Page 97 of Between Secrets and Obsession

My heart nearly stops.

“You don’t think you’re able to feel love, Liam?” I ask softly.

“Not the way you deserve, baby.”

“Well, for the record, I think you’re exactly what I deserve. You’ve just proved a selfless act of love whether you realize it or not.”

“My heart broke a long time ago when I saw what love did to my father and it’s never been pieced back together.”

“Then the least you can do is let me try to prove you wrong.”

Liam looks at me intently as if he’s trying to find the strength to argue, but our connection is stronger than he’s ever wanted to admit, and he can’t deny it’s there. If we’re good at one thing, it’s pushing each other’s buttons, but he’s standing here, waving his white flag.

“I’m tired of fighting how I feel. Exhausted, actually,” he finally says, leaning closer until our foreheads touch. “I can’t promise you I’ll be any good at being in a relationship.” He pauses briefly. “But for the first time ever, I want to try.”

Happy tears fall as I wrap my hands around his neck. “I never thought in a million years I’d hear those words come from you, Liam Evans,” I taunt with a choked laugh.

Liam cups my face, and our lips crash into a desperate kiss, heat rising between my legs and every place we touch. His erection presses against me, and when I arch my back to meet his hard cock, he groans.

“Fuck, Maddie. Stop that.” He grins. “I said I’d give us a chance, but I didn’t say I had a lot of self-control. Especially when it comes to you.”

“And I’m testing to see what your threshold is,” I tease, then yelp when he smacks my ass.

“Well, unless you want your sister and Mason to hear us, you need to leave right now. Walk away before I rip off your clothes and eat your pussy against this door.” He steps back, putting space between us. When he adjusts himself and curses at how uncomfortable he is, I grin.

An unladylike groan releases from my throat as I desperately want him to do that. But in order to keep Liam’s secret, no one can find out about us. Everyone needs to believe he’s really madly in love with Victoria, hiswife, and as much as that thought makes me sick, I know it’s for our safety.

“Fine,” I hiss. “But just know my panties are soaking wet and now BOB will have to take care of me.”

He furrows his brows. “Excuse me? Bob?”

“So uncultured.” I snicker, shaking my head at him. “Battery-operated boyfriend. Geez.”

Liam’s brow arches with a grin. “You have a vibrator, huh? Well fuck, thinking of you playing with yourself is gonna keep me extra busy in the shower.”

“Oh yeah?” I reach out and pull him closer so I can brush my lips against his. “Then add nipple rings and a shaved pussy to your spank bank.”

He growls, tilting my chin up with a hard gaze. “Don’t fucking mess with me, Maddie. Not touching you is testing my willpower.”

“And I’m giving you permission to give in,” I whisper confidently. “Touch me and don’t stop.”

Two seconds pass before Liam grabs me, hauls me against the door, and latches his mouth to my neck. We grind against each other, and the friction of his erection rubbing against me has me breathing hard. I want to rip off our clothes and let him slide deep and hard inside me.

“Fuck it,” he mutters before setting me on my feet.

Before I can ask what he’s doing, he kneels in front of me, slides down my shorts and panties, and flattens his tongue along my slit.

“Oh my God…” My hands grab his head, my fingers curling in his hair as he expertly flicks my clit and sucks it between his lips.

Liam helps me step out of my clothes, then puts my leg over his shoulder, spreading me wider for him. Without hesitation, he puts his mouth back on me, and when my back arches off the door, Liam slides a finger inside.

“Holy shit,” I whisper-shout, my pussy tightening around him. He’s not rough and uses just enough force to make it feel fucking incredible.

“Hold your leg higher, baby. I know how flexible you are.” He winks.

Grabbing behind my knee, I do as he says and lift it above his head. When his tongue slides from my ass all the way to my clit, my eyes flutter closed at the intense sensation. He repeats it twice more before sinking deeper, finger fucking and sucking my clit simultaneously.

I’m not sure how much longer I can stand, and when I start shaking, he brings a hand up to assist me. The orgasm rocks through me so hard, I bite down on my lip to keep from screaming.
