Vail outmuscled me and rolled us so I was on my back with him over me. He sat up, his palms pressed to my chest. “Look at me, Jordan.” I hadn’t realized I wasn’t. “I’m not someone you have to hold back with. You want to control me in here and while I will let you any time you want, maybe you need someone to take over once in a while.” He lifted and slammed back down, punching the air from my lungs as he did so. “I’m going to do the work. When you’re about to come, touch me. It won’t take much. I want this with you.”
Never in my entire life had I let someone else control me in the bedroom. I loved having the upper hand. Yet, as Vail’s gaze drilled me and he gripped my cock with his ass, I gave in.
Sweat beaded on my face and chest. It did the same to him, his skin glistening in the low light. His dark brown hair hung over his forehead in slick locks as he bounced on my cock like he was made to do it.
“Almost… there… Touch me, Jordan.”
My hand went to his cock, the velvet coated steel slick with precum. I firmed my grip and jerked him twice before saying, “Come.” He called out my name and leaned forward as his orgasm crashed into him. His ass squeezed my cock while he kept moving, kept his pace until I finally felt my orgasm rise to the surface.
“So good, Jordan. Oh my god, so fucking good.” He kept coming. And I finally crashed over the edge with him.
Everything went dark as my eyes squeezed closed and my body drew up tight, pumping my cum inside Vail while his panted breaths were the soundtrack to our shared moment. We were in our own world here, our own safe space. The world out there didn’t exist, only the two of us. And I’d let go. For once with a lover, I gave in and let my control slip. It was frightening and freeing.
If I wasn’t careful, it would become completely addictive.

JORDAN
It had been three days since I found out Leeland was trying to take what was mine. While also waiting to deal with him, I put off bringing Hartley to my home, wanting to handle Leeland before I took any additional steps forward with the men who worked their way into my cold heart.
Vail stayed with me until the following morning when I told him I could give myself to him in the way he desired. Vail wanted me to be his as much as I wanted him to be mine. After our first time in bed, we rested, ate, then fucked again. It was a cycle that went on until he had to leave. I tried to get him to stay, but he said breathing room would do us good, especially since I still had to bring Hartley into my life in a more permanent way.
Vail said he was mine, and I took him at his word. But he wouldn’t live with me. Not yet, even though I could provide him with the security he needed. Vail was independent, as was Hartley. I’d have to tread carefully, so I didn’t say or do things to cause them to want to go in the opposite direction. But I knew myself and those words were bound to leave my lips, like how they were mine and should always be in my home.
I couldn’t turn off that I was possessive any more than I could turn off wanting to draw blood from the people who wronged me. Which brought me back to the present. Once I dealt with Leeland, I could go to Hartley and make him mine. Afterward, I would bring the three of us together and show them what it meant for us to be one. Maybe then I could convince Vail to live with me. He was across the damn city on the western side where I was too far from.
A growl tried to work itself up my throat at the thought of him being there. Not only that, but Hartley’s rental was far from acceptable. He deserved a nice home with every comfort he could desire.
Relationships weren’t easy for me. I still had the fear of what I’d have to do to them if they crossed me, but beyond that was a bigger fear of what it meant to not have them in my life at all. That wasn’t acceptable. They were mine, and I needed to act accordingly before someone else thought they could take them from me.
As far as Vail’s asshole ex went, I knew every move that fucker made. I also knew he wasn’t letting Vail go so easily. But Vail didn’t want me near him, so I wouldn’t be. Yet. If Gil stepped wrong toward Vail in any way, I’d deal with the fallout with Vail if it meant he was safe from the piece of shit he used to be with.
Now, I had Leeland to handle.
It had been twelve hours since Kayli brought him to one of my empty buildings on the far edge of my city. Albert was currently driving to the location where I could do my work. It would have been too easy to have Reghan or his brother handle this for me. Or for Sheldon to spike one of Leeland’s meals and kill him that way. I needed to send a message not only to him, but to anyone else who thought they could take what I’d built.
As we pulled up, I saw a familiar cop leaning against the side of the building. His unmarked car sat feet away. He was someone I paid to keep quiet and help me out. He was also one of the few I actually didn’t want to hurt when I saw him.
Albert put the car in park and exited to open the door for me. My eyes immediately went to the cop. “Barrett, what are you doing here?” No one from my organization would have told him where I’d be today.
“You have a man in there I’d very much like to see dead. I’ve been tracking him. He’s not the smartest asshole.”
I quickly scanned Barrett’s body. He was in plain clothes, but he still could be feeding our conversation to someone. Just because I paid him didn’t mean I fully trusted him. “You’re clean?”
Instead of replying, he removed his coat and took his shirt off. He was impressive underneath. Muscles popped in his chest and stomach. His arms flexed as he began undoing his jeans. The badge he wore swung on his neck on a silver chain.
“Enough,” Reghan said and went to him so he could pat him down.
Barrett smirked. “What’s the matter? Don’t want to see what I’m packing?”
“Unless it’s a gun, I don’t give a fuck how big your dick is,” Reghan shot back.
“Oh, come on. I’d give it to you real good.” Barrett wasn’t overly cocky, but he knew what buttons to press to rile Reghan up.
When he was done with the pat down, Reghan put his hand around Barrett’s throat and slammed him against the side of the building. I was content to lean against the car and watch.
Getting in his face, Reghan said low, “I’m not in the mood for your shit today, Bear. I’m here for a reason and it’s not so you can fucking taunt me. Unless you have a solid purpose for wasting our time, I’d suggest you move the fuck on.”
