I would like to think of myself as a person who had an adequate amount of self-control. I never initiated anything with my previous paramours.
I had reveled in the power I had over them when they beg me to let them touch me. I had enjoyed it, dangling the carrot above the rabbit as it jumps helplessly toward it. I was in control.
Until I had been transferred to the New York FBI. I had expected to get along with the change fairly well, being used to handling things with ease. And it was easy. Suspiciously so.
A fucking Golden Retriever in human form. The second my eyes caught him, narrowing down on his figure, I needed to have him. Iâd expected that itâd be easy to seduce him. Wear tighter clothes, bend over a little and theyâll be wrapped around your finger. Men were like that.
He had approached me before my plan had even fully formed in my head, offering me a friendly smile and chatting about the weather and his smileâŠgenuine.
Great, he wasnât traumatized. A smirk tugs at my lips at all the things I could introduce to him as everything he does screams vanilla.
He started talking to me more and we get better acquainted with each other.
âGood Morning, Lianna.â he greets with an up-beat expression as he comes into work that day. How does he get this much energy at this early in the morning.
âMorning, Marc.â I greet, my tone not as enthusiastic, but I flash a flirty smirk at him. He smiles back at me warmly, clearly missing my intentions over the past few months.
As we settle into our desks, going through our routines as per usual, âPsstâŠpsst.â
I turn around, my brows furrowed, as I look at Marcus whoâs adorning a cheeky smile. âSoâŠTeresa said yes to dinner.â he says, looking at me expectantly.
My smile drops for a fraction of a second before I plaster it back on, âR-Really? T-Thatâs great, Marcus.â I wanted to kill myself for the stuttering, I have never stuttered in my life.
He thanks me excitedly as he turns back to his work with a smile, as I turn to my work, a sinking feeling that makes my stomach twist.
Thatâs what this is. Fuck, what did I get myself into? Shouldâve fucked him in the first week and got it out of system, thatâs what this is.
Over the next days, I noticed him even cheerier than before if that was possible at this point. I got shit-faced and fucked a random dude, wishing it was Marcus.
Once my mind cleared, I realized that the woman he was dating now was the best for him. Poor Marcus, innocent.
He doesnât need the chaos Iâd bring into his life, he deserved peace, happiness, love.
I canât give him any of those things. Itâs for the better.
I tried to convince myself. But every time Iâd see them together, my heart would clench and Iâd look away, downing the liquid in my flask, focusing on the burn as it goes down my throat instead.
As the days went on, I noticed him gettingâŠdimmer. His smile looking forced at times and Iâd catch him locked in a heated exchange with her, him looking like he was on the verge of tears as he stood there looking vulnerable as she walks away.
One day, during a particularly stormy night, I was getting up to leave as I had stayed overtime to look into some tips, I pass by the break room and hear the clacking of a keyboard. I take a step back and peer inside.
Marcus was sitting on the couch, his laptop perched on his lap, as he typed furiously, a tightness disturbing his handsome face, his tie loosened and his shoulders drooping like he went through hell.
I knock on the open glass door, âHowdy.â I greet as he looks up and flashes a smile, couldâve fooled anyone but I noticed that it didnât quite reach his eyes.
âHey, Lia.â he greets as I walk into the room, him scooching over to give me space. As I turn to face him, getting a closer look at his eyes that seemed tired andâŠsad.
My stomach twists at the sight and my brow furrows, âAre you okay, Marcus?â I ask, concern lacing my voice.
His smile falters for a minute, âY-Yeah, why wouldnât I be?â he says, plastering a smile.
I raise a brow, âDarling, tell me what happened.â I say, with finality.
His shoulders sag as his smile turns bitter, âNothing ever really gets past you, huh?â
I wait silently, allowing him to speak, âMeâŠand Teresa arenât really doing well.â he admits, looking down at his hands splayed over his keyboard.
I stare at his face, studying his expressions, his jaw clenching as he continues, âI donât know what Iâm doing wrong, I try to make her as happy as possible, but it feels likeâŠIâm not enough.â he completes, his voice wavering.
My heart feels suspiciously constricted, as I take his hand in mine and squeeze reassuringly, he looks at me, his gaze soâŠvulnerable, I can feel my heart clawing at my ribcage to join his, to offer whatever comfort my cold body can give.
He swallows, âI thinkâŠsheâs hiding something from me, and I wonât ask her and Iâm not even going to try to find out, I donâtâŠwant her to feel like I donât trust her. ButâŠI donât know what to do with thisâŠgrowing distance between us. I donâtâŠâ he trails off, looking down at our joined hands.
âI donât wanna lose her.â he completes, my mind tells me to throw out a âDamn, bro. That sucks.â and bolt the hell out of there. But the hitch in my breath as I inhale force me to stay rooted to my seat.
I place a hand on his cheek, turning him towards me, âMarcusâŠyouâre more than enough. Stop thinking that itâs your fault. Youâre an amazing person and everyone knows that except the man himself. TeresaâŠwell,â I trail off, unsure whether to convince him to leave her, so that I can have him, it wouldâve seemed sensible to me a few months ago. But the prospect of taking away a chance like that from him eats at my heart.
âSometimes, people in relationships are hesitant toâŠcommunicate, which is clown behavior because thatâs what is more important in a relationship than anything. How would we know what the other person is thinking, this isnât some rom-com novel for Christâs sake. So talk, it might end up ugly, it might end up in a fight, it might end up all right in the end. Instead of spiraling, go talk to her, big guy. Thought that was what you like to do the most?â I ask with a quirk of my lips.
