1. The BAU Jet (Somewhere over Kansas)
The low, steady hum of the jetâs engines was a hypocritical rhythm. It was supposed to be soothing, but after seventy-two straight hours of unweaving the mind of a serial arsonist, every rattle of the fuselage felt like a spike to the temple. You were sitting next to Aaron, your laptop balanced precariously on your knees as you tried to format the final narrative report before landing.
Your eyes burned. The white background of the document was blinding. By your side, Aaron looked as pristine as he had at four in the morning, jacket off, sleeves rolled neatly twice to his forearms, dark hair completely unaffected by gravity or exhaustion. He was reviewing case files, his pen moving in methodical, precise strokes.
You blinked once. It lasted three seconds. You blinked twice. The next thing you registered was the subtle shift of the plane tilting into a gentle bank, and the sudden, grounding warmth beneath your cheek. You weren't leaning against the cold window anymore. Your head had fallen sideways, resting squarely against the firm, tailored fabric of Aaronâs shoulder.
You stiffened immediately, your eyes snapping open. You were ready to scramble backward, pull together a hurried apology about muscle fatigue, and scramble for your seat. But before you could even lift your chin, you felt a slight, deliberate pressure against your arm. Aaron hadn't moved an inch. His shoulder was held perfectly steady to support your weight, and his left arm was rested along the back of your seat, keeping you anchored so the turbulence wouldn't jostle you awake.
"Stay still," he murmured, his voice low and rich, not even looking up from the paper in his hand. "We have forty-five minutes before we land. The report can wait."
You held your breath for a second, then let out a slow, quiet exhale, letting your eyes drift shut again. He didn't shift. He didn't move away. He just kept reading, his breath a steady, comforting rhythm right above your crown.
2. The Briefing Room ( 11:42 PM )
The rest of the team had cleared out an hour ago. Piles of red-labeled folders were stacked in neat towers along the long oak table, waiting for the morning shift. You were sitting in the swivel chair at the end of the table, holding a lukewarm mug of black coffee that had long since lost its potency.
Aaron was standing by the glass wall, a phone pressed to his ear, his back turned as he handled the administrative fallout of a closed bureau audit. His voice was a calm, low baritone, filtering through the quiet room like a lullaby you hadn't asked for.
You rested your elbow on the table, propping your chin in your palm. Just five minutes, you told yourself. Just while he finishes the call.
Your palm slipped. Your head dipped forward, coming to rest not on the hard wood, but on something soft and woolly.
Aaron had walked over silently while wrapping up his call. Spotting you on the verge of collapsing forward onto the table, he had pulled his dark suit jacket off and folded it twice, sliding it right beneath your cheek just before your head landed.
When you jolted awake twenty minutes later, the jacket was still acting as a pillow, smelling faintly of sandalwood, and early morning rain. Aaron was sitting in the chair right next to you, silently reading through a thick stack of requisitions by the light of a single desk lamp.
"I was going to wake you," he said softly, turning a page without looking at you. "But you looked like you needed the rest more than I needed my coat."
3. The SUV (Interstate 95, Rainstorm)
It was pouring. The windshield wipers were sweeping back and forth in a hypnotizing, rhythm. Aaron was driving, his hands steady on the wheel at ten and two, his gaze fixed on the slick, dark highway ahead. You were in the passenger seat, tasked with navigating, but the GPS voice had been muted, and the heater blowing against your feet was a trap. Every time the car rolled over a smooth patch of asphalt, your chin would drop to your chest. Eventually, fatigue won out completely. You didn't just nod off, you fell sideways like a falling tree. Your head thudded lightly against his upper arm.
Aaron didn't flinch. With one hand on the steering wheel, he reached down, caught the edge of your coat, and pulled it up higher over your shoulders. Then, very carefully, he adjusted his driving posture slightly, leaning subtle weight into the door so you had more room to rest against him without sliding toward the gear shift. Every time he had to change lanes, he signaled far earlier than necessary, turning the wheel with painstaking smoothness so as not to disturb the warmth of you settled against his side.
4. The Office Couch (After a 36-Hour Dragnet)
It was four in the morning. The bullpen was pitch black, save for the emergency lights near the exits. You had walked into Aaron's office to drop off a final stack of victim profiles, only to find him sitting at his desk, rubbing the bridge of his nose with two fingers, looking thoroughly spent.
"You should go home, Aaron," you had said quietly, leaning against the doorframe.
"Ten more minutes," heâd replied, though his voice sounded raspy. "I just need to finish signing off on these travel vouchers."
You walked over, sat down on the leather sofa along the side wall to wait for him, intending to offer him a ride home so he wouldn't have to drive tired. You leaned your head back against the leather cushions, crossing your arms over your chest. Ten seconds later, you were under. When you woke up, it was six-thirty in the morning. The faint gray light of dawn was filtering through the blinds. You weren't sitting upright anymore, you were lying down on the couch, your feet tucked onto the cushions. A thick, dark fleece blanket, the one Aaron kept in his lower desk drawer for emergency overnights was pulled all the way up to your chin.
Sitting on the edge of the couch, with his thigh underneath your head, was Aaron. He had his elbow resting against the arm of the couch, holding a hot paper cup of tea, watching the bullpen outside his glass walls. He hadn't left his office. He had just stayed there, sitting quietly on the corner of the leather sofa, guarding your sleep until the building started to wake up.
"Good morning," he said softly, turning his head to offer a faint, genuinely warm smile. "You snore when you're completely exhausted."
"I do not," you grumbled, pulling the blanket over your nose.
"You do," a hint of a smile curving his lips. "It's fine. I didn't mind."
5. The Suburb Case (Safehouse Porch)
It was a rare moment of downtime during an active surveillance detail in rural Virginia. The house was quiet, the local authorities were handling the outer perimeter, and you and Aaron were stationed on the covered back porch, watching the treeline through night-vision optics.
The air was crisp and cool, carrying the scent of damp pine and autumn leaves. You were sitting side-by-side on an old wooden bench, wrapped in matching heavy canvas coats. The silence between you was comfortable, the kind built over years of shared trauma, unsaid understanding, and a quiet, simmering affection that neither of you had ever explicitly named. Your head began to droop. You fought it, snapping your eyes open twice, but the cold air and the heavy silence were overwhelming. Without thinking, you tilted sideways, resting your temple against his shoulder again. This time, Aaron didn't just hold still. Slowly, deliberately, he raised his arm and slid it around your shoulders, pulling you in closer against his side to block the wind. He rested his chin lightly against the top of your head, his thumb stroking smooth, rhythmic circles into the fabric of your coat sleeve.
"I've got the treeline," he whispered into your hair, his voice vibrating softly against your temple. "Go to sleep." You didn't fight it. You pressed deeper into his shoulder, falling asleep to the steady, comforting beat of his heart beneath his chest.
The One Time You Fell Asleep Next to Him
The case had ended with a pile of tedious paperwork and a collective sense of relief. To celebrate the end of a six-week stretch that had taken the team through three different time zones, Rossi had practically dragged everyone to a quiet, dimly lit dive bar three blocks from the Quantico building.
What was supposed to be "one quick drink" rapidly devolved into rounds of cheap whiskey, loud laughter, and heavy releases of built-up tension. You, usually a moderate drinker, had vastly underestimated the impact of two double scotches on an empty, overtired stomach. By midnight, the world was spinning in cozy, warm loops. Aaron had knocked back his fair share, his tie loose around his unbuttoned collar.
When you stumbled slightly coming out of the booth, his hand was immediately at the small of your back, steadying you with practiced ease.
"Alright," Aaron said quietly, his lips brushing near your ear so you could hear him over the jukebox. "Time to get you home."
"I'm fine," you giggled, leaning back against his chest as he guided you toward the door. "I am a picture of professional composure, Agent Hotchner."
"You're slurring the word 'composure,'" he murmured, though the corner of his mouth twitched upward in amusement.
The cab to his apartment was a blur of streetlights and soft jazz playing from the car radio. You don't quite remember walking up the stairs to his front door, but you remembered the feeling of his front hallway, quiet, clean, and smelling of him. You ended up in his kitchen, leaning against the counter while he brought you a tall glass of ice water.
"Drink all of it," he ordered gently, standing right in front of you.
You took a sip, set the glass down, and looked up at him. The suit jacket was gone. His tie was loosened, his top two buttons undone, revealing the warm skin of his throat. The warm, alcohol-induced courage took over before your brain could filter it.
You reached out, catching the edge of his open collar, and pulled him down to you. Aaron caught his breath, his hands instantly resting on your hips to steady you. "Are you sure?" he asked, his voice suddenly thick, his dark eyes searching yours with absolute seriousness. "You've had a lot to drink, and you're exhausted-"
"Hotch," you interrupted, stepping closer so your chest pressed against his. "Aaron. I've been waiting for you to look at me like this for three years. Please."
The restraint that Aaron Hotchner had cultivated for decades seemed to snap in a single, quiet beat. He didn't answer with words. His mouth came down on yours, deep and heavy and desperate, lifting you easily off your feet and onto the kitchen counter. You gasped into his mouth, your hands sliding into his hair, pulling him as close as physical law permitted.
The transition from the kitchen to his bedroom was a chaotic, beautiful haze of discarded clothes, heavy breathing, and skin burning against skin. It wasn't gentle, not entirely. It was the desperate release of months of quiet yearning, heavy glances across briefing tables, and deliberate, excruciating professionalism finally collapsing under its own weight.
Aaron was meticulous, reverent, and surprisingly intense. He held your wrists pinned lightly above your head, his eyes never leaving yours as he moved inside you, driving you to a shattering, breathless peak that left you sobbing his name against his neck. When he finally let go, his own release came with a low, ragged groan into the crook of your shoulder, his heavy weight pressing down on you in the best possible way.
Afterward, the room was silent save for the sound of your synchronized, heavy breathing. The sheets were tangled around your waists. The air in the bedroom was cool, but the heat radiating off Aaronâs bare skin was suffocatingly wonderful. He rolled onto his side, pulling you back against his chest, his strong arm wrapping tightly around your waist, anchoring your spine against his stomach. He pulled the heavy comforter up over both of your shoulders, burying his face into the back of your neck.
"Aaron?" you whispered into the dark room, feeling a soft wave of liquid exhaustion settling deep into your bones.
"Hmm?" he murmured, his lips pressing a warm, lingering kiss against the delicate skin just behind your ear.
"I'm not on your shoulder this time."
You felt him smile against your skin, a real, unfiltered, genuine laugh that vibrated straight through your body.
"No," he said softly, tightening his grip around your waist, pulling you so close there wasn't a single inch of air left between you. "You're right where you're supposed to be." You smiled, resting your hands over his forearm, and for the first time, you fell asleep next to him, wrapped in his arms, drifting off to the steady, undisturbed beating of his heart against your back.
Summary: She shows up to her first group meeting, nervous and unsure if she belongs. But the moment the Moore twins lay eyes on her, the tone shifts. What starts as anonymous recovery becomes something else entirely: charged, intimate, and impossible to walk away from.
Warnings: SMUT. EXPLICIT. ONE-SHOT. Degradation. Cream pie. Dirty talk. Heavy sexual themes. Plus sized/dark skinned/baddie. Pet names used. Daddy Dom. Threesome. Slut praise. â ď¸
The smell hit first. Something between hospital soap and dollar store lavender. That overcleaned scent meant to mask something raw underneath. A manâs cheap cologne maybe. Old carpet. Last weekâs potluck clinging to the walls.
She stepped inside, tugging her cardigan down over her hips, pretending she wasnât already sweating through the satin beneath it. Of all the nights to wear satin. Sheâd stood in front of the mirror for twenty minutes before leaving the house, fighting with herself over whether to go at all. Face beat but not too beat. Black pants hugging a little too tight over her hips. Curves sheâd tried to downplay, but they never really went anywhere. And now every inch of her felt too much for a room like this.
The community center was plain. Mismatched chairs arranged in a loose circle. Fluorescent lights overhead casting everyone in a cold, too-honest glow. A folding table sat near the wall with a half-empty coffee pot, powdered creamer, a crumpled box of tissues. Nobody looked up at first. One woman dabbed her eyes with a napkin. Another man stirred his cup too long, like he was buying time. She hesitated at the door, clutching her water bottle tight enough to bend the plastic. Her knuckles were stiff. She took a step inside.
âCome on in,â someone said. A woman. Middle-aged, soft voice, tight afro, gold hoops. The facilitator, maybe.
She gave a small nod and walked toward the only empty chair. It squeaked when she sat. Of course it did.
Thatâs when she saw them.
Two men, sitting across from each other with a few empty seats between them, but their presence filled the whole side of the room. Twins, clearly. Same bone structure, same rich brown skin, same wide chests that made folding chairs look like toys. But they held themselves different.
The one on the leftâElijahâsat still, forearms resting on his thighs, palms open. His face unreadable. Tall frame folded forward just enough to look like he was ready to pounce if needed. But the way his jaw was tight, his fingers twitching slightly against his denim, told a story. This was a man holding something in his mouth he didnât know how to say. Not yet. Maybe not ever.
The other oneâEliasâhad a lighter air to him. Still big, still coiled up with something, but he wore it behind a smirk. Spoke earlier, she could tell by the looseness in his posture. He leaned back, legs wide, one ankle hooked over the opposite knee. There was a small laugh line near his mouth, but it didnât look fresh. Looked worn-in, like heâd been forcing that expression too long.
She tried not to stare, but they were fine in a way that made her chest tighten. Not just good-looking. Built. Cut from something that had seen damage and made it out, barely. And she felt that part of herselfâthe one that craved the wrong kind of comfortâstir. She didnât like it. Not here. Not tonight. But there it was.
People spoke. She half-listened. Stories of things they lost. Wives. Control. Sleep. Dignity. One man had been clean for two months and said it like it was ten years. A woman spoke of silence in her house so loud she couldnât breathe. A younger guy nodded through tears. Everyone took their turn, passing the talking stickâliterally, a piece of driftwood polished smoothâand giving their name, what brought them here. A few people went before them. The stick passed to Elijah.
He exhaled once through his nose, slow, then looked up at no one in particular. Voice deep. Southern. Measured, âNameâs Elijah. I donât usually talk in these.â His leg bounced once. He stilled it with a palm to his thigh, âI was over there twice. Iraq. First time I came back, I stopped sleeping. Second time I came backâŚI stopped speakinâ. People thought I was just quiet. But I was trying not to feel nothinâ. Couldnât talk about what I saw. What I did. What we all did.â
Someone across the room nodded.
Elijah went on, âI got these dreams now. Loud. Bloody. Sometimes I wake up and donât know where Iâm at. Or I do, but I donât feel safe in my own skin. So I started showing up here. I donât need fixing. I just needâŚa place to sit where nobodyâs lying to themselves.â
He handed off the stick. Straightened his shoulders. His fingers twitched again. The stick moved a few chairs over to Elias. He spun it once in his palm, like he was about to tell a joke. But his eyes werenât laughing, âIâm Elias,â he said, âMost folks call me Stack.â
A few raised eyebrows. Someone chuckled, âServed too. Same as him,â he nodded toward Elijah. âDifferent units, same war. They sent us back out there after it was already bad. I tried to lighten it. Joked around. Played music. Bought everybody rounds. And it worked for a while.â He paused, looking down at the floor like something was still there, âThing is, when it got quietâŚthatâs when it got dangerous. You ever feel like your body come home, but your mind still overseas? Thatâs me. Iâm good at faking it. Still laugh. Still flirt. But inside? Everythingâs stuck. Like time donât move forward. Just flashes. Blood. Screams. That smell that donât wash off, even when itâs just memory now.â
He rubbed the back of his neck, flexing his jaw, âSo I come here. To try and unstick the reel in my head. Donât know if itâs working, but I keep showing up.â
He passed the stick off with a wink, but it didnât reach his eyes. And just like that, the weight in the room changed. The air shifted around their stories, drawing everyone in tighter. She hadnât realized her thighs were pressed together or that she was holding her breath.
Eventually it landed in her lap.
The stick felt warm. Too light for how heavy her chest suddenly got. Her throat worked once. Twice. Her mouth opened but nothing came out right away.
She looked up.
Both of them were watching her. Elijahâs stare was direct. Not pushy, not soft. Just there. Like he was listening before she even said a word. Elias tilted his head, brow raised slightly like he was ready to crack a joke if she needed it. But he didnât speak. Neither of them did.
She cleared her throat and tried again, âIâm hereâŚbecause I got tired of lying to myself,â she said. Her voice sounded smaller than she liked, but it was steady, âI been putting this off for a long time. Told myself I didnât need to be here. That I could handle it. But that was bullshit.â
A few people smiled at the word. She pressed on.
âIâve used a lotta things to quiet stuff. Food. Sex. People. Guilt. I kept thinking if I just stayed busy enough or pretty enough or quiet enough, it would go away. But it donât. It just sits. Right here.â She placed her hand over her chest, then her stomach, âAnd Iâm tired. I donât want to live like that no more.â
The stick trembled in her grip. She passed it quickly to the next person and dropped her gaze.
Nobody clapped. That wasnât the kind of space this was. But the quiet that followed was different now. Heavier. Not judgmental, just full. Like her words had actually landed somewhere and made room. When she peeked up again, Elias was looking at her with a slight tilt to his mouth. Elijah hadnât looked away once.
She shifted in her chair and pressed her thighs together, heart racing.
God, she hoped they didnât see that.
The meeting wrapped without ceremony. Just a few nods, a chair scraping, a soft clap on the back from one man to another. Nobody hugged. Nobody rushed. That was the thing about rooms like this. People stayed behind as if walking out too fast might break the spell. Or worse, the silence outside wouldnât feel as kind.
She sat still for a moment longer, pretending to organize her things. Twisting her water bottle cap open then closed. Tugging at the strap of her purse. She didnât trust her legs yet. Her chest felt open, too exposed, like sheâd peeled something back and forgot how to cover it.
Her eyes moved across the room, not meaning to search but doing it anyway. Elijah was still in his chair, leaned back now, one arm slung over the foldout beside him. His head tilted just a bit like he was listening to something nobody else could hear. His thumb tapped slow against his thigh. A steady rhythm. That same twitch from earlier. The man didnât move much, but when he did, it felt like the whole room shifted to accommodate it.
Elias was already standing. Taller than she expected, broad and loose-limbed, like heâd filled out in all the right places and knew it. His voice floated across the circle in a low chuckle while he talked to an older woman with grey locs and a soft wheeze to her laugh. He said something else, made her smile wider, and then handed her a Styrofoam cup from the table. Gentleman. Charmer. That was the mask. But even behind that smile, his eyes kept darting back.
Back to her.
She turned quick, pretending to check her phone, though the screen was black. Her thighs pressed together under the table, not consciously. Her body moved first. It always did when something got under her skin like this. And they were under it. Those two fine-ass men who carried war in their shoulders and shadows in their throats. Everything about them was wrong for her healing. And everything about them made her mouth dry. The things theyâd said. The way theyâd looked at her while she spoke. The stillness of Elijahâs gaze. The slow drawl of Eliasâs voice. It stirred up the part of her she tried to sit on like a live wire, the part that got her into trouble, the part she hadnât satisfied in too long. She stood and reached for her bag, trying to move like nothing was happening. Like she wasnât wet. Like her fingers werenât trembling just enough to make her phone slip when she tried to slide it into her purse.
The sound of it hitting the floor felt louder than it should have. She bent to pick it up. Footsteps. Slow. Heavy. By the time she straightened, Elias was already a few feet away. Not close enough to touch, but close enough to feel. That grin sat lazy on his mouth, a little crooked, like it got there by accident and stayed too long.
âYou did good in there,â he said, voice low, warm, and dipped in something syrupy.
She swallowed. Her lips parted, but the words got stuck.
âIâm serious,â he said, âMost folks come in and just say their name and bounce. You said something real. That shit matter.â
She finally found her voice, âI didnât plan to say all that.â
âI know. Thatâs why it worked.â
He took a step closer. Not touching. Not even hovering. Just making her aware of his size, his scent. There was something peppery on him. A little citrus. And something underneath that made her stomach flip. Her response caught in her throat again, not from shyness but from the way her body reacted to him. She didnât want to flirt. Not here. Not now. But her hips tilted, weight shifting to one side like it wanted to show itself off. Elias noticed. His eyes dragged down, slow, from her painted lips to the outline of her chest under that too-thin fabric. His gaze stayed there longer than polite. Longer than it should have. When it lifted again, he didnât apologize.
Thatâs when she felt itâanother presence behind her. Bigger. Hotter. Closer.
Elijah.
He didnât say a word at first. Just let his body speak. The air shifted when he stepped up behind her, and her knees nearly gave. She didnât even have to turn to know it was him. She could smell himâclean skin, cedar, that faint hint of something metallic like blood that never washed off war. He wasnât touching her. Not even breathing loud. But the way he stood there, quiet and close, made her feel like he was reading everything in her pulse.
Elias glanced at his brother and smiled like heâd been expecting him, âMan always shows up when I start talking too much,â he said.
Elijahâs voice came soft. Low. Rough like gravel in molasses, âBecause you always talk too much.â
That made Elias chuckle. Her eyes flicked between them. Mirror images. One warm. One cold. Both dangerous.
She opened her mouth to say somethingâanythingâbut Elijah finally looked at her, and her body short-circuited. His eyes were dark, still, focused. No smile. No lift in the brow. Just pure, concentrated attention like she was the only thing in the room worth watching. Her breath caught and her knees locked.
âYou got a name, baby?â he asked. Slow. Careful. Like each word had weight.
Her name fell out in a whisper. She hated how breathy it sounded. Hated more how Elias repeated it, like he was trying it on for size.
âPretty,â Elias said, âSuits you.â
Elijah just kept staring.
âReal pretty,â Elias said again, like he wanted to taste the name, roll it over his tongue.
She shifted her weight, nervous but not scared. She shouldâve stepped back. Shouldâve excused herself and walked out into the night, but something about the way they watched her made her feel still. Caught. Like a rabbit that wanted to be snared. Elijah stood behind her like a shadow, arms folded across his chest now. His shirt stretched over muscle that didnât move unless he told it to. His silence didnât make her feel unsafe. Just watched. Understood. Judged in a way that feltâŚthorough.
âYou from around here?â Elias asked, eyes roaming again, but slower now. Not just lookingâmapping, âDonât think I seen you before.â
âNot originally,â she said, clearing her throat, âMoved here a couple years ago. Still feel new though.â
Elias nodded, âWelcome to the South Side. Sheâll get in your bones before you know it.â
âShe already has,â she replied, lips twitching, âEven the air here thick with attitude.â
Elias grinned wide, âThat ainât attitude, baby. Thatâs character.â
Behind her, Elijah let out a quiet sound. A breath that almost became a laugh, but didnât. It brushed the back of her neck like wind. She stiffened, the heat crawling up her spine, flushing beneath her skin. She could feel the shape of his body behind her without even turning around. Felt the size of him. The quiet power. Like a wall with a pulse.
âWhat do you do?â Elijah asked finally, voice brushing low against her nape. It made her swallow too quick.
She tucked a curl behind her ear, fingers shaky, âAdmin work. Office job. Itâs decent. Pays enough. Boring enough.â
âYou like it?â he asked.
She glanced over her shoulder and caught his eyes. Still dark. Still heavy, âSome days. Some days I just do it because itâs something to do.â
Elijah nodded once. Nothing else.
Elias leaned in a bit, hands in his pockets, âHowâd you hear about this place?â
âMy therapist,â she said, her voice softer now, âBeen seeing her a minute. Kept pushing me to find community. Somewhere to say things out loud.â
âYou picked the right spot,â Elias replied, tone dipping, âPeople donât bullshit in here.â
âNo,â she said, glancing between them, âthey donât.â
A pause stretched between the three of them. She could feel her pulse in places she didnât want to admit. Her chest. Her thighs. Deep in the place she usually ignored unless it screamed. They were so damn close now. She hadnât realized how much theyâd shifted. Elias at her front, leaning just enough that her eyes landed on the line of his throat, the way his chain rested against brown skin. Elijah just behind her, not pressing, but her back tingled like it wanted him to.
She was sandwiched.
Soft and thick between two men who looked like they were carved from pressure and violence. Her body wasnât small by any meansâhips full, thighs plush, arms thick with the kind of softness that some men called too much and others never shut up about. But between them? She felt tiny. Felt like a marshmallow fluffed up in the middle of a storm. Like they could close in at any second and there wouldnât be a damn thing she could do but take it. And the thought made her squeeze her thighs again.
âYou really served?â she asked, trying to ground herself in words.
âTwice,â Elijah said.
âSame,â Elias added, rocking on his heels, âArmy. First deployment was mostly patrol. Second was messier.â
âWhatâs it likeâŚcoming back from something like that?â
Elijah spoke first, âNoisy.â
Elias followed, âThen quiet. But not the good kind.â
They werenât looking at each other. Only her. That twin language didnât need glances. It moved through them like a current.
She nodded, not sure what to say to that, âAnd now? What do you do?â
Elias shrugged, âI bounce around. Security gigs. Freelance stuff. Keep a side hustle or two.â
Elijah answered with a slow blink, âI do less.â
âLess?â
He nodded, âI work when I need to. Sleep when I can. Stay out the way.â
She caught the flicker in his eyes then. That weight again. He didnât need to explain it. She understood it in her bones. There was another long silence. Nobody moved. Not the inch that separated her from Eliasâs chest. Not the breath that kept her from backing into Elijahâs frame. They were bigger up close. Broader. The kind of tall that felt supernatural. Her head barely grazed their shoulders. Her hips wide enough to brush both of theirs at once if she turned just slightly. She didnât. Didnât breathe too loud. Didnât speak another word.Â
Just stood there. Between them. Feeling her control slipâŚone heartbeat at a time. A few more people filtered out. The room thinned until only a handful remained, lingering near the coffee table or shuffling their coats on. The facilitator gave her a wave, soft smile, then vanished down a side hall. The hum of the night slipped through the glass doors. She finally pulled herself back from the weight between them and exhaled slow. Her bag felt heavier now. Body slower. Skin more aware than it had any right to be.
âI should head out,â she said, forcing a light tone into her voice. âThanks for, umâŚthe company.â
Elias tipped his chin, âAnytime, sweetheart.â
Elijah gave one small nod. His arms still crossed, his eyes still on her like heâd memorized something. She stepped into the night with careful feet. The chill hit her arms through the cardigan, but it wasnât the cold that slowed her. It was the tingle on her spine. The weight of their stares following her all the way across the parking lot. Her car sat crooked under a flickering streetlight. She unlocked it, climbed in, tried to start the engine, and of course, nothing.
Dead.
âGod,â she whispered, slamming her head lightly against the steering wheel, âNot tonight.â She got out, phone in hand, already debating who to call. AAA? Her brother? A stranger?
Thatâs when she heard the footsteps again. Elias reached her first, holding up his hands like he meant no harm. That smile still tugging at the corner of his mouth.
âEverything alright?â
She sighed, a little embarrassed, âCar wonât start. Batteryâs been giving me problems.â
Elijah joined, hands in his pockets now, expression unreadable.
Elias turned to him, âYou got the cables in the truck?â
Elijah nodded, âPop the hood.â
They moved like it was nothing. Like it was routine. Elias leaned into the hood latch while Elijah walked back to the edge of the lot where his truck sat in a shadow. She glanced toward itâtall, matte black, tires thick, body clean but clearly used. A manâs truck. Practical. Solid. Powerful.
She didnât hesitate long. Something about being told what to do, quiet and plain like that, flipped a switch she hadnât touched in years. She climbed in and settled into the soft leather, the scent of them thick in the cabâcologne, sweat, weed, something metallic and faintly sweet. The seat was pulled far back, and she had to scoot up to sit right. The wheel large in her grip. The center console cluttered with small signs of lifeâa lighter, a receipt, a pack of gum, keys on a worn black loop. She let herself breathe there. Let the window fog a little while she watched them work. They moved in sync. No words needed. One connected clamps. The other leaned under the hood. That twin rhythm again. Like they were built from the same pulse. The truck rumbled to life under her touch. A few minutes later, her own engine followed, Smoke behind her wheel. Elias waved her out and she joined them again under the hood, heart warm now from something she didnât have a name for.
âYou good,â Elijah said, shutting the hood with one clean swing, âLet it run a few.â
âThank you,â she said, hugging her arms, âI appreciate it.â
âYouâre welcome,â Elias replied, voice thicker now, âStill chilly though. You wanna sit a minute while it charges up?â
She hesitatedâthen nodded. This time, she climbed into her own car. They didnât leave. They opened the back doors and slid in like it was theirs. Elijah stretched out behind the passenger seat, long legs knocking against the one in front of him. Elias settled behind her, quiet as always, hands on his knees. No fuss. No noise.
âYou bring that indigo?â Elias asked.
Elijah nodded, âAlways.â He pulled something from his jacket. Rolled tight. Green. Dense.
âGood. Thatâs that smooth shit. Not the kind that make your brain spin. The kind that justââ he whistled low, ââmelts you.â
âOkay if we smoke a lilâ baby girl?â Elijah asked.
She gave them the okay. He sparked it up, eyes half-lidded as he pulled. The window cracked just enough to let the smoke drift.
âYou smoke?â Elias asked her, eyes drifting over her lips.
She shook her head, âNah. Iâd be laid out in five minutes.â
Elijah almost smiled, âThatâs the point.â
She laughed, âIâm tryna make it home in one piece.â
Elias exhaled and passed it to his brother, âFair enough. Weâll keep it light then.â
The scent wrapped around her anyway. Thick, earthy, sweet. A deep floral note she hadnât smelled before. Her eyelids lowered without her permission.
âWhat you do for fun?â Elias asked after a pause, head resting back.
She blinked, âFun?â
âThat thing people supposed to have in their lives.â
She gave a soft laugh, âI donât know. Read. Cook sometimes. Go to movies alone like I got friends.â
Elias smirked, âAinât nothinâ wrong with that. I like movies too. Especially the trash onesâSmoke, donât,â he added.
Elijah replied without looking up, âBecause most of them are trash.â
She grinned, âSo what do you do for fun, then?â
A pause.
Elias shrugged, âI smoke. Eat good. Find soft places to land when life get heavy.â
That answer felt like it meant more than it said. She didnât push it. Elijah said nothing. Just passed the blunt back and looked out the window. The red glow from the tip lit the edge of his jaw, the line of his throat. Her thighs shifted again. The air filled with silence and secondhand smoke. Her limbs started to loosen. The nerves sheâd been holding onto fell away, one by one. They didnât crowd her. Didnât try to flirt. They just were. Letting her soak in the moment. Eventually she sighed and sat up straighter.
âI should head out,â she said, soft but certain, âGotta be up early.â
They didnât protest. Didnât try to keep her. They opened the back doors in unison. She put her car in drive.
âWait.â Elias asked.Â
She turned in the drivers seat, rolling down the window.
He held out his hand, âLemme see your phone.â
She hesitated, âWhy?â
âSo you can text me when you make it home. Thatâs all.â
Her heart thudded hard in her chest. She handed it to him, screen unlocked. He typed something quick. Saved it. Before she could reach for it, Elijah took it next. Said nothing. Typed slower. Saved. When he handed it back, their numbers were stacked side by side in her contacts: Elias âStackâ Elijah âSmokeâ
Two names. Two men. Two fires waiting to burn her in completely different ways.
âDrive safe,â Elias said, voice deep and easy.
Elijah didnât speak. Just gave her a salute.
But she could feel both of them watching her as she pulled off. Still warm and lit up. Still trembling in the center of her seat. And she already knew next week wasnât coming fast enough.
The apartment met her with stillness. Not peace. Not silence. Just the kind of quiet that made her too aware of herself. Of her breath. Of the damp place between her legs that hadnât stopped aching since they left her. She locked the door behind her, turned the deadbolt, and leaned there for a second. Purse dropped on the floor like her fingers forgot how to carry anything else. Her keys hit the counter with a sharp sound, but it didnât pull her out of it.
She could still smell them.
It wasnât just fragrance. It was body and tension. The stretch of their legs in her passenger seat, the low drag of Elijahâs voice when he leaned in close. Elias laughing behind her shoulder, knuckles brushing her neck whenever he clutched her headrest like it was an accident. That scent had clung to the fibers of her shirt, soaked into the seatbelt, braided itself into her skin. She stood there, staring into the dark of her apartment, not moving. Her thighs shifted once, a slow grind as she exhaled hard through her mouth.
âGet it together,â she said, barely above a whisper.
But her body didnât listen. She moved through the apartment like she was trying to walk off a fever. That worn black cardigan tugged from her arms and tossed across the back of a chair. Shirt peeled slow over her head. Her bra unhooked with a practiced twist, sliding off her shoulders and falling to the floor. Her breasts sighed when they were freed, heavy and soft, nipples dark and already pebbled from friction and memory. The cool air in her apartment kissed her skin, but it only made everything worse.
In the full length mirror, she caught herself. Curves stacked like survival. A body shaped by softness, by meals that soothed and touches that lingered. Breasts full and low, heavy with the kind of weight men either worshipped or shamed. Arms round. Belly warm and plush. Thick thighs that didnât apologize for anything, always brushing when she walked. She stared at herself with a kind of quiet hunger, like she finally understood why men looked twice. Why they circled back. Why they didnât leave empty-handed.
She looked like the kind of woman you lose your mind over. And she was still soaked. The drive home had made it worse. That long stretch of road. That last look Elijah gave her before he stepped out of the car. The way Elias leaned in and let his knuckles trace her thigh one last time before grinning and saying, âWeâll wait on you.â They hadnât even touched her properly. Not yet. But her body had stored every sound, every shift of breath between them. Every moment of being surrounded by men who watched her like they already knew how she tasted.
She stepped out of her leggings and panties together, sliding them down her legs slow, bending at the waist. The air touched her pussy and she inhaled sharp, startled by just how wet she still was. Her thighs gleamed. Her folds were slick, swollen, open like a mouth begging to be fed. She climbed into bed without turning on the lights.
The sheets were cool at first, then too warm. Her skin felt tight all over. Too sensitive. Too much. She kicked the covers off, let her thighs fall open, and let her hand find that space that hadnât been touched all night but felt used anyway.
She started soft. Just fingers tracing down her belly. Grazing the top of her mound, dipping slow through wetness that glistened even in the low light of the hallway lamp. She breathed out, slow and shaky.
It was Elias she pictured first.
His hands looked like they could hold her still by the hips and lift her off the bed if he wanted to. She imagined him between her thighs, chin glistening, one hand keeping her legs apart while the other pressed against the softness of her belly like he wanted to feel everything. He looked like the type to talk while he ate. Tease while he stroked. Thumb her clit while he said things like, You like that? You look good stretched open for me. Dripping all down your thighs, mama.
She bit her lip and let her fingers mimic his mouth.
Slow circles. Up. Down. Press. Pull. Her other hand came up and cupped her breast, tugging at the nipple until it ached. She pictured Elias pulling her down to ride his tongue, then spreading her lips wide with both thumbs just to watch her tremble.
But Elijah. Elijah came next.
Quieter. Hungrier. The kind of man who didnât say much because he meant everything. She saw him holding her ankles in the air while he fed her strokes deep and slow, eyes locked on hers, jaw tight like he was fighting the need to break her in half. She saw herself pinned against the wall with her legs wrapped around him, nails in his shoulders, sweat on his neck. He fucked like he didnât believe in breaks. Like heâd been hungry his whole life and finally got a taste.
Her fingers sped up.
She cried out once, head turning into the pillow, body arching into her own hand.
She didnât slow down.
She kept going. Kept pushing. Kept pulling. Rubbed her clit like she was chasing something that had been running from her since sundown. Her body trembled under the weight of it. Her thighs clenched. Her pussy pulsed, slick spreading all over her fingers, leaking down into the sheets as her orgasm hit sharp, then melted.
But it didnât stop there.
She rolled to her side, breathing ragged. One leg cocked up. Her hand still between her thighs. Her body wouldnât quit. It wasnât done with her. It needed more.
Needed them.
Guilt tried to creep in.
She pushed it away.
Instead, she reached for her phone, screen lighting up the shadows around her. Their names sat there, side by side. Still new. Still unfamiliar. But heavy with possibility.
She opened a new thread. Added them both. Typed slow.
hey. made it back safe. thanks again â¤ď¸
Sent.
A few seconds passed. Then another.
No reply yet. But that didnât matter. What mattered was the flutter in her stomach after pressing send. The thread was open now. The line was there.
She dropped the phone beside her on the bed and closed her eyes, Elijahâs silence still clinging to her skin. Eliasâs smile burned into her thoughts.
Next week couldnât come fast enough.
Sleep took her quick after that. Loose and full-bodied. Her hand still smelled like her own skin. Her mouth curved into the faintest smile, body stretched out like sheâd finally let go of something that had been holding her tight for weeks.
She didnât hear the buzz or feel the soft light flicker across the room.
1:12 AM â Stack: good. i was gon come knock if you didnât text fr. sleep good, baby girl.
1:16 AM â Smoke: glad you made it. get some rest.
_______
The chairs were set up the same way. Metal legs scraping old linoleum. The circle slightly lopsided, like itâd been rearranged too many times by hands that didnât care about symmetry. Same off-brand coffee scent hanging in the air, mixed with that generic floral lotion somebody always overapplied.
She stepped in quiet, scanning without trying to look like she was. The room wasnât full yet, but it was more crowded than last week. More noise. A low buzz of nervous laughter, soft conversation, people catching up on things that couldnât be said in daylight.
They werenât there.
Her stomach dipped.
She kept walking anyway, choosing a seat near the edge of the circle, but not too far out. Close enough to be seen. Far enough to pull back if she needed. Her thighs stuck to the foldout chair a little as she sat. She adjusted her sweater. Re-crossed her legs. Tried not to fidget.
It wasnât like she hadnât heard from them.
The week had been full of light touches.
Morning, sweetheart.
Sleep good, mama.
Donât let that job drain you.
Text messages.
Just enough to keep her in orbit.
Elias was the more consistent one. His texts came with emojis sometimes, made her laugh when she didnât expect to. Told her when he was eating something good. Sent her a song link with a âthis feel like youâ attached. She didnât tell him that she played it three times back-to-back before bed.
Elijah didnât text often. But when he did, it was sharp. Clean.
You up.
You working today?
That picture you posted. You looked good.
That one stayed with her. Especially because he hadnât liked the post. Hadnât commented. Just sent the message with no fanfare and disappeared for the rest of the night.
But that was the thing.
Theyâd both found her socials.
Elias first. He followed fast. Liked a few photos in a row âone of her Sunday fit, one where she was laughing in the passenger seat of her cousinâs car, one full-body mirror shot she nearly deleted because her stomach looked soft. He left a comment on that one.
Curves sittinâ nice, baby girl
She had to sit down after reading it.
Then Elijah came. No follow. No likes. No comments. Just views. Story watches. Quiet profile visits. The kind of presence you didnât see unless you were looking for it.
But she saw.
