Look, pal, when I say "fanfiction does not have the cultural reach to be able to change social perceptions of controversial topics"
what I mean is "if Game of Thrones could not manage to normalize incest, a handful of shipcest fics on AO3 with 50 kudos each sure aren't going to manage to normalize it!"
a dark!a/b/o universe where omegas are kept mostly in breeding/selling facilities for alphas.
they donât even see the light of day â every omega is kept underground.
so how does one get bought, you say?
candles.
goddamn candles.
each facility will get the scent of their omegas to make candles as a âselling pointâ for each one, in order to keep them as âpureâ as possible. the only time these omegas interact with an alpha is when theyâve finally been bought.
a cruel design to send them into heat as soon as they come within the scent field of the alpha whoâs just bought them.
so, of course, ghost goes down to these facilities quite frequently to scent the candles, waiting until he finds one that makes his eyes roll back. the workers always know what heâs there for, and point him to the new batches.
new omegas.
itâs been happening for months now, so he was expecting just another trip of subpar scents before going homeâ
until he smells your scent.
he freezes, reading the description on the candle, before thrusting it into the workerâs hand.
âget âem,â he grunts, pawing at his mask that now felt incredibly suffocating and hot on his face and neck.
poor you has no idea what youâre in for.
and yes, simon absolutely lights the candle while heâs pounding into you every which way, both of you deep into your respective ruts/heatsđââď¸
AN: i feel like ghost is one of those alphas whoâs so obsessed w you he gets a rash if heâs not in you. send tweet
synopsis: You're way too trusting for your own good. Garrett realizes quickly that he has to step in to make sure you're not taken advantage of. And if he ends up getting you in the process, well, that's just a bonus.
It kind of just happened, given how impossible it was for him to take his eyes off you.
He didn't recognize you as one of Briar U's infamous puck bunnies, mainly because there wasn't a group of sophomore hockey players surrounding you. You stood near the fridge in the hockey house kitchen, nursing a red Solo cup, a cute pink purse tucked under your arm and held close to your side. The way your wide eyes wandered around the room gave him the impression that you were a little out of your depth.
If he were anything like Dean, he would've approached you already and figured out your deal.
Why did you smile politely when partygoers pushed past you?
He watched as a dude fully grabbed your hip. Your body jolted at his touch, and he could read your lips as the word sorry left them.
Sorry.
To the guy who'd touched you.
Your eyes lit up when a tall redheaded girl in an impossibly short black dress approached you. She stood in stark contrast to your mom jeans and light pink tube top.
Your friend, Garrett assumed.
She leaned down to whisper something into your ear. Your face fell for only a moment before you nodded.
He was almost sure your response was:
"Okay, that's fine."
He understood your disappointment moments later when Dean made his appearance, shirtless and drunk off his ass. He swept up your redheaded friend and started carrying her toward the back hallway.
Garrett had no excuse for not approaching you now.
If you were waiting for your friend to finish hooking up with Dean, you'd be waiting a long while.
Garrett took a swig from the one beer he was allowing himself on a night before a game.
Unfortunately, someone else had the same idea.
He recognized the guy immediately. Tall. Lanky. One of Beau's fraternity brothers. A senior on the swim team.
Mark.
Or Mateo.
Probably not Michael.
Whatever his name was, he wanted to fuck you.
Curious, Garrett decided to keep his distance. He watched from across the room as he approached the speaker blasting '80s rock music. He grabbed Logan's phone from the table and changed the song, all while keeping one eye on you.
It was almost offensive how forward the guy was being.
He had a hand on your shoulder, and he was standing so close that you were forced to tilt your head back to look at him.
"Yeah... we talked upstairs. Remember?"
You politely shook your head.
"I don't think it was me."
Your voice was sweet.
Garrett could tell that much.
Wanting to hear more of the conversation, he lowered the volume of the music.
"I know I'm so fucking drunk right now, but we ran into each other outside the bathroom. I remember. You're so hot I know I'd remember you. You don't want to kiss me again?"
He grabbed your hand.
"Uhm, no, thank you. B-but... I really don't... uhmâ"
The guy started pulling.
And your feet followed.
Your eyes were panicked, but your body moved anyway.
Jesus Christ.
He wasn't getting the hint.
It didn't help that you still had that polite smile on your face.
Fuck.
Were you seriously so polite that you were going to let this idiot drag you away even though you'd clearly never met him before?
Absolutely fucking not.
Garrett's feet moved before his brain really registered what he was doing.
He shoved himself between you and Swim Team Whatever-His-Name-Was and forced your hands apart.
He wasn't trying to embarrass the guy.
He shoved his shoulder just hard enough to make him stumble.
"She said no."
"What the fuck?"
Bold and clearly running on liquid courage, the guy took a step toward Garrett.
The standoff lasted all of three seconds.
Then recognition dawned.
Because Garrett Graham was standing in front of him.
"Are you dumb?" Garrett asked. "Can't you tell she doesn't want to talk to you?"
The guy gritted his teeth.
"I was just..." He looked at you. Then back at Garrett. "She's all yours, man."
And just like that, he stumbled away in search of another vulnerable girl.
Your eyes looked just as panicked when Garrett turned back toward you.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to cause a scene."
Garrett savored the chance to finally look at you up close.
Your makeup was soft. A light dusting of blush colored your cheeks. Your lips were glossy and glittered faintly under the kitchen lights.
Your hair was pulled back with a floral headband.
Worst of all, you smelled like lavender and vanilla.
Garrett stepped closer.
Shielding you from the crowd.
Blocking you in until your back met the kitchen counter.
He wasn't sure how subtle it was when he leaned closer just to breathe you in.
"I know it's your party..." you whispered.
Your voice trailed off.
You stared up at him as if he were a wolf and you were prey.
Honestly?
The comparison wasn't far off.
If Garrett had to compare you to an animal, it would be a baby deer.
Wide-eyed, nervous and completely unaware of how vulnerable you were.
"You're..."
"Garrett," he finished for you. "What's your name?"
"Y/N."
The answer came out almost too quickly.
Too trusting.
Y/N.
It bounced around inside his head while his imagination immediately started building a picture of who you were.
A picture he already suspected he'd be thinking about later tonight.
"You're not really sorry, right?" he asked. "Because that asshole was the one trying to trick you into hooking up with him."
"I don't think he was..."
Garrett stared.
You genuinely seemed to be considering it.
As if you'd only just realized the guy had been hitting on you.
"I think he was just confused."
All Garrett really knew about you was your name.
But he'd already decided you were perfect.
Seriously lacking in street smarts.
But perfect nonetheless.
His jaw ticked.
He regretted not putting the guy through the floor.
"I think he's lucky I'm a nice guy."
You completely missed the meaning behind that statement.
He could tell because you immediately replied:
"Your house is really nice too. Thank you for having me. I mean, you didn't really invite me. Dean invited my roommate, butâ"
You stopped yourself.
Realizing you were rambling.
"I mean, it's a good party."
Garrett grinned.
"Thank you. Your roommate is the redhead?"
You nodded.
"She just disappeared with Dean."
"Is she your ride?"
Garrett planted a hand on either side of you.
Close enough to feel your breathing change.
Close enough to know he was overwhelming your senses.
"Yeah. I was just gonna wait for her to... you know. Get done."
"You might be waiting a while."
Your mouth parted.
Then closed.
Had that possibility genuinely not occurred to you?
"Well, that's okay." Your smile was small. "If it gets too late, I can call someone. There's this guy in my Instructional Tech class who said he'd give me a ride if I ever needed one."
Garrett's brows immediately knitted together.
"A random guy in your class?"
"He's not random. We have class together."
"Have you ever hung out with him outside of class?"
"Well, no. But he's nice. And I can't really afford an Uber all the way back to my apartment."
Another guy who wanted to fuck you.
And you had absolutely no idea.
Garrett was beginning to notice a pattern.
He was already starting to hate the idea of letting you leave this house and return to your own devices.
"Your friend kinda sucks for bringing you here and then abandoning you."
The words came out before he could stop them.
Instantly, he regretted it.
Your face fell.
"I-I wanted to come."
"You like parties?"
"I like parties."
You practically struggled to force the words out.
A terrible lie.
Your discomfort was written all over your face.
"And she's a good friend."
"Hmm."
Garrett pushed away from the counter, finally giving you room to breathe.
"There's a good chance they're going to fuck all night, Y/N. If you want to crash here, there's a spare bedroom. If not, I can drive you home. I've only had one beer."
"You don't have to do that, Garrett. It's so out of the way. I'll find a ride."
Say my name again.
Please.
"You're adorable, you know that?"
You smiled immediately.
Embarrassed.
"Are you making fun of me?"
"Never," Garrett replied sincerely. "Let me drive you home."
Because an adorable little bunny like you wasn't getting into a car with some random loser from class.
"I..."
You pressed your lips together under the weight of his stare.
Had you ever told anyone no before?
"I should check in with my friend firstâ"
Garrett's hand found the small of your back.
"Sure."
He guided you toward the hallway.
"If my predictions are correct, they're probably in the laundry room."
Not a single word of protest left your mouth.