He lets out a chuckle that quickly evaporates from his face. âButâŠwhat if, Iâm not, you know, appealing?â
My face contorts in confusion before I chuckle, âMarcus, dear, youâve clearly not seen yourself. Youâre hot as hell. Damn, I wanted to jump your bones the second I saw you.â his eyes widen slightly at that, but so does his lips.
âNot now though, Iâm not a creep, I promise.â Liar, liar, pants on fucking fire.
He chuckles, nodding, âIâll talk to her, thank you so much, Lia. Youâre the best friend I could ever hope for.â
An ugly feeling tries to fight itâs way to the surface as I push it back down, him pulling me into a hug.
Okay, I know that I did a good thing and I should feel better, but all I felt wasâŠempty. Like thereâs something missing, but I know what it is. But I wouldnât acknowledge it.
Iâm not gonna put myself through that, though I canât promise I wonât do anything the next time I see Marcus. So I did what any sensible person would do.
I decided the best thing to do was run. Not literallyâhell noâbut I buried myself in a six-month undercover sting to keep my brain off him.
They sent me to another city, new identity, new life. I became Maya Cross, some badass cyber consultant who could hack her way through anything. The job? Infiltrate this ghost-level cybercrime ring moving millions around without leaving a trace.
It was dark, it was lonely, and it was exactly what I needed.
I spent nights glued to my laptop, chatting in encrypted channels, pretending to be someone I wasnât. The only people I talked to were my FBI handler and the shady characters I needed to fool. Marcus? He was a distant memory, a dull ache I shoved down every time I logged on.
By month five, I was deep in itâclose enough to Phantom, the ghost kingpin, to almost touch him. Then, bam, sting day. I was bait, meeting some masked creep in a sketchy warehouse, heart in my throat, trying not to screw it up.
We nailed the transfer, FBI crashed the scene, and chaos erupted. Phantom slipped away, as usual, but we crushed his operation hard.
After it was all over, I packed Maya away, flew back, and stared Marcus down from across the office.
And my heart sank, his hair was a mess, his eyes dark and drooping from lack of sleep, my brows furrowed as I contemplated whether to walk away or talk to him.
My breath shudders as I step away turning around and bumping into someone, my face colliding with their chest, I look up to findâEddie.
A smile makes its way across my face as an equally enthusiastic one forms on his, âEddie?â I ask, my brows furrowed but flashing a smile.
âTrouble?â he asks as he pulls me into a hug by my waist, I giggle as I wrap my arms around him, he laughs deeply, the sound vibrating through me as he hugs me tight.
âOh my God! I havenât seen you in forever!â I exclaim as we pull away from the hug, âYou know how it is, the hustle, babygirl. Damn, youâve grown.â he says, his hands sliding to my hips and squeezing.
A familiar feeling settles low in my belly as I giggle, getting down from my tip-toes. âWell, youâve gotten unbelievably hotter.â I remark, with a bite to my lips.
He chuckles, âYou got any plans tonight?â he asks, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, âDependsâŠwhy?â I ask, feigning innocence.
He smirks and hums, âNothing muchâŠjust, drinks andâŠyou know, weâll talk.â I chuckle, âRight, talk.â
His phone dings, âIâve to go, trouble. Iâll text you the place.â he says, taking my hand in his as he kisses the back of it, flashing me a wink.
âSee you later, gator.â I reply, returning the wink. He hesitantly drops my hand and leaves, his boots tapping heavily against the marble tiles.
I turn around, a full smile gracing my lips, my gaze locking onto Marcus as he stares at me with an unreadable expression. My smile falters for a second before, I plaster it back up flashing it at him, he returns it weakly as he walks toward me.
âHey, thought you got kidnapped.â he says, stuffing his hands in his pockets, I furrow my brow in mock offense and gasp, âAnd you didnât file a report? I thought you cared about me, Pike.â
He flashes me his boyish grin as the ice in my heart melts slightly, âI had an undercover op, top secret, you know how it goes, so, six months, had to leave and drop contact with everyone else.â I explain.
He shakes his head, âI asked Laven, he told me, though I was really worried andâŠI couldâve really used your help with something.â his smile flickers as he talked about the last part.
My face contorts in concern, âWhat happened?â, he sighs before answering, âMe and TeresaâŠwe broke upâŠshe uh,â he trails off, âshe told me she was in love with Jane.â
He finishes and my jaw clenches, as anger spurts into my soul, âPatrick fucking Jane? Is she blind?â I ask, my eyes wide in disbelief.
He nods, âI was going toâŠpropose, and I never got to tell her.â my face drops in sympathy for the man before me. âWhen was this?â I ask, mentally berating myself for jumping into an undercover op to avoid him when I shouldâve been there for him.
âA month ago, Iâm fine thought, and I did take your advice, we talked and we were good for a while untilâŠwe werenât. But Iâm fine, really. I-Iâm getting over it.â he completes, trying to push his hands further into his pocket, looking like heâd tear right through it to shrink further.
âI-â before I can finish, he says, âWell, I should get to work and your probably have reports to take care of. See you later, Lianna.â he says as he walks away.
My mind tells me to follow him, hold him, comfort him, but even though heâs not with Teresa anymore doesnât mean Iâm magically what he needs. Heâs soft, kind, happy.
Iâm cold and bitter, and he doesnât deserve to deal with that.
And so I walk away, like I always do.
That night, I had unexpectedly been give overtime and I had to postpone Eddieâs invitation to tomorrow night to which he replied with, âtake it easy, trouble, see you tomorrow :)â.
I smile at his text, as I turn my phone off and continue working, taking huge gulps of whiskey from my flask because alcoholism is a coping mechanism at this point (Itâs not, yâall).
