Page 68 of Keeping My Girl

CHAPTER37

Nicholas

I’M PACING THE kitchen floor, waiting patiently for Selina to return home. She went for her GED testing early this morning. I sent two carloads of bodyguards with her, not taking any chances. I stare down at the last text from one of the guards.

On our way back.

That was twenty minutes ago. The black SUVs should be pulling up the driveway any minute now, and I can’t wait to see her. She’s been studying so hard for that damn test, and I know she will be super bummed if she doesn’t pass. I have no doubt in my mind that she passed with flying colors, however. My girl worked her ass off. And if the universe isn’t a totally cruel bitch, then she’ll make sure Selina passed.

Light reflecting off the SUV’s windshields catches my eye, and I look out the window, waiting patiently in the kitchen. I watch as Selina steps out of the back, the sun hitting her blonde hair, making it appear as if she has a halo around her angelic form. It takes all of my willpower not to run out the door and scoop her up in my arms.

She’s become a constant in my world, and I can’t imagine my life without her now. Just the thought of losing her again keeps me up at night and has me waking up in a cold sweat and panting like I just ran a marathon.

I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, and I know without a doubt that I would kill anyone who tried to come between us in any way.

When Selina enters the room, my patience finally snaps. I walk over to her and envelop her in my arms, inhaling the familiar strawberry scent of her hair. She lets me hold her for a few minutes before pulling away. She glances up at the huge congratulations banner I hung earlier and frowns. “What if I hadn’t passed?” she asks.

“So you did pass?” I ask, pulling her back into my arms and squeezing her tight. “I knew my girl would kick that test’s ass!” Releasing her, I walk over to a bottle of champagne and pop the cork before pouring us two glasses. “Congratulations, Lina,” I tell her before handing her one of the flutes.

She takes the glass from me and sips the champagne. “Thank you,” she says, absolutely beaming.

I glance at the clock. It’s only ten in the morning. We could have a full day of celebration at this point. “What do you want to do today? Anything. Just name it.”

Her eyes light up when she says, “Let’s go for a drive.”

I smile. She’s been having fun driving the different cars in the garage. Her favorite, though, is my dark blue McLaren 720S. She loves how fast it goes, and I love to watch her drive it. It’s fucking sexy as hell. “All right. That sounds like fun.”

“Let me go change first, though,” she tells me before finishing off her champagne and setting the glass down.

I watch her walk away, her cute ass swaying under her tight jeans. My cock instantly lengthens in my pants, and I bite back a groan. Scrubbing my hand down my face, I wonder how long I can go today without being inside of her. I think our record at this point is just a few hours. God, I’m such a goner for that girl.

Selina

I thought I needed drugs to get that ultimate high to sustain life. But, in reality, all I needed was Nico. He’s my newest addiction — a drug so sweet and perfect that I’ll never be able to rid him of my system. He’s running through my veins, pumping adrenaline into my once cold, dead heart, making me feel alive again. Every day with him is an adventure, and I absolutely love that.

And when we make love, the feelings I get are so addictive that I just want more of them. All the time. I’m insatiable. And I’m thankful that he is too. What once was a small spark between us has completely ignited into a full-blown forest fire. I just can’t get enough.

“Slow down, Lina,” Nico warns as I take a turn too fast.

I manage to get the car back under control. I’ve been driving more and more, getting the hang of it, and today I want to be fast and reckless. I glance in the rearview mirror, and the SUV that had been tailing us is no longer in sight. Gripping the steering wheel, I pull onto a side road. We’re out in the country, in the middle of nowhere, not even a house in sight except for maybe at the end of this dirt road.

Nico leans forward in the passenger’s seat and looks in the mirror. “I think we lost the bodyguards,” he says with a frown.

“Good,” I tell him before I unbuckle my seatbelt and scramble out of my seat and onto his lap.

I catch him off guard, and I can see the moment he realizes my intentions. His pupils dilate as he focuses his gray eyes on mine. “I fucking love it when you’re bad,” he hisses through clenched teeth as I grind down on his thickening cock. “We don’t have much time,” he warns.

“We don’t need much time.” For some reason, driving…and maybe just freedom, in general, gives me such a rush. My panties have been soaking wet the entire drive. And every time I would glance over to Nico, I would get the image in my head of riding his cock in the car, and it turned me on even more.

Wasting no time, I unzip his pants. He helps me with the next part, pulling his pants and boxers down to his knees until his thick, hard cock is free, bouncing up towards his stomach.

I wore a skirt for this very reason, so all I have to do is push my panties to the side before I’m sinking down on his delicious length.

“Wait,” Nico breathes, but then he groans as I seat myself, my slickness coating him the whole way down. “Oh fuck, you’re ready for me, aren’t you, sweetheart?” he moans.

I ride up and down on his length, kissing his neck, whispering in his ear, “I’m always ready for you.”
