Status Updates From Because You're Mine (MINE, #1)

I love you, baby.” “I love you, too,” she whispered. Bracing myself above her, I kissed her lips softly, savoring the moment. I get to kiss her, f**k her, make sweet love to her, and cherish her for the rest of my life. My heart squeezed tight “You’re mine, Holden. Always. And I’m gonna love you forever,” she proclaimed. “Forever.” I vowed. “Because you’re mine.

Barrett wished me luck and insisted I call him anytime I needed anything, personal or professional. He said if I ever wanted to come back I would always have a place at McMillan and Shaw. I was so relieved. I respected Barrett immensely, and even when we had been screwing each other’s brains out I had still thought of him as my mentor.

Alexis Davis lying in my bed with her huge ti*s staring me right in the face was not doing me any favors right now. I may be in love with Maddie, and I would never, ever cheat on the woman I love, but I was still a man. Sometimes, matters of the heart cannot be explained to your d*ck.

I had given her the requested space, channel surfing for about 45 minutes now. She had plenty of time to mull things over. One way or another we were going to talk this shit out. To make sure she faced the situation head-on, I snuck into the bathroom while she showered, removing her bag and clothes. I knew it was dirty, but I did what I had to do.

Looking deep into her eyes, I surged harder. “You’re it, baby.” “Holden,” she breathed, her eyes glazing over with passion. “Stay,” I begged, still holding her eyes. I would beg, borrow, or steal to keep this woman beneath me. I no longer had any shame or pride where she was concerned.

My stomach churned at the thought of my complete lack of responsibility. I had never had unprotected sex before. Ever. And I’d never forgotten to take my pill. Holden’s kiss and those stupid V-things made it impossible for me to think past the moment. How could I be so stupid?

I was completely immersed in him. His mouth was addictive and fit perfectly with mine. I could spend hours kissing this man. With a final tug of my bottom lip, he ended the kiss. Then he whispered a kiss on my forehead before he walked away. What the hell?

Let’s get a few things straight. My name is Madison…not Maddie. And I’ve been driving a tractor since I was ten years old. I can do anything a man can do except piss standing up. But let me assure you, it wasn’t from lack of tryin’. Now, I don’t know who in the hell you think you are, but you damn sure don’t know me. So you can take your assumptions and shove ‘em up your ass.

Ew.
What the… Barrett had never kissed me on the mouth before. Never. Our relationship was strictly physical. Just sex. That was what we agreed on when this whole thing started. Yes, of course I knew sleeping with my boss was a bad idea.
