Chapter 39
MYKEL
Rage blinded me that I could barely grip into my self-control. I was mad at myself for not being there to keep her safe. I was beyond furious at Gary fucking Merick for assaulting my wife, but no matter how I wanted to blame Adley for not telling me, I couldn’t. I couldn’t even yell at her, and I could barely look at her for the guilt I felt inside. Somehow, I blamed Lex, and I blamed myself even more.
“Just get it over with.” She was undressing herself. “Scream out the rage and anger inside your chest. It’s my fault that I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to get in trouble.”
“So I should thank you for doing me a favor. Is that it?” I grunted, asking her sarcastically.
“I know how you feel about Gary, Mykel.”
“We’ve talked about keeping secrets, yet here we are again.” I threw my hands in the air. “If your assistant didn’t call the cops and me, you would have been hurt, Adley. Do you know how it feels watching someone I care about get hurt? Of course, you don’t. At that moment, I wanted to stop the fucking time. No. Fuck that! I wanted to throw him into the chasm in the desert so he can’t fucking hurt you again.”
She put on that pretty lace sleepwear and came to me. “I’m sorry. I tried not to talk about it when Grandpa told me it had been handled. It’s still terrifying.” The word terrifying cut my chest so deep that it hurt like a motherfucker.
“You’re almost violated. Lex should not have trusted that asshole in the first place. I know an asshole when I see one.”
She rested her palm on my chest and sighed. She could feel the rise and fall of my chest and the stupid rapid beating of my heart. “Look, I know you are mad right now, but what is important is I’m okay. You stopped Gary, and I’m safe.”
I looked her in the eye. “You’re not going to work or get out of the house without a bodyguard. Don’t even argue with me on this. And I should have done this a long time ago.”
“Seriously?” She glared at me before she went into the bedroom. “It’s over. We’re filing charges against him. I don’t need someone to babysit me.”
“Not only him. There are still a lot of people who want to hurt or kidnap you because you’re a Kross’ heiress. You’re married to me. Believe it or not, Kross has spent decades with the fortune to build the empire and influence. Your family is more powerful than you’d like to admit. Lex should have hired you a bodyguard since you started living independently.”
“Your exaggeration is unparalleled, Mykel. I was fine weeks ago until I met you. But I’m tired. It’s been a long day. I don’t wanna discuss this right now.”
“I’m tired too. I’m tired of thinking of how to keep you safe. I can’t concentrate on my work. I can’t do anything because I keep thinking about you when you are not with me. And you’re a pain in the ass.”
“I still object to having a bodyguard like a dog following me. The answer is no.” She was a strong-headed alpha woman. I got it. We both wanted dominance and control of our own lives, but I wouldn’t let her win over this.
“You will work with your bodyguard, or you will work from home.”
She laughed sarcastically. “Is that a threat?”
“Call it whatever you want. Now take off your clothes,” I barked an order.
With a brow raised, she stopped at the foot of the bed. Her cheeks turned red. “Excuse me?”
“Your excuse of not being in a mood shtick is getting old, Adley. If you don’t want me to rip that thing off your skin, you better get naked and spread your legs wide for me.”
“No way.” I watched her pupils widen. She swallowed hard in anticipation yet still tried to resist her needs. “If you want to make love with me, all you have to do is ask nicely, and you can’t order me or force me to sleep with you.”
“Who said about making love with you?” I narrowed my eyes at her and made sure I was dead serious about my command. And down below, I was already fucking hard. I missed her so fucking much, but I played along with her excuse for a week, and it would end tonight. “I’m going to fuck you so hard, you forget how to breathe, and you wouldn’t remember what day it is.”
She glared back. “I’m not submitting to you. No freaking way. Not in this lifetime.”
“We’ll see.” I stalked toward her with my gaze pinned on her the whole time. Her eyes got wider as I was feet apart.
“Wait.” She raised a hand. Her voice softened a little. “Are you really gonna do that?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? You pissed me off, so yes.” I remained emotionless.
“That’s an excellent idea.” Her eyes lit up. Her chest heaved. And my fucking cock just jerked in my boxers. In just a few seconds, she was naked in bed. “I want you to throw that dang stupid condom. I’m sick of it.”
I stripped naked as well. Her gaze strolled over my body until it dropped on my tattoo down to my fully erect cock. I was hard as steel before she bit her lip in anticipation. Now it jutted upward for her attention.
She moaned at the sensation of my hands on her back. Adley was on four with her head down, ass up, her pussy lips pink and ripe-nothing looked more vulnerable and sexy as fuck than this sight.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
I rubbed my hands up on her shoulders down to her spine to the globes of her ass. I did a light spank.
“What was that for?” She yipped before she gasped.
“For being a pain in my fucking ass.” I spanked her again on the same side of her pretty firm, round ass.
“Ouch. And you curse a lot tonight. You think it’s attractive.”
“Give me a break. I’m still pissed. Does it hurt?” I rubbed the pink skin where I spanked her.
“No. Not really. Do it again.” Okay, she was enjoying it. When I thought she would throw a fit, I was wrong.
“Baby, I’m not doing that again.”
“It feels good after, though.” She turned her head to look at me. Her eyes filled with lust. It really turned her on. Who was I to deny that pleasure?
“It stings but turns you on, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. Do it again.”
I did another slap. “Don’t ever keep something like that from me again, or I will go fucking mad. Do you understand me?”
“Yes.”
I rubbed the skin of her ass before I planted a kiss and licked it. Then I moved my face to the center of her pleasure.
“God!” She cried out in the new sensation as she felt the blunt tip of my tongue on the pretty tight ring of her asshole. Then I ran my tongue from her slick pussy up to her ass.
“Mykel!” She cried out again.
“More?”