And if he was lurking, it meant he wanted to see. It meant he was curious. And that was worse than all the compliments in the world. She tapped her nails against the water bottle in her lap, pretending to focus on a crack in the wall near the clock. The facilitator was setting out the talking stick and a box of Kleenex like she always did. A couple she hadnât seen before slid into the seats across from her. The woman looked anxious. The man just looked tired.
Still no Elijah. Still no Elias.
She took a breath, long and slow through her nose, and pushed it out through her lips. Donât be pressed, she told herself. She came for herself. Not for them.
Then the door creaked open behind her. She didnât turn around. She didnât have to. Their presence moved through the room like gravity. She heard the shuffle of boots on tile, the low cadence of Eliasâs voice as he greeted the woman by the coffee. Heard the silence that followed behind it. That still weight Elijah carried like a second skin.
She felt it before they even reached her.
ââScuse us,â Elias said, smooth as ever, stepping up beside her chair, âTraffic had me on ten. My fault.â
Then Elijah was on the other side of her.
Just like that, she was boxed in again. Elias dropped into the chair on her right with a sigh, knees wide, arms stretching back over the top rail like he was settling into his throne. Elijah took the one on her left quieter. Slower. The metal groaned a little under him, but he didnât shift after. He just sat. Still as always.
They didnât look at each other.
âHey,â Elias said, voice pitched just for her now, âYou good, sweetheart?â
She turned her head slightly, âYeah. You?â
Elijah answered first, âLiving.â
Elias nodded, âWeek was long, but manageable. You?â
She hesitated, then let a soft smile curve her lips, âSame. Just trying to keep myself together.â
Eliasâs eyes dropped to her legs for a second, slow, then back up, âYou look like you holdinâ together just fine.â
She didnât respond. Not out loud. But her thighs pressed together under the table again. Subtle. Instinctual.
âYou ainât text back the other night,â Elias added, voice dipping low, âWe were waitinâ.â
âI was sleep,â she said, âDidnât see it till morning.â
It was the way he said it. Not as some throwaway observation, but like heâd been paying attention. Like heâd been reading between her lines all week. Every good morning. Every late night response. Every gap between replies. Like heâd felt the weight in her texts even when she didnât name it.
Elias leaned in a little, voice pitched low just for her, âSo how you sleep, huh? One of them big olâ t-shirts with a hole at the bottom? A moo-moo from your auntieâs drawer? OrâŚâ His eyes dragged slow over her face, âNothinâ at all?â
She turned toward him, lips parted just enough to let a breath out, âYou askinâ for a mental picture or just tryna be messy?â
His grin curled, slow and wicked, âBoth.â
She leaned in just enough to meet his energyânot more. Her lashes dropped a little as she let the answer roll off her tongue.
âFor me to know, and for you to wonder.â
Elias let out a low laugh, that kind that comes from the chest, like sheâd said something worth chewing on. His smile didnât drop, but something in his eyes shifted. Like heâd just added her answer to a list he planned to revisit.
Elijah hadnât said a word. But his hand had moved. Not toward her. Not obvious. Just from his thigh to his knee, fingers flexing once before curling into a loose fist. Like he needed somewhere to put all that stillness.
The talking stick passed. Another story started. This one from the young guy with the frayed hoodie and tired hands. He spoke with eyes on the floor, about a girl he used to love. About the way she left without saying goodbye. About how it wasnât even the leaving that broke him, it was the way heâd never hear her voice again.
The circle went quiet. She tried to focus. But all she could think about was how Elijah shifted in his seat just enough that his shoulder grazed hers. The contact was soft. Unintentional. But he didnât move away.
And neither did she.
The breath caught in her throat felt too heavy to swallow. Her eyes stayed locked on the middle of the circle, but her bodyâŚher body was answering to something else. Every inch of her was tuned to the rhythm of the men beside her. The way Elias moved when he crossed his legs. The way Elijah breathed through his nose. The low scent of weed on Eliasâs hoodie. The faint cedar that clung to Elijahâs skin like it came from the inside out.
They were just sitting there. Doing nothing.
And she was soaked.
Her thighs flexed again. Slow. Deliberate. Just enough pressure to ground herself.
She could feel Elias glance at her.
Not with his head, with his mouth. The corner of it twitched like he was holding something back. Like he knew what she was doing. Like he approved.
Her fingers tightened around the water bottle in her lap.
The stick passed again. Someone else started speaking. A woman this time. Voice strong. Steady. Talking about learning to forgive herself. The word forgive echoed too loud in her head. Made her jaw clench. Because she knew damn well if she kept walking this edgeâthe edge she was on right nowâshe was going to need it.
Forgiveness. Grace. A reason to keep pretending this wasnât getting out of hand.
The meeting ended like it always did. No applause, no hallelujahs, just a slow uncoiling. Chairs scraping. Deep exhales. People rubbing at their eyes, stretching their backs, pulling on coats heavy with memory.
She stood slower than usual. Took her time collecting her water bottle and slipping her phone into her purse. She felt Elias rise beside her first, his body heat peeling away like a layer of something she hadnât realized was covering her. Then Elijahâsilent, steadyâpushed back his chair with a single sound and stood like a question she hadnât figured out how to answer yet.
The three of them hovered near the exit, caught in that familiar float after hard truths had been shared and nothing felt quite real yet. The night air hit sharp when the door opened, cool on her cheeks, biting at her neckline. The parking lot looked quieter than it had last week. Streetlamp flickering overhead, pavement still cracked from some long-gone winter.
âYou straight?â Elias asked, turning toward her.
âYeah,â she said, pulling her sweater tighter, âJust waiting on my ride.â
âUber?â Elijahâs voice was low, almost lost in the wind.
âYeah. My carâs still on bullshit. Been giving me hell since last month.â
Elias nodded slowly, âYou hungry?â
The question caught her mid-step. She looked at him.
âIâm starving,â he said, then glanced to Elijah, âYou good to hit that spot on 63rd?â
Elijah didnât answer with words. Just a short nod and a look that said always.
Elias turned back to her, shrugging one shoulder, âWe were gonâ stop and grab something. Nothing fancy. Greasy spoon, hole-in-the-wall type. Good as hell though. You tryna come?â
She hesitated. Thought about her Uber being five minutes away. Thought about her fridge with nothing but condiments and regret inside. Thought about how warm Elias looked in his hoodie and how Elijah kept watching her with that still silence that spoke louder than anything Elias could say.
She said yes.
The black SUV sat in the lot like it had been waiting for her. Big, clean, lifted just enough that she had to brace herself with one hand on the console when she climbed in. The inside smelled like skin, cologne, and something earthy like smoked wood and something sweet left in the ashtray too long.
Elias drove. Elijah took the passenger seat. She buckled in behind them, legs pressed together, heart already beating too fast for no damn reason.
The music came on low. A bassline humming beneath a song she didnât know but wanted to, the kind of track you only played when the night wasnât over, just shifting.
âYou picky?â Elias asked, turning the wheel with one hand, knuckles flashing under the dash lights.
âNo,â she said, settling deeper into her seat, âAs long as itâs hot and seasoned.â
Elias grinned, âYou speakinâ my language.â
Elijah glanced back once, his profile sharp in the reflection of the side mirror, âThatâs what she said.â
She rolled her eyes, smiling anyway, âYâall are real smooth when you want to be.â
Elias chuckled, âAinât gotta be smooth when you tell the truth.â
They drove in silence for a few blocks. Not awkward, just quiet. Comfortable. The kind of silence that let her breathe, let her body loosen without realizing it. She felt herself relax into the leather seat, fingers idly tracing the stitching in the door, head tilted just slightly as she watched the city slide past.
âYou always come alone?â Elijah asked after a while.
âTo the meetings?â
He nodded.
âYeah. Why?â
âJust wonderinâ,â he said, âYou donât talk like somebody whoâs been holdinâ it in.â
She considered that, âI been holding it. I just got tired.â
That earned a small nod from him.
The SUV eased to a stop under a flickering streetlamp, the faded sign overhead humming against the night. A red awning curled over the door of the diner, corners wind-worn and cracked. The building looked like it hadnât been updated since the â90s â chipped paint on the bricks, yellow light leaking through blinds that were permanently tilted.
 It smelled like fries and something fried in love. And that was enough.
Elijah got out first.
Before she could even reach for the handle, he was there âpulling her door open with one smooth motion, stepping back so she could swing her legs out. He didnât say anything. Just stood there, holding the space like it was made for her. She placed a hand on the frame and began to step down, but Elias appeared, already reaching. His hands slid around her waistânot rushed, overdoneâbut steady and sure. His palms warm through her sweater. He helped her down like she weighed nothing.
âYou got it?â he asked, low and close.
âYeah,â she said. But she didnât move right away.
Not until he released her. Slowly.
They walked up to the door, her in the middle again without thinking. Elias stepped ahead and pulled the door open wide. Elijah stayed at her back, a quiet presence that made the hairs on her neck rise.
She stepped inside.
The warmth hit immediatelyâfryer grease, old coffee, lemon cleaner. The lights were low, booths cracked in places, walls lined with faded pictures of food that no longer looked like the real thing. Two people sat at the counter, arguing softly over a plate of pancakes. The cook was behind the grill, face half-covered with a hair net over cornrows, eyes watching them from beneath a tangle of steam.
âSit anywhere,â he called.
They chose the corner booth. The kind that wrapped around in a half-circle, all leather and low light, tucked away from the rest of the room. Elias slid in first, gesturing for her to follow. She eased in after him, letting the seat shift under her hips.
Elijah slid in from the other side.
And just like that, she was surrounded again.
Pressed in leather and warmth. Tension curling low in her stomach. Their bodies not touching hers, but close enough that she could feel the pull. The table had a paper menu under a glass top. Sticky in places. Two napkin dispensers. A cracked bottle of hot sauce.
Elias leaned his elbow on the table and grinned, âYou look like you still donât believe we can eat.â
She smirked, easing back in her seat, âYâall donât seem like the kind to get excited about greasy burgers and soggy fries.â
âShit,â Elias laughed, tapping the menu, âThis the kinda place that keep you grounded.â
Elijah picked up a napkin and wiped something off the table that didnât even need wiping.
âThey got peach cobbler here and 7-up cake,â he said, low, âBest in the city.â
She turned her head toward him, âThat right?â
He didnât smile. But the way he said it, like it was a fact, like heâd tested it and would stake something on it, made her thighs press together again under the table.
A server shuffled over. Young. Distracted. Took their drink ordersâwater for her, strawberry lemonade for Elias, a passion fruit lemonade for Elijah. No pen. Just memory.
The moment he walked off, Elias turned to her, âYou donât talk much outside of them text messages.â
âIâm observing,â she said, âYâall areâŚinteresting.â
âInteresting good? Or interesting like donât-trust-that-man-with-your-wallet?â
âStill deciding,â she teased.
Elijah cut his eyes toward her, âYou trust too easy?â
âNot even a little.â
He nodded slow, âGood.â
Elias reached over and adjusted the salt shaker like it was in the wrong place, but really, his forearm just brushed hers. On purpose. Not obvious. Not hidden either.
They settled into a silence that wasnât really silence. The kind of stillness that hums. The kind thatâs all breath and body and what-if.
The drinks came. The menus stayed unopened. Nobody was really hungry for food yet. Not with the way their knees brushed under the table. Not with the way her thighs were warm again, and she was right where they liked to keep her.
Between them.
The food came fast.
Baskets of fries steaming on contact, burgers stacked sloppy between toasted buns, syrup glossed over pancakes on a chipped plate. The kind of food that didnât need to be plated cute just hot and greasy and worth licking off your fingers.
Elias clapped once when the server dropped off the tray, âThatâs what Iâm talkinâ about. Bless that nigga behind the grill.â
âBless?â she teased, âThatâs a strong word for a greasy spoon burger.â
âYou ainât tasted it yet,â Elias said, unwrapping his sandwich like it was holy, âYou gonâ see.â
Elijah just reached for the hot sauce. Poured it slow across his plate like this wasnât his first time doing it. His burger already sliced in half. Neat. Intentional. Just like him.
She watched his hands while he worked. He caught her watching.
Said nothing.
Just dipped a fry in ketchup and popped it into his mouth like he didnât just catch her slippinâ.
âGot you quiet now. Food must be hittinâ.â Elias asked around a bite.
She sipped her water slow. âIâm savorinâ.â
He licked a spot of sauce off his thumb, eyes still on her, âYeah. Thatâs my kinda energy.â
âYou tryna turn dinner into something else?â she asked, brows raised.
He smirked, âI ainât tryna do nothinâ you donât already want done.â
Elijah shook his head, low and dry, âHere you go.â
âWhat?â Elias grinned, âShe grown. She got that look like her thoughts louder than her words.â
She smirked, âMaybe I just like the sound of my food more than your mouth.â
That got Elijah to smile. Not a full one. Just a pull at the corner. But it was there.
Elias leaned in a little, elbow brushing hers, âI like you. You quick.â
She dipped a fry in hot sauce and sucked the tip clean before biting, âYou just slow.â
âOoh,â Elias chuckled, âOkay. So you wanna go tit for tat tonight.â
She shrugged, âIâm just tryna eat.â
But she wasnât. Not with the way her thighs stayed tight together and the way both of them kept inching closerâ Elijahâs knee brushing hers every time he shifted. Eliasâs arm resting behind her on the booth like it belonged there.
The jokes slowed. The food disappeared one bite at a time. Then the silence hit.
Not awkward. JustâŚloaded. The kind of quiet that made you breathe different.
Elias wiped his hands slow with a napkin, âLap tense as hell. Thought this was just dinner.â
She turned her head, gave him a lazy look, âWhat makes you think itâs tense?â
He leaned in, âCause you ainât moved since we sat down. You sitting too pretty for someone who ainât feeling it.â
Elijahâs voice came low beside her, âYou been quiet ever since you slid into this booth.â
âI been listening,â she said.
âTo what?â
She turned toward him, voice lower now, âEverything yâall not sayinâ.â
Eliasâs tongue wet his bottom lip. Elijah just blinked slow, like her words landed somewhere deep behind his eyes. Elias scooted closer. Not much. But enough that their thighs were flush now. His arm brushed hers when he moved. Rested heavy behind her shoulders. He didnât touch her. Not yet.
âYou cold?â he asked, voice softer now.
She looked straight ahead, âNot really.â
âYou sure?â
âWhy you askinâ?â
He leaned in, mouth near her ear, âCause you tryna sit still, but your body keep tellinâ on you.â
Elijah was still on her other side. Closer now. His hand resting on the table, close to hers. His fingers didnât touch. But they were right there. His knee pressed against hers. Firm. Intentional.
And she felt it. She felt everything. The booth wasnât that big anymore. The air wasnât light anymore. Her breath wasnât steady anymore. And nobody said a damn thing about what was happening.
It just was.
The diner noise faded into a soft background blur â plates clinking, somebody laughing near the back, an old radio humming from behind the grill. Her pulse throbbed in her throat. In her wrists. In the space between her legs.
Elijah tilted his head toward her, finally speaking again, âYou sure you donât wanna finish that cobbler?â
She didnât look at the plate. She looked at him.
And her answer barely made it above a whisper.
âDepends how yâall serve it.â
The cobbler sat untouched.
Sweet peach halves, still steaming, rested beneath a golden crust glazed in syrup. It bled across the plate in amber puddles, warm and slow, curling into the corners like it had nowhere else to be. But nobody at that booth gave a damn about dessert anymore.
Not her.
Not Elias.
Not Elijah.
Not when Elias kept looking at her mouth every time she bit her lip. Not when Elijah still hadnât moved his leg from where it pressed up firm against hers.
She shifted slightly, spine brushing back against the cracked vinyl of the booth. It hissed beneath her, hugging her wide hips, clinging like it didnât want to release her. Space was tight. Too tight to run. Too tight to pretend she didnât notice how Eliasâs thigh was all up against hers on the left, and Elijah had boxed her in on the right. When she leaned, her shoulder slid across Eliasâs chest, his shirt cotton-soft and stretched tight across a frame that didnât give. Not one inch. She exhaled through her nose. Tried to focus on the table. The butter knife. The half-finished drinks. Anything but the way both men were just sitting thereâstill and quietâlike they didnât already know what they were doing.
Until it happened.
Elias shifted his weight, leaned back, and let his hand fall beneath the table. Slow. Smooth. No rush. No warning. His fingers curved wide before settling heavy right on her thigh.
Not her knee.
Not the edge of her skirt.
Her thigh. The thick, bare meat of it.
Her body jerked slightly. Gasp caught somewhere between her throat and her lips. It was soft, almost inaudibleâbut he heard it. He felt it. Because his hand didnât move. Just sat there like it belonged.
Warm. Big. Familiar.
Possessive without apology.
His thumb started tracing lazy circles, slow and low, like he was drawing something sacred. Her breath hitched. Her thighs tensed but didnât close. She could feel the heat spreading beneath his palm, the way the skin there started to thrum with awareness.
âWhat you doinâ?â she whispered. Tried to laugh. But her voice waveredâhalf-giggle, half-beg.
Eliasâs grin spread slow, âWhat you lettinâ me do?â
She opened her mouth. Thought of a smart reply. A tease. A deflection. But nothing came. Not a word. Just a breathy sound that damn near sounded like she was already giving in.
His fingers squeezed with intention. Then he started to rub again. Up and down. Thumb grazing the inside edge. Not high enough to make her shift, but close enough to make her need to. She leaned back harder now. Not to stop it. To feel it more. Her thighs pressed together, soft skin flexing. Eliasâs hand didnât stop. Didnât rush.
He just kept touching her. Calm. Playful. Confident.
âThatâs wild,â she said under her breath. Her lip caught between her teeth now, âYâall ainât got no sense.â
âYou laughinâ,â Elias said, voice dipped low, âbut your legs ainât moved once.â
She almost answered.
But then Elijah moved.
His hand came down quiet, like heâd been waiting. His palm landed on her other thighâsame spot, opposite side. He didnât tease. Didnât rub. He just pressed his hand flat. Claimed the space. His touch ran cooler. Firmer. No play in it. Just pressure. A quiet grip.
âYeah,â Elijah said, voice so close to her ear it made her stomach tighten, âShe tense.â
Elias let out a low laugh, âTold you.â
Elijah slid closer, thigh against hers now. His fingers flexed once. Then again. Slow. Deliberate. His thumb dragged toward the inner edge of her thigh and stopped just shy of the warmest part. Just enough to make her blink fast. To make her thighs twitch.
âShe so soft,â Elijah said, his voice steady, no teasing, âLook how she leaninâ into it.â
Elias leaned in, his lips ghosting near her jaw, âThis what you needed, huh? Couple hands on you. Tight little booth. Not enough space to think?â
Her breath left her like she forgot how to hold it. She was full. Caught between them. Nothing but thigh, thigh, thick thigh, and the deep, syrupy ache building right between her legs.
They talked like she wasnât sitting there pulsing.
Like they didnât feel her squirm.
Like they werenât making her come apart in public.
âBet she act shy when she get out this booth,â Elias said. His hand moved now, rubbing tighter, slower, âBut I bet soon as she get home, she gonâ lay back and think on this.â
Elijah didnât blink. His palm tightened just a little, âShe already wet.â
It wasnât a question.
She gasped, sharp and soft. Her hand gripped the edge of the table, knuckles not white but clenched just the same.
Elijah tilted his head, âAinât you?â
She didnât answer.
Couldnât.
Her eyes dropped to the table, chest rising and falling quick now. Both their hands were still on her. Elias tracing his circles, slow and greedy, fingertips creeping closer to the place she was trying hard not to twitch toward. Elijahâs hand holding her steady, thumb tapping once, just enough to make her swallow hard.
They knew. They always knew.
Elias leaned into her shoulder, his breath kissing the shell of her ear, âSay the word.â
She turned her head toward him, lips parting, heart racing like somebody caught in the act. She wanted to say something. Anything. But all that came out was a low soundâguttural, helpless, and real.
And both of them smiled.
Because that was enough.
Her thighs stayed open. Her back arched just enough. The booth creaked low, wood groaning beneath Eliasâs weight as he leaned in. The vinyl seat gave under him, guiding her thigh right over his without permission, without apology. Just presence. His other hand pried her open inch by inch, the hem of her dress slipping higher on instinct, breath catching in her chest before she even knew what it was reacting to.
Then Elijah shifted beside herâquiet but heavy, the kind of weight that didnât need sound to make itself known. He did the same from the other side, trapping her in place. Boxed in. Legs spread. Palms resting casual on either side of his thighs like he wasnât doing anything at all.
But she could feel everything.
The table shielded what eyes couldnât see, but not what she could feel. Not the way the air changed. Not the way her breath grew tight in her ribs.
Elias moved first. His hand came low and slow, fingertips dragging up her bare thigh like he had all night to get there. He didnât rush. He felt. Sank into every curve of her skin with the kind of appreciation that felt close to hunger. His thumb rolled slow as he moved higher, brushing that tender strip of skin just beneath her panties like it was his alone. And when he pressed, it wasnât fast or frantic. It was mean. Curious. Dirty. His thumb rolled up and traced the soft, soaked fabric between her legs like he could read it. Like her body was saying something, and he was trying to catch every syllable.
 Elijah followed, rougher but just as patient. His palm pushed her thigh wider, fingers spreading across the soft give of her skin, gripping the plush curve above her knee and dragging up. He felt for the thickness beneath his hand, rubbed his thumb over the seam of her panties and caught the way her muscles jumped. He didnât pause.
She tried to breathe. Tried to laugh, âYâall really wild,â she whispered, voice cracking from where it got stuck behind her teeth.
Elias didnât laugh. He didnât need to. He made a low sound in his throat, all gravel and approval, then dragged his thumb hard and slow across the full shape of her pussy again. âMmm,â he grunted, voice dropped low, âYou got a fat pussy.â
The words hit harder than she expected. Her laugh spilled out wrongâhigh and helpless, trying to escape the way her thighs clenched, the way her hips rocked forward without her consent. Her fingers twitched like she didnât know where to place them. Lifted, dropped, useless.
Elijahâs voice stayed calm. Steady. Close to her ear like it was meant for nobody else, âThat must mean you take well, huh?â
He didnât wait for her to answer.
She couldnât.
Her hips tilted just a little, but it was enough. That slow shift gave them everything they needed to keep going. Elias let his palm settle flat against her pussy, thumb still dragging slow lines up the soaked cotton. His hand was broad, heavy, unforgiving. His grip dared her to keep still.
âDonât need your words,â he said, low and gravel-slick, âYour body loud enough.â
Elijah didnât move fast. He just nudged her panties aside, slow and disrespectful. Didnât ask or hesitate. Just let the pad of his thumb press right where she pulsed. His fingers spread across her thigh again like he was proud of what he found.
âYeah,â he breathed, lips brushing her ear, âShe feel ready.â
Her head rolled back against the booth wall. Her breath shook. The lights above blurred and scattered. She blinked, but it didnât help. Her whole body was aware now. Too aware. Every nerve was standing up, every breath sounded too loud in her chest, and the slick sound of their hands working her over was starting to cut through the diner noise.
Elias didnât stop. He cupped her pussy full in his palm, fingers sliding lower to press under, thumb circling up top, slow and nasty. Her thighs kept trying to close. He kept prying them back open. The strength in his hand was too much and just right. He dragged that cotton to the side harder to the point of shredding it and dipped his finger down, groaning low as he felt the mess sheâd made.
âThis how you act when we just touchinâ? You gonâ show out when we fuckinâ?â He rasped.Â
She swallowed a sound she couldnât name. Her legs wouldnât stop shaking. Elijah just looked down, eyes hooded, rubbing slow with two fingers now. Middle and ring. Up and down, steady pressure, tracing the shape of her without putting them in. Teasing. Watching her hips chase his hand. Watching her lose track of herself.
âSoft,â Elijah whispered. âAll this thickness sittinâ pretty. She feel like she need breakinâ in.â
Her thighs jolted. Elias grinned wider.
âYeah she do,â Elias said, his voice tight now, like his jaw was locked. âShe need handlinâ. Like a big olâ plate. Meant to be held with both hands.â
Elijah leaned in again. His nose brushed her jaw. His breath fogged the shell of her ear.
âOr shared.â
She made a sound then. A real one. A whimper choked back behind clenched teeth. Her hand dropped under the table, fingers grasping Eliasâs wrist. Not to stop him. Just to hold on.
Elias dipped his finger in.
Just one. Just enough to feel the slick, hot clutch of her wrapped around him. She pulsed. Squeezed. That warm, wet flutter that made his mouth twitch in a nasty smirk.
âYou hear that?â he whispered. âShe talkinâ.â
Elijah watched. Lips parted. One hand still on her thigh, the other creeping up now, pressing low against her stomach like he needed to hold her down while she took it.
âYou ainât goinâ nowhere,â he muttered, dragging her panties down slow. âSit still.â
And she did.
Because she couldnât move.
Not with Eliasâs thick fingers pumping slow. Not with Elijah thumbing circles just above, steady and cruel. Not with both of them focused like that. Hungry. Calm. Dirty with it. Touching her like she was dessert and they had time.
They werenât playing.
They were getting started.
Elias didnât rush. His thumb worked over her pussy again, dragging lazy through the wetness that had already spread across his fingers.
âStill drippinâ, girl,â he said low, voice thick with approval, âYou like this nasty shit, huh?â
She clenched around nothing, her eyes fluttering half-closed.
Elijah touched next, smoother. His fingers pressed into her slick skin with a patient curiosity that made her pulse stutter. He slid upward, thumb grazing the soft shape of her lips, then dragged back down again, feeling how swollen she was. It made him shift in his seat, jaw tightening.
âMy shit hard,â he said, almost to himself.
Elias grinned without looking up, âShe makinâ my dick jump.â
Her thighs trembled between theirs. She tried to angle her hips, desperate for more pressure, more friction, anything. But they controlled the pace. The rhythm. They always did.
âYou like fuckinâ this much?â Elias asked, voice unbothered, damn near thoughtful, âWhat made you like this?â
She couldnât answer. Didnât know how. Didnât know what to say to a question like that with their thumbs working her slow, rubbing circles that got tighter each pass.
âMustâve had dick so good it rewired your brain,â Elijah said near her ear, deep and calm, âHad you chasinâ the memory of that nut.â
Elias pinched lightly, right over her clit, and she jerked in place, hand slapping the edge of the table. He rubbed it right after, soothing it.
âProlly pounded your thick ass so good,â he whispered, âleft you seeinâ stars. And now you out here tryinâ to find that same high.â
Her breath hitched. Her pussy ached. It throbbed under their hands, soaked through, lips plump and full against their fingers. Her head tipped back against the booth, eyes closed. They didnât stop.
One rubbed. The other pinched. Then switched.
Elijah teased the lips now, his fingers spreading her, pressing in to feel the curve of her, the way she opened up, puffed and needy.
âPussy got my dick on brick,â he said, barely louder than a whisper.
She whimpered. Tried to press her thighs together, but Elias nudged them wider with his knee again.
âDonât run now,â he said with a laugh that held no mercy, âYou sat your ass in this booth.â
Elijah leaned forward again, his hand palming her inner thigh, âBody begginâ for it. You hear how wet this pussy is?â
He slid his fingers down again, pushed harder, rubbed those wet lips like he wanted it to stain the seat. Elias looked at her face, her mouth open and breathing shallow. He tilted his head.
âYou ainât answer me,â he said, âWhat got you like this? What made you crave it so bad?â
She blinked, then looked away.
âI donât know,â she said, voice cracking, âI justâŚI just do.â
Elijahâs hand slid higher. He pinched her clit softly again between his fingers and tugged, just enough to tease.
Elias pressed his thumb down hard, slow circles now, grinding steady, âNah. Somebody started it.â
Elijah leaned in closer, speaking into her ear, âBet you let somebody tear it up real young. Fucked the sense outta you. Made you a fiend.â
Elias grinned, âA pretty little fiend with a fat-ass pussy. Got us sittinâ here rock hard in the middle of this booth.â
She whimpered, face buried in her elbow now, her thighs shaking from how much it all pulsedâpressure building, nerves lit. They didnât stop. Didnât let up. Didnât let her breathe without feeling something.
Elijah rubbed lower, pressing through the folds, dragging slickness down, smearing it. Elias kept his circles going, pushing firm against that swollen spot until her body tensed all the way up.
âDonât hold back,â Elijah whispered, âGo on. Let that pussy talk.â
Her stomach jumped. The tension broke.
She came under the table with her legs spread, hips rocking helplessly while they held her open.
Nobody in the room knew.
But they did.
And they werenât finished.
-----
They left the diner under neon glare.
Elijah opened the door for her again. Said nothing, just stepped aside like he was used to making space for people who mattered. Elias placed a hand on her lower back. Just enough to say you feel good right here. She took the back seat without being told, thighs still humming, panties still damp from the booth.
They slid into the SUV like the night wasnât over.
Elias behind the wheel again, one hand resting easy while the other adjusted the rearview mirror. Elijah climbed in and leaned back slow in the passenger seat, his profile catching the glow of the streetlight just enough to make her stomach flutter. The engine came alive with a low growl, and the music started up behind itâthat same heavy-lidded rhythm from earlier, bass riding low, drums scattered like footsteps on concrete. Something Southern and slow.Â
They pulled off smooth, no rush.
The city slid past the windows in long strokes of orange and blue. Storefronts shuttered. Neon signs blinking through half-closed eyes. A couple sitting on the curb outside a corner store passed a bottle back and forth, laughing about something that would only be funny at 1AM.
Inside the car, the silence was thick. Not stiffâjust aware.
She sat still, pressed against the door, watching the lights paint the leather seat beside her. Her legs stayed closed, but her breath told the truth. Shallow. Controlled. Like she was holding something down just to make it through the ride.
She felt them both up front, even without looking. Elias tapping his thumb against the steering wheel. Elijah shifting his weight slightly, just enough for his arm to flex against the window. Neither of them talked. Not yet.
But she knew they were waiting.
Waiting to see what sheâd say. What sheâd do.
The memory of their hands still lingered on her thighs. On her pussy. Their voices still curled behind her ears. That booth had stripped away something quiet in her. Peeled it back, opened her up. She hadnât stopped shaking since. Not visibly. Not in a way anyone else would notice. But inside? She was trembling.
The car slowed at a light. The red glow painted the dashboard. Her building sat four blocks away now, tucked off the main road. No doorman. No security. Just her name on a mailbox and stairs that creaked when the wind hit wrong.
The closer they got, the harder it became to sit still.
Her fingers tapped softly against her thigh.
They turned down her street.
Elijah finally looked over his shoulder. His voice was low. Steady, âThis it?â
She nodded once.
The car pulled up to the curb. The engine didnât cut off.
She looked straight ahead. Stared at the entrance. The hallway upstairs would smell like bleach and old air. Her apartment would be quiet. Dark. Still holding her heat in the sheets.
And if she went in alone tonight, she knew what would happen. Sheâd lie there with her thighs tight and her breath ragged. Sheâd touch herself again. Maybe twice. Try to remember the way Eliasâs fingers had circled her through her panties. Try to recreate the pressure of Elijahâs hand pressing her open. And it wouldnât be enough.
Not this time.
Not after what they started.
She looked down at her hands. Then up at the mirror.
Elias met her eyes there. No smile. Just stillness.
She turned her head toward Elijah. His eyes held hers for a moment. Dark. Knowing.
She took a breath.
Then another.
And said it.
âI want yâall to come up.â
No giggle. No shy smile.
Just a truth laid bare in the space between them.
Elijah nodded once. His door opened. Elias put the car in park, engine still humming.
Her heart thudded in her chest as the back door opened. Elijah reached for her hand, helping her out like they were stepping into something sacred. She didnât look around or check to see who might be watching. She just walked.
Elias stayed close behind. Elijah beside her, silent as ever.
And when they stepped into the buildingâone stair creaking under Elijahâs weight, the other catching Eliasâs bootâshe felt it rise in her like smoke.
Not nerves. Not fear.
Just need.
Real. Present.
Ready.
And she knew before she even reached her doorâŚnothing about this night would let her go untouched.
The lock clicked with a hushed finality as she turned the knob and stepped inside first, the quiet shuffle of her shoes brushing the worn entryway rug. It was dim, only a small light on the kitchen counter glowed warm, catching the gold trim on a frame, the curved lip of a wineglass left to dry, the amber gloss of hardwood that creaked beneath her step. She didnât look back at first.Â
She couldnât.
Keys hit the tray on the table by the door. Her cardigan came off next, folded over the nearest chair. She walked slow, like her body had to remember it was her space, not theirs. The apartment wasnât large, just a one-bedroom on the third floor of a brickwalk building with no elevator. The kind of spot you could fill with incense, sweat, and moans and itâd take days to air out.
But it was clean. Lived in. A throw blanket tossed over the couch, one corner half-folded. A half-dead plant leaning toward the last bit of light from the blinds. Some novels stacked on the ottoman like theyâd been touched and abandoned in a hurry. There was a chipped mug on the counter. A faint scent of body lotion and something warm that clung to skin.
She felt them behind her before they even crossed the threshold.
Elias came in first, slow and wide-shouldered, eyes sweeping the space like he could already picture the places heâd fuck her. Elijah followed, silent, hands in his pockets, gaze tracking her legs as she walked toward the kitchen like they were guiding him somewhere he already knew. They moved smooth, but heavy. Like they didnât belong inside something so soft and quiet, but they werenât about to leave either.
Elijah pushed the door until it clicked again. Stack turned the lock. Then nothing.
No one spoke.
Just movement. Low, deliberate.
Elias slipped his jacket off. Set it over the back of the chair with hers. He scanned the space with his chin up, nostrils flaring once like he smelled herâbeneath the fabric, in the air. His chain caught a flicker of that kitchen light, swinging slowly. Elijah leaned against the counter, his arms thick beneath a black long sleeve, one sneaker-clad-foot pressed to the cabinet like he owned the place.
âYou live good,â Elias said after a beat. His voice held something low in it. Something that edged too close to approval.
âCozy in here,â Elijah added, dragging his knuckles once across the counter before resting his palm flat. His eyes didnât move from her, âSmell like you.â
Her hands reached for somethingâanything to do. She opened the fridge, grabbed a bottle of chilled wine and held it out without turning around.
âWine?â
Elias gave a tilt of his chin. âYeah Iâll take some. Thanks baby girl.âÂ
She opened the cabinet. Pulled out glasses. Fingers trembled just slightly when they touched the base of the glass. Elijah noticed. Watched. The glasses filled, she turned, handed one to Elias, and placed the other beside Elijah. He didnât drink yet. Just leaned closer. Close enough to smell the perfume layered in her clothes. Not sprayed. Rubbed in. Smeared into the inside of her elbow and that part behind her ear you only got close to during a kiss or while fucking.
Elijah pushed off the counter. Slow. He looked at the books. Touched the melted wax of the low-burnedâŚlight source on the shelf. Eyes landed on a framed photo, maybe a childhood shot or something sentimental. But he didnât comment on it. Didnât need to. He looked back at her instead.
Then he saw it.
The bedroom door.
He didnât walk to it. Just paused long enough for her to notice where his eyes landed. And she did.
Elias caught that too. His lips curved a little.
âI been wonderinâ what itâd feel like,â he said, taking a sip from the wine glass, âUs. In a space like this. Real low. No lights. Just bodies.â
Her breath hitched. Barely.
Elijah still hadnât said a word to her directly. The look in his eyes was doing all the work. He walked forward and leaned over the counter now, one hand down, the other inching toward her waist like he was daring her not to move. His voice dropped lower, a grind of gravel dipped in smoke.
âYou nervous?â
She nodded again. Still no words.
Elias grinned like heâd won something. He came up behind her then. Not close enough to press, but close enough to feel the warmth from his chest behind her spine. His breath touched the shell of her ear when he spoke.
âWe ainât in no rush. Unless you want us to be.â
Her knees softened. She reached for the counter for balance.
âIâŚneed to change.â
Elias stepped back slow, hands loose at his sides like they were waiting to touch something soft. Elijah tilted his head, jaw tight, eyes dragging over her like he was taking stock of everythingâthe sway in her hips, the bare press of her thighs, the hush of her feet against the floor as she eased away.
âGo on,â Elijah said, voice low.
She turned toward the bedroom.
Elias voice followed. Deeper. Rougher, âLeave that door open.â
She paused.
Then did.
But she didnât need to change. For what? They didnât come to see lace. Didnât need no lingerie or frills. They wanted her just like thisâskin bare, body honest. Whatever she had on could come off. Slow. In front of them. With that door wide open.
The space was dim. Soft light from a lamp in the corner made her skin glow deep. There was a full body mirror propped in the far corner, tilted just slightly. It caught the movement of her dress. The shape of her curves. The panic behind her eyes. The bed was king-sized. Dark gray sheets, fluffed comforter. Pillows stacked high, some shoved to the side like sheâd napped there earlier. She stood in the middle, facing the mirror, breathing hard.
She paced like she couldnât help it. Light steps at first, then a full loop near the bed. She rubbed her palms against her thighs, then pushed one hand into her hair like it might help settle her nerves. It didnât. She kept talking. Nothing useful. A string of sentences that fell flat in the air. About the walk up the stairs. About how hot it was in the hallway. About how the wine mustâve gotten warm.
âStop all that,â Elias said, calm but final.
Theyâd come in without a word.
Both of them barefoot now. Elijahâs shirt was gone. Elias had his unbuttoned halfway, showing thick brown skin and the wide shelf of his chest. They filled the doorway like a warning. Too big. Too built. Too much.
She swallowed hard.
âGo on,â Elias said behind her, âTake it off, baby girl.â
She blinked. Froze in place.
Elijahâs tone came next. Deeper. Meaner.
âYou knew what it was when you let us come up.â
Her mouth parted. Then closed again. Like she was chewing on whether she could really say it out loud. She glanced at the floor. Then at Elias. Then Elijah. Like they were too much to take in at once. Like they werenât gonna move until she did.
âI want yâall,â she said.
Low. But strong.
âI been wantinâ yâall.â
The air in the room turned dense. Every breath sounded louder. The quiet between them stretched long, thick, charged. She shifted like she wanted to walk again, wanted to hide. Her gaze slipped off their faces, down toward her feet.
Eliasâ voice came slow.
âYou sure you can handle that, baby?â
She nodded. It wasnât confident, not all the way. But she meant it.
She swallowed hard.
âGo on,â Elias said behind her,âTake it off, baby girl.â
Her fingers moved slow at first. Reached behind to unzip her dress. Tugged it down her hips. The straps slid from her shoulders, and the whole thing pooled at her feet. She stood in her bra and panties, stomach rising with breath. Thick arms folded across her midsection, unsure.
Elijah moved first, âUh uh,â he said, âMove them arms. Let us see whatâs ours.â
She hesitated. Then dropped her arms.
She was thick all over. A deep brown beauty with stretch marks shining down her sides like they were drawn on. Her belly had a soft curve, a roll under the bra line and another where her panties hugged too tight. Her hips spread wide, thighs thick and touching. She had that kind of body that could ride dick without lifting a foot off the floor. Soft. Plush. Real.
