Chapter 266 · My Hockey Roommate’s Filthy Desires

Chapter 266

ARIA'S POVMorning light trickled through the heavy drapes, painting the bedroom in warm, golden hues. I stirred lazily, my body weighed down by a heavy, delicious ache that throbbed gently between my thighs.Every muscle in my legs felt spent, a lingering reminder of the sheer intensity with which Brandon had claimed me throughout the night. We had barely slept, consuming each other until the first light of dawn washed over the horizon.Before my eyes could even open fully, a trail of warm, feather-light kisses brushed along the inner curve of my knee.A low, involuntary moan escaped my throat as Brandon’s lips tracked higher, his warm breath fanning against my sensitive skin. My hands instinctively reached for the bedsheets, clutching the silk as his fingers gently parted my legs wider."Brandon..." I rasped, my voice thick with sleep. A subtle hiss broke from my lips as the slick, warm heat of his tongue made contact with my core.I was still tender and slightly sore from our breathless hours together, but the sensation of him eating me out sent an immediate, sharp wave of pleasure straight to my chest.He moved with agonizing slowness, his tongue swirling around my clitoris with practiced precision, drinking me in as if he hadn't spent all night doing the exact same thing.He paused for a fraction of a second, his dark, heavy-lidded eyes lifting to meet mine through the dim morning light."Good morning, sweetheart," he murmured against my damp flesh, his voice a deep, vibrating rumble that resonated right through me.Without giving me a chance to answer, his head dipped back down. My hips lifted off the mattress of their own accord, my back arching as a helpless moan tore from my throat.The contrast of his rough stubble against my thighs and the relentless rhythm of his mouth pushed me straight over the edge.I writhed beneath him, my fingers tangling in his dark hair, pulling him closer as a blinding, shuddering orgasm washed over me, making my inner muscles pulse wildly.Before the ripples of my climax could even fade, Brandon dragged his body up over mine. Heavy, muscular, and completely unyielding, his chest pressed flush against mine.Without a moment's delay, he guided his thick shaft to my entrance and pushed firmly inside me. I hissed at the sudden, breathtaking intrusion, my body stretching to accommodate his full length once again.Smiling down at me with possessive warmth, Brandon leaned in and captured my lips in a deep, agonizingly slow kiss.The distinct, intoxicating taste of my own release lingered on his mouth, sending another fresh wave of heat pooling directly in my core.I moaned greedily into his mouth, wrapping my arms around his broad shoulders and pulling him down as far as he could go."God, Aria..." he growled into the kiss, his hips beginning a slow, deliberate rhythm that set every nerve ending on fire. He set a firm, steady pace, driving deep into my center while resting his weight on his forearms.“You are intoxicating. Look at you... taking all of me first thing in the morning.""Brandon," I whimpered, matching his thrusts, my soreness melting entirely under the fiery heat of his touch."I will never get enough of you," he murmured against my jaw, his hands sliding beneath my hips to lift me higher against him. "Never. You're stuck with me forever, Aria.""Good," I gasped, holding onto him tight as the world dissolved into the rhythmic, consuming heat of his touch once more. "Don't you dare stop.”The pleasure mounted with unbearable intensity as Brandon drove into me, his powerful body moving with a fierce, possessive rhythm that left me completely breathless.Every deep stroke tore soft, helpless whimpers from my lips, pushing me toward the edge once more until another intense, shuddering climax ripped through me."Not done with you yet, sweetheart," he growled thickly against my ear, his voice laced with an irresistible, dark command.Before I could even catch my breath, his large, calloused hands gripped my waist, easily flipping me over onto my stomach.The cool silk of the sheets hit my feverish skin as I pushed my face into the soft pillows, a loud, wanton moan escaping me when he lifted my hips high and thrust into me deep from behind.The angle was excruciatingly good, overwhelming and raw. The friction hit every sensitive nerve ending, driving me wild as the heavy headboard thumped steadily against the wall.His fingers dug into my hips, leaving faint red marks as he held me firmly in place, setting a fast, relentless pace that made my knees shake and my entire body tremble."Brandon... please," I cried out into the darkness of the mattress, my fingers clutching the sheets till my knuckles turned white.He didn't slow down. If anything, he drove deeper, his broad, heavy chest coming down to flatten against my back, his warm, ragged breath heavy against the nape of my neck as he pushed us both toward the brink.The sheer tide of sensation shattered me completely. A wave of blinding, electric release crashed over me so violently that my body convulsed, an intense gush of my own squirt soaking against the sheets as my muscles clamped down on him in wild, rhythmic spasms.A low, guttural roar tore from Brandon's chest as he buried himself to the hilt. He held me tightly against his rigid body as his own powerful climax hit him, pouring his release deep inside me as his chest heaved against my back.Afterward, he gently pulled me back, rolling us over so I was tucked against his broad chest. He wrapped his arms securely around my waist, pulling the heavy duvet over us as we lay tangled in the damp, ruined sheets, our chests rising and falling in unison.I leaned