Forty-One

Killian

A phone buzzing wakes me up.

I turn around and unwrap my arms from Reign to grab my phone.

Ten missed calls on my phone from my dad make me groan.

I turn back to Reign and see her still sleeping.

She’s naked underneath the covers so her bare shoulders are on display.

I press a soft kiss on her shoulder. “I’ll be back,” I whisper, and Reign just groans but I know she probably doesn’t hear me.

I get out of the bed and throw on my briefs. I grab my phone and leave the bedroom going to the main seating area of the plane.

I press my dad’s contact name and hold the phone to my ear. “Killian,” my dad says.

I stay quiet for a few seconds, preparing myself for the fucking headache that’s about to come.

“Yea,” I mumble.

“I’m going to fucking throw you in the nearest pit of fire I can find and then bring you back to life just so I can do it all over again.”

So, before I left, I decided to trash his office.

I burned a hole in his floor.

So now he has a fire stain in the middle of his office.

Think of it as a big fuck you to him for trying to tell me what to do.

“Let’s see if you can try and find me. It’ll be a fun little game,” I deadpan.

“You’re not a goddamn child, Killian. Stop running away and come home. You’re stressing your mom out and she doesn’t need this.”

My jaw clenches. “Don’t fucking talk about her.”

“She’s my wife, last time I checked. If you’re fucking stressing her out, I’ll do everything in my power to make it stop. I can’t lose your mom and you know that, so come home.”

I already talked to my mom before I left.

I had to see her once because I didn’t know how long I’d be gone for.

I told her I was going to be gone for a while, but I’ll come back.

She asked me if it was about a girl, specifically the girl I was watching over during the mission.

I didn’t answer.

I just left that question hanging in the air because she knows.

She told me, a mom always knows.

She let me leave and told me to stay safe and not to be stupid.

I promised I would call her while I was away.

I know I have to be back home in about a month or so because there is the gala, so I have no choice but to be present for that.

“I’m not coming home. I’ll be back before the gala but don’t expect me anytime soon.”

“Killian, why are you doing this? It’s just a girl. Malcolm's daughter out of all people. You could find so many other women. Why waste your time on her? You don’t have much time-”

“Because I want to. Insult her again and I’ll burn your office to the ground. I’ll personally make sure to become boss and I’ll fucking burn everything to the ground. Your entire empire, everything. Don’t test me and don’t ever fucking disrespect her like that again.”

“This isn’t how you do things.”

“What did you do when you fell in love with the enemy?” I ask him.

He stays silent before sighing and saying, “I didn’t care.”

“Exactly. Ask me if I fucking care,” I say before hanging up and throwing the phone on the table. A door opens making my attention shift. Reign comes out of the room with the blanket around her shoulders, covering her all the way up to her chin. My eyes darken, realizing that she’s completely bare underneath the blanket. I don’t want to risk anyone seeing her like that. Only one allowed to see her like that is me. I stand up making Reign stop in her tracks. “Turn around and go back in the room.”

She furrows her eyebrows at me innocently.

Seriously not seeing the problem.

“Why?”

I walk up to her and turn her around, so she faces the bedroom door. I lean down, my lips brush against her ear. “Because I don’t want anyone to see what belongs to me.”

I move my hand underneath the blanket and grab her bare breast, I pinch her nipple making her whimper and lean against me.

I walk us inside the room and close the door behind me, locking it.

I throw her on the bed and hold myself above her.

I press my lips against her and Reign shivers against me. She lets go of the blanket and it slowly falls off her chest, making her nipples graze my chest.

My hand trails up her stomach and she inhales and breathes heavily in my mouth. I pinch her nipple again and twist it before massaging her boob.

“You’re distracting me because something happened,” Reign says against my lips, and I hate how much she knows me already after such little time.

I take my lips off her and trail my kisses down her chest. “It’s nothing you need to worry about.”

“But I want to worry about it,” she says before whimpering when I blow on her nipple. I take her breast in my mouth and Reign gasps.

I nibble on the nipple before licking it and pressing soft kisses around her breast before moving to the next one.

“You don’t need to. My dad was just being difficult,” I say before taking her entire breast in my mouth and sucking on it. Fuck I love how perfect her breasts are for me. Reign falls towards the edge as I pay good attention to her breasts, struggling to remember what we’re even talking about. “I bet I can make you come just from playing with these pretty nipples,” I say before biting one of her nipples.

“Stop,” Reign says, pushing me off of her. I don’t move, instead I lay on top of her and rest my head on her chest. “Tell me what happened,” she begs but her eyes are glossy from lust, and I already know she’s clenching her thighs together.

I shrug. “My dad’s just being difficult. He wants me home but I’m not going. I want to be here with you.”

“But won’t there be retaliation for you not obeying him?” Reign asks, playing with the strands of my hair.

I nod my head. “Yea but I don’t care, as long as I have you.”

Reign smiles softly at me before pressing her lips against mine.

For a little while, things will be okay.

But I know eventually the end is near.

It’s coming.

I can feel it.