Elias licked his bottom lip, âThatâs what Iâm talkinâ about.â
Elijah came closer, âBeen wantinâ to see this body with nothinâ on it but sweat.â
Her legs pressed together, but it only made her hips bloom wider. Her panties were wet. The cotton clung to the split of her pussy like a mouth open, ready.
Elijah touched her chin. Tilted it up, âYou still nervous?â
She didnât answer. Just stared up at him, breath shallow, lips parted.
He touched the strap of her bra. Slid it down. Let it hang.
Elias came up behind her now, close enough to make her sway. His chest brushed her back. She felt his dick hard, thick, pressing into the curve of her ass through his jeans.
âYou a lilâ slut, huh?â Elias whispered against her ear, âStandinâ there so quietâŚdrippinâ.â
He ran two fingers down the center of her back.
âGo ahead,â Elijah said, still in front of her, âTake off them panties. Let big daddy see what you been hidinâ.â
Her knees shook. But she obeyed. Hooked her thumbs in the sides and eased them down, slow. Her thighs jiggled. Her pussy came into viewâfat-lipped, glistening. A perfect mess. Full. Bare.
Elijah grabbed himself through his pants, âDamn, mamas. You wet like this just from us talkinâ?â
She looked away, embarrassed, but Stack caught her chin from behind.
âLook in that mirror,â he said, voice sharp, âDonât run from it.â
She did.
What she saw made her gasp. Two tall, dark men on either side of her. Elias behind, dick throbbing against her ass. Elijah in front, chest bare, reaching for his zipper. Her body was thick between them. Dark thighs. Glossed lips. Nipples poking through her bra like they needed pressure.
âSay it again,â Elijah said.
âWhat?â
âThat you want us. Say it again.â
She swallowed, âI want yâall. I want you in me.â
Elias growled low, mouth on her neck now, âWhere you want us, baby girl?â
âWherever yâall want to be.â
Elijah palmed her face, kissed her hard. Tongue deep, hand heavy on her jaw.
Elias pushed his palm down her spine. Then lower. One hand sliding between her cheeks.
âShe talk like that again, Iâma nut before I even get in.â
âYou gonâ get in,â Elijah said, âWe both are.â
Elijah brought his hand up slow. The pads of his fingers touched her chin first. Then the rest of his hand cupped her jaw like it was made for it. His touch was warm. Steady. But his eyes? They burned.
âLook at me when you say it,â Elias said, deep and even.
She tried to blink, but he held her there. So she spoke, just above a whisper.
âI want yâall to touch me.â
Elijah made a sound behind her. Something like a groan, dragged low and heavy from the chest. She could feel him moving now. Closer. His body a slow, steady force until the front of him pressed right up against her back. His hands came to her hips, fingers spreading wide like he meant to hold her in place.
Elias leaned in closer, nose brushing her cheek, still watching her, âWhere?â
Her lips parted again. Sound stuck in her throat.
âWhere you want us to touch you first?â he asked, voice sticky with hunger, âSay it slow.â
Her chest rose, then fell. She breathed through it. Her legs started shaking again, but she didnât move. Didnât run. The words took effort. She had to dig for them. But they came.
âMy titties,â she said, voice cracked open and real, âWanna feel yâall on my titties.â
Elijahâs palm dragged up from her hip, grazing the underside of her breast. Not cupping it yetâjust teasing. Elias moved his hand to the back of her neck, gripped it light.
âAnd after that?â Elijahâs breath hit the shell of her ear, âWhat you want us to touch next?â
Her eyes darted to the mirror. She could see all of it now. Her reflection between them, framed by two men with big hands and darker intentions. She saw her nipples stiff, her pussy leaking onto her thighs. She saw Elijahâs chest rising behind her. Eliasâs bulge thick and long, pressing behind the zipper like it couldnât wait to be free.
âMy pussy,â she whispered, âI want yâall to touch my pussy.â
Elias exhaled, sharp and dark, âThatâs right, baby.â
He stepped in, brought his mouth down to her neck. Licked slow from the edge of her shoulder to the space just under her jaw. Meanwhile Elijahâs hand moved higher, thumb brushing her nipple through the bra, then slipping under the cup. She gasped. It was rough. Not soft. Not delicate. They were done playing sweet.
âTake that bra off,â Elijah said, voice thick now, âWanna see them titties when I suck âem.â
Her fingers fumbled at the back clasp. Elias helped, one hand sliding under to unhook it while his lips stayed close to her throat. The bra fell. Her breasts bounced free, full and plush, dark brown nipples stiff and swollen. Elias stepped back to look. Elijah stayed pressed against her, hands gripping both tits now, thumbs circling her peaks.
âShe got fat ass nipples,â Elias said, licking his bottom lip, âThey taste as good as they look?â
âBetter,â Elijah muttered, then bent low and latched onto one. His mouth pulled deep, tongue swirling as he sucked hard. Wet sounds filled the room. Sloppy. Nasty. Her head dropped back onto his shoulder with a moan.
âDamn,â he breathed low, voice gravel-wrapped, dick hard as concrete behind his zipper, âThese titties talkinâ to me.â
She chuckled, but it caught in her throat when he bent down.
Six feet and some change, folding at the waist, face first into her softness like he needed air and her titties were the only way to breathe. His mouth caught the left one firstâwet, open, greedy. Lips pulled that areola in slow, thick and fat and sensitive. He wrapped his mouth around it, sucked until the noise echoed off the walls, let it slip out with a pop, then slapped the underside of it with his tongue. Dark brown nipple turned darker, swollen with his spit.
He took his time. Switched to the right. Left hand holding the left tit like it was his favorite dessert. He sucked hard, then soft. Fast, then lazy. Alternating patterns like a man who liked to test limits. She let out a sound that made his dick jumpâdeep, guttural, trembling from the base of her belly. Her thighs pressed tight. Her feet shuffled like she needed a wider stance just to keep standing.
His hand squeezed the weight of both, lifted them, bounced them just to feel the jiggle. âShitâŚthese titties got some bounce to âem. Gone make me lose my damn mind.â
He dragged his teeth slow along the curve, then bit. Not hard, just enough to make her hiss. His spit shined all over them now. He spread it with his palm, slicked that nipple up, then sucked it back down again like a man who couldnât stay away.
âYou like me tearinâ âem up like this?â he rasped against her skin, âGot me hard as fuck, girl. I could eat on you all fuckinâ night.â
His mouth stayed movingâsucking, licking, dragging across her chest like it was his playground. She swore, fingers trembling as they went to his head, palming the back of his head, guiding him back and forth across her breasts like she was trying to give him a map of pleasure and ruin.
He popped off one nipple and spit on it, slow. Let it drip. Watched it slide down her belly while she squirmed.
âAinât even slid my dick in you yet,â he said, rubbing the side of his face against her left tit, smiling lazy like a devil in the flesh, âBut you drippinâ, huh? Soaked already. That pussy clenchinâ on nothinâ, just from me suckinâ these titties.â
She whimpered, grinding her hips on air.
She whimpered, legs tightening, hands braced against the wall behind her. Her body jolted when he tugged her nipple with his mouth and popped it free, just to lick it again in slow, wet circles.
âDamn, baby,â Elijah rasped, voice thick and low, âYou feel that? Daddy suckinâ this big ass titty just like you need.â
Her head fell back. Her pussy throbbed.
Then Elias stepped in. Cool and slow, licking his lips, eyes locked on the untouched right titty like it was his turn to eat.
âYou hold them titties up for us,â he said, voice deep enough to drop into her bones, âHold âem up like a good lilâ thing. Let us feed.â
Her hands came up without hesitation. She cradled the weight of her tits and lifted them like an offering, her arms trembling from the size and weight of them, but more from the need. She looked down and watched both men dip low, faces vanishing into her chest.
Elijah on the left. Elias on the right.
Twin tonguesâwarm, slick, relentless. Suckinâ and flickinâ, takinâ turns dragginâ their tongues over her swollen nipples. Long, thick lips pulled and twisted, mouths locking down with filthy, wet sounds that echoed in the quiet room. Her pussy pulsed, sticky and wet between her thighs, clenching on nothing.
âShitâŚâ she whispered, watching them, âOh fuckâŚâ
Elijah reached up, slapped the side of her thigh, âThat feel good, baby?â
Elias followed it up with his own brand of filth, âThese titties so fuckinâ good. Look at âem jump when I suck âem. You lettinâ both your daddies eat like this? Dirty lilâ fuckinâ girlâŚâ
They had her trapped in the sweetest kind of wayâtwo tall, broad-backed men bent at her chest, each with a mouthful of her. Saliva slicked her skin. Their hands came up, thumbing her nipples, pinching them while their tongues rolled across the tips again and again.
She moaned out loud, toes curling against the carpet, mouth open.
âThatâs it,â Elijah growled, switching nipples with his brother so they could taste each side, âLet us feed, girl. Let us fuckinâ taste them titties. You know we need it.â
Elias licked her all the way around her areola, then sucked the nipple so deep into his mouth she cried out.
âSay thank you,â Elias said, tongue dragging wet across the underside of her tit, âSay thank you for both your daddies suckinâ on these fat ass titties.â
âTh-Thank youâfuckâthank youâŚâ
They groaned in unison. Elijah reached down to grip her ass in both hands, fingers digging into the soft thickness there while he sucked again, hard. Elias pulled her nipple between his teeth and let it go with a pop, then dragged the flat of his tongue across both tits just to feel the weight of them bounce.
Her thighs were trembling now. Pussy soaked. Their breath hot against her skin. Her arms were getting tired but she didnât dare stop holdinâ âem up. Not when they were still suckinâ her like she was dessert and they hadnât had dinner.
âLilâ nasty bitch,â Elijah mumbled, licking up her tit and circling the areola with slow precision, âDrippinâ all down your thighs while we feed on you.â
âYou wet?â Elias smirked against her nipple, his teeth grazing just enough to tease, âYou got that pussy leakinâ just from gettinâ these titties sucked?â
She nodded, helpless.
Elijah grinned, eyes sharp now, âYou know what that mean, right? We ainât even touched that pussy yet. But she ready for both of us. Ainât that right, girl?â
Her voice barely worked, âYes, DaddyâŚâ
âGood girl,â Stack said, and sucked again.
her mouth parted, forming a moaning. And thatâs when Elias leaned in from the right, one hand on her cheek, the other with a handful of her right titty, mouth crashing into hers with no warning.
He kissed like a man starved. No build up. No permission. Just hot tongue, lips parted, tongue sliding past hers with heat and pressure. Their mouths opened and met againâwet, sloppy, lips smacking. He licked deep into her like he wanted to taste the nut she still had in her throat. Their heads tilted, breath tangled, his hand wrapped in her curls, pulling her to stay on his mouth. She moaned into him, kissed him back messy, mouth greedy, spit thick between them.
Then Elijah grabbed her jaw and yanked her face toward him, âUh uh,â he growled, âMine now.â
He swallowed her mouth whole. Hot. Wet. Tongue pushing in deep, lips sealing around hers while his fingers gripped her face like he needed to hold her together. Their mouths moved fastâno rhythm, just hunger. Tongue twisting, licking the inside of her lips, lips slapping, breath hitching from how nasty it felt. He kissed her like her mouth was a pussy and he needed to fuck it slow.
Elias wasnât having it. He grabbed the back of her neck, pulled her away from Elijahâs lips with a string of spit trailing, and kissed her again but harder.
âShe mine too, nigga.â Elias said against her lips, then kissed her like he wanted to claim her taste. Mouth open. Teeth brushing. Tongue thick and wet, sliding along hers with no shame.
They kept switching her back and forth. Like a war. Like a game. Elijah slid his hand to her throat and kissed her sideways, taking her mouth from a different angle, swallowing her moan. Elias bit her bottom lip. Tugged it. Elijah sucked her tongue. Elias licked under it. Their lips kept smacking against hers, back to back to back, like a filthy rhythm section in a blues club nobody was supposed to talk about. One gripped her face. The other held her hips. One took her top lip. The other buried his tongue so deep she choked. Wet sounds filled the roomâspit, lips, tongues, moans. Her mouth was soaked, her chin wet, her lips swollen.
They werenât done yet.
Not even close.
Elijah straightened up slow, body pressed close. He grabbed his dick through his jeans, eyes still locked on her chest.
Elias dropped to his knees in front of her, hands dragging down her hips to her thighs. He spread her legs wider and leaned in close.
âPussy still drippinâ, ainât it?â
She nodded, dazed.
âLet me see,â he said, âLet me see what kind of mess we made.â
Elijah let her go long enough for Elias to pull her forward, guiding her foot up onto the bed just enough for her folds to part. Below, Elias was already on his knees. Broad shoulders between her legs, eyes trained on the fat drip sliding down the inside of her thigh. His gold chain swung a little when he shifted, tongue wetting his bottom lip like he was staring down his next meal. Her pussy lips were thick and full, shining with slick. Cream lined the crease, dripping down to her inner thigh.
âDamn,â Elias said, âLook at all that. This shit glossy.â
He spit on it. Slow and wet. Dripping down his chin. Then rubbed his thumb through it. She jerked, almost buckled, but Elijah caught her.
âStand still,â Elijah warned, hands gripping her waist.
Elias licked up the middle of her pussy like he had all night. Tongue flat and wide, dragging slow before circling her clit. She hissed through her teeth. His mouth locked on, sucking, licking, tongue dipping inside. Her legs trembled harder now.
Elijah held her tighter. One hand wrapped around her throat. Not choking. Just enough pressure to keep her from floating off.
He spit on it againâslow and messyâwatching it roll down over her clit, catching on the curve of her pussy before dripping onto the hardwood. Thick, nasty. He rubbed his thumb right through it, pressed into the wet like he owned it, and she jerked forward. Her belly tightened, knees buckling for a split second.
Elijah gripped her harder, âDidnât I say stand still?â
A soft whimper slipped from her lips. Her head fell back against his shoulder. His palm shifted from her throat to her chin, turning her head toward him.
âKeep your eyes open, babygirl. I want you to see what your nasty ass let happen tonight.â
Elias didnât waste time. Tongue flat and wide, he licked her slow from the bottom upâlong stroke like he was trying to taste the whole damn day off her. The tension in her belly snapped like elastic. Her hips twitched. A moan poured out, low and broken.
âOhhhâshitââ
He licked again. This time slower. Then circled the tip of his tongue around her clit in a tight spiral, never breaking contact. His lips wrapped around it and suckedâsharp and wetâthen pulled back to slap it with his tongue again. She trembled. Her legs were screaming now, body betraying her with every pulse and shake.
âNah, keep still,â Elias said, voice muffled against her pussy, âYou wanted this, right? Donât run now.â
He gripped the backs of her thighs and pulled her down onto his face like he needed her seated there. Like she weighed nothing. Like she weighed everything. His mouth got filthy thenâslurping, sucking, tongue dipping in deep and curling. He buried his nose, pushed his whole face against the fat of her pussy like heâd been starving for her. It was loud. Sticky. Echoing off the walls. That mix of spit and slick that sounded obscene, wet enough to make the room humid.
Elijah groaned behind her, âLook how she jumpinâ. You feel that?â
She nodded, barely. Her throat was tight, her eyes glassy. She whimpered again, higher now. Her hands reached behind her, searching for himâfingernails digging into his wrist where it pressed to her stomach. He didnât move. He just gripped her tighter.
âTalk to my bro,â Elijah said, voice in her ear. âLet him know what that mouth doinâ to you.â
Her lips parted. Soundless at first. Then breathy, âF-fuck, Elias. That feel so goodâŚâ
âLouder,â Elijah growled, âLet him know.â
Her stomach jumped, âPlease. Please donât stop.â
 Elias cut in, voice slick with spit. âYou gonâ stand here and take this tongue like the good girl you tryna be.â
He spit again, directly on her clit, and watched it run down like syrup. Then he closed his mouth around her whole pussy and sucked hard. Loud. The noise of it made Elijah chuckle low.
âThatâs it,â Elias said, tongue darting between her folds again, âDonât close them legs. Keep that foot up. Let me lick all this rich-ass pussy.â
He started stroking her thighs while he ate, dragging his nails gently along the crease where her body folded, tongue still swirling around her clit. Then down again. Inside. Fucking her with it. Curling it deep. Pulling moans out of her like she owed him sound.
Her eyes rolled. Her hands shook.
Elijahâs grip moved back to her throat, âDonât you dare cum yet.â
She gasped. âButââ
âI said no.â
Her whole body was shivering now. Elias kept licking. Relentless. Like he was licking a memory into her skin. Like he wanted her body to remember this every night after. He pulled back for a moment, lips wet and glistening, beard soaked. He tapped her clit with two fingers, soft but fast, then leaned back in and sucked it hard again.
âShit,â he groaned, âShe taste like she been sittinâ in honey all damn day.â
Elijah laughed once behind her, dark and low.
âShe been waitinâ for this. All that attitude, all that frontinââthis what she wanted.â
Elias eased a finger inside herâthen another. Twisting them slow while his tongue teased the top. Her body stuttered. Hips jolted. She keened.
âElijahâElijah, pleaseââ
He leaned in close to her ear again.
âGo âhead, babygirl. Make a mess on your sheets. We gonâ keep eatinâ through every one you got.â
Elias buried his face again, one hand gripping her ass, the other working inside her like a key. She cracked. Her pussy fluttered around his fingers, then gushed. Hard. Messy. Loud.
She wailed.
Her knees buckled, and Elijah caught her just in time.
âThatâs it,â Elias said, licking slow through her aftershock. âThatâs that good girl nut.â
Elijah turned her chin toward him and kissed her lipsâslow, with tongueâlike he was tasting the mess on her mouth through her breath.
The room still carried the noise of her climaxâwet, ragged, drawn straight from her gut. Her thighs trembled where they spread wide, and the dark brown of her skin glistened under the low gold lamp by the bed. One foot was still propped on the edge, calf twitching, nails digging into the sheets like she was scared to fall through the mattress. Elias backed up, mouth slick, beard damp, and gave her pussy one more drag of his tongue before smirking.
âShe said my name,â Elijah muttered, kneeling low behind her.
Elias wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, âShe said it loud, too. Sounded pretty. You gonâ let her say it again, or what?â
Elijah didnât answer. He just grabbed her hips and turned her, slow and firm, until she was on all fours. Her back dipped with the weight of what theyâd done to her already, arms trembling under her. The curve of her ass rolled soft and wide, her pussy peeking back between her thick thighsâfat, swollen, and still leaking from Eliasâs tongue.
âArch that back,â Elijah said low.
She whimpered and pushed out, spine bending deeper. He gripped her ass, spread her open, and buried his face.
The first lick made her cry out. She dropped to her elbows, mouth open, body jerking forward like it was too much. Elijah held her steady, one hand wrapped around her waist while his tongue dragged from the bottom of her slit up to her clit. Long. Slow. Intentional.
âGood girl,â Elias said from the side, voice deep, low, proud, âTakinâ it like that.â
She let out a moan that broke halfway, breath hitching when Elijah pushed his face in deeper. His nose rubbed her hole, his lips wrapped around that puffy little pearl and sucked hard enough to make her ass clap back against him. He didnât let up. Slurped loud. Ate like he was tryna make her cum again before she caught her breath.
âThatâs it, eat that shit,â Elias encouraged, fisting his dick through his jeans slow while watching her melt.
Her pussy was a mess. Plump, dark lips glistening with spit and slick. Elijah tongued through every fold, licking so deep she buckled forward and tried to crawl away.
âWhere you goinâ?â he growled, dragging her back, âDidnât fuckinâ say you could move.â
She gasped, knuckles white against the bed, legs trembling again.
âKeep it poked out. Just like that,â Elias told her, palming his shit and watching her arch back up like she needed it more than air. Elijah buried his face again, wet noises filling the room. His tongue pushed into her hole while his thumb rolled her clit in slow, filthy circles. Her whole body shook.
âYou gonâ give me that nut, ainât you?â he asked against her pussy, âThis the one I want. From the back. Let me hear you cry when I suck it out.â
She choked on a sob, jaw hanging, body swaying. Elias got up in front of her, grabbed her chin, and made her look up, âLook at me while he suck that pussy,â he ordered. âYou told me you wanted him. Say it again.â
âElijah,â she panted, âGoddamnâElijahâŚâ
âThatâs it,â Elijah growled, âSay my name while I drown in this shit.â
He sucked so hard she screamed. Spit ran down her thighs. Her clit pulsed like it was gonna explode. He spit on it, let it drip, and licked it back up with slow, thick strokes of his tongue. His fingers dug into her cheeks, spreading her wider.
Elias groaned and gripped himself harder, âShe clenchinâ like she ready. You feel that?â
Elijah didnât respond. He moaned into her pussy and kept sucking, tongue flicking against her clit like it was punishment. She bucked once, twiceâthen squealed. A high-pitched, broken sound that cracked the silence wide open. Her thighs locked around his head, her whole body convulsed, and her cum gushed straight into his mouth.
He didnât stop.
Just stayed right thereâface buried, nose pressed deep, tongue fucking her through every wave.
Elias laughed dark, âShe squirted in your face?â
âFuck yeah,â Elijah growled, pulling back just enough to talk, his mouth shiny, beard dripping, âShe taste like fuckinâ heaven.â
âFlip her over,â Elias said, voice hoarse with lust, âShe need dick now.â
âI want that throat first,â Elijah said, wiping his mouth and stroking himself hard.
âShe gonâ take both.â
She was limp, wrecked, breath hitching in sobs that sounded like pleasure soaked in pain. But when Elias pulled her up, kissed her cheek, and whispered, âThatâs my good girl,â she smiled through it.
And opened her mouth.
Elias stepped closer, his hand shooting out to grip her chin, tilting her face up to meet his gaze.
âDown, baby girl,â he commanded, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through her core.Â
She sank to her knees without a word, her heavy breasts swaying with the motion, nipples hardening even more. Her pussy throbbed, slick and aching from the way their presence filled the space, demanding her submission. Elias loomed over her, his bulge straining against his jeans, while Elijah pushed off the wall, closing in from the side, his own arousal evident in the thick outline pressing forward.
âGet to work, little slut,â Elias growled, guiding her trembling hands to his belt.Â
Her fingers fumbled with the button of his jeans, popping it open with a soft click that echoed in the charged silence. She tugged the zipper down slowly, tooth by tooth, her breath coming in shallow pants as the fabric parted. Hooking her thumbs into the waistband, she yanked his jeans and briefs down in one motion, his big, fat, long dick springing free, heavy and veined, the dark shaft curving slightly, the swollen head already beading with precum. It slapped against his thigh before she caught it, her palm wrapping around the girth that her fingers couldn't fully encircle.
Elijah chuckled darkly, stepping right up beside his brother, âDon't forget Daddy number two, princess.â
She turned her head, eyes wide with that mix of nerves and raw need, and repeated the ritual on himâunbuttoning his jeans with shaky precision, dragging the zipper down to reveal the matching monster beneath. His dick was just as massive, almost as thick as her wrist and stretching long, the skin smooth and taut over rigid muscle, pulsing in the open air. She pulled it out fully, both hands now occupied, one stroking Elias's length from base to tip, the other doing the same for Elijah, feeling the heat radiate into her palms as they hardened even more under her touch.
âLook at you, handling this big dick like a good girl,â Elias praised, his hand tangling in her thick curls, not pulling yet but holding firm.Â
She leaned in toward Elias first, her tongue darting out to trace the underside of his shaft, licking from the heavy balls up to the flared head in one long, wet swipe. The salty tang of his skin exploded on her taste buds, making her mouth water as she swirled her tongue around the tip, lapping at the slit to collect every drop of precum. Slurping sounds filled the room as she sucked the head into her mouth, her cheeks hollowing with effort, lips stretching wide around his thickness. She bobbed slowly at first, savoring the way he filled her, her tongue pressing flat against the vein that throbbed along the bottom.
Elijah's patience snapped quick.
 âMy turn, baby doll,â he grunted, fisting her hair and tugging her head sideways with a firm yank.Â
She gasped, releasing Elias with a wet pop, strings of saliva connecting her lips to his glistening dick, before her mouth engulfed Elijah's. She dove in deep, sucking hard on the head while her hand pumped the base, twisting slightly to add friction. Her tongue flicked rapidly under the ridge, then flattened to lick broad strokes along the length as she took more of him in, slurping greedily, the obscene noises mixing with her soft moans. Her big ass shifted, pussy clenching emptily, juices building as the tension built, her body screaming for more.
âThat's it, suck Daddy's dick like you mean it,â Elijah rasped, thrusting shallowly into her mouth, watching her saggy titties bounce with each movement.Â
She gave it everything, hollowing her cheeks tighter, slurping louder as she worked her way down, gagging slightly when the head hit the back of her throat but pushing through, tears pricking her eyes from the stretch. Her free hand reached back to fondle his balls, rolling them gently while she licked and sucked, coating every inch in her spit until it dripped down her chin onto her cleavage.
Elias wasn't waiting idle. He grabbed her hair from the other side, pulling her back to him with a possessive tug.
 âShare that nasty mouth, slut,â he demanded, and she switched again, her lips wrapping around his dick once more, sucking with renewed vigor.Â
She licked the shaft sloppily, tongue dragging in messy circles, then took him deep, her throat relaxing to let him slide further, slurping as she pulled back only to plunge down again. The swinging of her titties grew wilder with the back-and-forth rhythm, nipples tingling, sending jolts straight to her dripping core.Â
Elijah stroked himself lazily, smearing her saliva along his length, his eyes dark with lust. âKeep going, princess. Make that dick shine with spit.â
She alternated faster now, driven by their guiding hands in her hair, each tug switching her focus, her mouth a relentless machine of licking, slurping, and sucking. On Elias, she focused on the head, tonguing the slit relentlessly while her hand jerked the shaft in tight, slick strokes. Then Elijah pulled her over, and she deepthroated him as best she could, gagging wetly, saliva bubbling at the corners of her mouth as she sucked hard, her tongue undulating along the underside. Her pussy pulsed with every filthy sound, the ache building to a fever pitch, thighs pressing together for any friction.Â
âFuck, you're a messy little thing,â Elias groaned, watching her work, âDripping all over yourself for this fat dick.â
Elijah nodded, yanking her back to him, âSuck harder, baby girl. Show us how bad you want Daddy's load.â
She obeyed, redoubling her efforts, lips sealed tight around his girth, slurping voraciously as she bobbed, her head twisting side to side for extra sensation. Her titties heaved, swinging low and heavy, brushing her arms with each eager motion. The room pulsed with their grunts and her muffled whimpers, the urban night outside forgotten in this raw, gritty haze of dominance and surrender. They kept her bouncing between them, hair pulled taut, mouths demanding more, the tension coiling tighter toward the inevitable explosion of filth.
She was on her knees, thighs spread wide, soft stomach folding just right, titties hanging freeâdripping from the sweat between her curves. Her mouth was glistening, lips swollen from working Elias over like she was born for it.
Elias exhaled through his teeth, head tilted back as he grunted through the rush building in his gut. She had both hands on his thighs, digging into that muscle like she needed anchoring. But her mouth? Her mouth was a problem.
âFuck,â he growled, jaw locked tight, âDamn, she gonâ make me nut.â
He looked down at her, watched the way she took him in slow, then pulled back, tongue slick and eyes low like she knew what she was doing to him. Like she wanted him shaking. His thighs flexed. His whole face twisted up. He gripped the arm of the chair he was in, his voice rough.
âShe keep suckinâ, look at her,â Elias said low, voice full of tension, âGreedy lil thingâŚthat shit buildinâ in my balls, fuck.â
She didnât stop. Didnât even blink. She made love to his dick like she was hungry and full at the same time. Like she was tryna prove she knew what men needed before they did. And that mouth? That damn mouthâwarm, sloppy, obedient and filthy.
When she switched to Elijah, he was already standing close behind her, dick hanging heavy, glistening at the tip. He didnât need no invitation. Just stepped forward and let her take him again. She opened wide and wrapped those lips around him like she was home.
âDamn,â Elijah groaned, his voice deep and jagged, âYou can suck some dick. That what you love, huh? Love suckinâ dick? FuckâŚâ
He palmed the top of her head, that wide hand spreading over her scalp like a man possessed. She kept going, messier now, spit stringing from her chin down to her chest. She gagged a little but didnât stop. Just breathed through her nose and let him push in deeper. Elijah didnât give her no break. Not with the way she was suckinâ like she wanted every drop.
âAinât no way Iâm stoppinâ you,â he muttered, voice shaking with need, âYou want it? Here it go.â
He shoved in harder, whole dick damn near down her throat, holding her there like she was made for that. He watched her throat work, eyes damn near rollinâ back at the way she handled him. Like she didnât need air. Like she didnât care. He held her in place a little longer, watching her struggle and take it, eyes watering, tits bouncing from the motion.
Elias was watching the whole time, licking his lips, dick still wet and leaking from her earlier attention, âGreedy fuckinâ mouth. You suckinâ him like you sucked me. You tryna empty both us out, huh?â
She moaned around Elijahâs shaft and that shit sent a vibration straight through him. He groaned loud, hips jerking, slapping against her face. He pulled out for just a second, letting her catch one breathâjust oneâbefore shoving back in. She didnât flinch. She welcomed it.
âLook at this nasty lil slut,â Elijah hissed, âTakinâ dick like itâs the last.â
âShe donât need nothinâ else,â Elias said, stroking himself slow, his tip still shiny, âNot when she suck like this. Got my dick twitchinâ again.â
Her knees were sore now. Thighs sticky from where her own arousal had leaked down. But she didnât complain. Didnât stop. Just kept working that throat like a profession. Like a mission. Like she wanted to wear them both out and still have âem begginâ.
Elijah yanked her off for a second, spit trailing from her lips, âCâmon now, say that shit. Say what you is.â
She looked up through those lashes, face slick, voice raspy, âIâm yâallâs nasty bitch tonight. Donât want nothinâ else.â
Elias groaned. Elijah smirked.
âOpen up,â Elijah said, tugging her hair, âWe ainât even started.â
They passed her back and forth like smoke and sin. One hand on her scalp, the other around the base of their dicks, guiding her mouth like it was theirs to use. Her throat stayed busyâraw, stretched, soaking wetâand she didnât flinch. She took it. Jaw wide, spit bubbling, eyes glazed over like she was high off the taste of them.
Elias held her there longer this time.
Thick fingers gripped the back of her neck while his other hand rested on the slope of her back, keeping her in place. His hips rocked slow but deep, watching her throat flex around him. She gagged, eyes watering. He didnât ease up.
âYeah, hold that shit,â Elias growled, âLet it sit in your throat, baby. You know what you doinâ.â
She whimpered around him, wet and choking, the sound only making him harder. He eased out with a groan, strands of spit clinging to the tip, and let her breathe. Just for a second.
Then Elijah stepped up. Already hard again, veins throbbing along the shaft, his whole body humming with tension. He grabbed the sides of her face, thumb rubbing a streak of wet from her cheek.
âAinât done with that mouth,â he rasped, before pushing in, slower than Elias but deeper.
He filled her up. Kept going until his hips were flush to her face and her nose was buried in his groin. She whimpered again, and his fingers tightened.
âHold it,â Elijah ordered, voice low, âGreedy lil throatâkeep it. I feel that shit squeezinâ me. DamnâŚâ
She held him there. Shaking, drooling, thighs twitching. He stayed buried in her, his head tilting back as he hissed through clenched teeth. When he finally pulled out, her lips were red and swollen, chest heaving, whole face a wet mess.
Both men stood over her, breathing heavy, dicks dripping, watching her on her knees like a feast laid out and tasted, but not finished.
Elias stepped in first. Grabbed her by the arm and yanked her up to her feet like she weighed nothinâ.
âGet on that bed,â he said, âHands on the edge. Arch that big ass for me.â
She obeyed, stumbling toward the bed, legs shaky, throat sore but pussy throbbinâ. Her hands braced the mattress, soft belly hanging, ass pushed out and wide like a gift unwrapped. The room was thick with breath and the musk of fuck.Â
âAinât even gotta ask if you ready,â he chuckled, voice dark.Â
------
The bed was wide, low to the ground, draped in wrinkled sheets that matched the state of her bodyâundone, slick, trembling. Her thick thighs trembled beneath two sets of hands. Her dark skin gleamed under sweat and spit, kissed raw from mouths that hadnât stopped feasting.
Elijah was behind her again, kneeling deep in the dip of her lower back. His beard was glistening, gluing to her skin as he tongued the mess between her legs like he was trying to live in it. His arms flexed, forearms soaked from where her pussy kept leaking down them. He grunted into it, tongue slipping inside her, then dragging up to suck her clit hard.
âShe talkinâ with this pussy,â Elijah growled, voice ragged from how long heâd been eating her, âSayinâ donât stop.â
Her body jolted each time he pulled her clit into his mouth again. Elias was in front of her now, holding her up by her big, soft breasts, his hands full and greedy. Her knees were shot. Her spine had no say in anything. She sagged between them, tears beading in her eyes from the intensity.
Elias let go of one tit to stroke his dick slow, watching her melt like butter. Her eyes drifted down, dazed and hungry.
âYou ready to be filled, baby girl?â he asked low, his tone a warning wrapped in need.
She nodded.
He tapped the swollen head against her lips.
âPut it in your mouth then. Let daddy feel that throat again.â
She opened up for him, tongue flicking the tip first like she needed to taste every drop he gave. Then she pushed deeper, moaning softly as she let it glide across her tongue and past her lips. Elias groaned, deep and low, his hips shifting forward with rhythm, not forceâjust enough to sink in and stay.
Behind her, Elijah stood, eyes locked on her dripping cunt. He gripped his own dick, fat and smooth, veins like raised tracks against his brown skin. He let the weight of it drop across her back first, a thick thud that made her flinch. She could feel how solid it wasâhow long.
âYou gon keep this pussy open like a nasty lil slut,â Elijah muttered, dragging the head through her folds, wet sounds loud in the room,,âLet me stretch you like you need.â
And then he pushed in.
Slow.
Mean.
No remorse.Â
He didnât ease up. Didnât tease. Just slid in with a steady press, dragging every inch until his hips met the curve of her ass.Â
Her walls stretched slow around him, swallowing dick like she was made for it, like her body knew exactly what to do with him.
Elijah paused once he was buried, groaning through gritted teeth as her pussy gripped him tight and hot. His stomach clenched. His jaw locked. He hissed out a breath.
âFuckâŚâ
Then he popped her.
A sharp smack to her assâfirst one cheek, then the other. Her thick body jumped under him, skin jiggling with each slap. He did it again, just to watch the bounce. Then both his big hands came down to grip and juggle the flesh, spreading her wide so he could see the way her pussy stretched around him. Creamy and plush. Still leaking from the head of his dick.
âGoddamn, girl,â he rasped, voice getting rougher with every second, âYou so fuckin thick Iâma lose my mind in this shit.â He slapped her again, rougher now, then gripped her deep, âGot this wide ass sittinâ up begginâ. Pussy all fat tryna hold daddy hostage.â He rocked into her once, just a grind, then dragged out halfway before sliding back in, âYou feel me âbout to knockinâ a whole new hole in this pussy, huh? Stretchinâ it out âcause you too fine to be fucked soft. Big girl like you? You need dick that rearrange shit.â
She wailed into the sheets, body trembling. He caught her hips tighter.
âUh huh. Take this shit. Let this dick sit up in you.â
He angled his hips and stroked deeper, long and slow, grinding at the end like he wanted to fuck her into the mattress. Like her body was a problem he planned on solving all night.
âGonâ leave this pussy talkinâ different by the time Iâm done,â he growled, balls slapping wet against her soaked folds as he started moving again.
Her throat let out a cry, muffled by Eliasâs dick. Her walls clamped tight, tears slipping down her face from the stretch. Elijah hissed.
âThis what you wanted?â he said, digging in deeper. âThat full feelinâ? All this dick sittinâ inside you?â
He started stroking, slow but with weight. Each thrust made her body rock forward, mouth sucking harder like the pleasure was too much and not enough. Elias grabbed the back of her head, moving in and out of her mouth steady, his grip firm but not rough.
Her moans were caught in both men, muffled, soaked. Elias was sweating, jaw clenched as he fucked into her throat.
âNasty ass girl,â Elias groaned, âLetting us fuck you like this.â
âShe wanted it though,â Elijah said from behind, hips slapping now, faster, âBrought us up here to do just this.â
She was gone. Eyes rolling. Pussy fluttering.
Elijah felt it.
âShe close.â
âLet her cum.â
Elijah gripped her ass, pulled her back onto him harder, deeper. The sound of their bodies smacking was slick and loud. She moaned deep around Eliasâs dick, body tensing. Her pussy clenched so hard Elijah stilled, teeth gritted.
âFuck,â he breathed, âShe creamy as hell.â
Elias pulled out her mouth, jerking his dick just inches from her swollen lips, watching her pant and drool.
She was bent at the center of the bed now. Arms limp. Face slick. Ass arched, spread open by the stretch of Elijah still inside her. Her pussy twitched around him, pulsing in aftershocks. His balls were sticky from how wet she was. He leaned forward, hands gripping her hips, and began to stroke again. Slow. Filthy. Deep.
Elias watched from the front, stroking himself harder now. The tip of his dick bounced against her chin, smearing precum across it. As Elijah pulled out, Elias stepped behind her, dragging the head of his dick between her folds.
She moaned, backing into him just enough to feel the weight of it.
âHold still,â Elias told her, gripping her hips.
Then he pushed in.
All at once.
Thick, hard, stretching her walls around him, feeding her every inch like he meant to stay there. Her back arched, mouth open but no sound came. Just a sharp gasp as her pussy swallowed him whole.
âFuck,â he groaned, pulling back slow then thrusting again, âThis pussy too wet, too fat, fuckâŚâ
She tried to breathe but couldnât.
Elias had her bent just rightâhands still braced on the mattress, back arched deep, stomach soft and hanging, while his thick dick dragged in and out of her with a purpose. His strokes were ruthless. No rhythm. Just raw need. Each thrust hit the back of her pussy with a sound that echoed off the damn walls. He had a fist wrapped tight in her hair, pulling her back into every stroke like he owned the whole lower half of her body.
âThere you go,â he growled, sweat dripping from his neck down her spine, âTakinâ this dick like a real bitch supposed to.â
Her body rippled with every strokeâass clapping back, thick thighs quivering, folds shaking from the sheer force of him. That pussy sounded like somebody stirrinâ macaroni in the next room. Gushy. Wet. Talkinâ back every time he slid in. She wasnât saying much. Couldnât. Just soft, breathless moans spilling from her lips like she was drunk on dick.
âYesâŚyesâŚyesâŚâ
Every word broke in her throat.
Elias leaned in, yanked her hair harder, hissed in her ear, âYou feel that? Thatâs me fuckinâ the bottom out this big ass pussy. Tearinâ through it.â
Her eyes crossed. Her knees buckled.
But he held her up.
âYeah, donât run,â he said, voice heavy with sweat and dirt, âDonât run from this dick, mama. Iâm deep in your shit.â
Elijah was still standing at the edge of the bed, stroking his dick slow. It was shiny with spit and still heavy. Her mess was on it from earlier when she choked on him, and he wasnât lettinâ that slide.