It had been hours by the time I was done, I was packing my things and getting up to leave when I hear sniffles, my curiosity wounds itâs way to the forefront of my mind as I go towards the sound and see the evidence roomâs door wide open and an almost-empty bottle of whiskey on the floor and next to it, a very wrecked and sobbing Marcus Pike.
The second I see him, I follow my instincts and kneel down next to him, cradling his face in my hands and wiping away his tears, âMarcus, what the actual fuck, dude? Are you trying to kill yourself.â
He looks me dead in the eyes and says, âDoes it matter anymore?â, and the Marcus I know would never say that, he was a hey-think-positive-atleast-youâre-alive person.
I sigh heavily as he reaches for the bottle and tries to drink it but I pry it away from his hands. âYou do know itâs unprofessional to drink at work, right?â I ask with a questioning glare.
He stares as me a smirk tugging at his lips, âYou drink, though.â I raise an eyebrow, âBut do you see me laying down on the evidence room like a drunkard? No. Get up, Marcus.â I say, pinning him with a glare that left no room for protest.
He attempts to stand up, wobbly on his feet as he falls on to me and I catch him, huffing heavily. âWhereâre your things?â I ask him, âIn my locker.â he mumbles into my neck and I suppress the urge to shiver, âYou wanna get them?â I ask, he shakes his head no into the crook of my neck and I clear my throat dragging him and my belongings to my car.
âYou weigh like dead fucking weight, Pike.â he chuckles at that or rambles something crazy, hard to decipher really at his shit-faced state.
I place him in the passenger seat of my car as I get in the driverâs seat, putting both our seat belts on, âAlright, passenger princess. Where to?â I ask, he mumbles something. âWhat, you gotta be louder than that.â he continues mumbling.
I sigh and start the engine, I reach into his pocket and pull out his phone, open it with his thumb and get his home location, I couldâve taken him to my house, but I donât trust myself to stay still if heâs in my space.
I start driving and at a signal, he keeps sniffling, âMarcus?â I ask, he doesnât answer.
âMarcus?â I ask again, âYeah?â he whispers back weakly, almost inaudible.
âAre you okay, hon?â I ask, the familiar sinking feeling back in my bones.
âNo. I just,â he trails off, âwhy couldnât it be me?â I look at him, but donât respond, opting to let him vent it all out instead.
âIâve done every single thing right, for everyone. And no one, no oneâŠstays. They donât choose me. And I know that nobody owes me anything and I donât blame anyone, I canât. ButâŠit inevitably gets lonely, not being chosen. It hurtsâŠso much and I act like everything is fine and nobody sees past thatâŠthey donâtâŠcare enough to.â he completes, his eyes glassy as he looks out the window.
I sigh as I make a turn, âMarcusâŠâ I begin, but he scoffs, âYou donât have to try and comfort me, Lianna. I know you donât care and I donât blame you. Nobody does. Iâm the dumb one, all the fucking time, letting everyone walk away, when I want to be selfish. God, I want to be fucking selfish, but I canât, I canât do that.â
I stop in front of his apartment complex, âFor fuckâs sake, Marcus. Stop the broody hero act. You are not allowing yourself to think that somebody actually cares, yo-â, he cuts me off.
âDo you?â he asks, facing me, his voice fragile in a way Iâve never heard before.
âDo you care about me, Lia?â I hesitate for a moment, not wanting to admit it even to myself.
He smiles bitterly, and turns to face the glass window again, âRight.â he whispers.
His hands reach towards the seatbelt, him getting ready to leave, I place my hand on his which freezes in the middle of undoing the seatbelt.
âI do. So fucking much, Marcus. Iâve never, in my life, cared about anyone the way I have about you. I havenât allowed myself to, but you, without even realizing, I did. And I believe there is not much I wouldnât do for you. And it scares me, Marcus. So fucking much. I donât like to see you sad and it makes me feel like my heart's fucking squeezing when she treats you like you arenât enough.â I place my hand on his jaw.
âBut you are, and you always have been. More than good enoughâŠâ I drop my hand, âMore than I deserve.â
He looks at me almost in awe as his gaze softens and I look away before I do something stupid like kiss him.
âYou should go, get some rest.â I clear my throat and say.
âCome in with me.â he states, bluntly but his tone still vulnerable.
âI donât want to be alone. Not tonight. Please, Lia.â
I couldnât say no if I tried.
I get out of the car and he tries to walk, but still wobbly as he downed almost a full bottle of whiskey, âShouldnâtâve drank that much, Marcus.â I say, helping him into the elevator.
âWorth it.â he says with a smirk.
He heaves into the toilet again and again, as I rub his back in soothing circles. Eventually the never ending waterfall of consequences run out and he comes back up for air.
I help him up as he washes his mouth, a chuckle makes itâs way out of me, âStill worth it?â I ask, smugly.
He shoves his middle finger in my face while rinsing his mouth. I smile, and leave him to it as I walk to his kitchen to fetch him a glass of water.
His house reflects his personality, well organized but homely.
I take a glass and wait for the water fill up when Marcus pads into the room, looking like shit. âWell donât you look like an angel.â I say, âDonât start, Lia.â
I hand the glass of water to him, and our hands brush together, his eyes meeting mine, the touch lingering for a moment longer than necessary. âThank you.â he says, as he gulps the water, his gaze flicking up and down my body.
He says before I can finish, and before I have a chance to protest, the heavens open the skies and heavy rain taps along the window of the apartment.
He raises an eyebrow in a half of a challenge, âWell, even the rain agrees.â he says, smirking smugly.
My phone dings from across the room and I walk over and reply to the texts from my mom about some dog she saw, God bless her soul.
We texted for a few minutes before I made some half-assed excuse and turned my phone off.
