Sara: You didn’t tie him up somewhere, did you???

Cara: NO! I just did a little negotiating. Now, I need to finish up my day. We will be heading out at eight.

Sara: Sounds like a plan.

Bianca: I’m down.

Me: Can’t wait!

Setting my phone down, I smile wide while bouncing on my bed with excitement. I don’t know what Cara did, but I owe her. I need a night of fun. Not that I have much experience with it. Something tells me that this will be a night to remember. I check the time to see it’s a little after noon, so I grab my laptop and talk to my parents for a few hours. As the rest of the day goes by, I grow more and more anxious. When a knock sounds on my door, I walk over and open it.

Jonah is standing there looking a bit conflicted. Concern stirs inside me. “What’s wrong?” I ask. I pull him inside my room, and he takes a seat on the bed.

“I don’t want you to go.” He huffs. Circling his arms around my hips, he brings my body against his and rests his head on my stomach. I run my fingers through his silky hair, and I swear he purrs like a kitten. This is the Jonah I know. He’s super affectionate and not afraid to show his emotions.

“If you truly don’t want me to go, then I won’t.”

He curses under his breath before looking up at me. His face is full of regret. “I’m being selfish, Maddy. If this is what you want, I’m just going to have to deal with it. I want you all to myself. Ten years have gone by, and I don’t want to spend any more time apart.”

“It’s only for a few hours.” I giggle.

Jonah snorts before shaking his head. “Babe, I highly doubt that. You’ll be gone for the majority of the night with them. But you deserve to kick back and have fun. Just don’t go off alone and stay with the group so I can keep my sanity while you’re gone.”

“I promise.”

“One more thing. There’s a property cut down by the front door for you. Yours will be a bit different from the girls but it stills reads ‘property of the Sinful Warriors.’ That’ll let anyone around you know you’re under our direct protection. So, if they fuck with you, they fuck with us.”

I know all about the property cuts. I’ve seen the girls wearing theirs several times and I finally asked them what it meant. By the time they were done, I was a little envious. I don’t know if Jonah and I will ever get to a place where he wants to give me a cut. I can only hope. This man is and always will be the love of my life.

Crap.

I didn’t expect that. I know I’ve been falling for him again, but to say love so soon… I could be making the biggest mistake of my life falling for him so fast. I don’t think I could take another heartbreak again. My internal thoughts have me spiraling and now I’m starting to panic, wondering if I’m making a huge mistake.

“Hey, where did you go, Maddy? You’ve gone pale and your breathing picked up.”

I shake my head and try and take a step back, but Jonah tightens his arms around me. He stands, leans in close to my face and stares into my eyes.

“Breathe for me, Maddy. Breathe. I know this is scary and a lot is happening pretty fast. We will move as fast as you want. I just want you in my life, Maddy. I don’t think I can handle losing you again.”

My breathing slows and the room stops spinning. I gaze into his eyes and see the honesty and the pleading. He’s scared for me to walk out that door and disappear. Rising on my toes, I bring my lips to his. Jonah is taken off guard but quickly recovers and he palms the back of my neck and angles my head to kiss me deeper.

A whimper falls from my lips as I throw my arms around his neck. I rub my body against his and Jonah groans into the kiss. His erection pokes me in the stomach and I shiver. Jonah flips us around and the next thing I know, my back is hitting the bed. I only have a few seconds to adjust to the sudden movement before Jonah is on me again.

He climbs between my legs and licks his way up my neck. I thrust my hips upward and rub against his hard length.

“Fuck,” he groans against my neck.

“Jonah,” I whimper as I clutch his shoulders, silently begging for more. He brings his lips back to mine and devours my mouth. Taking my lip between his teeth, he gives me a quick bite and I jump from surprise. Jonah has never done anything rough with me, even when we were younger. It was always sweet and tender. I’m not turned off in any way.

If anything, I’m intrigued.

Jonah must have completely misunderstood what happened because in the next second, he’s standing at the foot of the bed, panting. I open my mouth to explain that he didn’t hurt me, but he cuts me off.

“Fuck! I’m sorry, Maddy. I said we would take this slow and here I am jumping you. I didn’t mean to scare you, baby. I’m going to head out so you can get dressed. I’ll see you before you leave later.”

He turns around and starts for the door. I’m livid. He keeps making decisions aboutmyfeelings. He doesn’t ask, he just assumes. This stops right now. Hopping off the bed, I race to the door and slam it shut as he opens it. Jonah looks down at me, taken aback by my actions.

Throwing my arms around his neck, I proceed to climb him like a monkey in a banana tree. Wrapping my legs around his waist, I thrust my hips into his groin. Jonah hisses while trying to hold my hips still.
