Alaric’s POV:
I expected a lot of things when Meadow stepped out of the building.
I expected her to be feisty, snappy, pissed at me or even completely ignore me.
But what I didn’t expect was the relief in her expression, and then the tears that choked her as I caught her in my arms. Her sister had said something to her, which I wasn’t surprised about. Nothing good would come from Meadow going to see her sister.
My chest tightened, and I wrapped my arms tightly around her waist, pressing a kiss to the top of her head as she sobbed quietly.
“Hey..” I whispered. “I’m here ”
Meadow shivered from the cold. Her dress was wet. My jaw clenched. I wanted to go in there and demand
an apology from Juniper, but I couldn’t. Not when Meadow needed me.
I pulled away slightly, swiftly taking my suit jacket off, and then I dropped it carefully around her shoulders. Meadow sighed, tugging the jacket around her closer.
“How long have you been here?” she asked, looking away from me as she wiped her tears with the back of
her hand.
I wanted to kiss those damn tears away.
I decided not to lie. “A while.”
“And you didn’t come in to get me,” she scoffed, shaking her head. I may have been imagining it, but she sounded a tad disappointed.
I tilted my head slightly. “Would you have liked me to come in and get you?”
She hesitated, running a hand through her long hair. “No,” she replied, a slight edge to her voice. “And you shouldn’t have come at all either. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to order an uber.”
I froze. I couldn’t have heard that right.
But I did. She started tapping away on her phone, trying to step away from me. Meadow was still annoyed with me, but there was no way I was going to let her order an uber when I came here for her.
“I mind, Meadow. Very much. Put the phone away. I’m taking you home.”
She shrugged, eyes completely focused on her phone. “Well, I don’t really feel like being in the same space with you right now.”

She was being stubborn, feisty–just what I was expecting when I got here.
My jaw ticked. “You cried on my damn shoulder and you expect me to just drive off and leave you to wait for a stranger to pick you up?”
She dragged her eyes to meet mine. “Better a stranger than someone who wants to use me as a rebound.”
Her words riddled my chest with guilt. Any normal guy would walk away and give Meadow the space she needed But I never claimed to be a normal guy.
Exhaling sharply, I reached for the phone in her hand and tossed it into the car through the rolled down
windows.
Meadow’s eyes widened, and red creeped up her neck as she charge for me, pushing against my chest.” What the hell is wrong with you, Alaric?”
Meadow was frustrated. Angry. Whatever conversation she had just had with her sister obviously hadn’t gone the way she thought it would. And if she needed an outlet for that anger, I would give it to her.
Not like I could feel her through my shirt anyway.
די
I came here alone, and I’m leaving alone” she yelled. “And I don’t want you with me.”
My gaze hardened and I reached for her wrists which were still pushing against my chest. “And I just said I’m not leaving you here alone. Now, if you’d like your phone back, get in the car, Meadow. Or else, I’ll drive away with it. And without you
I didn’t mean that, of course. And Meadow had to know I didn’t mean it either, but her eyes flashed, and before I knew what was happening, she reared her hand back and slapped me right across the face.
For the very first time.
My head snapped to the side from the impact of her palm. It stung, but only for a second.
And when I turned to look at Meadow, her hands were clasped over her mouth, her eyes wide with shock.
“Oh God,” she muttered, stepping back. “Oh my God. I’m so sorry, Alaric.”
My lips twitched. I wasn’t upset with her. Not over this. But the fact that she’d slapped me after I said I was going to leave without her only meant one thing.
“Well.” My voice was low and calm. “Obviously, you don’t want me to leave without you, Meadow.” I
paused, my brows furrowing as I asked. “Did you get it out?”
“Get what out?”
“All that anger you’re feeling.”
Her cheeks reddened as she looked away, hesitating before she responded. “Maybe a little.”

