Her heart was racing in her chest. She was panting in Maddox's strong arms as he took her to his bedroom. His lips caressed hers sweetly, she couldn't get enough of his taste that drugged her to lose control and let go of her sanity. Her magic behaved unpredictably around her, she hoped nothing bad would happen whilst she had no power over her magic. When they entered the room, he let her down to stand on her bare feet. His stormy gold eyes were clouded with flaming lust for her. She backed away into the room as he closed the door behind him.

"Once this happens Blair, I'm not letting you go," said Maddox huskily.

Blair bit her lip. "I'm not going anywhere," she whispered to him.

Maddox stalked towards her as he unbuttoned the cufflinks on his sleeves. "Take my shirt off, Blair," he whispered his command in her ear.

Blair willingly obeyed. Her fingers quickly worked to open all the buttons of his dark shirt. His hands circled her waist to find the zipper on her back. He unfastened her dress as she stripped him of his shirt and exposed his beautiful body for her eyes to feast upon. Maddox peeled the dress off her shoulders, her breasts and down her waist and hips. The dress plopped onto the floor with his shirt and then he guided her towards his bed. She followed his command and let him take her down on the cool sheets that burned against her hot skin.

Maddox's weight crushed over the mattress and she wished he pressed his body against hers. She ran her hands over his muscular arms. She raked her nails over the long expansion of his back as his lips kissed up her neck. She arched her back as his hands possessively roamed over her curvaceous body. Maddox bit her neck when she combed her fingers through his dark hair, which was much softer than she thought it'd be. She quickly realized how much she adored touching his hair and having his lips on her neck.

Abruptly, the lights flickered and it startled both of them.

Maddox glanced at the lamp and grinned. "I could get used to this," he muttered and kissed Blair. "Yeah. I definitely can."

"You don't know what you're signing up for," baited Blair.

Maddox pulled the straps of her bra down and unhooked it. "I know exactly what I signed up for," he said. "I have an extraordinary witch who also has a beautiful heart and the sexiest body."

Blair laughed at his direct honesty. "Sexy huh?"

Maddox removed her bra. He loomed over her as his eyes feasted on her body. "Unequivocally, sexy." His strong hands fit over her breasts as his lips found hers. They kissed like they had all the time in the world and in each other's arms was the only world they were in tonight.

He was drowning her in his control over her body, she was at his mercy and it gave her chills. She couldn't grab onto her sanity even if she tried. His lips traced over her neck down to her breasts, his teeth bit into her soft flesh and it took her breath away. His golden eyes darkened as they watched her carefully when he moved down her body. Her erratic heart thumped a little faster when he positioned himself between her legs. He kissed over the soft plane of her stomach and licked over her navel, his teeth then hooked onto the thin lace that covered her core. He pulled the fabric over her legs and tossed it on the floor with the rest of their clothes.

Blair lost herself in his scorching amber eyes that were focused on her and nothing else. She licked her bruised lips and bit into the flesh when Maddox kissed the top of her bare core. She was hot and felt heavy because of him and she didn't know how to release this weight from inside her. He pulled her thighs far apart and didn't waste any second before he devoured her dripping wet arousal. His tongue licked over her throbbing nub, which sent her soaring through the clouds. She hadn't even recovered from this high when she felt a finger enter her core. She arched her back and moaned breathlessly. She raked her fingers through his hair and begged that he never stop. Another finger entered her and she felt her eyes roll back.

Blair tightened around his fingers when her arousal got out of control and she couldn't handle it anymore. But Maddox didn't listen, he continued his brutal assault. He thrusted his fingers deep into her hot and wet core. Maddox rose over her with his fingers still inside her, his lips met hers and he swallowed her moans as his fingers curled and hit that sensually sweet spot deep inside her. Blair crashed from her release that thundered through her body and fused all the lights in the room. Maddox kissed her with driven hunger that told her that she was ready to go again with him.

He swiftly rolled a condom on and then pressed the head of his sex against her sensitive core that was anticipating him. She opened her legs wider and let him push through her folds and thrust into her core. Her core wrapped his shaft like a hot sheath and he had to take a heavy breath before he could move. They were both surprised by the intensity that swam around them and consumed their bodies to combust with need.

Blair raked his back and begged him to move otherwise she would break. Maddox's body grew stiff when she closed her core around his shaft. His pushed deeper into her until he was buried deep inside her. All she could feel was his thick shaft pulsing inside of her and it drove her over the edge. He suddenly pulled out and she gasped when a rush thundered through her body. Maddox slowed his pace and she moaned his name begging him to return to her body, which he happily complied. He thrusted into her core deep enough to hit the hilt of his shaft. Blair buckled and accepted the faster he got the more she unravelled underneath him. She closed her eyes shut and wished that her magic would stay under control because she was not. She was under Maddox's mercy and she had no clue what was going to stop it from ever happening again, especially after this night.

They both shattered from their invigorating release. Maddox collapsed on top of her and she held him close wishing that this moment wasn't just a dream. He moved off of her and strode into the bathroom just for a few seconds before he returned and slid on the bed next to her. Maddox wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her right against his body.

Her eyes grew heavy. "Sorry, I broke your lamp," she whispered softly.

She felt his smile against her ear. "It's fine," he said. "The broken lamp will always remind me that you had a good time."

