He walks right up to me and without a word, strips the clothes from my body, lifts me up so my ass rest against the vanity, and rams into me. His movements are frantic and his pace rushed. He licks and bites along my neck and his fingers dig into my hips as he pounds into me. It doesn’t take long for us both to tip over the edge. His lips slam down against mine, eating my screams while I swallow his grunts.
He releases my lips, and with his dick still deep inside me, locks eyes with mine. “Do not shower. I want to know that I’m still inside you when you walk down those stairs and sit down at the table. When those assholes are sitting in the same room with you after just seeing what is mine, I want to know that I’m still all over this sweet pussy.”
Well. Ohhhkay, then. I nod, and when he pulls from my body, we both get dressed in silence before walking downstairs hand in hand.

Chelcie looks different this morning. I can still see the lingering fear in her eyes, but now, she also looks… nervous? We’ve been sitting around the table for about thirty minutes, just making small talk while we eat some breakfast that the boys brought over. The whole time, Chelcie keep looking over at Coop before quickly shifting her eyes away. She hasn’t even eaten much, just keeps pushing it around her plate and worrying her lips.
What in the hell?
I know they hooked up while I was in the hospital last month, but Chelcie has told me that it was just one time, and she knows better than to get tangled up with Coop and his playboy ways. I know there aren’t any feelings for him on her end, and knowing Coop as well as I do, I know there aren’t any on his end, either. He’s completely oblivious to the awkwardness. Just stuffs his face with more and more food.
Beck squeezes my leg, and I look over at him. He tips his head towards Chelcie and just shakes his head once. I know he would tell me if he knew anything, so I nod and continue to eat.
We finish up breakfast and I busy myself with cleaning up the mess. I’ll do anything to buy me some time before we sit down and talk about everything swirling around us.
“You need some help, Dee?” Maddox asks.
I blush remembering him catching my ass in the air earlier.
“Nope, I got it all under control.” I’m loading the last dish into the dishwasher. I can hear Beck and Coop talking at the table and glance over to see Chelcie still sitting there silently.
“Don’t worry. Just because I got an eye full this morning doesn’t mean I’m going to carry you off and enjoy the view up close and personal.”
My shocked gaze snaps to his, and when I see his dark eyes dancing with humor, I want to kick his ass.
“Not funny, Asshole!” I smack him with the dishtowel before walking back over to the table and sitting down.
“What was that all about?” Beck asks, looking at Maddox with a glare.
“Nothing, just Mad being a douche.”
His eyes narrow as he looks over at Maddox, who just holds his hands up in surrender.
“All right, so… can we get this over with?” I break the silence, praying that Beck will drop it. Maddox might be the most closed off man I’ve ever met, but I know he didn’t mean anything by his comments. He has apparently grown a sense of humor overnight, and even though it’s at my expense, it’s nice to see him not so closed off.
“Stop thinking about her ass.” Beck growls, taking my hopes that we can just forget about this away in a flash.
“Seriously, just forget it!” I snap.
Beck breaks his heated staring contest with Maddox to look over at me.
“He saw you naked, Dee! You want me to just forget about it?” His tone is low and lethal. I know he’s seconds away from going all alpha-man crazy.
“Oh, really… you know, I’m aware that he saw me naked, but it was also an accident. When you were running through the house with your dick flopping all over the place for everyone to see, you didn’t see me going all crazy. Oh no, I was laughing, because, hello! It’s funny!”
His nostrils flare and his eyes are still narrowed, but he doesn’t say anything.
AH! I swear that these overgrown apes are going to be the death of me.
“Stop your shit, John Beckett. So what? Coop got a quick look at my girls and Maddox saw my naked ass. THEY aren’t the ones that get the benefits of possessing this body. It’s all yours! I didn’t flip out when everyone in this house saw you, and I would appreciate it if you could tone that testosterone down a little. So, would you please stop?”
“Those two bastards didn’t enjoy looking at my junk, but I know they enjoyed the hell out of yours!”
For the love of God! It takes me a second to tone down my frustration, and if I’m honest with myself, it’s hot as hell to watch him get all jealous and possessive.
“Are you forgetting about the very feminine set of eyes that got to take in all that is little Beck?”
Coop chokes on his drink when I finish talking. Maddox booms out a laugh that shocks me enough to look his way. If I weren’t so frustrated with Beck right now, I might drool over how handsome he looks. How has no one noticed, besides Em, just how good-looking he is? Even Chelcie seems to be zoned in on all that is Maddox Locke smiling and laughing.
“Dee!” His growl has me snapping my eyes back to his.
“What?”