I scraped my
teeth along my bottom lip, nodding once. “Then there’s nothing to apologize for. If anything.
I should be the one apologizing to you for everything.”
She rubbed her forehead with her shaky fingers. “Alaric…”
“I spoke with my mother,” I cut in, and she froze. “And she told me what she did to you
Meadow swallowed nervously as I stepped toward her, her grip tightening around the jacket. “You should’ve told me the second it happened.”
“Oh yeah?” she breathed. “And what would you have done, then? She’s your mother.”
“And you’re my wife,” I said firmly. Her eyes snapped up to mine. “Whatever circumstances we got married under, you’re still my wife. And the second you mentioned she hit you, I would’ve taken you out of there, and then have the same fruitful conversation I had with her this morning.”
Those hazel orbs widened ever so slightly, wet with unshed tears.
“Come here,” I murmured. Meadow hesitated for just a second before she stepped closer to me.
I reached for her jaw, tilting her head up so she was looking directly into my eyes and nowhere else. I was never going to stand for anyone hurting her, not even if that person was my own mother.
“She’s not going to touch you or disrespect you again. I swear it. Not unless she never wants to see me
again
And if there’s one thing my mother values other than herself, it’s her sons.”
Her lips parted and a soft gasp escaped. My gaze dropped to her lips–lips that I hadn’t been able to get my mind off ever since last night. Lips that I had jerked off to just to calm my hard throbbing cock.
Meadow chewed on her bottom lip and a rock formed in my throat. My cock twitched in my pants as her eyes darted to my mouth.
And then she whispered two words I wasn’t expecting. “Kiss me,”
My brain blanked for only a second before I went into action, capturing Meadow’s mouth with mine.
She sighed into the kiss, melting against me. I didn’t rush this time, I savored the taste of her mouth, her tongue, taking my time to learn the soft warmth.
I kissed her like we had all the time in the world, and with the way her hands snaked around my neck, she didn’t want me to stop.
But I had to
We were still in public. And I was afraid that if I went too deep, nothing was going to be able to stop me.
I pulled away.

“You ready to get in the car now, baby?”
Meadow shivered, and I was fully certain that it wasn’t from the cold. “I’m sorry I left without telling you,”
she breathed.
“How did you find this place?“
“Your GPS history,” she muttered, although I could detect something smug in her tone. “But I shouldn’t
have left. I know that now.”
My mouth twitched. “Smart girl,” I rasped, stroking her cheek. “You can make it up to me when we get home. And you will.”
Meadow exhaled sharply. “Is that a threat?”
“No.” I smirked. “It’s a promise.”
Throughout the entire ride home, Alaric’s hand remained on my exposed thigh while he drove with the other. It was difficult to concentrate or think of other reasons I was supposed to be upset with him for.
And I liked that I couldn’t concentrate. If it meant I wouldn’t have to cry or dwell on what had happened in that facility with my unhinged twin sister, then I was all in
I bit down a moan when his hand inched higher. I wondered what he was going to do to me. Whether he was going to finger me or find other ways to make me orgasm that didn’t involve him actually sticking his dick inside of me.
Wet heat pooled between my thighs. I wasn’t going to ask him.
I already had a plan of my y own
“You’re shaking,” he stated plainly, glancing over at me before refocusing on the road. He was driving
fast. So fucking fast, I’d be terrified if I wasn’t so turned on
“Not from the cold,” I admitted, tugging his jacket around me and sniffing subtly, getting used to his scent.
Alaric let out a low chuckle that sent another shiver down my spine as he drove smoothly through the
gates. And when he parked the car in the garage, he was out without a second thought. And so was I
“Come here, baby,” he rasped, wrapping an arm around my waist as he lifted me up and merged his lips
with mine for the second time today.
I wasn’t sure why I’d asked him to kiss me back then. All I knew was that this was a man who was willing to cut ties with his own mother just for mistreating me.
And there was nothing sexier than that–except his kisses, of course.
He groaned low into my mouth as my thighs wrapped around his waist, my hands snaking around his neck. His kiss wasn’t soft. Not like it was an hour ago. There was nothing fucking gentle about this.
No restraint or patience. Alaric’s tongue forced its way between my lips and I accepted it instantly. meeting it with mine as I played with the hair at the nape of his neck
I didn’t even know Alaric had started moving until the door slammed against the wall. I whimpered as his kisses turned fiercer and he spanked my ass hard.
“Oh my God.”

