A Twisted Arrangement (Twisted Vows, #2)

by Jessa Wilder

“Now who’s the sweet talker.”

A slow, lascivious smile curls his lips, and he leans over me, kissing down my neck and over my collarbone. At some point last night, he changed me into one of his giant shirts, and he’s making quick work of lifting it above my waist. He licks up my throat and gently bites my chin. “Let me lick it better.”

I moan in the back of my throat when he sucks on my nipple through my shirt. It’s still tender from his touches last night, and I wiggle away from him. He catches my hips and places gentle kisses over my tip.

“I really lost control last night. Are you sure you’re okay?” His hands rest on my bare thighs, thumbs stroking back and forth less than an inch away from where my body’s begging for them. “Keep going.”

“Then answer it.” “Are you crazy?” Before I can do anything, he’s already answered the call and pressed the phone to my ear. “Hello,” I rasp out.

I’m sure I’d feel bad if sparks weren’t traveling down my stomach and forming a knot against my clit.

Matthias’s teeth scrape my clit as he sucks it hard. “Yes,” I gasp, barely breathing as my orgasm crashes over me again and again.

He clicks the phone off before I can say anything else and places a light kiss against my mouth. He tastes like me. He hums against my lips. “All better?” “Asshole,” I say, but there’s no disdain in my tone. I’m loving this as much as he is.

“Either let me come with you, or don’t go at all.” I roll my eyes. “Just don’t get in the way.” “I’d never dream of it.” “And don’t scare my clients,” I warn. He laughs. “No promises.” “I’m not kidding. If you’re coming to my office, you have to be good.” “Don’t worry. I can be good. Plus, I have more important things on my mind than terrorizing your workplace.”

“I’m hoping you have twins that look just like you.” Heat flushes my cheeks. “Please be serious.” “Look at me, Scarlet,”

“I’m dead fucking serious about this. We’ve wasted entirely too much time,

and I’ve been waiting too long.” He runs his hand over my still-flat stomach, his g...

“I’m craving Italian for dinner. Bring some home for me.” He relaxes in my arms and runs his thumb along my cheekbone. “Anything for you.”

Matthias deserves that. Another chance at happiness, and…so do I.

“According to the information you sent us, this car has been following Scarlet.” “You’re only telling me this now?!”

“Who the fuck are they? I thought we took care of this?” “It’s a new car every time. We haven’t been able to track any of them. Whoever’s after her knows what they’re doing.” Xander hands me another drink, and a rock forms in my stomach.

“We will figure this out before anything happens. Until then, don’t let her out of your sight.”

will kill them, Matthias. No one’s ever touching our family again.” Bash’s usual playful tone turns cold. “No one’s getting anywhere near our sister. We owe her a lot.” He gives me a playful wink. “And as soon as you stop hoarding her away like a damn dragon, we can all get together.”

“What’s that serious face about?” Scarlet’s sleepy voice drifts up to me, pulling my attention. Her clear blue eyes are hooded, lashes fanning over her cheeks in slow blinks. My girl’s barely awake. I kiss her forehead. “You’re not supposed to be working this hard.” I wrap one hand around her back and the other beneath her legs, lifting her with me.

“It’s your fault.” “You can’t blame me for everything. It’s not my fault you were too stubborn to move in with me of your own free will. “ She slides one eye open, glaring at me before closing it again. “Matthias, I’m tired.”

“I know, Little Sparrow.” I pull her closer, making my way to our room. “I have you.”

“Your husband was there to keep me in place during the entire ceremony, so I couldn’t leave.” A twisted smile forms on her lips that doesn’t meet her eyes. “I’ll kill him for you.”

“That feels extreme. Can’t you hold out on a night of sex or something?” I’m kidding, but she blushes anyway. “I really don’t think I can do that.”

“Pretend I didn’t mention it.” “Deal.”

“He looks at you like you’re his world,” she says quietly. “Well, he’s kind of obsessed with me now.”

“Miss me, wife?”

“I’m taking you home, Nymph.” Damon’s command is low, and Misty visibly shivers. She tilts her head, her eyes gleaming. “What if I’m not ready to go?”

lips caress my neck, and Matthias’s raspy voice fills my ear. “They’re like this all the time.”

“I wasn’t asking, wife.” Damon lifts a giggling Misty up and over his shoulder, landing a sharp smack to her ass that has her sucking in a breath.

“Do you think we look like that?” I ask. “I hope so.” Matthias places a gentle kiss on my head. He sits beside me, pulling me over his lap so I’m resting against his chest, and nuzzles his nose into the crook of my neck. Goosebumps erupt everywhere

“The only thing good about it was coming back home to you.” He kisses my forehead, and his hand runs up my arm. I hum in the back of my throat as his words wash over me. “You really do know how to sweet-talk a girl.”

“It’s not sweet-talking if it’s true.” My lips brush his as I say, “Kiss me.”

his tongue rolling against mine as he grips my nape and manipulates me to deepen the kiss even more. His cock hardens beneath me, and he growls low in his throat when I rock against him.

“Hold on. I want to ask you something.” Matthias runs his nose along mine. “Anything.”

“Open up, big brother!” Bash yells and bangs again. “You can’t keep her from us forever.” Matthias mouths, “I told you so,” then swings the door open.

Bash tries to sneak in, but my husband steps in his way. “Whatever you’re planning, knock it off.” “Hey, that’s not fair. I wasn’t planning anything.”

“He’s lying. He has a whole-ass plan to sneak Scarlet out of here...

“It was a joke! I was just playing around.” He winks at me. “Plus, if she wanted to leave, she’s more than capable of doing that herself.”

“Move out of the way.” Misty’s familiar voice comes from somewhere behind them. She’s too small to make out from behind the Everette men.

“Aww, you’re sweet, but I definitely came here for your wife.”

“You keep pushing it and you’ll wish I poisoned you.” Damon comes in and pushes Matthias back. “Easy there. No need to threaten your family.” Xander snorts, then coughs. “You’re one to talk.”

“I’m already regretting this.” I slip from under him, peering up. “Don’t say that. I want them to like me.”

“They already do like you.” He rakes his hand through his hair, messi...

“Are you really jealous of your brothers?” “I’m jealous of anyone who...

Heat floods my stomach and swirls in my core. The possessiveness in the way he looks at me makes me want to cancel everything and just let him follow thr...

“Ugh…I’m going to lose my app...

“I fell in love with her right then.” Matthias growls, the room turning cold. “Get the fuck away from my wife.”

“Not a chance. Why bother settling down when you can have fun forever.” He points at Damon and Matthias. “These guys are old.” “Fuck off,”

Matthias covers it with his hand. “What are you doing?” I whisper, not wanting to advertise his craziness to everyone. He kisses my temple. “Just in case. We don’t know for sure you aren’t carrying my baby.”

“You belong here, Scarlet. They’ll love you just as much as I do if you’ll let them.” His words replay over and over. If I’ll let them.