By the time I was texting my mom, Marcus had already placed two glasses of wine and was already sipping his.
âHuh. Didnât take you for an alcoholic, Pike.â I state in mock disbelief as I take my wine and sip, letting the flavor burst on my tongue and the slight prickly feeling of it going down my throat.
âOnly on special occasions.â he says leaning on the counter across from me, our hands inches apart.
âSpecial? Thought you were having a depression monologue some time ago.â I reply with a tilt of my head.
âWell, I should think positive. AndâŠI donât know if I was fully into it anyway.â he says, sounding bolder with the alcohol pumping through his veins.
âMeaning?â I ask, taking another sip, as I catch him staring at my throat bob while I swallow. âI justâŠthink I was more in love with the idea of pleasing her, I did love her, but I think I fell out of it when she started becoming distant. And thisâŠfeeling is probably desperation.â he completes.
I raise my brow, leaning towards him now, âWow, character development, Marc. Good job.â he smiles but it falters when his gaze falls on my lips for a split second and I straighten up, my breath hitching.
He clears his throat, âLia?â
âDo you like movies?â
We were both curled up on the couch, watching a random rom-com, one bottle of wine sitting empty on the coffee table, my mind buzzing, but Iâm too busy fighting my horny demons.
He looks different now, in the soft glow of the TV, a navy blue T-shirt and grey sweatpants, his bicep stretching the sleeve of his shirt deliciously.
He seems invested in the movie, laughing along when they say some stupid joke.
He looks peaceful and I canât stop the smile that stretches my face.
He looks at me and my smile drops as his does too, his gaze sharpens and he swallows, I look away clearing my throat and attaching my eyes to the screen.
He seems to pause for a second then sighs as if making a decision and turns off the TV, plunging the room into darkness other than the moonlight.
âMarcus?â I ask, turning towards him, feeling him, but not seeing him.
âLianna.â he replies, his voice octaves lower that I almost donât recognize him.
I hear the sound of shuffling as my heart raises, arousal spiking low in my belly.
He grumbles something undecipherable, as my lungs constrict, afraid that Iâll break the moment if I breathe too loud.
âYou told me you think about meâŠwhen we talked in the break room.â he states, the rumble of his voice joining the frantic beating of my heart.
âY-Yeah, I did.â I reply, trying to sound indifferent.
âDid you touch yourself thinking about me?â
âMarcus-â my voice comes out breathless.
âDid you touch yourself?â he asks, firmer this time, with a tone I never thought Marcus Pike would use.
I take in a shaky breath, âYes, Marcus. I used to touch myself thinking about you.â I reply, trying to crawl my way towards control that keeps slipping away from my greasy hands.
His hands graze my thigh, his voice sounding closer, âDo you still do that?â he asks, fingers twitching slightly on my denim-clad thighs.
Boldness sparks in my being as I lean towards him, placing my hand on his, âYes.â I reply, locking my eyes with his as the moonlight strikes perfectly across his face.
His breath comes out shaky as he starts leaning toward me, unsure, but I meet him halfway, threading my fingers through his hair as I tug him closer, his lips crashing against mine as he makes way for his tongue in my mouth.
Our tongues tangle together for dominance as his hands slide up my thighs and lands on my waist, I straddle him, our lips steadily moving together as we taste the wine and desperation in the otherâs mouth. I tug his hair and break the kiss, leaving wet kisses at the line of his jaw, and sucking my mark under his jaw harshly, he moans as his fingers slip under my shirt.
Realization dawns on me like an ice bucket, cooling the hot, bottomless pit of my arousal. I pull away, breathing hard and meeting his lust-glazed eyes, âYouâre drunk, Marcus. This isnât what you want.â
He looks at me, âDo you not want it?â
What a stupid fucking question.
âYesâfuck, of course I do. But, you donât and I-Iâm not gonna become a rebound hook-up for you to forget Teresa.â I blurt out, my throat suspiciously tight.
My past self would slap me across the face.
He chuckles, he grabs my hand and shoves it to his crotch, making me feel his hardness, âYou think Iâve been this hard for Teresaâhm? All for you, honey.â he says, with a lilt to his voice that is far from what Iâve seen of him.
My arousal creeps back in and I squeeze his bulge earning a shuddering groan from him as I connect our lips once more, earning a satisfied grunt from him. His fingers sneaking over my hips and under my shirt as he grips hard but gentle enough not to bruise.
He pulls away from the kiss, as he trails my neck with his lips, wet kisses lining them as he whispers against my pulse point, âNeed to,â he presses a soft kiss to my pulse, ââneed to taste you, baby.â
I look down at him, cradling his face, âPlease?â he asks, his eyes so innocent, so different to the nature of what heâs asking me to do.
I nod biting my lip and he kisses me sloppily once more before he lays me down on the sofa and hovers on top of me, his lips teasing the spot behind my ear, nipping and sucking gently. âSo pretty. Beautiful.â he whispers as he kisses over my chest and reaches my belly.
He lifts my shirt and pops open the button on my jeans, dragging the zipper down. I breathe heavily in anticipation as he hooks his thumb into the waistband and pulls.
He delicately peels it off and throws it to the floor unceremoniously, his eyes trained on the triangle piece of fabric, especially the soaked spot, nestled between my legs as he gulps. I notice his reaction and smirk, my teeth glinting in the moonlight, I spread my legs wider, giving him a good look of my clothed pussy as my hand snakes downward and plays with itâs waistband.
âYou gonna stare or do something about it, pretty boy? Sheâs so wet it hurts.â I say as I press a finger over my clothed entrance.
He lets out a shuddery breath and places his hot mouth over my clothed pussy almost as if he couldnât help it, and licks a stripe over it. My body tingles at the feeling and my body wars with the need to push him closer to where I want and to let him have his own pace.
