This Round I'm Yours (15 page)

“He saw me
naked
.”

The agony in her voice flayed him, and cursing under his breath, he dragged her onto his lap. She burrowed into him immediately, clinging to him like she had never clung to him before.

It hurt, it fucking hurt to have his strong little lamb act like she was helpless. “It’s okay now, sweetheart.” He kissed her hair as he rocked her like a baby. “No one’s going to hurt you now. I swear it.”

“He showed it t-to the other guy, and I d-don’t know w-who else saw it…” She cried harder. “But w-what m-made me h-hate myself was when I f-found out t-that because of me, they got hold of something that should have b-belonged to KC alone.”

Hugging her tightly, he whispered tightly, “Trust me, sweetheart. Everything’s under control.” He knew the power of those words, and he used it ruthlessly. He would do everything to stop his little lamb from hurting.

On his lap, Lace was shuddering, fighting for control, fighting to prove that she did trust him.

He forced himself to ask. “Did any of them hurt you while you three were in your room?”

Silence.

“Wyndham…”

Slowly, her voice almost inaudible, she enumerated her injuries that night.

A shove that sent her flying halfway across the room—

Her head knocked hard against the wall—

Slaps to her face—

Silver’s fists tightened, and at that moment, he couldn’t be sure if the day he’d snap and go after those two wouldn’t ever come.
 

“And the way he kept looking at me,” Lace said sickly. “L-like it was only a matter of time before he would have me…”

She was drowning under the humiliation of it all, remembering how fucking helpless she had felt—

Over her head, Silver said, “If you had told me this…”

Her breath caught, and even though she knew it was stupid, she couldn’t help thinking he would reject her. After finding out what had happened, he’d realize that she didn’t deserve someone like him.

Their gazes collided.

And she started to cry again, the emotions in Silver’s gaze just too much.

“I’d have told you I’m so damn proud of you, sweetheart.”
 

Her sobs became uncontrollable.

“They fucking bullied you, terrorized you, but you chose to protect your friend. Even knowing you could lose everything, you chose to trust
me
.” His lips brushed against her as he whispered, “I’m so damn proud of you, Evangeline Lace Wyndham—”

She shook her head vehemently, unable to bear hearing him say the words. “I was so d-damn scared—”

“Being scared doesn’t make you a coward.”

“And I w-was stupid—”

“You believed he was a nice person. That can’t ever be a wrong thing, little lamb.” His voice gentled. “No matter what you say, it won’t change my mind. You’re the bravest girl I know, and I’ll always love you for it.”

She cried at his words, cried so much it was almost like she wouldn’t ever stop. Throughout it, Silver held her, knowing it was the only thing he could do. Hold her until she stopped crying. Until she forgot. Until she allowed herself to believe he was with her for good.

She didn’t speak for a long while, even after her sobs had completely died. When she did, her voice was hoarse with remnants of fear. “Are we…a-are we really okay now?”

His voice gentle, he told her, “We’ve always been okay.”

“It’s just…” She choked. “It’s just hard to believe, after e-everything.” She let out a painful laugh. “I’ve a-always thought stuff like that would n-never happen to me, but I g-guess that’s what we think until it r-really does happen.”

His arms tightened around her. “I’m sorry it had to happen, sweetheart.” He tipped her chin up, needing to taste her lips, needing to have her taste his. “All I can promise you is it won’t happen again.”

She nodded against his chest. “I trust you.” One, two, three seconds passed before she begged, “Say something funny, please? I’m just s-so tired of crying.”

He paused. “Don’t ever forget your promise.”

Her head lifted, Lace pushing herself up against his chest. “My promise?”

“You have to tell me if you need me.”

“I will. I would never—”

“No matter what you think of me, I’m here to protect you.”

Lace’s eyes widened. “I know. I never said—”

“So…” Silver’s face became solemn. “Don’t treat me like I’m just arm candy.”

Her eyebrows shot up in shock. “What?”

“Or a fuck buddy—”

She finally realized what he was doing and started laughing. “Oh,
March.
”

His knuckles grazed her cheek. “I’m your boyfriend, Lace Wyndham, and I’m yours.”

Her touch was just as tender, fingers tracing his lips. “I’m glad for that. You don’t know…” Her voice caught. “You probably won’t ever know how much, and I don’t k-know if I can ever tell you how much. But in case you have any doubts…” Her lips curved in a teary smile. “I’m yours.”

EPILOGUE

Bad News: The Things You Never Want to Hear

“Pervert,” Lace gasped even as she couldn’t make herself stop Silver from what he was doing.

When she was finally naked except for her pair of trainers, Silver stepped back, letting his gaze slowly roam all over her body. His gaze aroused her, like it always did, and she could feel her breasts swelling, its points prickling in awareness as moisture once again gathered between her thighs.

“Turn around slowly.”