He grabbed her jaw and guided her mouth to him while Elias kept fucking from behind.
âClean it,â Elijah said low, âYou left all your nut on me, now suck it off.â
She opened her mouth without a sound. Eyes dazed, mouth open. She wrapped her lips around him, tongue working over the shaft while Elias punished her pussy. Every push forward shoved her mouth deeper onto Elijah. She gagged, drooled again, moaned around his dick.
âLook at this shit,â Elias groaned, hips snapping hard, âShe suckinâ your dick while I fuck her? Fuck.â He let out a thick grunt, voice cracking from the pressure in his body, âShe gonâ make me bust so deep in her, bro. Pussy so fuckinâ goodâŚso fuckinâ goodâŚâ
His hand slid from her hair down to her ass, gripping it rough, pulling her cheeks apart so he could see her swallow him all the way. That good fat girl pussy was creamy, stretching around him with every inch. Warm and wet like heaven if heaven had a mouth and a grip.
Elijah hissed through his teeth, âShe nasty, man.â
Elias snapped his hips again. The sound of it made Elijah groan.
âNah, she somethinâ else,â Elias said, voice thick, âThis big ass fuckinâ me back. You feel that? That pussy keep squeezinâ. She fuckinâ love this shit.â
She was sobbing nowâbut from pleasure. From being too full, too stuffed, too taken. Her moans were high and soft, broken up by Elijahâs dick in her mouth and Eliasâ dick in her pussy.
âYesâŚyesâŚy-yesâŚâ
Eliasâ hand landed on her ass with a slap so loud it echoed, then gripped both cheeks, using them to pull her back onto him deeper.
âThis what you want, huh? Gettinâ your plump ass beat out in front my brother?â He laughed, wild and messy, sweat shining on his chest and brow, âYou gettinâ fucked like you supposed to. Like you need to.â
He didnât stop.
Didnât even think about stopping.
His strokes were deep, punishing, purposeful enough to make her feel every vein. He watched her ass jiggle with each thrust, the bounce hypnotic. He slapped it once, the sound loud and sharp.
Elijah was watching from the side, stroking himself again, eyes locked on where Elias disappeared inside her.
âFat lil pussy eatinâ you up, huh?â he said.
Elias grinned through his teeth, hips snapping forward, âShe fuckinâ back, thatâs what she doinâ.â
Elijah couldnât wait any longer.
He walked over, hand on her lower back, pressing her down so she took it deeper. Then he leaned in close, voice gravelly.
âSoon as he bust, Iâm feedinâ you next,â he said, âYou gonâ take both our nuts tonight. Pussy thick enough for it.â
Elias picked up pace, slapping into her loud now, sweat dripping down his chest.
âTalk to her,â Elijah said, gripping her ass while she trembled under both their hands.
âYou takinâ this dick,â Elias grunted, âSay it. Say you takinâ this fuckinâ dick.â
She cried out, legs shaking, voice hoarse. âIâm takinâ it. I want all of it.â
Elias growled, pulled her back on him harder.
âThatâs it. Thatâs what I like. Greedy ass pussy, loud ass mouth. You gonâ get all this nut now.â
Elias let out a ragged groan, hips stuttering as he emptied himself deep inside her, his nut flooding her insides. His strokes got sloppier but the grip on her hips stayed firmâlike he didnât wanna leave that warmth just yet. He stayed buried, breathing hard, hands sliding up her back to palm those sweat-slick rolls with a low satisfied chuckle. He buried his face in the crook of her back, grip tight on her waist
Elias stayed in her for a beat, catching his breath, then pulled out slow. Her pussy pulsed around nothing now, fluttering from the loss of him.
âShitâŚâ he exhaled, pulling out slow, watching his nut spill from her like cream-filling, âLook what you done to me, girl.â
She collapsed forward, arms trembling, pussy still twitching from the onslaught. Her face was glazed, moaning soft into the sheets, legs shaking from being beat open so long.
But it wasnât over.
Elijah was already thereâgrabbing her soft body with strong hands, flipping her over like she didnât weigh a thing.
âUh uh. Donât get shy now,â he said, voice low, heavy, âYou know what this is.â
He pulled her to the edge of the bed, hooked both thick thighs back, folding her into herself. Her knees were damn near at her chest, ass hanging off the mattress. She was all open nowâpussy glistening, swollen, creamy from Elias. Elijah lined himself up and spit down on her, rubbing the head of his dick through the mess.
âYou gonâ feel me now.â
And when he pushed in, it was slow and brutal. Her body stretched wide again, her mouth falling open, nothing but air leaving her lungs. Elijah wasnât playinâ. That first stroke went deep. Real deep. And he didnât stop.
He adjusted his stance, knees bent, back tight, and drove into her.
Hard. Deep. Again. And again. And again. That pussy was warm and slippery, but he knew he had to put power behind it. She was a big girlâsoft, thick, plushâand he needed her to feel everything. Every vein, every stroke, every inch like a damn lesson.
Her voice cracked under the pressure, âAhhâŚohhâŚyesâŚfuckâyesâŚâ
She was gone. Mind gone. Just a mess of moans and sweet pussy sounds while Elijah worked her open from the inside out. Elias was off to the side, still stroking himself, watching her face, watching her body bounce under his brotherâs weight.
âLook at her,â Elias grinned, âYou got her folded like laundry, bruh. Thatâs how she like it.â
Elijah wasnât saying much now. He was focused. Locked in. Sweat rolled down his chest, jaw clenched, brows furrowed. He was deep in it and hitting her so good she couldnât breathe, couldnât think, couldnât even hold eye contact. Her tits bounced with every slam forward. Her belly jiggled and her pussy gripped like it was tryna keep him in. He leaned in, body pressing down into her, her knees still pinned back, dick plunging deep.
Her mouth trembled, âY-yesâŚoh God, yesâŚâ
âYeah,â Elijah grunted through clenched teeth, still drilling her, âSay that shit. Love gettinâ fucked, donât you?â
She nodded fast, voice high and thin, âI love itâI love itâpleaseââ
Elias stepped in, leaned down beside her ear and whispered dirty, âDonât you ever be ashamed of needinâ dick, baby. Donât you ever hide from that. You want it, we got you.â
He ran his tongue along her throat, then sucked one tit into his mouth while Elijah pounded her from below. That dick kept hitting the same spotâdeep, deliberate, controlled.
âFuck,â Elijah bit out. âThis pussy too good. She ainât gettinâ up right tomorrow.â
Her whole body shook. She was full. Fucked. Loved the way they handled her like she was soft and strong, worthy of being devoured. Elijahâs strokes slowed just a touch, then deepened again, hips clapping against her thighs with thick, meaty slaps.
âYou feel that?â he groaned, âIâm in your stomach, girl. You gonâ remember this shit.â
And she would. Sheâd walk different. Think different. Dream different. Because Elijah Moore fucked her folded, made her pussy sing, and didnât let her run from how bad she wanted it. Elijah Moore was deep. Hips grinding, sweat dripping, thighs flexing. His dick stayed inside her like it belonged there. And from the way her pussy clung to him, kept sucking him back in like it didnât wanna let goâmaybe it did. Her legs started shaking. Not just from the pressure of being foldedâthough one leg was tucked up high, damn near to her ear, the other held back by Elijahâs hand gripping her ankle like a damn handlebarâbut from what was building. She could feel it rising. That rush. That quiver in her gut. But her mouth wouldnât move. She couldnât talk. Couldnât get the words out. But Elijah knew. He could feel it. The way her pussy gripped tighter, got slicker, warmer. Like it was about to erupt.
âOh yeah?â Elijah said, voice all grit and hunger. He slowed the stroke just for a beat, then slammed in again, âThatâs it, baby? You bout to squirt for me?â
She whimpered. Nothing but air and moans coming out her mouth. Her eyes rolled back.
He smiled, âUh huh,â he growled, picking up pace, âGimme that shit.â
He yanked her ankle higher, pushed her knee deeper into the mattress, practically folding her into a pretzel. His body dropped over hers, and his dick drilled herâdeep, hard, controlled chaos. Her tits bounced against her chest, stomach rippling with every thrust, whole body giving in. And then it hit. Her whole core tensed, mouth falling openâbut still no words. Just that release. A gush of wetness sprayed between them, coating Elijahâs dick, her thighs, the sheets. She twitched, legs trembling like she was being exorcised by dick alone.
She pushed him out, body convulsing. Her pussy fluttered, still leaking. Elijah pulled back, dick glistening, shaking his head like he just got blessed.
âShe fuckinâ soaked me,â he said low, lips curling, âShe squirted all over this dick.â
Elias was already on the move. Dick back up like it owed him money. He stepped up behind Elijah, licking his lips, eyes on her still-twitching, messy pussy.
âMove, bro,â Elias said, âLemme feel that shit.â
Elijah backed up with a laugh, wiping his chest off, âShe still pulsinâ. She gonâ do it again if you touch that spot.â
Elias climbed onto the bed, grabbed her by the hips, and pulled her down to the edge again. Her body was limp, brain foggy, pussy still drippinâ. But Elias ainât care. He lined up, rubbed between her creamy folds, and slid in slow.
She gasped. Loud. He was thick, heavy, fresh again. And her pussy welcomed him like it didnât just squirt all over the last man.
Elias moaned, âOh hell yeahâŚthis what Iâm talkinâ bout. This pussy still twitchinâ. Iâma make it flood again.â
He gripped her waist and went in deep. No warm-up. No hesitation. Just ownership. Elias had a fist full of her hair now. Not gentle. Not careful. He pulled her head back just enough so he could see her face. That look told him everything. Eyes heavy. Mouth open. Lips wet. Body gone loose like she didnât have a single thought left in her head besides what was happening inside her.
âThatâs it, pretty baby,â Elias said, voice low and slick, âLook how fucked out you is.â
He kept her folded tight, one knee pressed up, her body bent back on itself while he drove into her with long, punishing strokes. His hips snapped forward with intention, every thrust landing deep. He wasnât rushing. He was aiming. Making sure his dick hit that spot over and over again until her whole body reacted without permission. Her ass bounced with every stroke. Thick. Heavy. Rippling from the force of him tearing through her. Her pussy stayed loud, wet, greedy, squeezing him back like it needed that pressure to breathe.
âYesâŚyesâŚyesâŚâ she whispered, voice weak, broken, barely there.
Elias grinned and tightened his grip in her hair, âThatâs all you got? Thatâs fine. Iâll do the talkinâ.â He pulled her harder into him and slammed forward again, harder this time, making her whole body jolt, âThis big ass made to take dick,â he said, breath hot against her ear, âIâm in here rearranginâ shit. You feel me hittinâ that deep part, huh?â
Her answer was a shaky moan. Her pussy clenched hard around him. Elijah stepped in closer, hands sliding over her chest. He pinched her nipples between his fingers, tugging them slow, then harder. Her back arched instantly, mouth falling open.
âUh-huh, just like that,â Elijah said, voice smooth and approving, âGood pussy bitch. You takinâ all that dick just like you supposed to.â He tugged again and she cried out, legs shaking, âGood girl,â Elijah added, âThis pussy doinâ exactly what it need to do.â
Elias felt it then. That change. That slick heat turning into pressure. Her walls tightening, fluttering, gettinâ wetter by the second, âOh hell yeah,â he growled, âIt cominâ again.â
He didnât slow down. Didnât pull back. He leaned over her, chest to her back, hand still locked in her hair while he fucked her harder. Deeper. Each stroke pushed her closer to that breaking point.
âIâm right on it,â Elias said through his teeth, âIâm finna make this pussy squirt again.â
Elijah kept tugging her nipples, rolling them between his fingers, leaning down to whisper praise straight into her ear, âLet it go,â he said. âDonât hold that shit. Give it to us.â
Her body locked up. Her toes curled. Her breath stuttered. Then she lost it. Her pussy clenched hard around Elias and pushed back, releasing in a gush that soaked his dick, her thighs, the sheets beneath them. Her whole body trembled as she squirted again, crying out loud this time, voice cracking from how hard it hit her.
âFuck,â Elias groaned, âThere it is.â
He rode it out, still stroking through the aftershocks, letting her pussy milk him while she shook and leaked around him. Elijah laughed low, pleased, hands still on her chest, âThatâs my good pussy bitch right there.â He gave both big titties a playful slap.Â
She lay there wrecked. Open. Still dripping. Still twitching. But were they done with her? Nope. Elijah was laid back now, thighs spread, chest heaving, sweat streaking down the middle of his torso. That dick stood tall again, slick and waiting, glistening with her mess from the last round. He slapped it against his thigh once, twice, watching her crawl over to him on shaky knees.
âCâmon,â he said, voice flat, low, âBring that big ass here.â
She moved slow, still trembling from Elias, still drippinâ from the last orgasm, but Elijah wasnât feeling the delay.
âNah. Donât crawl like you scared. Sit on it.â
He grabbed the base of his dick, angled it up, and guided her over him. She hovered, thick thighs straining, trying to ease down slow, pussy lips brushing the head. Elijah sucked his teeth.
âDrop that fuckinâ weight.â
She whimpered, struggling to ease onto itâbut he wasnât in the mood for teasing.
POP. He slapped her ass hard. She jolted.
âTryinâ to ride me like you a feather,â he growled, âYou know better. Drop. That. Shit.â
She gasped, finally sinking down, that fat pussy swallowing him inch by inch until she bottomed out with a choked moan. Elijah threw his head back.
âFuckâŚthatâs what Iâm talkinâ bout.â
She tried to bounce, but her thighs were trembling. Titties slapping together from the leftover tremors. Her rhythm was all over the place. Not enough force. Not enough pressure.
Elijah narrowed his eyes, âAight. Bet.â
He planted his heels into the mattress, palms sliding up her sides, fingers digging deep into her waist â disappearing into the soft, slick folds of her belly and hips. And then he took over. From beneath. He fucked up. Hard. Deep. Repeated. Over. And. Over. Her mouth dropped open like she forgot what language was. Her whole body started to collapse, unable to control the shake. Elijah fucked her stupid from underneath, balls bouncing like ping pong under that phat ass, thighs slapping, bed creaking.
âThis the ride I need,â he panted, jaw clenched, sweat dripping, âYou feel that? You feel that dick knockinâ the soul out you?â
She couldnât speak. Could barely sit up. Big titties bouncing wild, body jerking with every thrust like she was caught in a storm and he was the fuckinâ eye of it. Then Elias stepped in. Still hard. Still thick. Still greedy. He came around the side of the bed, grabbed a fistful of her hair, and yanked her forward. She had no choice but to open her mouth and he fed it to her.
âPut that mouth back to work,â Elias growled, pushing his dick between her lips, âSuck me while he fuck you.â
He didnât let her find rhythm. He set it. Hand locked in her hair, he worked her head up and down, not caring how messy it got. Spit trailed down her chin, mixing with sweat and drool, while Elijah fucked her from below and Elias fucked her throat from the front.
âYou hear that?â Elias said, voice full of filth, âThatâs you. Gettinâ fed both ends. Thatâs what you need, huh?â
Her body couldnât answer, just kept bouncing and choking and twitching. Elias stroked into her mouth slower, but deeper, letting the head hit the back of her throat over and over.
Elijahâs voice was darker now, guttural, âI feel her squirt buildinâ again.â
She started to shake. Again. That pressure building fast. Wet sounds. Moans. Slapping. Her body being used and praised and devoured like it was built for this exact moment.
Elijah pulled her down hard, âGonâ make this pussy leak all over me again. Go âhead, baby. Gimme that mess.â
And she did. Her body snapped, her pussy squirted again, flooding Elijahâs lap, soaking his abs, her thighs, the sheets, everything.
Elias pulled his dick from her mouth and groaned, âFuck. She a fuckinâ fountain.â
Her body was trembling, soaked with sweat and spit and squirt, but something shifted. Something snapped. Like a switch flipped in her chest and lit up every muscle she had left. She was still on top of Elijah, his dick still deep, twitching, wet from the flood sheâd just given him. But now? She started riding him like she was possessed.
No more slow. No more shy. She gripped the sheets with one hand, planted the other on his stomach, and bucked.
Hard. Over and over.
That fat pussy dropped down with weight and intent, clapping against his pelvis, wet and loud, thighs slapping, body rocking. Her stomach rolled with the rhythm, titties slamming together with every grind.
Elijahâs head snapped back. His jaw clenched. His hands gripped her ass, but he wasnât controlling a damn thing anymore.
âNnnghhâfuck,â he choked, voice rough.
Elias stood behind her now, one hand on her hip, the other raised highâsmackâhe slapped her ass, hard and sharp, watching that shit jiggle in time with her strokes.
âGoddamn,â Elias breathed, watching her bounce, âLook at this big bitch goâŚâ
She gasped, still tossing that pussy down like it owed her money. Her knees burned. Her core screamed. Elijah was twitching inside her, hands now slipping from sweat and lack of control.
Thatâs when he sat up.
Smoke.
Elijah.
Whatever name she had in her throatâit didnât matter.
He came forward, big hands gripping under her ass, helping her bounce while his mouth latched onto one of her soaked, bouncing titties. He sucked hard. Bit it. Growled into it. Then moved to the other. His tongue circled the nipple, then he looked up.
His eyes locked on hers.
Dark. Wild. Close.
âPussy so good,â he said, voice shaking, âIâm right fuckinâ there.â
She rode him harder. He gripped the back of her neck, lips brushing her chin, his voice raw with filth.
âYou want me to nut in this shit, donât you? Want me to fill it.â
She moanedâloud.
âYeah,â he hissed, licking sweat from her collarbone. âGonâ be both our seed swimminâ in there. You donât even know which one of us knocked that ass up.â
She clenched hard around him. His whole body twitched. He pulled her down flush and held her there, dick buried to the base, thighs shaking under her weight. Eyes still locked on hers. Breath caught. Thenâhe came. Hard. With a deep, guttural grunt that dragged from his chest to her ear, he spilled inside her. His whole body rocked. Muscles clenched. Arms shook.
She could feel it. The throb. The warmth. The stretch.
Elias leaned in behind her, breath hot on her neck, voice slick and cruel.
âThatâs my brotherâs nut you sittinâ inâŚnow itâs my turn again.â
Summary: Alanna thought she was just saying yes to a night out with Smokeâsmooth, quiet, dangerously charming. But the club he takes her to belongs to his twin brother, Stack, a man with a silver tongue, a sharper smile, and secrets that sink in slow. As the night unravels in blood, music, and temptation, Alanna begins to suspect that not everyone in the room is humanâŚand something dark has already set its eyes on her.

Part One:
This is a request for @dashhoney25 !!! Hope you guys enjoy đ
The city glimmered behind him as Smoke pulled up slow, his sleek matte-black ride humming low beneath the stars. The building before him wasnât markedâno signs, no nameâbut its presence was unmistakable. Tinted windows. Subtle ironwork etched with ancient symbols. Gothic architecture fused with modern glass and steel. It didnât need to announce itself. The wrong ones wouldnât even see it. He cut the engine, stepped out smooth, black loafers hit the pavement with the weight of purpose. All-black everythingâfitted slacks, long coat dusting his thighs, rings glinting like teeth under moonlight. He adjusted the collar of his jacket and looked up once.
The door opened before he knocked.
She stood there. Tall, fine, and faintly glowing.
Honey-brown skin, short blunt-cut bob, eyes rimmed with dark liner that made her stare hit like a blade. Her little black maid uniform was custom-fit: lace trim, deep neckline, white apron that didnât hide a damn thing. Red-soled heels clicked against marble as she stepped aside to let him in, and Smoke didnât miss the twin puncture marks blooming just beneath the curve of her neck.
Stackâs girl. A personal blood bag. Fine as hell.
âBeen expecting you,â she said, southern drawl like melted wine, âHeâs in the den.â
Smoke gave her a nod, eyes skating her figure with idle respect. He stepped inside. The place was ridiculousâvaulted ceilings, velvet curtains, exposed brick. Shadow and mood in every corner. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the city, but nothing felt cold. Stack didnât do cold. He did intimate. Expensive. Old-world charm dripping in modern sex appeal. Down the hallway, smoke curled from a cigar already burning. And thenâhe emerged.
Stack stepped into view like something conjured. Dressed in black slacks and a wine-colored silk shirt, buttons open down to his chest. Gold chain catching candlelight. His skin was flawlessâdeep, smooth, kissed by something eternal. Eyes dark but amused. And those fangs⌠tucked away for now, but the threat lingered. It always did.
âBrother,â Stack grinned, arms wide.
Smoke smirked and met him halfway. They dapped up, hugged quick, shoulder to shoulderâan embrace deeper than most would understand.
âYou look like money,â Stack said, eyeing him with that usual glint.
âYou look like death.â
Stack bared teeth in a grin, âYou say that like itâs a bad thing.â
They made their way into the den. Smoke settled into the low leather chair while Stack took the corner of the velvet couch. Another girlâsame uniform, different bodyâglided in with a highball glass of something crimson and thick. She knelt gracefully beside Stack, offered the drink, and slid away without a word.
âFresh?â Smoke asked, nodding at the drink.
âFew hours old. Still warm if you taste close enough,â Stack said, swirling it like it was wine, âDonât worry. She likes it.â
Smoke lit a cigar. Sat back. Exhaled slow.
Stack sipped, âSo. What brings you out here, brother? Ainât like you to drop in without something on your mind.â
Smoke gave a low grunt, âThereâs someone I want you to meet.â
Stack raised an eyebrow, âSomeone?â
âA woman.â
Now he had Stackâs full attention.
âMm.â Stack took another sip, âShe fine?â
Smoke smirked, âFinest thing I ever had.â
Stack leaned forward, interested, âTalk to me.â
Smoke took his time, âShe sweet. Brown skin, soft as butter, but donât let that fool youâgirlâs feisty. Quick mouth. Keeps me on my toes. Got that fire but knows how to simmer it when I tell her to. Little waist, pretty thighs, real soft lips. She folds for me.â
Stack chuckled, low and devilish, âWhy you telling me all this? You tryna get me hard, or you tryna share?â
Smoke met his brotherâs eyes, calm, âShe donât know about you yet. But Iâm planning to bring her to the club. Introduce her. Get her acquainted.â
Stack set his glass down slow, âYou serious?â he asked, âShe down to bounce like the others were?â
Smoke shook his head, âShe ainât like the others. Not broken. Not desperate. This oneâs got a mind. A heart. And a body I ainât trying to give away. ButâŚâ
âBut you still want her to feel me,â Stack said.
Smoke pulled out his phone. Swiped. Turned it to face him. The screen glowed with photo after photoâcandid shots, posed, thirst traps. All of her.
One in particular made Stack lean forward.
She was in a black two-piece set, waist beads low, thighs thick and smooth. Her mouth was parted like sheâd just been kissed. Hair tousled. No makeup, just glowy. Just soft. JustâŚreal. Warm-blooded. Tasty looking.Â
Another photoâher in bed. Sheets tangled. Smokeâs hand clearly visible gripping her hip. Bite marks on her shoulderânot fangs. Teeth. Love bites. Stack smirked.
âDamn,â he muttered, eyes locked on the screen, âSheâsâŚtender.â
Smoke blew out a stream of smoke, âShe mine.â
âAnd yet you bring her to me.â
âI want you to see what I see. Feel what I feel.â
Stack let that sit for a moment, quiet. The red drink untouched now.Â
Then, with a lazy grin and flicker of fang, âBring her.â
Later That Evening...
The room still held heat.
Not just from their bodies, but from the way Smoke never rushed anything, even when he had already taken his fill. The sheets were rumpled and damp beneath them, cotton clinging to skin that had not yet cooled. Lamps glowed low on either side of the bed, casting amber light across dark wood furniture and the framed photographs that lined the walls. Their home always felt lived-in, deliberate, like every piece had been chosen with intention instead of impulse.
The bedroom opened into the rest of the apartment in an easy flow. Wide plank floors. Deep green walls softened by warm lighting. A low leather couch visible down the hall, throw blankets folded with care. Bookshelves packed tight with spines Smoke actually read. Vinyl stacked near the turntable. Plants that stayed alive because Smoke remembered to water them. The space carried his steadiness and her softness braided together.
She lay draped across him, cheek resting on his chest, one leg slung over his thigh. Her fingers traced idle paths across his skin, following familiar lines, pausing where she knew his breath would change. Smokeâs hand moved slow up and down her back, palm warm and grounding, like he was still keeping her close even though the moment had already passed.
For a while, neither of them spoke.
Then Smoke shifted beneath her, careful not to break the ease of it, and kissed the crown of her head. His voice came low and calm, the way it did when he had already decided something and was choosing the right moment to say it.
âI want you to meet my brother.â
She lifted her head slightly, enough to look at him. Her brows knit together as she searched his face, trying to place the tone. This was not casual. This was not offhand.
âYour brother,â she repeated, âYou got a funny way of bringing family up.â
Smokeâs mouth curved, but there was no joke in it. His hand slid up to her neck, thumb resting just under her jaw, steadying her gaze.
âHe ainât like anybody youâve met before.â
She pushed herself up onto her elbow now, sheets slipping down her back, âThatâs not an answer.â
He exhaled through his nose, slow and controlled, âThereâs some things about him I havenât told you yet.â
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Not angry. Just alert, âAnd you picking right now to start.â
âI didnât want to spring it on you cold.â
She gave a soft scoff and shifted her weight, straddling his hips again without pressure, just closeness, âSo you warm me up first?â
Smokeâs hand tightened at her waist, not rough, just enough to remind her where she was, âI want you to trust me.â
She studied him for a moment. This man knew her body in ways that made lying pointless. If something was off, she felt it immediately.
âWhatâs the real reason,â she asked, âWhy you want me to meet him.â
Smoke did not answer right away. He ran his hand down her spine, then back up again, grounding himself in the familiar before stepping into unfamiliar ground.
âBecause he matters to me,â he said, âAnd because what I feel with you is something I want him to understand.â
Her lips parted, âUnderstand how.â
âI want him to see what I see,â Smoke said, âFeel what I feel.â
The words settled heavy between them.
She shifted back, sitting upright now, pulling the sheet with her, âThat donât sound like just meeting.â
He reached for her hand, threading his fingers through hers, âIt donât have to mean more than you want it to.â
There was a pause. Long enough for her to weigh the way his thumb brushed her knuckles, the steadiness in his eyes, the fact that Smoke never asked for anything lightly.
âWhen,â she asked.
âNext Friday.â
She shook her head slowly, more confused than upset, âAnd you telling me this now because?â
âBecause I donât want secrets between us,â he said, âAnd because the living canât just walk into his world whenever they want.â
That made her still.
âWhat you mean, his world.â
Smokeâs jaw tightened just enough to show the seriousness of it, âThereâs rules. Heâs bound to them. Iâm not, but he is.â
She searched his face, heart picking up speed, âYou saying this like he ainât normal.â
âHe ainât.â
Silence filled the room again, thicker this time.
âYou asking me to treat him how I treat you,â she said carefully.
âIâm asking you to be yourself,â Smoke replied, âNothing more.â
She leaned back against the pillows, staring up at the ceiling, âThis feels weird.â
âI know.â
âYou sure everythingâs okay.â
âI wouldnât put you in danger,â he said, âEver.â
That much, she believed.
The Big Night...
Evening crept in slow, the city outside their windows deepening into blue and gold. The apartment filled with quiet movement as she got ready, the sounds of drawers opening, fabric shifting, the hum of the bathroom light.
She stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the straps of her black dress. The fabric clung like it was made for her, smooth and sleek, hugging her waist before skimming her hips. The neckline dipped just enough to feel bold without asking for attention. She leaned closer to the mirror, touching up her makeup, smoothing her lips, fixing her lashes.
âOne night with your secret brother,â she said to her reflection, voice low, âWhat could go wrong.â
Her stomach fluttered. She stepped out into the main room and stopped short.
Smoke was already dressed.
All black. Tailored coat. Clean lines. Rings catching the light when he adjusted his cuffs. He looked composed in a way that made her feel suddenly underdressed emotionally, even if the dress itself did its job.
âYou look good,â he said, eyes moving over her slow.
She crossed the room and pushed him back against the ottoman before he could take another step. His back hit it with a soft thud, surprise flashing across his face for half a second before desire took over.
âSit,âshe said.
Smoke laughed under his breath, âWe gotta go.â
âNot yet.â
She climbed into his lap, fingers already working at his belt, mouth finding his without permission. The kiss was deep and urgent, her way of saying stay without using the word. Her hands moved fast, unbuckling the leather with a quick tug, then unzipping his pants. She reached inside, wrapping her fingers around his dick, feeling it thicken and harden under her soft touch. It was already half-erect, the fat shaft pulsing as she stroked it firmly from base to tip, her thumb circling the broad head where a bead of precum glistened.
Smokeâs breath caught, his hands coming up to her waist, but she batted them away lightly, taking charge. She shifted her hips, bunching her dress up around her thighs, exposing the smooth skin and the thin fabric of her panties. With one hand still gripping his now fully hard big dick, she used the other to shove her panties aside, revealing wet pussy, the lips already slick and swollen with the need for his dick. She positioned herself above him, the thick head pressing against her entrance, teasing the tight folds.
She sank down slowly at first, savoring the stretch as his big dick pushed inside her tight pussy. Inch by inch, she took him deeper, the girth filling her completely, her inner walls clenching around the veined length. A low moan escaped her lips against his mouth as she bottomed out, her ass settling against his thighs, his balls pressing warm and tight against her flesh. The sensation was intense, her pussy gripping his hard shaft like a pair of vice grippers, wet juices coating him as she adjusted to the fullness.
Smoke groaned, his fingers digging into the ottoman beside him, fighting the urge to thrust up, âdamn, baby. Hold onââ
She rolled her hips in a deliberate circle, grinding her clit against his pubic bone while his fat dick stirred deep inside her. The movement sent sparks through her body, her tight pussy fluttering around him, but she kept the pace controlled, rising up just enough to feel the ridge of his dickhead drag along her sensitive walls before sliding back down. Each descent was firmer, her hips snapping with purpose, the slick sounds of her wet pussy taking his dick filling the room.
Leaning forward, she grabbed his wrists, guiding his large hands to her breasts. She pressed his palms against the soft mounds, making him squeeze through the fabric of her dress, his thumbs brushing over her hardened nipples. Then she shifted, turning her body while still impaled on him, her back now to his chest. The new angle let his curved dick hit even deeper, the tip nudging against her cervix with every downward push. She reached back with one hand, tangling her fingers around his tie to pull his face close to her neck, where she could feel his hot breath on her skin.
Her rhythm built steadily, hips lifting and dropping in a steady bounce, her ass cheeks slapping and rippling lightly against his lap. She rode him hard, controlling the depth and speed, her tight pussy milking his hard shaft with each clench. Wetness dripped down, soaking his balls and the base of his big dick, making every slide smoother, more obscene. She arched her back, pushing her breasts out as she worked him, her free hand sliding down to where they joined, fingers spreading her pussy lips wider to take more of him, feeling the stretch burn in the best way.
Smokeâs chest heaved behind her, his teeth grazing her shoulder as he held back, muscles tense under her. His hands roamed now where she allowed, one sliding up to cup her breast fully, pinching the nipple between his fingers, the other gripping her hip to steady her motions without interfering. He was rock hard inside her, that thick dick throbbing with restraint, veins pulsing against her gripping walls. She could feel him fighting not to buck up into her, letting her dictate every twist and grind.
She picked up the pace, slamming down harder, her tight pussy squeezing rhythmically around his length, chasing the building friction without letting it tip over. The ottoman creaked under them, her dress hiked up completely now, exposing the way her body moved, the curve of her ass rising and falling over his lap. Sweat beaded on her skin, mixing with the slickness between her thighs, her breaths coming in sharp pants as she controlled the ride, owning the moment before they stepped out into the night.
She lifted off him with a wet pop, his fat dick glistening with her juices, still hard and twitching in the air.Â
âNah, get back on this dick,â Smoke commanded with a gruff tone, popping her on the ass, âYou wanted it so fuckinâ much. Take it.âÂ
She did not slow down this time. Instead, she sank back onto his fat dick with renewed determination, her tight pussy enveloping the full length once more in one smooth motion. The stretch returned immediately, her inner walls stretching around the thick girth, the veined shaft sliding deep until her ass pressed flush against his thighs. Wetness from before made the entry slicker, creamier, her juices coating him anew as she began to move, hips lifting and dropping with controlled force.
Smokeâs hands tightened on her hips, his fingers digging into the soft flesh there, but he let her lead, his body tense beneath her. She rode him steadily at first, rising up until just the broad head of his big dick tugged at her entrance, her pussy lips clinging to the ridge before she plunged back down, taking every inch. The sensation built with each thrust, her tight pussy gripping him rhythmically, squeezing the hard length as she ground her clit against him on the downstrokes. Her ass cheeks jiggled slightly with the impact, the ottoman shifting under their weight as she picked up speed.
Leaning back against his chest, she arched her spine, her dress still bunched high around her waist, exposing the explicit union of their bodies. She could feel his fat dick throbbing inside her, the base slick with her arousal, his balls drawing up tighter against her skin with every bounce. Her hands braced on his knees for leverage now, she slammed down harder, the wet slap of her pussy meeting his lap echoing in the room. Each descent forced a grunt from him, his breath ragged against her neck, his cock swelling even thicker within her clenching channel.
She twisted her hips on the next rise, circling them to drag his big dick along different angles inside her, the tip pressing firmly against her front wall before she dropped again, chasing the friction that made her walls flutter without pushing her over the edge. Sweat slicked their skin where they touched, her thighs burning from the effort but she pushed through, owning the rhythm, dictating how deep and fast his fat dick filled her tight pussy. One hand slipped between her legs, fingers parting her swollen lips to feel where he stretched her wide, the obscene sight of his shaft disappearing into her wetness spurring her on.
âFuckâŚSmokeâŚyou feel that?â She moaned.Â
âYeah. I feel it, baby. Donât you slow down on me now. Keep that pussy right there.â
âFuck,â She gasped when the tip of his dick nudged her spot.
âYou shaking.â Smoke whispered, âyou right where I need you. Donât move. Donât switch it. This pussy gripping like it mad at me.â
âBecause you been teasing all day. Now stay right there and let me have this.â She cooed.Â
âYou soaking me, shit.â Smoke grunted.Â
Smokeâs control frayed, his hips jerking up involuntarily to meet her halfway, but she pinned him with her weight, keeping him seated as she rode.
 âFuck,â' he gasped, voice strained, his hands roaming up to squeeze her breasts again, rolling the stiff nipples between his fingers through the fabric.Â
The added stimulation made her pussy clench harder around him, milking his hard length with deliberate pulses, drawing out low groans from his throat. She felt him thicken further, the veins pulsing against her sensitive insides, his big dick on the verge as she hammered down relentlessly.
Her pace turned punishing, hips snapping in quick, shallow bounces now, focusing on the upper half of his shaft to rub her clit while the girth kept her full. Wet sounds grew louder, her arousal dripping down to soak his balls, the pressure building in him until his thighs tensed beneath her. She ground deep one final time, rotating her hips to stroke every inch, and that broke him. Smoke's body went rigid, a deep growl rumbling from his chest as his fat dick pulsed violently inside her tight pussy. Hot spurts of cum erupted, flooding her depths, coating her walls with thick ropes that mixed with her wetness.
She kept moving through it, riding out his release with slow rolls, squeezing her pussy around him to draw every drop, feeling the warmth spread inside her. His hands gripped her waist bruisingly, holding her down as he emptied himself, the last twitches of his big dick making her inner muscles quiver in response. Only when he stilled, spent and softening slightly within her, did she lift off, his cum leaking from her pussy in a slow trickle down her thighs.
Without a word, she slid from his lap, dropping to her knees on the floor between his legs. His pants were still open, his dick glistening with their combined fluids, semi-hard and slick. She wrapped her hand around the base, stroking firmly to coax the last bits out, then leaned in, her mouth enveloping the head.Â
âFuckâgoddamn. You slid off just to suck it, huh? Greedy lilâ thing.â His voice gets lower, rougher as he grips the base of her neck, watching her lips stretch around him.
Her tongue swirled around the sensitive tip, tasting the salty mix of his cum and her own juices, sucking gently to pull more from him.
âYou want all that nut, donât you? You want me to bust in that pretty mouth? Fill you up? Make you swallow all that shit like a good girl?â
Smoke watched her, chest still heaving, as she took him deeper into her mouth, lips stretching around the fat shaft. She bobbed her head slowly, hollowing her cheeks to create suction, her hand pumping the length she could not fit.Â
âDonât run. Stay right there. Let me fuck that throat.â He groans deep, thrusting harder as his jaw clenches, Mmhm. Just like that. Keep suckinâ. Keep suckinâ til I nut in your fuckinâ mouth.â
The veins stood out under her tongue as she licked along them, cleaning every inch, swallowing the remnants of his load with deliberate gulps. Her free hand cupped his balls, massaging them lightly, feeling them relax under her touch as she worked him thoroughly.
âThere it goâfuck, there it goâopen up, baby. Take that shit. YeahâŚswallow it. Swallow all that shit. Let me see your tongue.â He grabs her face after, thumb pulling her jaw down, âAtta girl. Nasty ass. I fuckinâ love you.â
She sucked harder now, drawing out soft hisses from him, until his dick was clean and twitching faintly in her mouth. Only then did she release him with a soft pop, licking her lips to catch the last traces, her eyes locking on his with a satisfied glint. Both of them flushed and breathing hard, she rose, straightening her dress while Smoke tucked himself away, zipping up with a shaky exhale.
Smoke steps in, big hands gripping her waist, dragging her back against him. His mouth already open as he catches her lips. Slow at firstâwet, deep, tongue pushing in like he owned her mouth same way he just owned her throat.
âOpen up, baby,â he rasps between kisses, âLemme taste how nasty you been.â
He kisses her harder now, tongue sweeping over hers like heâs trying to claim every inch, groaning low in his chest.
âThatâs my girl. Swallowed all that nut like you was starvinâ for it.â
Another kiss. Wetter. His teeth scrape her bottom lip.
âYou know how fuckinâ good that mouth is? How good you make me feel?â He pulls back just a little, eyes hooded, thumb brushing her lips as they glisten from him, âI could tongue kiss you all night, just to taste myself on you.â Then, quieter, dirtier, âNext time Iâm nutting in your pussy, and I want you lickinâ it off my dick after. You hear me?â He grins slow, pulling her back into another long, open-mouthed kiss, âMouth too fuckinâ good to waste.â
She pulled her dress down slow, gave him that look over her shoulder, the one that always got him. Her voice was soft but sinful.
âWe can stay home. You can nut in this pussy now if you want. We both know you got it in you.â She turned fully, smoothing her hands down her hips, âAinât gotta wait. Iâm warm, wet, and begginâ. Right here.â
Smokeâs jaw ticked. He stared at her a beat too long, like he was this close to folding.
Then he exhaled rough, adjusted his coat, and licked his lips, âWe still goinâ,â he said, voice hoarse, almost growled.
