Matt’s POV

How could she just give up on me like that, on us! I shook my head in utter disbelief as I watched Dice turn her back and head toward the cab. I didn’t know it was possible, but I felt something inside me crumble into the pit of my stomach. Was that my heart breaking in a million pieces? I just couldn’t fucking believe it. I had planned for this moment for weeks and she just turned and walked away. Talk about a blow to my ego and the excitement of seeing her.

I sighed and hung my head, shaking it as I looked down at the ground. There was absolutely nothing I could do to change her mind—this was Dice for Pete sakes! My hands buried deep in my pockets and I slowly turned to head back into the bar. Maybe I could talk MJ into giving me the entire bottle of Patron because I knew I would need it numb the pain in my chest. Hell, it felt like Dice had pulled my heart out, threw it on the floor, and impaled it with those spiked heels she wore.

Just as I turned to look back over my shoulder, someone crashed into me and pushed my back against the brick wall with brut force. A pair of lips forcefully made their way to mine and I couldn’t help but gasp in surprise when I looked down to see that pink and red hair. What was she doing? Oh, fuck it; I didn’t care because this is right where I wanted her. I wrapped my arms around Dice’s tiny frame and kissed her back hungrily. Damn I missed the feeling of her on my lips, her taste, her passion—and that’s when it hit me—there was no turning back. I loved this girl.

“Come to the hotel with me…” Dice said in a breathless tone, her green beauties staring up at me. It was right then that I lost it and the widest smile came over my face.

Without another word, I scooped her up into my arms, in a passionate kiss and headed back toward the cab. I slid us both inside, not caring that her shoes and briefcase were somewhere underneath me. All I could do was kiss ever inch of that beautiful body and pray that she would stay.

“He-hem…Where to?” The cab driver said in an irritated tone, causing me to pull away from Dice’s lips for just a minute. You better make this fast body and turn your head the other way because there I no way I am waiting another second to do naughty things to this woman.

“The Garden Hilton,” Dice rasped out as my lips moved to her neck. I pulled her small frame onto my lap and she instantly straddled me. Her warm core pressed onto the raging mass in my pants as her hands moved through my hair. “What have you done to me?” she breathed, shaking her head.

I pulled away from her neck after leaving a trail of kisses, my eyes locking with hers. “What do you mean?” I asked her with a raised brow. My fingers moved to caress her soft cheeks.

Dice licked her lips and let out a light chuckle. “This…all of this,” she motioned around to nothing in particular. “This isn’t me but here I am, stuck with your handsome ass and I-I’m feeling things…” she hissed. “I’m not supposed to do this. I’m not programed this way—“

“Just shut up, Lucy,” I growled before smashing my lips into hers in a hungry and desperate kiss. Her pale hands pushed me back against the seat while our tongues fought for dominance. I couldn’t get enough of her. Dice was my drug of choice and I pulled her closer, feeling her core grind against my dick. Fuck, if we didn’t get to the hotel soon, I was going to fuck her right her in the cab and I was sure the drive wouldn’t appreciate it.

I was thankful when the cab pulled up to the hotel moments later. In one swift motion, I threw the driver two Benjamin’s and scooped Dice into my arms. Our lips didn’t part as we feverishly made out all the way to the elevator. I didn’t even care that people were snapping pictures and giving us dirty looks. In that moment, I didn’t care that I was famous or what this would look like to the public, I just wanted Dice and all of Dice.

“What floor?” I rasped against her lips as I maneuvered us into the tinny metal deathtrap. I couldn’t think straight because of all the pheromones flooding my brain form my drug of choice—Dice. I pressed her back into the wall as her thin legs wrapped around my waist, painfully pressing me against her warmth.

“Five…506,” her voice sounded like music to my ears and her hot breath in my ear made me lose my shit. As soon as the elevator started to move, I pressed the red stop button. I couldn’t wait to have her any longer. “Oh, God…” she moaned, my teeth sinking into her neck.

A few minutes later, we both had lost our shirts and pants and we clung to each other in just our underwear. The elevator was hot but the feeling of Dices’ skin against mine was even hotter. Her lips moved over my neck and shoulders as lifted her into the air and pressed her back against the wall, my dick teasing her entrance though those lace panties.

“Fuck, Matt…” she moaned as I gave that perfectly round ass a squeeze. Dice threw her head back and her hair cascaded down her fully exposed back, her lips parted just slightly in the most seductive way possible. “I need you…” Dice cried, gripping the handrails that were so conveniently under her ass and my hands. “Please,” she almost begged, her eyes rolling back in ecstasy while I rubbed my dick over her dripping wet folds. A wild growl escaped her lips when I pressed deep inside those oh-so tight walls with out warning.

“You are so fucking…tight…” I rasped, mercilessly slamming my full length into her as my lips captured hers again. The sexiest part was feeling her moan against my lips as her hips bucked back at me wildly as her nails dug into my flesh. If she kept that up, I would undoubtedly have some new artwork to show off.

