Page 29 of Knox

“They could have been killed!”

“They weren’t, though. They weren’t. I’ll find out if Danny was involved. If he was, I’ll take care of him. He’ll never hurt you or the kids again.”

I pushed back to look up at Knox, tears streaming from my eyes down my cheeks. I knew I probably looked horrible -- a pretty crier I was not -- but I needed Knox to really pay attention to what I needed to say.

“Whatever happens, I don’t want the kids to know.” I shook my head violently. “Not about this. It’s bad enough what happened. If Danny did something -- anything -- they can never know.”

“Honey --”

“No! I mean it, Knox! They do not know! Ever!”

“OK, Evelyn. I swear I’ll never tell them. But you know Luke is smart enough to figure it out.”

“I don’t care. I’m not telling them, and I don’t want you to, either. If he figures it out and asks --”

“I’m not going to lie to him, Evelyn, and I don’t think you will either. He’s already in super-protective mode over you and Aneshya. He trusts me right now. If I lie to him, I destroy that trust.”

I sobbed then, knowing he was right. Knox pulled me tighter against him and held me for long, long moments. He let me cry and rage. I’m sure I screamed into his chest more than once. Through my entire breakdown, Knox held me. He soothed me with his presence, with his lips in my hair and his arms around me. I’d never had anyone to hold me like this. To encourage me to get out all the emotion I had pent up inside and let me know someone cared about me.

It was all too much. I knew if I didn’t find some way to get out all this emotion, I was going to start screaming again. So I took Knox’s face in my hands and pulled him down for a kiss. I thrust my tongue into his mouth, needing for him to take control but unable to voice my needs. Knox, being the dominant man I knew he was, immediately swept me up into his arms and set me on a workbench.

He continued to kiss me even as he ran his hands up my shirt to cup my breasts. When he squeezed, I thrust my chest out, wanting more. Needing his touch to be rough and demanding.

“Knox!” I gasped out his name into his mouth.

“You need me.” That wasn’t a question.

“Yes.”

“Do you trust me?” He trailed his mouth from my lips to my ear, then down my neck to my collarbone.

“I do! Please, Knox!”

He stepped back to whip my shirt over my head. Knox wrapped his arms around my torso before fastening his lips around one nipple. I couldn’t help the scream, especially when he bit down. Instead of dampening my need, the sharp pain seemed to inflame it. My hands flew to his head, threading through his hair.

Knox growled, and I felt the vibration from my nipple straight to my clit. My cries weren’t subtle. On my second scream, Knox clamped a hand over my mouth. Then he was by my ear, whispering.

“That’s it, my beautiful little wanton. You’re close to coming, aren’t you? I haven’t even touched your clit.” I nodded because he still had his hand over my mouth. “Don’t you come until I tell you.”

What? How the fuck was I supposed to do that? Especially with Knox biting, suckling, and licking my nipples. The man seemed to know exactly how to bring me up, then let me float back down before I crested the hill.

The more he teased and played with my tits, the more out of control I felt. It was like I was on a roller-coaster, only I couldn’t quite get to the top. I knew that once I finally made it to the top of that first hill, the plunge downward would probably drive me mad.

Knox pushed me back, so I rested against the wall while he worked the fastenings of my jeans. He forced them down over my hips, taking my panties with them. The second they were out of the way, Knox dipped his head to swipe his tongue through my folds.

My muffled scream was loud in the little shed. Thank God, Knox put his hand back over my mouth, because I was sure I was loud enough as it was. The very last thing I wanted was for someone to come in on us.

Then Knox smacked the side of my thigh. “Eyes on me, Evelyn,” he snapped. “You look at me. Keep your attention on me.” He licked me again, and I felt moisture gush from my pussy with each masterful stroke from his tongue.

I did as he commanded because I was helpless to do anything else. Knox was my anchor. He was driving me higher and higher, and I knew that when he finally let me fall, I’d give him everything inside me.

He took a couple more tastes from my cunt before he lifted me and spun me around. Taking my wrists in each hand, he placed them on the bench, pushing my back until I bent at the waist, resting my upper body on the cool wood.

I heard a ripping sound and turned to look over my shoulder as Knox slipped the condom over his cock. He bared his teeth at me before gripping my hair and forcing me to face forward.

“Stay still,” he growled at me, his hand holding my back down to keep me in the position he wanted me in.

Then he entered me in one sharp, swift stroke. I sucked in a breath to scream, but Knox’s hand clamped over my mouth once more. His hot breath was harsh in my ear, and I shuddered.
