Chapter 40

Taylor

 

I’d spent so much time in that hospital that I was glad to get to go home. Overall, I was there for four weeks. The doctor was worried about the head injury I had and wanted to keep an eye on it. I’m fine now though and happy as hell to be home. My home. Mayhem’s home. Wherever he is, is home. He is my home.

“Are you sure this is a good idea? She doesn’t like him,” I say as I watch Minnie growl at the new dog. Mayhem brought a puppy home because he said that she needed a friend.

“They’ll be fine. Look, it’s like when we first met. You hated me, too.” He chuckles, his eyes lighting up. That’s very true.

“She’s going to bite him!” I say not wanting the new puppy to get hurt. She really doesn’t like him.

“She won’t. She’s just showin’ him that she’s the boss.”

I laugh and say, “Like I do?” His eyes jerk to mine, a predatory stare in them.

“You think you’re the boss?” His voice has dropped to that sexy one that sets my insides on fire.

“I know I am.” I try to play the hard role, but he always wins. In fact, I like when we do this. Mayhem shoves off the floor where he was watching the dogs play and stalks toward me slowly. My body heats under his gaze.

“You think so? I bet I can show you who the boss is.” He challenges me. My heart picks up and my breathing slows. He’s so damn gorgeous.

“You think you can?” I tease him. He nods his head, sliding his shirt off and tossing it to the side. I watch him intently as he undoes his belt, then his jeans. They fall to the floor as I lick my lips. His hard muscles shift as he walks closer, my heart nearly beating out of my chest.

“Take those clothes off, Tay,” he says in a sexual tone that heats me from the inside out. I shake my head. I like to play this game with him. I like getting him worked up.

“No? Are you tellin’ me no?” He kneels on the bed, grabbing his hard dick in the palm of his hand through his boxers. Mayhem strokes it slowly, his eyes closing. I watch the look of pure ecstasy on his face, and I’m jealous. I want that look to be mine.

I reach over and grab his hand, halting his actions. His eyes snap open and lock with mine, a smirk crossing his face.

“You want it? Take off the clothes, baby.”

A shiver races up my spine as I reach for the hem of my shirt. I pull it over my head while his eyes burn my skin. The heat that radiates off him is overwhelming but welcome. I toss my shirt to the side before pulling my bra off quickly. I take him in as he strips out of the rest of his clothes too.

“You know how much I want you?” he asks. I shake my head playing his game. “Lier. I can see that look in your eyes, Tay. You fuckin’ know what you do to me, to my dick.” He pushes me back onto the mattress before yanking my shorts and panties off in one swift move.

“Take all of me, Tay.” He demands as he slips between my thighs. Mayhem plunges deep inside of me. He hits all the right places. I grab at his back needing him to be as close to me as possible. He rolls his hips, and my body bucks beneath him.

“Harder,” I cry. He chuckles before giving me what I ask for. He lifts my leg over his shoulder and pounds into me until spots form behind my eyes. The harder he thrusts, the higher I become. My pussy clenches and squeezes around him as I listen to him growl.

“You’re gonna make me fuckin’ come already, Tay,” he groans as he plunges in deeper. Yes, that’s what I want. I want him to fill me. I want him to own my body the way only he can.

A few more rough thrusts and I lose all control of my body. I cum hard, my body spasming. Mayhem finds his release, filling me with everything he’d been holding back since I was hurt. His body trembles before he drops down next to me.

“Shit, Tay. You’re gonna give me a heart attack one day,” he says breathlessly. He grabs my head and pulls it to his chest. This is my favorite place to be.

“You know I love being in your arms,” I admit to him. He holds me tighter as I listen to the steady beat of his heart.

“I love you bein’ in my arms, too. You better get used to it. You ain’t goin’ anywhere,” he says playfully.

I prop myself up on his chest and gaze up at him. “How are you going to keep me?” I tease.

“I’m gonna fuck you until you can’t walk. You’ll have no other choice.”

I laugh before he kisses me. Then I melt.

“I mean it, Tay. You’re never goin’ anywhere. I want you to be mine. I love you.”

My heart stammers. He loves me? He’s never said he loved me before.

“I love you too.”

“You’re gonna be my old lady. You’re gonna give me kids,” he says as if he’s making a list.

I laugh before I ask, “Are you demanding this of me?”

“Nope. I’m tellin’ you. There’s a difference, love.”