The irony of the situation dawned on him. He didnât want someone else to take advantage of you, and yet he was practically doing the same, but Garrett was nothing like the guys who only wanted to fuck you. He actually had substance that backed up his bravado. Everyone at Briar knew that, and Garrett was watching as you came to the same revelation. Hockey captain. Six-foot-whatever. He was someone not to be fucked with. Maybe thatâs why your body relaxed under his touch, and you let him lead you to the end of the downstairs hallway.Â
Garrett would bet a million dollars that his best friend Dean was fucking your red-headed friend with the door wide open. He pushed you ahead of him, his other hand finding the other side of your hip, holding you as you peeked into the doorway. As if youâd seen a ghost, Garrett watches as your hands slap against your own eyes.Â
Garrett couldnât hold back the deep rumbling in his throat as he laughed. He took his own peek and found your red-headed friend bent over the running dryer as Dean pounded into her from behind. You turned around quickly, practically pressing your face into his chest, âOh my goodness. Why did they leave the door open?â
âAs you can see, your friend is occupied. Are you ready to go now, princess?â Garrett grabbed you by your chin, forcing your frightened eyes to look up at his.Â
You nodded, long eyelashes batting up at him. He takes another mental picture for later. He imagined his cock down your throat, that same look of fear and wonder in your eyes. He clears his throat, pushing the lewd thought out of his mind, âThen letâs get you home.âÂ
Your apartment building might as well have been condemned.
It was a rude thought born from privilege, but Garrett couldn't suppress the uneasy feeling creeping up the back of his neck.
Of course you lived on the worst side of town.
During the twenty-minute drive, he'd learned how you'd ended up at Briar and, subsequently, at the hockey house.
You'd transferred in January and had been forced to find housing at the last minute.
That's how you'd met Paige, the redheaded puck bunny.
Apparently, she was renting out her couch and charging you half the rent.
âIt pulls out.â
âWhat?â
âThe couch.â You glanced over at him. âI'm not just sleeping on her couch. It pulls out and turns into a bed.â
Garrett shot you an incredulous look, taking his eyes off the road for a second.
âWhere do you keep all your shit?â
âWe turned the coat closet into my personal closet.â You smiled proudly. âIt's actually more convenient than you'd think. And I don't have that much stuff anyway.â
You paused before adding softly,
âThe important thing is that I'm here. You have no idea how long I've wanted to go to school here.â
Your eyes were bright and hopeful, standing in sharp contrast to the darkness outside the Jeep.
âAnd you're an education major?â
âYeah.â You answered quickly, pleased that he'd remembered. âElementary education.â
âThat's cool.â
Garrett pulled into a parking space in front of your building and shifted the Jeep into park. The engine died and silence crept inside the vehicle.Â
He tucked his keys into the pocket of his sweatpants before leaning across the center console and unclipping your seatbelt.
His face ended up a little closer to yours than necessary.
âI'll walk you up.â
âYou don't have to, really.â You offered him a small smile. âThis is already too much.â
Too much.
The phrase irritated him more than it should have.
Was basic kindness really that foreign to you?
âI'm a gentleman, princess. Of course I have to.â
You laughed softly.
âPaige talks all the time about how hockey players are the exact opposite of gentlemen.â
Your roommate is an idiot, princess.
âThen let me prove her wrong.â
The words came out low and certain.
Garrett realized, as he climbed out of the Jeep and rounded the front of the vehicle to open your door, that he'd never meant anything more.
âOh, I get it now. This is the same girl from the party.â
Garrett watched as Dean dug into the huge pile of food on his plate. The dining hall was bustling at lunchtime, and the conversation his friends were having was almost loud enough to cloud his thoughts of you.
Almost.
Until Dean brought up Garrett's new favorite subject.
You.
âMaybe you can invite her friend over again tomorrow since Tuck has people coming over?â
âWhoâs her friend?â Dean asked, and Garrett stared back at him, forcing his gaze to remain steady to prevent his eyes from rolling.
âThe redhead? Kinda moans like a goat?â
Deanâs lips pulled into a mischievous smile.
âAh, I see. Freaky Paige. She said her roommate was, like, a super religious virgin and then something else about her growing up in a cult. Which kinda tracks. She just stood there alone smiling at everyone the whole night.â
âWhat the fuck? Y/N did not. And Paige is full of shit.â
Dean chuckled.
âIt doesnât matter. Paige said that was the last time we were hooking up because sheâs getting back with her boyfriend.â
Your roommate really sucks, Bunny.
âHereâs your opportunity, G,â Logan spoke up, abandoning whatever conversation he'd been having with Tucker. He jerked his head toward one of the double doors.
You walked through alone, your hair thrown up in a high ponytail and a pink backpack slung over your shoulder. Although you werenât smiling, you looked happy, and Garrett could only assume youâd just gotten out of class.
You headed toward the salad bar.
Garrett stood immediately.
He patted Logan on the back in gratitude before making his way over to you.
Your eyes widened in surprise before quickly brightening with unmistakable joy.
You were happy to see him.
âHey,â he said, even though there was so much more on his mind.
You almost forgot you were filling your tray.
âHi. How are you?â
âGood.â
Amazing, actually. More like it, now that youâre here.
âWhat about you?â
âIâm really good. I love Mondays. No afternoon classes.â
âSo youâre free the rest of the day?â
Your lips parted in surprise.
You glanced down nervously as you added more toppings to your salad. Garrett followed alongside you.
âWell, yeah. I was gonna do some homework and then... start a new book.â
Jesus.
He even found the idea of you reading alone in your apartment adorable.
âI, uh, wanted to get your number. Totally forgot to ask when I dropped you off the other night.â
âMy number?â
âFor chauffeuring reasons, of course. Donât want you getting stranded and having to call Instructional Tech Guy.â
That made you giggle.
âReally?â
âReally.â
You reached the end of the salad bar and started toward the register.
Garrett grabbed the tray from your hands.
âLet me get this.â
âI-I have dining dollars, Garrett. You donât have toââ
âSave âem.â
Heâd do any small thing he could to take care of you.
At least until he figured out how to have all of you.
Garrett could practically feel his friendsâ stares as he carried your tray away and abandoned them completely.
They knew this was more than him trying to score.
Girls threw themselves at Garrett.
In all his years at Briar, heâd never had to chase one.
âLet me see your phone.â
Garrett was already reaching for it before it was halfway out of your pocket.
Your lock screen was a collage of pink aesthetic photos and an orange cat.
âYou have a cat?â
âOh, yeah. Thatâs Mouse. Iâve had him since middle school, but it didnât feel right bringing him here. Taking him away from his home.â
âHeâs cute,â Garrett commented as he held the phone in front of your face and unlocked it. âHey, are you religious?â
You blinked up at him.
Up.
Because Garrett was sitting beside you and was still massive even while seated.
âNo. Uhm, not really. Wh-why do you ask?â
Stupid, freaky Paige.
âI was, uh, just wondering where youâre from.â
Garrett quickly learned you were from a small town in upstate New York.
From what he gathered, your home life was far from cultish. Nothing toxic.
You just seemed sheltered.
An only child.
He took the opportunity to enter his number into your phone and send himself a text.
âIâm serious about calling me if you need a ride somewhere.â
âYou make it seem like Briar is a scary place. Everyone Iâve met is very nice. Including you.â
âIâm flattered, princess. And I agree that most people are nice. But this place has freaks and weirdos, and Iâd prefer it if you werenât anywhere near them.â
He was entitled.
What did it matter what he wanted for you?
He didnât own you.
Heâd met you two nights ago.
And yet you didnât argue.
Almost as if you already trusted him.
âIâm working to save up enough money for a car, so hopefully I wonât have to bother you or Paige.â
âWhere do you work?â
The question came out a little too quickly.
Garrett reminded himself he might scare you off if he didnât pace himself.
And you did look a little nervous.
But you were an open book.
âI always work game days at the campus bookstore, so Iâve never gone to a game. And then I nanny during the week.â
âWell, if youâre free tonight, let me take you out.â
âTake me out?â
âTo dinner.â
âOh.â
You stared at him, eyes wide and beautiful.
âWhy?â
âWhy dinner?â
âA dinner date?â
âYeah.â
âAs friends?â
âThe opposite, actually.â
Your lips parted, then closed again.
Garrett watched as you intentionally took a deep breath.
In through your nose.
Out through your mouth.
âIâm really trying to keep up here, Garrett.â
Too much.
Too fast.
He was pretty sure thatâs what you wanted to say.
You just didnât want to hurt his feelings.
âHey. Relax, okay?â
His tone softened immediately.
The deep quality of his voice remained, but there was something undeniably gentle underneath it.
âItâs not a big deal. Just dinner. If you want, you could come over to my place and we could order something. Watch a movie.â
Another deep breath.
âUhm... and then what?â
And then heâd probably kiss you. And touch you as much as he could before you became a bundle of nerves. So you werenât completely innocent. Part of you, deep down, knew what dinner and a movie often lead to.Â
âThereâs nothing to be nervous about. I like you, Y/N.â
âI like you too. I mean, I think youâre nice and...â
âAnd...?â Garrett prompted.
âHandsome.â
You winced as soon as the word left your mouth.
Not because you didnât mean it.
Because you were worried it was the wrong thing to say.
âIâm sorry. If Iâm being honest, I havenât really been on a date since high school. And Iâm a little confused that, out of all the boys at Briar, youââ
Garrett immediately shook his head.
âAre you questioning my taste?â
âOf course not!â you whisper-shouted.
âYouâre pretty. Youâre sweet. And I havenât met anyone like you.â
His gaze settled on yours.
âIâd like to keep seeing you. So, Iâm gonna drop you off at your apartment. You can read your book and do your homework. Then Iâll come back tonight and pick you up for our date.â
âAre you sure?â
Garrett gave you a look that was just stern enough to make you squirm.
âOkay, okay. That sounds... good.â
You waited until his expression softened before taking another breath.
âNow finish your lunch, baby.â
You nodded quickly and picked up your fork, finally beginning to eat.

Warning: sexual content, unprotected sex, sex toys?
Your bunny boyfriend acts all sweet, innocent, and shy around other people, whether they're strangers, friends, or family. Simply the perfect bunny.
