Kindle Notes & Highlights
“So you’re keeping her,” Ash surmised, no question or judgment in his tone. “Yeah, I’m keeping her.”
“I could go a lot faster if you’d put her down so she can buckle up.” “No,” was all Maximo said, and the goon didn’t argue.
He met my eyes and winked before looking ahead. For a monster, that was hot.
“Christ, I’m offering paradise and she wants hell.”
I should’ve put her down because I was a thirty-two-year-old man who had no business holding a seventeen-year-old in his lap.
Yes, my uterus is rioting and tearing apart the baby nursery it spent a month making.
“No one hurts you. If they do, I’ll make sure they spend the limited time they have left on earth regretting it. It will not be a headache. I’ll enjoy making it clear what happens to anyone stupid enough to touch you.”
“Then I’ll start a fucking war ‘cause you’re sure as fuck worth it. You need someone to take care of you.”
My plans to ease her in shot right out the damn window. Seeing the residual pain, betrayal, and sadness that shadowed her eyes, I muttered, “Fuck, you need a Daddy bad.”
“I didn’t say a dad. I said a Daddy.”
“This is mine now,” I growled, watching my hands work her. “You don’t come unless I say so. You don’t play with yourself without me. If you want to come, I’ll give you what you need. Do you understand, Juliet?” When she nodded, I said, “I need to hear it.”
“Make sure you know what you’re saying, little dove. I’ll control you. Completely. Every damn aspect of your entire life. You’ll follow my rules. When you break them, I’ll punish you until you hate me and then fuck you until you don’t.”
“I’ll take care of you until you’re just as wrapped up and addicted to me as I am to you.”
Automatic and honest, I whispered, “I already am, Daddy.”
“Once I have you naked, I won’t have the patience to strip. So unless you want me to fuck you while I’m fully clothed, I suggest you undress me. Now, Juliet.”
“If I was any readier, I’d flood Vegas.” “Christ. Jesus fucking Christ, you really are killing me.”
“But that would involve pulling out of heaven, so it’ll have to wait.”
“I take care of you, dove. You know the rules. Spread your legs for Daddy.”
“Fuck typical. Fuck normal. Fuck what anyone else says. The only person who can tell you what to do is me. And I said pants and panties down.”
“You said communication was important, Daddy. So I’m communicating my desire to ride your face.”
“That it’s just sex.” “If all I wanted was this perfect pussy, I wouldn’t hate our time apart. I wouldn’t rearrange my schedule to work from home or bring you to the office with me. You’re smart and clever and creative and stubborn and determined and loyal and countless other things I’m obsessed with.” His hand connected twice, warming my ass as his words warmed my insides. “What else?”
His hand rained down a series of rapid-fire slaps, heat and tingles spreading across my skin. And I sobbed. Everything I’d kept buried deep inside came pouring out with my tears. All the fears and insecurities. The guilt. The self-loathing.
With his punishment, Maximo cleared away the mess that’d taken root in my head. My thoughts untangled and disintegrated as my mind went blissfully blank.
“Jesus, Daddy fucked up.”
“Don’t ever think,” he continued, “even for one damn second, that I don’t want you. I’ve always wanted you, even when I shouldn’t have. All of you. Everything. Every piece of you.”
I could never have better than you because there is no better.”
“No one takes you from me, little dove,” Maximo growled. “No one opens your cage.”
“And it’ll never be over. I’ll never let you go because I love you, Juliet. ‘Til the day I die.”
I didn’t need a charming prince at my side. I needed a villain at my back. I needed someone who would love me with obsessive reassurance. Someone who wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty because I knew firsthand that the world was far from a fairy tale.
“Right now, we’re going to shower and then I’m going to fucking love watching you ride Daddy’s cock.”