Dice moved her hands down to the handrail, supporting her body as she thrust her pelvis forwards, burying me deeper inside her. “Fuck….Dice…”I rasped, as I moved faster and faster. I could feel her body reacting to my every move and I knew she was on the verge of release.

Seconds later, she threw her head back as a violent orgasm ripped through her body, her hands moving to clutch me for support. As Dice screamed my name, I released myself inside her, letting out my own bestial growl.

The next thing I knew, we had both collapsed to the floor in attempts to catch our breath. Hell, that right there was some of the best sex in my life and to make it even better that beautiful girl lay on top of me, holding onto me for dear life. “Fuck…that was…amazing…”I breathed, pushing strands of pink hair out of Dice’s face. She bit her lip and looked at me with something in her eyes that I had never seen before. “What?” I questioned, but she scoffed, rolled her eyes, and shook her head.

“Matthew fucking Sanders,” Dice chuckled. “Who would have thought, out of all people…” I furred my eyes at her in confusion as she pulled away and started to pull her clothing back on.

“So does that mean you’ll stay?” I asked, my eyes begging her as I pulled her back toward me by the hips. “You know if you up and disappear again, I will track down your crazy ass.”

“Like you did last time?” Was she laughing at me now? Well, that kind of hurt. And the only reason I didn’t chase after her before was because she thoroughly pissed me off. If it happened again, there was no way I was letting her get away. “But what about blondie?” she suddenly snapped, her green eyes turning on me with what appeared to be anger. “Aren’t you madly in love with her?”

My brow furred as I gaped at her. I had totally forgotten about Val until this minute, but in all honesty, we weren’t working. Sure I loved her, but not the way that I loved the hot tamale in front of me. Red was in my heart and there was no getting her out. “It’s not working out with her…we all but broke up tonight,” I sighed, running my hands over my after buttoning my pants. I carefully reached out and put my hands on Dice’s hips, pulling her towards me. “And over your beautiful Mustang that is sitting in my driveway.”

Dice narrowed her eyes at me and hit the start button on the elevator. “So it’s over with her?” Did this mean she was going to stay?

“Yes…are you going to stay?” I breathed, wrapping my arms around her. “Please, Dice…I need you and god knows Blondie and Jimmy need you. You should see the fucking project he’s got her working on,” I chuckled. Though, I had to admit that it was pretty fucking epic. There was no doubt that the fans would love it. Hell, I loved it even though I told Jimmy it was a crazy idea. “What do you say? Stay with me? For us?”

A small smirk fell over Dice’s lips as the doors opened. She grabbed my hand and dragged me down the hall but I stopped her right before she put in the card key. I pressed her against the wall, those green eyes in the most mischievous way possible.

“Come on, Dice, stop playing this game,” my eyes pleaded down at her. “Please stay with me?” She let out a long sigh and wrapped her arms around my neck; her lips inches from mine again. I couldn’t help but smile at how beautiful she looked in this moment. “What do you say?” I ran my fingers over her cheek, a dimpled smile playing on my lips. “Will you stay and make me the happiest son of a bitch alive?”

Dice rolled her eyes and gave me a pointed look, though I could see happiness hiding in her eyes. It was true what people said about the eyes—they were windows to the soul. I could see everything in those beautiful greens—the love, the fear, the pain—everything. Just that view made me love her even more because I got a glimpse at the person she had been trying to hide all these years.

“I’ll consider it,” Dice finally breathed with a small smile, her eyes never leaving mine. “But you owe me?”

“I what?” I gaped as she pulled away and unlocked the door. “What could I possibly—“

“Just shut up and get in here before I change my mind and fuck you right in the middle of the hallway,” she snapped in a playful way, grabbing my hand yanking me into the room. Oh, was I in for one amazing night.

MJ’s POV

“You know how beautiful you are,” Brian slurred, running his fingers down my cheek as I drove us both home. I warned him about that extra glass of scotch but he never listened to me. Well, at least he was just running on really good buzz, which was more that I could say for the yahoo’s in the back. Jimmy was passed out on top of both Zacky and Johnny and I couldn’t help but laugh every time I had to look into the rearview mirror. I love those guys and they were really a part of my family now.

I graced Brain with a glance as I stopped at the light by Jimmy’s house and he just stared at me with a goofy smile on his lips. “What are you smiling about?” I giggled, feeling a blush coming over my face. It was amazing that still the simplest things he did could make my face turn into a forest fire. Brian walked his fingers down my exposed tattooed arms and all the way down to my inner thigh. Oh, right, that is his drunken ‘I want some’ look.

“Just can’t believe all this happened,” he sighed, rubbing up and down my thigh while his other hand went behind his head. “It’s fucking amazing…”

I looked at him out of the corner of my eye right before I pulled into Jimmy’s driveway. “What are you talking about?” I was amused, as I looked over the gorgeous tipsy man next me, his fingers moving under the hem of my shorts. He always had the most interesting things to say with a little bit of alcohol in his system. Hell, I would even daresay it brought out his inner child and made him more like Jimmy. It made sense why they were best friends now.

