Stella
“I think we need to talk.” Max murmured.
“I’m good.” That’s the last thing I wanted to do.
Max narrowed his eyes and scanned my bruises. I couldn’t look at him when he made me feel weak. Mostly, I was ashamed that he saw my weakest point. He put two fingers under my chin and tipped my head back. “Well, I’m not good. How long are you going to let him do this to you? Last night was my last straw. I don’t give a shit if you’re good or not. We’re talking, sugar. Right fucking now.”
“I don’t want to talk about it. Please, don’t make me.” I whispered.
“Sugar, you need to leave him. Next time might be the day he ends you. Then, who will take care of Trevor and Aubree. I’m going to give you a choice. Either let me take you away from this or stay here and live an eternity of hell.”
“Max…”
“Quiet sugar, Daddy’s not done talking. I’ve sat back long enough and watched Paul break you down to nothing. That ends now. First thing, I’m going to beat the holy hell out of him. Every mark on this beautiful body, that’s exactly how many times I’m gonna hit him. Now, what will it be? You gonna let Daddy take you away or are you gonna be his punching bag for the rest of your life?”
“You don’t understand, I can’t. He’ll find me. And when he does, it will be ten times worse than the last time. I’m…”
“Sugar, you’re breaking Daddy’s heart. I’d give anything for you to be all mine. Whether you leave with me or not, Paul’s still getting his ass beat, along with his little friends. He deserves this. And you? You deserve to be treated like a princess.”
“But your shop, Paul will burn it to the ground. I can’t just let him do that.”
“Sugar, you’ve spent your life sacrificing for everyone else. It’s time to let someone else take care of you. It’s time for Daddy to take care of his girl. Before you say anything, I’m not asking, I’m telling you how this is gonna go.”
“I don’t deserve you, Max. I’ve been a bitch and…”
“Let me be your hero, sugar. Let Daddy take care of you and give you a happily ever after. Let me be your white knight.”
“Max, I can’t let you do that. I can’t let him hurt you or your boys. Your garage… the things you’ve worked so hard for. I…”
“The only thing that matters right now is you. If I lost…”
“I’m okay.” I cut him off.
Max swore under his breath and growled. “This shit isn’t okay. Not with me. Not with Kalina. And not with fuckin’ Daddy. I’m going to find his ass and when I do, he’s gonna wish he never laid his hands on you. He’s gonna find out what it feels like when he hurts you. He’s gonna feel your pain.”
“Max, I don’t want you to. Please, don’t do this.” I practically begged.
“No sugar, Daddy’s gonna take care of this for you and make him pay.”
I’ve never seen him so angry.
“Please…”
I knew he’d be angry, but this, murder, it’s not okay. That would mean I’d lose him forever and I didn’t want that.
“Daddy’s tried so hard to protect you and you always run back to him. To the monster of the story. I’m so angry… fuck sugar, you should rest for now.”
“Please, I…”
“I’m not going to hold you right now. Not when I’m angry. I don’t want to hurt you, sugar.”
“I trust you, Daddy.” Four little words I hoped would calm him down.
“I know.” He let out a sigh. “I know you do and that’s why I can’t break my promise to you. I won’t be like him. Never. That’s why I need to cool down.”
“Take it out on me, Daddy.”
Max took a step back and shook his head. “No, I won’t. If I took it out on you, I’d be just as bad as him.”
“Then, let me help you relax, Daddy. Let me suck you off.”
“As much as I’d like that, I can’t. the guys should be here soon. Lie down and I’ll be back soon.” Max murmured, leaving me before I could protest. Max never returned. Not until the early hours the next morning. Beside him was his two best friends along with Anna. I knew why Clay and Rod were here. To go on a hunting trip with Max to beat Paul’s ass.
“Stella, it’s been a long time.” Clay stated.
“Yes, it has.”
“Guy, go to the kitchen and make yourself at home. I need a moment with Stella.”
Max knelt down on one knee and took both of my hands. He kissed the top of each one and murmured. “How did you sleep?”
I shrugged my shoulders. “Better if I was in your arms, Daddy.”
“You know what that does to me, sugar. Why do you tease me like that? Daddy doesn’t like being teased, little girl. Maybe I should punish you.”
“Spank me, Daddy.”
Max raised up and hovered over me. He guided my hand between my thighs and pressed two of my fingers against my clit. I took a deep breath and met his intense gaze. “I have other ways to punish you, sugar. Like this, edging you closer until you beg Daddy to let his little girl come.”
“Please…” I begged. “Please, Daddy, make me come.”
He curled his lips upward, a dark and a smirk I knew all too well. He circled my clit vigorously. So close to the edge but yet, so far away. He knew it too. This was my punishment. To make me ache for him. Until I plead and beg for release.
“Nuh uh sugar, not until Daddy says so.” Max whispered harshly, slowing my fingers down. Just enough to make me sexually frustrated.
“Please Daddy, I need to come. I need it so bad!” I hissed.
“Shh, don’t want anyone to hear, sugar. Be real quiet and I’ll give you a reward for taking your punishment like a good girl. Be bad and I’ll leave you frustrated and aching with need.”
