A Taboo Collection

“You embarrassed by me?”

“No. I don’t want a fight to start, and Rowdy will kick your ass.”

Malachi smirked. “You don’t think I can take him.”

“You’re both evenly matched.” I walk back to the bed, throwing the blanket over, and climbing on. Grabbing a pillow, I settled down, knowing I wasn’t going to get much sleep, not with Malachi in the same room and Rowdy just a few feet away.

“Please, I could take him.”

“Malachi, I don’t care. Rowdy is my brother. Leave him alone. You’re going to have to stay until morning. He’s leaving early, so you can leave just after him. It would be peaceful.” I closed my eyes, my whole body sated. I’d never been fucked in the ass before, and I never thought I’d enjoy it. The whole ass fucking had been a huge surprise for me. When I felt the bed dip, I opened my eyes to find Malachi laid next to me, staring at me.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m getting comfortable.”

“Isn’t this a little personal for you, like intimate?” Maybe this was an odd question given the fact we’d just had sex.

“Baby, I was just inside of you,” he asked in a husky growl.

“Girls chase you for this, for a little attention. You’re the cocky bastard who thinks you’re God’s gift to women.”

Yeah, I was going there.

“Violet, I just had my dick in your pussy, and then your ass. What does anyone else have to do with right here and now?” He all but pursed his lips. “How about we just worry about repeating those actions?”

“You think that is all that matters to a woman?” I asked.

“I’d say I’m doing a pretty good job of keeping you satisfied, so maybe that matters to you?” He winked, and I swore I felt my heart jump to my throat.

I couldn’t help it, I laughed, but it was me trying to cover up how hot he made me. I was trying to be strong here. “Oh, Malachi, you’re so funny. You’re so cocky and full of yourself you don’t even see that women are using you.”

He knitted his brows. “What?”

So, it seemed the arrogant Malachi had never thought it possible a woman could be the one using him for a piece of ass. It was funny, but more so because I was trying to play it off like that’s what I had been doing, when really that hadn’t been the case.

“From what I’ve seen, you don’t show any other interest but a few hours between the sheets. I bet you don’t even care if you upset anyone, do you?” I asked.

Malachi stayed silent, and I saw that he was thinking about what I said.

I could do this; play the part just like he’d played so many other women in the past. I would not let my emotions get in the middle of this.

“You don’t have to answer that,” I said softly. “Because I don’t want anything else from you but what we just shared.”

God, why did saying that hurt as much as it did?

Malachi

Why did her words sting so much? I didn’t understand it, and that pissed me off. I fucked women, and I forgot them. It was a bastard thing to do, but I never claimed to be some gentleman that would coddle and tell a woman I loved her.

Yet, Violet … she’d gotten under my skin, and I didn’t know how to get rid of those emotions. I didn’t know if I wanted to. How had she even known what she was doing to me? Did she even know?

I watched as she closed her eyes, as if she were done with the conversation. I sure as fuck wasn’t, but I wasn’t about to let her see how much her words bothered me, or what I felt.

Before tonight I’d never done any of the chasing. Women chased me, I fucked them, and that was it.

Now, I didn’t know what to make of it, what to make of what I felt or was starting to feel for Violet.

I didn’t say anything for long seconds, but I had a lot of nervous energy moving through me. “Violet,” I finally said, not able to keep my mouth shut.

She gave me a hum in return, and I could tell she was starting to fall asleep. But when the silence stretched on, she opened her eyes and looked at me.

“I don’t want this to just be about fucking.”

She did a good job of hiding how she felt, but I could see her expression change.

“What?” She had surprise in her voice.

I nodded. “Yeah,” I said and ran my hand over my mouth. “This is all new to me, but I want more with you.”

Another moment of silence passed. “Okay,” she said softly.

So, she’d been playing it off like she didn’t want anything more than my cock in her. I felt pride and pleasure fill me.
