“Oh gods,” I whimpered, rubbing my sex against him in an attempt to alleviate the throb that was making it impossible to think about anything but coming on his cock. “Barrick, please.”
“Please what, baby?” His lips were on my neck now, his teeth scraping over the sensitive skin just under my jaw, something he knew drove me out of my mind with need for him.
“I want you,” I whined.
“I want you too,” he breathed at my ear. “But if I put my cock in you now, I’m not ever letting you go again. I won’t let you walk out that door without me. You’ll come home with me tonight, and you won’t ever fucking leave me again.”
A heavy fist pounding on the door I was pressed against shot vibrations down my spine and straight to my core. Neither of us understood there was another person on the other side until the pounding came again, along with a voice I didn’t recognize.
“Yo, Beast. This pussy out here ain’t going to fuck itself. I got you one of every flavor, just like you told me to, bro.”
My next breath was painful to inhale. I pushed angrily at Barrick’s shoulders, and he was so surprised, he actually stumbled back a step. That was all the room I needed before I was scrubbing the back of one hand over my mouth and unlocking the door with the other.
Jerking the door open, I had two seconds to take in the guy blocking my way. Military-style haircut, hazel eyes, a sly grin on his handsome face, and a body as muscular and fit as Barrick’s was. Just looking at him, I knew he was one of the Underground fighters.
I ducked
under his arm just as Barrick came to his senses and tried to grab for me. Whoever the guy who’d just saved me was, he didn’t let Barrick past to run after me, and for that, I was grateful.
“Mia!” Barrick roared behind me just as I reached for the door that led out to the crowd. “Mia, come back here. He was just fucking around. Mia! Get the hell out of my way, Thorn. Mia, please.”
I ignored him, unsure if I believed him or not. He had confused me, and if whoever that was hadn’t interrupted us when he did, I might have given in and let him have everything he’d been asking for if only to have him fuck me.
Even though my heart had wanted me to give in too.
Chapter 22
Barrick
Thorn lost that smug-ass grin as soon as I put my fist through it. Head snapping back, he laughed, knowing he deserved it.
“I was two seconds away from getting my life back, and you had to pull this shit. If I didn’t want to deal with Judge’s shit, I’d beat the hell out of you right now!” I yelled in his face before shoving him out of my way and running after Mia.
I knew she had been about to give in and take me back. I could feel it in the way her body trembled against mine, how her breath caught when I whispered in her ear that if I put my cock in her, I wasn’t ever letting her go again. Thorn’s little prank ruined it all and sent Mia running all over again.
Everyone was still either heading for the door or standing around in large groups talking about the fight, or rather, lack of one. Ridge was a power hitter, but his jaw was as fragile as they came. I knew it would only take a well-placed uppercut and it would be over. He wasn’t going to be happy when he was finally thinking clearly again.
Pushing through the crowd in search of my girl, I finally saw her as she was dragging her friend away from two groupies. Jordan had a pout on his face, but when I caught sight of Mia’s, it was completely blank.
“I can’t believe she brought another guy here tonight,” Lyla complained, stepping in my way and blocking my path to Mia.
“That’s her friend,” I tossed out, pushing some guy out of my way to get around my cousin.
“Jordan?” she said with a frown, following me.
“That’s what she said,” I answered, quickening my pace.
“Oh, that’s okay, then.”
For her, maybe. I still wasn’t happy that the only other guy Mia’d had sex with was also her best friend. I hated that anyone other than me had touched her, let alone known the nirvana of her body as I had. If I didn’t know she loved me, and only me, I already would have been burying that Jordan guy’s body where no one would ever find it.
By the time I got outside, Mia and her friend were nowhere to be seen. “Mia,” I yelled as I turned in a circle in hopes of finding her. “Mia!”
“Just go to her dorm. That’s probably where she’s headed right now. All week, she’s been hiding out there,” Lyla reminded me.
“My keys are back in the locker room,” I said with a groan.
“So, take Howler’s,” she said with a roll of her eyes, handing over the keys to his Suburban. “We’ll take your Jeep and drop Braxton off on our way home.”
