“I suppose love is an act of courage.”
The Chimneys by Agatha Christie
N olan kissed her gently at first and when it seemed as if her rational thoughts might get the better of her he teased her mouth open with his tongue, licking his way inside.
“Open for me baby, that’s it,” he groaned when Maddy’s tongue stroked against his, kissing him was like the best kind of drug and she almost felt delirious with pleasure. He took her jaw in his hand and angled her head to deepen the kiss, his other hand tangling in her pale pink hair. They slowly tipped backward until they were lying on the sofa stretched out before the warmth of the fire, Maddy underneath Nolan’s muscled body.
Maddy had fantasised about this man for so long but none of those dreams compared to the feel of his body against hers, right here, right now. She slid her hand to the back of his neck and marvelled at the softness of his hair. It was heavenly.
“Fuck baby! Please let me touch you,” he whispered against her lips. “I’ve been such a good boy for you tonight. Will you be my good girl and let me have this pussy? I need it, Maddy.”
She nodded roughly, blissed out at his praise as Nolan stroked a hand up her thighs, lifting the dress to her waist so he could reach her panties. He stopped to stare at her for a couple of moments and reverently pushed the soaked fabric aside, his fingers lightly brushing over her clit. The touch had Maddy’s back arching, her breath coming in soft pants, she was so wet that his fingers gilded back and forth easily before pushing inside her with absolutely no resistance.
Nolan bit at his bottom lip, watching his fingers stroke in and out of her pussy. “Sweetheart, I want you to come on my fingers, you’re so tight. I know you haven’t been with anyone in the past year, you’ve been waiting for me, for my cock, but I need to get you ready.”
Maddy moaned at his dirty words and Nolan kissed her, sloppy and wet, teeth clashing. He found just the right spot inside her and she cried out, the sound only seemed to spur him on, rubbing the area continuously until she felt like exploding. Nolan ran his lips along her neck, kissing and licking. She shivered when his teeth scraped against her skin and screamed out her release when he simultaneously bit down and pressed his thumb onto her sensitive clit. “Mmm, a little pain did the trick, so good for me…,” he said, licking and nuzzling the bite mark he’d left.
As she was coming down from her orgasm Nolan stood and started to strip off his clothes, she watched as he unbuttoned his shirt, her eyes drawn to the tattoos that stretched from his wrist to the top of his bicep—tattoos that looked incredibly familiar.
“What is that?” she said breathlessly, gesturing to his arm. “Those tattoos… they’re mine. I mean, they’re exactly the same as mine!”
“I know,” he replied with a soft smile. “I just wanted something physical to connect us. And I do love your books; every time I read one, I fell a little bit more in love with you. It seemed fitting to get that journey inked onto my arm. I went to a different artist, though, so they’re not identical… didn’t want yours to realize and mention it to you. Each line tells a part of our story. I wanted to carry you with me, a reminder of what you mean to me.”
She leaned closer, tracing the intricate designs with her fingertips. “It’s… beautiful,” she whispered, feeling a mix of emotions surge within her. “But it’s also kind of crazy.”
“Maybe,” he said, his gaze intense. “But what we have is anything but ordinary.”
Nolan closed the distance between them, the warmth of his body radiating as he pulled her closer. Maddy felt herself surrendering to the moment, ready to dive into the depths of their shared madness.
“I think you’re ready for me baby doll,” he said in a husky voice, pushing his trousers and boxers down over his hips. Maddy closed her eyes momentarily, feeling overloaded with sensation. When she looked again he was completely naked, his very sizeable cock right there, in front of her face. “Fuck, you’re huge!” He was thick rather than long, erect and pulsing with need.
“Well I don’t like to brag,” Nolan said smugly, “but that’s why I needed to get you ready. Now, stick out your tongue baby.”
Shivering at the authoritative tone in his voice, Maddy decided she’d do whatever he asked her to, just so he’d call her his good girl again. She opened her mouth wide and stuck her tongue out as far as it would go. Nolan leant forward with a hand on the back of the sofa behind her and tapped her tongue with the head of his cock.
“Get me nice and wet Maddy, use your pretty little tongue…”
Squeezing her legs together with the need to be filled she licked along his shaft from the base to the tip, swirling her tongue around the already leaking head. His sharp taste had her opening wide, drawing him into her wet mouth, bobbing her head as he gripped her hair. She moaned around him when he tugged too tight and he pulled out from between her lips swearing.