But when you're alone, he becomes a completely different person. His libido increases a thousandfold, and all he thinks about is fucking you. In seconds, he'll bend you down on any soft surface so he can fuck you to his heart's content, whether it's the bed, the sofa, or that fur rug he begged you to buy.
Your bunny boyfriend really enjoys pretending you're his dirty bunny. He makes you wear furry bunny ears (which he bought at a costume shop), furry thigh-high stockings, and a white pom-pom-shaped anal plug that looks just like his own.
He has you face down, ass up, drooling on the sheets as he vigorously fucks you from behind. His hands grip your hips tightly, his nails leaving crescent-shaped marks on your smooth skin. He groans and moans, biting his lip as he watches the pom-pom on your ass quiver when your anus contracts and loosens around the metal.
âY-you... you have to âugh... k-keep it inside you... n-naughty bunny...â
All you can do is moan as his cock hits your sweet spot again and again. Your hands grip the sheets, his fat balls slapping against your ass repeatedly, leaving a red mark on your fuzzy skin. The wet, dirty sound of slaps fills the room along with the thick smell of sex. His cock throbs inside you, his movements becoming more erratic, feverish like a real bunny in heat. He pinches your clit, making your eyes roll back.
âC-cum on, bunny... c-cum on right now... so your h-husband... can cum inside... y-you...â
His fingers rub and pinch your clit, right where his thick cock goes in and out of you. Your belly clenches and an electric shock travels through your pussy. You come with a sharp moan, your juices soaking his cock, dripping from his balls. The sensation makes his eyes roll back. With one last thrust, he cums, strands of warm, thick semen filling you. His tail twitches and quivers, as do his ears. Looks like you two will have a litter of bunnies very soon âĽď¸

You sighed sharply, letting your arm fall to your side for what felt like the hundredth time. The weight of the sun pressed heavily on your shoulders, the heat clinging to you like a second skin. A warm breeze teased strands of your damp hair from your face, a mercy against the uv rays. Tilting your head back, you gazed at the expanse of blue sky that had darkened in the hours you stood on the side of the road, your patience steadily unraveling like an old, worn thread.
How hard could it be to hitch a damn ride?
All you wanted was to escape the stifling monotony of this rundown, bumfuck-nowhere town. Where time seemed to crawl and every day bled into the next. There was nothing to do except drink cheap beer in collapsing barns with the people your age you could tolerateâwhich, frankly, wasnât many. Your graduating class had barely scraped together two hundred students, and most of them were already neck-deep in their great-grandparentsâ conservative, redneck ideologies, content to stay trapped in the same traditional, endless loop you were desperate to escape.
Entertainment options were laughably slim, unless you counted gossiping at the diner or staring at the peeling wallpaper of your living room. The highlight of the week was usually a herd of cattle escaping or a barn dance, where everyone pretended their lives werenât as dull as dishwater.
It was no wonder that generations before had filled their houses to the brim with children. After all, raising a family gave them something to do, a purpose to cling to in the otherwise monotonous grind of small-town life. And maybe, just maybe, it helped fill the silence that crept in at night, the kind that even wolf songs couldnât drown out.
It wasnât all bad, you supposed. At night, the air hummed with the songs of frogs and crickets, a sound that felt almost sacred. The stars lit up the sky in a way that was impossible to see from the city, their light twinkling like scattered diamonds. Fireflies blinked alongside them, tiny, fleeting beacons in the dark. Those moments, rare and quiet, made this place almost bearable.
Almost.
But Christ on a cross, when the sun rose, it brought the same crushing realization: there was nothing for you here. Nothing except Sunday mornings at church, where people whispered behind hymnals and dissected the sins of their neighbors, the same people they'd smile brightly at as they prayed for blessings to come to them. At least they handed out free donuts. Small mercies, you thought bitterly, kicking at a loose pebble on the cracked asphalt beneath your feet.
You adjusted the straps of your backpack, the weight of it pressing uncomfortably against your spine. The highway stretched ahead in an unbroken line, a mirage shimmering in the distance, promising freedom just out of reach. All you needed was someone to pull over, just one car willing to take you somewhereâanywhereâthat wasnât here.
You even went so far as to wear the most revealing clothes you could find, not that your wardrobe had much to offer in that department. A perverted driver was still a driver, and at this point, you were desperate. Youâd taken scissors to an old shirt, hacking it into a crop top that bared your midriff. The fabric was frayed and uneven, but it did the job. Your shorts were another matter entirely, uncomfortably tight and clearly too small, leftovers from when you were a kid. The waistband dug into your skin, and you had to keep tugging them down to avoid cutting off circulation.
God forbid any girl showed an ounce of skin in this town. The stares you got on your way out were enough to make you want to sprint out, but you were banking on that very same scrutiny to catch the attention of a passing car. Modesty might have been the golden rule here, but you werenât above breaking it if it got you out of this dead-end stretch of nowhere.
You felt ridiculous, humiliated even, but the thought of staying here was far worse than enduring the leering eyes of some old man. You were used to that already. Men in this town had a way of looking at you like you were an object on a shelf they might pick up, inspect, and set back down when they were done. Youâd learned to ignore it, to shrug off the uncomfortable heat of their stares and the muttered comments you pretended not to hear.
This was just more of the same, except now you were using it to your advantage. If showing a little skin meant one of those creeps would stop and offer you a ride out of this godforsaken town, then so be it. Dignity wasnât exactly high on your list of priorities right nowâfreedom was.
If only one of these fuckers would actually stop. Youâd been standing here long enough to feel the sunburn creeping across your shoulders, sweat pooling at the small of your back. You threw your arm out every time, trying to look as pitiful, or enticing, as possible, but all you got in return were waves of hot air as they sped by.
Was it just your town where men stared at women like predators? Or was that just how men were everywhere? You had no way of knowing. Your entire life had been spent here, in this suffocating bubble of prying eyes and wagging tongues. Sometimes you wondered if the rest of the world was different, or if the same lecherous glances and whispered judgments waited for you on the other side of this horizon.
Still, staying here wasnât an option. Even if the grass wasnât greener anywhere else, at least it would be different grass. And different was all you were asking for.
You were snapped out of your thoughts by the thunderous roar of an engine, deep and rumbling, shaking the stillness of the road. A semi. Your heart leapt, both with hope and a twinge of unease. Youâd heard the stories, truck drivers were lonely old men whoâd fuck anything with a heartbeat, and even that was a stretch. The thought made your stomach twist, but desperation outweighed caution.
Throwing your arm out again, thumb raised high, you focused on the massive vehicle barreling toward you. The sheer size of it was almost intimidating, the largest thing youâd seen on the road. Its grill gleamed in the sunlight like a steel beast, and you could already hear the hiss of brakes as it began to slow down.
This was it. Maybe luck was finally on your sideâor maybe you were about to make the worst mistake of your life. Either way, it wasnât like you had much to lose.
The semi groaned to a stop a few yards ahead of you, its engine idling. The driverâs side door creaked open, and out stepped a man, an old man, just as youâd expected.
His hair was almost completely gray, though uneven splotches of the lighter color dotted his scruffy beard like it couldnât decide whether to age gracefully or not.
The glare of the sun bounced off the truck, making it hard to get a clear look at him, but you could tell enough. He was much larger than you, his frame broad and solid like heâd spent his life lifting things far heavier than the backpack you hauled. His hair had a slight curl to it, messy and unkempt, like he hadnât seen a comb in days.
He tilted his head toward the passenger side, gesturing with his chin as he spoke. His voice was deep, slow, and unmistakably southern.
"Well, donât just stand there, girl. You need a ride or what?"
There wasnât much kindness in his tone, but there wasnât any malice, either. Just a bluntness that matched the heat of the day. Your hesitation lingered for a moment before you nodded, swallowing the lump in your throat.
You all but scaled up the side of the truck, your legs shaky from a mix of exhaustion and the strain of hauling yourself up. The heat of the day clung to you, making every movement feel heavier than it should have. By the time you managed to get one foot inside, your muscles were screaming in protest.
The older man was already back in his seat, one wrist draped lazily over the steering wheel. He chewed on a wad of tobacco, the sound wet and unmannered as he watched you crawl in with a measured gaze. His eyes flickered up and down your figure, lingering just long enough to make your skin crawl. You swore you saw his hand shift subtly, adjusting himself as a low groan escaped your lips from the effort.
You settled into the passenger seat, the cracked leather sticking to your bare thighs. His stare lingered for a moment too long at the way they expanded before he finally spit into an old plastic bottle by his side.
âWhere ya headinâ, sweetheart?â he drawled, his lips curling into a half-smirk that didnât reach his eyes.
Now that the sun was no longer blinding you, you could finally get a good look at him. To your surprise, he wasnât all that bad-looking. In fact, he was quite handsome in a rugged, weathered sort of way. His deep chocolate-brown eyes had a sad look to them, like they had seen more than they cared to share. His nose was prominent, giving his face a bold, defined structure that worked with the lines etched into his skin. Those wrinkles, instead of detracting from his appearance like you'd expect them too, seemed to enhance his features.
Your eyes flicked to his hands resting on the wheel. They were large, rough-looking, the scarred, calloused kind of hands that did hard labor. An old, scratched watch clung to his wrist, the leather strap worn and glass cracked, but still functional.
Practical, like him, you figured.
Despite the circumstances, you found yourself momentarily distracted by his appearance.
âWell?â he asked again, the smirk on his face still lingering as he spit tobacco into his bottle. âWhere ya headed?â
You hesitated, your fingers gripping the edge of the seat. âAnywhere but here,â you muttered, your voice low but firm.