She sighedâhalf annoyed, half achingâand followed him out the door anyway, thighs still slick.
Whatever waited on the other side of this night, she knew one thing.
This was not just a meeting.
The car was too quiet.
Not because the stereo was off, but because the silence inside her was louder than any music could fix. She sat low in the passenger seat, one leg crossed tightly over the other, the cool leather brushing her thighs where her dress had ridden up. Her heels clicked once against the floorboard when she shifted, but even that sounded too sharp. She stared out the window at nothing in particular, fingers resting lightly on her lap, nails tapping slow against her skin.
Smoke drove with one hand on the wheel, the other resting in his lap. Calm as always. The dash cast a soft blue glow across his jaw, catching on his gold ring as he adjusted his grip. His profile was carved in stillnessâstoic, composed, unreadable unless youâd memorized the map of his moods the way she had.
She watched the way his thumb tapped against the wheel. That rhythm. That calm. It irritated her tonight.
Her thighs were still tingling, a dull ache pulsing between them, and he was sitting there like she hadnât just tried to fuck the whole idea out of him twenty minutes ago.
She reached over, let her hand rest lightly on his thigh. Her nails grazed the fabric first, then the warmth underneath. He didnât flinch. Didnât stop her. Just kept driving.
Her palm smoothed up, thumb circling, pressing slow. She wasnât trying to start somethingânot really. But maybe she was. Maybe she just needed to feel like he was still hers.
âYou ainât said where we going yet,â she said, voice soft but lined with bite.
Smoke didnât look over. âYouâll see soon.â
She clicked her tongue once, leaned back, hand falling away.
âThat supposed to calm me?â
He finally turned his head, just enough to meet her eyes.
âI told you, itâs safe.â
âThatâs not the same as saying itâs normal.â
Smokeâs jaw tightened, just a twitch. He wasnât mad. He was patient. That was worse.
She let her head fall back against the seat. The car curved through a turn, the city falling away behind them. Buildings blurred into shadows, then into trees. Streetlights stretched thinner. The sky deepened, that dark velvet blue creeping higher, bleeding out the last light of day.
She hated how pretty it was.
Her mind kept circling back to what heâd said earlier. âFeel what I feel.â That was the part that stuck.
This wasnât just about introductions.
He wanted to share her.
He hadnât said the words that way, but she heard it clear. It wasnât jealousy that twisted her stomachâit was confusion. She trusted Smoke. Trusted his hands, his voice, his grip around her throat when he told her she was good. But this?
Why now? Why him?
Her palm dragged down her own thigh. She crossed her legs tighter.
The car was moving fast, too fast for her thoughts to settle. Every tree that passed felt like it was watching. The night was getting thicker, quieter, heavier. She looked over at Smoke again. He hadnât changed. One hand on the wheel. Calm. Sharp. Focused.
âYou ever think about how this would make me feel?â she asked.
âI think about how itâll change everything,â he said.
That wasnât a no.
She scoffed lightly and looked out the window again. âThis ainât just a meet and greet.â
âNo,â he admitted, âItâs not.â
âSo what is it?â
âA bridge.â
His voice was steady, sure. Like that explained something.
She turned to face him fully, knee drawn up on the seat, angling herself toward him.
âIâm serious. You talking in riddles. And Iâm supposed to be in this dress, all soft and pretty, when I donât even know what Iâm walking into.â
Smoke glanced at her then. Slower this time.
âYou look more than pretty,â he said.
She didnât smile. She didnât even blink. Her eyes stayed on him like they were daring him to say something honest for once instead of slipping through her questions.
He sighed and rubbed his hand over his jaw, âItâs hard to explain until you see him.â
âTry.â
Smoke let the silence sit for a beat before speaking.
âHeâs not like me. Heâs not like you. But I see myself in you. I see you in him. Thatâs why I need this.â
She didnât reply. Couldnât. Because part of her understood. And that was what scared her most.
She turned her body forward again, arms crossing over her chest.
The road stretched longer now. Fewer signs. No turns. Just an endless path that felt like it had been waiting for them.
Something about it feltâŚfinal.
Like once they crossed whatever line was up ahead, there wouldnât be a coming back.
The car slowed before she ever saw the building.
There were no lights, no neon signs, no velvet rope, no valet waiting to open her door. Just a long stretch of cracked blacktop, edged by trees that looked older than anything in the city. The road had narrowed into something almost forgottenâlike it had once been paved, then buried under years of leaves and shadows. Ahead of them, a single iron gate stood half open, twisting vines woven through the bars like the land had tried to take it back.
She felt it before she saw anything else. A shift in the air. Not colderâheavier. Like the world beyond that gate didnât breathe the same way.
Smoke turned the wheel and guided the car through without speaking.
On the other side, the landscape changed in slow motion.
First the smellâsmoke, earth, incense, the ghost of something sweet like sugared tobacco and orange peel. Then the sounds. A low hum, not music, but movement. As if the ground itself buzzed with memory. As if something beneath the soil had started waking up.
The trees parted.
And there it was.
A building nestled into the hill like it had grown there, built from deep gray stone and black iron, smooth in some places and jagged in others, like it couldnât decide whether to seduce or warn. Ivy curled thick up its sides, but the windows glowedâsoft amber, flickering from inside like a hundred candles had been lit at once. It didnât look old, and it didnât look new. It looked timeless. It looked hungry.
Smoke parked near the front. No one else in sight. The gravel crunched under his boots when he stepped out and came around to open her door.
She hesitated.
That gut feeling hadnât left her. In fact, it had only deepened. Something about this place prickled under her skin. Like she wasnât supposed to be here, but someoneâor somethingâhad been waiting for her all the same.
Smoke extended his hand, âYou with me?â
His voice was calm. Steady. His fingers looked warm.
She nodded once and slipped her hand into his.
The moment their palms met, the sounds intensified.
It wasnât music at first. Just a hum that felt like it came from the walls. A heartbeat. A thrum.
As they walked toward the door, a low, haunting saxophone note curled out into the night. Then a drum, soft and slow, like footsteps over velvet. Then the voice.
It was low and honey-thick. A woman. Singing something old, something southern, stretched and drowned in blues. She sang like she knew things. Things that made your knees buckle. Things that made you forget your name.
The door opened before they reached it. Not by a person. It justâŚopened.
Smoke didnât react. He guided her inside, his hand pressing at the small of her back.
The moment she stepped over the threshold, the temperature changed.
Inside, it was warm and dark, but not dim. The walls flickered with candlelight from tall candelabras and crystal chandeliers hung low from the ceiling. The air shimmered with gold and shadow, like dust suspended in honey. The floor beneath her heels wasnât wood or tileâbut some kind of stone, polished so smooth it almost reflected movement like water.
She turned her head and caught a blur of somethingâsomeoneâfloating past. Not walking. Floating. They moved like they were halfway between here and somewhere else, trailing wisps of smoke behind them like a train of silk. The figures were beautiful and strange, their features blurred at the edges, like they were wearing glamour made of light.
The singer stood on a small stage near the back. Barefoot. Deep red dress hugging her curves like it had been painted on. She swayed as she sang, voice sliding up and down like it was riding smoke trails.
The band behind her looked mostly human. Mostly.
The piano player had hands that moved too fast. The upright bassist didnât blink. The drummer looked like he was playing underwater, every movement fluid and slow, like time worked differently behind the veil of that stage.
Smoke kept walking, hand firm at her back.
She tried to look at everything at once. Couldnât.
The room was wide and open, but intimate. Velvet curtains draped down from high ceilings. Lounge chairs and low tables sat arranged in elegant clusters, most of them occupied. But no one stared directly. They glanced. They sipped. They whispered without moving their mouths. Some leaned too close. Some faded into shadow entirely.
But she could feel it.
Eyes on her.
And not just on her dress or her bodyâbut on her pulse. On the way her chest rose with every nervous breath. On the color in her cheeks. On her blood.
She stepped a little closer to Smoke.
âWhere are we?â she asked quietly.
He didnât answer right away. His eyes scanned the room like he was clocking every shadow, every gesture.
âYou wonât find it on a map,â he said finally. âThis place finds you.â
That didnât make her feel better. But it explained the ache building behind her ribs.
As they passed deeper into the club, she noticed the scent againâorange peel and warm spice, layered now with old wood, wine, sweat, and perfume. It smelled like history. Like bodies had loved and fought and fallen apart here for centuries. Like none of it had ever left.
They passed a corner booth where a woman sat with a glass of something black in her hand. Her skin shimmered like copper and ink, and her eyes glowed faintly violet in the low light. She tilted her head when they passed. She smiledâbut not in greeting. It felt like a knowing.
Every table felt like it held secrets.
Every hallway looked like it led to a memory.
Every door pulsed with temptation.
âBreathe,â Smoke said softly.
She realized she hadnât.
The singer hit a note so deep it made her thighs clench.
Smoke stopped in front of a long staircase. The railing curved like bone. Each step lit underneath with a soft glow, like the path had been waiting for them.
He turned to her, finally giving her the full weight of his attention, âYou still with me?â
She nodded. Her mouth was dry, âWhereâs your brother?â
Smoke didnât smile. But something shifted in his face. Like the real night was just beginning.
âHeâll find us.â
He reached for her hand again. She gave it, slower this time.As they ascended, the singer changed her tune. The tempo lifted slightly, a dangerous kind of flirtation in her voice now. The crowd below began to move more. Laughter floated upâtoo light, too slow, like it had been stretched.
Halfway up the stairs, she turned to look back.
The lounge below pulsed with light and bodies. The walls breathed. The shadows curled like smoke around ankles and wrists. Everything felt alive and not alive at once.
And somewhere beneath the surface, she felt it.
He was here.
Watching.
Waiting.
She felt him before she saw him.
It started as pressure, subtle but unmistakable, like the air had thickened around her lungs. Her breath shortened, not from fear exactly, but from awareness. The kind that made the skin along her arms prickle and her scalp tighten as if someone had leaned in too close without touching her.
Smokeâs hand was still on her lower back, solid and familiar. He stood relaxed beside her at the top of the stairs, posture easy, shoulders loose, like this place answered to him in its own way. He looked unbothered, grounded. Present.
She did not feel grounded at all.
The jazz below softened, the singerâs voice stretching long and slow, syrup-thick and heavy with longing. The band shifted with her, tempo dragging like something was being pulled up from deep water. Conversations lowered across the room, not stopping, just thinning, like the crowd itself had leaned in to listen.
The lights flickered once.
Not out. Just a blink.
Then the shadows at the far end of the upper level moved.
They did not part like curtains. They folded inward, collapsing and reforming, darkness drawing tight into a shape that stood upright where there had been nothing a moment before.
He appeared.
No footsteps. No warning. One second the space was empty, the next it was occupied by him.
Stack.
He stood near the railing, hands resting loosely at his sides, head slightly bowed as if he had stepped out of a private thought instead of thin air. He was dressed in black like Smoke, but where Smokeâs presence felt steady and anchored, Stackâs felt fluid, dangerous, like a held breath that never quite released.
They were identical at first glance. Same height. Same broad shoulders. Same face carved with sharp jawlines and a mouth that knew how to smile without warmth.Â
But the longer she looked, the more the differences surfaced.
Stackâs skin caught the low light differently, smooth and luminous in a way that did not belong to the living. His eyes were darker, deeper, like wells instead of mirrors. There was a stillness to him that felt unnatural, like he did not need to shift his weight or breathe to remain balanced.
His gaze lifted slowly.
And locked onto her.
Not Smoke. Her.
The weight of it hit her low in the belly.
She swallowed.
Smoke turned his head slightly, already aware. His mouth curved into a small smile that held no surprise.
âThere he is,â Smoke said calmly.
Stackâs lips curled in response, revealing the faintest glimpse of gold when he smiled back. He stepped forward, and this time she noticed it. The way his movement did not disturb the air. The way the shadows bent around him instead of away.
âBrother,â Stack said, voice smooth, rich, threaded with something old.
Smoke stepped forward and met him halfway. They clasped hands, pulled each other in close, foreheads nearly touching for a brief moment. It was intimate in a way that went beyond affection. It was recognition. Survival. Shared history layered too deep for words.
âYou look good,â Smoke said.
Stack chuckled low, âYou know how I do.â
They stepped apart. Stackâs attention returned to her immediately.
âSo,â he said, eyes never leaving her face, âThis is her.â
The words were simple. The way he said them was not.
She felt like she had been placed under glass.
Smoke turned slightly, hand sliding from her back to her hip, anchoring her without shielding her, âThis is my girl. Alanna. Alanna this is my twin brother, Elias. But he prefers Stack.â
Stack took another step closer. Not invading her space, but close enough that she could smell him. Something dark and clean. Iron and spice. Night air after rain.
She shifted her weight closer to Smoke, fingers curling into his sleeve, âSo this is the famous brother.â
âThe only one,â Stack said, âAnd you must be the reason heâs been distracted.â
Smokeâs jaw flexed, âWatch it.â
Stack glanced at him, amused, âRelax. Iâm appreciating.â
The word landed heavy.
âYouâre prettier than I imagined,â Stack said.
Her spine straightened, âYou imagined me?â
He smiled wider at that, clearly amused, âMy brother talks.â
She glanced at Smoke, âOh, Iâm sure he does.â
Smoke laughed quietly, âShe got a mouth on her.â
âI like that,â Stack said, âMeans sheâs not empty.â
Her eyes narrowed slightly, âIâm right here.â
âGood,â Stack replied, âI would hate to talk about you like you werenât.â
There was no malice in it. No mockery. Just interest sharpened to a point.
She felt it then. That pull. That strange draw that made her chest feel tight and warm at the same time. Her instincts told her to step back. Her body did not listen. Something about him felt wrong in a way that made her curious instead of afraid.
âWhy does everyone keep looking at me like that,â she asked, voice steady even as her pulse raced.
Stackâs eyes flicked briefly to her throat. Then back to her eyes, âBecause you donât belong here,â he said, âAnd yet you fit.â
A chill traced her spine.
Smoke squeezed her hip once, firm, âYou okay?â
She nodded, âIâm fine.â
Stackâs gaze softened at that, just a fraction, âSheâs loyal.â
âDamn right,â she replied, lifting her chin, âMy man.â
Smoke smiled then, pride plain on his face.
Stack watched the exchange closely. Something unreadable passed through his eyes. Hunger. Respect. Something more dangerous than either.
Stack leaned in close to whisper something to Smokeâsomething low and half-smiled that Alanna couldnât catch. Then he looked at her, one hand briefly brushing her lower back in a barely-there touch.
ââScuse me a minute,â he said, voice dipped in syrup and dusk, âGot a little itch to scratch.â
Before she could ask what that meant, he was goneâvanishing into the crowd like water through fingers.
Alanna blinked, âWhere the hell did he go that fast?â
Smoke didnât answer. Just smirked, slow and satisfied, like heâd seen this play out before.
Up front, the jazz singer finished her number to light applause. Then, as the band played a bluesy vamp, she lifted her mic again.
âLadies and gentlemen,â she purred, dressed in deep plum satin that caught every light like liquid sin, âYou know him, you love him, and if you donâtâyou about to. The man of the hour. Stack Moore.â
The crowd stirred. Cheers. Whistles.
Alannaâs eyes flicked to the side of the stageânothing.
Then suddenlyâthere he was.
Already at the mic. Guitar in hand. Like heâd been there all along.
No footsteps. No stage door. No time.
Just there.
She frowned, eyes narrowing, âWaitâwhat?â
Stack looked calm. Composed. Maybe even a little smug.
He tipped his head once in their direction. Not just to the room.
To her.
The club pulsed like a living thingâlow and hot and thick with rhythm.
Stack leaned into the mic like it owed him something. Shirt open to the sternum, gold chain gleaming against his dark skin. Rings catching the light. He gripped the neck of a steel guitar, fingers loose, head bowed, lips brushing the mic when he finally spoke.
âYâall feel that?â he said, voice soaked in wickedness and smoke, âThat heat crawlinâ up your spine?â
A murmur rolled through the crowd.
âGood. Let it.â
She didnât ask another questionânot yet. Not when the sound of a single, sliding guitar string rang out across the club, casting a hush like a spell.
Then he played.
It wasnât polished, wasnât sweetâit was dirt and blood and the riverâs breath, all twisted up into a slow, aching Delta blues riff that sounded older than anything Alanna had ever heard. His voice came nextâlow and rough, the kind that carried grit and desire and the ghosts of juke joints long gone.
đś âI had a woman in Clarksdale onceâŚ
She knew my name âfore I could speakâŚ
Said I tasted like the moonlightâŚ
And I touched her in her sleepâŚâ đśÂ
The room melted around him.
People swayed. Women rubbed their thighs together. Men closed their eyes like they were trying to drink the sound. Even the air shiftedâgrew heavier, stickier, like the heat of the Delta had crept in through the cracks and sealed the room shut.
Alanna felt her pulse climb.
Smokeâs hands didnât move, but she could feel him closerâhis lips near her ear.
âHe ainât bad, huh?â he spoke low, his voice deep and knowing, âDonât even need to try.â
She nodded slowly, unable to look away from the stage. Stack opened his mouth again and let out a note that scraped the belly of the guitar like it had been pulled from a back porch at midnight, a note thick with ache and want and time.
And suddenly, Smoke was behind her. Arms sliding around her waist. His mouth brushed the curve of her neck. She didnât flinch. Didnât move. She just leaned into him and let the music wind through her spine.
His lips grazed her skin.
She felt his breath before she felt the kiss. Slow. Lingering. Right below her jaw. Her body swayed, unsure if it was the rhythm or his mouth guiding her. Maybe both. Maybe neither. Maybe it was something else entirely.
On stage, Stackâs eyes openedâgold-flecked and glowing. For a split second, they met hers.
And in that moment, Alanna felt it. Something pulling. Something deep. Something not quite human.
But she didnât know that yet.
Not fully.
The last note lingered in the air like smokeâcurling slow, glowing red, then gone.
Stack stood still for a breath, then two. His guitar hung low against his hips, and when he finally lifted his gaze from the mic, he wasnât scanning the crowd. He was looking straight at her.
Alanna.
Like heâd known where she was the whole time.
A flicker of something unreadable passed behind his eyes, and then he lifted a glass that someoneâsomehowâhad already placed at the edge of the stage. Its contents were dark, almost black, but when the light hit it just right, it shimmered red.
Not wine. Not anything she recognized. But it looked alive.
He held it high. Toasted.
To her.
Then downed it slow.
Alannaâs breath caught, and she didnât know why.
The crowd responded in wavesâmoans, laughter, bodies pressing closer. The beat returned, softer now, but still humming underneath everything. She didnât even realize the music had never really stopped. It just lived here.
Stack stepped down from the stage like heâd never been on it in the first place. Smooth. Languid. Confident in that eerie, too-composed way that made the hair on the back of her neck stand up. He walked straight toward themâstraight toward herâand the crowd parted like they felt him coming.
Smoke leaned into her side again, exhaling slow, âYou starting to feel it yet?â he asked, voice low, like he was asking about more than just the music.
She didnât get a chance to respond.
Stack stopped in front of them, teeth flashing in that half-smile that never quite touched his eyes. âSo?â he asked, voice a low rasp from the stage still clinging to his throat, âWhat yâall think?â
Smoke clapped his twin on the shoulder, âYou already know. Shit was good.â
Stack chuckled once, then turnedâslowlyâto her.
Waiting.
Alanna tilted her head, arms crossed under her chest, âYou tryna be famous or somethinâ?â
His grin widened.
âI didnât say it wasnât good,â she added, eyes narrowing just slightly, âJust wondering who you were serenading exactly.â
âYou,â Stack said plainly, âyouâre my special guest. Had to give you a taste of what itâs like.âÂ
And then he looked away, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Alanna blinked.
Before she could think of something clever, her gaze drifted across the roomâand widened.
A couple near one of the booths was full-on grinding, his hand up her skirt, her eyes rolled back. In another corner, two women kissed feverishly while a third licked a slow path up one of their thighs. Everywhere she looked, people were touchingâdeeply, openly, without shame. There were sounds tooâgasps, groans, the wet slap of skin. One man knelt in front of a woman like he was praying with his mouth, and she didnât seem inclined to stop him.
Alanna turned back to Stack, eyebrows raised.
âSoâŚis this a kink club?â
Stack laughed.
But it wasnât mocking. It was smooth. Hot like bourbon.
âPeople come here to undress from the weight of whatâs beyond these walls,â he said, slipping his hands into his pockets, âSo if they wanna fuckâŚâ he leaned a little closer, voice darkening into something more primalâthicker.
ââŚlet âem fuck.â
The word hit like a thud in her chest.
Fuck.
The way he said it wasnât vulgar. It was beautiful. Dangerous. Like heâd invented it. Like he could write it across her skin and her body would obey.
Smoke didnât say a word, just looked at her, as if waiting to see how sheâd react.
Alanna blinked, steadying her breath.
Stack stepped back, tilting his head toward the darkened hallway behind him, âCâmon,â he said, âAlcoveâs this way.â He turned, and just before they followed, he looked over his shoulder and said, âLadies first.â
Alanna walked ahead of them, awareâpainfully awareâthat both men were behind her. Watching. Their silence spoke more than anything they could say. She didnât need to turn around to feel it.
The hallway smelled like cedar, wine, and something deeper. Something old. And as she walked, her heels clicked slow on the worn black floor, her hips swinging with a rhythm she hadnât meant to have. Something about the air made it hard not to move like that.
Behind her, the brothers said nothing.
But she felt them watching like hunger with hands.
Stackâs spot was hidden in plain sight. No signs. No name. Just a red light flickering overhead and a velvet rope that only opened for those who already knew how to ask. Inside, the air smelled like honeyed wine, sweat, and old wood lacquered in history. Every surface gleamed dimly, gilded by candlelight and the soft flicker of chandeliers that looked like theyâd been stolen from a Delta juke joint in the 1920s and stitched back together with secrets.
The room was long and wide, sunken in the middle like a basin of sin. Tables and booths hugged the perimeter in plush shadows while the dancefloor shimmered, slick with bodies, skin against skin. Couples swayed, some slowly grinding, others tangled together in something far older than dancing. Some just stoodâheld still by some invisible rhythm only they could feel.
And scattered in the low light were pairsâhuman and not. Women with their heads tilted back in ecstasy. Men with mouths pressed to throats. Some of them looked drunk. Some lookedâŚentranced. All of them were being fed from.
But Alanna didnât know that yet.
She only saw mouths on necks. Soft moans. Hands slipping under dresses, past belts. The kind of feverish touch that made it hard to breathe.
Smoke walked with her, hand resting low on her back like he knew sheâd need grounding. Every now and then, her body tensed against his palm.Â
âWell,â Stack said, stepping back slightly, giving her room without breaking the connection, âWelcome.â
They did not go far.
Stack led them along the upper level, past a series of heavy velvet curtains that swallowed sound as they passed through. Each layer muffled the club below a little more, until the music became a distant pulse rather than a presence. The air changed again, growing warmer, denser, laced with a faint metallic sweetness that Alanna could not place.
They stepped onto a private balcony overlooking the main floor.
It was framed by dark wood railings carved with intricate designs, old symbols woven into modern elegance. Plush seating curved around low tables set with candles that flickered without smoke. Gauze curtains drifted lazily in an air that moved though no windows were open. From here, the club looked unreal. Bodies moved in slow, fluid patterns below, some gliding rather than walking, others blurring at the edges like heat mirages.
Alanna stood still, absorbing it all.
Smoke moved immediately, his body fitting behind her without asking. One hand rested at her waist, the other slid up her arm, thumb brushing along her shoulder. The contact was grounding. Familiar. He kissed her cheek, then her jaw, then her mouth, unhurried. A reminder. A claim. Her shoulders eased despite herself.
A server appeared without sound, placing drinks on the table.
Smokeâs glass was clear, amber catching the candlelight. Normal. Comforting.
Stackâs was not.
His drink was darker, thicker, almost black, with a sheen that reflected red when the light hit it just right. It clung to the sides of the glass when he lifted it, slow and deliberate.
Alanna noticed.
She did not comment.
She wrapped her fingers around her own glass instead, the chill biting into her palm. She took a sip. Sweet at first. Floral. Then something sharper underneath. It loosened her tongue and softened the tight coil in her chest just enough to make the room feel slightly less oppressive.
Stack leaned against the railing opposite them, one elbow resting casually, glass cradled in his hand. He watched her openly now.
Not staring. Studying.
She felt it everywhere. Along her neck. Down her spine. Between her thighs. His attention was not aggressive, but it was thorough, like he was learning her shape without touching her.
She shifted closer to Smoke, instinctively. His arm tightened around her.
The alcove wrapped around them like a velvet hush. High above the rest of the club, it gave them a view that felt almost voyeuristic, like the gods looking down on mortal sin. Low lighting swirled with smoke and shadow, gilded edges flickering gold. Jazz curled through the air like perfume, breathy and slow, clinging to the walls. Down below, bodies moved in time with a rhythm that was older than the instruments playing itâhips rolling, hands wandering, mouths caught between glances and hunger.
Alanna sat close to Smoke on the crescent-shaped lounge, the curve of her body tucked neatly into his side like it belonged there. His arm was slung over her shoulder, casual in appearance, but his hand rested just beneath her collarboneâpossessive in a way that felt deliberate. His other hand stroked slowly along her bare thigh, thumb gliding over her skin with idle, sensual attention.
She couldnât stop watching the crowd below.
The way they moved.
How alive they looked.
But it wasnât just the dancingâit was the energy. Thick. Drowsy. Feral. It felt like something was coiling beneath the surface of this place, like the longer you sat in it, the more it seeped into your bones. Lust without urgency. Hunger without shame.
She leaned forward slightly, resting her elbow on her knee, eyes trailing one of the dancers twirling in the arms of someone masked in silver.
The waitress appeared like as if out of thin air, all red lips and silence, and leaned in with a practiced smile, âChampagne, miss?â
Alanna nodded, her voice caught somewhere behind her ribs, âYes, please.â
Smokeâs voice was low and easy behind her, âBourbon. House-made. Neat.â
Then came Stack, seated across from her, lounging like a man born to shadows. He didnât raise his voice. Just leaned in close to the waitressâs ear and murmured something quietâtoo quiet for Alanna to hear. But she noticed the way the womanâs eyes flicked sharp, the slight hitch in her nod.
âComing right up,â the waitress said, vanishing with a grace that unsettled her.
Alannaâs pulse thrummed louder in her ears than the music, and when the glass of champagne was placed in front of her moments laterâlight gold and fizzingâshe took a sip to steady herself. It helped, but not much. The room felt like it was shifting. Or maybe it was just her.
âBeautiful view,â Stack said from across the low table.
Alanna didnât answer right away.
She turned her head slowly, gaze flicking toward him.
He was watching her. Not discreetly. Not politely.
He was undressing her with his eyes, openly and without apology. Not just her bodyâbut her ease, her resistance, the pulse at her neck. She felt it in her chest. In her thighs. In the air between them.
Stack leaned back, lounging in his seat like a king with time to kill. He sipped from his strange red drink, eyes never leaving hers.
âYouâre a quiet one,â he said, voice low and silk-smooth, like he already knew what that meant.
Alanna raised a brow, âand youâre a nosy one.â
Stack grinned, âonly when Iâm interested.â
Smoke chuckled under his breath beside her, lips brushing the shell of her ear, âTold you she had a mouth.â
âMhm,â Stack said, not breaking eye contact.
Stackâs gaze finally dropped, trailing the length of her dress, âWhat do you do, Alanna?â
She hesitated, torn between answering honestly and holding her cards.
âI work in marketing,â she said, âBrand strategy. Campaign building.â
His eyes lifted again, curiosity flaring, âSo you sell fantasy for a living?â
She tilted her head, lips curling, âI sell what people already want.â
âThat so?â Stackâs voice dropped half a note, tone brushing against something deeper.
Alanna looked to Smoke for a beat, searching his face, but he seemed content to let the moment unfold.
Stack continued, âAnd howâd you meet my brother?â
âShe found me,â Smoke answered before she could. His fingers were tracing slow circles on her thigh, rhythm hypnotic.
Stackâs eyes flicked between them, âIs that right?â
Alanna nodded once, âHe was quiet. Still is. But I liked the way he looked at me.â
âLike what he wanted already belonged to him,â Stack said.
She froze for a second. The way he said itâtoo precise. Too intimate. Her spine straightened just slightly. When she glanced back at him, his expression hadnât changed. Calm. Watchful. But his eyesâŚGod. She couldâve swornâ
Did they just glow?
It was only for a blink, but something in her stomach flipped.
And then she felt it. A chill. Or a shiver. Not on her skinâbut through her. Like someone had whispered inside her head. Like a hand, cool and unseen, had grazed the inside of her thigh from across the room.
Her eyes snapped to Stack. He didnât move. Didnât smile. Didnât blink. Just sipped his drink and stared like he knew.
Alanna sat back slowly, crossing her legs, swallowing a breath she didnât realize sheâd held.
What the hell was this?
Smokeâs touch returned to her shoulder, steady, grounding, warm, âYou okay?â he asked, his voice just for her.
She nodded. Too fast. Her thoughts were racing and she couldnât name a single one of them.
They looked the same.
Same jawline. Same lips. Same thick lashes and dark eyes.
But Smokeâs touch was steady, anchored, familiar.
Stackâs presence was something else.
Not like a man.
Not even like a predator.
He felt like a question she wasnât sure she wanted the answer to.
Still, she kept stealing looks. Trying to solve something with her eyes before her body betrayed her.
Stack asked another questionâsomething about her favorite citiesâbut she barely heard it. All she could feel was the pressure building in the room, thick with silence and suggestion. She pressed her thighs together and hoped no one noticed.
The singerâs voice below swelled again, slow and deep, wrapping around the moment like velvet. She realized something then. This was not a meeting. This was an arrival. And whatever Stack was, whatever waited beneath the charm and the stillness and the eyes that did not blink enough, he had already seen her. All of her. And he was pleased.
Alanna stiffened.
Not out of fearâbut because her body needed space to think.
The air between them had thickened, too warm and charged. Her hand found Smokeâs without thinking, fingers threading tight through his like a tether, like gravity, like truth. Her eyes stayed fixed on Stack.
He didnât move. Didnât smirk. Didnât push. But his presence pressed against her skin was like heat from a nearby fire. Calm, composed, watchful. And stillâŚshe felt it. Something darker, deeper, hungrier than what met the eye.
She turned to Smoke. Her voice was low, âCan I talk to you,â she asked, âalone?â
Smoke gave a single nod, âYeah.â
Stackâs mouth curved, but he stepped back with a slow drag of his drink, âFive minutes,â he said, amused, âDonât take all night, sweetness.â
Alanna frowned, âYouâre not helping.â
He winked, âDidnât say I was.â
Smoke led her through a velvet-curtained arch toward a shadowed lounge alcoveârounded bench, dim amber light, thick privacy. The hum of music dulled behind fabric and walls, replaced by the flicker of candles and the hush of their breath.
Alanna sat. Stared at the room.
Then looked at Smoke, âWhat is this place?â she asked, âAnd whatâs the deal with your creepy-ass twin brother? He said five minutes,â she added, âWhat happens after five?â
Smoke leaned back, resting one arm along the curve of the booth. He wasnât offended. Just quiet.
âYou gonna tell me what this is?â Alanna asked, eyes flicking to Smoke, âBecause right now, it feels like Iâm the only one without a rulebook.â
âThis place,â he said, âis a safehouse for people who donât belong anywhere else. A place for hunger. For curiosity. For truths that canât survive daylight.â
She blinked, âThatâs not an answer. Thatâs a riddle.âÂ
âNo,â he agreed, âBut itâs the truth.â
He reached out, touched her knee gentlyârubbed slow circles through the fabric of her dress, grounding her again.
âYou donât have to understand it all tonight,â he said, âBut you gotta stop flinching every time the wind changes. Relax. Feel it. Let the moment speak to you.â
She swallowed, not answering.
Smoke leaned in, brushing his lips across her cheek before finding her mouth. He kissed her onceâslow, grounding, unrushed.
âStackâs intense,â he said softly when he pulled back, âAlways has been. But heâs not gonna hurt you.â
Her brow furrowed, âAnd why did he wanna meet me so bad?â
Smoke smiled faintly, hand trailing along her thigh, âBecause heâs curious. Heâs been asking about you for months.â
She huffed softly, barely a laugh, âYou both act like youâre not telling me something on purpose.â Alanna raised a brow, âThe way heâs looking at me like Iâm something to eat? Yeah. Real subtle.â
Smoke chuckled, deep and low, âMy brotherâs got a big appetite.â
She stared at him, âAnd why me?â she asked, âOut of everyone in this roomâŚâ
He let the words hangâthen added with a crooked grin, âWeâve always had the same taste in women. Only difference is how we express that.â
back at the alcove balconyâŚ
Stack leaned against the iron rail like he had all the time in the world. One hand rested on the curve of the balustrade. The other slowly swirled the half-empty glass of blood-spiked champagne he hadnât sipped from in ten minutes.
Below, the club churned and throbbed. Bass lines rolled through bodies like seismic waves. Couples kissed hard in corners. Fangs pierced soft flesh in the open. Some fed discreetlyâmouths grazing inner wrists or necks with affection. Others fed hungrily, knees spread, heads thrown back, blood and pleasure indistinguishable under the red haze of the lighting.
Stack didnât see any of them.
His eyes were fixed on the hallway Smoke had just taken Alanna down.
He could hear her heartbeat. Loud as war drums. Thudding faster the closer she stood to his brother. The way her breath caught, the shallow gulps, the nervous swallow as she tried to say the right thing. Her voice was lowâbut not to him. Not to his kind.
Vampire senses were cruel that way.
ââŚjust five minutes? Yeah, okay?â she whispered.
Stackâs jaw ticked. His teeth clenched behind his half-smirk. Five minutes.
He wasnât just envious. He wasnât just aroused.
He was aching.
From the moment sheâd stepped into the alcove, her scent had hit him like a velvet snare. Honey-slick nerves. The sweetness of her sweat layered with notes of wine, want, and something elseâsomething faint and floral, like jasmine pressed between book pages.
And those veins.
Fuck.
The ones that trailed along her cleavage, vibrant with every rapid beat of her heart. The swell of her breasts made the line of her cleavage a map of temptation. Her jugular visibly ticked when she looked at Smoke.
That pulsing rhythm. That wet, human throb.
He could hear the blood in her.
He could taste it in the air already.
And she was talking loyalty. Talking patience. Like he wasnât starving.
Smoke had pulled her aside, further into the shadowed hallway where mouths couldnât read lips and bass couldnât swallow words.
Stack didnât need to strain.
Not when her heartbeat gave her away.
Not when her breath trembled like something just waking up.
âYou gonna tell me what this is?â Alanna asked, eyes flicking to Smoke. âBecause right now, it feels like Iâm the only one without a rulebook.â
Stackâs mouth curled.
âHe said five minutes,â she added, âWhat happens after five?â
She didnât sound scared.
JustâŚrestless. Curious.
âAnd why me?â she asked, âOut of everyone in this roomâŚâ
Because you called to me before you ever stepped inside, Stack thought.
Because youâre standing there wondering if I can hear you. And I can.
She huffed softly, barely a laugh, âYou both act like youâre not telling me something on purpose.â
That one made Stack chuckle under his breath.
âAnd Iâm supposed to be okay with all this mystery?â she pressed. âWith him watching me like that?â
With me craving you like that, he corrected silently. With me knowing how close your pulse runs to the surface. How warm your blood tastes just from scent alone.
He dragged a fingertip across his bottom lip.
Five minutes was up.
Actuallyâno, it wasnât.
But he didnât give a fuck.
Stack appeared at the end of the hallway like a shadow peeled off the wall. Silent, sharp, golden-eyed.
âFive minutes up,â he said dryly, âThough I was generous. Clocked it at three.â
His tone held something hot beneath the sarcasmâjealousy sharpened to a bladeâs edge. But his mouth wore a smirk, smug and dangerous.
He didnât look at Smoke.
He looked at her.
Eyes dropping to her neck. Her chest. The pulse he wanted to feel under his tongue.
âYou ready to head back and enjoy the ride?â he asked, voice rich with something older than flirtation. His eyes dragged slow over her throat, down the line of her collarbone like a man memorizing his next meal, âOr you need a little more time to figure out why youâre trembling?â
They didnât say much on the walk back.
Smoke held the curtain open, but it was Stack who leaned in first, voice low and velvet-rough:
âLadies first.â
Alanna raised a brow at the formality, but stepped forward anywayâshoulders back, head high, trying not to let her nerves show.
They both watched her walk.
The sway of her hips. The dip of her waist. The soft roll of tension in her spine that told them she was still deciding if she should turn around and runâor keep walking toward whatever this was.
Stackâs eyes dragged down the length of her legs like he could taste them. Smokeâs gaze didnât move at all. Just watched, eyes half-lidded, the corner of his mouth twitching as if to say I already know how she moves when sheâs on top of me.
Behind the curtain, the alcove waited. Shadow-soaked. Hungry.
Just like them.
The jazz faded behind the velvet curtains. Smokeâs fingers traced idle circles on the inside of her thigh, but Alannaâs body was no longer paying attention to his hands. Her senses were on something else entirely.
He sat across from her, one arm resting on the back of the couch, the other loosely gripping his glass. The red drink swirled lazily in the crystalâtoo thick to be wine, too opaque to see through. His legs were parted. Posture relaxed. But nothing about him was casual.
He was watching her.
Not with hunger.
With certainty.
Like he already knew her.
Alanna took another sip of the chilled champagne, barely tasting it. The bubbles tickled her throat, sharp and effervescent, but it was the cool weight of the glass in her hand that grounded her. She sat back, spine taut, caught between Smokeâs quiet heat beside her and Stackâs relentless gaze across from her. It felt like a velvet-lined cageâluxurious, yes, but closed. She didnât even notice sheâd drained the glass until a silent waitress appeared at her side with a fresh pour. Alanna accepted it without a word, fingers curling around the stem a little tighter than before.
Alanna shifted slightly in her seat. Smokeâs thumb flexed gently against her thigh, grounding herâbut her mind was slipping somewhere it didnât belong. The more she tried not to look, the more her gaze wandered back.
And when their eyes locked again, Stackâs lips curvedâjust slightly.
âThat quiet act supposed to keep me guessing?â he asked, eyes glinting, ââCause itâs just making me want to know more.â
Alanna tilted her head, deflecting with a dry smile, âMaybe Iâm just thinking.â
Stack leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. His stare didnât waver.
âYou ready to talk, then?â
She blinked, âTalk?â
âYouâve had about a thousand questions dancing across that pretty face since the moment you stepped foot in this place.â His tone stayed smooth, but there was something heavier tucked beneath it. Something knowing.
Alanna glanced at Smoke, as if to check whether he noticed anything off.
He was calm. Too calm.
Stack smiled at that.
