ChapterForty-Four
David
Ruby sucks my finger clean of all our cum and it makes me go hard all over again. I want to take her again and then again and then I want to suck Declan off until he comes in my mouth. I won’t do that though. I will leave the next move for him. I’m hyper aware of something having gone on in his past that Cillian knows about, and I’m not going to rock any boats or force myself on anyone who doesn’t want me.
Ruby’s luscious moan brings me back to her and I smile. She has pushed our hands away, so I can lean in and kiss her, swirling my tongue around her mouth, tasting us.
I pull back a moment later and receive a surprise when Declan presses his lips to mine, before giving me a kiss that rivals the one I just gave Ruby. I fall into it, cupping the back of his head.
“We need to talk soon, Sunshine,” Declan murmurs so quietly, only I can hear.
I nod, but don’t make a big deal out of it. He can come to me when he wants to. He laces his fingers through mine, giving my hand a quick squeeze before he turns back to Ruby.
I get in there before he can though, and say, “So what exactly was your plan there, Rubes?” I know she will appreciate it from me more than anyone else.
She sighs. “The Banker confirmed he is at Black Widows. I was going there to shoot him in the head.”
I blink. That is bloodthirsty, which is fine, but reckless, which is not.
“I’ll take that,” Declan says, leaning forward and grabbing the gun out of the holster still strapped to her thigh. “You are not doing that. End of story.”
“Why?” she asks. “Wasn’t that the plan all along?”
“To take him out under the radar,” Declan explains patiently. “Not to walk up to him and shoot him in the face.”
She shrugs. “Potato, poh-tah-toh,” she says. “End result…he’s dead and I’m alive.”
“And in prison,” Ramsey points out. “I’m with Declan here. We have to be stealthy.”
“Fine,” she grouses and stalks off. “David, you can take over my care tonight. Layton is in the doghouse.”
He snorts with amusement, but follows her out of the room anyway. I join them in the bedroom and disappear into the bathroom to turn on the shower.
When I go back to Ruby, Layton holds his hand up. “This is my thing, and you aren’t taking that away from me,” he informs her.
“But I’m pissed at you,” she pouts, turning him on. It’s obvious from the bulge in his pants.
“Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get to care for you,” he says, taking her elbow and guiding her towards the shower where it’s all steamy and sexy.
It gets me going again. It’s not difficult around her. I seem to walk around with a constant hard-on when I’m with her.
Deciding that I don’t give a shit about anyone else right now, I follow them and take hold of Ruby, lifting her up and placing her on the counter as I kiss her fervently, expressing my undying love for her with this one kiss. She wraps her legs around me, and I take that as my cue to claim her again. I release my cock from my pants and thrust my hips forward, entering her with one, deep stroke.
“Need to feel you come all over me,” I murmur. “Not fair that Layton had that honor earlier.”
He chuckles behind me, smug and annoying. She tightens her hold on me with her thighs, snuggling into me as I ride her slowly and carefully.
We sail the wave of ecstasy together a few moments later, Ruby is soaking my cock and giving me what I need from her.
I cup her face and kiss her nose. “Please don’t be reckless. I need you alive and with me. We all do.”
“I know,” she whispers. “I just want this over with.”
“I get that. It’s been a shit couple of months, and you want to move on with your life. We all do. But there is a right way to do this, ’kay?”
She nods, eyes lowered, suitably sheepish of her actions. I turn to Layton after I stash my dick back in my pants. “See? There are other ways of getting through to her,” I say.
“Yeah, but they aren’t as much fun,” he replies with a wicked smile that makes her laugh.
