“Are we still needed?” I cough, interrupting Sara and Garret. Whatever this planning session is, it should probably be done behind closed doors before clothes start coming off.
While I'm sure Eddie wouldn't mind, everyone else at the table doesn't have the same proclivities.
“No, if you need to head out, please do,” Garret says, not taking his eyes off Sara.
I stand and assist Aria out of her chair. We walk out of the room and back through the atrium.
Chapter
Twenty-Six
Aria
Theo opens the door to the black SUV and leads me inside. I slide across the black leather seat, looking back at the cathedral I have seen hundreds of times. This campus was my home for four years, and I am seeing it completely differently today. Theo gets in the car, sits next to me, and closes the door.
What I thought was an abandoned cathedral that frat parties are held in is actually a secret society headquarters. Some of the missing students had to have been killed there. I'm sure hundreds of people have died in there. I have now been part of a murder plot there. It's not rumors or gossip; I just sat in a meeting discussing how they were going to kill someone.
I take a deep breath, trying to push the tightness in my chest away. Alana has it coming. She has hurt so many people, and her quest for being in the spotlight is the only reason she is in the position she is in today. Whether I was at this meeting or not, the outcome would be the same. She has made herself a threat, and The Court eliminates threats.
The tightness in my chest turns to nausea the more I think about what just happened. Trying to shift my focus off themurder, I had just met several important people in Theo’s life, and they seemed to like me. I think Sara and I could be really good friends, and it seems like she had a not-so-great parental figure in her life, so maybe we can bond over that. Garret also didn't seem as intimidating today, and seeing how he interacts with Sara, someone who loves that hard, can't be all that scary.
Having Parker and Grayson there was both unsettling and comforting. These are guys I've seen on campus. Everybody knows about Parker and Addie, for that matter; he is one of the most loved guys at Acadia. Grayson, on the other hand, is known but not necessarily as loved. There were lots of articles put out last year that painted him in a not-so-great light. Even though we weren't ever friends, it was nice seeing familiar faces and not being the youngest in the room. Even though Grayson is a year younger than me and doesn't officially have his status yet, everyone in the room treated him as an equal. They weren't talked down to or belittled, which gives me comfort that my age won't be a factor in how I am treated while with Theo.
As long as I am with Theo. If our relationship goes badly, I lose all of this. I am not a part of this society; I am only being allowed in right now because I am with Theo and am Alana’s daughter. If Alana wasn't the target, I wouldn't be in this meeting at all. I cannot get too attached; these are strangers. Theo may never be able to take me to another Court function ever again, and I may never see these people again, no matter how much I want to. I can no longer fight the tightness in my chest. I need to stop, I have to focus on something else.
“Daddy.” I need Theo to distract me.
“Yes, baby girl.”
“Can I ask for something?” My voice hesitant. Theo has usually taken charge. The times I have initiated it have been by pushing his buttons and egging him on. I have never asked for soft.
“Of course.” He turns his body towards me.
“I need a distraction,” are really the only words I can form.
“Do you want me to be the distraction?” he clarifies.
“Yes, please.” He pulls me from the seat, pulling me into his lap. The partition between the rows raises, so it becomes just us.
“What kind of distraction do you need, baby?”
“I need to focus on anything but the thoughts in my head.” His hands slide under my dress and gently caress my legs.
“I can help with that.” He smiles as he lifts one hand to my face and pulls me in for a kiss. His touch is tender and sweet. With how much we both love to play, I sometimes forget he still loves me outside of all of that. I grab his neck and pull him in more. I want to forget about the crazy parts of our life together and just be here, with him.
He lifts my dress over my head, leaving me in just my bra and panties. He smiles as his eyes roam my body.
“I heard green was your favorite color.” My cheeks warm as he gently pushes my hair behind my shoulder.
“Whatever color you're in is my favorite color.” I start unbuttoning his shirt, exposing his chest. I love the quiet moments when we are lying together, and I get to study his tattoos. I trace my finger over the chess piece on his chest. A knight. I smile, finally realizing the meaning behind it.
I lower my hand to his belt and begin to unbuckle. Removing this belt has become second nature. Moments later, his cock springs free.
Theo lifts my hips while pulling my underwear to the side. Gently, I'm lowered onto his cock.
It's uncomfortable at first, stretching around him, but it gradually dissipates.
He places his thumb against my clit and begins to rub slow circles. A gentle pressure begins to form in my stomach. He picks up the pace, and I start to crave the friction. I place one ofmy hands on Theo’s shoulders and the other on the roof of the SUV as I begin to take his cock deep and slow, lifting myself until just the tip is left. Each thrust has heat pooling in my core. I lose my rhythm, but Theo buries himself deep into me, as I feel his pulsing cock.