âI wonât bite,â he added, tilting his glass in her direction, âNot unless you ask nice.â
Her lips parted slightlyâwhether in amusement or something else, she wasnât sure, âYou always this forward?â
Stackâs eyes didnât glow. Not fully. But they shimmered, just for a second. Like light bending where it shouldnât.
âOnly when I already know the answer.â
She stiffened.
He couldnât know. There was no way he could know.
But her heart was already racing.
He sat back again, fingers dragging across his thigh, eyes still locked on her like a tether, âYouâre curious. Thatâs good. Curiosity is honest.â
âI didnât say I was curious.â
âYou didnât have to.â
Smoke shifted beside herâalmost protectivelyâbut he didnât speak. His hand stayed on her leg, thumb still moving slow.
Alanna swallowed.
She wasnât afraid. But she wasnât calm, either. It was like standing at the edge of a deep pool, feeling the gravity tug at her calves, knowing the second she stepped in, sheâd be pulled under something she wouldnât understand.
Stack tilted his head, watching her process.
âLet me help you,â he said, âYou got questions, sweetness. I can feel them. Let me give you the kind of answers only I can.â
Alanna met his gaze, defiant now, trying to gather what was left of her footing.
âAnd what kind is that?â
He smiled again, slower this time, âThe kind Smoke canât give you.â
The air tightened around her. Her mouth went dry. She didnât move, didnât speak, but deep in her chest, she knew...
This was the moment the night changed.
Stack said nothing.
He only held out his hand.
It hung there between them, palm open, fingers relaxed, unfazed by her hesitation. Smoke stood just behind her, close enough to steady her with his presence, but not pressing. His silence was a kind of trust. A vow to let her decide.
Alanna looked at Stackâs hand.
His fingers were thick, smooth, dusted with a few rings that caught candlelight along their beveled edges. His nails were clean, shaped. Everything about him was exact. Still. Waiting.
She stepped forward and placed her hand in his.
The contact was immediate.
Not cold, not anymore. But not warm either. His skin felt like it held temperature differently. Like whatever heat he absorbed, he stored it slowly, intentionally. His grip was firm without force. Her hand fit in his, and she knew somehow heâd already memorized the shape of it.
Stack didnât speak. He simply began to walk.
And she followed.
His private quarters were hidden behind an archway draped in thick black velvet. The moment they crossed beneath it, the sound of the club dropped away entirely. No jazz. No laughter. No ghostly movement. Just quiet.
The hallway stretched long and narrow, lined with tall mirrors framed in ornate black and gold. The lighting came from wall sconces shaped like cupped hands, each holding a flickering flame no taller than a pinky finger. The air was scentedârich and woody, with something beneath it she couldnât name. Not incense. Not perfume. Something darker, like amber cracked open under pressure.
She glanced at Stack as they walked.
He moved like he had all the time in the world. No urgency, no nerves. Each step measured. His posture wasnât showy, but it commanded attention. Shoulders square. Chin lifted. He did not walk like a manâhe walked like something that used to be one.
And yetâŚthere was no cruelty in him. Not yet.
Just silence.
He hadnât looked at her since they left the balcony, but she felt it in the space between them. That magnetism. That gravity. Like his body pulled at hers even without intention.
Her breath came a little shallower. Not from panic. From anticipation.
The dress she wore suddenly felt tighter. Or maybe it was the way his presence filled the corridor.
Her heels clicked softly against the stone floor. His loafers made no sound at all.
She noticed.
He led her to a set of double doors carved from deep walnut, each panel inlaid with more of those intricate patterns. Symbols that felt familiar even though she didnât know what they meant. He pushed them open without effort.
Inside, the space stretched wide.
It was not a bedroom, not exactlyâbut a den of some kind. The ceilings were high, draped with sheer black fabric that hung in long waves. Candlelight flickered from the corners, reflected in glass and gold. There was a low sectional arranged near a hearth where a fire burned without smoke. Bookshelves lined one wall, tall and packed. A long table stood near the far end, crystal decanters and silver trays set out in perfect symmetry.
Everything was dark and lush and slow.
Stack let go of her hand.
âMake yourself comfortable,â he said.
His voice was lower here, thickened by the hush of the room. It rolled down her spine like velvet tipped in heat.
She stepped forward and turned in a slow circle, taking it in.
There were no windows. No clocks. No doors visible beyond the one they came through.
Time had no weight here.
Smoke entered last, his presence re-centering her for a moment. He came to her side, his hand resting at the curve of her back.
âYou still with me, baby?â he asked softly.
She nodded, eyes still scanning the space, âThis feels like somewhere dreams get madeâŚor broken.â
Smoke smiled against her temple, âOnly if you let it.â
A tray appeared from the side, carried by someone who didnât walk so much as drift. Another woman in black. Pale eyes, high cheekbones, lips stained the same deep red as the singer downstairs. She held the tray out between her palms, offering drinks without words.
Alanna reached for one.
The glass was thin and cold, filled with something golden and glimmering. It looked normal. She took a cautious sipâdry, sweet, touched with something floral. Smooth. Calming. She let it sit on her tongue before swallowing.
Stack took his own drink from the tray. A darker glass. No surprise. But this time, Alanna watched the way he held it. The way the liquid inside clung to the sides. Slower than it should have. Thicker.
He noticed her watching.
She didnât look away.
âWhat is that,â she asked.
Stack raised the glass slowly, âWhat keeps meâŚsteady.â
The answer was too clean. But he wasnât hiding it.
She looked back at Smoke, âSoâŚwhat now?â
Smoke didnât speak.
Stack did.
âNow I ask,â he said, stepping closer, âif youâre here for him, or if youâre here for you.â
Alanna blinked, startled, âExcuse me?â
âThis place doesnât care what you do,â Stack said, âBut you should.â
âI didnât ask for any of this,â she said.
âI know. And yet you walked in.â
Her lips parted. He was right. But that didnât make it easier. She crossed her arms lightly. Not defensive. Just gathering herself.
âIâm still figuring out how I feel.â
âGood,â he said, âMost people lie. You havenât.â
She met his eyes fully now.
Something passed between them. Not quite heat. Not yet. But something sharper. Something that could burn if left untended.
âI just donât want to get it twisted,â she said slowly, âWhat any of this actually is.â
Stackâs gaze flicked that way, âHe knows the rules. He wrote them.â
âAnd you?â she asked.
âI donât want to take,â he said, âBut I know how to want.â
That stopped her breath for a moment. She took another sip and for the first time since theyâd arrived, she let herself settle into the seat. Not because she felt safe. Because she wanted to feel something else.
And Stack saw it. All of it.
Alanna wasnât sure when the air had changed.
The room hadnât moved. No lights flickered. The walls hadnât shifted. But something beneath her skin told her things had turned. The kind of shift you feel before a thunderstorm breaks. Before the water boils. Before the drop on a rollercoaster you didnât brace for.
Stack had been watching her.
Not in the usual way. Not like a man watches a woman he wants.
This was older. Slower. Hungrier.
He stood a few feet away, drink in hand, his posture relaxed, but his attention was razor sharp. Every movement of hersâhow her breath hitched, how her eyes kept scanning him like her body was trying to figure something out her mind hadnât caught up to yetâhe watched all of it.
âAlanna? Youâre still with me, baby?â Smokeâs voice pulled her back. He was at her side again, fingers grazing the top of her hand.
She nodded. Once. Not convincing either of them.
Stack set his drink down on the nearby table, the soft click of glass on marble louder than it should have been in the silence.
Then he turned toward her fully.
And something changed.
Alannaâs breath caught.
His mouth parted ever so slightly, and when it didâ
She saw them.
Fangs.
Not long. Not exaggerated. But sharp. Smooth. White as bone. Not prosthetic, not decorative. Real. Real in a way that hit her all at once like the air had been yanked out of her lungs.
Her body stiffened.
She couldnât move for a second. Couldnât blink.
And Stack smiled. Slow. Like he had been waiting.
Her mouth opened but nothing came out.
Thenâbarely audibleâ
âY-youâre aâŚaâŚâ
Stack chuckled, and God, even that sounded smooth, âA vampire?â His eyes glinted, and as if on cue, they began to glow. Not in a cartoonish, garish way. It was subtle. Beautiful. Terrifying. Like a candle lit behind dark glass, âThat what you wanna say?â
She took a step back. Not far. Just enough.
Her gaze darted to Smoke.
But even he looked different now. Not dangerousâbut not innocent either. The shadows on his face had shifted. The weight in his eyes was real.
âSmoke,â she whispered, âTell me Iâm dreaming.â
He stepped toward her slowly, hands open, calm, âYouâre not.â
âNo.â
âAlannaââ
âNo.â She backed up another step. Her chest rose in quick, short breaths. Her voice cracked when she said it, âMaybe you fucked me into some deep sleep I canât wake up fromâŚthis shit ainât real.â
Smoke moved to her, cupped her face gently. His thumbs stroked beneath her jaw. She didnât pull away, but her eyes were wide, wet, searching, âThis is real,â he said quietly, âAnd youâre safe. Youâre still you.â
âI watched youâŚâ she shook her head, blinking, âHe justâŚappeared out of shadows. His eyesâyour eyesâbut darker. And his teethâwhat the fuck are his teeth?â
âTruth,â Stack said from behind Smoke, still leaning casually against the table, âYou said you wanted it. This is mine.â
She stared at him again, her whole world shifting beneath her, âYouâre serious.â
âAlways.â
âAnd you drink blood?â
Stack tilted his head, eyes glittering, âWhat else would I drink?â he drawled, âIâm a vampire, sweetheart. We drink blood. Seduce. We fuck like weâre starving.â He didnât blink when he said it. Didnât smile right away either. Just let it sit between themâhot, heavy, and deliberate. Then came the grin. Slow. Knowing, âSound like something you could survive?â
Alannaâs lips parted again, but she had no words.
Her knees felt weak.
Smoke noticed and guided her gently to sit. She lowered herself down, trying to breathe through it, the room spinning slowly, like her reality was rotating just off axis. She pressed her palms to her thighs, trying to ground.
âAlanna,â Smoke said, kneeling in front of her, his forehead nearly touching hers, âI know this is a lot. And I shouldâve told you sooner. But I needed you to see it. Not just hear it. I needed you to feel it.â
She didnât speak.
Stack stepped forward a few paces, slow and deliberate, âIâm not here to hurt you,â he said, âAnd Iâm not some storybook monster. But I am what I am. And now that you knowâŚâ
He let the words hang.
And thatâthatâwas the part that hit her hardest.
Now that she knew, there was no going back.
And for some strange reasonâŚeven as the fear curled in her gut and the questions beat against the inside of her skull, she realized something else.
Alannaâs fingers curled tighter around Smokeâs sleeve, her nails digging gently. She pressed in closer to him, almost chest to arm now, and she didnât care how it looked. His presence was the only thing anchoring her in this room. Stack stood only a few feet away, posture loose, hands relaxed, but the way he looked at her was anything but casual. His eyes werenât just admiringâthey were studying. Licking over her skin without a single touch.
It made her insides tighten.
She wasnât sure if it was dread or something far worse.
And he saw it.
That unnerved her more than anything.
Stackâs gaze moved from her mouth to her throat, then down the lines of her figure with no shame, like he was reading her pulse just by watching it beat under her skin.
âDamn,â he said low, his voice like thick honey poured slow over the rim of a glass, âHe didnât do you justice.â
Alannaâs body stiffened immediately.
She turned toward Smoke, incredulous, her voice sharp, âYou just gonâ let him talk like that in front of you?â
Smokeâs jaw tensed. Not in angerâbut restraint. He didnât answer right away.
Stack smirked, âYou actinâ like Iâm being disrespectful,â he said, shifting his weight casually, âIâm complimentinâ the queen. Ainât that right?â
She squared her shoulders and leaned in slightly toward Stack, voice cool but edged with fire, âFirst of all, Iâm not interested in flattery from someone who looks like my manâs dark reflection. And secondâŚI didnât come here for all this smooth-talking, cryptic charm bullshit.â
Stackâs grin widened. He dragged his tongue lightly over the edge of his canineâsubtle, calculated, âDark reflection. I like that. You get poetic when you mad, huh?â
âIâm not mad,â she shot back, âIâm confused.â
Smoke stepped in, hand settling at the small of her back again, âAlannaââ
âNo, for real,â she said, snapping her head to him, âWhat are we doing here? You been quiet this whole time while heâs out here talking like heâs picking out dessert.â
Stack let out a low laugh, âBaby, if you was dessert, Iâd savor you slow.â
Her eyes narrowed, cutting right through him, âSee, itâs that right there.â She took a breath and looked back at Smoke, but her voice cracked just slightly when she asked, âWhy are you letting this happen?â
Smoke didnât flinch. His thumb stroked across the dip of her spine in a way that always calmed herâbut not tonight, âBecause I trust you,â he said, âAnd I trust him. It ainât about letting anything happen. Youâre in control.â
âThen why does it feel like Iâm the only one that didnât get the script?â
That was when Stack took a step forward.
His body didnât rush. He wasnât imposing. But the air shifted when he moved, as if something unseen moved with him.
His voice droppedâsmooth, direct, unfiltered, âSo you still donât get it, sweetness?â
Alanna blinked, âWhat exactly is this,â she asked finally, âBecause nobodyâs said it out loud yet.â
Stack took a slow sip of his drink before answering. His eyes never left hers.
âThis,â he said, gesturing lightly around them, âis where things that donât fit above ground come to breathe.â
Her brow furrowed, âBreathe?âÂ
Smoke kissed her again, softer this time, âJust hear him out.â
She did.
Stack straightened, setting his glass down. When he stepped closer, she felt it again. That shift. The air tightening around him.
âMy brother made a pact some time ago,â Stack said, âOne that lets him move between worlds without paying the price I did.â
Alannaâs fingers curled around her glass, âAnd the price was?âÂ
Stack tilted his head, âDeath.â
The word settled heavy. Her breath caught before she could stop it. She looked at Smoke sharply, but he did not look away. He did not deny it.
âStack,â Smoke said calmly.
âItâs fine,â Stack replied. âSheâs already standing in it.â
Alanna swallowed. âYouâre deadâŚâ
âYes.â The simplicity of it was unsettling., âAnd I can only touch the living,â Stack continued, âone day out of the year.â
Her stomach dropped, âTonight.â
Smokeâs hand tightened at her waist, âIâm here. You donât have to do anything.â
âBut,â Stack said softly, stepping closer, âyou already crossed the line just by walking in.â
She laughed once, sharp and nervous, âThat doesnât sound like a choice.â
âIt is,â Smoke said quickly, âAlways.â
Stackâs gaze flicked to his brother, something dark and amused passing between them, âWhat Smoke hasnât said,â Stack continued, âis why you matter.â
Alannaâs pulse thudded in her ears, âWhy do I?â
âBecause you are alive in a way most people arenât,â Stack said, âAnd because my brother is tethered to you.â
Smoke did not interrupt.
âThrough you,â Stack said, âhe can reach me. Share what he has.â
Her chest tightened, âYouâre talking about me like Iâm a door.â
Stack smiled, âA bridge.â
Silence stretched.
Stackâs fingers trailed the rim of his glass, slow and deliberate, as he looked at her. The club pulsed below, bodies swaying, velvet shadows moving like liquid, but up here, in the hush of his private alcove, everything stilled. Alanna stood across from him, close to Smoke, yet aware of Stack like a live wire just beneath the skin. His presence was impossible to ignore. She tried not to stare, but his eyesâdeep, unreadable, full of things she didnât yet have language forâpulled her gaze back every time.
âYou feel it, donât you?â he said softly.
Her brows knit, âFeel what?â
Stack leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees. His voice dropped to something intimate. Not flirtation nowâbut confession.
âThis pull. The static in the air when I look at you. The way your skin knows somethingâs not right but doesnât want to run.â
Alanna swallowed. Her heart beat louder in her ears.
Stackâs eyes never left hers, âYou think itâs just curiosity. Maybe lust. Maybe nerves. But itâs more than that. You donât even know what youâre carrying, do you?â
She didnât speak.
He sat back, exhaling, glass still in hand, âMy brotherâŚhe donât share easy. But he shared you.â Stack paused, letting that land, âAnd not just because youâre fine as hellâthough God knows, you are.â His gaze dipped, once, over her body before rising back to her face, âHe shared you because youâre more than a lover. Youâre his rhythm. His tether. You make him feel.â His voice sharpened, quiet but charged, âAnd I donât get to feel much anymore, Alanna.â
Her lips parted, a breath catching in her throat.
Stack went on, âWhen we were younger, women came and went. But when we found one we both likedâreally likedâit was sacred. Something pure. Something ours.â His jaw flexed, âBut now? Iâm stuck in shadows. Silence. I canât touch the world without consequence.â
He lifted his hand, palm open, âBut through youâŚI can reach him.â
Alanna blinked, confused, âReach him?â
âNot just him. What he has.â Stackâs voice thinned, like he was trying not to let too much emotion slip out with the words, âThe warmth. The breath. The ache of real skin under my hands. The heat of blood rushing under the surface.â
She sat still, caught in the gravity of it.
âIâm not asking for pity,â Stack added, softer now, âBut understand thisâthrough you, I get a taste of life again. I get to feel human. I get to remember what it means to want something that ainât just about survival.â
He let the silence hang there. The heat of it. The truth of it. Then, his eyes dropped to her lips, âThatâs why I want you,â he said, voice low as silk and shadow, âNot just because youâre his. Not just because youâre beautiful. But because something in you woke something in me. And if you let me touch itâŚâ He leaned in slowly, just close enough for her to feel the cold edge of his presence across her neck, ââŚI promise Iâll make you feel everything he does. And more.â
Smoke turned her gently, forcing her to meet his eyes. âI would never offer you if I didnât trust you.â
âOffer me,â she repeated quietly.
âYes,â Stack said, unashamed, âOne night. Thatâs all. I get to feel what my brother feels. You get to walk away untouched.â
Her skin prickled, âAnd what do you get?â
Stackâs eyes darkened, âRelief.â
Smoke leaned his forehead against hers, âYou donât have to decide right now.â
But the way Stack looked at her said otherwise.
The balance had shifted. She felt it clearly now. The way Smoke stayed close, protective but expectant. The way Stack stood just far enough away to let curiosity do the work for him. She was no longer just Smokeâs girl standing at his side. She was the center of something older, heavier, and far more dangerous than she had imagined. And both brothers were watching her to see what she would do next.
Stack tilted his head slightly, those shadow-rich eyes locked on hers, his fangs just barely visible now behind a slow grin, âMy brother,â he said, âis offering you to me. For one night.â
Alannaâs breath caught in her throat.
Stack took another step, still a respectful distanceâbut it felt closer, âHe loves you,â he continued, âand he wants me to find out how much.â
The words hung in the air, heavy as velvet soaked in wine. Alanna stared at him. Her lips parted, but nothing came out. Her chest rose slowly, breath trying to steady itself against the shock.
âYou think this is a joke?â she finally asked, voice quieter now, but no less sharp.
âI think this is trust,â Stack replied, âAnd trust is rare. Even rarer when it comes wrapped in a body like yours.â
She hated how her skin reacted to that. The warm flush up her neck. The curl in her belly. Not from what he saidâbut how he said it. The calm. The confidence. The eerie certainty, like he knew sheâd end up curious, if nothing else.
Smoke didnât speak. He was watching her, quietly. His eyes werenât pleading. They werenât pushing. But he was waiting. Waiting to see if sheâd leave. Or lean in.
Alanna lifted her chin again, eyes burning straight into Stackâs, âIf I say no?â
Stackâs smile didnât fade. It softened, âYou walk,â he said, âI donât touch you. You stay with him. Just like now.â
âAnd if I say yes?â
He didnât answer. He just looked at her. And the silence answered for him.
Alannaâs voice didnât tremble when she said it, âI need to go home.â
Stack didnât move.
Smoke didnât argue. He stepped closer, hand settling lightly on her lower backânever guiding, just there, âYou sure?â he asked.
She nodded.
Her fingers tightened slightly on the stem of the half-finished glass still in her hand. She set it down carefully on the tray. Stackâs eyes followed the movement, then rose slowly to her face. She looked at him once more. Just a glance. And even that felt like too much. Because his eyesâŚdidnât beg. They didnât plead. But they lingeredâa heatless fire behind glass. Like he could see all the way through her, and heâd be waiting for what he saw to come crawling back on its own.
She hated how that made her chest ache.
Stack didnât speak. Didnât stop her.
And that, more than anything, made it harder to walk away. But she did. She walked out the way she cameâin Smokeâs shadow, but on her own feet.
The Ride Home Was Quiet...
Too quiet.
The tires hummed against the road, and the city lights returned bit by bit, blinking like nothing strange had ever happened just beyond their reach. Alanna didnât speak. She sat turned slightly toward the window, her body perfectly still, but her mind was clawing through everything. The smell of Stackâs drink. The flash of his fangs. The glow in his eyes when he smiled and said her name like he was trying it on.
One night.
She pressed her palm to her knee and dragged it down to anchor herself. She wasnât afraid. Not of him. Not of what he was. She was afraid of how easily she had listened. And how hard it was to forget the way he looked at her.
The front door clicked closed behind them. Home.
Alanna slipped out of her coat and walked through the familiar hallway. The space was dim and quiet. Soft lighting spilled from a single lamp in the corner, casting warm shadows over the leather sofa, the record player, the folded blanket she always used. Safe. She sat on the edge of the bed without a word. Smoke followed her in silence. When he crouched in front of her, it startled herânot because she didnât expect him, but because of how gentle it was. He reached for her foot and lifted it onto his thigh. Fingers unbuckled her heel slowly. Deliberately.
He didnât look away once. His eyes stayed locked on hers, âYou mad?â he asked, voice low.
Alanna didnât answer right away. He slipped the shoe off and set it neatly aside, then reached for the other. She spoke as he touched her again, âAre you into sharing your woman?â Her voice wasnât sharp. It was real. Raw, âIs that a kink for you?â
Smoke didnât flinch. He didnât drop his gaze. He took the second shoe off and let it fall beside the first, his hands now bare against her calves, moving up slow, resting just below her knees.
âIt is,â he said, âBut itâs not just that.â
Alanna stared at him, waiting.
Smoke exhaled slowly, âI knew Stack would love you.â
She blinked, âLove?â
His hands paused, âI didnât mean that kind of love,â he clarified, âI meantâŚheâd get you. The way I do. I could see it from the beginning.â
Her throat tightened, âSo this was always the plan?â she asked.
âNo,â he said, âThis wasnât a setup. I didnât bring you to him to trick you.â
She searched his eyes. He didnât look like a man trying to lie his way out of something. He looked like a man whoâd thought about all of thisâŚand still chose it. Alanna shifted slightly, knees brushing against his shoulders. Her voice was quieter now.
âHave you two done this before?â
Smokeâs jaw flexed once. Then he nodded, âYeah,â he said, âWeâve shared before. Not often. Not recently. But yeah.â
Alanna leaned back slowly on her palms, âWhy? What else is there? Besides the whole supernatural stuff.âÂ
Smoke stayed crouched in front of her, hands on her thighs, still keeping that eye contact that never wavered.
Smoke didnât look away.
Not when she asked. Not when the weight of it sat between them.
He stayed crouched in front of her, hands still resting on her legs, thumbs pressing lightly into her skin like he needed to feel something solid while he said it.
âIâm not gonna dress it up,â he said, âI get off on it.â
Alannaâs breath stilled.
âOn what?â she asked quietly, even though she already knew.
âOn another man fuckinâ my woman,â Smoke said plainly, âOn sharing whatâs mine. On watchinâ her take somebody else and still come back to me.â
Her throat tightened, but she didnât pull away.
Smoke continued, voice steady, unashamed, âAnd if Iâm gonna explore that part of me, it ainât gonna be just anybody. Itâs gonna be my brother.â He shifted closer, lowering his voice, âMe and Stack might be on two different sides of the world, but the kind of women we like?â He gave a faint, knowing smile, âSame. Always been.â
Alanna searched his face, trying to find uncertainty. Doubt. Something softer.
There wasnât any.
âI figured if Iâm gonna enjoy it,â he went on, âI might as well enjoy it while I can. Vampire laws donât play fair anymore. No human feeding. No human companions. Everything he does has to be quiet. Controlled. Hidden.â
His jaw flexed.
âHeâs already had problems before. Crossed lines. Drew attention he shouldnât have. So now? He moves careful. He moves alone.â Smokeâs hands slid slightly higher on her thighs, grounding but not possessive, âThis,â he said, meeting her eyes again, âis one of the few ways he gets close without breaking the rules. And Iâm not gonna lie to you and pretend Iâm some kind of martyr about it.â He paused, then added calmly, âI like watchinâ. I like knowinâ sheâs wanted. And I like knowinâ she still mine when itâs over.â
The room felt quieter after that. Not tense. Honest. Alanna sat there, absorbing it, realizing that what unsettled her wasnât the kink itselfâbut how clear he was about it. No excuses. No justifications dressed up as romance. Just truth. And somehow, that made it harder to dismiss.
He straightened slowly, rising to his feet.
Alanna looked up at him, heart aching and racing all at once, âAnd now through me,â she said quietly.
Smoke stepped closer, hands sliding to cup her face, âIâll never let him have whatâs mine unless I know she can handle it. Unless I know she wants it.â His thumb brushed her cheek, âAnd if she doesnâtâŚwe leave it right there. No harm. No guilt.â
Her breath caught again. She felt like sheâd been peeled open. But not violated. Not pushed. Just seen.
She reached for his wrist and held it, thumb brushing across the back of his hand, âIâm still thinking.â
Smoke nodded once, âIâll wait.â
One Week Later:Â
The week passed like a fever dream she couldnât sweat out. By day, she tried to stay busyâanswering emails she barely read, cooking meals she didnât finish, folding the same basket of clothes more times than necessary. Smoke gave her space, and that somehow made it worse. He didnât push, didnât crowd her. JustâŚwatched. Waited. Sometimes touched her low on the back when he passed, or brushed his lips against her temple in passing, like he already knew what she was deciding.
And God, maybe he did. Because it wasnât just the offer that haunted her. It was the look in Stackâs eyes. That knowing, ageless hunger that seemed to see straight through her skin and down to the pulse beneath. That crooked smile, those fangs slipping forward with deliberate ease. The way heâd looked at her like she was ripe fruit heâd waited decades to taste. She was scared. But not of Stack. She was scared of herself.
Of the way her thighs had clenched when he called her sweetness. Of how she kept replaying the moment he licked his teeth and said, âYou still donât get it, do you?â
She wanted to slap him and kiss him in the same breath. And that pissed her off more than anything. The nights were the hardest. Sheâd lie next to Smoke, curled against the familiar heat of his chest, and find herself wondering what his brotherâs skin would feel like. Cooler? Rougher? Would he grip her the same way? Would it hurt? Would it change her? She hated herself for wanting to know.
Until she didnât.
By the seventh day, she cracked.
The house was quiet. Rain tapped against the windows in slow rhythms. She lit candles, poured a glass of wineâred, almost black in the low lightâand sank into the tub. Bubbles lapped at her collarbones. The water was hot enough to flush her skin, to make her limbs loose. And still, she couldnât relax. Her mind wandered. Stack, in the shadows. Smoke, behind him. Watching. Wanting.
She closed her eyes, letting the water rise over her chest, her neck. She ran her fingers slowly down her stomach, imagining what it would be like to have both their hands on her. One warm, one cool. One familiar, the other forbidden.
What does it feel like to fuck a vampire?
The question echoed. Not whispered in shameâbut bold, sensual, pulsing. Sheâd only seen it in movies. Pale fangs, dramatic moans, red lips, necks bitten in ecstasy. She always rolled her eyes. Now she couldnât stop imagining it. Stackâs voice in her ear. Smokeâs weight behind her. The air electric. Her body torn between fear and need. She didnât even realize she was trembling until she took another sip of wine to calm herself. And in that momentâwarm, wet, buzzed, achingâAlanna made her choice. She knew Smoke would feel it the moment she made the decision. Heâd come to her. And she would let him know.
She was ready.
The air was still heavy with warmth and lilac-scented bathwater. Soft neo-soul played low from the corner speaker, and the candlelight danced against the tile walls, casting shifting shadows over Alannaâs skin. She sat curled in the deep porcelain tub, knees drawn in, wine glass balanced on the lip behind her, her hair damp, her body glistening.
The door opened with a subtle click.
Smoke stepped in, slow and unhurried, as if heâd already known sheâd be hereâwaiting, soaking, thinking.
His eyes found her first. Then the tub. Then the wine.
And then, her eyes.
âHey,â she said softly, voice slightly hoarse from not speaking.
He didnât answer at first. Just walked over and sat on the edge of the tub, arms resting on his thighs. Watching her.
âWas wondering where you disappeared to.â
Alanna looked up at him. Her gaze didnât flinch, âI needed to think.â
He nodded once, âYou land on something?â
She breathed in. Out. Steam rose up between them like smoke.
Smokeâs brow arched slightly, but his face remained unreadable, âYou sure?â
Alanna nodded, âYeah.â
He leaned in, elbows on his knees, studying her like he was watching the truth rise from her skin, âWhat made you decide?â
She shifted in the tub, water rippling gently around her thighs. Her eyes droppedâbashful, almost embarrassedâbut when she looked back up, it was there. The quiet confidence. The pull she could no longer ignore.
âI donât know,â she admitted, âItâs justâŚsomething about him. The offer. The way he looks at me. I shouldnât want it. But I do. Iâm curious.â She lifted a shoulder, lips twitching faintly, âAnd maybe I wanna know what itâs like to fuck a twin.â
Smoke gave a low, wicked laugh. His grin was slow, crooked, and too fine for his own good, âVampire twin,â he corrected.
She smiled thenâgenuine, soft, âRight. Vampire twin.â
Smoke leaned forward just enough to trail a finger along the rim of the tub, letting the tip skim through the bubbles, âYou ever gonna ask me if Iâve done the same?â
Alanna tilted her head, âHave you?â
His eyes found hers again, âYeah.â
âReally?â she said, teasing, âYouâve fucked a vampire woman before?â
Smoke smirked, âThat bother you?â
âIâm not,â she said quickly, âI justâwanna know what Iâm getting into.â
His voice dropped an octave, velvet-thick, âItâs an out-of-body experience,â he said, âLiterally. Like your nerves split open and something else slips inside to feel it for you. Every stroke feels like a current. Every orgasm feels like itâs made of lightâŚeven in the dark. Youâll understandâŚsoon enough.â
Alannaâs breath caught just a little. The room grew warmer.
He leaned in and kissed her foreheadâsoft, groundingâand then whispered, âJust remember what I told you, baby. You call for me? Iâm there. Heâs only got what you give.â
She nodded.
And somewhere in the rising steam, in the flicker of candlelight on tile and skin, her choice began to feel less like fallingâand more like being pulled somewhere she was always meant to go.
Smoke didnât rush. He never did. He stood from the edge of the tub and peeled off his shirt slow, letting it drop to the tile without a second thought. The flicker from the corner caught his gold chain, casting light across the ridges of his chest. His pants stayed on, but the imprint of himâthick and readyâpressed bold against the fabric. Alanna watched him move, mouth parting as he reached for the towel, unfolded it with quiet purpose, and held it open.
âCome here.â
She rose without protest, water sliding down her body like it didnât want to let go. Smoke extended his hand, palm up, waiting for her to take it. Alanna placed her fingers in his grip, the warmth of his skin contrasting the cooling water around her. He pulled her up slowly, water cascading down her body in rivulets, soaking the bath mat beneath her feet. She stood there, naked and exposed, droplets clinging to her breasts, her nipples tightening in the humid air. Smoke's gaze traveled over her, lingering on the curve of her hips, the soft mound of her pussy, already showing a hint of slickness from the tension building between them. He wrapped her in the towel, pulled her close, dried her gently, slowly, like she was something worth preserving. His hands skimmed her back, her thighs, the swell of her hips.
Then he reached for the body oil. Thick. Gold-toned. Warm in his palms. He poured it, rubbed his hands together, and started with her shoulders. Worked it into her skin, watching the gloss spread beneath his touch. Down her arms, across her collarbone, between her breasts. he worked the oil into her skin with firm, deliberate strokes, massaging down her arms, then across her collarbone. His hands glided over her breasts, thumbs circling her nipples until they pebbled harder, sending sparks through her core. She shivered when he slicked over her stomachâwhen his thumbs dipped below, grazing the tops of her thighs.
âYou have no idea how long I've waited for this,â Smoke said, his breath brushing her ear as he spoke, âTo see you give in completely. Experience every bit of it with him. The way he'll stretch you, fill you up until you're shaking. And I'll be right there, watching you surrender, your body arching, begging for more.â
 His words wrapped around her like a promise, stirring the ache low in her belly. She could see the bulge in his pants, his dick straining against the fabric, thick and insistent, as he continued rubbing the oil lower, over her stomach, then her thighs. Alanna's breath quickened, her skin tingling under his touch. He knelt slightly to coat her legs, fingers tracing inward, brushing the sensitive skin near her pussy but not quite touching yet. The oil made her glow, slick and inviting, every inch of her body humming with anticipation. Smoke stood, wiping his hands on a towel, but his eyes stayed locked on hers, dark with desire.
âYou ready for whatâs coming?â he asked low, âFor how he gonâ pull sounds outta you you didnât even know you had? You sure about this?â
She nodded. Barely.
He smiled at thatâbut there was nothing soft in his gaze now. Just a slow-building hunger, âGood. I want you to remember how you felt right now. Want dripping down your legs, body soft, chest rising like you already halfway gone. I want you to remember I saw it first.â
He directed simply, taking her hand again. They moved into the bedroom, the air cooler but no less charged. He guided her to the bed, the sheets crisp and waiting. Alanna lay back as he positioned her, legs parted just enough, her oiled body sinking into the mattress. Smoke stood above her, her eyes taking in the defined lines of his chest and abs, then he knelt between her thighs, his erection tenting his pants even more prominently. He started slow, pressing a gentle kiss to her inner thigh, lips soft against the oiled skin. Alanna sighed, her hands fisting the sheets. Smoke's mouth moved higher, tongue flicking out for a wet lick along her outer lips, tasting the faint salt of her skin mixed with the oil. He parted her folds with his thumbs, exposing her clit, swollen and pink, and leaned in to deliver a soft suck, drawing it between his lips with just enough pressure to make her hips twitch. Another lick. A thick oneâup and flat. Tongue pressing heavy as it slid over her clit. She let out a soft whine. Fingers curled into the sheets.
He took his time. Didnât rush, didnât talk. Just stayed focused on the mess she made for him, mouth working like a man who knew exactly what he was doing. His tongue circled slow, then sucked. Just enough to make her toes curl. And then he did it again. And again. Wet licks, soft sucks, mouth greedy. He flattened his tongue and dragged it up through her center, then back down, collecting everything. Cream thick on his chin. She bucked. He held her down. Her legs trembled. He didnât stop. When she moaned louderâhe pulled her closer, one arm locked around her thigh, lips sealed over her clit now. Sucking soft. Pulling slow.
âThat's it,â he breathed against her, the warmth of his words vibrating through her core.Â
His tongue delved deeper, a long, slow lick from her entrance up to her clit, lapping at the gathering wetness. Alanna's pussy responded immediately, juices starting to flow, coating his tongue as he munched gently, lips nibbling the sensitive flesh. He took his time, alternating wet licks that flattened his tongue against her slit with hungry slurps that pulled her arousal into his mouth.
âThat's it, spread for me, let me tear this sloppy pussy up,â Smoke rasped, his words vibrating against her core as he flicked his tongue faster, alternating with hard sucks that made her thighs quake.Â
He slurped up the flood of her arousal, lips smacking greedily, tearing at her with fervent laps that left her pussy throbbing and raw.Â
âGoddamn, you're so fuckinâ nasty, creaming on my face like a desperate slut. Keep leaking, I wanna drown in it.â
Smoke had her legs open wider, ankles resting on his shoulders, her back arching just slightly off the bed as he settled between her thighs. One strong hand gripped her waist, the other palming under her ass, tilting her up to his mouth just how he wanted. Smoke stopped to stare at her pussy for a moment, glistening, twitching, lips parted soft and creamy. Then he leaned back in.Â
First kiss was light. A tease. The second? Open-mouthed. Wet. He licked flat and slow, bottom to top, tongue dragging thick and hot through her folds until her thighs jumped and her toes curled.
âMmm,â he breathed against her, licking again, âKeep them fuckinâ legs open.â
Alanna gasped, thighs quivering as he spread her wider with his hands. His thumbs pressed into the creases of her hips, holding her down while his mouth worked deliberate and slow. He latched onto her clit, sucking gently, then flicking with the tip of his tongue. Soft. Rhythmic. Her hips rolled up, but he pressed her back down.
âNuh uh,â he warned, pulling back to speak directly against her swollen flesh, âStay still. Let me eat it how I wanna.â
He spit slow against her pussy, then spread it in with his tongue, sloppy now, audible, his mouth working like he was tasting the last meal of a man about to die.
He groaned low against her, tongue dragging slow through her folds, âYeah,â he said quietly, âJust like I knew.â
Alanna moaned, hands reaching for his head, fingers curling into his short twists. He let her, just for a second. Then he pulled her closer, burying his face deeper.
âSay my name when I do that,â he growled against her clit, tongue swirling, âYeah. Right there. Say it again.â
âSmokeâŚSmokeâŚSmokeââ She cried out. Not a scream, not a whisper, just raw need, her hips fighting for more friction.
He groaned into her. A deep, hungry sound, âYou clenchinâ like you bout to cum. Go âhead. I want it on my tongue.â He flattened his tongue and licked her in long, slow strokes. Then sucked her clit just onceâhard and wet, âFuck,â he groaned, jaw moving with lazy hunger, âYou feel that? Thatâs you, baby. Creaminâ like a slut.â
She whined his name now, legs shaking. He didnât stop. His fingers gripped her ass, tilted her up, mouth sealed tight around her clit again, sucking rhythmically until her body writhed under him.
Then, she came.
Hard.
He stayed down, riding the wave, tongue flicking through her aftershocks, lips still working like he was addicted to the taste, âIâll stay down here all night if you keep feedinâ me like this,â he rasped when he finally pulled back, mouth glistening, beard wet, âYou gonâ let him hit after I done opened you up like this?â He leaned over her now, cock bulging behind his zipper, thick and aching, âAfter I done made you cum just from my mouth?â
She was too breathless to answer.
He smirked, dragged his fingers through her slick, rubbed it against her own lips, âKeep runninâ from it if you want. Still mine.â
Then he slid two fingers in slow, curling them deep, and lowered his mouth againâready for another taste.
âRound two,â he said softly, âyou ainât ready for him yet, But you gonâ be.â
Alannaâs legs trembled around Smokeâs shoulders, slick with oil and sweat, her back arched off the bed as his mouth stayed buried in her pussy. No words. Just the sound of him.
