Reaping Consequences

Chapter Ten

Mathias

I kick my brother under the table, and he turns his dark gaze on me. "What? It's not like you don't like her sassy mouth." He grins at me before turning his attention back to her. "I mean, she was all you could talk about after –" I kick him again, this time harder.

He stops speaking, but the damage is already done.

Her eyes penetrate me, and I reach over and put my hand on her thigh, hoping to keep her from asking about it here.

"So how is school?" I ask, changing the subject. Cadence still doesn't say a word, and I'm thankful for that. I already know that once we are in the room, she'll have more than enough to say. Add that on top of me getting a room with only one bed, and I can bet that she's going to be like a damn bull in a china cabinet.

But I want her safe and the only way I know that she is safe is if she's with me. The gun I carry on me at all times isn't for show. I will kill anyone who tries to hurt what's mine, and before the end of this contract, she will be mine.

When the waitress comes back with the bottle of wine, and I test it, I nod my head, and she starts pouring the glasses one by one, starting with Rhys. Every few seconds she looks up at me and smiles, but I ignore her. There is only one girl I want, and I currently have my hand on her thigh, running my thumb slowly along her skin.

I notice how tense Cadence gets when the waitress looks over at me again for the fifth time in a few seconds. I lean over and whisper in her ear, "Jealousy is such a sexy look on you." I suck her earlobe into my mouth, and I feel her body shiver from the contact.

She may act like she hates me, but her body doesn't lie. She's attracted to me, to say the least, and hopefully, by the end of the weekend, I'll be able to convince her to sleep in my bed every night.

My dick stiffens as she puts her hand on my thigh, slightly moving up to my crotch. Before she can do what she's planning, I grab her hand and stop it. I pull back slightly, and she frowns. I know what she was going to do, I'm not stupid.

"Keep testing me, and I'll show you just who's in charge here." I pull away slightly and look up to see Rhys grinning like a damn fool. One thing I can't change is that I have an idiot for a brother.

"Whatever," Cadence mutters, grabbing her glass with the other hand since I still haven't released the one that was on my lap.

Wicked thoughts flow through my head as I watch her take a sip of that red wine. Her eyes close briefly before they open again. She turns her head to face me, and she raises an eyebrow in question.

Taking her hand, I press it against my hardness and watch her eyes widen just a fraction. She thinks she's a hardass, but I'm going to show her just how tough I am. I continue to use her hand to stroke myself through my pants as I look at the menu.

It doesn't take long for her to move on her own accord, so I move mine back to her lap. The dress she's wearing makes it easy for me to slide my fingers between her thighs.

Running my fingers along her lace panties, I feel how wet she is. She may be a virgin, but I'm going to corrupt the shit out of her. I'll have her begging me for my cock every single day.

She slides her legs apart slightly, giving me a little more room to play. Just as the waitress comes back to take our order, I slip my fingers under her panties. She shifts closer to me, and I love it. My fingers run along her before I slowly slide them inside of her.

Her hand on my dick freezes and when I look over at her, she's got her eyes closed. Leaning over, I tell her to order. Her eyes open quickly, and she mumbles something out. I tell the waitress what I want before handing her my menu and Cadence's. She takes Rhys menu next, and we start to talk about the game tomorrow.
