Page 76 of Screwged for Christmas

Fuck me, that one look has the power to drive me to my knees.

I cross my arms over my massive chest and peer down at her as she continues. That or I won’t be keeping my hands to myself much longer.

“You’re bloodthirsty, a ruthless jackal in the boardroom, cutthroat when in contract mode and… a greedy son-of-a-bitch that needs to be shown a lesson.” She throws up air quotes around that last part.

The last word comes out no more than a whisper. “Not my words.”

“Greedy,” I repeat, the word heavy on my lips.

She cocks her head to the side with a small smile on her lips. Faint as it was she still smiled and right then I swore I would do anything in the world within my power and then some to see all the evil erased from her life.

“You don’t deny the other rumors?” No judging in her tone, just curiosity.

“Not when they are the truth. Except the taught a lesson part. That’s horse shit, but I appreciate your honesty,” I answer with just as much honesty.

She deserves that much from me and more. “I fight for what is mine and for what I want.” I don’t let her look away from me when she tries to step out of my reach. I anchor her to the spot with a hand on her shoulder and another under her chin, tilting her gaze toward mine.

“Ask me if I always get what I want, Allison Shade.”

Her throat works a couple of times before she complies. “Do you, Mr. Savage. Do you always get what you want?”

“Every. Fucking. Time,” I growl, and I know she understands my meaning. Despite her age, her wisdom is beyond that of her young years.

“Good to know,” she says in a soft voice just above a whisper. The sound of her breath hitching is almost too much as the tiny sound sends a rush of blood to my already aching cock.

I take a step back or risk throwing her over my shoulder and whisking her off to one of my towers like the caveman I’ve become in the short time being around her.

“You still haven’t told me why you’re here and not your uncle.”

“Because I don’t have an honest answer.”

Her play on words makes me smile.

Heat blooms across her cheeks and her lip slips between her teeth again.

A whimper falls from her pouty lips as I pull the wet plumpness of her lip from her self-torture and this time I don’t hold back. I glide my thumb between her lips.

“Suck it, angel, like you would my cock.”

Holding my gaze, she wraps her lips around my thumb and hollows her cheeks as I pull it out.

“Just as I thought. Pure sweetness.” I taste the peppermint she must have eaten from one of the several candy dishes O’ Bryan keeps around the house during this time of year as I lick her taste from my skin.

I catch her wrist when she reaches out to touch me. Tremors rock through her, and I didn’t miss the moan she tries to hide behind a gasp of surprise. “You’re in over your head, angel. Run along home before you get fucked under my Christmas tree.”

I raise her wrist to my lips and press a chaste kiss to her hammering pulse.

She’s standing with her legs pressed together and her arms by her tiny body. I know if I were to lean in, whisper a few sweet words to my angel, and trail my tongue along the pillowy mounds of her breasts, I could get her to open for me.

“I can’t. I’m… I’m here to blackmail you.”

Jesus fucking Christ. My pulse did a jackhammer in my chest. I wanted the truth as she knew it, but I didn’t expect it dropped on me like a nuke. I had to appreciate her honesty.

Her big, beautiful green eyes hold my attention. I see her fear, the need to run for safety, yet she stands her ground and my respect for her triples.

When I notice a hint of tears rimming her soft eyes, I somehow manage to restrain myself from pulling her into my chest and wrapping my arms around her until she knows how safe she is with me. But just barely. I imagine the tightness of her pussy like a fist around my cock once I claim her and making the ugly outside world disappear. The thought of sinking into her and fucking her long and hard as we get to know each other’s desires clouds my judgment for a moment.

I clear my throat and step back to give each of us a moment to breathe.