He chuckled at that, a low rumble that seemed to reverberate through the cab. âFair enough. Lucky for you, I ainât goinâ anywhere near here for a good long while. Buckle up, sweetheart.â
You slid your backpack off your shoulders, letting it rest on your lap as your fingers found the charms hanging from the zippers. You twisted them absentmindedly, trying to occupy your mind and ignore the creeping weight of his gaze. The truck didn't move. Confused, you glanced at the gear shift, expecting to see his hand on it. Instead, his hand rested on his thigh, his fingers tapping lazily against his jeans.
Looking up, you caught him staring at you again, his dark eyes locked on yours for a moment before shifting downward. He sighed, tilting his head slightly like he was deciding what to do next. Without saying a word, he leaned toward you.
Your breath hitched as he closed the space between you, his face so close you could almost feel the faint stubble on his jaw and the silver strands in his hair. His arm brushed your shoulder as he reached for your seatbelt.
"Seatbelt's stuck," he muttered, though you hadn't even tried to buckle it yourself. His large hands gripped the strap and gave it a few tugs, his breath fanning across your cheek as he grunted, the plastic clicked before the webbing slid free and he pulled it across your chest.
The motion seemed smooth at first, but you stiffened when his knuckles grazed the curve of your breast. He didn't pause or acknowledge it. His gaze wasn't on the seatbelt or even his hands, it was fixed lower, right where the strap pressed against your chest. His eyes lingered there shamelessly.
He adjusted the strap, tugging it tighter against your chest, his fingers brushing over the swell more than once. The way he moved was deliberate, too slow to be casual, like he was testing how far he could push before you said something.
It didn't feel accidental, but it wasn't obvious enough for you to call him out on it, either. Your throat tightened, and you froze, unsure whether to flinch or let him finish.
âThere,â he muttered, his voice low and rough, as he clicked the belt into place. For a moment, he didnât move, his face lingering close enough for you to see the faint lines around his eyes and the uneven streaks of gray in his beard. Then, without a word, he leaned back into his seat with a grunt, as though the small task had been a chore.
His hand moved to the gear shift, and the truck rumbled forward, pulling onto the road with a jolt. âCanât have you flyinâ out the windshield,â he said, his voice laced with dry humor.
You didnât respond, your heart still racing from the unnecessary closeness. Staring out the window, you gripped the straps of your backpack tightly, trying to shake off the lingering feeling of his hands, unease prickling along your skin.
Joel glanced at the cracked dashboard clock, tapping it lightly with his knuckle as if that would somehow make the time change. "Weâll probably hit a truck stop in a few hours," he said, his voice breaking the long silence in the cab.
He finally broke the silence with a grunt and a glance at the dashboard. ââBout two âtil we hit the next one,â he said, shifting in his seat and rolling his neck like it ached. âGonna pull in there, grab some food. Might get a room if the lot ainât full.â
You didnât look at him, just nodded a little, eyes fixed on the streak of pavement disappearing beneath the truck. âOkay.â
He glanced at you then, like he was waiting for more. When you didnât say anything, he added, âThey got showers too, yâknow. Clean ones. Not five-star or nothinâ, but they get the job done.â
âCool,â you murmured, trying to sound neutral, like you werenât clocking every word.
Then he smirked a littleâjust a flicker, barely there, but you caught it. âDonât worry, you can have your own bed,â he said, voice low, tone meant to be reassuring but sitting wrong in your gut. âUnless, uh... youâd rather save a few bucks.â
You turned to look at him, your expression unreadable. âIâve got cash,â you said, flatly.
âDidnât mean nothinâ by it,â Joel said with a chuckle, eyes flicking to your chest again, not even subtle about it this time. âJust jokinâ around.â
You looked away, jaw tightening.
He scratched his beard, shifting in his seat again. âYouâre real quiet,â he said after a moment. âKinda figured a girl like youâd be more talkative.â
âA girl like me?â you asked, without looking at him.
âYeah,â he drawled, his tone casual as his fingers drummed against the steering wheel. âCâmon you ain't exactly dressed for church, honey.â He turned to you with a grin.
You rolled your eyes before you forced yourself to focus on the landscape outside, the golden hues of the setting sun casting long shadows across the empty fields. But even as you tried to tune him out, you could feel his gaze darting toward you. It wasnât constant, but it was enough to set your nerves on edgeâquick, almost imperceptible glances at your legs, your chest, the curve of your neck.
Every time you caught him, he shifted slightly, like he hadnât been looking at all. His fingers rubbed idly against his thigh, the movement subtle but deliberate.
âDonât get too quiet on me now,â he said after a moment, his voice breaking the uneasy silence. âA guy can only handle so much quiet before he starts gettinâ lonely.â
You glanced at him out of the corner of your eye. âIâm just tired,â you muttered, hoping that would be enough to end the conversation.
âTired, huh?â Joelâs smirk widened as he leaned back in his seat, one hand lazily adjusting his belt. âBet youâve had a long day, stickinâ that pretty thumb out on the highway. Lucky for you I came along. Not everyone out hereâs as friendly as me.â
The way he said âfriendlyâ made your stomach churn. You shifted in your seat, pretending to adjust your backpack as an excuse to look away. âYeah,â you said flatly, unsure of what else to say.
He chuckled again, a deep, gravelly sound that filled the cab. âYou know,â he started, his tone turning thoughtful, âtruck stops ainât so bad. Some of âem even got little diners... Hell, if youâre lucky, you might even find a little entertainment.â
You glanced at him sharply, but he kept his eyes on the road, his expression unreadable. You gritted your teeth, damn religious upbringings, you forced yourself to be polite and dryly humor his conversation. âWhat kind of entertainment?â
Joel shrugged, his fingers still idly tapping his thigh. âDepends on the stop. Some got TVs, little gift shops... and sometimes, you meet interestinâ people. Yâknow, folks passinâ through, lookinâ for a little... company.â
Your pulse quickened, and you swallowed hard, trying to keep your voice steady. âIâm not really looking for company,â you said quickly.
His grin widened, and he let out another low chuckle. âDidnât think you were, sweetheart.â
You turned back to the window, your heart pounding as the shadows outside grew longer. The truck rumbled on, the uneasy tension between you thickening with every mile.
The truckâs turn signal clicked lazily, a rhythmic tick that cut through the hum of the engine as Joel guided the semi off the highway and into the glow of the truck stop.
The lights hit first, flickering fluorescents mounted on leaning poles, casting long shadows across the cracked pavement. The parking lot was littered with rigs and pickups, a few scattered sedans, and the occasional figure ducking in and out of the convenience storeâs heavy glass doors. Beyond that, a rundown diner and a flickering neon sign that buzzed louder than it glowed. It wasnât much, two diesel pumps, a few bent metal benches out front, and a crooked billboard advertising pie that probably hadnât been served fresh since the Reagan administration, and behind it, the shape of a small roadside motel slumped under a sagging roofline.
Joel shifted the truck into park with a heavy hand and let out a grunt, stretching his arms above his head until his back cracked. His faded shirt lifted just enough to reveal a strip of his stomach, leathery and scarred. He caught you looking, not at that, exactly, just observing the place, but he smirked like youâd been staring.
âNot bad, huh?â he said, pulling the key out of the ignition. âCozy little stopover.â
You looked out at the rows of trucks and diesel pumps, trying not to fidget. The stillness inside the cab after the engine died was sudden, as if the noise from the it had been cushioning something you didnât want to feel.
You said nothing, unbuckling your seatbelt with a quick snap and reaching for your backpack, your fingers finding those familiar charms again. You rolled one between your thumb and forefinger, grounding yourself. The tension in your chest hadnât left since you climbed into the truck. If anything, itâd only settled deeper.
Joel opened his door and climbed out with a grunt. âFoodâs better than it looks,â he said over the roar of the diesel engine cooling off. âDinerâs got burgers, eggs, hash. All the heart-attack bullshit you could ever want.â
You followed after a beat, the door heavier than you expected. He waited for you at the base of the steps, one hand resting on the open door like he was holding it open for a date. You stepped down, trying not to flinch as his eyes moved with you, tracking every inch.
You stared past him at the diner, its windows fogged and glowing yellow under too-dim lights. A man smoked on a bench by the door. He looked tired. Everyone here did.
Joel jerked his chin toward the motel attached to the back of the lot. âGonna check if they got any rooms left,â he said, spitting a wad of his chewing tobacco into the dirt. âYou hungry, or what?â
âYeah,â you said, your voice flatter than you intended. âStarving.â
He grinned at that, like it pleased him. âGo on then, I'll meet'cha.â
Inside, the diner smelled like grease and bleach, two things that didnât mix well. The waitress behind the counter didnât look up when you entered, too focused on a crossword puzzle. Joel slid into a booth a few minutes after you had, patting the cracked vinyl across from him.
The seat felt sticky. He leaned back, one arm stretched lazily across the backrest like he owned the place, the other already reaching for a menu he clearly didnât need.
âGo ahead,â he said, nodding at you. âOrder whatever. Iâll cover it.â
You eyed him, unsure if it was kindness or another invisible string. He caught your look and smirked.
âCâmon. Not tryna poison you. Just donât like eatinâ alone.â
You nodded slowly, glancing down at the menu as he watched you over the top of his.
Joel leaned back in the booth, the vinyl seat creaking under his weight. One arm sprawled across the top, the other cradling his plastic cup of water. He let out a long sigh, an exaggerated exhale, like he was trying to be noticed.
âBeen on the road five weeks straight,â he muttered, glancing out the window like he might spot someone he used to know. âStart talkinâ to myself if I donât get some damn conversation.â
You looked up, cautious. He smiled, but it was thin. Forced.