“You, Baby Doll,” he smiled, poking the tip of my nose before pulling me in for a kiss.

“Couldn’t you guys wait until we’re out of the car,” Zacky groaned behind us, causing me to blush, pull away from Brain, and bite my lower lip. “God, I’ve seen you two mack enough in the past few hours to last a lifetime…get a fucking room.”

“Oh, don’t be jealous V,” Brain laughed as I got out of the car to help manage Jimmy.

“Jim…you’re home,” I said, pulling at his arm. “You’ve got to get some sleep, we’ve got to meet Dice in the morning.” Suddenly Jimmy shot up and wrapped his body around me, hugging me like I had never felt before.

“Our Knife Master is back!” He sang loudly as I stumbled backwards under his weight. “See I told everyone that Dicey McDicey Dice wasn’t gone forever! She does love us!” he continued as Brain and Zacky worked to pull him off of me. “You, me, and Dice are going to be the three musketeers! You assholes better get ready because you have no idea what you’re in for!” He sang-screamed and I couldn’t help but share in his excitement of having my best friend back. I just prayed that Matt was working his magic like Brian said and would convince her to say. Our fight had been stupid and there really wasn’t any reason to run away.

“Yes, Jimbo, we will be ready for your new antics tomorrow,” Zacky chuckled. “Just don’t embarrass us too much at the court house.”

My heart sunk in my chest at Zacky’s words, remembering that the trial started tomorrow. Oh, god how was I going to go threw with this? Maybe I could call it all off in the morning. Panic started to flood my veins and I had to lean back against the car to keep myself standing. My chest rose and fell rapidly as I pinched my eyes shut, willing my anxiety to go way. I couldn’t go threw with this trial if it meant the people I cared about getting hurt. I took in ragged breath after ragged breath, trying to find my bearings again but none of my usual tricks were working.

“MJ?” Brain called from Jimmy’s front door, his brow furring in concern as I shot him a panicked look. I couldn’t face Malcolm not matter how much I wanted him to pay for what he did to me. I could still see flashes of the night he beat so badly when I tried to leave him the first time. Dice had been so pissed off when I got home with a bruised and bloodied face that it took every ounce of energy I had left to keep her from going after him. I just remembered looking at the cut and swollen face in the mirror for day—not to mention my broken heart. There was no doubt that he would have tried to kill me if I hadn’t lied to him about staying.

“MJ, breath,” Brain said, suddenly taking my face into his hands and forcing me to look at him. “You’re okay,” he promised, though I had never actually told him what happened between Malcolm and I or about his new threatening text. Hell, I didn’t tell anyone. “I’ll be with you ever step of the way, I promise.” His lips grazed my in a passionate kiss before he pressed his forehead to mine, looking down into my eyes. “Let’s get you home…” He breathed, his body pressing into mine in a longing way. “You owe me what was it…eight spanks?”

I bit my lip, feeling my anxiety starting to subside from his touch alone. It was amazing the power her had over me and how just his presence calmed me. “Yeah…” I said with a mischievous smirk because I knew that I had done it on purpose. So sue me, I liked when he touched me! I mean look at him!

As I climbed into the passenger seat, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I really hoped that it was Dice calling me back because I was really sick of her ignoring my calls, especially after she specifically told me to call her. Maybe she was having her way with Matt and that I could forgive her for, but at least give me some kind of sign that she wasn’t dead!

I gasped lightly as I looked down to see the text, fear spreading throughout my body as I visibly tensed. I was thankful that Brian was driving or else he would have noticed my panic rising again.

Well that was some stunt right there, Mia. Almost felt bad 4 u. Too bad this will b ur last night with lover boy. He wont be able to save u anymore. Make it count and don’t forget I see everything. ~M

I felt like I was going to be sick as I threw my phone to the floor, putting my head in my hands. He was watching me with Brain? I didn’t even see another car on the street at Jimmy’s, how could he know what I was doing? This was really fucking messed up and I felt terrified. How could someone that claimed to love you at one point do this to you? Malcolm was a psychotic freak.

“Mia?”

It was then that the phone sounded again on the floor and I could see the message from where I sat.

U could end all this by calling off the trial. Call it off or die. Its that simple. ~M

“Mia?” suddenly I was looking into Brian’s eyes and we were parked in the driveway next to Abby. “What is it? Who’s texting?” His brown orbs were full of concern as they scanned my face. I licked my lips and pulled away, putting the phone in my purse. I couldn’t tell him about this—it would only ruin things between us.

“It was just Dice,” said with my most chipper smile I could muster. “She wants me to be ready by seven to go over stuff and you know how much I love getting up early,” and that much was true.

Suddenly Brain grabbed me and spun me around to face him, pressing my back against his oak door. I swallowed thickly, feeling his need stabbing me in the hip as he closed all the space between us. His eyes scanned mine for a minute before a wicked little smirk fell over his perfect lips. “Then lets not sleep…you have the next two days off…”
