He looks between us as he raises up and brings his blade to my nipple. I hold my breath...will he cut me there? He flicks the tips over it, and I gasp at the pleasure. I look down, but it isn’t cut—just a little scratched—and I feel so much more as he sucks it into his warm mouth. He swirls his tongue around the tender skin before pulling back and doing the same to the other.
He does this another few times, and I see stars as I come undone just from that. My chest rising and falling rapidly, I wonder what would happen if he did cut me...but I’m also not ready find out. Baby steps.
He reaches between my thighs and thrusts two fingers into my wet core.
I reach down and grip his hard cock in my hand. I stroke it and he looks down at me with those piercing pale-blue eyes.
“Fuck, Bella. Ye the one,” he says before shifting me to my side and thrusting his cock deep within me.
I gasp at the sudden fullness. He gives me a moment to adjust at the sudden intrusion, and I watch as his blade slowly traces up my breast, angled so as not to slice me. But just before it reaches my nipple, he spins it slightly, and I watch as crimson trickles down. For a moment, I’m stunned that I don't feel it. Frozen that he did that. Still, I knew there was a chance that would happen tonight, and I knew coming in that blood and knives were his thing.
His mouth kisses the wound and he sucks. The small cut stings and my pussy throbs around his cock. He sucks harder as he thrusts in and out. I grip the sheets, hoping to stay on earth and not float away on the most intense orgasm I’ve ever had. But Madden doesn't let up. He fucks me into the next, and I scream out his name. Over and over until I can't breathe and he pulls out. His hand’s now bleeding more than before. He runs it down my chest, and I can't do anything but watch as he paints me in red.
I watch his cock. He doesn't even touch it as it swells, and then he's coming without even touching himself. He grunts out his release as it paints my body and he’s growling my name. Kissing me and marking me with his teeth. I feel him rub in his release as I pull away and look down at the mess we made. My breast is no long bleeding. There’s just a small red mark where he nicked me.
The white sheets are stained red, and the look Madden gives me has my chest swelling. He’s right...I'm the one for him. Just as he’s the one for me.
I place my hand against his chest and he rests his hand over it, holding me there.
“Ye a masterpiece, princess,” he states and I chuckle.
Yeah, I guess I am. I shiver in the cold of the room, coming down from the high we just had. He wraps his arms around me and brings me to his chest. He wraps his sheets around us and brushes my hair softly from my face.
He kisses my nose and then my lips softly. “Sleep now. I got ye."
I close my eyes.
I got you too, Madden.
CHAPTER22
KEEGAN
Lily sings along to her favorite song from the Barbie movie I’ve got on as she brushes her doll’s hair in the corner of my bedroom. She’s happy and that’s all that matters. I’ll do anything to make sure she feels like this every single day. I’d die protecting her; she’s innocent and I’m all she has. Our mother’s a drunk who can’t even keep herself standing most of the time, and my father is a loose cannon. One wrong word, one wrong move, and he attacks. He’s unpredictable, and that’s why I always need to protect Lily from him.
I look back at my computer to the code I’ve been trying to crack for the past five hours. It stares back at me, teasing me. Bracing my elbows on my desk, I run my fingers through my hair as I read over the code again and again. Then it hits me and I jump back in—I’ve got it. This is a private job. I need this money for Lily to take her away from all of this. I’ve been doing these jobs for the past year, and the money has been piling up. I love cracking codes. It gives me purpose, and there’s nothing like the high I get when I first crack it. It’s like being high on cocaine for the first time.
The doorknob to my room twists, it’s locked. Even before my father starts banging and kicking, I know it’s him. Lily jumps, reaching for me. I press a kiss against her forehead. Grabbing her little hand, I move her swiftly under my desk.
“Stay hidden,” I whisper under my father’s yelling, and her little body trembles. “Promise?” I add to make sure she hears me and she nods.
The banging gets louder and louder.Fucking hell.With a deep breath, I undo the lock, ripping open the door and coming face-to-face with my father. He looks right past me into my room before turning his hard gaze back on me.
“What the fuck are you doing in here? I haven’t given you a job, so you shouldn’t be on here.” He pushes past me, moving over to my computer. Lily stays completely still under my desk.
“I’m just doing some practice tests for school,” I say with a shrug, trying to play it cool.
My father scoffs, and I see the moment he switches from angry to violent. He grabs my favorite keyboard, ripping it away before it collides with the side of my face. Pain rips through me, my ears ring, and I stumble back. But he’s on me in a heartbeat. I squeeze my eyes shut, taking the wrath of my father.Don’t fight back, it will be over soon, I tell myself over and over until I hear her scream.
“Stop, Daddy. Keegs. No,” she cries and my father stops. Lily grabs on to my leg, sobbing.
“Go, Lily, run,” I say, reaching for her, but my father beats me.
He grabs her forcefully by the shoulder, and a loud smack pierces my ears. I see red. I shove my father back, catching him by surprise. He stumbles backward until he hits my wall.
Something snaps inside me. Without giving him a second to react, I pound my fists into his body. He defends himself, but he can’t get a shot in. I’m too quick. Lily cries from somewhere behind me, and my father uses my distraction against me by hitting me right in the cheek. Pain throbs in my head, but I ignore it and land one final blow into his nose. He falls limp against the wall, and I spin around, pulling Lily from the floor.
She snuggles into my neck, her body shaking and her tears soaking my neck. Anger builds up within me. I let her down. I let him touch her.I want to kill him.
