V-neck of her shirt and her slender hips. Her purposeful steps and sexy lips.
Fuck, do I want her.
Bee stops right in front of me, the heat of lust and need rolling off her. I don’t question what she wants, just pull the neck of her shirt down and press my mouth to the star on one shoulder, then the other before tracing it with my tongue.
“I guess that means you’re okay with this?” Her voice is breathless as she drops her head back.
“I shouldn’t be, but I am so fucking okay with this.”
Chapter Seven
~Bee~
Most women probably would have walked out when he said he didn’t want to be okay with it, but just like Maddox said about me, I
get
it.
Those three simple words helped to calm the storm inside me. No one has ever told me they got it—that they got
me
. It was awkward when I came home. My family tried too hard to be what I needed and even though it kills me to admit it, what I needed was Melody and Rex.
I tried to be who my real family expected me to be and I
know
they tried to understand me. Tried to make sense of the connection I felt with the people who took me away. And as I got older, they tried to understand the girl who was different from most of the other girls at school but didn’t care. The one who became obsessed with tattooing and didn’t go to college like my sister, the one who moves around.
I’m the only Malone who didn’t go to school and they’ve never come out and told me I’m a disappointment to them, but the truth is, I know I have to be. That even though they try to “get” me—and the fact that I’m blunt and don’t have a plan other than Masquerade or the ink that’s such a part of me—they don’t.
“I know you want this but remember Masquerade might not work out. Odds are it won’t. It’s important to have something to fall back on.”
“Your sister is doing so well. She might possibly be making top of her class.”
I don’t want another plan besides Masquerade. It’s what I love and I needed their help. So what, I’m not doing as well and they have never met a guy I’ve dated in my life. Those things are so little… only to them, they make me different. The lone Malone who isn’t like the rest.
Thoughts of the phone call with Mom are replaced by Maddox. He said he gets me and there isn’t anything inside me that doesn’t believe him.
“We’re still on the same page, right? Original rules apply?” I shiver as he speaks into my neck, somehow his lips still kissing the tender skin there simultaneously.
“Don’t worry. I’m not the type of girl who sleeps with someone and thinks she’s destined to be with him forever.”
That seems to be all the motivation Maddox needs. He pulls me closer, higher into his arms. My legs automatically wrap around his waist. His mouth is on mine now, kissing me more slowly than he did the first night. More like a girlfriend than a lover, and it makes me pull away. “More,” I tell him as he walks me over to the couch.
“Then stop talking.”
“Pushy, pushy.”
“You’re still doing it,” Maddox grits out before his lips are on mine. He doesn’t lose his groove as he lays me on the couch, fitting between my legs. His erection grinds against me as his tongue explores my mouth.
He knows what he’s doing. I realized that the first night, but even more so now. One of his hands expertly unbuttons my pants, his lips and hips still moving. I tug slightly at his hair, hearing a moan from him.
Then he’s kissing down my neck and taking off my shirt. His tongue swirls around my belly button. “Oh God,” I say huskily as that beginning tingle already forms in the pit of my stomach.
“This is hot.” Maddox nips at my belly-button ring.
“
All
piercings are hot.”
Maddox slides my zipper down and I lift my hips while he slowly pulls my jeans down. “I want to get my nipple done.”
My eyes widen at that. I’m not sure if he’s joking or not. “I’ll do it for you.”
“Hell no.”
