A Twisted Arrangement (Twisted Vows, #2)

by Jessa Wilder

If I’d gone with him, I wouldn’t have been able to control my heart. I deserve better than some guy who only cares about me when he wants to. I want to be someone’s everything.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this way.” “The things I do for you.” I smile back.

“You know, you’ve become awfully nosy for someone who didn’t care about what I did up until a few days ago. Maybe you should talk to someone about that.”

“I’ll see you later.”

“Matthias, what’s that look on your face? I’m not kidding. I have lunch plans.” “Don’t worry, I heard you loud and clear.” As it is, she’ll already be pissed.

“We heard you’re sleeping in the car.”

“Screw off.” “Hey, now. Don’t be like that. We’re just concerned for our big brother.”

Her voice trickles to me as I make my way deeper into the space, heading toward the sound of plates clinging together. “Do you know who he is? Do you want to get us both fired?”

“I’m exactly where I want to be.” “You said you wouldn’t come.” “No. I said I heard you when you told me not to. They are two different things.”

“You’re cute when you’re mad.” A low growl-like sound forms in her throat. “You’re dead.”

“Did you forget I own this company?” “No, Mercer Equities bought it.”

“And I own Mercer Equities.” “Correction: you used to own it. I bought the controlling shares a few days ago. Technically, I think that means you work for me.”

“Oh, you’re sneaky.” “Now, get out.” Her tone isn’t as firm as it was, like she’s not quite done having fun with me.

“Come home with me tonight.” “That’s never going to happen.”

“Don’t say things you don’t mean.” Her eyes go wide, and she jumps back. “You’re crazy.”

“Never denied it.”

She’s so fucking stubborn. I groan, making my way downstairs. Another night sleeping in my car. A slow smile takes over my face. It’s the last time because tomorrow, my Little Sparrow turns twenty-five.

As if pulled by a magnet, I turn toward Matthias. He’s standing a few feet from the bottom of the steps, dark eyes on me. A flush crawls up my neck, and my breath catches as his gaze burrows into me, branding me everywhere it touches.

“That doesn’t mean you should be dancing with him.” “Why?” I ask, searching his face. Why won’t he look at me? He runs his tongue over his teeth and entwines our fingers. “It doesn’t matter.”

“Matthias,” I hiss. “Matthias, everyone is watching.” “Let them.”

“Are you purposely making me jealous?” “Are you actually crazy?”

He runs his nose up my neck, inhaling directly behind my ear. “You smell delicious.” Strong fingers curl around my throat, squeezing gently as he flattens his tongue and runs it along my skin. I instinctively tilt my head to give him more access.

“Matthias,” I gasp. “That’s it. Say my name.” His fingers curl, pushing against me, and my knees grow weak. He catches me, arms banding around my waist, before spinning me to face him.

Hunger is written in them as he grips my ass and pulls me into him until his hard cock presses into my stomach.

“Feel how much you turn me on.” He slides his hand further between my thighs. “Are you wet for me?”

He takes his time dragging my dress higher until it’s above my waist. Squeezing my bare ass, he drops his forehead to mine, a low rumble in his throat. “You’re not wearing panties.” He pinches my ass before dipping between my folds from behind, his thick fing...

but I want more. I need more of him.

He chuckles against my neck and presses his thigh between mine, applying pressure to my clit. “That’s it. Take what you want.”

“Where do you think you’re going?” He grips my wrist, tugging me back. I need to rely on the last strands of sense I have left. “Back to the party.” “We’re not done,” he commands.

“We shouldn’t have started to begin with.” “Oh, it’s way too late for that, Little Sparrow,”

“Let me go, Matthias!”

“For once in your life, stop being so stubborn.” “I am not stubborn. You are out of your mind. Now, let go of me.” Matthias shifts me down to my feet, and I relax. “Was that so hard?”

in the car, Scarlet.” “Not going to happen, Matthias.” I sneer out his name like I did when we were kids. “You can get in on your own, or I can make you.” “Oh yeah?”

“You’re gorgeous.”

“You’re not going anywhere.” He bites my ear and digs his cock into my ass.

want to bury my cock into you right here.” A shiver rolls through me, goose bumps erupting along my neck. “I can’t⁠—” He nips my ear. “I’m controlling myself, but if you keep wiggling underneath me like that, I’m bound to snap.”

breath is hot on my neck as he runs his tongue along the curve. Lust fills every molecule in my being as he dominates me, cock rocking against my ass, hand tightening nearly painfully around my wrist.

hate the barrier between us, and I whine deep in my throat as I move against him, searching for more. “Matthias,” I hiss through my teeth. “Fuck it.” The sound of his zipper lowering fills the narrow space, and my body trembles beneath him. Never in a million

“Look at me, Scarlet.” I meet Matthias’s dark eyes. He’s panting just as hard as I am, face flushed red. “Wrap your arms around my neck.”

He grabs me by my ass and envelops my legs around his waist, kissing me hard as he hauls me out of the car. I cling to him as he devours my mouth, taking any rational thought with him. I vaguely process the fact that we’re moving into his house, the doors opening without us stopping. He takes the stairs two at a time, one hand banded under my ass and the other holding me tight so with each step, his hard cock pushes directly into my clit. “Don’t....” I moan. “I’m going to come.”

“That’s it, Scarlet,” he says as he lowers me, discards my shoes, and slips my dress above my head, leaving me naked in front of him, then guides me back to sit on the bed.

Matthias wraps his lips around the peak of my breast, sucking my nipple between his teeth. My core pulses with need, and I don’t bother to fight my moans. Not with how his tongue expertly laps over my sensitive skin.

Matthias pinches my nipple hard, and I let out a mix of a squeal and a moan. When he has my full attention, his dark eyes stay on mine as he licks the sore tip to ease the pain. Shit, that was hot. “If you want something, ask.” He

“Open for me, Little Sparrow.”

His big, powerful body is between my thighs, looking up at me with lust-filled eyes. The power that always surrounds him is flowing through me. His words replay in my head. If you want something, ask. “Touch me.” His hands slide up my bare thighs, pushing my legs wider until his shoulders rest between them. He waits until I vibrate with need before running his thumb along my slit.

Matthias dropping his face between my knees and dragging his tongue over my clit.

He sits back, a sly grin barely pulling at the corner of his lips, and his inky black gaze pierces mine. “You taste delicious.” Right now, he’s the wolf, and I’m the lamb. I moan out his name, digging my fingers into his hair, forcing him back to me.

movements turn feral as he devours me, pulling needy sounds from my throat. I’ve never come this many times, but I can already feel my next orgasm building. His tongue thrusts inside me as he buries his face between my legs and works me like I know his cock will.

He replaces his tongue with two fingers, slowly drawing them in and out of me before adding a third. It’s tight, and he can barely fit them, but the pressure is intoxicating. My orgasm burst through me, sucking the breath from my lungs when his teeth graze my clit. I scream his name, chanting it until it makes little sense.

always knew you’d be the ruin of me.” I huff out a breath. “If one of us is going to be ruined, it’s me.”
