The Sweet Addiction Series Collection: Sweet Addiction, Sweet Possession & Sweet Obsession (113 page)

BROOKE

I open my eyes as I stretch, searching the room for a clock.

I don’t remember falling asleep, and I have no idea how long I’ve been out, but I know it’s late. The curtains amplifying the darkness behind them, casting a heavy shadow over one side of the room. The other lightly illuminated by a lamp on the dresser.

I look over at Mason sleeping beside me.

He’s lying on his back, one arm tucked beneath the pillow under his head, the other relaxed across his stomach, his face turned away. My eyes linger on the lines of his body. The slope of his neck. The smooth swell of his muscles, his trim waist, and the bulge of his cock against the satin sheet.

Mercy.
I’m sharing the bed with an Adonis.
Again . . . how is this guy even real?

My thighs pinch together. An ache gathers there. It’s nearly painful. I can’t remember how many times Mason and I have fucked tonight. I lost count after he bent me over the kitchen table and spanked me until I came.

My cheeks burn as the memory of his desperate voice fills my ears.

“Oh . . . fuck, Brooke. Fuck! Your pussy . . . ah, God. I need to come. Baby . . . Baby.”

A shiver runs down my spine.

Damn, I love him like that. Wild for me. Fucking like a man depraved, and still giving me those tender moments in between where he kisses my cheek and whispers across my skin.

“You are loved, Brooke Wicks. My adoration for you is endless.”

I smile against my fingers.

I want to absorb him, every flavor of Mason. His sweetness and his ferocity. The gentle planes and sharp, savage angles of his passion.

Why did it take me this long to choose him? To be okay with this? I’m so happy I could burst.

Sliding out from underneath the covers, I pad around to the other side of the bed and grab my jeans, tugging my phone out of my pocket. I note the time.

Eleven-forty-two
P.M. .

I flatten a hand to my stomach. Geez. No wonder I’m starving. I skipped dinner. The only thing I’ve had since lunch is a banana fosters cupcake and some tequila.

Grabbing Mason’s shirt off the chair on my way across the room, I slide my arms through the soft cotton and slip it over my head. The hem reaches my thighs. It smells like detergent and a faint hint of cologne. I bury my face in the collar.

Yummy
.

I step into the bathroom to relieve myself and wash my hands. I gape at my reflection.

Jesus.
Did we fuck in the middle of a tornado?

My hair looks atrocious. Matted and sticking out every which way. Some pieces still damp with sweat.

I tame the long strands with my fingers and gather them over one shoulder into a braid, securing the end with the elastic band around my wrist. I rub underneath my eyes to remove the smudges of makeup and pinch my cheeks.

There. Major improvement.

When I open the door and step back out into the loft, Mason is awake, lying on his side facing the kitchen, his weight braced on his elbow and the sheet gathered around his waist.

A plate of food sits on the bed in front of him. Grapes and cheese, by the looks of it. Maybe some raisins.

He pops a piece of fruit into his mouth and sucks on his finger. “Nice shirt,” he says, smiling.

I tug on the hem. “Yeah, you know. If we’re doing this whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing, I’m allowed full access to your wardrobe. Don’t be surprised if several comfortable pieces go missing.”

“If?” He tilts his head. “You love me, and there’s still an if?”

The peaceful look on his face doesn’t mask the restlessness in his voice. The tension crusting his words. I hear it. He worries I’m still unsure, or maybe that I’m slowly backing off and changing my mind, but I’m not.

And I hate that his brain automatically goes to that place.

“No. No if’s. We’re doing it.” I move across the room and climb onto the bed, kneeling beside him. I snag a grape off the plate. “Don’t tell Joey because he’ll never shut up about it, but he was right.” I shrug. “I want to keep you.”

The biggest, most contented smile pulls across Mason’s face.

I laugh around my grape.

God, he’s adorable.

“Say that again.”

I lean forward and kiss his mouth. “I want to keep you.”

“Mm.”

“And I really,
really
want to suck your massive cock.”

He moans, sliding his hand to my neck. “
Jesus
. You just got me real fucking hard, Brooke.”

“But, I want to eat first.”

I jerk away, smiling at the look on Mason’s face. The heaviness in his eyes and the slack in his jaw.

