Chapter 233

Madison

“You want me to stop calling you Mr. Knight?” I asked, watching his expression carefully.

His fingers traced a lazy pattern on my knee. “When we’re like this, yes. It seems unnecessary.”

I bit my lip, considering the implications. “What exactly should I call you then? Some pet name?” I raised an eyebrow, leaning back against the couch. “Something like honey? Sweetheart? Big guy?” I couldn’t help the smirk that tugged at my lips.

His eyes darkened, fingers digging slightly into my thigh. “Don’t push it, Madison.”

“What? I’m just exploring options here,” I said innocently, enjoying the flash of irritation crossing his face. “I mean, if we’re getting informal, I should know the parameters.”

“Alexander will do just fine,” he said, voice clipped. “My actual name.”

I tilted my head, studying him. “Alexander,” I tested the name on my tongue, feeling a strange intimacy.” Seems rather formal still. And long.”

“It’s four syllables,” he pointed out dryly.

“Exactly. In the heat of the moment, that’s a lot to get out. What about Alex?”

“Alex is… acceptable.”

“Really?” I hadn’t expected him to agree so easily. “I figured you’d be the type to insist on your full name.”

“I’m not as rigid as you seem to think,” he replied, his hand sliding higher up my thigh.

“Your cock would suggest otherwise,” I shot back, immediately blushing at my own boldness.

He barked out a laugh, genuine and unrestrained. “Fuck, I like this side of you.”

The storm outside intensified, rain lashing against the windows as lightning illuminated his face. In that brief flash, I caught something in his eyes, something beyond lust or amusement.

“Well, if I’m Alex, then Madison is also quite a mouthful,” he mused, fingers drawing circles on my inner thigh. “Perhaps we should shorten yours too. Mad, perhaps?”

I stared at him incredulously. “Mad? Are you serious?”

“What’s wrong with Mad?” His lips twitched with barely suppressed humor.

“You want to call me an adjective for insane?” I scoffed, swatting his hand away. “That’s what’s wrong with it.”

“It’s just a nickname,” he insisted, capturing my hand and bringing it to his lips. “A term of endearment.”

“If you start calling me Mad, I will actually go mad,” I warned, trying to ignore the way his lips brushed against my knuckles. “And not in a fun way.”

“Fine,” he conceded, though his eyes still danced with mischief. “No Mad. Though I maintain it has a certain charm.”

“About as much charm as calling you Dickhead instead of Alexander,” I muttered.

His eyebrows shot up. “Careful, Madison. I might need to remind you who’s in charge here.”

“By all means, Alex,” 1 emphasized his shortened name with a smirk, “remind me.”

The way his eyes darkened at the challenge sent heat pooling between my thighs. His hand moved to cup my face, thumb brushing over my bottom lip. The pad of his thumb was slightly rough, catching on the sensitive skin as he traced the outline slowly.

“What do your friends call you?” he asked suddenly, his voice low and intimate.

I blinked, thrown by the question. “My friends?”

“Yes, Madison. The people you associate with when you’re not here, letting me fuck you senseless.” His thumb pressed slightly harder against my lip. “What name do they use?”

“Some call me Mads,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “Others call me Maddie.”

His eyes lit with interest. “Maddie,” he repeated, testing the name on his tongue.

Something about hearing him say it sent a shiver down my spine. It was too personal, too intimate, crossing a boundary I hadn’t realized existed until this moment.

“You don’t like it?” he asked, noticing my reaction.

“It’s not that,” I said, shifting slightly under his gaze. “It’s just… different. Hearing you say it.”

“Different good or different bad?”

I shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant despite the fact that his hand was still cradling my face. “Just different. No one at work calls me that.”

“I’m not just someone at work, am I?” His eyes burned into mine, demanding acknowledgment.

“No,” I conceded. “You’re not.”

“Maddie,” he said again, more deliberately this time. “It suits you. Softer than Madison. Less formal.” His thumb traced my bottom lip again. “I like it.”

“And I’m supposed to care what you like?” I asked, attempting to regain some control.

His smile was slow and dangerous. “Considering how wet your pussy gets when I tell you what I like, I’d say yes.

My cheeks burned, but I refused to look away. “You’re awfully confident about that.”

“Should I check?” His free hand landed on my knee, fingers playing with the hem of my dress. “Slide my fingers between those gorgeous thighs and see just how much you don’t care?”

I held his gaze, refusing to back down despite the heat flooding my body. His fingers continued their maddening path along my thigh, playing with the hem of my dress like it was a game. My breath hitched as his hand inched higher.