She was so glad that it was dark because she blushed terribly bright. She snuggled closer to his body and focused on his soothing breath to calm herself down. Blair fell asleep with a shy smile spread across her face because she couldn't help but feel so giddy around Maddox.

Maddox opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Blair's golden hair spread across the pillow. A smile creeped up instantly and his heart did a small jump. Memories of last night washed over him and he loved every single moment of it. He met the most extraordinary woman who understood him better than he did himself. Maddox wasn't about to let his little witch slip out of his hands, not now or ever.

He glanced over to the clock to check the time, but instead he saw the fused lamp, he grinned and reminded himself to never make Blair angry or sad. If she could fuse a lamp whilst having sex, imagine what she'd do if she was angry at him.

Blair was still deeply asleep, he didn't have the heart to wake her up even if he wanted to do exactly that. He brushed away the golden strands of that covered her gorgeous face and found himself captivated. The soft arch of her brows, her straight nose and those lush lips that would haunt his dreams. Maddox rolled out of bed before he really woke up Blair to satisfy the desire that ignited every damn time she was close to him.

He strode into the bathroom and took a freezing cold shower to calm himself down. He put on a simple shirt and some jeans before he entered his bedroom again and Blair was stretched across his bed. He came over to her and leaned down. "Wake up, Blair," he whispered softly trying to pull her out of her dreams.

Her brows furrowed and she moaned. "Time?" she asked even though she was still asleep.

"Eight thirty," he answered her. "Let's have some breakfast."

Blair's eyes fluttered open and they shined a deep blue rather than grey. "Good morning," she sighed.

Maddox eyed the sheets that fell below her waist and exposed her body to him. "Sure is," he said hotly.

She sat up on the bed and her golden hair followed. It fell in waves down her back as she sat with the scuffled sheets covering her modestly. Maddox couldn't resist anymore, he leaned over on the bed and crushed his lips over hers and melted.

"Your hair's wet," she pointed out.

Maddox lifted his head and looked down into her bright eyes. "I took a shower," he told her.

She gasped melodramatically. "Without me?"

He smirked. "I'll make sure to take you with me next time," he bit her earlobe. She jolted and nudged him away. "Take a shower and get ready. I'll make breakfast." Maddox kissed her nose. Blair groaned and dropped back under the sheets, she stretched her limbs and his body stirred with any move she made. "Stop tempting me," he said as he stood over her.

She looked up from her heavy lashes. "I didn't do anything," she said. Maddox chuckled and walked out the room before he died because of her.

Maddox took out some eggs from the fridge and bacon for some breakfast. He fried the eggs and cooked the bacon whilst the bread toasted to a golden brown. He clicked the red button on the coffee machine that brewed fresh dark roast. He focused on the task at hand and worked around his kitchen to prepare a good breakfast for Blair. He noticed that he didn't find it weird cooking for her, it felt natural.

"Do you know where I dropped my phone?" Blair appeared from his bedroom, fully clothed with the same dress from yesterday and her hair wet from the shower.

"It's probably on the couch," said Maddox. Blair's bare legs caught his eyes and he smiled as he prepared them sandwiches.

She padded over the couch. "Found it," she announced when she found her purse on table. She concentrated and slightly frowned.

"You okay?" he asked.

Blair's frown disappeared and she smiled for him. "It was just Anastasia," she told him.

"Come," he said. "Food's ready."

Blair sat next to him at the table and enjoyed a sip of coffee like him. "Thank you for making me breakfast," she said. "This is bad. I'm getting used to you cooking for me."

"I like cooking for you," said Maddox without hesitation.

Blair chuckled. "I'm going to keep your word for it," she said.

Maddox smiled over the rim of his cup. "Although, what will you do for me?" he asked.

Blair raised a brow. "Oh, is that how it is," she said. "Well, I did help you with your sleep-"

"You sure did," said Maddox as he remembered last night.

"I meant with the ring," said Blair teasingly.

"Oh," he coughed. "The ring helped a lot. But I prefer how you put me to sleep last night." Blair bit back her smile and focused her eyes on her food to hide that blush that creeped onto her cheeks. But Maddox noticed it all. He leaned towards her and kissed her cheek. "You're so cute when you blush," he teased.

"And you're so infuriating when you're teasing me," she bit back. "Now, let me eat in peace. This is too good to let it go cold."

Maddox chuckled and they finished their breakfast. She helped him with the dishes and poured him another cup of coffee. "Will you be staying with me today?" he asked as he enjoyed her standing in his kitchen.

She contemplated for a moment and Maddox wished she hadn't because that meant she wasn't staying. "I have to go home and change," she told him. "Then I have to open shop today."

Maddox nodded. "Alright," he said. "I'll drop you."

"We also have another matter to handle," she said sternly.

Maddox looked into her hard gaze.

"Ainsley," they both said together.

"I was going to send him packing today," said Maddox as he caged her against the counter. "Don't worry about him anymore."

Blair nodded. "Good," she said and surprisingly she kissed him first. Her lips caressed his open and she circled her arms around his neck. He never took it lightly when she kissed him, he met her with the same heat and urgency and he always would.

"Come here tonight after work," said Maddox.

Blair pressed her forehead against his. "Okay," she whispered and it pierced his heart.
