"Yes, I do. It's done. Over," I was direct. Looked her in the eyes and made sure she saw how serious I was.
Her blouse was open, but I didn't look down. I didn't want that from her. Not anymore.
Her hand was on my dick, and she squeezed. "Really?" her voice had dropped to a purr.
"Yes, really," I replied, backing away from her. "Just stop. You're pathetic."
She froze and her previously smiling face returned to a state of fury. "You little spoiled bastard. You will regret this."
"No, I won't," I assured her as I turned and walked away. The end of what I'd been doing with Kelsey was way overdue. When I was almost out the door, she found a way to stop me.
"I'm pregnant. My husband is sterile. I was preparing to tell him about us. I still am. You can't walk away from this, Cruz. You're going to be a daddy."
I glared at her. Even now she was lying. "I've never fucked you without protection. Ever. So it's someone else's baby. Not mine. You tell him it's mine and you'll have to prove it." I wasn't a teenage boy anymore. She couldn't trick me into shit.
Her eyes teared up. "Condoms aren't one hundred percent effective."
"Birth control is," I shot back.
She wiped a single tear as it rolled down her cheek. "I stopped taking them a year ago. I want a baby. I want your baby."
I shook my head. No. She was lying. This was her way to manipulate. It wasn't going to work. "You are a liar," I roared not caring who heard me then stormed out of the office. Away from the club and the dark shit that was now catching up with me. I thought she'd keep quiet for fear of losing her marriage. She had told me once she loved her husband, but he didn't take care of her sexually. She needed more. The dirtiness, the excitement. I had felt sorry for her and didn't understood how a man wouldn't enjoy her insane sexual needs. It had been fun. Now I saw the fun was fucked up.
It was also going to destroy me if she went through with this lie. I had to find a way to stop this. To protect Lila Kate. I never wanted her to see that side of my life. To know the sordid shit I'd done.
Getting to Lila Kate was all I needed right now. To hold her. Smell her. Feel her. The brightness in her world made my damaged past fade away.
The drive to her studio was only a few miles, but it felt like an eternity. The fear she'd know and hate me weighed on me. Her refusal to listen to me and to love me was clawing at my heels. I drove faster and focused on getting to her.
I took long fast strides from my car to her door. When I jerked it open, there Lila was. She'd already changed into paint-stained clothing, threw her hair in a bun and was dancing to music as she cleaned out a paint brush. She was good. Perfect. Pure.
I locked the door behind me and went to her. She glanced up, startled at first and then she smiled.
"Hey," was the only thing she had time to say before I was there in front of her. I backed her up until she was behind the corner blocking us from the windows. The shadows there didn't mask the surprise and excitement on her face.
I didn't take time to kiss and hold her. I couldn't. The wolves that were chasing me, haunting me, had me desperate. I jerked down her shorts and panties then quickly shoved my jeans down until my dick was free. Grabbing her by the waist I picked her up, pressed her between the wall and my body then thrust into her with a groan.
She grabbed my shoulders and cried out my name. That only caused this wild intense pounding in my head to get worse. My mouth devoured hers tasting and taking it all. I was fucking her while loving her.
"This is mine," I told her biting at her neck. "You can't leave me." My words would sound crazy to her, but they came out anyway.
"Okay," she said as her head was thrown back against the wall and her throat exposed to me while I licked and left my mark on it.
"I will always need this. Need you. I'm addicted to you. Fucking addicted."
She moaned and I pounded harder. Wanting to get so damn deep that we were like one person. No one else would ever be this for me. She would be all I needed. Being inside her made the darkness and the lies go away. All that mattered was her. This. Us.
"Oh God," she cried then bit my shoulder. She was trembling in my arms. "AH!" Her orgasm squeezed my cock and I let go with her.
"Fuck! That's it, baby. Come all over my dick."
"Ahhhh! Cruz! I can't," she was clinging to me now. Her arms wrapped around me. Her head in the crook of my neck.
I exploded inside her jerking free a little too late.
"Shit," I groaned as the rest of my release coated the inside of her thigh.
We stood there in the corner sweaty, wrapped together, panting. This was what I'd never done with anyone. I'd always been careful. But my insanity when it came to Lila Kate had taken over and it had been the last thing on my mind.
