One Chance (Hogan Brothers 1)

Sweet merciful Heaven.

She was a goddess.

His eyes closed as she continued her torturous tease on him. When he felt a warm puff of air just before his cock head was sucked between her lips, his eyes popped open, and he had to force his body to remain still.

She kept sucking him into the cavern of her warm mouth. Her cherry red lips wrapped around his angry looking cock was killing him. Beautiful torture of the best kind. They were a bright contrast to his tanned skin. Her tongue flicked along the pulsing vein on the bottom of his shaft, and his hands shot to her hair, digging into her scalp as he fought to let her keep the control she had.

“Jesus, darlin’,” he grumbled, trying to relax back into his chair as she worked her magic.

Her hands were free to roam his body as her mouth and tongue worked him into a frenzy at an alarmingly fast rate. He could feel his balls ready to explode if she didn’t let up soon.

“Soph, baby, I’m gonna come soon.” He tried to warn her.

She moaned, taking him to the very back of her throat and swallowing around him.

“Ah fuck!” He gave in to the rush of feelings pulsing through him as she continued working him. His spine tingling was the only warning he had as cum shot from his cock and into her willing mouth.

At the first splash to the back of her throat, her gaze flew to his. He knew what she would see on him. Hooded eyes, a smirk, relaxed yet tense. The lust and pleasure she reflected back at him were a pleasant surprise. She’d enjoyed it just as much as he had.

Slowly pulling away from him, she gave one last lick to the tip before cleaning her lips with her tongue and crawling into his lap. Her breasts still on display. His cock still pulled free of his pants, stained with her red lipstick.

With her head on his chest, happy and content, he knew there was no better time to ask his question, even if it was fast. Grabbing the small box from his desk where he’d put it when she kneeled in front of him, he slid the contents free from its slot.

Looking down at his girl, her eyes closed, he slipped the princess-cut solitaire on her left ring finger. She barely stirred when he spoke. “I love you, Sophia. From now until forever.” She finally looked up to him, her face glowing. “Will you marry me?”

Tears immediately overtook her eyes as she sat up, and her hands flew to her mouth. He knew the exact second she felt it. Her entire body froze, and she slowly pulled her hands from her face, turning them over to see better.

Her eyes were wide and fixed on him when she finally looked down to see what he’d slipped on her hand. “Oh my goodness,” she cried quietly. He waited. “Yes,” she murmured so low he didn’t quite hear her. “Yes, yes, yes!” she screamed, throwing her arms around his neck.

He’d never had any doubt.

In his arms was his whole world.

“I love you so much, Lennox,” she cried in his ear. “Thank you for picking me.”

Love, laughter, and happily ever after.

Three months later.

Sophia sat stunned in the front seat of Lennox’s car as he spoke to her father outside. Rebecca had just been sentenced for her crimes. Not just the threats and assault on Sophia, but she was also charged with the murder of Sophia’s birth mother.

Unbeknownst to her or her father, the police had been investigating that death as well. Rebecca had been feeding the woman rat poison for days before she gave birth. She was being sent to a maximum security psychiatric facility for the rest of her life.

Sophia figured she should feel relief, but she didn’t. She was sad for the older woman. She was sad for her father. She was just at a loss with the whole situation.

It had taken some time, but her life with Nox was finally moving forward. He made it his mission to have her smile and laugh as often as possible. He’d encouraged her to enroll in a few online courses for administration as well. She didn’t want some fancy education when she knew that as soon as they were married and started having babies that she would want to stay home with their children. She wanted to be the soccer mom, go to PTA meetings, carpool on Mondays. She wanted the simple life, and Nox did as well.

When she saw him move away from her father, she smiled at the man who’d raised her, knowing he was finally getting the closure he needed. Nox climbed in the car and told her, “He wants us to come to dinner tonight and bring Ma.” He was frowning as he spoke, and she knew that was never a good thing.

“Why?”

“I figure he’s going to try and convince us to let him pay for the wedding again and use Ma to do it.” Lennox had a hard time saying no to his mother.

She laughed. “You know you’re going to lose, right?” As soon as her father had asked if he could help and Nox had said no, she’d known Anthony would use any means necessary to get what he wanted.

Nox sighed as he answered, “I do now. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.” He grumbled as he drove them to his shop. Elianna was supposed to be back by the time they arrived.

She had to leave a month ago when a close friend of hers had gotten sick. She’d kept in touch with Sophia but not as often as she’d have liked. She was half afraid Elianna wouldn’t come back.