I fist my hands and will them to stay still as he eases my panties off me and discards it on the floor. He turns back to my pussy as he nestles his head between my thighs, his hot breath fanning over my glistening heat.
He spreads my folds almost hesitantly first, collecting my wetness on his fingers and he sighs before spreading my folds with his thumbs, reaching for my clit with his lips as he latches onto it and sucks.
A moan escapes my throat at his action and I try not to buck my hips, he licks and sucks at my clit, travelling downwards with his mouth and swirls his tongue in my entrance, thrusting in and out steadily, successfully breaking me open.
I moan helplessly as my hand finds its way to his hair as I tug him closer to where I need him and he groans in pleasure, the sound vibrating in my cunt.
His hands grip my hips as he works me over the edge relentlessly, âYou taste so good, Lia,â he licks a stripe up my slit, ââcanât stop. Best pussy Iâve ever eaten.â
His words make me squirm as I smirk at his new side which Iâm very clearly enjoying, arousal gushing between my folds. When his tongue glides over my clit, flattening just right and curling, making me cry out in pleasure.
I feel my orgasm coming low in my belly, âMarc, Iâm gonna-â
He takes a break from making out with my pussy and says, âCome on, Lia. Cum for me.â his lips brushing my cunt, as I shiver and cum with a cry, a firm grip on his scalp.
I breath heavily, coming down from my high as he kisses his way back up my body, lifting my shirt and tugging it off.
I reach for his and he helps me discard it on the floor carelessly as he strips completely and by the time he turns, I had already taken off my bra, throwing it somewhere behind me.
He turns to me, his eyes raking over my body as his hands land on my waist as he cradles my cheek with one of his hands, and kisses me sloppilyââBedroom?â he asks, his eyes twinkling innocently, I nod, biting my lip.
He attacks my lips again and places his hands under my thighs and picks me up, my legs wrapping around his waist instinctively, as we continue making out.
The short walk to the bed was a blur in my head as he drives me crazy with his mouth, his tongue dipping in and hooking with mine as he whispers sweet nothings with his actions. He closes the bedroom door behind me, and walks toward the bed and lays me down, our lips connected the whole time.
He tastes exactly like I imagined, warm and even sweeter. His hand trails down my neck and he breaks the kiss as he looks down, his thumb flicking over my nipple.
âSo Goddamn perfect.â he states before taking one of my nipples in his mouth and toying with the other. His naked hardness presses against my heated core and I grind down on him as he groans. His hips buck as I grind down faster.
âPlease,â I trail offâhe looks at me, âFuck me, Marcus.â I added. He growls lowly as he attacks my lips with a harshness and sloppiness that made my head spin. He reaches with his hand and enters a finger in me, working me open.
I moan and squirm helplessly as he adds another, my slick coating his fingers as he scissors me open. He reaches for my hips and sheathes his cock in my wet heat as we let out a collective moan of pleasure, our foreheads pressing together.
He gives me a moment to adjust to his size as he slowly starts thrusting in, a moan slipping past my lips. He pulls out and slams back in again to the hilt, my body on fire with the onslaught of sensations as he marks my chest, groaning into the crook of my neck.
His pace was controlled, held back. I wrap my legs around his hips as I whisper in his ear, âFaster.â
He picks up his pace as he slowly lets go of his self-control and starts slamming into me at a pace which makes me see stars, the hair at his base flush against my clit, producing delicious friction.
His grip on my hips tighten as I weave my fingers through his hair and he sighs before pounding into me but still controlled as if he had a voice at the back of his head that told him to be gentle. A smirk makes itâs way across my face, Iâm going to have so much fun making him lose that control.
But this is a one time thing, the thought hits me like a freight train as I realize the reality of the situation. Heâs in a vulnerable position and he needed comfort, I was simply there. The only sensible thing is to make it worth his while, this is the only comfort Iâll let myself have with him.
Making up my mind, I flip us over, him laying flat on the bed and me straddling his hips as he looks at me bewildered, his hands immediately going to my hips.
I lean down to his ear, âLet me take care of you, pretty boy.â
He takes a sharp intake of breath at that and I smirk, the familiar buzz of control swimming in my veins as I brace my hands on his chest and rise up before slamming down harshly, letting out a sigh of pure bliss as the angle is so much deeper and fuller now.
He lets out strangled moans and groans as I ride him like itâs my last day on Earth and his hands tighten around my hips guiding me. I continue my relentless pace as I peer down at him, his sweat slicked skin gleaming in the moonlight, his glassy eyes and blown-out pupils, all the result of the pleasure I gave him. Heâs this vulnerable for me.
The thought gives me renewed energy as I ride him with fervor, the knot at my lower stomach tightening and about ready to burst. I feel myself getting closer to orgasm and I look to him to see his brows furrowed in concentration.
âYou close?â I ask him, he nods, his Adamâs apple bobbing as he swallows. I lean down and kiss him, he takes a firm hold of my hair, and I caress his jaw, slamming down on him continuously, my tits flush with his chest.
I clench around him as I cum, he follows soon after, shooting deep, hot ropes of cum in me as I collapse on him, panting together heavily. Our breaths mingle together as he smiles cheekily after coming down from his high, I lift one eye brow in confusion as a traitorous smile makes itâs way across my face.
He shakes his head and kisses my nose, caressing my jaw. Our eyes meet and we hold it for a minute before I snap out of it. I slowly get off his cock as his spent starts leaking out of me.
His brow furrows in regret, âIâm on the pill. Sâfine, pretty boy.â, he nods once and smiles, before getting up and going to the connected washroom.