That didn’t come from me, or Alaric

Alaric tore his mouth away from mine. “The hell are you doing here, Cami?” he snapped, I buried my face into his neck, embarassed. I wasn’t going to turn.
No way I was going to be able to face her now–or Mel, who I could tell had also seen us by the sound of
her throat clearing.
“Um, I just came here for some advice, but it looks like you’re busy. Hi, Meadow.”
“Hi,” I squeaked, burying my face further into his neck.
Alaric sighed, his voice cold as he said: “Go home, Mel. And you, leave. Now.”
“I mean, you don’t have to tell me twice,” Cami murmured, followed by sounds of her feet shuffling as she walked out through another door–thankfully not the same one we had just walked in through.
Alanc didn’t wait, he carried me toward the stairs, peppering kisses all over my jaw and neck as he did.
“Oh my God,” I groaned. “That was so embarrassing.”
He let out a low chuckle. “Easy for you to say,” he murmured against my neck. “You’re not the one who was sporting a fucking hard–on in front of the woman who practically raised you.”
Alaric kissed me again before I could say anything in response. He stepped into his room, taking his jacket off my shoulders, and then tossed me onto his bed.
I let out a sound between a gasp and a moan, watching Alaric with half–closed eyes as he popped the buttons of his black shirt. My heart thudded in anticipation. This was way different. More heated than his usual control and precision when it came to delivering pleasure.
It looked like he’d lost every form of control. And I wondered what he would do with this. With me
“Alaric…“My tongue dried up as he shrugged off his shirt, revealing those goddamn sexy tattoos, and then my gaze dropped to his pants. To the bulge that was pushing against it.
He didn’t take them off. He just made his way to me on the bed, pulling me by my thighs to the edge in
one swift motion.
“Fuck, Meadow,” he rasped against my mouth. “You make me lose my fucking mind.” He kissed me once, and then pushed my gown up my thighs and stomach. “Lift for me, baby.”
I did, and our noses touched for a second before he took my gown off my head, leaving me in a pair of white matching bra and underwear–thankfully. 1
Alaric paused for a moment, his gaze dragging slowly all over my body. His eyes flashed. “You look like a fucking angel” And then his mouth was on mine again.
“Yeah?” I moaned into his mouth.

CHAPTER DUDD
“Yeah. And I’m going to fucking worship you like one.”
Before I could say anything in protest, Alaric started to kiss his way down my body. He took his time, his hand roaming around my waist and stomach while his hot wet mouth played with my body.
He flicked my covered breast with his finger and I yelped, but my yelp turned into a soft moan when his mouth latched onto my nipple through the lacy fabric of my bra.
“Oh God,” I gasped as his hand played with my other nipple, cupping my breast and then rolling my already hard and sensitive nipple between his thumb and forefinger. Alaric sucked on my nipple until I could feel the heat of his mouth. The wetness. And then he moved to the other while his hand began to
trail downward.
“What are you doing to me?” I found myself whispering
Alaric’s fingers trailed lower, beneath the waist band of my panties, and as he inched them downward, he answered. “Worshipping you. Like I said I would ”
I whimpered when he swiped his finger between my folds, running my juices over my clit. “So fucking wet,” he rasped, looking up at me. “And all fucking mine.”
But as he started to descend, it was like a bucket of ice had been poured over me. All of a sudden, I
snapped: “No.”
Alaric froze, his brows furrowing as he looked up at me. “What?”
I was panting for breath, but I forced myself to focus, looking away from his eyes to the mysterious black door not far from his bed. Alaric’s eyes widened slightly when he noticed what I was looking at
“I want you to take me in there,” I breathed.
By now, I already had an inkling of what was in there. It was some kind of pleasure room, I was sure of it. If Alaric said that he had to be overstimulated to enjoy sex with women he couldn’t feel, then he probably had a lot of… things in there.
And I wanted to see. I wanted to know. I wanted him to use them on me.
“No,” he said firmly. “You’re not ready.”
I rolled my eyes. “Or you just don’t want me.”
“Of course, I want you. You know I do.”
“Then prove it, Alaric,” I said. When he didn’t say anything, I continued. “Fine. I’m going to give you three
options then.”
He simply arched a brow. “Which are?”