The words were more than enough to make her flush from head to toe, but her word was her bond so she couldn’t make herself disobey. Slowly, she turned around, and a gasp escaped her as doing so made her face the mirror.

She froze, her lewd reflection taking her by surprise.

It also made her even wetter, hotter, more desperate—

Without warning, Silver captured her from behind. He lifted her up, making her gasp, and then she gasped again as he lowered her on his cock. With her hands gripping his biceps and her legs dangling on each side over each arm, she was completely exposed, her pussy spread open like a fully bloomed flower.

He started to move, and she could see his cock entering her inch by inch before pulling back again. It was fascinating and embarrassing at the same time, but for the life of her, Lace couldn’t tear her gaze away from their reflection on the mirror.

She moaned when he started fucking her harder. “
Pervert
.”

His chuckle tickled the side of her neck. “Am I?”

“Yes, you…are…” Her head fell back as she felt his lips caressing her neck. “For thinking up this type of…punishment…
pervert
.”

“But,” Silver countered huskily, “you like this kind of punishment, don’t you?” He began to bounce her on his cock.

This position, his cock, her pussy bouncing up and down…

Her eyes rolled back.

Outside, she heard footsteps and voices, louder and louder—

Her eyes flew open.

Oh my God, it was her boys!
 

They were coming and—

Silver laughed.

Nooooooooo.

It really was going to happen.

“Think of it this way,” Silver whispered wickedly into her ear. “You’re lucky you don’t have to fake it.” One quick flip and she was on her feet, bent halfway, and he was sliding back into her from behind as he palmed her breasts and pinched her nipples. “It’s just going to come out naturally—”

One hand moved down and brushed against her clitoris, making Lace moan.

His thrusts became more forceful, his strokes against her clitoris becoming faster.

Outside, her boys had reached the door, and the knob started to rattle.

She bit her lip hard, doing her best to keep quiet.

“It’s locked,” Lace heard Drew exclaim in surprise. “Did any of you lock it?”

A chorus of “No’s” answered him.

Silver captured her gaze in the mirror. “You really think you can keep yourself quiet?”

She glared at him.

“Ah, little lamb. Why do you keep underestimating me?” With excruciating slowness, he reached for her pussy. His cock slid down, and she didn’t understand what he was about to do until she felt it—

Her folds expanding, stretching to accommodate his finger.

It was like being fucked twice at the same time, his cock and his finger sliding inside of her—

When both drove inside of her body, she could no longer keep her pleasure to herself.

Lace screamed.

“The fuck!” Damian roared outside the door.

“Is that…
Coach
?” Ivan asked.

She couldn’t stop moaning now, even knowing she could be heard. It was just not possible, with the way Silver was fucking her, filling her, possessing her.

As Silver pounded into her, his balls slapping hard against her bottom with each thrust, he managed to rasp out, “
Give us five minutes.
”

Silence.

And then everyone cursed in Greek.

Or at least she assumed those were curses because she still didn’t understand their language, and no fucking way would she be bothered to learn it.

When Silver started rotating his thumb on her clit, Lace couldn’t stop herself from moaning out loud.

Outside the room, sounds of gagging erupted.
 

“It’s like hearing your mom have sex,” Vasyl said weakly.

Everyone gagged again.

“Five minutes,” Ivan shouted, banging on the door.

Lace wanted to beg the same thing, but right now, she couldn’t manage to be coherent. All she could do was twist her head around to look at him, begging him with her eyes—

“When you look at me like that—”
 

Silver lifted her up.

A moment later, he was seated on the bench, she was straddling him, and his cock found its way back into her pussy.

“Feed me,” Silver growled.

Trembling, she plumped one breast and rose up, feeding it to him. Another moan escaped as his mouth latched onto her nipple. Silver grabbed her hips and began to lift her up and down his cock.

“P-Please…” The word was finally torn out of her.

“No.” So beautifully dominant, and she couldn’t get enough of it. Of him. Her Silver.

Sucking hard on her nipple, he forced her legs to open more widely before he reached down—

Her eyes widened.

This time, though, his hand was caressing her bottom, his finger stroking the folds. After a while, she could feel it, one finger slowly caressing her other hole. Her body jerked, her inner muscles contracting around his cock.

The sudden movement had his finger pushing slightly inside her other hole.

“Scream for me, little lamb.”

His finger eased before moving back inside again.
 

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
 

Outside, everyone gagged.

She wanted to die of embarrassment, but she couldn’t, not right now, not when she was about to die for another reason.
 

His cock in her pussy and his finger on her hole were finding a rhythm now, both of it penetrating her at the same time.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah.”
She lost all sense of shame, and when their eyes met, she begged, “Don’t stop.”

Silver fisted her hair, turning her around so he could whisper against her lips before kissing Lace, “Never.”

And then he was fucking her so hard on both sides that all she could do was chant his name. It was more than enough to have her boys running away like a ghost was after them.
