Pulling his fingers out, he grips my chin hard and stamps his lips over mine. He seals us together as he fucks me, and I hold him like I’ll shatter if he’s not there to keep me together. His pace picks up until it almost hurts, and as his body starts to jerk, his teeth sink into my lower lip.

He holds me tightly wrapped around him. His knees shaking as he pins me to the wall. My entire body shivers and my nails dig into his flesh.

Adam kisses the spot he bit on my lip. He kisses the corner of my mouth, my cheek, my jaw. He kisses everywhere he can reach before burying his face in the crook of my neck. And for a man who always feels so far away, right now we connect.

“Adam?”

He hums his response.

“Thank you.”

Pulling back, he cups my jaw and looks at me. Something edging on pain in his eyes.

“I needed that,” I explain.

He brushes my cheek with his fingers, and once more it’s soft enough that he might as well be memorizing me. “And I need you.”

If only that were possible.

Adam

“Howaretherestillentire wings in this manor I haven’t seen?” Lake squeezes my hand, her eyes wide as I open the door that leads to a hallway she’s never been down. “This place could have its own zip code.”

Her innocence shouldn’t be allowed here. Her blonde hair bright enough to light these dimly lit halls. Her smile, a torch guiding me out of a darkness I didn’t know existed.

“It’s big.”

“Big?” She playfully shoves at my arm. “Your dick is big. This manor could be its own country.”

“I’m not sure if I should be flattered or offended by that comment.”

Lake shakes her head and laughs. “Definitely flattered.”

I spin her to face me and catch her lips with my own as she crumples in my arms. Kissing isn’t usually a boundary I’m willing to cross, but now that I’ve felt her lips on mine, I can’t get enough of them. The way her little moans make her mouth vibrate. How my hips pressing against her body quickens her breath.

While she thinks the Midnight Manor is a maze, it’s nothing compared to her. She’s endless, and I’m lost.

Lake groans against my mouth, and I have to peel us apart before I fuck her against the wall. There are cameras in this hall, and I can’t risk anyone seeing her like that. Which is why, anytime I’ve fucked her I’ve been careful about where and how it happened.

My room is safe, and so is hers. As much as I’d like to watch her in her own space, there are certain boundaries I won’t cross for her privacy. And when I fucked her at the show, I made sure the cameras normally pointed in that direction were aimed elsewhere.

I’ll make her come anywhere and everywhere, as long as I’m the only one who sees it.

Pulling back, it takes a moment for her honey eyes to flutter open as she catches her breath. I’m not sure there’s anything more satisfying than the fraction of a second where she’s completely at peace and lost with me.

She smiles, stepping back, keeping a tight hold on my hand. “Where are we going?”

“You’ll see.”

I lead us around another corner. Lake is right, this manor is ridiculous. It makes my house in LA seem like a tool shed in comparison. But at least that feels like home. This place is too grand to feel like anything more than a means to an end.

Stopping us in front of wide-set double doors, I don’t miss that her breath hitches in anticipation. She experiences every moment like it’s the greatest event in all of history. Tiny things she grants every ounce of her appreciation. Which is why, even if this room wouldn’t be considered anything special to most guests here, I know she’ll love it.

I open the double doors and they hit the wall with a hollow thud. The hinges squeak from lack of use, and the room is mildly dusty, but none of it matters. All that does is the light that brightens Lake’s eyes as she absorbs the sight in front of her.

Compared to most other rooms at Midnight Manor, this one is fairly small. There are bookshelves on either wall and a long, oversized couch facing floor-to-ceiling windows. The room overlooks the backyard, and since it’s on the third story, we’re just above the tree line. Through the windows is an endless snowy forest, and Lake’s eyes glisten as she takes in the scene.
