LOGINThe shift from wanting to rip off the blindfold to not wanting to take it off at all was a bit annoying.
Why? Because this was pathetic. I was pathetic.
I hadn't been in her mouth for two minutes, and I came, grunting like a man about to meet his end as I thrust into her mouth with a weak move of my hips, hitting the back of her throat over and over again, and still she took me. She swallowed around me, still rubbing my balls, and I went from grunting like an animal to moaning her name like a prayer.
“Siri…” I breathed as my grip on her hair tightened, and she just moaned. “Baby, fuck… Yes, Siri!”
It went on and on, my balls being emptied, and still she managed to drag something out of me.
I never thought a day would come when I, Jackson M’Call, would think an orgasm was too much. But right now, this was just too much.
My body started to tremble when she kept sucking me and rubbing my balls between her fingers. I grew lightheaded, stars dancing in the darkness, and my voice became so rough it was nearly a growl.
“Fuck, Siri… Baby, please stop. I… I can't take it anymore.”
The third thing that went wrong was like a slap to my face. A slap that left me shaken.
I realized, with fear in my heart and every bone, that I was in love. With my dick jerking and pulsing in Siri’s mouth, with my balls thick in her grip, I realized that I was in love. Utterly, pathetically in love with a woman who doesn't want to be seen with me in public.
I would never give up control to another woman if she pointed a gun at my balls the way I have completely surrendered to Siri. In the past, I would not have let any woman blindfold me and hold so much control over me.
I remembered my mother’s words about how love was bittersweet, and I realized with a heavy beat in my heart that I'd felt the bitter and I’d felt the sweet.
I realized that this… this was… this was rock bottom. I couldn't go any lower than this.
She still carries the scar given to her by another man. She was still scared and afraid to open her heart and let someone new in, and meanwhile, Jackson, the absolute fool that I am, was in love.
If I could laugh, I would be trembling in laughter right now, but this woman seemed to have plans to kill me because she was still sucking my dick like she wanted to pull it clean out of my pelvis.
I didn't know where the strength came from as I placed my hands under her arms, and then raised her so she was on top of me. I grunted when I felt her naked body against mine, her core resting on my spent dick, and the bastard had the nerve to jerk when it felt her wetness against it.
With one hand, I tugged her bra off, and the sight that met my eyes when it adjusted to the dim light was, simply put, my downfall.
Siri was staring right into my eyes, her eyes hooded and dark. In those honey-brown eyes, I saw… everything. I saw lust, passion; I saw the hesitation still, but I also saw relief. And I saw… adoration.
She stared at me in a way I haven't seen her stare at me before: like I was all she could see, like I was all that filled her world. And that… that look was the last nail in the coffin, and that was the moment all of me became hers.
“Jackson…” she whispered, her eyes dropping to my lips. Her hair was still in her braid, but a few strands had escaped, falling into her face and framing it, making her look like a siren sent to ruin me, and she had succeeded. There were streaks of semen on her jaw and chin, her naked body still on mine, glistening with sweat. “Jackson, that was so sexy. You… you were so so sexy.”
She leaned forward, and that movement made her shift on top of me, rubbing her core on my dick, and my breath hitched. She grabbed the back of my neck, lowering my head so she could kiss me. Both our eyes were still open as her lips moved slowly against mine, her tongue entering my mouth and curling around mine. I tasted myself on her, and that felt more intimate than when she had my dick deep in her throat.
I didn't return the kiss; I didn't look away from her eyes. She didn't mind. She actually smiled as she pulled back.
“Have I managed to rock your world so hard that your voice has failed you?” she asked with a teasing tone in her voice.
“Yes,” I answered with a grunt, my voice too deep and serious. “Yes, you have, Siri.”
She smiled so sweetly; my heart felt like it was about to explode in my chest. “That was the goal.”
I looked into those eyes, my throat tight.
I was in love. I was already madly in love, and I was scared. Scared because I could almost see the future, and I saw a whole hell of a lot of pain in it.
She wanted us to be a secret, and if it were just to our parents, I would understand. I would wait until this marriage fell apart, and then I would introduce her to my mother as the woman who has swept me off my feet so hard I didn't want to get up.
But everybody else? People at that fucked up college, and an even more fucked up town? I couldn't understand that. And I know, damn it, that things were only about to get more ugly, and that argument we had yesterday would be nothing compared to the ones coming.
I hated it. I hated this feeling so much; this fear and helplessness.
Siri finally saw something in my eyes, and her expression fell, turning serious. She grabbed my face with one hand, and just that small touch, but I felt a hunger in my chest.
“Jackson? Are… are you okay?”
I stared into her eyes, at that look that said she was already blaming herself, thinking she had done something wrong.
So I forced a smile as I took her hand, still on my face, and placed a soft kiss on her wrist. “I’m okay, darling. I just…” I scoffed. “That was one hell of an orgasm. Were you planning to suck my soul out?”
She laughed softly, her eyes so bright and warm it almost felt painful looking into them. “Yeah, something like that.”
