SIX.

ACE.

My eyes snap open as I jolt awake. An icy shiver takes over my soul.

Brushing a hand over my face, I try to shake the exhaustion that clings to me. Releasing a long sigh, I cast my gaze downward to find Birdenes’ arm slung across my bare chest with her leg over my hip. Half of her body is over mine, and she is using me as her human pillow.

If she were one of my other girls, I would have rolled her over and turned my back to face her. I’m not the type of man who likes to hug. 

There are no roses and chocolates with a happy ending in sight with these auction deals.

You bid on a number that just so happens to tickle your fantasies. You fuck her, feed her, house her, and give her some spending money to help pass the time.

But with Birdene, there is no urgency to push her off me. 

If I’m to be brutally honest. I feel the complete opposite. 

I want nothing more than to crush her small frame against my large body.

A few stray strands of her hair tickle my nose, filling my senses with her scent until I’m heady with desire and my head spins.

Mango and cream…

Fuck.

Every time I see or catch a whiff of a mango and cream. I’m going to be reminded of her.

Birdene Black.

I clench my jaw as my mind takes me back to her riding my hand in my office. Her flushed cheeks, eyes dilated with hunger and the soft sound of her moaning my name will forever be ingrained in my memory.

Whoever thought bidding on her and trying to fuck the innocence out of her was a good idea...

Needs a damn bullet between their eyes.

I...  need a bullet between my eyes.

This girl will be the death of me. I’m already infatuated with her, and infatuation leads to obsession. 

A trait I cannot afford to fuck around with at the moment. I have a plan that I need to stick with, and that is me sending her on her merry way back to her father after I’ve done with her.

I lied about helping her escape.

She is too important to my plans just to watch her walk away.

A small beam of moonlight peaks through the narrow gap in the blinds. It’s barely enough to make out the silhouette of my Little Birds’ button nose and her long lashes as they fan her high cheekbones.

Just by staring at her, I know she is going to become a weakness of mine. I have a sense she is going to make me feel like I am out of control. 

Which can be potentially very dangerous for everyone around me.

Shit…

My dick is so hard it fucking aches. And all I can think about is how fucking good it will feel to slide my dick into her entrance. Feeling her pretty little cunt clench around me. To fill her with my cum, until it is dripping down her creamy white thighs.

Unable to control myself. I reach down and grip my cock. Squeezing the fuck out of it as I bite back a groan. 

The vision of rubbing my cock along her wet pussy, coating my cock with her arousal before I push hard enough to enter her has me on edge.

All it would take is for me to roll her onto her back and take what is rightfully mine. 

But the thought of her begging me to fuck her stops me from doing so.

I’m just going to have to jack off in bed with half her naked body lying on me as she soaks up my body heat. 

Being careful not to wake her, I glide my hand up and down my shaft.

“Ace… Please…” She moans my name in her sleep. “Daddy…”

Fuck.

My cock jerks in my palm.

Having her call me Daddy should make me feel sick—perverted.

But it doesn’t. 

It makes me hot for her, and the thought of me taking good care of her better than Jaxson makes my cock jerk in my palm once again.

Carefully, I shift, so my cock is against the heart of her pussy. There is nothing between us; nothing stopping me from slipping my cock inside her.

I won’t cross that line. But I have no problems lightly treading on others.

Birdene moves, rocking her hips against my cock.

“Ace,” she moans again, her voice husky from sleep.

I lower my hand, lightly gliding the pad of my fingers across her cunt. Gentle enough to feel how wet she is for me.

Gods all-fucking-mighty!

She is soaked.

I brush my fingertips across her pussy once again until they are slick with her love juice.

As my heart thumps in the nest of my chest, it takes all the willpower I possess not to fuck her.

I won’t. I keep telling myself.

Not until she is begging me to, and I want to watch her as she slowly takes every inch of me inside her.

For now, her arousal will have to do as I press the tip of my cock right up against the entrance of her pussy. Gliding it along the folds of her sex as I use her pussy to jack myself off.

I grit my teeth.

If I angle my hips a little to the right, I’ll be inside her.

Balls fucking deep.

Swallowing her name, my cock jerks as my balls tighten, and I shift the tip of my cock inside her, shooting my seed deep into that gorgeous pussy of hers. 

The notion of knocking her up and sending her home crosses my mind.

I shift, scooping up my escaping seed from her pussy with my fingers. And I quickly push it back inside of her with a devious smirk forming on the corners of my mouth.

But then the prospect of my child being raised by a member of the black family quickly distinguishes that sick thought.  

Caressing her cheek with the back of my hand, I make a mental note to get Alana to leave a morning-after pill next to a large glass of water on her bedside table for her to wake up and find.

I drop my hand from her face and close my eyes as I allow myself to drift back off to sleep.

Now that my cock is spent.

I should be able to catch up on a few hours of some decent shut-eye. Tomorrow is another day, and tomorrow night I’m going to need to be on my A game where Flynn Black is concerned.

I can’t wait to see that sick fuck’s face when he sees Birdene hanging off my arm like eye candy.

He's going to lose his shit, and I'm already giddy just thinking about it.
