Confiscating Charlie (9 page)

Noah bent at the waist until the bare skin of his chest was flush against her back.

“
I love you, Charlie.
”

Underneath him, she froze. He thought she might have stopped breathing until she spoke.

“
I love you, too,
”
she whispered.

Noah put his hand on the back of her neck, moving her hair aside to kiss the soft skin next to her ear. He began to pump again in slow but powerful movements. Every time his balls slapped against her, she shuddered and repeated over and over again,
“
I love you, too.
”

Eventually he couldn
’
t contain himself any longer. Two more hard strokes, and he exploded deep inside her.

Charlie clamped down on him, beating the table with her bound hands.
“
Noah!
”
she cried as she came again.

He threw his head back and groaned as his cock jerked for the last time. His reserves gone, he collapsed, letting her take more of his weight. He reached up to cover her hand, tangling his fingers with hers as they both struggled to breathe in the aftermath.

He pressed his face against the back of her neck. The way she smelled was intoxicating. Everything about her was.

Charlie was his drug.

He could have stayed like that forever, but the strident ring of the doorbell pulled him out of his reverie. Annoyed at having his post-coital glow cut short, he shot the front door a dirty look.

The doorman should have buzzed him to let him know they had a visitor.

Reluctantly he pulled out and stood up, doing up the fastening of his pants as he went. He took his belt off Charlie and helped her up. She was limp in his arms, but her legs could support her
—
barely.

God, he loved her like this, flushed and rosy after a good fucking. Pressing a kiss to her lips, he pulled up her shorts and gave her a little push to the bedroom.

“
Go get dressed baby. I
’
ll see who this is.
”

Too tired to argue, she walked back to the bedroom while he walked to the front door to look through the peephole.

Shit
. It was his father.

Well, he
’
d known this confrontation was inevitable. He opened the door and let him inside.

Henry Masters
’
face was a cold, expressionless mask. Noah had always hated the way the old man iced over. You couldn
’
t even enjoy a good fight with him.

His father didn
’
t waste any time.
“
What the hell do you think you
’
re doing? Where is Charlie?
”

Noah scowled.
“
In the bedroom. And she
’
s fine. So am I. Thanks for asking.
”

His father rolled his eyes.
“
I get a frantic phone call from your stepmother telling me all about how you seduced her baby sister and took her out of our home and all you give me is sarcasm?
”

Noah frowned.
“
And exactly when did you get this phone call?
”

“
Last week. That
’
s not the point
—”

Noah cut him off.
“
It
’
s been
three
weeks since Charlie and I moved in together. Why did it take Darla two whole weeks to become so concerned about her sister? The one she left alone on her birthday and graduation day so she could shop, I might add.
”

Henry blinked. Clearly he hadn
’
t been expecting a counteroffensive.

“
I don
’
t know why it took her so long. The point is she
’
s upset.
”

And there was the rub. If his new stepmother was upset, his father was inconvenienced.

“
She
’
ll get over it. Charlie
’
s not going anywhere. This is our home now. It
’
s the perfect location in between my work and her college.
”

Henry wasn
’
t listening.
“
I still can
’
t believe you did this. You ripped that girl out of the only life she knew. Doesn
’
t she have school?
”

Unbelievable.
“
Weren
’
t you listening? Charlie already graduated from Dalton. She
’
s off to Columbia next. And she
’
ll be living here as she attends classes.
With me.
She loves me, so I suggest you go home and tell Darla that everything is fine. Her sister is being well taken care of
—
for a change.
”

Henry stared at him.
“
What did you say about work?
”

Noah looked down and shook his head. At least he couldn
’
t fault him for being inconsistent.
“
I got a job at Damov Industries. I
’
m going to be working on their next-gen hybrid engines.
”

His father
’
s head drew back.
“
Oh. That sounds like an excellent opportunity. Not as good as the one you would have working for me, but good enough. But this thing with Charlie is
…
it
’
s unacceptable.
”

“
I thought you wanted me to settle down. I believe your exact words were get a real job and date a
nice
girl
—
not a racing groupie.
”

“
I didn
’
t mean someone related to you.
”

He put his hands on his hips and stared his father down.
“
If I excluded all the woman in New York because you married a relative of theirs there would be no one left.
”

Henry rolled his eyes. He was going to say something else, but he stopped short.

Noah turned to see Charlie standing in front of the hallway leading to their bedroom. She had found another one of those delicious tank tops, with a bra this time, and she had pulled on jeans over her long golden legs.

She didn
’
t say anything, and instead simply raised a hand in an abbreviated wave hello. His father rubbed a hand over his face, not bothering to greet her.
“
This is going to blow up in your face,
”
he said cynically before leaning in.
“
Try not to get her knocked up.
”

Noah shook his head.
“
I make no promises. We want a big family.
”

Henry
’
s eyes and mouth widened in shock. Noah tried not to laugh.

Tired of having their privacy disrupted, he gestured to the door. His father blinked and scowled, but he headed for the exit. Noah opened the door, and his father walked out, twisting to face him once he was on the other side.

“
Do what you want, but try and not to fuck this up.
”

Noah rolled his eyes.
“
I could say the same thing about your relationship. In that respect, my track record is considerably better than yours,
”
he said evenly, before closing the door and staring at it for a moment while he regrouped.

“
We
want a big family?
”

He spun around to face Charlie. She didn
’
t look mad. Her expression was more like sympathy mixed with resigned amusement.

“
We do, don
’
t we? Eventually
…”

Charlie grinned and nodded.
“
Someday,
”
she agreed before the smile on her face faded into a rebuke.
“
But not before I finish college,
”
she said, pointing at him for emphasis.

Noah put his thumbs in his empty belt loops.
“
Someday,
”
he repeated.
“
But accidents happen. Just in case, you better finish early.
”

Charlie rolled her eyes to the heavens as if asking for patience. Taking advantage of her inattention, Noah rushed to her and threw her over his shoulder.

She squealed as he lifted her high in the air. He ran his hand over her ass.
“
I promise no babies for now, but that doesn
’
t mean we can
’
t practice making them right?
”
he asked as he headed for their bedroom.

Hanging over his shoulder, her hair streaming behind them, Charlie laughed.
“
What about dinner?
”

“
We
’
ll order in. I
’
m hungry for something else right now,
”
he said, giving her rear a proprietary spank.

She spanked him right back.

The End.
