him again, slower, letting her tongue tease and flick him and then she put him into her mouth sucking as she moved him in and out of her and moaning so that it reverberated through him.

He growled in response and she couldn’t tell if it was from frustration or enjoyment but she kept going anyway, teasing him, working him.

“Fuck Maddie.” He groaned and she smiled up at him as his dick still stayed in her mouth. He was thrusting into her, thrusting into her mouth every time she took him in, ensuring he went further, ensuring she was practically deep throating him.

She could feel he was close now and she started to pump with her hand at the base of him, still sucking with her mouth and he groaned even louder before she felt his dick jerk and he released into her, filling her mouth with his warm, salty cum.

She swallowed before licking her lips, knowing he was watching her every move.

“Let me go now Maddie.” He demanded.

“Hmmm maybe not just yet.” She replied straddling him and he shook his head. She undid the dressing gown, throwing it dramatically off her and he stared at her now naked body.

“When I get out I’m going to spank you so hard.” He warned and she bit her lip leaning close to him, allowing her breasts to graze against him.
