12. Cade

My naughty angel has been talking to another man. A man I'm toying with killing despite their conversation being rather mundane. She's mine, and no one should get to talk to her except me.

I sit silently, letting the tension build between us. Her fear is palpable while she avoids my gaze, busying herself with menial tasks. Knowing I've gotten under her skin,I love having this effect on her.

After a few minutes of toying with her, I slide out of my booth and slowly approach the counter where she stands. Her eyes widen and she takes a few steps back, but I continue my advance. I back her into a corner step by step until she has nowhere to go. I place my hands on the counter on either side of her, caging her in.

"Where have you been hiding, baby?" I ask in a low voice, leaning so close to her I can smell that unique scent of strawberries and peppermint that's hers and hers alone.

She licks her bottom lip, perhaps out of nerves or because she's turned on. Either way, it draws my eyes to them.

"I've missed you so damn much, angel." Her breath quickens, making my cock impossibly hard. "Did you miss me, baby?"

She shakes her head rapidly, unable to form words.

I lean in close, inhaling her scent again. "No need to lie. I know you've been thinking about me ever since the carnival," I murmur.

She trembles against the counter, trapped between it. I brush a strand of hair from her face, and she flinches at my touch. "We've got an undeniable connection, you and I. Don't you feel it?"

"No, you're a fucking psycho."

Her declaration snaps my resolve, and I grab her throat with my hand and move my lips to within an inch of hers. "Is that right, baby?"

I press my lips to hers, unable to resist any longer. At first, she freezes, clearly shocked by my bold move. But as my mouth claims hers, she soon melts against me. Her body goes pliant and her lips part ever so slightly.

I take it as an invitation, sliding my tongue between her lips to deepen the kiss. She lets out a soft moan that sends desire coursing through my veins. Her hands come up to grasp at my shirt, pulling me closer. I wrap one arm around her waist, eliminating the space between us.

My other hand slides from her throat into her hair, tangling in her soft locks. I angle her head to kiss her more thoroughly, our tongues dancing together. She tastes even better than I imagined. I can't get enough, kissing her with unrestrained passion.

This is even better than all the times I imagined it. The reality of her supple lips molding to mine has me drunk on lust. I press her harder into the counter, feeling every curve of her body align with mine. Another moan escapes her, and I swallow it greedily.

I break the kiss only when the need for air becomes necessary, both of us panting. But I'm not done yet; I move my lips tomy angel'sneck, planting hot, open-mouth kisses onherskin.

My hard cock is pressed firmly against her stomach, and she can feel it as she arches into me.

I continue trailing kisses down Lily's neck, unable to get enough of her sweet scent and soft skin. She lets out soft whimpers and gasps that only spur me on, making me crave more of her.

"I've been dreaming about this, about having you all to myself," I whisper hotly against her neck. My hands grip her hips, pulling her tightly against me.

"No one else gets to see you like this, feel you, taste you." I accentuate each point with a nip or lick of her delicate skin. Lily trembles under my touch, caught between fear and desire.

"You're mine now. I'm going to take care of you, protect you." My hands slide under her shirt, caressing the silky skin of her lower back. I press a series of kisses along her jawline as she pants softly.

"Who will protect me from you?" She whimpers.

I smirk. "No one because you're mine, and I'm your sweetest fucking nightmare, baby." Moving my hands gently up her creamy, thick thighs, I part them and hitch up her skirt, groaning when I see how wet she is. The string of her thong is completely soaked. "I own these perfect, pretty little tits," I murmur, moving my lips to suck on her hard nipples visible through the fabric of her shirt.

Lily moans, back arching.

"I own this tight, perfect cunt," I groan, dragging a light finger through her wet folds.

"Oh God," she breathes.

"No God will save you, baby. I'm the only fucking God you will worship from this moment on. Got it?"

She nods, biting on her lip. "What's your name?"

I can't help but smirk because she's forgotten all about her fear. Now I've got her pinned against the counter, my hands and lips claiming every inch of her body.

"It's Cade, baby," I murmur against the sensitive skin of her neck. "But you can call me anything you want."

I slide one hand up her thigh again, brushing against the soaked fabric of her panties. She gasps, arching into my touch.

"Cade," she breathes, like she's testing how my name sounds on her lips.

Hearing her say it nearly makes me lose control right then and there. I crush my mouth to hers again, kissing her hungrily as my fingers tease along the edges of her panties. I'm desperate to feel her, to slide my fingers into that tight, wet heat and make her scream my name.

But I force myself to go slow, to drag it out. I wantherbegging for me.

I trail hot, open-mouthed kisses down to her chest, my tongue flicking out to tease her nipples through the thin fabric of her shirt. She's panting and writhing beneath me, hands tangled in my hair to keep me close.

"Please," she gasps, eyes glazed over with lust. She's forgotten all about being scared of me now. All she can focus on is the pleasure I'm giving her.