I sigh heavily as he leaves, the weight of my decision in contrast to the light weight of the blanket grounding me. Iâll be an adult and talk it out with him when he comes back. Surely, it meant nothing. Just a one-time thing.
He comes back and I expect him to roll around and sleep, except he slowly peels the sheets off me and spreads my legs, taking a wet rag and cleaning me up with the concentration of a topper solving a math problem.
My heart swells at his gesture that Iâm unfamiliar with, I wince slightly as he wipes at a sore part of me. his face contorting as he mouths âsorryâ.
I smile and shake my head, he finishes cleaning me up and tosses the rag on the bedside table and joins me on the bed, pulling me close to his chest, pressing a feather-light kiss to the crown of my head. His erratic heartbeat my lullaby as I slowly fall asleep.
Iâll talk to him tomorrow.
I didnât, in fact, talk to him the next day.
I woke up tangled in his sheets, my face buried in his chest as he sleeps peacefully next to me, a soft smile gracing his face.
Guilt crashes over me in waves as I realize that he must not have wanted it and was probably too drunk out of his mind to care. I slowly sneak out of his bed with the practiced steps of a professional as I go to the living room and my eyes widen at the scattered clothes.
I scavenge for my clothes as I wear them one by one. I gather his clothes too as I fold them in a neat pile and place it next to the nightstand. I get a water from the kitchen and a hangover pill, and get the fuck out of the place.
The ride back to my apartment consisted of holding back tears (itâs the fucking allergies), as I wipe at the ones that escape and I sniffle, thinking about falling children to entertain myself.
I quickly showered and changed trying my best to ignore the ache between my legs and my heart as I drive to the office.
I reach my desk and place my things, looking over to see Marcusâ desk empty. My brow furrows in concern as I start to wonder why heâs late.
You literally ditched him, you donât deserve to worry about him.
I shake my head and was about to get to work when someone places a coffee cup on my desk, I follow the hand to see Eddie with a sheepish grin on his face. I return the smile as he kisses my cheek, âMorninâ, trouble. Sleep well?â he asks, his deep voice revibrating through the room, but doesnât make my heart clenchâŠlike someone elseâs does.
âKind of.â I was fucking my colleague for who I have harbored feelings for as long as he smiled at me and opened his handsome Goddamn mouth, but Iâll never tell him cause Iâm a pussy.
Eddie returns it, âRough night, huh?â
âWe still on for drinks, right?â he asks, pointing his finger at me, âOf course, Iâll meet you there.â I reply as he smiles, pulling me into a hug by the waist, kissing my neck.
I look over his shoulder during the hug, making direct eye-contact with Marcus, his eye dark and jaw clenched in an expression very different from Marcus Pikeâs default expression.
He lets go of the hug, and winks at me before leaving, I offer him a weak smile, Marcusâ expression steering something dark and dirty in me as I clear my throat, taking a large gulp of the coffee, letting the scalding hot liquid burn my tongue to forget his gaze still piercing me.
He walks over to my desk, I avoid eye-contact with him, finding the file that I finished yesterday very interesting as I flip through it, ignoring his presence. He slams a coffee cup down on my table as I suppress the urge to jump, and he walks away without a word.
He was late because he went to buy me coffee?
I ignored him for the rest of the day, like bouncing the teacher whoâs class you bunked and I hid.
But desperate times call for desperate fucking measures.
I enter the evidence room to gather the findings from the latest case, and I hear the door lock and close behind me. I turn around to see Marcus, standing with his arms crossed. A dark bruise on his neck.
âWhy did you leave?â his eyes were different now, soft, vulnerableâŠsad. Because of me.
My throat closes in on itself, âMarc-â
âI-Is it because it wasnât good enough. You didnât enjoy it? You said you cared about me. D-Did you lie? Iâm sor-â
I grab his shirt collar and pin him against the wall.
âWill you fucking listen for once? Fucking listen to me.â
He looks at me shocked but doesnât say a word.
âI never lied to you, I never have. I meant every fucking word. But just because I care about you doesnât mean I have to sleep with you more than once. It was a one time thing, you were drunk, you needed comfort. I was willing to provide it. We fucked. It was casual, it wasnâtââ Love. I swallow thickly, ââanything else. And if I ever hear another apology from your lips I will fucking kill you. Is that clear?â I finish, my throat threatening to close completely as the lump grows bigger as I spew lie after lie.
He looks down, not meeting my eyes and nods. I let go off his collar, stepping back and turning around, running a hand through my hair, biting my lips to keep my tears at bay.
Me loving him will only end badly for him, if I have him, I wonât let him go.
Heâs better off without me
âIs it because of him?â Marcus asks in a tone I donât recognize.
I sigh, turning around, âMarcusâŠâ his eyes were glassy like he was fighting tears too.
âDo. You. Love. Him?â
He cuts me off by clashing our lips together, immediately forcing his tongue in my mouth as I kiss him back, my fingers finding itâs place back to his familiar tresses.
He groans into the kiss as he pulls me impossibly closer by the waist, as he tugs at my hair harshly, deepening the kiss. Pleasure tingles through my body, he pushes me against the wall and attacks my neck, marking me furiously.
âMarcus, we shouldnât-ââhe sucks at my pulse point and I let out an embarrassing moan, ââshouldnât be doing this. You donât want it.â
He pries my leg apart with his hand and lifts one of my thighs, using the extra space to press his raging hard-on to my clothed core. We moan collectively, our breaths mingling together.
âDoes this feel like I donât want you? Iâve wanted you the second I saw you. I tried not to let it get to my head,â he thrust his lower half to mine and my head falls to his shoulders at the friction.