I leaned down and kissed her just because I couldn't help it, hoping she didn't notice the way I shook.
I was in love.
Fuck me.
Yeah, fuck Toria and her stupid advice. Fuck that happy ending nonsense. Sure, I do want a happy ending with him. I want a happy beginning, middle, and ending with Jackson. All of that and more! Damn it, I had even been thinking of the perfect future together with him. Yes—and fuck you—I’ve been thinking of going somewhere with him, getting a house, three dogs, and maybe one cat. We could live like that for a few years, then get married, and decide if we wanted kids. I'd already mapped out the perfect future, the perfect ending.So yeah… Use him? USE him? How on God’s green earth can I use him when I was in love with him? I was madly in love with that man, and it made me realize that I was never in love with Michael. No. No, I was just in love with the attention and the idea of love, the idea that someone finally wants me. But this painful shit with Jackson? This soul-crashing devastation? Yeah, this was love. This was love in its purest, fucked up form.So how was I going to us
“I thought you might be gone already,” Toria said as we settled into my hotel room. “Jackson already booked my flight,” I said, opening a beer. “I leave in two days.”“Hmm. So what are you going to do till then? Stay cranked up in here?”“Probably.”“I could show you around, you know.”I thought about it for a second and shook my head, sipping my drink. “Thank you, but no.”I had thought about leaving and just going to tour on my own, but every time I thought about the possibility that I might run into him out there, I shook off that thought. Maybe I would have seen him with his hand around another woman’s waist, laughing with the boys and acting like that night didn't happen. But seeing him on screen tonight, I don't think any of that might have happened. I wanted to ask Toria what happened and why he looked that way, but then I might sound like I care, which I very much do, and I wanted to stay cool and keep up this nonchalant act until I was out of here.And so I sipped my drink
SIRIHe… lost. I stared at the TV screen in my small hotel room, my eyes wide, hands squeezed together and pressed to my chest.“He lost,” I whispered it out loud like it would make sense if I did so. I told myself I wasn't going to watch the game, that I would stay away from my screen and just wait for my flight back home two days from now, but I couldn't. I couldn't let the chance of seeing him, even though it was from a screen, slip away. As soon as his team had skated onto the ice and the camera zoomed in on them, my eyes had found him immediately, and I knew something was wrong. His skin was too pale, his eyes looked too sunken, and he kept flexing his wrists over and over, to the point I was sure everyone in the arena must have noticed. And I could have sworn that he was trembling. The game started, and it was even worse. Everything about the way he moved, to the way he could no longer hide his trembling, was wrong. It filled my heart with dread and panic. I couldn't relax a
PRESENTThe smoke of that cigar, laced with a chocolate scent, burned into my nose even though he was across the street. The scent was the same: the cigar lit, resting on his lips, lifted in a smile. A small smile, soft and gentle. Not like that frightening smile he had on his face that night that still sends a chill down my spine. Elijah M’Call still looked the same even seven years later. His black hair was slicked back from his face, dotted with gray. His grey eyes were wrinkled at the corners from age. His shoulders were still broad beneath his tailored suit, and black leather gloves covered his hands.He still looked and dressed the same. Nothing had changed.After that night, I had cut every tie with this man. I made sure I never heard a word from him or received a single penny. I moved into Jacob’s house, and his mother accepted me without a single complaint, letting me stay until I could rent my own place. I didn't speak to my mother for two years after that. She came to my

Reader discretion is advised. ~.~“I can think of a few things that can make you quit hockey,” my father said, his voice relaxed, but his face was filled with hell. He stood chest to chest with me, and I fought every instinct screaming at me to lower my eyes, to pull back. I fought them and stood perfectly still, not letting that dark look intimidate me.“What?” I spat. “Are you going to pay the coach to kick me out of the team? Then I'll just find another team to join.”“Jackson, please,” my mother whispered, and that just made my fists clench harder. Why was she calling me back and not her husband? He was the one threatening to take my dream away from me! My hopes for a better future, and still I was the one being called back? Did she really think I would just roll over and accept this bullshit? Bloody no. “That is way beneath me, Jackson,” he said in a low voice, acting li
SEVEN YEARS AGOThe sun had long since set, and the neighborhood was dark by the time I strolled in through the back door, my shoes tied together by their laces and hanging around my neck, my hands shoved into my pockets. Hopefully my parents were asleep by now, and I wouldn't have to deal with either of them. It was exhausting to look into their eyes these days and act like everything was fine when I harbored a little bit of hatred for my father. Okay, maybe it was more than a little bit, but I won’t tell if you don’t. I spent time at Jacob’s house long after practice, then came home and lied through my teeth, saying the coach sucked us dry with practice, which is why I was so late.You can’t blame me. The atmosphere in this house was depressing, and hearing my father whistle while he smoked his cigar, acting like all was right and fair in the world, was pissing me off when I could see my mother was losing weight, when I could clearly see she was losing her shine. She just needed
