“It seems to me that you’re flirting with the French guy.”
“Are you jealous, Mr. Braxton?” I asked as I bit my bottom lip and began unbuckling his belt.
“Jealous of a man with an accent? Never.” He smiled as lifted my shirt over my head.
“You’re not even a little jealous that the sexy French man sent me a text?” I said as I took down his pants.
“You’ll know when I’m jealous, sweetheart,” he said as he leaned in and kissed my neck while he unhooked my bra.
I gasped as his hands cupped my br**sts. “How will I know?” I said with bated breath as I stroked his hard cock.
He moaned. “I’ll do this.” He pushed me up against the wall. “Then I’ll do this.” He ripped my panties right off of me.
I was excited and my heart was pounding in anticipation.
“Then I’ll do this.” He plunged two fingers inside me. “Then I’ll do this.” He grabbed my wrists and pinned them above my head with his other hand. “Then I’ll do this,” he said as he removed his fingers and pushed himself deep inside me, banging my ass against the wall with each thrust.
He brought my leg up around his waist and held onto me tight. I wrapped my other leg around him as he held me up with one hand and the other still had my wrists pinned to the wall. He was so strong. He thrust in and out of me as growls escaped from deep within his chest. Each thrust was harder and longer than the one before. I was out of breath and the last thrust inside me sent my body into pure bliss as he pushed me over the edge and into an amazing orgasm. My body shuddered as did his as he released himself inside me, spilling into me every last drop of pleasure he had in him. He moaned as he finished off and then buried his face into my neck.
“Yes, I’m jealous,” he whispered.
He let go of my wrists and I wrapped my arms around him, holding him tight. He carried me to the bedroom, still buried deep inside me and laid me down on the bed. He hovered over me and stared into my eyes.
“You’re mine and don’t ever forget it,” he said.
“How can I when you f**k me like that?”
He smiled as he leaned down and kissed me on the lips.
Chapter 13
Ian
We boarded the plane and took our seats in first class. I always let Rory have the window seat because she said it calmed her to look at the clouds. I sat there, thinking about what my father said about his plane. There was no need for him to buy a new one because there was nothing wrong with the one he had. It wasn’t like him just to buy things like that.
“You look like you’re in deep thought.” Rory smiled as she took hold of my hand.
“I was just thinking about my father and him buying a new plane. It’s just odd to me.”
“Why? The man can afford it,” she said.
“I know he can, but that’s not the point. The plane he has now is practically brand new. It’s only a few years old. It’s just out of character for him.”
“Well, maybe Richard is having a change of heart about things. He was very nice to me that night he came over, for the first time ever.”
“I’m happy he’s finally warming up to you. He has no choice, really,” I said as I brought her hand to my lips. Did you enjoy New York, sweetheart?”
“I did. Thank you for taking me.” She smiled.
One of the many things I loved about Rory was the fact that she was always thanking me for things. She didn’t expect anything from me except my love, and I knew Andrew was dead wrong about her.
“You’re welcome. There are going to be many more trips in our future. I’m going to show you the world, Rory Sinclair. Just the two of us.” I smiled.
She smiled back and rested her head on my shoulder. I rested my head on hers and closed my eyes, remembering our day yesterday, when it was just her and me spending the day touring New York City. She was so excited about everything; like a big kid. She fell in love with the art museum and, of course, all the shopping we did. We were only interrupted by Adalynn a couple of times when she was face timing Rory and showing her maid of honor dresses that she liked. I made a comment and she told me to shut up. I loved Adalynn and nothing pleased me more than her and Rory becoming best friends. Rory needed someone like Adalynn in her life. I lifted my head and so did Rory. She looked at me and then leaned over and gave me a kiss.
“I love you,” she said.
“I love you.” I smiled.
Those words. Those three words that I never spoke to anyone except to my mother when I was just a child. Those three words that meant nothing to me and had no meaning. My mother had told me she loved me every day, but she left and never came back. As far as I was concerned, she showed me that those words didn’t have any meaning. But, when I almost lost Rory, I found that those three words meant everything to me.

We pulled up to the house and I saw Adalynn’s car in the driveway. I looked at Rory.
“Did you know she was coming over?” I asked.
Rory looked away and then made the cutest face that I’d ever seen. “Well, she texted me and said she wanted to show me some dresses, so I said okay. I’m sorry, Ian. It’s just that—”
“Shh, sweetheart. It’s okay,” I said as I kissed her.
How could I be mad? Rory was so excited to see those dresses and who was I to deny her that? We had a beautiful few days alone and now it was time for her to help Adalynn with the wedding. As soon as we walked into the house, Adalynn came strolling out of the kitchen. She ran right to Rory and hugged her.
“I’m so happy you’re back. I can’t wait to show you the dresses! Oh, hi, Ian.” She smiled.
“Hi, Adalynn. Good to see you, darling.” I smiled as I kissed her cheek.
“Good to see you too.” She smiled before grabbing Rory’s hand and taking her into the living room.
While Rory was looking at dresses, I went into my study to catch up on some work. I pulled my phone from my pocket and noticed I had a missed call from Andrew. I punched in my password and listened to his message.
“Hey, Ian. Hope you had a good time in New York. Give me a call when you get back. I’m not sure if you remember, but that event we committed to about six months ago is coming up next week and you have to be there. Call me.”
Shit, I forgot about the event for K Corp. Damn it. I dialed Andrew’s number.
“Hey, buddy,” he answered.
“Hey, Drew. I completely forgot about the K Corp event.”