âTried to forget you. Thought youâd never want me.â He connects his forehead with mine, âThat didnât really work out.â
I breathe heavily, my wet panties clinging to my skin and I wince as he grinds down harder on me.
âUnless you donât want this?â he asks, looking unsure for the first time since he kissed me.
I curse under my breath, as I make quick work of his belt, âJust shut the hell up and fuck me.â
He smirks, innocently boyish, as he helps me take off his jeans and he tugs up my skirt, finding my panties.
âJesusâyouâre so wet. You like this, huh? Making him think he has a chance and then letting me fuck you against a wall the next.â his filthy words help fuel my arousal as I squirm helplessly in his firm grip.
He shimmies my panties down it pool around my ankles, kissing me sloppily again, tongues clashing, drool-slick lips as he nips at my jaw, âNobody can see you like this ever againâjust me, you understand?â he asks, and I canât help but nod as my fingers tighten on his broad shoulders.
He positions his dick at my entrance as he enters me in one go, I clench around him and cry out, he puts his hand over my mouth as he whispers, âYou donât want anyone to hear you crying on my cock, do you?â
A mixed feeling of pride and arousal swirls around my heart as I revel in the fact that I make Marcus Pike, the default softie, golden retriever sunshine boy, talk like the only language he knows is filth.
He slams into me and thrusts in and out relentlessly, without a thought of holding back and my orgasm is dangerously close.
He brushes against my G-Spot and my eyes roll back and I let out a moan, muffled by his large hand covering my mouth.
âYou know that anyone can take one look at the security cameras and see you getting ruined by me, right?â I let out a moan, âYou want them to see you cry so pretty, hmâ drunk on my cock?â
The stark difference in his behavior almost makes me laugh.
The possible laugh turns into a whimper as he lifts my leg higher, slamming directly at my G-Spot, I moan loudly at that, the sound coming out muffled.
âRight there?â he asks, I moan, squirming.
He smirks, âYeah, right there.â he confirms before thrusting into me relentlessly, and I whimper, squirming, letting him take and give as much as he wants.
My orgasm crashes into me without warning and I dig my blunt nails into his back as I clench around his cock, âThere we goâfucking strangling me.â he comments as he kisses me sloppily, thrusting again and again, chasing his own high and he comes with a groan, releasing his cum deep in my cunt as we breathe together.
He slowly pulls off of me, and his spent threatens to drip out but he uses his finger and plugs it back in, âYouâre gonna walk around with my cum in you.â he says as he wraps his hand around my waist possessively and crushes me in a hug.
He gets dressed and I fix my skirt, pulling my panties back on, after weâre done, we stop for a beat and he looks at me. He cups my cheek tenderly in his hand as he kisses me softly, almost reverent.
âLianna. I love you. I always have. Iâve always been too scared to believe that someone would actually want me. You deserve someone who can keep up with you. Someone interesting. Bold. Not boring like me. So I tried to forget you, dated Teresa, put all my efforts and feelings for you into her. ButâŠseeing you with himâŠI canât. Iâm not going to let you go when I can do something about it. I will be better for you. Iâll give you whatever you want. I love you, Lianna. I love you so much it hurts to breathe.â
My breath gets stuck in my throat, âI-I canât, I need to go.â I rip out of his hold before a tear falls down my cheek and rush out of the evidence room.
Walking into the bar Eddie had texted me about, the smell of booze, sweat and bad decisions invade my lungs. I look around the bar and I see Eddie waving at me from the booth in the corner. I wave back with a smile and join him.
He hugs me, âTook ya long enough, trouble.â he remarks
I was late because I tried to avoid Marcus but he still saw me regardless, while I was on the phone with Eddie. He walked away without a word, his face giving away nothing.
I shake off the memory as Eddie hands me a glass of whiskey.
I eagerly take it and chug the whole thing in one go, Eddie whistles, âStill a drinker, huh?â, he pourse me more, âStill a criminal, huh?â I joke, he smirks mid-sip.
We talk for a while I drink glass after glass and we had finished about three and a half bottles, I was shit-faced and Eddieâs hand started stroking my thigh mid-convo. I lean into it, trying to forget someone elseâs gentler touch as Eddie kisses me, all tongue and heat.
I try to get lost in it, but two brown pools of eyes keep flashing in my mind the second my eyes close. Eddie notices it and pulls back, his steel-blue eyes locked on mine.
âEverything alright?â
âYeah, yeah.â I try to pull him back.
He moves away, chuckling.
âItâs that guy at the office isnât it?â
My eyes widen and my lack of a response gives him confirmation.
He turns to face me and cups my face turning it towards him, âCome on, sweet pea. Tell me whatâs wrong.â
My bottom lip juts out as I try to keep the tears at bay, though it streams down anyway. I hiccup and tell him all about it and I was telling him about when I dropped him off at his place.
âAnd you fucked him.â he says nonchalantly.
âHowâd you know?â I ask, my words slightly slurring together.
âI saw your hickey this morning, and that chapâs look when he saw you hugging me.â he replies
âBut whatâs the problem here? You fucked him, ok done. So what?â
I look at him guiltily. He appears confused for a while.
âYou love him.â he says, and I donât reply, neither denying it nor confirming.
âDoes he love you?â he asks, âHe gave a monologue why he does. And my heart fluttered, Ed. Fluttered.â
Eddie chuckles, âThen whatâs the problem here, babygirl? You love him, he loves you. Why donât you go for it.â
I shake my head, looking down.
âIs this because of Teila?â the name makes my blood run cold as I look away, my jaw clenched in anger.
âForget her, sweet pea. It wasnât your fault she died.â my breath hitches as the flashbacks hit me like a slap.
My first girlfriend, I was young then. Naive. She loved me, she said.