Lips suctioned to her clit. Tongue dragging through her folds. The soft slurp of wetness, the heavy breath through his nose. The slow stretch of two thick fingers sliding deep inside her, curling just right âover and over. She choked on a moan, fingers tangled in the sheets, her thighs shaking like a live wire. Her stomach clenched, hips twitching. He didnât stop. He didnât stop.The drag of his fingers matched the rhythm of his tongue âslow and deep, then fast and tight, rolling her clit between lips slick with her cream. Her body jerked when he sucked harder, a sudden pulse of pressure that made her cry out.
âAhâSmoke,â she whimpered, voice breaking.
She couldnât see his face, just the top of his head between her legs, shoulders flexed as he held her down with strength and hunger and control. His fingers fucked her in steady rhythm, knuckles deep, thumb spreading her folds open while his mouth took everything. Her sounds turned soft and wet, little whines, breathless whimpers, a shaky gasp that turned into a sob.
She was crying now.
Tears slipping from the corners of her eyes as her body locked up. As the build overtook her. He licked deeper. Pressed harder. Sucked like her pussy owed him something. Fingers pumped faster.
Her hands clawed at the bed. One reached down to push, pullâshe didnât knowâbut he growled low, and her hips dropped again. His mouth sealed tighter. The orgasm hit like a slow collapse.
Her legs gave out. Her body convulsed, locked, shuddered in his grip. Her pussy clenched around his fingers, leaking all over his hand, into his mouth. He held her through it. Licked her through it. Didnât come up for air. Didnât move an inch until she was wrung out, boneless, soaked and sobbing, her breath catching on the aftermath of what he just did to her.
Smoke didnât need to speak. He let her body say it all. He pressed kisses to her pussy like it was his, tongue still flicking lazy against her sensitive bud, drawing every aftershock out until she gasped. Smoke finally rose from between her legs. His lips glistened with her, beard wet, jaw locked with control. He didnât speak right away. Just wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, eyes fixed on her ruined body sprawled across the sheets.
She was still twitching. Breathing hard. Thighs trembling where heâd left her wide and wet. Then, he hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his sweats and slid them down slow. Let gravity do the rest. His dick sprang free, thick and heavy, veins bold down the shaft, the tip slick with his own need. He gave it a slow stroke from root to crown, breathing deep through his nose as he walked back to the bed.
Alannaâs eyes dropped instantly. He caught it. She wasnât ready. Not fully. But she would be.
He climbed up slow, knees sinking into the mattress. One hand stroking his dick, the other pressing soft between her thighs, parting them again. She opened like she belonged that way. He rubbed himself against her. Up and down. Through the mess he made. Her slick coated his shaft in slow, gliding strokes. He dragged the tip from her clit to her entrance and back again, not enteringâjust teasing. His eyes never left hers.
âYou sure you ready to handle my brother?â he asked, voice low, âThis dick already got you cryinâ.â
She blinked up at him, chest rising. Mouth open. Legs wide.
He smirked.
Then he gripped behind her thigh, pulled her closer, and shifted her body where he wanted herâhips tilted just right, knees up, feet flat.
His dick pushed forward, parting her slow.
One long, smooth stroke.
Deep.
Her mouth dropped open. A small cry escaped. Smokeâs brows lowered, jaw flexed, eyes fixed on where they met. He bottomed out, holding still for a moment, feeling her stretch, feeling her flutter. Then he started to move. Slow at first. Then deeper. He wasnât giving her anything to hold on to. Just the weight of him. And the quiet promise that no matter what came next, he was the one whoâd be inside her first. Inside her best. Inside her always.
âThatâs my pussy he gettinâ to fuck,â he said, licking his lips,âI just wanted her nice and full before I shared.â
Smoke stayed deep for a breath, letting her feel the weight of him and every inch. His hands gripped the backs of her thighs and pushed them closer to her chest, bending her easy, folding her open. Then he pulled back slow. All the way to the tip.
Paused. And drove back in.
The sound of it was thick and wet. A deep glide that made her body jolt and her chest rise. Her lips parted around another moan, quiet at first, then louder, strung out by the stretch.
He pulled out again. Slid in deeper this time.
Long strokes. Unhurried. Heavy. Like he was carving his name inside her. Her hands gripped the sheets but didnât pull. Her eyes stayed locked on where their bodies met, mouth open in a dazed moan that never stopped. She couldnât look away. Smoke grunted low, rolling his hips forward again, pace steady. He started working a slow rhythmâin and out, in and outâdick dragging along her walls, dragging her moans out with it.
Her pussy made wet, sucking sounds with every push. He tilted his hips on the next stroke, angled just enough to grind deeper. She whimpered. Her eyes rolled halfway back but landed again on his dick, hypnotized. She wasnât moving. She couldnât. Just breathing, watching, moaning like a girl possessed. Smoke leaned in, hand slipping under her knee to press it higher. Her thighs trembled. Her mouth dropped wider. Her breath hitched. He smiled, then fucked deeper.
Harder.
She mewled when he hit that spot again. She tightened around him like her body was begging. Her lips shook. But he never stopped. Never changed the pace. Thick. Slow. Deep.
He pulled out almost fully, then glided back in, hips flush, balls tapping the curve of her ass. She whimpered again, breathy and soft like she was about to break. He dropped one hand to her stomach, palm flat, pressing down just enough to feel himself inside her.
Smoke stayed deep. Buried to the hilt.His hips rolled slow, smooth, steady like the rhythm of a man who knew he wasnât in a rush to finish. Just to feel. Just to own the space inside her.
Each stroke was thick. Full. Controlled. The drag of his dick pulled moans from her that sounded almost involuntary now, soft, breathless, fluttering at the edges. Her eyes fluttered too, lids heavy, lashes wet. She was losing track of time, of breath, of herself. He held her bent and open, legs pushed high, body folded under the weight of his pace.
And still he rolled. Still he fucked.
Still he watched her come undone beneath him, every thrust hitting deep and slow, like his dick was coaxing her into submission. Not with force. With fullness. With rhythm. With pressure. The bed creaked soft beneath them. The air felt hot and close. Her chest lifted in quick, shallow breaths. The kind that couldnât quite keep up.
Her arms were loose now. Her grip on the sheets had gone slack. Her moans turned weaker. Then smaller. Then faded into tiny gasps. Barely there. Her eyes rolled back, unfocused, fluttering closed for a momentâthen again. And he was still fucking her. Still there. Still grinding. His hands moved up, one pressing lightly on her hip to hold her still, the other dragging over her belly, slow and firm, like a reminder that he was deep. That he wasnât done. Her mouth parted once more and no sound came.
She was gone. Fucked to sleep. Fucked silent.
Her legs fell open wider as her body went limp, her breath evening out into slow, steady exhales. And Smoke gave her a few more strokes, slower now. A final roll of his hips, pushing all the way in and staying there. Watching her. Feeling her. Then he pulled out gently, eyes still locked on her twitching thighs, her leaking pussy, her wrecked body sinking deeper into the sheets.
No words. He didnât need them. Sheâd feel it when she woke up. Her body was attempting to give up to sleepâslow breaths, parted lips, thighs still open, glistening and twitching from the stretch. His cum didnât fill her yet, but she was leaking something rich and messy just from the way heâd worked her open. Her pussy still fluttered in aftershocks, swollen and slick.
And she took it.
The sheets were still damp with sweat and the mess from her pussy when Smoke finally eased away from between her thighs, his tongue and dick leaving her fluttering and wrung out. He kissed her stomach, her hip, her inner thigh, and slid beneath the covers, pulling her close until her body fit into his like a final exhale. Even as her eyes closed. Even as Smokeâs breath steadied beside her. Her body wouldnât settle. Her mind was adrift. Something in her pulsed too loud beneath the surface. And when sleep finally came, it didnât come gently.
It opened her.
The sheets still held the scent of her. Smokeâs mouth had been between her legs not long ago, and his tongue had left her trembling and glassy-eyed, her body drenched in a quiet kind of aftershock. Heâd kissed her thighs, her belly, the slope of her hip, and then folded her into him beneath the covers like a secret tucked away in warmth. His breathing slowed. His grip around her waist settled into something tender.
But Alannaâs body didnât quiet. Her skin still tingled. Her pulse dragged slow and thick through her limbs, like a storm hovering just off the coast.
She closed her eyes.
But sleep didnât soothe her.
It seized her.
And took her somewhere else entirely.
She stood naked in front of a tall mirror that glimmered like a pool of obsidian. Her skin glowed bronze beneath the low, golden light of flickering candles. Her nipples were taut. Her petite frame reflected back at her as though the mirror wanted her just as much as the man behind her did. Her hair spilled over her bare shoulders in loose waves, still wild from earlier, and her thighs gleamed like polished silk, as though someone had already touched her there. But it wasnât Smoke.
Not here.
The room shimmered. The air was thick and warm, perfumed with jasmine, ripe blood orange, something smoky, and something olderâleather damp from rain. The floor beneath her was dark wood, cool against her feet. Behind her, walls loomed deep blue, almost black, hung with heavy drapery that moved as if it breathed.

âmmâjii! too much!â your nails dig into the sheets below you for leverage. subconsciously moving your hips forward away from tojiâs hellish hips.
ânuh uh, donât run mama. take.it.â you feel his large hand grip the back of your neck, pushing down and locking you onto the bed. his other hand giving generous cracks on your ass.
you really donât remember how you got into this position, but, who cares because when tojiâs rearranging your guts, your world goes blank. your eyes are locked in the back of your head, lips parted while saliva runs down your cheek to the bed, legs loosing their sense of feeling due to you being locked in tojiâs grasp.
âhey, donât go passing out on me just yet baby.â you felt slight slaps across your cheek, bringing you back to reality. his vicious pounding continued sending you into a daze that you could never escape from.
one thing toji fushiguro likes to do is fucking tease.
his fake pity tones, mocking your whines and whimpers when you tell him âitâs tâmuch!â or âtake some outt!â he always expects those cute tears to run down your cheeks by the end of the first round.
but todayâs different, you were tired of him always getting a laugh when he sees you take him. so why not give him a taste of his own medicine!
âo-oh shit. iâm close âfuckâ take this f-fucking cum.â toji groaned. his hips faltered in speed, your pussy sounding sloppier and sloppier with each thrust. his hand behind your neck loosened as he started to pushing his weight onto you.
âoh fuh-huck!â he bottoms out, heâs fully rested on top of you now, his warm ropes of cum decorated your pretty walls. his head rests on the side of your cheek, one of his hands still wrapped around your wrist to keep you from running, like you could go anywhere. his other that previously rested on the back of your neck, now in the front.
this was the most vulnerable he was, meaning all he was focused on was unloading in your pussy. this was your opportunity!
âmm-fuck! shiu- tojii!!â it was faint and muffled in the bedding underneath. it didnât take long until toji fully registered what you moaned out, it wasnât just the typical babbling you did when he bottoms out in you, no. more like a name that didnât belong to him.
âwhat was that princess? wânna repeat that fâme?â his tone was stern, it was a demand. âwhat? fuck you so dumb you canât here me?â his fingers tighten around your throat, coaxing a silent moan out of you.
âi-i said mâfuck âoji!â you fibbed, feeling tojiâs eyes piercing through your soul. he shook his head gave a low dangerous chuckle.
âyâknow i donât like lies đŕžŕ˝˛â¤ď¸đŕžŕ˝˛, repeat what you said.â his hips started to grind against the fat of your as, now painted with light maroon bruises and bite marks. done by yours truly.
âmân-not lying jiji!â fibbing again!
toji shook his head again.
not even a second passes before tojiâs roughly picking you up off the bed, carrying you to the bathroom mirror. forcing you to bend over the sink. your trembling legs being the only source of support you have keeping you up.
âill give you one last chance baby.â he loomed over your trembling body, large hands gripping the edges of the sink and the sides of your waist. you whine as you felt his cum drizzle down your thighs to the floor, elbows starting to to sore as they propped you up. fearful of what would be your punishment if you told the truth.
âmânot! oh â fuhhck!â his grip makes home under your chin has he thrusts in you. his hips slamming into the plush of your ass, reciprocating loud smacks bouncing off the bathroom walls.
âthink shiu could fuck you better than this? cryinâ like a bitch on this f-fucking dick.â he forced you to look up into the mirror, tear stained cheeks welcoming more as they prickle from your glossy eyes.
âw-was joking jijiâ! yâer always sâmean tâmeee!â the elongated whine rolled off your tongue, digging your nails into the marble sink. your eyes rolled to the back of your head, tongue lolling out of your mouth. âlook at yourself or ill stopâ
another harsh slap cracked against your cheek, his grip switched to your cheeks. forcing your lips to pucker and and eyes to squint.
his much larger figure towers over you as he continued to pound into you, his tongue brushing against your earlobe as dirty teases fun off of it.
âyea keep cryinâ princess. you can take this shit.â â¤ď¸â
âthis is what you wanted yea? get me riled up so i can fuck you till youâre cryinâ?â â¤ď¸â

ây-yourssuhh!â you whine. being so tired and dumbed out. âi donât know a âyoursuhhhâ baby, try. again.â those last to words followed with two deep thrusts, inducing loud squeals out of you.

Kinktober 2025 Masterlist
The clock above the reception desk ticked past twelve-thirty, the only sound in the wide, empty studio apart from the clink of iron and the dull whir of the ceiling fans.
You had already turned off the front lights; only the emergency row remained on, a pale sliver of light breaking through the darkness.
Cameron Cade was still in the weight room; you could see him through the glass. His white tank top was stuck to his back, each repetition a slow roll of muscle and breath. The man didnât work out for fun; he worked out like he had something to prove. You knew from the beginning that it was due to the unrelenting pressure of his father. That man pushed Cam too much. You brought it up to your father once, but of course he told you to stay in a childâs place. Still, Cam always had to go the extra mile. It wasnât surprising that now you both were in your early twenties that his determination was the same, if not worse.
You drummed your coffin-shaped nails against the countertop, trying your best not to look as irritatedâor as distractedâas you actually were.
"Cam, nigga, you know I close at midnight!"
He grinned without looking up. "Clock says twelve-thirty. That's still tonight, right?"
You crossed your arms. "You're lucky you family; if you weren't, I'd have locked yo beige ass out already."
"I'm not family," he replied, chuckling softly while racking the barbell. "Not by blood anyway."
That line made your pulse spike for a beat or two or three. He was right. His dad and your dad were best friends. You two would hang out a lot as kids, but your mom got full custody of you in eighth grade, so you didnât see him as much after that. The fact that you two went to different high schools didnât help either. Still, the unspoken tension between you two was getting harder and harder to ignore. At least on your part.
He turned and wiped the sweat from his jaw with the edge of his shirt, and the grin turned into something almost shy.
Almost.
You snatched a towel and tossed it in his direction. "You smell like sweat and stubbornness."
"And you love my sweat and stubbornness," he retorted, catching it easily with one hand.
The silence filled with the sound of his breathingâslow, heavy, and too loud in the near-empty space.
He was leaning on one of the benches, big hands braced, head tipped slightly forward; a droplet of sweat slid down his neck and disappeared below his collar.
You found yourself staring and turned quickly toward the hallway. "Iâm lockinâ up."
âGimme five, Y/N,â he said, voice still that deep roughness.
âMannn,â you rolled your eyes again and kissed your teeth. âYou said that shit forty-five minutes ago.â
"Maybe I say a lot of shit I don't mean."
Oop, you weren't touching that one with a ten-foot pole; that could mean anything. That was too loaded.
You huffed, faking annoyance, but the corner of your mouth curling upwards betrayed you.
You walked across the hall and turned up the thermostat for the saunaâyour little sanctum, especially after a sixteen-hour shift. The steam system hissed faintly from the back corridor.
You loved to decompress in the sauna after hours for an hour or so. Especially after long-ass days like today. It was hard work owning a gym, but you wouldnât trade it for the world.
You took off your t-shirt and gym shorts, leaving you only in a black two-piece bathing suit. Normally youâd go naked in just a towel, but since Cameron was still there, you decided to at least keep something on. You unsnapped your smartwatch and set it next to your phone and other belongings in the cubby.
Cameron casually sauntered up behind you, his short hair damp and a fresh shirt slung over his shoulder. His whole body glistened from residual sweat and the wet veiling of eucalyptus oil from the towel rack in the weight room.
âDamn, Y/N. You ever get tired of the sauna?â
âDamn, Cam.â You retorted, mockingly throwing your arms up. âYou ever get tired of elevated goblet squats?â
He threw his head back and laughed. âDamn, girl. You been cominâ for me all day.â
His laugh was so contagious you couldnât help but let out a laugh of your own as you kicked off your shoes and socks. âBecause youâve been a pain in my ass since we were 11 years old!â
âAight. Mind if I join you?â
You pinched the bridge of your nose and sighed deeply. âI just need one hour of quiet.â
âI can keep quiet.â
You raised an eyebrow. âYeah, right. Come on, I guess.â And you shook your head, grabbing a towel off the rack.
He laughed again, low and effortless. The sound followed you as you pulled the door open; a surge of heat washed out, thick and aromatic. You could feel him behind you, still smirking as he quickly stripped down to his briefs and grabbed another towel himself, still too close.
âYou really cool with me cominâ along?â
âDepends.â
âOn what?â
âWhether you can behave or not.â
âWell, weâll see,â he murmured.
The door clicked shut behind him, and the heat enveloped you both instantly. The steam unit began to hiss in the small cedar room, a steady exhale that seemed to make everything else silent.
You moved over to the control panel and tapped it down a few degrees; the numbers glowed orange through the haze.
"You sure you don't mind it this hot?" you asked, glancing back toward him.
"Two-a-days in August?" Cam let out a quiet snort. âShit. This is a damn vacation."
You found a seat on the lower bench, towel tied around your hips, head back with your feet out. He sat down on the other bench, fists clasped around his knees, already beginning to glisten on his shoulders with sweat.
For a moment, neither one of you said anything. Just enjoying the sounds of slow breaths and the slow drip of condensation off the ceiling. The quietness between you felt familiar yet charged.
He was the first to break the silence.
âYou still with that hoe-ass, septum-piercing-havin' ass nigga, Lorenz?â
It took everything in you not to laugh, so you quipped back. âYou still with that self-hating, blue-eye-contact-wearin' ass hoe Katina?â
After staring at each other for a record-breaking four seconds, you both burst into laughter, leaning forward with your hands clutching your bellies.
âMan, you shouldâve seen her when she switched to the green ones.â
You threw your head back, cackling.
âAnd that is why I used to close my eyes during missionary. I just couldnât take that shit anymore,â he added.
âNigga, shut up! My stomach hurts!â
He slapped his knee, still laughing.
Eventually, both of you composed yourselves, the air still buzzing with amusement.
You leaned back and sighed deeply. âBut nah, I ainât with him no more.â
âWhat happened?â
âHe broke up with me last Christmas,â you said with a shrug. âGave me some lame-ass excuse that I put more effort into this gym than I did into himâŚâ
âFuck that,â he shook his head. âHis lame ass shouldâve been proud of what you built. I know I am.â
You smiled softly at him, heart racing. âThanks, Cam.â
He nodded back with a smile. âIâm not with Kat anymore either; she said I had more love for the game than her and dumped my ass four months ago via text message.â
You scoffed, shaking your finger, âIf she knew you at all, sheâd know you actually fuckinâ hate football.â
He didnât agree or disagree. The heavy look he gave you said enough. You were one of the few people who saw through his fatherâs bullshit. Still, he wasnât ready to admit the true reason he actually played, and you didnât blame him.
After a few more seconds passed, he asked another question, changing the subject.
âHowâs the gym been treatinâ you?â
âGood. I canât complain, really. I hired a couple of new trainers. They'll be startinâ next week.â
âStill runninâ those free Pilates classes?â
âYup,â you nodded. âEvery Monday and Wednesday. You could show up sometimes instead of cominâ in after hours like a ninja.â
He smiled. âBut then Iâd be missinâ out on all this peace and quiet.â
You rolled your eyes. âMmhmm.â
The heat made everything slower and softer. He leaned back, stretched his legs out, the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was about to say something and decided better of it.
"What?" you asked.
"Nothing. Just... crazy seeing you again after all this time."
"You've been cominâ to my gym for months now."
"Yeah, but every now and then it still feels like weâre twelve, arguinâ over whose turn it was to feed that pregnant stray cat."
That got a delightful laugh out of you, bright, sudden, filling the shared space. You shifted to stretch your calf, and that's when he saw it.
"Ayo, hold up." He frowned. "What is that ink on your ankle?"
"What?" You grumbled, trying to hide it.
"That little shapeâdon't tell me thatâsâ" He leaned forward more, squinting through the steam. When you didn't say anything, he stood, crossing the short distance between the two benches. His hand found your shin before you thought to stop him, and he lifted it with ease, causing your towel to loosen up.
"No way." He breathed, pushing the towel at your ankle gently aside. "Is that... peanut butter?"
You winced, a little embarrassed. "I kept my promise."
A little over a decade ago, you both were preteens, promising each other that as soon as you turned eighteen, youâd get matching PB&J tattoos. Heâd get the jelly half, and youâd get the peanut butter.
"You actually did it?"
"Five years ago."
He shook his head, a grin breaking through the disbelief. "You got the peanut butter and never told me."
"We lost touch after eighth grade..."
"Yeah, I know, butâdamn, that was our thing. PB & J forever."
"I just assumed you forgot."
"Forgot?" He said, still holding your ankle like it was evidence, his thumb rubbing absent-mindedly in the beads of sweat. "I've been carryin' the sketch for the jelly part in my wallet since high school."
That admission sat between you two in the heatâsweat, steam, and a hundred unsaid memories wrapped around the two of you.
He finally looked up at you, eyes soft, wondering. "Guess we were always meant to finish what we started, huh?"
You smiled, heart tripping over itself. It was right at that moment when the air turned from nostalgia to something that felt heavier. The heater hissed, filling the quiet. Almost as if it was warning you of what was to come.
"Umm...you can let go of my leg now, Cam."
He raised an eyebrow and tightened his grip around your ankle. "What if I don't want to let go?"
You inhaled sharply, and your stomach jerked as if you were on an 80 foot rollercoaster drop. "Camââ
"âAnd you don't want me to let go either."
You didnât even have time to fix your lips to lie before he moved. With an athletic quickness, he snatched your towel and removed his own before he plopped back down on the bench, pulling you into his lap.
You could feel his erection through his briefs as you straddled him, your anxious hands resting on his pecs.
He looked up at you, sporting that small grin you couldn't resist, his palms now resting on your thighs. "Feel what you do to me?"
You failed to suppress your whimper. "Cameron, I think we should talk first before weâ"
"We can talk later,â he dismissed calmly. âI'm ready for us both to finally find out how good I can stretch that pussy."
That last sentence was more than enough to ruin your restraint. You leaned down, crushing your lips to his in a long-awaited kiss. He cupped your face, deepening the kiss, while his free hand slid up to your waist, pulling you down against him into a slow grinding motion.
Youâd imagined how your first kiss would be too many times to count. Still, your imagination didnât have shit on reality.
You moaned softly as his tongue slipped past your lips, curling against yours. He grunted softly as you ground down harder, bikini bottoms no longer damp from just the steam and sweat.
He broke the kiss and leaned back, gaze never leaving yours as he freed himself. Your eyes flickered down, teeth sinking into your bottom lip as you watched him stroke himself lazily.
âHmm,â you hummed curiously. âI always wondered why you stopped wearinâ the jersey with the number eight. Got tired of advertisinâ what you was packinâ in them football pants, huh?â
He chuckled softly. âShut yo ass up, Y/N.â
You giggled softly as you smacked his hand away, gripping the base of his dick and squeezing as you stroked up and down his length.
âShit,â he cursed under his breath.
His hand slithered between your thighs, long fingers finding your clit with ease. His thumb circled your clit slowly through your bathing suit, and your eyes fluttered closed, grip tightening as you stroked him faster.
âUh-uh,â he admonished. âLet me see those pretty eyes.â
You opened them as soon as the command fell from his lips, brown eyes locking onto his again. He didnât have to say a word. His eyes were loud enough. Warm hazel with teeny flecks of green that caught the light just right, like a secret only you were meant to unfold.
He free hand pulled your bottoms to the side as his thumb continued to make circles against your clit. His middle finger swiped up your slit, coating the digit before he slipped it inside you.
You gasped, âCameronââ jacked movements paused at the base of his length for a second or two as he inserted a second finger without warning.
âMmhmm,â he smirked, curling his fingers to a deliberate angle before he set a skilled pace, hard and deep. âI gotta stretch you a little bit more, baby.â
You didnât even bother responding. You just nodded and moaned louder.
âYou got a condom?â He asked.
You bit the inside of your cheek, but your sarcastic response escaped anyway. âOh sure! I always bring a magnum into the sauna!â
He shook his head, smiling fondly up at you. âI walked right into that one, huh?â
âJust donât come inside me, and we should be good.â Your laugh trailed off into a high-pitched moan as he fingered you faster, adding pressure to the circles on your clit.
That tight coil in your belly started to unravel. Your hand movements slowed as you tried to warn him. âCamâshitâwait a sec, baby. Iâm gonnaââ
âIâm not stoppinâ until you come on my fingers,â he said. âGive it to me.â
He curled his fingers just a little more, the wet squelching sounds of his fingers stretching you filled the sauna, and before you knew it you were coming. A small shout escaped your throat as he continued fingering you through your orgasm.
Eventually he slowed, fingers slipping out of you when you let out an overstimulated whimper. His gaze stayed locked onto you as he brought his fingers pushed into his mouth, sucking your wetness clean off, moaning loud as if it were the best thing that ever happened to his taste buds.Â
You took two more deep breaths before asking as you pulled at the knot tied on the side of your bikini bottoms. âYou want to put it in, or should I?â
âUh-uh,â he smacked your hand away. âI want to do the honors.â
You couldnât help but snort. He was just so damn goofy. Genuinely, one of your favorite things about him.
With a flick of his wrist, your bottoms were off and tossed to the floor. You lifted your hips slightly so he could push his underwear down past his knees, kicking them to the side once they fell to his ankles. You raised your arms and pulled your top off, hands coming back down to rest on his chest as he lined the tip of his dick with your entrance.
He pushed inside, and you inhaled sharply. You had to take a deep breath, reminding yourself to relax.
He grunted, one hand moving to your waist as the other helped push past your tight folds. âGoddamn, baby. Relax,â he groaned deeply. âStop pushinâ a nigga out.â
âStop splittinâ me open!â You retorted as you sank down further, ass seated against his thighs. âBig dick havinâ ass nigga,â you mumbled lowly.
âWhat was that?â He raised an eyebrow.
You shrugged, âI ainât even say nothing.â
You rocked slowly until you opened up more, completely adjusting. You began to bounce, and he threw his head back. âIâmma tell you now. You got about ten minutes before I come. That pussy tight as fuck.â
You giggled. âIâm cool with that cause my knees got about eight minutes left before they give out.â
He chuckled loudly, cupping the back of your head and pulling you down into a kiss.
Your head felt light from the heat and exertion, but you werenât going to let that stop you. You bounced harder even though you knew your knees were going to curse you; smooth the fuck out in the morning.
Oh, well.
You leaned back up, eyes fluttering closed as you tilted your head back. His large hands cupped your breasts, fingers teasing at your dark nipples.
âGoddamn,â he groaned. âYou know how many times I imagined this?â
âI doubt as many times as me.â
âSo pretty bouncinâ on this dick.â He praised, one hand dropping from your breast and sliding down your stomach to your wet pussy. He circled your clit hard and fast. âGive me another one.â
You whimpered as you felt another orgasm approaching, your body tingling all over. âPlease donât stop.â
âCome for me again.â he inhaled sharply as he felt your walls squeeze his dick even tighter.
Your second climax surged through you like a lightning strike. You yelped, coming harder than the first time.
âI canât take it anymore.â He said as he gripped both sides of your hips, thrusting up into you like a madman as he chased his release.
âFuuuck! Camââ your breathy moans broke off into a choked sob, fingernails digging into his shoulders.
âYou feel so fuckinâ good,â he praised. âShit, shit, shit. Iâm âbout to come. Where you want it?â
âCâcome on my faâface!â you managed to get out in between harsh pants. He let out a noise that sounded like a growl and whimper as he pounded into you a few more times before pulling out.
âOn your knees.â
You hopped off him, dropping to the floor, sticking your tongue out as he stood above you, jacking his dick once, twice, before coming all over your face with loud curses and groans.
The warm come painted your cheeks, and a few drops landed on your tongue, so you swallowed, surprised that he didnât taste as salty as you imagined. That high-protein diet he was on had you worried for a moment.
His dick was still hard as he stood there, panting harshly while he looked down at your come-covered face as if you hung the moon.
âHow in the fuck are you still hard after that?â You asked, fingers scooping some of the come off your cheek and licking it.
He laughed breathlessly. âI knew youâd match my freak.â
You blinked at him, still licking your fingers.
âFuuuck. I can come againâjust really fast,â he grunted softly as he began to stroke himself again. âWhere do you want it this time, baby?â
âOn my tits.â You smirked.
You counted each stroke. Once he got to eleven, he gasped sharply, reopes of white coating your nipples as he spilled all over your chest. Not as much as the first time, but enough to make you a mess.
He dropped to his knees, crawling closer to you, analyzing all the evidence he left on you. He cupped your face, rubbing his come into your chin.
You laughed, âIf you fuck up my skincare, I will sue yo ass into a new millennium.â
He threw his head back and laughed loud as hell.
Eventually he stood up, pulling you with him. âLetâs hit the showers.â
âGive me a sec. My legs clocked out five minutes ago.â
He scooped you up, carrying you out of the steamy room and down the back hallway to the showers as if you weighed nothing. Your legs were out of commission. It had been over a year since you last had sex, let alone rode a dick. Your legs were sore as if you just finished 100 reps of Bulgarian split squats.
20 minutes later you were both clean, come and sweat-free. You just stood under the spray, hugging each other.
You finally had the courage to say to him what youâd been wanting to for a long time.
âYour father,â you started, voice soft but sure as you looked up into his eyes. âYou need to tell him that football is not where your heart is and it never has been.â
He huffed out a short laugh, looking down at you, his jaw tense now. "Yeah, right. You know he ainât exactly the listenin' type."
âI donât care,â you said, your tone sharpening. âMake him hear you. Itâs time for Cameron Cade to walk in his own shoes.â
That landed. The defensive edge in his posture eased; shoulders relaxed, jaw unclenched.
He closed his eyes for a few seconds and sighed deeply, considering your words. When he opened them, his eyes were glassy with determination. âYou always did talk to me like I was worth a damn,â he acknowledged.
âYou are,â you answered simply. âYou always will be.â
Since Iâll be in the hospital for a while, I figured Iâd post some my drafts for entertainment :)!
Summary: You and a troublesome man you like more than you let onâŚin the end itâs easy.
Contains: smut, a dash of degradation, established enough relationship, fat d!ck Stack because LOOK at him, country accents, rough sâŹx, manhandling, multiple ørgasms, overstimulation, he puts it zowwwwnnnn, gives you some of that âmove yo handâ, mating press dirty talk, petnames, fucking filthy kissing, cuddles, and as per usual- this is for the âđ˝ strictly for the âđ˝
Stack purrs out against the bare leg thatâs currently hiked over his broad shoulder, voice dripping with condescension thatâs a lot sweeter than the way heâs fucking into you.
The question is mean but it has its intended effect.
Goosebumps break over the surface of your flushed skin, choking on a whiny moan, cunt pulsating so tightly around him that he can feel you in his bones. A flurry of hiccuping sobs pour from your mouth cause youâre close. Again. Ordinarily, youâd try to defend your good name since you really were in fact not easyâŚor at least not until youâd met Stack. Youâd heard of him before but never had the pleasure of making his acquaintance until he came strolling through your moms shop one day and found you instead.
At first you were stunned just making eye contact with him. Lidded brown eyes, dimples, plump lips- the gold on his teeth glinting at you and damn he was tall. Strutting up to introduce himself to you, accent thick with charm. However, youâd already heard of him and his way of giving women the roundabout and youâd decided right then and there that youâd be damned 11 ways to Sunday before you ever caught yourself on your back or knees for him.
Unfortunately, he was as relentless as he was gorgeous. Steadily pursuing you with the devil in his eyes and a grin on those full lips. Always hanging around- then, heâd disappear. As indifferent as you tried to be, dancing around his advances with light giggles and playful hands, when heâd vanish, youâd find yourself missing his face- or rather- his way of being, more like. See, Stack had this carefree almost cavalier demeanor but he was firm too. To you, that was his most attractive quality.
And heâd picked up on it. That you liked when he was a little firm with you.
From there all it took was a kiss.
Just barely brushing your lips when he leaned down, whispering teasingly against your lips, finger underneath your chin and you couldnât keep the want from dripping out your eyes if you tried.
âStop playing with me.â
To your surprise but not his- you listened.
Funny how you were so determined not to fall into his gravity and now look at you; sweat out hairstyle, sheer stockings ripped to hell along with your bra and underwear, being manhandled every which way, stretched out and creaming around the fattest cock youâve ever had in your life as you moan in bliss- loving it.
Stackâs thrusts are deliciously brutal, hips snapping into yours while your legs hang over his shoulders like some harlot and sounding just like one, mouth dropped open while you cry and whine real pretty for him. Hissing through his teeth at the sight you make, Stack wedges his hands underneath the arch at the base of your back and grips tight- using your body as leverage to fuck into you even deeper. If the heat of the room wasnât making you delirious then the way the fat head of his was smushing rough kisses into that soft patch of nerves would definitely do the trick. If this is what playing hard to get gets you then youâre seriously considering becoming a professional.
It gets to the point where your pussy is almost as loud as you are, prompting Stack to look down. A loud whistle barely makes it through the fog in your head and you try to bring your vision to focus. Your heart is going at least 100 miles per minute and you squeak as your legs are pushed so far back that your knees are touching your ears, Stack moving directly on top of you. Where the sudden flexibility came from you had no clue- but your awe is almost immediately overtaken by how full the new position has you feeling.
âO-oooh!â
Stack bites his lip as he watches your pretty face melt in pleasure, your normally sleepy eyes pop wide open, brows drawn together like youâre about to cry, lips forming that sexy âoâ as he slows down his strokes- letting you feel every inch of him. You were so gorgeous. Naked curves and soft skin crashing and rolling back into him then wrapping around even though you initially wanted damn near nothing to do with him. The thought makes him smirk in satisfaction until heâs brought out of his thoughts by the feel of your trembling hand just above where your bodies are connected. He pulls out halfway nice n slow, looking down to see what the fuss is and his heart almost pounds out of his chest.
Slathered all over his dick, is milky white. It streams out generously from your hole around where heâs stuffed in and Stack feels himself start to lose his mind a little bit as he moans out,
âYeahhh mamas, sheâs real easy fâmeâŚâ
He doesnât take his eyes off your cunt as he slams back in with a wet âplapâ- throwing his head back with a deep groan. The sound is so primal it sends nasty shivers up your spine but you donât move your hand and heâs folding you even deeper, lowering his upper body almost completely against yours, pelvis grinding against your clit and you gasp wetly. Stack is wild, sucking bruising kisses into your neck, tongue trailing hotly up to your mouth to claim it in a deep kiss. Itâs consuming. His big tongue flattening against yours in maddening swipes, sucking the muscle sloppily into his own mouth making you lightheaded- blood rushing through your ears as he starts his hips up again, grinding away at that spot inside you but not quite as deep and he pulls away.
He watches you gasp desperately, moving not even an inch away from your face as he nips at your bottom lip, soothing the sting with his tongue before whispering inside your mouth- eyes glazed,
âMove that hand, baby.â
Your name might as well be Sunday morning cause thatâs exactly how easy you are, body obeying him before you even tell it to. As soon as you do, he doesnât waste a second, big hands hook underneath your knees- railing you stupid. Heâs not even trying to think straight, caught up in in not just the heat but how tight- how creamy- you are. Letting out a string of swears, he captures your mouth in another overwhelming kiss, cock aching while he swallows your wails as you twitch and shake around him.
You canât take anymore. Stack gives another harsh, slick roll of his pelvis into your swollen nub while battering that tender spot inside you and youâre coming. And Jesus Christ on a bike- youâre coming hard. Clawing at Stackâs beefy muscles, a swarm of stars completely eclipse your vision while youâre shocked with wave after wave of vicious pleasure. Youâre so loud you struggle recognize your own voice but Stackâs is clear as the ecstasy pumping through your body. Filthy words of praise and encouragement directly in your ear, prolonging your orgasm.
âThaaatâs it, dollface.. aalll over meâŚâ
Tears spill from your eyes and youâre close to tapping out when Stack buries his head into your chest, taking one of your puffy nipples into his mouth, thrusts slowing as he shoots deep inside your heat with a muffled groan, stuffing your hole to the brim until he pops off your tit with a satisfied sigh.
Youâre tired, your back is killing you, and your shaking like a baby deer but a grin makes its way onto your lips regardless as Stack kisses all over you, pulling out slowly, warm eyes checking over your form for any sign of discomfort while you bask in the coziness after, closing your eyes to enjoy a much needed break until he interrupts it. Kissing your cheek in that tender way he does when heâs fixing to look after you.
âYou okay? Ainât hurtinâ none?â
You shake you head, eyes closed even as he pats you dry gently with his shirt, tossing on the floor when heâs done. Less sweaty, itâs easier for you to nap but something was missing. Reaching up, your hand swipes though the air as you blindly reach for him, eventually catching his chain as you yank him down next to you with a soft pleased little hum. Yes, youâd sleep just fine now.
And when you wake up?
Youâre face to face with a big rock on your finger.
Stay tuned for take 2, 3, 4 and more yallđ¤ đŤśđ˝!!!
D.W đ explicit sexual content, prone bone position, rough sex, dirty talk, dominance
You can barely breathe.
Not because Dean's hand is pressed between your shoulder bladesâthough it is, firm and possessive, keeping you pinned to the mattressâbut because of the angle. The depth. The way he's got you completely trapped beneath him, his weight pressing you down into the bed while he drives into you from behind.
"Fuck, sweetheart," Dean groans above you, his voice rough and strained. "You feel that? Feel how deep I am?"
You can't answer. Can't do anything but whimper into the pillow, your fingers clutching at the sheets as he pulls out slowly and then pushes back in, the angle making you see stars.
"Asked you a question," he says, and there's that edge of command in his voice that makes your whole body clench around him.
"Yes," you gasp out. "God, yes, Deanâ"
"That's my girl."
His hips roll forward again, and the pressure is overwhelming. With your legs stretched out flat beneath him and his body covering yours completely, there's nowhere to go, no way to escape the relentless pleasure. Every thrust hits deeper than you thought possible, and you're so full you can barely think.
Dean's hand slides from your back to your hip, gripping hard enough to leave marks. His other hand tangles in your hair, not pulling, just holding, keeping you exactly where he wants you.
"Love having you like this," he murmurs, his lips brushing your ear. "Completely at my mercy. Can't move, can't do anything but take it."
A broken moan escapes you because he's right. You're utterly helpless beneath him, pinned by his weight and his strength, and it's the hottest thing you've ever experienced.
"Dean, pleaseâ"
"Please what, baby?" He punctuates the question with a particularly deep thrust that has you crying out. "You want more? Want it harder?"