I pop a cube of cheese into my mouth and gesture at his crotch. “Let me know if things become painful for you. I can eat fast when motivated.”

He presses a hand against the sheet. “Fuck. My balls. What’s wrong with you?”

Throwing my head back, I laugh and then squeak when he squeezes my side. “Oh, my God. Do you hate me? I’m sorry. I’m just so hungry right now. Here.” I feed him a grape. He begrudgingly takes it. “Eat up. Your balls will be fine.”

Grabbing my wrist, he presses a kiss to my palm. “Let’s hope.”

We eat the food he’s set out for us, pulling another bunch of grapes out of the fridge when we run out. Mason laughs when I make a pile for myself on the plate, stealing all the cheddar cubes and leaving him with the remaining raisins.

“I don’t eat those,” I tell him. “Unless they’re covered in chocolate.”

“Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?”

I struggle to contain my amusement. “Oh, God. You were that kid at the birthday parties who hovered over the veggie tray, weren’t you? Trying to get your little mates to eat carrots instead of chips and cookies. Bless you. Were you bullied, sweet boy?”

He pulls me against him and tickles my side until my eyes water and I cry out for mercy. He kisses my cheek and steals a cheese cube, grinning.

I grab a water for us to share and return to the bed.

“So, that class tonight. Have you taught something like that before?” I ask, washing down my grape.

“No, but I’ve wanted to. My sister, Ellie has Down Syndrome. She’s the reason I got started in yoga.”

I lower the bottle to my lap, searching my memory for the information Mason’s already given me on his family.

Seven sisters. Mason being the baby of the group.

I know he’s mentioned Ellie. I remember her name, but he’s never told me much more than the fact that he’s close with her.

“I’ve never met anyone . . .” I pause, considering my wording. “With that before. How is she?” I shake my head, my hand covering half my face.

Christ, she isn’t sick, Brooke.

“Sorry. I don’t know a lot about that.”

His face softens with a gentle smile. “She’s good. Really good. She lives close to my parents’ house with a few roommates. That way she has her support, but also her independence. It’s good for her. My mum drove her a little nuts, I think.”

“Mums can do that,” I chuckle, offering him the water after he sets the empty plate on the night stand. “How did Ellie get you interested in yoga? Does she do it too?”

“She did. Once.” He takes a sip of the water, making a face. “Not really her thing. But, when she wanted to try it out, I gave her a lift to the studio. She didn’t have her license.”

“That was your first class too?”

“I just watched. It was for people with disabilities. But I signed up for my own class the next day.”

“How old were you?”

“Eighteen.”

I smile, thinking about a younger version of the man I’m staring at. A sweet boy helping his sister, and in the process, discovering a passion that would lead to a career.

I imagine Mason’s face as he takes on the role of spectator, watching a class like the ones he teaches from a perch on the wall. His blue eyes magnetic, engrossed in the movement and discipline of the instructor. Soaking it all in and connecting with it.

“I think it’s really great, what you did. Amazing, actually.” I kiss his jaw and fall back onto the bed, my head hitting the pillow. “Does Ellie like cupcakes? Or does she eat like a caveman too?”

He smiles, capping the water and tossing it. “She loves cupcakes.”

“Mm.”

Maybe if we ever visit Australia together, I can make her some.

“So, speaking of sisters, Juls is having me over for dinner Friday night. Do you want to go with me? It could be our official coming out as a couple debut, or whatever. If you’re busy, that’s okay. It isn’t a big deal or anything. It’s just dinner.”

I stare at my fingers as they twist together on my stomach.

Wa
y to play down your looming sadness, Brooke.

Geez. Why do I already feel disappointed? As if the possibility of Mason having other plans that don’t involve me is too depressing to even consider. We don’t have to spend every weekend together. He’s allowed to have a life without me. Visit his own family without me . . .

Or, he could opt for
not
having a life without me and that would be terrific too.

Mason rolls over, kneeling between my legs, his large hands pushing up my shirt,
his
shirt, and stroking my torso.

“Brooke, do you have any idea how desperate I was to know you? To spend time together when this all started between us? That hasn’t changed. I’m quite obsessed with you, if you haven’t noticed. I want anything you’re willing to give me, especially if it’s something you’re asking me to take.” He squeezes my hips and rubs my thighs. He bends to kiss my stomach. “I’m yours. My body, my soul. All of my time is yours.”