“That was naughty…does my greedy girl want my cum so bad? If you keep doing that I won’t last and I want to be inside you so very badly. You’re going to take this fat cock and I’m going to ruin that pussy, fill you with my cum until you’re dripping. Would you like that baby?”
“Fuck, yes, I want that! I want you! Fill me up…”
“What do good girls say?
“Please…please fuck me and fill me up with your cum.”
“Well, as you asked so nicely…turn around sweetheart.”
Maddy sat up and turned over. Nolan took hold of her hips with ease and lifted until she was on her hands and knees for him.
“Perfect doll,” he said, squeezing her ass. “Put your hands on the arm of the sofa, that’s right, just there and don’t move them. Ok?”
Maddy let out a shuddery breath and nodded. She felt him stroke along her slit with his cock, back and forth until she was squirming and trying to push back onto him. She felt a sharp sting on her backside, “I told you to stay still Maddy or this will be over far too quickly…” He gently rubbed over the burn where he’d spanked her and without warning pushed fully into her pussy. He was so large that it was almost painful, he stopped to let her adjust before slowly pulling out and ramming himself back in again. She couldn’t help the way her body tried to pull away from him, trying to escape the intrusion. She reached down and touched her clit, willing her body to relax but felt another hard tap on her ass cheek, “no no no……that belongs to me.” Nolan grabbed her hand and held both of her wrists captive. With his other hand he reached underneath to rub lazy circles around her clit, “I know I’m big baby but I promise I’ll make it feel good. Just give me what I want and stay still or I’ll have to keep spanking you like a bad girl. We don’t want that do we?”
Maddy shook her head, unable to speak. Once he had her agreement he started to move, dragging his cock in and out whilst her body relaxed into the feeling of fullness. When he saw that she wasn’t going to disobey he removed his hand from her wrists and gripped one of her hips tightly, using his knees to open her thighs as far as they could stretch, almost holding her up as he began to pound into her. “See, I knew you could do it,” he said breathlessly, panting with each rotation of his hips, “you take me so well. You were made for my cock baby doll.”
Maddy let out a garbled moan, she could barely breathe with how good it felt. She groaned in desperation when his thrusts slowed and his fingers left her clit, “what are you…oh!” Her breath stuttered when he pulled her ass cheeks apart and she felt warm liquid drip down the crease. He’d just spat on her, it was so disgusting but she felt her pussy clench on his cock all the same.
She tensed as one of his thick fingers followed the wet trail to a place that she’d never let anyone play with before. He pressed on the little ring of tight muscles and began to stroke whilst he picked up the pace with his cock. It was a strange feeling, a fucking good feeling and she found herself pushing her ass back against his finger.
“Jesus,” he groaned, “you like that? I knew you’d be such a dirty girl, my dirty, perfect, filthy girl,” he said as his whole finger pushed into her slowly. “That’s it, baby, relax, you can move, touch yourself.” Maddy did what she was told and circled her clit as he withdrew his finger and pushed back in again, keeping in sync with his cock. The feeling of both holes filled, the friction as he dragged his finger and huge cock back and forth had her pussy fluttering around him. “I’m, I’m….going to come,” she sobbed.
“Good girl, you’re so beautiful Maddy, come on my cock and show me how much you like me. Now baby, now, I’m gonna come too…”
Maddy let go with a cry and her whole body clenched in the most intense orgasm she’d ever had, it hit her in waves, one glorious sensation after another. She felt Nolan’s hips stutter as he shouted and pulled her tight against his body, his hot cum filling her up.
They collapsed together and Nolan gently turned her over, pressing a kiss to her head. “Rest sweetheart, you were so good for me, better than I could ever have imagined.”