âLife gets quiet when you get to my age. Too damn quiet, sometimes,â he said, fingers tapping idly against the side of his cup. âWife gone. Kids donât call. Truckâs about the only thing still wants me 'round.â
He chuckled softly, but there wasnât much humor in it. More like he expected a certain reaction and didnât care if it was genuine.
âThatâs why I donât mind pickinâ up company when I can,â he added, taking a sip and eyeing you over the rim. âMakes the road feel less... long.â
You didnât respond, just nodded faintly. He didnât seem to careâheâd already settled into his little performance.
âNot askinâ for much,â Joel went on, looking down at his calloused hands. âJust someone to talk to. Hearinâ a pretty voice now and again reminds me Iâm still 'round, yâknow?â
His eyes flicked to your mouth when he said it.
âHell, you donât even gotta talk if you donât want, face's pretty 'nough on its own,â he added with a little grin, eyes crinkling like he was doing you a favor. âIâll just ramble on till I lose my voice. You can pretend I ainât even here.â
You raised an eyebrow. âSeems like you want someone to listen to you talk till your mouth hurts.â
That got a chuckle out of him. âAlright, fair,â he said, scratching at his beard. âI like a little attention. Guilty as charged.â
The waitress came over, tired eyes scanning the table. Joel ordered without looking at the menuââbacon cheeseburger, extra pickles, fries, and a Coke,â before nodding at you to go ahead.
As you gave your order, you could feel his gaze on your face, lingering just a tad too long on your lips when you spoke. When the waitress walked off, Joel leaned back again with a grunt.
âBet you think Iâm some sad old bastard,â he said, smirking.
You tilted your head slightly. âYou donât seem all that sad.â
He laughed again, low and knowing. âDonât gotta be sad to be lonely, darlinâ.â
He said it so easily, like it was the kind of thing heâd said a hundred times before. Like it worked on someone, once.
There was something off about the way he spokeâtoo rehearsed, maybe. Like heâd said this all before. The âpoor old manâ routine. Alone on the road, no family, no one to talk to. It felt... thin.
Still, something about it tugged at you.
Maybe it was the way he sighed after every sentence, like he didnât expect you to care. Maybe it was the worn in look behind his eyes.
You glanced down at your lap, your fingers twisting the zipper of your backpack until it bit into your skin.
You knew better. You really did. People didnât get like this for no reason. Men didnât hand out kindness for free. But even as your gut whispered caution, another part of you, smaller, quieter, felt bad for him.
He wasnât pushing anything. Not yet. And you were tired. Not just from standing on the side of the road, but from months of going nowhere, of waiting for someone, anyone, to see you.
Joel caught your eye again, that half-smile still tugging at the corner of his mouth. âDidnât mean to lay it on thick,â he said, almost sheepish now. âGuess I donât talk to people much these days. Gettin' rusty.â
You tried to smile, but it came out just as performative as his. âItâs fine. I get it.â
He tapped a finger against his glass, his tone softening. âYou runninâ from somethinâ?â he asked, not accusing, just curious.
You hesitated. âNot really. Just⌠done with where I came from.â
Joel nodded like he understood. Maybe he did. âAinât nothinâ wrong with wantinâ out. Some places donât give you much reason to stay.â
His voice was quieter now, less performative. For a second, it felt more real. Or maybe you just wanted it to.
You studied him for a beat longerâhis hands, his eyes, the worn creases in his skin. You could still feel the phantom touch of his fingers pulling your seatbelt earlier, still see the way his gaze had lingered a second too long.
But right now, he looked tired. Lonely. And something in you, despite everything, softened just a little.
âI appreciate the ride,â you said quietly. âReally.â
Joel looked at you for a second, then nodded once and leaned back again. âAinât no trouble,â he said. âLike I said, road gets real damn quiet.â
You both fell into silence after that, the kind that wasnât entirely comfortable.
Heâd tried to make small talk over greasy plates and chipped mugs of diner coffeeâasked about your favorite music, your family, whether you had a boyfriend âwaitinâ around somewhere.â He framed it as harmless banter, chuckling over his fries, talking with his mouth half full like it wasnât meant to mean anything.
You mostly nodded, gave short answers. Your appetite had all but vanished the longer his eyes lingered on you.
They didnât wander constantly, Joel wasnât that obvious. But every so often, as you cut into your food or brushed hair out of your face, youâd catch him watching you instead of eating. His gaze would always drop quickly, back to his plate or the tabletop, but the silence between those glances felt thicker each time.
You told yourself it was nothing. You told yourself you were tired, overthinking.
But by the time he paid the bill and motioned for you to follow him outside, your stomach had twisted into something tight and uneasy.
The air had cooled a little with the setting sun. Crickets had started their nightly hum, and the truck lot buzzed quietly with the sound of engines cooling and the occasional burst of laughter from inside the diner. But your ears were filled with the sound of your own footsteps following Joelâs.
He led you past the edge of the lot, toward a squat, single-story row of motel rooms behind the diner. Faded numbers were bolted onto each door, and the porch lights above them flickered weakly, as if unsure whether to bother staying lit.
Joel stopped in front of one, jingling a key in his hand. âOnly had one left,â he said, turning the knob. âTold the guy itâs just for a few hoursâ shut-eye. Not like Iâm settlinâ in.â
Your heart skipped. Just one?
The room door creaked open. Joel stepped inside first, tossing the key on the nightstand and flipping on the light. A yellow glow filled the room, bouncing off stained wallpaper and a twin bed with a faded comforter. The A/C unit in the window rattled weakly.
The moment you stepped into the room, something felt different.
Not in the air itself, the motel room still smelled like bleach and dust, but Joelâs presence had changed.
He didnât say much after unlocking the door. Just let it swing open, stepped inside like he owned the place, and gave the room a lazy once-over. Gone was the exaggerated sighing, the talk of loneliness, the half-hearted chuckles meant to make you feel bad for him. Now he moved slower, more comfortably, like someone whoâd settled into something.
You werenât sure what.
He let the door close behind you with a click that made your pulse hitch. He didnât bolt it, he didnât need to. The message was already clear.
Joel walked over to the table near the bed and dropped the room key with a soft clink. His hand hovered for a second, then he sat in the chair near the window, stretching out with a tired grunt. One arm slung over the backrest like he was getting ready to stay awhile.
âNot bad,â he muttered, adjusting the waistband of his jeans before running a hand through his graying hair. âCould be worse.â
You didnât answer. You were still standing near the door, backpack hugged to your chest like a shield.
Joelâs eyes flicked up to you. Slower now. Less polite. Like he didnât feel the need to pretend anymore.
"You can sit, yâknow,â he said. âAinât gonna bite.â
He grinned at his own joke, but it didnât reach his eyes. They were darker now. Not cold, just⌠sure. Like whatever this was, it was already decided in his head.
You moved slowly, choosing the edge of the bed farthest from himâyou wished the separate beds calmed your nerves, they didn't. The springs creaked as you sat, and the sound felt too loud. You kept your backpack in your lap, your hands gripping the strap.
Joel let his gaze linger for a moment longer, then leaned his head back and looked up at the ceiling. âYâknow, most folks would be grateful by now,â he said idly, like he was commenting on the weather. âFree ride, free food, place to rest. Ainât a bad deal.â
Your spine stiffened slightly. There was no edge in his voice, no threat. But there was something underneath it. Something that made your stomach coil.
âI am grateful,â you said carefully.
âMm.â He didnât sound entirely convinced. âYouâre just real quiet is all. Hard to read.â
You didnât reply.
Joel scratched at his jaw. âGuess itâs just been a while since I had company.â He looked at you again, head tilted, lips just barely curved. âItâs nice. Real nice. You're nice.â
You felt your shoulders tense. He wasnât doing anything, not really, but you could feel it building. The shift. The subtle way he took up more space now, like just getting you through that door had changed everything.
Joel stood up, stretching again with a low groan, and walked toward the mini fridge. He bent to open it, empty, but lingered there a second longer than needed. When he straightened, he looked at you again. Still that same expression. Casual. Relaxed. Like this was just the natural next step in whatever he thought was happening here.
âIâm gonna go grab us some drinks,â he said, voice lighter now, maybe even cheerful. âYou want soda, water, somethinâ stronger?â
You blinked. âCokeâs fine.â
He nodded, already halfway to the door. He paused, hand on the knob, then turned back.
âYou lock that behind me if it makes you feel better,â he said, his voice quiet. âBut Iâll be back in five. Donât go disappearinâ on me.â
He winked. Not playful. Not mean. Just⌠like a joke he thought you were in on, even if you didnât know the punchline yet.
Then the door clicked shut behind him, and you were alone.
The silence returned.
You sat still, backpack clutched to your chest, heart pounding a little faster than before. You werenât sure what Joel thought this was. But for the first time, you were sure of one thing:
He thought he was owed something.
You werenât sure why you stayed.
Maybe it was pride. Maybe it was the weight of your backpack digging into your spine for hours that made you too tired to run again. Maybe it was something worse, something harder to admit. That small, scared voice that told you: This is what you asked for, isnât it? A ride. A room. A way out.
You told yourself it was fine.
But when Joel came back a few agonizing minutes later, holding a single room-temperature soda like it was some kind of gift, that thin illusion started to crack.
"Vending machineâs shot to hell," he said, tossing it onto the end of the bed like he expected you to jump at it. âStill good, though. S'just warm.â
You nodded, reaching to take a grab the bottle. You tried not to acknowledge the way your heart sped up as you leaned closer to him, your hand shaking.
Joel didnât seem to notice, or didnât care. He kicked off his boots, grunted as he lowered himself into the creaking chair near the TV, and grabbed the remote from the armrest.