I slide my fingers through his hair. “Okay,” I quietly reply, my heart beating so loudly I barely hear my own voice.

“And anything involving you is a big deal to me.” He looks up, a playful smirk lifting one side of his mouth. “You were worried I’d be busy?”

I shake my head, fighting a smile. “Maybe.”

“You think too much, Brooke. You make yourself nervous and unsure when you don’t need to be.” He kisses my rib. “Ask me again while you’re sucking my dick.”

“What?” I laugh, watching him push back onto his knees.
Ask him again?
“You already said yes.”

“Pretend I didn’t. You won’t be so worried about my answer if you’re focused on making me come.” He fists his shaft. “Plus, I just really want you to suck me. Ever since you put that image in my head about fucking your pretty little mouth.” He moans, pulling on his cock. His eyes burning down my body and lingering between my legs. “Come on, sweetheart. Before I flip you over and take you on your knees.”

I inhale sharply.

Shit. To stall or to act. Suck him off or be fucked.

Both options seem equally compelling, but the longer I stare at Mason stroking his cock, the easier my decision becomes.

“Lie down. You’re going to want to be on your back for this.” I sit up and strip off my shirt, tossing it off the bed.

Mason slides his hand possessively over my breasts as we switch positions. He settles on his back, feet crossed at the ankles, his arms tucked beneath his head, and his cock lying heavy on his stomach.

I fist him at the base, spreading his legs wide with my knees. “How do you like it? Rough? A little teeth? Do you like your balls played with?” I take him into my mouth as much as I can. I cup his balls and fondle them.

If he doesn’t like it, he will by the end of this.

“Fuck,” Mason hisses through a groan, his body tensing.

He runs his hand along my cheek, pressing his thumb to the corner of my mouth and sliding it inside, feeling his cock against my tongue. His lips part.

I lick the underside of his shaft, swirling my tongue around the head and wetting him fully. I slide my hand up and down his glistening cock as I lap at his balls.

“Ah . . . God, Brooke.”

“Mm,” I moan, taking him into my mouth again and sucking vigorously.

He hits the back of my throat, again and again, cursing with his hands fisting my hair. Tugging gently.

I suckle at the head and smear a drop of precum on my lips, slowly licking it off.

His thighs jump. His chest rising and falling swiftly. I look up into his eyes and gasp around his length. He looks wracked. His eyes are electric, round with shock. The blue irises swelling and blackening with desire.

He told me his body was mine and this is what he meant. I own him right now. He isn’t fighting his pleasure. He isn’t holding back his reaction to me and what I’m doing to him. I ask Mason what he likes and he curses while staring, mesmerized, marveling in the wet seal of my flesh with his.

He’s giving me this. Trusting me with this part of him. With every part. Knowing I’ll care and adore him in the way he deserves, or at least hoping I will.

I will. God, I will. I want him overwhelmed. As far gone as he makes me feel. And I won’t stop until I get him there.

I gently press my teeth into his length. He thrusts off the mattress.

“Fuck!”

“You like that?” I teasingly ask, wrapping my hand around his cock and slapping it against my tongue. “What about this?” I lean over his body and rub his slick head over my nipple. The hardened peak shimmers with saliva. The soft skin between my legs grows wet. My breath catches. “Oh, God, Mason, do you like this?”

He fists my hair and growls. “Baby.”

“It’s okay. It’s okay,” I whisper, kissing his shaft. Licking it. “You want to come? I know you do. Let’s see what we can do about that.”

I drop back down and swallow him, raking my nails up his stomach to his ribs while I bob my head. I work fast, then faster, sucking hard and taking him deep. His thick member swells in my mouth, hitting the back of my throat. I gasp when he tugs my hair and smile when his hips begin jerking in tiny movements off the bed.

“Brooke,” he groans, thrusting more boldly now. His cock fucking my mouth in earnest.

I reach between my legs and brush my clit. My quiet moans don’t go undetected.

“Fuck, yeah. God, do it, baby. Look at you. Rub that pretty little pussy for me.”

Mason’s filthy mouth, the throbbing of his cock against my tongue, and the hoarse way he says my name gets me there in record time. My desire drips down my hand. Releasing his shaft with my other, I stroke over his balls and press my finger against the smooth skin just below.
