MAVERICKI hoped Terzo was safe somewhere. I knew how dangerous his job was, but so did his entire life. I sipped my coffee until the entire coffee shop went silent. I looked around, and my gaze landed on Wallace, who was coming in our direction.Crap.And he saw me. I had a feeling my day had just gotten better.“May I?” He gestured to the empty chair.“It’s a free country, Mr. Winston.” I gestured back.He looked at Cooper, who seemed surprised. “May I talk to her alone, please?”Cooper fumbled to stand up and smiled tightly at me. “See you later, Mave.”I nodded and smiled tightly. “Bye.”Wallace took a seat across the table. I didn’t mind telling him to order his coffee. I was sure he didn’t drink in a coffee shop like this, and he was probably scared of getting poison.“May I ask why are you here?”He looked at me in the eye. “I’m sure you know it by now.”“Lake.” Of course. Who else?“Yes. I want you to convince him to come back to Winston Holdings. The seat is waiting for him, a
LAKE“Baby, are you okay? I heard what happened.”Owen informed me that my father just ambushed Maverick in the coffee shop.“I’m fine.” Of course, she would say that, but I could hear it in her voice that she wasn’t. I knew my father could be intimidating, but he had a way of getting what he wanted.“Where are you? I’m coming to you.”“Ask Homer then. I’m sure he will give you my location.” She must roll her eyes. Maverick was odd today, and I didn’t know why.“You’re upset. You’ve been acting weird since the morning we woke up. What’s going on with you, baby?”“Just tired, I guess.”“Then stay where you are. I’m coming to get you so we can have dinner together.”“Fine.”“And we’ll talk about what’s upsetting you.”“Just tell Homer where we should meet. See you there.”“All right, baby. See you soon.”I hang up the call. “OB, drive us to the restaurant and tell Homer to take Maverick there.”“All right, boss.”I’d been receiving an invitation from Aurelia to meet, but I declined, del
MAVERICKI writhed beneath him as he suckled hard on my clit. He alternately licked, sucked, and kissed my pussy.My soul seemed to push out of my body when I felt his talented tongue inside me, sliding in and out, then rewarding me with a groan as if I were his favorite meal. The vibration sent right to my clit, throbbing it further.I began panting, groaning, frantic with lust and need to come as my entire body tightened. My hands slid into his hair, pushing his face into my pussy, wanting for more, and he gave it all to me, sliding a finger into my entrance, thrusting in and out, and my hips started to rock into him.Then he added another finger and sunk them deeper, hitting the right spot.“Fuck, babe! Fuck!” My voice was hoarse and desperate. My entire body shook as my orgasm tore through me in a climactic explosion, convulsing into his fingers and mouth.Then his mouth and fingers were gone. The bed shifted. I opened my eyes and found Lake walking naked into the bathroom, holdin
MAVERICK“How many times have I told you that you matter to me? I’ve done everything to show and open up my feelings to you. If I could move mountains, give you the stars, that kind of shit, I already did. You’re one of the most important people in my life, Maverick.” He swallowed hard. “And I feel like you’re slipping off my hand, you’re slipping away like I’ve done horrible things to you, like I’ve cheated on you.” I wanted— I really wanted to believe what he said, but something was holding me back.“Do you want to get divorced after the contract ends?”“Where the fuck did that come from?” He sounded desperate and sincere, and I desperately needed his honest answer.“Tell me the truth.”“Since when did I lie to you? Except for the part that I was protecting you. It was not lying, by the way.”“You’re not answering my question.”He scoffed. “Then you must have felt what I’ve been feeling for the past three days. It fucking sucks, isn’t it?”I turned away from him. I couldn’t argue an
LAKE“Get back in here!” I yelled at her, still furious at her actions and myself.Did she expect she could get away with it?She stopped. Her back stiffened at my voice. She came back, not meeting my gaze anymore.I slammed my laptop shut and swiped everything on my desk to the side. Maverick hadn’t said a word, but I could feel the tension in her body. It seemed to have terrified her, or she knew what would happen next. Good.“Bend over the desk.”“Excuse me?” Her head snapped at me. Her eyes filled with defiance.“Did I stutter?”“No.”“No, you’re defying your husband, or no, I did not stutter.”“Both.” I loved that she stood her ground and admired that she never bent for any man, including her husband. I expected that from her, and I also expected two outcomes tonight— she would hate me after this and leave me, or she would learn an important lesson.“I’m losing my patience, Maverick. Don’t make me repeat myself. Bend over my desk. Take off your panties and lift your robe because
LAKE“Do you want my dick or my tongue inside you?” The pulsing of my dick grew stronger. I had to clench my jaw hard, not to shudder.She shivered. “Just do what you want and get over with it.”“This is not about what I want. How about what you want?”“I hate you right now.” Her words tagged a string in my heart.I ignored the twinge in my chest. Instead, I asked her, “So you just want my dick and my body?”“Fuck you.”“Why did you bend over, Maverick?” I whispered to her, trying to calm down, but I was failing it. Miserably.“Because you told me to, asshole.”“I’m so tempted to fuck you right now. You’re the most exquisite woman I’ve ever been with. You’re the only beautiful thing I ever see and have right now, and I don’t want to change that.”“Then what are you waiting for? Isn’t it the reason why you punish me?”“This is not a punishment.”“Then what do you call this? Testing your strength to temptation or testing me, or how long could I last in this position?”“Oh, it’s been tes
MAVERICKI felt so stupid, embarrassing myself in the end. If I learned one thing tonight, it was to never assume without knowing the truth. I admired Lake even more. He was a good man with a big heart and had the longest patience. Despite my judgment, he took it on a positive note.“Fuck.” He made a needy primitive sound that rose from deep within his chest, veins popping on his forehead and corded neck while his grip tightened on my hair as he pushed my head into his swelling cock to the back of my throat.I was on my knees before him. I loved to please him as he pleased me. Seeing the look in his heavy-lidded eyes, his jaw tightening, and throwing his head back turned me on more than ever.I gagged, struggling to breathe through my nose. Yet I was so aroused that I felt my wetness dripping between my thighs and my clit throbbing, begging to be fondled. My breasts were heavy, and my nipples hardened, demanding to be sucked.With my hand on his ass, the other on my breast, kneading i
LAKE“I don’t want to sell my share. I think I deserve that seat on the board.”Mom nodded, sipping her tea without a word.“You were expecting this decision, weren’t you?”“Kind of, and you’re my son.” She put her tea down and glanced at me. “And you were nowhere near giving me a grandchild.”I practically rolled my eyes and shook my head in both amusement and annoyance. “Mom, just drop this topic.”Her gaze shifted to Maverick, who had been trying to learn to ride a horse for two hours. They managed to practice from the stable. She may have worn protective gear but was too stiff and scared to fall. “She’s living her life. I get that.”“And she’s still young to be a mother, hasn’t experienced what life is. I want her to enjoy it before we plan on expanding our family.”Mom smiled from her eyes as she gripped my knee. “You love her so much.”I chuckled. “I haven’t told her the exact words. Every time I wanted to tell her, I chickened out. I guess I expect her to say the same, and I’m