Maddy woke, cocooned in darkness, deliciously warm and cosy under a woollen blanket. She stretched and realised that her whole body ached and that’s when she remembered the events of the night before. Her mind flashed back to the passionate kisses she’d shared with Nolan, the way his touch had sparked something deep within her, leading to some of the most intimate moments of her life. Those moments were tender yet intense, a collision of hearts and desires that made everything else fade away. But now in the harsh light of day, the reality of the situation was creeping in, she couldn’t help but wonder how she could feel so much for a man with such a dark side, a man who’d crossed lines she would have thought unforgivable. And yet, that memory, the warmth of his lips, the feel of his body as they’d come together left her shaken and desperate to feel it all over again. Throwing off the blanket she sat up, stretching her sore muscles. It was Christmas Morning. She shuffled across the cold floor to the window and looked out at the now peaceful frosted landscape. It had stopped snowing sometime during the night and the garden was now just a sea of white, glittering in the early morning light. As she took deep and even breaths something settled inside, for the first time since she’d arrived at Ashbourne Hall she felt calm. She startled as a throat cleared from the doorway. Nolan stood there, smiling softly, the twinkling lights from the Christmas tree casting colours across his face.
“Good morning baby, how are you feeling? I got you some coffee and managed to find some painkillers, I thought you might be a little sore, I well and truly used that perfect body last night.” Nolan said handing her a mug and tipping the pills into her hand.
“What time is it? Maddy winced, swallowing down the pills with a big gulp of scalding coffee.
“It’s just after 5.30 am, Merry Christmas!,” he grinned. “ I’ve checked on the others, everyone’s still sleeping but I’ll bet they’ll be up soon. Did you see the garden? What a sight, it’s not very often you get a snowfall like that on Christmas Day.”
Maddy nodded, peering at Nolan’s stupidly beautiful face over the mug of coffee in her hands. She felt her sense of calm slipping away. Looking at him, so close, reminded her once again of the crushing futility of their situation. “Are we going to talk about what happened last night?”
“What’s there to talk about? I took the trash out, had the best date ever and finally got to be with the woman of my dreams. It’s pretty simple really.”
“You murdered someone, even if he was an utter bastard the police are still going to arrest you and throw away the key! What happens then? Are you going to send me emails from prison? I’m not sure I want to be a prison pen pal!” Maddy could hear how shrill and panicked her voice sounded but couldn’t help it. His emails had made him one of the only constants in her life and she’d come to the realisation whilst staring out at the snow only moments before that she selfishly didn’t care that he’d killed Dan, she just didn’t want to lose him.
“I told you, I planned everything, do you really think I wouldn’t have a way to get around that? I want to be with you more than anything in the world, not behind a screen but in the flesh, every single day. I love you Maddy and I want a chance to show that you belong with me,” Nolan said, his face open and pleading. “This has been the best Christmas morning I’ve ever had, waking wrapped up in each other, that’s what I want. Every day for the rest of our lives.
“The question is do you want to be with me? Did I do enough last night to convince you to give me a shot and can you ever look past the fact that I killed a man? Will you give me up to the police?”
Both elated and terrified at Nolan’s professed love for her, Maddy groaned, “I can’t deny that I want you, I have for a long time but I just can’t see how this will work. Dan was an awful man and I’m not sad that he’s gone. I won’t tell the police that you did it, although the others are going to talk about Detective Moore, you know that right? And they’ll question me as I spent the most time with you.”
“Firstly, if you want to be with me then I’ll make it work, I’ll figure it out, just like I planned tonight. As for the police, I phoned them about fifteen minutes ago so they’ll be here soon, the road looks like it was cleared. Tell them the same as the other guests, I was a detective who showed up and interviewed everyone but I seemed to have disappeared this morning. They’ll soon discover that Detective Moore doesn’t exist, and neither does the guy who worked in the kitchen. Just don’t mention that I destroyed that beautiful pussy or the emails and everything should be golden.”
Nolan pulled her toward him, enveloping her in the warmth of his body. “I got you a gift.” He reached into his pocket and revealed a delicate silver chain, holding it up so Maddy could see the little charm dangling from it. “It’s a sprig of mistletoe. I want it to remind you of our time together. When you’re missing me, hold it and think of soft Christmas lights, cinnamon, and sweet kisses. But don’t forget that it’s poisonous too, just like my love. Remember, you’re mine, sweetheart, and I’ll do anything to keep you.”
Nolan held the necklace above them, a symbol of their connection. “We have our mistletoe, baby, so kiss me goodbye. No tears, I’ll see you very soon. We’ll have a second date, and I’ll do my best to make it even better than this one.”
Maddy felt tears spill down her cheeks, her heart breaking at the uncertainty of when she would see him again. She quickly wiped them away and leaned forward, pressing her lips to his. “Okay, a second date…maybe you’ll actually tell me your real name…but no murder. I’ll give you a chance to prove that I belong to you…”
