Page 41 of Rising from the Ashes

My hands find his belt, and I free his cock from the confines of his pants. Even in excruciating pain after being beaten and tortured by Everly’s men and then me, his desire for me is still evident.

Straddling him again, I lift myself up, positioning his cock at the entrance of my pussy and slowly slide myself down on him, my taut nipples brushing against his bloodied face.

“Cal…” He groans.

“Nu-uh.” I shake my head, “Call me by my name.”

I run my hands through his hair, gently massaging his scalp.

“My little bunny,” he whispers against my breasts as I lift myself up and down.

Giggling, I lean my head back, feeling his cock throb inside of me.

“Tell me again, Shado. I need to hear it.” I plead.

“I love you, Calista. You’re mine.”

Tears begin to stream down my face again as I look back down on him. Slowing down my movements, I cup his face in my hands, “I love you too, you fucking jerk.”

My climax begins to bubble in the pit of my stomach and I feel myself start to unravel around him.

Gripping onto his shoulders, I cry out, “I need you…Please…”

He hisses through the pain undoubtedly shooting through his body as I grip onto him, “I’ll do anything to gain your trust back.”

Just as the words escape his lips, I hear what sounds like bones cracking.

Pulling me from my ecstasy, I look down as I hear him grunt and as he tugs his hands free from the cable ties.

My eyes widen at the realization of what he just did. “Did you seriously just dislocate your thumbs?”

“I need to touch you, Cal,” he says, wrapping his arms around me.

“You stubborn man.” I roll my eyes as I take his hands in mine, “Breathe in, this is going to hurt.”

He inhales and holds it as I pop his thumbs back into place.

“Idiot.”

Chapter fourteen

Calista

E: You and Shado meet me in my office.

Calista: On the way.

Shado: 10-4.

Inever enjoy being called into Everly’s office; it feels as though I am sixteen again, getting caught playing hooky and being brought into the Principal’s office. The feeling in my stomach drops.

I eye Shado. “What did you do now?”

“I didn’t do anything, Cal. I’ve been with you the last 72 hours, remember?” A playful smirk forms across his mouth as he reminisces over the last three days.

After he was beaten by Everly’s men, and I only added insult to his injuries, I brought Shado to my safe house for the last three days as we tried to come up with a plan to stop the shipment coming in tonight. Not knowing exactly what the shipment is has proven difficult.

When Shado wasn’t resting and trying to heal, I was distracting him from actually making a plan out of any of the usable intel we gathered. After his admission to me, I couldn’t keep my hands off him; I needed to hear those words over and over again. He told me he loved me, without hesitation.
