Page 39 of Wilde About You

A huge sigh of relief ushered out of me as I made it to the front steps. I made a beeline for the pedestrian gate and was halfway across the front courtyard when Dad's angry tone bit at my back. "Sadie Ann Rivers, get your ass back in here! Where are you going? I need that photo."

I paused and turned back. "It's on your desk," I said.

"Oh, all right. I'm going to check on that right now. Get back in here." Without waiting to see if I followed his command, he turned and went inside. I'd been given a reprieve. He hadn't seen the puffin picture yet, but when he did, something told me the roof was going to lift off the house.

My feet pounded the paved driveway. I got going so fast on the downhill I had to slow my momentum or risk slamming into the gate. I all but hurled myself out of the yard. Colin's truck was parked a block away under a large tree. I reached the passenger side in seconds.

I tossed my stuff in the back and climbed in. "Go! Shit is about to hit the fan, and I don't want to get caught in the spray."

Colin didn't ask questions. He started the truck, swung it around and sped away from the estate. I rested back and took a few decent gulps of air. "I'm getting too old for this shit," I muttered, then a laugh blasted from my mouth. "I would not want to be a fly in that room when he sees that I left him a picture of a bird."

Colin wore a proud grin as he looked over at me. "I think you're going to fit in the Wilde family just fine."

Iwould need to move my shit to storage. Dad had become an easy-chair shopper in his old age, and the cabin was already cluttered with his crap. I just needed my clothes and a few essentials, which I packed up quickly. I didn't need to spend any extra time in the apartment, reminding me of what I had and what I'd lost, all in a short span of time. On the other hand, Sadie had other plans.

I finished cleaning out my bathroom stuff and walked into the bedroom. Sadie was stretched out naked on my bed. "Feeling like we should give this bedroom one last go," she said. "What do you think?"

"Fuuck," I muttered. My shoes and pants were off before I reached the bed. I hopped on the bed hard enough that she bounced off the mattress. She laughed as I pulled her into my arms. Our mouths pressed together hungrily, and my hands explored every inch of her smooth, naked body. "You are a fucking treasure, Sadie A—" I stopped and shortened it to Sadie.

Her fingers wrapped around my cock, and she wriggled out of my arms and down toward the end of the bed. "Sit back, cowboy. I've got a treat for you," she said with a flirtatious wink.

I leaned back on the bed and sucked in a short breath as she moved her mouth to hover over my cock. She blew on it, making the tip cool from the precum that had already accumulated there. Her big blue eyes peered up at me as she opened her mouth wide. Her small hand stroked me up and down. I sucked in another breath as her lush lips closed around me. Her tongue flicked against the tip of my cock, then she took in more of me.

"Oh baby, that is fucking sweet." I lifted my hips so I could go deeper. She tightened her mouth and pulled back to the tip. Her teeth teased me before she came down over me again.

"I could stay in your mouth all day, baby, but I want to fuck you … now." I reached for her. She slowly suckled my cock for a few more seconds. I had to will myself not to come.

I reached for her again and lifted her up and onto the bed. I grabbed a condom and straddled her. She stretched her arms up and arched her back. Her tits lifted, and I brought my mouth down over one. She pushed it farther into my mouth as she let her thighs fall apart.

"Fuck me now, Wilde!" Her legs went around me with a viselike grip. My hand swept under her ass to push her pussy higher. Her blue eyes closed, and her head pushed back into the pillow as my cock plunged into her.

"Holy shit!" She clutched my arms, grinding her nails into me. I pumped into her fast and hard, bringing us both to climax in seconds. We held each other until our pulses slowed, and the heat we'd generated around us began to cool.

We rolled to our sides. I smoothed my fingertips down the side of her soft face. She smiled at my touch and kissed my shoulder.

"See, now that's how you say goodbye to an apartment," she quipped. "Should we go?"

"Not sure. Do you think we said goodbye enough, or should we say it a few more times?"

She wrapped her arms and legs around me. "I could say yes, but I feel like doing it too often will start to make the gesture seem hollow, like saying I love you too many times."

I laughed. "You are so weird. I'm fucking nuts about you. See, no mention of love. Don't want it to sound hollow. Let's go." A heavy knock on the door made us both sit up straight.

I didn't hesitate. I pulled on my jeans and shirt and motioned for Sadie to stay in the room. I shut the door as I walked out. The knock came again, harder. Was it Ace or his dad or was it one of Gregor's thugs? Whoever it was, they sounded angry.

I opened the door ready to take on whoever was standing there. The adrenaline rushed back out of me when I found my pillowy apartment manager standing in the hallway. "Why are you leaving?"

"I thought you'd be pleased."

He waved his pudgy fist around in the air. "Now I've got to have the whole damn place cleaned and painted and new carpet. Don't expect to get your deposit back."

"Fuck that. There's nothing wrong with the carpet. You haven't even looked at the place, and you're already trying to keep my deposit. And all that other shit—that's your problem. It's your job. I'll be out of here in a few days." I shut the door in his face before he could rant more.