The television flashed on, its speakers crackling as static fizzled into some old cable rerun. The volume was too loud for the tiny room, but Joel didnât adjust it. He just leaned back and settled in, letting the laugh track fill the silence like white noise drowning out your thoughts.
You nerves were so shot, you hadnât noticed the bottle hadn't hissed when you twisted the cap.
When your leg started to shake it was just a tremor at first, barely noticeable. But it spread, up your thigh, into your stomach, into your chest. Your heart fluttered under your ribs, fluttered wrong. Your throat was too dry. The lights were too yellow. The TV too loud. His breathing, even and steady from across the room, was the only rhythm that didn't match your panic.
You stood quickly, too quickly.
âBathroom,â you muttered, grabbing your bag without really knowing why. Just needing it close.
Joel gave a vague nod, his eyes barely lifting from the screen. âTake your time.â
The bathroom was even smaller than you expected. Dim light. Cracked tile. A fan in the ceiling that buzzed faintly behind the walls. You closed the door and leaned against it, gripping the edge of the sink with both hands.
Your reflection stared back at you, paler than before. Eyes wide. Lips dry.
You didnât even notice you were crying until the first drop hit the sink.
You werenât scared, not exactly. But something inside you was twisting tight, something old and instinctive that didnât care about politeness or gratitude or second chances. Something that whispered, Leave. Now.
You splashed water on your face. Once. Twice. The cold shocked your nerves, grounding you just a little, enough to breathe. But your hand trembled as you reached for the towel, and you had to brace yourself before you looked in the mirror again.
You stared at your own eyes for a long time.
You could still leave. You hadnât unpacked. Your legs worked fine. The door wasnât locked.
But outside that door, Joel waited. Not a stranger anymore. Not really. And that was somehow worse.
You dried your face, turned off the faucet, and in front the door of the bathroom for a beat, staring at the crack under it, the yellow-lit room shared the space of flickering blue light from the TV.
âYou alright in there, sweetheart?â he asked, his voice warm again, sounding gentle despite how he'd had to hollar over the TV.
You took a breath. Then another. You told yourself you were overreacting.
People were weird, sure. Joel was⌠weird. But maybe thatâs all it was. Maybe your nerves were shot from being on the road, from standing in the sun for hours, from not eating enough. You were tired. That made everything feel worse.
One night. Get some rest. Ditch him in the morning.
That was the plan. Simple. Safe.
You pushed open the door and stepped out into the dim light of the room again, trying to slide your expression back into something neutral. Something nice.
You gave him a polite, too-sweet smile in return, it was automatic, from that church-girl buried deep in your gut. You didn't owe him anything, but you still felt like you had to at least perform gratitude. Like that was part of the deal.
It was tight-lipped, polite, instinctual. The same smile youâd been trained to give since you were a kid, the smile that didnt reach your eyes, that said Iâm fine, thank you, donât worry about me.
He smiled back.
Not kindly. Not broadly. Just this thin, smug little thing tugging at the corner of his mouth.
He tried to play it off like nothing. Reached for the remote. Adjusted his posture. But it didnât go unnoticed, not by you. Joel looked over at you from the chair, his arms resting behind his head now, relaxed.
You crossed the room, easing yourself onto the top of the bed. The blanket was old and dusty and reeked of stale detergent. Still, it beat the side of the highway. You opened the Coke and took a sip. Flat. Warm. Still, it gave your hands something to do.
On the TV, that same crusty sitcom was still going. Joel had turned the volume up since you'd gone. The laugh track punched through the tiny speakers like a drill to the temple. The jokes came rapid-fireâloud, overacted, dated.
You werenât really listening until one of the charactersâa middle-aged man with a gut and a mustacheâjoked about slipping a woman something to make her âact with less prudence.â The studio audience howled. His female co-star gave him a fake slap on the shoulder with an annoyed glare. The scene moved on.
You didnât laugh. You didnât even smile.
Joel did.
Not loud. Just a low huff of a chuckle, amused. Right in time with the laugh track. Like it had hit a nerve in him. The wrong nerve.
You stiffened. Your spine straightened just a little more. You didnât look at him.
It was the type of joke that made men laugh in bars when theyâd already had too much and werenât watching their tone anymore.
Joelâs laughter stopped as quickly as it came. But when you risked a glance, you saw it, that same smug curl at the edge of his mouth, his tongue poking briefly at the inside of his cheek like he was chewing on something he wasnât going to say out loud.
You looked away.
Itâs the show, you told yourself. Itâs the show. Heâs just laughing because itâs on.
But the hairs on your arms were standing up anyway.
You shifted around on the stiff mattress for what mustâve been the better part of an hour. The bed creaked with every movement, the scratchy comforter brushing against your skin like old sandpaper. You kept changing positionsâlegs folded under you, then stretched out, then pulled back in. Nothing felt comfortable. Nothing felt settled.
You kept reaching for the bottle of Coke on the side table, fingers brushing it absentmindedly before pulling back. The ritual repeated over and over until finally, you just brought it into your lap. The half-full bottle had lost what little fizz it had, but you held onto it anyway. The weight of it in your hands was something solid, something to focus on. It gave your fingers something to do besides twist the hem of your shirt or pick at your skin.
Joel hadnât said much. The flicker of the TV lit up his face in little bursts. Every so often, heâd glance over at you. Not long enough to say anything. Just enough to make your body flare up with heat as your blood rushed.
You tried to focus on the show, but your brain had gone fuzzy. Not foggy, exactly, but distant. Like your thoughts were moving through syrup. Your limbs felt a little heavy, your eyes dry.
The Coke sat in your lap like a small weight. When you went to take another sip, you hesitated, your hand lifting slower than you expected. The bottle felt heavier than before. Not by much. Just enough for you to notice.
You frowned a little, blinked once, then twice. Maybe it was exhaustion. Your nerves had been running hot all day, your body could just be crashing. That had to be it.
Still⌠something felt off. You gripped the bottle a little tighter.
Your head rolled slightly on your shoulders as you tried to blink the haze away. You gave a small shake, like maybe you could rattle the exhaustion out of your skull, but it clung to youâdraped heavy over your limbs like a damp blanket.
You werenât that tired.
At least, you hadnât been.
You blinked again. The TV was still flickering, the showâs punchlines rolling out like clockwork. Joel chuckled along with the laugh track, low and content. Like nothing was wrong. Like everything was exactly the way he wanted it.
You didnât look at him. You just focused on the bottle in your hands.
It wasnât spinning, but it felt like it could be. Your fingers curled a little tighter around it as if that might tether you to the present. You told yourself again that you hadnât eaten properly. That this was just your body protesting the long day. That the motel room was warm, and Joelâs TV was loud, and your senses were frayed.
But still⌠your skin was buzzing. Not panic, just static. An edge.
You reached for your phone without thinking, fingertips fumbling slightly with the zipper of your bag. You didnât even know who youâd text if you needed help, but the need to do something was rising in your chest, your instincts growing louder, like background noise you could no longer ignore.
âFeelinâ alright, sweetheart?â Joel asked suddenly, not looking at you.
You jumped slightly at his voice, your fingers freezing over your backpack. You glanced at him.
His eyes were still on the screen, but his smirk was back. Not wide, not obvious, just there. Subtle, like he was hiding something behind it and didnât care enough to try hard.
âIâm fine,â you said automatically, your voice quieter than you meant it to be.
Joel made a little humming sound, like he didnât quite believe you, but he didnât press. Just leaned back further in his chair, exhaling like a man pleased with how the day turned out.
You turned your eyes to the bathroom door again.
It wasnât far. You could go in, close the door, lock it. Just for a minute. Just to breathe.
You planted your hands on the edge of the bed and pushed yourself up. Your legs didnât respond the way you expected.
For a split second, it felt like they werenât even attached. Your knees nearly gave out as you stood, a sharp, disconnected jolt rushing through your lower body like the numbness you get from sitting too long in one position, but worse. There was no familiar prickle of circulation returning, no tingling promise of sensation coming back. Just absence.
And something about that absence made your chest tighten.
You reached out, grabbing the wall for balance. The Coke bottle in your hand slipped from your fingers.
Behind you, Joelâs chuckle drifted lazily through the static of the television. Not loud. Just enough to make the air feel thinner.
âYou alright there?â he drawled, voice a little too casual. A little too slow.
You didnât look at him. âYeah. Just, stiff legs.â
Your voice sounded strange even to your own ears, it was muted, distant. You could feel his eyes on your back now, tracking your movement more attentively than before.
You didnât turn.
Didnât say anything else.
You pressed your hands against the rough motel wall, the chipped paint cool against your skin. Your legs felt weak beneath you, shaking softly, and you couldnât seem to make them move.
Your breath came fast and shallow, chest tightening with each inhale. The vintage chair creaked faintly nearby, a reminder that Joel was still in the room, still watching.
You didnât look over.
Your eyes darted to the flickering TV, its pale light casting long shadows on the cracked wallpaper. It buzzed softly, filling the silence with pointless noise.
Maybe not so pointless.
You could hear him settle out of his chair, the scrape of fabric on denim. Joelâs footsteps shuffled behind you, slow and deliberate.
âEverything alright, sweetheart?â His voice was low, smooth, and far too casual. Almost mocking. It didn't sound like a question.
You didnât answer. You couldnât.
Instead, you pressed your palm harder against the wall, willing the tremors in your legs to stop. But the more you willed it, the worse it felt, like your body was betraying you, leaving you trapped between fight or flight, but doing neither.
You swallowed the lump rising in your throat, biting your lip to keep from shaking or crying. Your heart hammered so loud you were sure he could hear it.
You wanted to run. To scream. To disappear.
But you stayed still.
