Page 2 of Taking Adalisa (Montgomery Syndicate #2)

ADALISA

I suck in a breath as I look at him with, wide-eyed. Everything he said is completely true, but they with different men. All the same height, but they all looked different. That was all him?

Matthias looks at me with so much passion in his eyes, knocking the right out of my lungs. We stare into each other’s eyes for several seconds, getting lost in each other. I should be running and screaming for him to leave me alone and stay away from me, but I don’t.

“That is so sweet,” Kirra finally speaks, her voice soft and high pitch. “You can tell how in love you guys are with each other. I hope to find that with someone one day.”

“Aren’t you with the twins?” I ask, turning away from Matthias.

His hand rests around my waist, pulling me half off my chair and into his body.

“Do you guys mind if Adalisa sits on my lap?” Matthias asks before Kirra can respond.

“Go ahead!” Rye’s deep voice fills the bar. “If Monica were here, she would be sitting on my lap, but she had to work tonight and wanted me to meet some others.”

Before I can say anything, Matthias lifts me and places me on his lap. My eyes are wide as I stare at Kirra, who is sitting across from Matthias. I try to push myself off his lap, but his arm wraps around my waist, keeping me in place.

“Be a good girl and stay where Daddy put you,” he growls in my ear.

I lock up as he calls himself Daddy. I never thought I would find it hot to hear a guy call himself Daddy, but hearing him utter those words makes me melt in his body, my pussy begging to be touched by him.

Margery has a Daddy kink, she told me when she was drunk and made me promise I wouldn’t tell anyone else. I didn’t think I would like it, those words turned me off, but hearing Matthias say it in his deep voice changes that for me.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath, trying to calm myself. This is not the time or place to get turned on. Especially as I don’t know Matthias, and somehow he knows too much about me. I need to keep my head on a swivel and make it out of tonight alive like I promised Margery.

“Good girl,” he purrs, nipping at my ear.

Pleasure courses through my body, and I suck in a breath. Bad body for reacting to this , I scold myself. I need to get a grip on myself.

“You guys are just perfect for each other,” Kirra excitedly says. “You can see it written across both your faces. The love between you. Goals honestly. Super goals.”

If only they knew. Yes, I do feel a spark between us, the instant connection, but that could just be my pussy talking.

That girl has not been satisfied by a hunk of a man Matthias is in a long time.

She is begging me to take him home and let him have his way with us.

I grip his pants at the thought. I need to keep my mind off him and what I want him to do to me.

It cannot go there, not unless I want to lose myself and never feel the same again.

Because I know once I have sex with Matthias, no one else is going to compare to him.

Nothing.

“What’s my baby thinking?” he growls. “Are you thinking about all the things I’m going to do to you when we leave?”

I shake my head, not trusting my voice.

“I don’t like lies, Little Bit,” He tightens his arm around me.

“Don’t they just look so perfect together?” Kirra asks.

“You can stop talking about them like they aren’t here,” Morgan chuckles. “Though, I don’t think they’ve heard a word we’ve said. They look like they’re in their own world.”

“Sorry guys,” I apologize, shrugging. “Matthias didn’t want to come tonight, but I made him. While he is on board with this, he doesn’t want a lot of people to know. He gets very shy.”

“You’ll pay for that.” His teeth graze my ear again.

I squirm in his lap, knowing full well I will pay for it. But maybe there is a way I can get out of it. As long as he doesn’t come home with me, I’m okay.

“How did you learn about somnophilia?” Rye asks. “My wife discovered it in a book a couple of years ago. Kept reading about it. About a year ago, she finally told me about it. We’ve hang out at different munches in the area to be around like-minded people.”

“Yeah, Adalisa, how did you learn about it?” Matthias asks, putting me on the spot.

Everyone’s eyes turn to me, and I suck in a breath, hating every second of their attention. I thought I would stay in the background tonight, talk to a couple of people, but not be the main attraction.

I was so wrong.

“I found out about it in books, too. Whenever I have free time at the store, I read. Someone recommended a book, and I felt connected to it somehow,” I explain, leaving out that I’ve never actually done it before.

I know I may end up hating it if I ever experience it, but somehow I don’t think I will. It’s a deep longing I have but that could also be my pussy talking, begging me to find someone to take care of her.

“You will love my wife.” Rye smiles. “You’ll have to let me know where you work so I can tell her. Maybe she can visit you there and then spend all my money.”

