Page 69 of Imperfection is Beauty

I felt his shoulders tense even harder underneath my hands, how the hell was that possible?

But what I was sure of, was that he didn’t speak until he had my eyes locked with his, “Shortcake, the other women, haven’t been many, they got maybe a fourth of me. But gave you half of me already. We do this, you’ll get all of me. It’s going to get worse.”

I shrugged, “Marcus, if I get to have all of you, then I don’t care.”

He smiled down at me, and then, he nodded, “Okay, we’re a couple. But I’m not cementing this and making love to you for the first time when there are people outside in the apartment. I’m damn sure not letting anyone hear the sounds you make when I make you come. That’s for me and me alone.”

And then, he had his lips on mine, kissing me, ravaging me.

I was all here for the dominance.

The control.

Matter of fact, I finally got to experience that wetness that women talk about when they’re turned on.

Oh, the magic of his kiss.

Marcus

I knew she was breathy from the kiss I laid on her, and her lips were puffy as I led her out of her bathroom and into her living room.

“So, you’re his woman now?” Knox asked Scarlett.

She looked up at me, and then smiled, then looked at Knox and nodded, “Yes. And he’s mine. Only mine. I’ll cut a bitch.”

Knox and Fiona both smiled, showing they got it.

Leaning down, I pressed my nose in her hair and whispered, “Noted.”

Thirty minutes later the bond between the dog, whose name is Kalani was cemented.

It was almost as if it was kismet.

Scarlett moved, and Kalani moved.

Best fucking four grand I ever fucking spent.

We were sitting there, Scarlett was rubbing between Kalani’s ears, who was a Lycan Shephard, when Knox tilted his head at Scarlett, and asked, “You’re not scared of me?”

I was so proud of her when she shook her head, “No. Because of three things. One, I think your woman could drop you if you made a move, it’s in the way you look at her. You wouldn’t do a thing if she told you not to.”

Fiona smiled and nodded.

“Second, with Marcus here, I don’t have to be afraid. He would never bring anyone near me that could hurt me.” She figured that out at the game.

A zealous fan had skirted the security guards and crowded into her. I dropped him so fast and then threatened him with bodily harm if he ever came near her again.

And third, this dog keeps growling at you every time you move closer to me.”

“Good. That’s what she’s supposed to do.” Fiona smiled and then clapped her hands.

Ten minutes later we were walking the two of them out of her apartment when Knox stopped, looked at Scarlett, and asked, “Know a man hurt you? Want his name.”

She smiled at him, then said something that I never saw coming, never in my fucking life, “My dad took care of it. You might know him.”

I watched as Knox’s body went tense, and then he moved in front of Fiona, “Yeah?”

She smiled, “My dad knows Fiona too. He said the two of you were good people.”
