Okay, so in five minutes it will be the time we agreed to meet, but come on, if you’re not early you’re late. And if you’re late, someone might get mad. And if someone gets mad there might be confrontation. And if there’s confrontation there will be tears. And ohmygod I’m not gonna make it through the night!

Plus, my bestie, Elouise, knows where I am. And I sent her a screenshot of Brian’s profile picture so if I go missing, she has something to show the police.

“Baby Doll, I need you to answer me. Are you Maddie?” Baby Doll? What the fuck is this girl doing to me? I never use pet names. Her lips part, and I feel myself holding my breath. “Yes, sir.”

The big man sighs. “He was supposed to be taking this summer college course to make up for one he failed last semester but turns out he’s been fucking off all day instead. Wasting his time and my money and pissing me the fuck off.”

If we weren’t in public, and magic was real, I’d morph my clothes into a schoolgirl outfit and climb into his lap. I’ve been skipping classes, too.

The server starts to walk away, and as Axel turns his head back to face me, I catch the wide-eyed look that the waitress throws my way – a look that says holy shit that man is hot. I raise my brows in a oh my god I know look before she turns away and heads to the bar.

“It’s sweet.” He places the drink back in front of me. “I didn’t think it’d be my thing, but…” “But?” I prompt when he doesn’t finish. “But now that I’ve tasted it, I think I might need more.” Oh, pretty, pretty please be talking about me.

My pulse kicks up and I wonder if I’m finally having that heart attack my son keeps claiming I’ll suffer if I don’t chill out.

I wait for the angel on my shoulder to tell me to keep my pants on and to walk out the front door. But the devil on my other shoulder has the angel tied up and gagged.

Oh Maddie, you shouldn’t have worn my sweatshirt. There are consequences for your actions, Baby Doll. And you’re about to find out what happens to naughty girls who misbehave.

“Don’t ar-” he halts mid-word, his hands sliding up my body until he’s framing my face. “You can always argue with me. I won’t get mad. But right now, about this, I’m not changing my mind. I’m not letting you out of my sight.”

“Tell me you’ll be a good girl.” “I’ll be a good girl for Daddy. I promise.” “Fuck.” This is so depraved. So fucked up. So goddamn hot. The angel on my shoulder has long abandoned me, and the devil. Well, he has his dick in his hand and is beating one out to the scene in front of us.