You didnât realize he was approaching again until the floor creaked just to your left. A soft sound, but close. Too close.
âHey, câmon now,â Joel said, voice gentle in a way that made your stomach twist. âYou donât look too good. Maybe you should lie back down.â
His hand reached out, palm warm and rough as it hovered near your arm. Not yet. The faux tenderness in his tone didnât sit right with the look in his eyes. They were too alert, too interested.
âIâm fine,â you said quickly, though your voice was hoarse and small. You hated how it sounded.
âYou sure? âCause youâre swayinâ a little.â His hand landed on your arm this time, solid and steady. But he didnât grip.
That should have made it better. It didnât.
It was the stillness in his hand that made your skin crawl, how his thumb pressed, then circled slowly, like he was mapping out your pulse.
âCâmon,â he said again, guiding you gently, not forcing, but not offering space to resist. âJust for a minute. Youâll feel better when ya do.â
When... not if.
You let yourself be led. Partly because your legs still felt unsteady. Partly because you didnât know what would happen if you pulled away.
He walked you the few steps to the bed, hand never leaving your arm, and helped you sit. His other hand reached for your shoulder, too familiar now, the way it rested there a beat too long.
You flinched.
Joel paused, then gave a soft chuckle under his breath. âEasy now. Ainât tryinâ to scare you."
But when he leaned in to adjust the pillow behind you, his knuckles dragged against your collarbone. His other hand hovered lower on your side, not quite touching your hipâbut close enough that the heat of it made you recoil inside.
âYouâre all tense,â he murmured, gaze slipping down your frame like a slow leak. âJust breathe, alright? Youâre safe.â
The worst part was how convincing his voice sounded.
But you knew better.
Your body knew better.
You sank down against the bed with a strange sort of heaviness, like your own limbs no longer belonged to you. The mattress dipped beneath your weight, a dry, musty scent rising up from the sheets.
You tried to sit upright, to keep your spine straight, but your body leaned without permission, your muscles slackened under the weight of your own breath.
Joel didnât go back to the chair.
You heard the soft groan of the mattress again, felt the subtle shift beside you before your eyes caught up. He sat on the edge of the bed now. Right next to you.
Not touching, but close.
You turned your head toward him slowly, eyes trying to focus. Your brain felt like it was wrapped in cotton, every thought dragging through molasses.
âWhyâŚâ you started, but the rest of the sentence didnât come.
Your tongue felt thick. Heavy. Wrong.
He smiled, small, faint. You might've miss it if you werenât looking. But you were looking. Because watching him felt like the only thing tethering you now.
âYou okay, sugar?â he asked again, quieter this time. Closer. He didnât sound worried. Not really.
You tried to speak, but your words came out slurred, barely above a whisper. âMâfineâŚâ
It took all your strength just to swallow the lump in your throat, even that felt like work. You could feel your pulse behind your eyes now, slow and sluggish.
Joel didnât move away.
His arm rested across his lap, hand curled on his thigh. The same hand that had guided you here. The same hand that lingered too long.
His eyes werenât on your face anymore.
You saw that.
You felt that.
Still, you couldnât quite pull your body back. Couldnât seem to make your limbs respond.
You were here. And so was he.
And something deep in your gut told you the space between you wouldnât stay empty much longer.
Joel's calloused hands reached toward the strap of your bra that had peaked out from your shirt. He lifted it in his fingers almost carefully, letting it lead up to the top of your bra. Your mumbled incoherently at his touch. He shushed you softly.
He didn't speak anymore, he didnt need too. He brought his fingers back up to your collarbone before laying his palm across it, the strap caught between his fingers as he pushed it down your shoulder. His body leaned forward to press his lips to your collarbone. His beard was scruffy and sharp against your soft skin, like needles.
His lips were dry and cracked, the wetness from his saliva being the only softness. He pecked at the bone a few times before his mouth wrapped around it, sucking.
Your hands weakly moved to his shoulders, but his hands patiently wrapped around your wrists, pushing them to sit by your head. The bed dented down. Your writhed weakly. He continued sucking and nipping at the spot till a dark mark appeared.
The knot in your stomach churned as he licked over where he bit to soothe your skin, his beard felt like a hundred tiny needles digging into you. Red appeared around the purple. His thumbs pressed into your wrists, feeling your pulse as you whimpered. His mouth lifted for a moment, his breath hot on your irritated skin.
"Your hearts finally slowin' down sweetheart, ain't losin' ya am I?" He huffed with a humor only he had. His mouth wrapped around the mark again, his tounge tracing your collarbone as he hummed.
He hadnât lied, your heart finally slowed, but the panic stayed lodged in your chest. Each beat hammered against your ribs, like it was trying to tear its way out and leave you behind. The thump in your chest spread your blood throughout your body, heat rising on your skin.
His hands werenât tight on your wrists, his thumbs traced slow circles on your pulsepoints before sliding into your palms. His mouth kept defacing your shoulder. There was no violence in it, if anything, he almost seemed to be comforting you.
You couldnât decide if that made it better, or worse, or if it changed anything at all.
Your knees dragged upward in another weak attempt to slip free, but your bones felt like wet cement, heavy and useless. You turned your head away with a thin whine, your body mustering what little control it had to spill tears that slid into your ears. Your chest heaved as you writhed.
Joel shushed you without cruelty, his hum low and pitying, the vibration running from his throat into your collarbone. His mouth scattered pecks over the marks fresh on your neck and shoulders before he propped himself on an elbow, still looming above you. One calloused hand smeared the tears across your right cheek while his lips caught the ones on the leftâand you swore his tongue slipped out to taste the salt straight from your skin.
âDonât cry, sugarpie⌠I ainât gonna hurt you, promise. Didnât mean to upset you none. I just get real lonely out on the road, is all.â
He looked and sounded so genuine, like he truly believed every word he spoke. His lips brushed your ear when he talked, his voice almost swallowed by the blare of the TVâand now you understood why it was so loud. Not that it mattered. The only sounds you could make were thin, mousey whines, easy to mistake for the creaks of the old bedframe or an actual mouse.
Your lips trembled as you turned your face from his hands, eyelids pressed tight. The only refuge you had was to pretend, if only for a moment, that none of this was real.
âHey now⌠look at me. Let me see those pretty eyes, baby.â His voice stayed soft, but there was an edge of annoyance beneath it.
When you didnât obey, his hand closed around your face, squeezing your cheeks until your lips puckered. He tilted your head toward him, but your eyes stayed shut. He clicked his tongue, then used his other hand to peel one eyelid open. Your iris was barely a ring around your blown pupil, whatever heâd given you was already winding through your blood, sinking heavy into your bones.
He smiled softly. âThere she isâŚâ he whispered, letting your eyelid flutter shut as his hand slipped into your hair, fingers combing slow like he meant to soothe. âPretty, pretty girl.â
His lips met your forced pout in a mockery of a kiss, his tongue brushing gently against them, coaxing for a response you never gave. When you didn't reciprocate, he nipped at your lips gently.
He pulled back just enough to watch your face, your eyes still screwed shut, leaving you with nothing but the ghost of his touch. His hand hovered at your shoulder, and he grinned at the weak tremors rippling through your body. Slowly, he let his fingertips trail down to your hip, slipping beneath the hem of your shorts to trace the waistband, his blunt nail dragging a cruel line across your pelvis.
"It's okay, hun." He whispered as he slipped another finger into the waistband.
You felt his hand turn in your shorts, the pads of his fingers now touching you. You tensed but made no move to resist, not that you could. His hand slowly, painstakingly, moved deeper into your shorts. You quietly cried as his middle and pointer finger dragged across your clothed clit before it was quickly replaced by his palm, fingers down to your slit. Your heard a gravelly groan reach out of his throat.
"Fuck sweetie, you're soaking through your panties." He chuckled near the end of his words before exhaling heavily.
Your eyes wanted to shoot open, but only managed to lift with a furrowed brow. His eyes met yours, his bottom lip between his stained teeth. Confusion was painted on your features.
"Yeah baby, you're panties are fucking ruined." He huffed, his palm pressing onto your swollen clit.
A humiliating gasp was ripped from you as more tears fell from your eyes. No, no no no...
"Mhm, shit baby, see? Your body knows I'm not hurting ya, what was all that fuss about?"
The pads of his fingers brushed over your clothes slit, the wetness became more obvious as you heard a sickening squelch when he pressed them into your sopping hole over your panties.
"Ah... Joel.." you cried, your voice never felt smaller.
His hot breath fanned your face with a pant, "Yeah, baby, say my name."
You shook your head weakly, your eyes traveling down to where his hand disappeared into your shorts. You remembered you had hands as you tried to push his hand away. In your haze, you accidently pushed him closer, letting his palm rub harder into your clit.
You wanted to puke when your felt a shot of pleasure crack through you, you wanted to die when you felt your hips roll into his hand. Your voice cracked with a wordless 'No'.
Joel beamed, "You got such a needy pussy, baby... look at her, she wants so bad. She knows whats best for you... she just wanna feel good."
You grit your teeth as your hips rolled again, his hand meeting it with a circle of his own. Your nails dug into his forearm, but they barely made an indent. You felt his leg cross over yours as he hummed your thigh. His cock was hard in his jeans, the bulge large and visable despite your brain fog and the dark room.
His hand left your shorts for a moment, and you felt a wave of relief before you felt them fall straight to the button on them.
He unbuttoned them with one hand as he groaned, lifting himself to his knees. He grabbed at the waistband at both your hip bones and tore them down. You tried to cross your legs but one of his hands met your thigh and shoved it to the side, just long enough to get your shorts off.