“You love it when she spends your money.” Kirra rolls her eyes. “Don’t even pretend. You encourage her to.”

“Guilty, but I have to make it look like I care every once in a while,” Rye chuckles.

I stay silent, letting them take control of the conversation. Maybe Rye will forget he asked me at the end of the night, so I won’t have to let him know.

“I found out from one of the twins,” Morgan explains. “Never even heard of it before him; I’m glad I took the chance on it. Best thing ever. I have is a bracelet to show him if I’m okay with it that night or not. Which, honestly, is almost every single night.”

“It can be weird waking up in the middle of the night to sex noises. We’ve invested in soundproofing in every room since we discovered it,” Kirra grimaces. “I don’t mind the noises, but then realizing that it’s my sister kind of freaks me out. She would agree.”

I giggle at the thought. I don’t have any siblings, but if I did, I wouldn’t want to hear any of them at it.

“Doing it now so that when we have kids, they won’t hear us and come running into the room asking what’s going on,” Morgan says. “Thinking about the future as well. Not trying to scar our children.”

How thin are their walls? They have to be really thin if they are already complaining about it. I can’t imagine having kids right now. Life is just starting for me, and while I want kids in the future, they are forever. I don’t think I’m ready to have them yet.

“When we built our house, we soundproofed every room,” Benji says. “Best decision we ever made. It costs extra, but it helps a lot down the line. Then you don’t have to be quiet when you have anyone else in the house. As long as you keep the doors and windows shut.”

“Hopefully, we won’t be in too much of a hurry and forget to close do that,” Kirra chuckles.

Matthias pats my thigh, and I look back at him. “Yes?”

“Time to go,” he says, leaving no room for arguments.

Matthias helps me stand, and everyone looks at us. I lean back into him, not liking the attention on us once again. It’s like Matthias is a magnet to having everyone’s focus on him. Does he ever get tired of it?

“We are sadly going to have to go home. Tomorrow is a busy day for us, and while we’re having fun, I need to get Little bit into bed.” Matthias wraps his arm around me.

“Did you just hear what he called her? Little bit. Why can’t Dale call me that?” Kirra whines. “It’s so sweet and so disgusting at the same time.”

I tense up at her words.

“She doesn’t mean anything bad by it,” Morgan quickly says. “She hates pet names, but she also loves them. Her ex-boyfriend used to call her a pet name, one she didn’t like, and kind of ruined them for her.”

“You don’t have to tell everyone about that,” Kirra huffs out.

“Then maybe you shouldn’t say it’s sweet and disgusting in the same sentence,” Morgan shoots back. “Then maybe I won’t have to explain why you are insulting them.”

Kirra rolls her eyes, and Matthias pulls me into his side.

“Please, come again. We’ll have another munch next month. We would love to see you.” Benji stands and shakes Matthias’ hand. “Hopefully you guys will be able to stay longer and mingle. Next time we’ll have more of the regulars here, so you can meet other people.”

“Thank you,” I whisper as Matthias pulls me toward the door.

As soon as we get outside, I yank my hand from his and glare, not caring if anyone sees us through the window. They shouldn’t be able to hear anything from inside.

“Who are you?” I ask, taking a step back from him.

“Matthias,” he replies.

“How do you know who I am?” I fold my arms over my chest and stand with my shoulders square.

It’s so hard to be mad at him when he is so sexy, looking at me like he wants to devour me. I can’t think about that, not if I want answers.

Matthias doesn’t answer my question but takes a step forward instead. My heart rate picks up as I retreat, not wanting him any closer than he already is. This is dangerous. I can’t think clearly when he is so close to me.

“Adalisa LeAnn Johnson,” he whispers, his face inches from mine.

My mouth falls open, my eyes going wide as I stare at him. “Wh-what?” I whisper. “How d-do you know my full name?”

He smiles. “I know a lot about you.”

Palms sweating, I look around us to find a means of escape, but everything is on the other side of him. Unless I turn around and make a run for it, but I have a feeling he’s going to catch me quickly.

“Don’t even think about it,” he takes another step toward me. “You run and I’ll chase you.”

“N-no.” I don’t believe him at all.

“Oh, Little bit. You run, and I’ll definitely chase you. I love a good chase,” he purrs. “Turns me on and makes me rock hard. If you want to test it out, turn and run. I dare you.”

Everything in me wants to see if he’s telling the truth, but I stop myself.