my head back into the hollow of his shoulder, letting out a long, thoroughly contented sigh. "I could wake up like this every single morning," I murmured softly, my skin still tingling from the aftermath.Brandon let out a low, rich laugh that vibrated pleasantly against my back. He turned his head, pressing a sweet, lingering kiss to the side of my neck, right over my fluttering pulse point. "I love you, Aria."A warm, genuine smile spread across my face. I turned within his tight embrace, shifting until I was looking directly up into his dark, softened eyes. "I love you too, Brandon."But as the sweet euphoria of our morning began to settle, the cold reality of everything we had endured over the past few days seeped back into my thoughts.The terrifying image of Amelia at the school, the shadow of the woman who had orchestrated it all... my smile slowly faded, replaced by a quiet, heavy stillness.Brandon picked up on the shift instantly. His sharp, dark eyes searched my face, his thumb gently tracing the line of my cheekbone. "What's wrong, my love?"I took a slow, steady breath, sitting up slightly and locking my eyes onto his with an unshakeable, fierce resolve."Leonie," I said, my voice dropping into a steady, dangerous tone that surprised even me. "She's done enough, Brandon. She tried to destroy our family and take my daughter away from me. I want to handle Leonie myself. No questions asked."I braced myself for his protective instincts to kick in—for him to tell me it was too dangerous, or that he would take care of his enemies his own way.But Brandon just lay there, looking up at me with a look of profound respect and quiet understanding washing over his strong features."I understand," he said softly, reaching up to gently tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. "And you have every right to. You are Amelia's mother, Aria. Leonie crossed a line that can never be forgiven, and she targeted your child. Whatever you need to finish this, it's yours."A soft, relieved smile touched my lips. Hearing him validate my strength without hesitation, without trying to shield me like a fragile glass doll meant more to me than he could ever know.Brandon tightened his grip on my hand, his tone turning unusually tender, almost apologetic. "I know I've been making decisions for you, Aria... I know I can be overbearing and ruthless when it comes to keeping you safe. I'm used to controlling everything around me. But I see how strong you are. I never want you to feel overwhelmed by me, or like I'm trying to smother you and fight your battles for you."I reached out, my palm cupping his strong jawline, feeling the light prickle of his morning stubble against my skin."I want to handle my battles, Brandon," I told him softly, looking deep into his dark, velvety eyes. "I need to know that I can stand on my own two feet when the world comes for my family. But... it makes all the difference in the world knowing that no matter what happens, you are always standing right beside me.”Brandon kept his gaze locked onto mine, his thumb absently tracing small circles over the skin of my wrist."How do you want to handle her, Aria?" he asked quietly, his voice dark and measured. "Whatever you want to do, I'll make it happen."I looked out the window for a fleeting second before meeting his eyes again, my decision absolute. "It's time Leonie left our lives for good. No more games, no more lurking in the shadows waiting to strike at our daughter. I want this closed today."Brandon gave a single, firm nod. He didn't try to talk me out of it or take over. He simply respected my boundaries.Later that afternoon, after spending a quiet few hours making sure Amelia was completely settled and playing happily with her drawing books, I stepped out of the estate.Anthony was already waiting by the front door, his sharp eyes scanning the driveway as he opened the rear door of the black sedan for me. Brandon had given him strict instructions to act as my shield, but to let me take the lead."We're heading to Julian's apartment, Anthony," I said, sliding into the leather back seat."Yes, Miss Aria," Anthony replied smoothly, closing the door and taking the driver's seat. The drive across town was quiet.When we finally pulled up to Julian's apartment complex, the flashing red and blue lights of two police cruisers were already reflecting off the glass facade of the building.Anna's full confession, the detailed testimony Brandon's team had extracted and handed over to the authorities, had already set the legal machinery into motion.The police were here to execute the warrants based on the kidnapping conspiracy and corporate espionage charges. Anthony walked half a step behind me as we rode the elevator up to the top floor.The hallway outside Julian’s suite was tense, with two uniformed officers standing near the door while a detective spoke into his radio. I stepped past them and stood directly in front of the door just as it swung open.Julian stood in the doorway, his hair disheveled, his clothes wrinkled, and dark circles heavy under his eyes. He looked like a man whose world was rapidly crumbling around him.But the moment his eyes landed on me, his entire frame went rigid with sheer shock."Aria?" he breathed, his voice rasping as he gripped the doorframe. He looked between me, the towering presence of Anthony behind me, and the police officers in the hallway. "What... what are you doing here?"I stood tall, keeping my face completely devoid of emotion, my eyes cold and steady as I looked past his shoulder into the apartment."I'm not here for you, Julian," I said, my voice dropping into a razor-sharp, quiet chill that cut right through his confusion. "I'm here for Leonie.”