And I'm just getting started.

I kiss my way back to her ear, nipping at her sensitive skin. "Tell me what you want."

My fingers slide under her panties, barely grazing her slick, aching flesh. She shudders, trying to angle her hips so I'll touch her properly, but I keep teasing, drawing it out.

"Please," she whimpers again.

I nip at her earlobe. "Please, what, baby?"

I want to hear her say it, hear her beg for me to fuck her. To claim what's mine.

She trembles against me, mindless with need. "I don't know what I want. I have this ache..."

The uncertainty in her voice and the way she says that gives me pause. "Ache?"

She bites her bottom lip, something that makes my cock leak. "Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure what I want or need…" Her cheeks are so red right now.

It can't possibly be true. Is my angel a fucking innocent little virgin? If she is, I'm done for. Because that only makes me want her more, which I didn't believe possible.

"Are you telling me you're a virgin?"

I stare at her in disbelief as she nods shyly, a deep blush spreading across her cheeks.

"I... I've never..." she stammers, unable to meet my gaze.

A wave of possessiveness washes over me at this revelation. The thought that no other man has been inside her makes my cock throb almost painfully. She's untouched, innocent. Mine for the taking.

"Never?" I ask, needing to hear her say the words. I trail my fingers up her thigh again until I'm stroking over her soaked panties. She gasps, hips bucking reflexively.

"N-no," she whimpers. "I've never done anything other than kiss before."

Fuck. My fantasies of corrupting this sweet, innocent girl threaten to overwhelm me. I want nothing more than to pin her down and fuck her relentlessly until she's screaming my name.

But I need to take this slow. I can't scareheroff now.

"Don't worry, baby. I'll make your first time so good for you," I murmur. I capture her mouth in a searing kiss, swallowing her moan. My fingers slip under her panties again, finally making contact with soft, slick flesh.

Lily cries out into my mouth as I stroke over her sensitive clit. Her thighs tremble, and she clutches at my shoulders for support. I have to hold myself back from plunging my fingers inside her right then.

No, I need to savor this and draw it out until she's anticipating each of our moments together. Until she's in bed waiting and aching for me to break in and fuck her.

I rub tight circles around her clit as I kiss down her neck. "That's it, baby. I've got you."

She rocks her hips urgently against my hand, seeking more friction. Precious little whimpers and gasps spill from her kiss-swollen lips.

I'm drunk on having this effect on her. On being the first one to ever touch her like this. To awaken these desires inside her.

"Cade, please..." she pants. "I need..."

"I know what you need."I nip at her earlobe as my fingers pick up speed. "Let go, baby. Come for me."

I feel Lily's body start to tense and tremble against me as my fingers work her clit relentlessly. Her breath comes in short, frantic gasps, and her nails dig into my shoulders, telling me she's close.

"That's it, let go,"I urge her. I capture her mouth in a searing kiss, muffling her cry of pleasure as she finally crests that peak. Her clit throbbing while she grinds against my hand, drawing out every last ounce of sensation.

I'm fucking hard as a rock feeling her come undone like this. Knowing I'm the first to ever make her feel this kind of pleasure. She's panting and boneless in my arms as I slowly withdraw my fingers. I bring them to my lips, maintaining eye contact as I lick them clean with a groan.

The taste of her on my tongue makes me hungry for more. I'm leaning in to kiss her again when the front door bell jingling interrupts us. Lily's eyes widen with panic as she realizes we're no longer alone. She pushes at my chest in a rush, trying to disentangle herself from my embrace. I simply smirk, unwilling to let her go just yet.

"Hello there, welcome,"I call out casually to the newcomer, not bothering to turn and look. My focus stays locked on Lily's flushed face and kiss-swollen lips. God, she looks so fucking sexy right now.

I hear the patron make some confused murmur in response but pay them no mind. Lily is frantically smoothing her skirt and tugging her shirt back into place, mortified at nearly being caught in such a compromising position.

"Shhh, it's alright, angel,"I murmur, stroking her cheek. She avoids my heated gaze, embarrassment, and perhaps a tinge of shame darkening her cheeks further.

I lean in close to her ear. "I'll see you again real soon,"I promise before releasing her. She sags back against the counter, looking dazed as I stride away, throwing a wink over my shoulder.

My cock is still rock hard, but I adjust myself discreetly before slipping out into the street.

I light up a cigarette and take a long drag, eyes fixed on Lily through the window. She's busy cleaning the spotless counter, avoiding looking out the window. But I sense she can feel my stare burning into her. I lick my lips slowly, recalling her sweet taste.

Soon, I promise myself as I exhale a cloud of smoke. Next time, I won't stop until I'm buried deep insidemy angel. Until I've claimed every last inch of that untouched body. The thought makes me painfully hard. But I can be patient. Lily is well worth the wait.