I pushed myself upward until our faces were only inches apart. My core throbbed for him, but this was more important. “Option one, you take me in there and you show me that part of you you think I’m not
ready to see. Option two… I walk o
of here.” I paused, watching his expression harden. “I walk out of
here, and you’ll leave me alone for real this time. No matter how horny I am.”
“Is that a threat?”
I bit down on my lip, repeating the words he’d said to me earlier. “No. It’s a promise.”
Alaric’s eyes narrowed. “And what, pray tell, is option three?”
Slowly, with slightly trembling hands, I reached for his chest and trailed downward, kissing him while I
moved further down.
“You let me deliver pleasure to you for once.”
Alaric’s gaze darkened. “And by that, you mean…?”
I swallowed hard. “You feed me your cock.” 1
CHAPTER 0067
Meadow’s POV:
I already knew what he was going to say when I asked him to show me what was behind the door. It’s
why option three came in handy. That way, if he didn’t let me in there, at least he’d let me please him.
And I knew he wasn’t going to choose option two.
“So, what will it be, Daddy?” My voice was barely above a whisper, laced with want–because I did want
him
God, I wanted him so badly. And from the way his eyes darkened even further, I could tell that he wanted
me too. Maybe even more than I wanted him.
Alaric hummed, tongue sticking out to wet his lips. “You’re giving me ultimatums now?”
I bit down softly on my bottom lip “You can’t treat me like I’m made of porcelain forever.”
“Yes,” he murmured, pinching my nipple and drawing out a moan from me. “I can. Come here.”
And then his mouth was on mine again, kissing me like he just couldn’t get enough. I giggled against his mouth. “All those weeks you made up every single existing excuse not to kiss me, and then the second you do, you don’t want to stop.”
Alaric’s lips moved to my neck as his fingers gently stroked the front of my panties. My back arched in response and he groaned. “Is that a question or an observation?”
“Maybe both,” I whispered. Alaric froze against my neck when I began to trace his belt with my fingers. And then, before I could overthink it, I edged downward, my fingers grazing the front of his pants.
A gasp escaped me. Alaric’s bulge was pushing hard against his pants. He jerked a little and I swallowed
nervously.
“You’re treading on dangerous grounds here, baby.”
He pulled back to look at me, resting one hand at the nape of my neck as his teeth scraped along his bottom lip.
“Do you not want me to taste you?” I asked softly.
“Of course I do, Meadow. Fuck.” His eyes flashed and he pulled me up along with him so we were both on our feet now. “You have no idea of the kind of plans I have for this pretty mouth,” he rasped, tracing my lower lip with his thumb. “The kind of plans I have for this tight fucking body of yours.”
Alaric squeezed my waist, jerking me against his body so I could feel his hard–on pressing against my
stomach.

