Page 42 of Silent Betrayal

“Hi, Malishka,” I reply before kissing her nose.

She rubs her naked core against my aching cock and I can’t stop myself from pulling her against my chest, so there’s no space separating us. My tongue clashes with her tiny one as she rubs herself against me. I wrap an arm around her lower back, pulling her tighter to me and groan as I thrust my hips against her.

“Malishka, you have to stop. You’re sore, you need to rest,” I tell her, trying to stop. My hips seem to have a mind of their own though, slowly thrusting against her, making me pant with need.

“Atlas, I can’t wait. I need you now. Make love to me?” she pleads.

Those words undo me. How can I deny this sweet girl anything? Especially after everything she’s been through in her life. If she’s brave enough to overcome all those hurdles and come out on the other side wanting me, who am I to deny her? I’m only human, and I’ve been craving her since the moment I met her.

I look into her eyes and see the need and the love she has for me reflected there, making my decision for me. “Okay, but we’re goingto do this properly, in a bed. Hold on.” I wrap my arms around her and stand, she clings to me as I carry her upstairs to her bedroom.

I climb into the center of the bed and lay her down gently on her back. I kiss her as I lay over her, keeping some of my weight on my arms so I don’t crush her tiny body. Her tongue presses into mine and I wrap my tongue around hers, caressing it. I grind my dick into her, rubbing it up and down her heat, covering myself with her juices. I move one hand to her chest and roll her nipple between my fingers. She arches her back into my touch, making me groan with delight.

The way she reacts to my touch is addicting. It makes me want to spend hours exploring her body so I can figure out what makes her squirm the most.

It doesn’t take long for her breathing to get erratic again. She’s so responsive, it makes me even harder, aching to be inside her.

“Atlas, I need you.”

I’m not going to make her beg for me again. I line myself up and slowly ease myself in. Her nails dig into my shoulders as her back arches at the intrusion.

I whisper in her ear, “shh, shh it’s okay, I’ll go slow.”

“No!” she cries, “I need you to move! God, Atlas… I feel so… full. I need you to fuck me hard, make me come on your cock.”

Holy fuck…Where did this dirty little mouth come from? She went from being mute to a god damned dirty talker in no time. Is this what we pulled out of her? Was this hiding underneath that quiet exterior all this time? The thought only makes me love her more, eager to peel back all her layers and help the real Mina step out into the light.

I start thrusting in harder as my hand teases her nipple. She groans and cries my name. “Atlas!”

“Fuck, yes, baby! Say my name again!” I growl.

“Atlas! I love you!”

Her core starts convulsing around me, and combined with her words, it sets me off. I explode, my cum shooting out of me into her, as I keep thrusting until I’m spent and I slow to a stop. I slump down beside her and pull her to me, my arms wrapped around her.

“God, I love you so much, Malishka. I’m so glad you’re here now.”

“Me too,” she says, snuggling into my chest. She dozes off as we lay here, completely exhausted and utterly content.

I’m elated that she agreed to be mine… and Dom’s. It means she’s open to the idea of being with more than one of us, and I have a feeling she won’t say no to any of us.

I’m more worried about Gideon. I’ve seen him distancing himself from her since she’s been home, and I’m not sure why. Whenever one of us tries to bring it up, he tells us everything is fine and shrugs off his behavior like it’s normal. When the seven of us had a conversation about asking her individually to date us, he stayed silent. When asked directly if he was in, he simply nodded. I just hope he gets over whatever is keeping him back from her.

If we are going to keep her safe and solve these murders, we need our whole house functioning as a team. We still couldn’t confirm that her mother was the killer. Regardless, the killer is out there and has been targeting victims who look like Mina for years. It’s unclear if it’s her mother, or some sort of stalker, but the fact remains that she’s in danger.

I was glad she didn’t want to go back to high school. She didn’t belong there anyway, but it also meant she was spending her days at home, where I could protect her. I’ve amped up the security around our home, but I don’t imagine the killer even knows she’s here.

And now she’s finally physically healed, we can ask her more about her life and see if we can make any connections to the case.

But one thing remains certain. She’s mine, and nothing will ever take her from meagain.

Chapter seventeen

The next morning, as I’m eating breakfast, I can’t stop my gaze from darting around the table. Every time Dom’s eyes land on mine, I blush, remembering what happened yesterday. And every time my eyes meet Atlas’s, he smirks, sending heat to my core.

Then, when I look at the others, I can’t help remembering how Dom implied they might all want something more with me. Or did he just mean that they could, not that theywould?

I thought I was supposed to be sore after my first time, but being around all these attractive men just makes me want them more. I wonder what would happen if Dom and Atlas took me right here on the table in front of everyone. That thought makes my face heat with embarrassment, and I duck my head as I take another bite of the scrambled eggs that Ben made.