I wouldâve killed for her.
But she cheated on me. With my best friend.
He was a troubled guy, always getting into fights, he killed her when he got angry once. Beat her to death and then didâŠ
I shut my eyes tightly, not letting myself go there.
Everyone Iâve ever loved found a reason to destroy themselves when they get associated with me.
It must be a curse at this point.
âDonât talk about her.â I say, my tone controlled by rage leaking through the cracks.
Eddie sighs, placing a hand on shoulder, âYou are not unlovable, my dear. Let yourself trust him. I know itâs not easy. But he loves you, so clearly, and he is still trying, even when you try to resist. Let yourself rest, sweet girl. You deserve love and happiness. You deserve to make people feel happy. You deserve to live without punishing yourself for things that werenât your fault.â
I look up at him, my tears flowing freely, I nod biting my lip. âItâs not easy, it really fucking isnât.â
âI know it isnât, darling. But it gets easier, to free yourself from what hold you back, you have to struggle a bit, but as time goes on, with the right people, itâll just be a distant memory, still present, but it canât hurt you now.â
I sob, tears falling into my mouth as he pulls me closer and hugs me.
âNow, now. Stop crying, what was that you used to say? Ah, right. Bad bitches donât cry.â I chuckle as he gently wipes away my tears.
âBut what if I ruin Marcus, just like I did Teila. Just like I did everyone else.â
âYou didnât ruin Teila, she made her own choice. And Marcus, even when you pushed he pulled, I hope heâs smartâfor your sake. Heâll make the right choice, honey. Itâs up to you now.â
I nod, thinking it over in my mind, my jaw clenching in determination.
âSo are we going to just sit here or go get your man?â
Eddie drops me off at Marcusâ apartment with an encouraging smile and a âGo get him, trouble.â
Standing outside his apartment door, heavily drunk and shit-faced, the anxiety coursing through my veins almost made me piss myself. But I took a deep breath and pressed the door bell, but I missed, my vision blurring, I try again, failing.
I resort to knocking, then banging after a few seconds, before my fist lands against the wooden door once more, it opens, my hand landing on Marcusâ chest. I look up at him, to see his confused expression.
âLianna? Whatâre you doing here?â he asks, eyes wide in concern. I hiccup, âWanted toâhicâsee you.â
He drags me in gently by the arm and closes the door, I try to stand still but collapse on him, âAre you drunk?â he asks, I furrow my brows and my lips jut out in a pout, âNoooo.â
He looks at me and blinks, âRight, sure youâre not.â, he tries to move but I bury my nose in his chest, âYou smell goood.â I say, drawing out my words, slurring together. He clears his throat as I nuzzle my face against his bicep.
âIâm sorry.â I say, feeling the familiar lump make it back in my throat as he strokes my hair tenderly. âFor what?â He asks, tilting my face to meet his eyes but I avert them, hiccupping.
He leads me to the couch and leaves, getting me a glass of water, âDrink.â he passes it to me. I scrunch my face in disgust as I shake my head no. He sighs and before he can speak, my stomach decides itâs time to empty itself as I cover my mouth.
His eye widen in panic as I run to washroom and vomit out the dayâs contents into the toilet as he holds my hair back.
I heave wave after wave of half digested goo as I slump down on the toilet, he helps me up and I wash my mouth, he flushes the toilet and I fall into him completely.
He makes me sit down on the bed and retrieves the glass of water and hands it to me, âYou gonna drink it now?â, I pout before giving in and swallowing the cool liquid, my face relaxing at the sensation.
I drink the whole glass and he takes it and places it on the nightstand. He opens a drawer and grabs a hair-tie and starts tying my hair. âWhy do you have hair-tieâs?â I ask, suspiciously.
He chuckles, âWhy? You jealous?â
I look him in the eyes and nod. His expression falters for a minute before he answers, âMy sister. She always forgets it, so I have these for her in case she forgets them.â
I nod once, satisfied with his answer, he tries to leave again, but I grab his wrist, he turns back and looks down at me as I look up at him, trying not to tear up.
He sits down next to me and grabs my face in his hands, âHey, hey. You alright?â
I shake my head no as I take in a deep breath, I shut my eyes tightly before opening them.
âI love you too, Marcus. And I have from the moment I heard your voice, from the moment I realized that you actually cared about me and youâre not doing it due to some obligation. I love you even though you deserve so much better than me. Iâm broken beyond repair, thisâŠvoid in meâŠcanât be filled and I didnât want you to waste your time trying to. But thenâŠtoday, you told me that you loved me, and I felt whole again, I felt like me. You help me become better for myself, but you deserve so much more than someone learning to love you, but I love you, and I can-â
Completely, Wholly. With all the love and power he can muster, pouring his emotions into it and demanding mine as I give it to him like an offering of my soul.
He pulls back and connects his forehead with mine, after placing a kiss on top of it, âNot a word about anything bad about you, Lianna. You are perfect and everything I need. You arenât learning to love, you know how to, you just havenât allowed yourself to in so long.â
âYou donât get it, Marcus. Iâm a nightmare, I-â
âWell, the nightmare left me water and hangover pills and comforted me when I really needed someone. And loves me. Even though sheâs scared to.â
Tears slip out of my eyes as I bite my lips, unable to make any audible sound as he kisses away my tears.
âI love you, Lianna Rosewood. More than you can ever measure or compare. Donât doubt yourself or my love for you. Youâre it for me. Let me love you.â
I let out a sound that is equally a sob and a chuckle, a smile spreading through my face, âI love you too, Marcus Pike. More than Iâve ever allowed myself to. More than I ever planned to. My light in the dark days, Iâm going to love you.â