More heat pooled at the bottom of my stomach. “Then let me please you, Daddy. Please.”
“Fucking love it when you call me that.” His other hand squeezed my neck. “And I seem to remember telling you I have this burning desire to give you whatever you want,” he continued.
A shiver ran down my spine. I remembered that as well. He said that to me the day he set me down on the kitchen counter like a meal, and then ate me out like a starving man.
My thighs rubbed together and my eyelids fluttered. “And?”
His eyes darkened further. “Get on your knees,”
My breath caught in my throat.
It was a simple command. One that my body was so eager to follow as my knees buckled before my brain could even process it. Slowly, I lowered myself to the floor in front of him.
Oh god. I was really doing this. I was really going to have Alaric’s cock in my mouth for the very first
time. I was going to SEE it for the very first time.
Alaric’s dark gaze stayed on mine, his jaw clenched although his expression was indifferent, like a woman on her knees at his feet was some sort of daily routine. I wondered how many girls had done this
before me.
Wondered how many he’d actually felt.
“You gonna stare at my crotch all day, baby?” His voice was deep, laced thickly with what I recognized as
want. Need. “What are you waiting for?”
I was nervous. Fucking nervous. But I wasn’t going to admit it before Alaric would say I wasn’t ready. I
was.
I was ready.
I tried to keep my hands steady as I reached for his belt, undoing the buckle. The sound of the zipper as I pulled it down echoed through the room. It was the only other sound apart from my haphazard breathing. And his steady one.
I pulled down his pants, leaving him in his briefs, and my mouth watered just looking at the lining of his cock through the briefs.
Alalric gently ran a hand through my hair. “You sure you’re ready for this?”
“Mm hm,” I hummed, nodding eagerly as I looked up at him.
A look crossed his eyes that I could recognize. “Go on, then.”
I chewed on my lower lip to hide my smile and then I finally pulled his briefs down, letting Alaric’s cock

spring free. And-
“Oh…”
That was all I could manage because my tongue had gone completely dry, and whatever thoughts that were lingering at the back of my mind completely disappeared.
Alaric’s erection was thick, long, and veiny. Slightly curved.
But that wasn’t all.
I’d read about Jacob’s ladder piercings before, but I’d never seen pictures, or ever really cared to.
Alaric had them. Four small horizontal bar bells that pierced through the underside of his shaft. I
remembered seeing a glint of metal the first night we met while a girl was sucking him off, but I never…
Slowly, I took him in my hand. The skin of his cock was smooth and hard and velvety at the same time. He was… magnificent. My core throbbed. How on earth was he going to fit into my mouth? How was he going to fit inside of me?
Alaric hissed when I tugged slightly. “Fuck, baby. Stop fucking teasing and give me that mouth.”
Precum leaked from the tip, and I leaned in to lick it off. Alaric tensed, grunting softly.
When I looked up at him, a hand was running across his mouth like he was trying not to lose control.
“Suck,” he demanded.
His bossy tone sent another warm wave between my legs and I obeyed, running my tongue around the head before finally sucking it into my mouth.
“Fuckkkkk,” he groaned low and long. “That’s it, baby. Slowly.”
Sparks of pleasure fluttered through my insides. He was trying to guide me through it as he knew I’d never done this before.
I opened my mouth wider, taking more of his thickness in and trying not to gag around him. It was too much.
“Relax, love,” he murmured, lacing a hand through my hair and grabbing a hold of it. “Don’t overthink it. Just do it.”
I did as he asked, willing my mind to relax. I moaned around his length once the cold metal of his piercing met my tongue. It was such a contrast to the warm feel of him in my mouth.
I wanted more. And so I took it.
I hollowed out my cheeks and bobbed gently while my hand worked the base of his cock.

“You’re doing so well, baby girl Fuck.”
Alanie’s praises made me heady, and my eyelids fluttered closed when a little shudder rippled through
him.
“Look at me,” he ordered roughly.
My gaze flicked up to him. And I wasn’t sure what Alaric saw, but I couldn’t read the expression in his
eyes. And when he spoke again, his voice was cold.
“Take your hand off,” he said as his grip on my hair tightened.
I did as he asked.
“Good girl. Now, I’m going to fuck your throat, baby. Open your mouth.”
My eyes widened in protest and I tried pulling away, but his grip didn’t let me.