He brought both hands to the back of your knees, dragging you down for his thighs to meet the back of yours. He spread you open and stared down like he was holding his fridge open, deciding what he wanted to feast on. He barely felt the tug of you trying to close them. In a last ditch effort you moved your hands to cover your crotch, and that's when you felt it.
You were completely soaked through, the wet spot making your white panties transparent. It was like something inside you broke at that moment. Your body had decided to completely betray you.
As if he noticed you resolve falter, he brought his hands to the side of your panties and ripped. One side, then the other. Throwing them across the room to land somewhere on the carpet. You bit into your hands as you stopped pulling away. Eyes distant but open, he would take it.
His hands lifted your shirt over your bra before he shoved that up too. It squeezed over the top of your breasts almost painfully.
"God bless you, baby... perfect fucking pussy," his hand slapped it as he leaned forward, "and perfect fucking tits."
His mouth wrapped around your nipple, tounge circling it wildly as he sucked the nub between his teeth. Your body reacted how it wanted, and you could only whimper and whine pathetically. He rested above you on one forearm while his other hand met your leaking slit again. His thick middle finger dragged up and down it, your wetness coating the pad. He brought it to you clit, circling slowly before he flicked it.
He moaned around you nipple when you jumped with a cry. The more your body reacted the more he seemed to lose it. He switched to the other nipple, "Gotta give her some lovin' too." He chuckled.
The actions repeated for a few minutes you think, your perception of time got foggy with each circle, flick, and switch.
The vibration from his groans tickled your breast, making your back arch further into his mouth. He was almost fucking drooling, copious amounts of spit shined your chest like you'd been rubbed down in oil.
He abruptly moved down, his hand leaving to grip your hips, holding them down as he settled between your legs. He licked a long stripe across your slit, shaking his head side to side as the muscle circled your clit before he sunk it into your organ. His hands moved to your chest as he tounge fucked you, fast and unrelenting. He only lifted from you to spit on you pussy before he flattened his tounge across your entire slit and diving back in.
Every groan and moan from his vibrated against your clit and the inside of you. You felt breathless and violated. And when a knot formed in your stomach that you couldn't decipher at first due to the sinking dread that had settled there, it was too late.
With a broken cry, you threw your head back as your legs shook around his head. His voice raised over the tv for a moment with how loud he growled against your pussy.
He detached from you before appearing in front of your eyes and shoving his hot tounge down your throat. You grimaced as you tasted yourself, your pussy still throbbing from your orgasm.
"Sweet as cherry pie, baby." He mumbled against your mouth. His tounge dragged along the inside of your mouth, just another hole to him. Along the ridges of the roof of your mouth to the back of your teeth.
He sucked on your tounge harshly before unlatching, raising back on his knees again with a hushed 'Fuck...' undoing his belt. The clink of metal echoed, as he stood. He didn't bother taking his jeans off, just shoved them down enough to release his raging cock.
He walked to the side of the bed, grabbing your arm and dragging you closer. His dick hung heavy as it twitched, face level with you. You closed your mouth tightly and turned your head, only to met with a gentle but forceful tap from the back of his hand. The same hand grabbed your jaw as he leaned down to meet your eyes.
"I'm only gonna say this once, you don't fucking bite. I don't wanna hurt you, sugar, but you bite my fucking dick and I'll knock your teeth out." He said it sternly with raised brows.
You only looked at him fearfully before he spoke again, "Do you understand?" You nodded.
He loosened his grip and brought his thumbs to the sides of your mouth, forcing it open. "Relax your throat, sweetheart. Be good for me, m'kay?"
What else could you do other then what you were told?
The tip leaked as he dragged it across your lips before he got an idea, backing up and manhandling you to lay with your head upside down on the edge. He returned to your lips, a couple heavy slaps of his cock landed on your cheek before he told you to stick your tounge out, and he slid into your warm waiting mouth.
He groaned as he moved till his balls touched your nose, stilling there for a moment as you suffocated. You whimpered around him as you brought your hands up, "Breath through your nose, sweetheart." He instructed.
He pulled out leaving just the tip in your mouth before he slowly bottomed out again. He didnt waste time changing the pace, his hips thrusted steadily. Drool dripped from your mouth as he fucked it, his heavy, twitching balls smacking your nose each time. He brought his hands to take your wrists, settling them on your stomach as he leaned forward so he could thrust harder. He panted and groaned, cursing occasionally inbetween.
One of his hands left your wrist to smack your pussy once before he lifted himself. Bringing one knee to the mattress, he stood as he thrusted downward into your throat. His hand enveloped it with a growl when he saw the shift inside of it. His eyes were locked on the bulge that appeared in your throat when he shoved it down.
His thrusts became sloppy as he got louder. He lean forward again, fully pounding your throat before hot seed filled it. You felt it hit your uvula in bursts, forcing you to cough and gag, your body desperately trying to suck in air through your filled neck. He stilled at the deepest point, his tip twitching to hit the back of your throat as you felt his balls tighten against your nose. He exhaled roughly before giving you one more slowly thrust, pulling out.
You gasped desperately, veins bulging in your face and neck. Your eyes were pink and your head was swimming due to it hanging upside down for so long. Spit and snot leaked down from your face along with his cum.
Kneeling next to you, he nuzzled your head with his own with soft shushing. "That's it, breath, honey... You did so good, took it so good. Made me feel so good, baby..." he muttered, kisses moving across your temple.
When your coughing subsided you breathed a sigh of relief that it was over, mumbling incoherently as your brain struggled to process. The fog lifted when you felt his hands around your ankles from the other side of the bed, dragging you to lay on it again. He crawled to join you before twisting you back around so your head was at the pillows.
Cries came more freely now as you saw his still hard cock scoot closer to your pussy. You head turned before narrowing in on a sheet of tablets sitting on the side table he'd been sitting at. Two blue pills missing.
Your throat burned as a weak cry tried to crawl out, but he'd abused it to the point of you loosing your voice. Pathetic squeaks falling from your mouth instead. You felt his cock slap against your pussy, it instinctively pulsed at the pressure. He pressed the tip to your clit, thrusting against it. Your back arched as your hips rolled with his, your brain was so fuzzy you didnt even register the noises spilling from your lips.
The stretch was sudden as he pushed into you. Your lips trembled around him as he slid inside easily. Your spit and already soaked his cock immeasurably, but the lube that leaked from you without permission added to it ease of which he came inside you without friction. You felt impossibly full when his hand came down to push on your lower stomach as he began working.
There was no build up, the speed was set from the jump as he hauled himself over you. His hips met yours with heavy thrusts, pounding into you without thought. The only time he let you breath was when he kneeled again, only to grab the back of your knees and shove them next to you head as he somehow fucked you harder. He felt no need to speak anymore, only occasion growls of how wet you were, which you hadn't needed verbal acknowledgement of. It was clear from the wet slaps that echoed in the room, bouncing off the walls and into your ears as you laid limp and took it.
Your mouth hung open as noises continued to force themselves from your throat, you had been so gone that you didnt flinch when you spit into your mouth, your throat instantly tensing as you swallowed it. You had lost almost all feeling, your hearing muffled, you took no notice of the impending release.
"Fucking shit baby... pussys so fucking tight 'round me... you gonna cum again? Hmm? You love this fucking cock, you know you do. You're body knows you do."
It went in one ear and out the other, you were reduced to a whimpering hole.
You didnt react when he pulled out to flip you onto your stomach, shoving one knee hip while the other stayed straight. He laid atop your seemingly lifeless body as he shoved himself back in and quickly resumed his previous pace. The cupped smacking sound reverberated with his pounding, your voice now muffled by the pillows you faced.
You felt his weight as his chest met your back and he rutted into you. Your fingers twitched with a mix of exhaustion, pleasure, and anxiety. He swiped your hair from your shoulder as he sucked another mark onto you from behind. Your voice raised a pitch as he thrusts began sloppy again.
"You're gonna make me cum again, honey... fuck yeah that's it, you can take it, knew you could." You whimpered as he lifted your hips, shoving you onto him just as harshly as he was fucking you. But you tightend around him all the same.
"Come on, cum with me, baby! Want your pussy to clamp down and suck my cum right out of my cock... milk me fucking dry, baby... lemme fill up that sexy fucking pussy!"
A scream was at the back of your throat as your body jumped like you were electrocuted. It came out as a broken cry as you shook violently. He didn't stop even after your orgasm run its course, only fucked you faster. Your hips pulled away as you mindlessly scrambled away from his unrelenting ones, but you were still under the influence of his roofie, and he was still so much stronger.
And so for another agonizing few minutes you shook and writhed and cried till he bottomed out. Cumming deep inside your abused cunt. You felt the warmth fill you as his tip hit your cervix, it spread quickly down to your opening where it leaked down onto the bed. He let himself to thrust a handful more times as he drained his balls inside of you.
And then he stayed there, his hand lifting your hips to keep it from leaking out. But there was so much, it filled your entire cunt. You felt his hands reached and pinch your slit closed around his cock. His mouth came to your ear as he whispered.
"Gotta make it stick... make sure you get nice and full."
You have nothing left in you to protest, only tears slipping by. You're so fucking dirty, cum and spit and snot and tears and sweat. The blanket your sprawled on feels like got left out in the rain.
You feel his cock soften inside you of before he pulls out. Two fingers immediately replace it, stuffing the little that leaks out back into your brushed pussy. You begin to lose your senses, your body unable to force itself to fight awake anymore.
You only feel the repeated drag of his fingers, a clicking sound like a camrea accompanied by a flash of light, and his breathless heaving. The bed shakes as he falls next to you before you feel his arm loosely wrap around you waist, pulling you into him. You eyes droop as you gave in. A lump forms in your throat when you feel a twitch against your ass as you slowly loose consciousness.