"Yes, fuck, yesâ"
He doesn't make you ask twice.
The pace changes, becomes rougher, more demanding. The sound of skin against skin fills the room along with your desperate whimpers and Dean's low groans. His weight presses you deeper into the mattress with every thrust, and the friction, the pressure, the impossible depthâit's too much and not enough all at once.
"So fucking perfect," Dean growls. "Taking me so well, sweetheart. Look at you, pinned down and loving every second of it."
Your response is incoherent, just a string of broken pleas and his name, over and over.
Dean's hand releases your hair to slide beneath you, finding where you're most sensitive, and the added stimulation makes you sob into the pillow.
"That's it," he encourages, his fingers moving in tight circles while he continues to drive into you. "Come on, baby. Want to feel you come like this. Want to feel you fall apart while I've got you pinned down and helpless."
The combination of his words, his touch, and the relentless pressure of him inside you is devastating. Your orgasm builds fast and hits harder, crashing through you in waves that have you shaking beneath him, crying out his name.
"Fuck, yes," Dean groans, his rhythm faltering as you clench around him. "That's my girl. So fucking goodâ"
He follows you over the edge moments later, his weight pressing you completely flat as he buries himself as deep as possible, his own release shuddering through him.
For a long moment, neither of you moves. You're both breathing hard, Dean's forehead resting against your shoulder, his body still covering yours completely.
"Jesus," he finally mutters, pressing a kiss to your neck. "You okay, sweetheart?"
You manage a breathless laugh. "More than okay."
"Good." Another kiss, this one to your jaw. "'Cause we're definitely doing that again."
You don't argue.
When he finally shifts his weight off you, rolling to the side and pulling you with him, you're boneless and satisfied. Dean tucks you against his chest, his hand running soothingly up and down your spine.
"You're incredible, you know that?" he murmurs into your hair.
You smile against his skin, still catching your breath, still feeling the pleasant ache of him everywhere.

âSo fuckinâ tight,â Dean Winchester breathes into your ear as he laces his hand around the front of your body and lets his palm rest at the base of your throat. He squeezes his hand, pulsating his fingers on your skin until he hears you sputtering beneath him. Your hole tightens every time Dean wraps his hand around your throat, the control he has over you erotic and all consuming. As soon as Dean lets go of your neck, he presses his hand into your hips, steadying you as he plows you from the back, his pace quick and calculated.
âDad-!â You canât even finish the word âdaddyâ as he rams into you, the tip of his cock pressing against the sweet spongy spot that makes your back curl and eyes roll. You want to tell him to slow down, that youâre not going to last if he keeps fucking you like this, but the words are caught in your throat, and each time his cock kisses your g-spot, you feel like you canât breathe.
âDad?â Dean mocks, though, that word rolling from your tongue made his stomach tighten, and caught him off guard just enough to stutter the pace. âThat gets you off, huh, baby? Calling me dad, knowing Iâm way too old for you?â
The way your walls clench around his cock is proof that you get off on hisâ what Dean would callâ âdilf status.â Your body goes limp beneath him, the rush of liquid shooting out of you as he finds that beautiful rhythm once more. Even though you canât see Deanâs face, you hear the smile in his voice, âatta girl. Makinâ a mess. Thatâs okay, Iâll fix you up, princess.â

âHey,â Sam threads his fingers into your hand, slowing your pace as you bob your head up and down on his cock. Heâs too big, too girthy, the size of his cock is intimidating, and Sam isnât very smug about it, but heâs wary about actual intercourse until you get used to his size. âSlow down, honey. Youâre taking too much.â
âMmm,â you mumble, acknowledging his words, but the feeling of his tip rocking against the back of your throat is too nice and you want to deep throat him. You know how he feels about it, training you to take his length obediently, but every time the tip angles itself into your gag reflex and you gag around his cock, youâre sure you could cum from just the feeling of losing control of yourself. Without hesitation, you do it again. Your nose caresses Samâs pubes as you pull his length into your mouth as far as you possibly can. The sputtering if different this time, and spit gets caught in between your throat and Samâs tip. You cough, choking just enough that youâre gasping for air, and Sam frantically grips your head so you canât take him any further.
âListen to your old man,â Sam scolds, pulling you off his cock by jamming his fingers into your cheek and pressing the tissue against you molars. You whine in discomfort, and Sam takes this as an opportunity to slip his length out of your mouth. You marvel at itâ wet, the tip and perfect pink color, and suddenly you want to cry at the fact that Sam took his cock away from you. He notices the frustration in your face, and places his hand around your chin, moving you closer to him by your jaw. He pecks your lips and as you climb against his lap, hoping heâll offer more. The feeling his hardened dick underneath you is torture.
âOh,â you whine, your core tightening around nothing, but desperately wishing Samâs length was tucked deep inside you. âI want itâŚâ you say sheepishly, referring to his cock.

âthree, two, one⌠run.â the lights went out, leaving only the dim red emergency lighting and samâs low voice bouncing off the bunker walls.
you ran, like your life depended on it.
the rules were simple â you hide, they seek.
but once they do find you, they get to do whatever they please with you. you werenât going to make it easy for them, just like they asked. and they definitely werenât going to be soft on you.
this was a thrilling game that had only one ending, you getting your holes stuffed with the winchesters.
oh and letâs not forget the fact that both sam and dean have a knife at their disposal while wearing a ghostface mask and cloak during this twisted little game of hide and seek.
you managed to find a decently good hiding spot before they finished counting. under your bed â classic yet painful obvious.
you were honestly hoping that they werenât gonna start with the obvious hiding spots, you know, the whole reverse psychology thing.
you laid flat on your stomach under your bed, hand over your mouth so that your breathing wasnât the thing that gave you away, although you fear that wasnât whatâs the give away, your heart rang in your ears, feeling like it was away to jump out your chest.
was it because of running? sure. but fear and arousal had a play in it too.
âcome out come out wherever you areâ you heard samâs taunting voice echo through the hallway, he was close. of course he was, you wouldnât be surprised if he cheated.
the question now is, did they split up or team up? guess itâs for you to find out.
your bedroom door swung open with a big thud as samâs biker boots kicked it open, you let out an involuntary gasp from the sudden scare.
unluckily for you â sammy heard. a smirk grew behind his mask.
you heard his footsteps, heavy and deliberately slow, making your heart beat increase even more. you seriously thought it was that loud that everyone could hear it.
the knife he was holding, scrapped against the concrete wall of your room, making you aware of itâs presence.
you watched as the pair of boots stepped closer to the bed, you knew you were fucked, but still, you had the fight in you.
like sam and dean wanted, donât make it easy for them to catch you.
and you werenât planning on it.
the big black boots stopped at the foot of the bed, a sudden silence falling in the room. you covered your mouth to mute yourself, but sam could already smell the strong feminine perfume that gave you away.
âthought we all agreed to make this game interesting, but youâre just making it too damn easy for usâ sam chuckled in a sinister way before you suddenly felt both your ankles being grabbed by big strong hands, then got pulled out from under the bed, you couldnât help but let out a scream trying to grab onto the bed leg but sam was too fast.
you thrashed around before turning onto your back to face him, the ghostface mask looking much more scarier in the dull red light than you expected.
your instincts kicked in and so did your legs, landing a couple of shots to his abdomen, which made sam stumble back into your desk, pens and papers falling to the floor, you gave yourself just enough time to get up and bolt out the door.
as you ran through one of the long hallways of the bunker, you noticed just how loud of a noise your shoes were making, which gave you a disadvantage.
so you stopped for a second, throwing them off your feet, along with your socks, leaving you completely barefoot. the cold concrete floor waking up a new sensation in you.
you heard samâs heavy footsteps getting closer, very quickly. he was running, which meant you had a better chance at hiding than outrunning him. without much thought you started running the opposite direction from where your room was.
as you were away to turn left on the corner, you bumped into deanâs tall and broad figure, ghostface mask, black cloak and a knife in his hand. itâs shouldnât be turning you on, but by god it did.
it didnât take even a second for him to grab a hold of you, his deep chuckle vibrating against your back.
âcome on now little one. we donât wanna hurt youâ dean cooed into your ear.
you squirmed around in his tight grasp, grunting softly when he tightened his grip. your brain told you to bite â so you did.
after all you werenât supposed to make it easy for them, remember?
you sank your teeth into his arm, which made him drop his knife and shout in pain. âauh you bitch!â dean growled, his grip loosening for a split second which you used to your advantage.
slipping yourself loose and sprinting down the hallway as he was too occupied cussing under his breath.
sam caught up to dean, âwhat happened?â
âthe little brat bit meâ dean massaged his arm.
sam chuckled out. âclever little minxâ
âshut up and get herâ dean barked, then both the predators started chasing you, the prey, down the hallway.
your footsteps were much quieter now without shoes but sadly it didnât help with running any faster. you could feel them both catching up to you and you panicked.
running into the kitchen which didnât exactly have any good hiding spots, only an entrance and an exit door.
you were out of breath, your heart felt like it was away to stop any minute and to your misfortune, sam stood at the entrance door and dean blocked the exit door.
leaving you completely cornered, like a little bunny thatâs hunted by big hungry wolves. both of them wearing masks that covered their faces, but you could feel their smirks radiating from beneath.
âgive it up sweetheart, youâre cornered. you have nowhere to run-â sam spoke, satisfaction in his low voice.
â-nowhere to hide.â dean added.
your legs went weak, cotton like.
you leaned against the sink, trying to keep them both at the same distance. your brain was going through all the possibilities of running away, fighting even.
you looked around to notice a clean pan that was on the drying rack, you had a lightbulb moment.
you grabbed the pan and planned on using it against them as a weapon, will it work? you didnât know, but you had to try.
âand what are you gonna do with that? fry some eggs?â dean mocked, stepping closer to you, with that slow predatory step.
sam followed his older brotherâs actions, doing the same.
you felt as if like the walls were closing in on you, your eyes jumping from one winchester to another. âget back!â you warned, swinging the pan back and forth.
fortunately for you, you landed a good hit on sam. the pan making a massive bang sound. sam let out a groan and curled up a bit, holding his abdomen. âiâve had it up to here with you, you little-!â
you threw the pan at dean and took the gamble, pushing past samâs broad body, aiming for the entrance door that he was blocking literally a second ago.
ânot so fast, little mouseâ dean growled from behind you, gripping you by your hair and pulling you back.
you let out a yelp, falling onto your ass. ân-no!!â your body tried to fight him, tried to crawl away but the grip on your hair was harsh, his fingers deep in your curls, he wasnât afraid to yank them.
dean chuckled lowly, waiting for sam to straighten out and join his side, while you were struggling like a mouse caught in a glue trap.
dean gave sam a quick head tilt, a silent signal to follow him.
dean walked out the kitchen first, his fingers never leaving your hair, he dragged you by your hair, manhandling you like a goddamn savage.
you let out soft whines, trying to hold onto his wrist so it wouldnât hurt so much. sam followed behind, keeping an eye on you, giving you unlikely chances of getting away now.
the three of you eventually reached your bedroom door, but once the three of you stepped afoot inside, you were fucked.
literally and figuratively.
âitâs game over sweetheart, no more runningâ dean explained.
âor you will have extra consequencesâ sam added.
and with that, dean dragged you inside and sam locked the door behind.
you were locked in one room with these two scary and heartless hunters. with sam having no soul and dean being a demon, their level of empathy was basically the same â which was zero. nil. nada. absolutely none whatsoever.
you crawled backwards as both of them stood above you, your back hitting the foot of the bed. you breathing uneven, you did not know what to expect from them now, and that made you feel very uneasy.
both sam and dean looked down at you with their masks still on, knives still in their hands. you didnât know whether to get wet or pee yourself right there on the spot.
âwhat do you think we should do with her first sammy?â dean asked his younger brother.
sam chuckled at the idea that popped into his head, âi think her face needs a bit of color, donât you? thinking.. whiteâ dean smirked at his brothers answer, you on the other hand did not understand the cryptic tone.
âthatâs a perfect idea, little brotherâ dean commented, already starting to unbuckle his belt.
your puppy eyes went wide in shock, seeing both of them unbuckling their leather belts. something deep inside you was screaming, butterflies erupting in your tummy.
the sound of the metal clinking was enough to make you wet.
âon your kneesâ sam ordered, but you were heavily hesitating. a little scared even.
âhe said, on your knees. slutâ dean barked as he noticed you not listening to his brother.
you werenât going to lie, his tone made you jump, lowkey afraid. you got on your knees, not wanting them to get mad or anything, punishment from them would be diabolical, to say the least.
âthere we go, that wasnât so hard to do now was it? or is our little cum guzzler simply deaf?â dean cooed, taking out his already hard cock out his black cargo pants and pumping himself a couple times in front of your face, a juicy vein decorating his shaft.
you looked samâs way, noticing him pulling out his cock too, his cock longer but not as thick as his brotherâs.
both equally pretty and yummy looking though.
âfrom what i recall youâre a big fan of double cream and all that, so letâs see how well you can handle this typeâ sam spoke cockily, stroking himself off in front of your face.
both men stood inches away from you, you knelt in front of them, your face at their crotch level so you got to see all the details. from their flushed tips and the pulsing veins to their pearly precum dripping down their piss slits.
you felt nothing short of a whore, a sex toy of theirs to play with as they wish. it felt demeaning, embarrassing, degrading, humiliating â but at the same time you could not help but get turned on by watching those two huge guys jerking off in front of you like that.
both sam and deanâs breathing got heavier, your eyes blown out as you switched your stare from one cock to another, and all you could do is just kneel there on your knees with puppy eyes.
âopen your mouthâ dean hissed through gritted teeth.
your eyes looked up at him, that ghostface mask staring back at you. you didnât dare to disobey dean, his short temper scared you and you wouldnât want him to throat fuck you just to prove a point, so you opened your mouth nice and wide.
and just like that he stuck the tip of his cock in your mouth, âsuck.â he ordered, leaving no space for âbutâs.
you flicked your tongue over his tip before taking more of him in your mouth, humming a soft moan that sent vibrations down his spine.
you looked up at him, with your mouth full of his cock, dean couldnât stop himself from chuckling at the sultry view in front of him.
his hand went into your hair, guiding your head up and down his cock before forcefully pulling you away, your mouth making a pop sound, a string of saliva joining at the corner of your mouth and his cock.
you looked at him with lustful puppy eyes, slightly embarrassed at how much this was turning you on.
sam tapped your cheek with his cock, âmy turn, open up.â
your gaze shifted to the younger winchester, opening your mouth to let his cock slide into your mouth. âso fuckin eagerâ he chuckled lowly.
meanwhile dean continued jerking himself off watching his brother make you take his inches. âi know right? told you sheâs a cumslutâ dean grunted, feeling himself getting closer, but his hand kept a steady pace.
samâs hand held the back of your head, pushing your head down making you gag on his cock, tears welled up in your eyes and drool dripped down your chin.
âshe may be a cumslut but she definitely gags like a fucking beginnerâ sam laughed, mockery in his voice as his hips moved forwards, you tried to breathe through your nose but couldnât help letting out a choked whimper.
sam suddenly pulled out, feeling himself on the edge.
both the brothers pumped themselves quicker, their cocks practically touching your face.
âtongue out.â dean ordered, you could hear both of them softly panting under their masks.
you stuck your tongue out, your eyes dark and blown out, darting from one cock to the other, ready to taste them.
one after another, their cocks shot out hot sticky semen, covering your pretty little face. sam and dean pumped themselves dry onto your face, admiring the filthy view in front of them â your lips, tongue, cheeks and even your forehead covered with their dna.
you managed to lick the cum off your lips before the rest dripped down your face and neck.
âbet that was better than those oreos you eatâ dean chuckled, his cock still hard in his hand.
so was samâs.
of course this wasnât the end of it â you would be stupid to think that.
both of them took their masks off, having enough of wearing it. both their hair messy in their own unique ways. dean pushed a hand through his hair.
âaww look at those tear stains, such a poor little thing~ drooling, covered in cumâ sam gently petted your head, smiling softly with his signature puppy stare.
you were gullible enough to believe he was gonna be gentle now, but to your surprise he grabbed you by your hair and lifted you up like you were just a toy.
âup up up.â his voice filled with faux friendliness, you had no choice but to get up from your knees with the way he was pulling on your hair.
âon the bed, all fours. we are not finished with you yetâ sam commanded, basically throwing you onto your own bed, and standing in front of you with his cock still up right, in front of your face.
dean walked over to the back of you, his hands already on your ass, strong fingers tearing your fishnets open at the crotch and ripping your panties with it. you gasped at deanâs strength, or more like that fact he didnât even need to use much of it.
your pussy now fully exposed, glistening and dripping from how aroused you were. dean let out a low wolf whistle, âwell iâll be damned, youâre fuckin dripping wet⌠pathetic little thing is clearly enjoying herselfâ he let out a gravelly chuckle, his thumb sliding up and down your slick slit, making you squirm under his touch.
âso wetâ dean chuckled, amused at just how wet you actually were already.
your mouth agape, a soft moan haunting your lips. your back arched slightly, seeking more of the feeling, but dean pulled away in an instant when he noticed you doing so, i mean what do you expect from a mean fucker like him?
you looked up at sam, your eyes meeting his dark, empathy lacking ones. his stiff cock at your eye level, âopen up.â sam commanded, tapping the tip of his cock on your lips.
dean wasted no time whatsoever and pushed his cock inside you, inch by inch. his thick cock sliding in with ease and stretching you out, making you open your mouth and let out a strangled moan.
sam took that opportunity and shoved his cock half way down your throat, making you choke on him as he without a second thought started thrusting in and out your mouth, holding you by your hair, his grip harsh. âthatâs a girl~â he faux praised, the mocking tone never leaving him.
deanâs big calloused hands gripped your asscheeks and started thrusting his length in and out, in and out. your pussy making squelching sounds every time he pushed his cock deep inside you, filling you up to the brim.
âso full of cock, but i can feel just how much youâre into it you little freak, clenching that pussy tightly around my cock- you canât fool us sweetheartâ dean chuckled, increasing the speed of his hips, pulling out nearly all the way before slamming back in, balls deep, impaling you on both the cocks.
your pussy did indeed clench around him, subliminally wanting to milk him dry, for him to empty himself inside you. âjesus fuckin christ, what a tight little thing you are, gotta start stretching you out more often.â dean grunted in between thrusts.
both the winchesterâs worked on you from both ends, it was almost overwhelming so you let them use you the way they wanted. you let out muffled moans as the two of them sped up their movements, chasing their highs.
a creamy ring formed around the base of deanâs cock, all thanks to you shamefully being into this, into being used and stuffed by them both.
both sam and dean let out grunts and strangled growls as they got close, unconsciously competing with each other to see who gets to fill you up with their seed first.
the way your throat clenched as you gagged continuously on samâs big cock, stimulated his tip. sam threw his head back, letting out a moan as his cock spewed out thick ropes of white.
your mouth flooded with drool and his cum, tears and cum dripping down your face as he pulled out his cock.
âswallow.â sam growled, his fingers still deep in your hair, you wouldnât dare to do other wise, swallowing his seed right in front of him and sticking your tongue out for proof.
âvery good.â his other hand tapped your cheek harshly in a degrading manner.
dean on the other hand was hanging on by a thread, your pussy eagerly swallowing his cock each time he pushed deep inside you, his tip kissing your cervix.
he gave you a couple sudden spanks on the ass before finally giving you his seed, shooting his hot cum deep in your womb.
as he pulled out slowly, his pearly white cum dripped out your hole, down your thighs and onto your bedsheets.
ânow thatâs what i call double-stuffed, ainât that right sammy?â dean laughed, collecting some of his cum onto his finger and pushing it back inside you, making you cry out a moan.
âjust how she likes it.â sam added, smirking down at you, brushing his thumb against your plump bottom lip.
for a long second, the three of you try to catch your breaths.
until sam lifted his head up, looking at his older brother. âswitch?â sam asked casually.
ânow thatâs what iâm talkin âboutâ dean chuckled, rubbing his hands together before getting off the bed and switching sides with sam.
this was going to be a very long and messy night.
but a deal is a deal â you fought well during the twisted kids game of hide and seek, but in the end you lost.
and losers take their punishment like champs.
thank you so much for reading it literally means the world to me! believe it or not, this piece of writing took me a couple months to finalise so i am so happy yall can finally see it, i am defo proud of this baby!
jealousy, jealousy -- Ex!Hotch x Fem!Reader x Gibbs (Kinktober 2025)
Look at me. There was no world in which this was going to be a short fic. Yes there is a bit of build up but it is worth it. This is so self-indulgent it's insane!! NCIS and BAU headquarters both being in/near Quantico sent my head spinning and this was the result. You're welcome đ
Warnings: 18+ only mdni!!, threesome, oral (m + f receiving), thigh riding, fingering, unprotected p in v (wrap it irl!!! do not be like them!!!), manhandling, facefucking, double penetration, jealous!gibbs and jealous!hotch, i'm prob forgetting some
Summary: You and Hotch used to date when you worked at the BAU. You broke things off before you transferred to NCIS, but remained on good terms. What happens when your ex (and former boss) is called in to consult on a case, and your new boss realizes he has feelings for you? Can you choose between the two? Do you have to?
WC: ...9.8k don't look at me
It starts with the ding of the NCIS elevator.
Gibbs turns his head toward the sound because he isnât exactly expecting anyone. Thereâs four -- yes, four -- dead Marines in the past two days, so the bullpen has been void of any witty banter and for once all of you, including DiNozzo, have had your heads down working hard to find any leads. So much so that itâs only you and Gibbs at your desks right now. McGee is helping Abby in the lab, and DiNozzo is chasing up a lead with Ziva.
Then, a gasp. From your lips. Gibbs doesnât realize that itâs coming from you until youâre standing up and rounding your desk, a smirk on your lips as your arms cross over your chest.
âWell, well, well,â you shake your head, and the playful nature of it all has Gibbsâ head spinning.Â
Youâre never like that with him. With Abby, all the time. With Ziva, occasionally. With DiNozzo and McGee, most of the time. But never Gibbs. And now this stranger has you biting back a grin?
Gibbs doesnât know who the man is, but he hates him.
The tall man in question -- who definitely has at least an inch on Gibbs, not that heâll admit it out loud -- smiles and extends his hand toward you, saying your name with a smile just as fond as your eyes. âHowâve you been?â
âGreatâ comes your reply, and you forgo shaking his hand to pull him into a hug instead. âHowâve you been, Aaron?â
Aaron. So thatâs his name. Gibbs hates it. Itâs a stupid name. It has nothing to do with how light your voice sounds when you say it, or the way your arms wrap around him so tight. Like heâs a lifeline of yours.
âGood, you know how it is,â Aaron replies easily. âI wondered if Iâd still find you here.â
âAnd here I thought youâd be keeping tabs on me,â you joke, âsince you were oh-so reluctant to let me go.â
The man rolls his eyes at you and Gibbs balks. The one time he did that, you glared at him for a week straight.Â
âNCIS is very lucky to have you.â
You laugh loudly at that, punching Aaronâs shoulder good naturedly. âYou could at least try to sound sincere!â You pause, glancing to the side and catching Gibbsâs eyes.
âWanna introduce us?â The question flies from Gibbsâs lips before he can help it, and sounds a lot more condescending than he means it to. âOr am I interrupting?â He definitely didnât need to add that, but Aaron has an FBI badge that Gibbs has just noticed, and now he wants to know why the hell the FBI is in this building without his permission.
âMy apologies,â Aaron says, stepping over and extending his hand to Gibbs. âIâm Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner. Agent Fornell said he would meet me here.â
Gibbs shakes Hotchnerâs hand, nodding once. âIâm Agent Gibbs,â he says. âShouldâve known Tobias was behind this.â
âIâm always by your side, Gibbs,â Fornell calls from the elevator. âSorry Iâm late.â
âI wanna know why youâre here at all, Tobias,â Gibbs deadpans. âWeâre busy, in case you hadnât noticed.â
âFour dead Marines in forty-eight hours,â you fill in quietly for Hotch.
âI know,â Aaron replies, though not rudely. âThatâs why Iâm here.â
âWhat?â Gibbs snaps, exasperated as he gives Tobias his best what the fuck is wrong with you look.
âHeâs from the Behavioral Analysis Unit, Jethro,â Fornell lets out a laugh. âYou need his help.â
Like hell I do, Gibbs wants to say, but instead he nods toward the elevator. âA word.â
Fornell gives Gibbs a look before turning, leading the way. Gibbs stalks past you and your new best friend, trying not to look Hotchner up and down with threatening intent.
Once inside the elevator, he waits a few seconds after the doors close before flipping the emergency switch.Â
Fornell chuckles. Heâs actually laughing.
Gibbs doesnât even look at him. âSomething funny, Tobias?â
âYouâve got it bad, my friend.â
âWhat?â Gibbs swings his head toward Fornell, eyes narrowed.
âDonât what me,â Tobias warns. âWe married the same woman, Jethro! You think I canât tell when the love bug has crawled up your ass?â
Suddenly, Gibbs doesnât want to discuss any of this at all. He flips the switch.
Tobias flips it back. âOh no, we are talking about this,â he stands in front of it. âYouâve got it so bad that she smiles at an old coworker and youâre so pissed off you have to come yell at me in the elevator?â
âCoworker?â Gibbs asks. He knew you used to work for the FBI, but that was about as far as he got in your personnel file. He didnât care where you used to be; he cared how you were here, as an NCIS agent.Â
âYeah,â Fornell shakes his head. âBest damn agent the FBI has seen in a long time. You wouldnât believe the hoops we tried to jump through to keep her. But she was insistent on leaving.â
Gibbs frowns. That doesnât make much sense to him, but he supposes it wonât, since the two of you hardly ever talk about anything personal. Heâs always thought thatâs why he could tolerate you the most out of everyone; you never ask anything personal. You keep to yourself and keep focused on the case at hand.
âAnd Hotch in there,â Fornell nods back toward the bullpen. âThe phone calls we got, he was trying so hard to keep her in the BAU, or in another department, but to keep her in the FBI. But again, she wanted to be somewhere new.â
âAnd she chose NCIS?â Gibbs asks. Youâve been here a little over a year now and he still hasnât wrapped his head around it.
âListen, we were just as shocked as you when she accepted the offer from Vance,â Fornell says, shaking his head. âAnyway. Why donât we focus on the dead Marines youâve got?â
âWhy the hell did you send him here?â Gibbs counters, still unhappy. âIf you know theyâve got history.â
Fornell raises an accusatory eyebrow. âNever said they have history. I just said they used to work together.â
âSame difference.â
âYou need to pull yourself together, Jethro,â Tobias laughs. âSeriously, when was the last time you were like this?â
Tobias concedes after a moment, sighing heavily. âYouâve got a serial killer on your hands. We both know it. And we need to figure out if heâs targeting Marines, or if itâs just a coincidence.â
âItâs definitely not a coincidence.â
âWell, thatâs what we need to figure out,â Tobias continues. âAnd thatâs what Hotch can help with.â
Gibbs scoffs, glaring at Fornell as he reaches around him to flick the switch again. Tobias lets him.
âYou really should pull yourself together, Gibbs,â Fornell says. âI thought dating a coworker went against one of those rules of yours.â
Gibbs says nothing. He canât say anything. Because the second the elevator doors open again, he hears you laughing.
Fornell doesnât even have time to get through his warning before Gibbs is stalking over, standing just in between the two of you. âWhy are we laughing when we should be working?â
Your reply is immediate and not at all full of any of the joy he just heard. âI wasnât sure if he was cleared or not, boss. Since you ran off with Agent Fornell.â
âHeâs cleared,â Fornell supplies. âAnd Gibbs is happy to accept the help.â
You snort.
âSomething funny?â Gibbs asks, cocking his head at you.Â
âNope,â you shake your head, staring him down just as unflinchingly. âShall we get Hotch caught up to speed? Or do you want to continue wasting time by invading my personal space?â
Gibbsâs eyes narrow. He glances between your eyes, dares a glance at your lips that are just barely hinting a smirk, before he nods. âLetâs get started.â
+++
Youâve got no idea what is wrong with your boss, but itâs starting to get old.
Itâs been barely a day of having Hotch here and Gibbsâs mood has only gone further and further south.Â
You think solving the case will help, but when he doesnât even show a hint of improvement after the arrest, youâre ready to lose it on him.
Hotch takes the unsub, as he calls them, to the Quantico FBI office, which youâre surprised Gibbs agreed to, but he seems so resigned to it all now.
âLooks like Iâm riding with you,â you quip, yanking on the passenger door. âUnless you want me to walk back to the navy yard.â
Gibbs just barely smiles. âGet in.âÂ
Itâs more than heâs given you in a day, so youâll take it.
His mood lightens more as he drives, and you realize itâs because Hotch isnât here. Itâs because itâs just you two, and Hotch is busy for the next few hours at least.
Youâve had your suspicions about Hotch being the cause of Gibbsâs bad mood, but for the life of you, you canât figure out why. It canât be that you and Hotch used to date because, well, why would that matter to Gibbs? You donât even think youâve mentioned that to him, though, knowing Gibbs, his gut probably told him.
You and Hotch dated for a bit when you were at the BAU, but it never went anywhere serious. You were looking into a transfer completely of your own volition when Hotch told you he wasnât sure he was ready to take your casual dates to the next level. You didnât blame him; you had kind of expected it. His wife died just a year prior. You were happy to go on dates and help him feel normal again, get his footing in the dating world, and for what itâs worth, you had a great time. There was no bad blood between the two of you when it ended.
So it canât be that Gibbs is doing his weird overprotective thing that he sometimes does, and it canât be that heâs interested in you because thatâs just absurd -- Gibbs, of all people?
Unless itâs not?
âCan I ask you something?â
âJust did,â Gibbs replies, just as you expected.Â
âWhatâs the matter with you?â
He laughs, âA--â
âA lot, yeah, I know,â you cut him off, and his laugh stops abruptly.
He glances at you, then back at the road, lifting his hand off the wheel in surrender. âAlright. What did I do this time?â
âWhat havenât you done, Gibbs?â you say back. âYouâve been in a foul mood -- worse than usual -- and it didnât get this bad until Aaron showed up--â
âYou know I donât like the FBI--â
âBullshit, Gibbs, you put up with Tobias, you took me in--â
âYeah, because we stole you from the FBI--â
âI wanted to transfer!â
âWhy?â he yells. âTobias tells me you were the best agent the FBI has seen in a long time and you what? Wanted to leave?â
âI needed a change of pace--â
âWhy?â
âWhy are you so interested all of the sudden?â you shout back at him, turning in your seat to face him. âIs this about Aaron?â
âIs it?â
You scoff, pissed off and turn to face forward again. âI didnât leave the FBI because of a man.â You cross your arms over your chest, muttering, âMight leave NCIS because of one though.â
You donât mean it. He knows you donât mean it. The statement hangs heavy between the two of you all the same.Â
Your jaw ticks from clenching it so hard. âSince itâs so interesting to you, yes, Aaron and I briefly dated. I was already looking into a new job when we decided it had run its course. It wasnât anything bad, he didnât cheat or break my heart, so you can stop acting like you need to intimidate him.â
âIâm not--â
âYou are,â you cut him off again, at this point just because you know how much he hates it. âAnd I donât know whatâs the matter with you, but you need to quit it. I donât know why youâre acting like-- like youâre jealous or something, but itâs ridiculous.â
âJealous?â Gibbsâs voice raises an octave.Â
âWhat else am I supposed to think?â
âMaybe Iâm just in a bad mood.â
âRight. A bad mood that so conveniently started when you saw me greeting an old friend.â
âWell, as you said, the two of you werenât just friends--â
âOh my god,â you laugh because really, this canât be happening again, but it seems it is. He has feelings for you. He just wonât admit it. Almost exactly what happened with Hotch, though you forgave him long ago for it given the circumstances. Gibbs is just being difficult for the sake of it. âI have a type. Or a magnet attached to me somewhere that pulls men like you.â
He parks in the lot outside NCIS, aggressively shoving the parking break into place. âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â
âFigure it out, Jethro,â you snap, throwing the door open and stepping out. âIâm going home.â
âHey! I didnât say you were done for the day!âÂ
You lean your head back down, smiling at him sweetly. âI didnât ask.â You slam the door so hard that it makes Gibbs curse.Â
But he doesnât go after you. Heâs really done it this time, so he lets you go, while he figures out how to fix it.
+++
God, you donât know whatâs gotten into him.Â
Youâve had some feelings toward Gibbs for a while now, but you resigned yourself to never acting on them, especially not after Aaron.
But damn if it isnât hard to not think about it, especially when Gibbs gets jealous.Â
Which he obviously is. You donât care what he says. Youâve always suspected your feelings might be mutual but that he had resigned himself in a similar way, so you never thought much of it. But after that conversation in the car?
He is jealous. And he canât stand it.Â
It might be more amusing than it is if he isnât such a dickhead about it all, but you digress.Â
You make it home just in time to see a text from Aaron. All finished up here. Still on for dinner tonight?
You bite back a grin as you reply. Always.Â
If Gibbs wonât get his head out of his ass, you will at least do yourself the favor of chasing the high youâve found these last two days with Aaron. Time has passed, and if youâre reading things right, it seems like he wants to try again. Or, at the very least, wants to try again for tonight, and youâve been without for so long that youâll take it. Happily.Â
You hurry inside your apartment to shower and change into your most subtle-not-subtle âI want to have sex with youâ outfit and start perusing what food to order in. You donât have the energy (or resources, your fridge is bare) to cook, so takeout it is.Â
Youâre midway through scrolling an online menu when you hear knocking.
You check the peephole and try not to grin. âHey stranger,â you say as you pull open the door.Â
âHi,â Aaron replies, eyes immediately darting to your chest before back up to your face. âYou look nice.â
âThank you,â you reply. âCome on in. I see you brought something.â
âYou think Iâd come over empty handed?â He shuts the door behind him and shrugs his suit jacket off his shoulders, hanging it on one of the hooks. âI know better than that.â
âI know you do,â you murmur, taking the flowers from him. âThank you.â
âItâs the least I could do,â he says, and for some reason, you think he means it for many things.Â
As you work to arrange them in a vase, he settles himself against the counter next to you.Â
âWhatâs on the menu for tonight?âÂ
âTakeout of some kind,â you chuckle. âIâm way too tired to cook.â
âFine with me,â he says, pulling out his phone. âCraving anything specific?â
You hum, looking up at him through your eyelashes, in the way you remember always used to get to him. âSurprise me.â
You donât miss the way his eyes darken as he nods. âOkay.â
You have no idea what he orders, but after a minute or so, he sets his phone down, and goes back to watching you.
âYouâre staring again,â you say, trying not to smile down at the flowers. âYou only do that when youâve got something on your mind, so. What is it?â
âThe BAU wants you back.â
âOh,â you raise your eyebrows. The double meaning isnât lost on you. âThe BAU wants me back now, do they?â
âThey do.â
âWell then,â you turn your head, looking up at him with a smile. âWhatâs their offer?â
âDinner,â he says simply. âFlowers.â
âI think they can do better than that.â
âI think so too,â he says softly, hand sliding along the counter until it meets yours, lacing your fingers together. âIâve missed you.â
You smile. âIâve missed you too,â you admit. âProbably more than I thought. Working together the past couple days brought back a lot of memories.â
He hums, pulling you closer, settling his hands on your waist. âYeah? Like what?â
âRemember that case in Alaska?â you whisper, moving your hands across his chest, up to his shoulders, feeling the warmth of him through his dress shirt. The warmth youâve craved since the last time you touched him. âThat little inn was tiny.â
He smirks. âAnd you took one for the team by rooming with me.â
âSomeone had to,â you chuckle, tipping your head back a little, looking up at him, practically goading him. âThat was our first night together.â
âPurely for survival,â he reminds you. âIt was cold.â
You nod seriously. âOh, yes, I remember. But youâre practically a human furnace.â One hand slides from his shoulder, up his neck, cupping his jaw. âThe BAU doesnât want me back, do they?â
He shakes his head. âJust me. They donât get to have you like this.â
You raise an eyebrow. âAnd you do?â
His hands squeeze your waist, and heâs already leaning in. âFor tonight?â
âTonight,â you promise, breath hot as you meet his lips halfway.
It takes only seconds for your bodies to remember one another. For you to remember how he likes to be kissed, for him to remember how you like to be lifted onto the counter, with him crowding between your legs.
Heâs already hard, grinding into you and you gasp, spreading your legs wider to accommodate his frame. Your hands are all over him, reacquainting yourself with his arms, his shoulders, his hair that you love to pull because of the growls it earns you from the back of his throat.
Aaron pulls back from your lips to latch onto your throat, to that spot that he knows will elicit a whimper, and it still does. He gets high off it, off of all your noises, off of the way you lock your ankles around him, canting your hips into his like you canât get him close enough. He wants this to last, but God, heâs missed you.
You tug on his hair until heâs back in front of your face, pupils dilated, lips already rosy and spit-slick. You crack a smile, seeing him like this, and heâs dazed, already leaning back in, wanting to taste that smile and store the memory forever.
âI want you,â you whisper to him in between kisses. âI want you, Aaron, itâs been too long.â
He inhales sharply, squeezing your body against his. âIâve thought about you every day,â he admits. âEvery day Iâve wondered why I didnât tell you we should keep seeing each other since you werenât going far--â
His words end there, abruptly, because someone is knocking on your door.
âIs that the food already?â you ask. Thereâs no way you two have been making out for that long.Â
The knocking only grows louder. And more familiar.
âWant me to answer it?â he asks.
âNo, no, Iâve got it,â you mutter, hopping off the counter, hoping to God that it is not who it sounds like. âSorry.â
âDonât be,â he says, watching you as you walk away. He lingers in the kitchen, just within earshot, so if the person turns out to be a nuisance, he can step in. If you need him to.
You clumsily try to fix your clothes and face before looking in the peephole and-- Fuck.
âI know youâre right there,â Gibbsâs voice calls from the other side of the door. âAnd I know youâre mad at me.â
Aaronâs voice from the kitchen âIs that--â just as you pull the door open with a slight grimace.
âJethro,â you greet him dryly. âWhat now?â
âPeace offering?â he asks, holding up a bouquet of flowers in one hand and bourbon in the other. âIâm sorry for being an ass today. And yesterday. And all the time.â
You canât help it, you smile, taking the flowers from him. âThanks.â You pause. âLook, this is-- Well, this is sort of awkward--â
Gibbs interjects. âWhat the hell is he doing here?â
You sigh, knowing that must mean Aaron has moved into view behind you. âHeâs here for dinner. AndâŚâ
âAnd?â Gibbs presses, and then starts laughing, mostly at himself. âGod, I show up with your favorite flowers and the only bourbon you like and heâs fucking beat me to it.â
âDonât be like this,â you hiss, only feeding off of his attitude. âYouâve had plenty of time to bring me flowers and you never did--â
âHe let you walk away once and what? Now youâre just gonna go right back to him?â
âIâm not going back to him,â you snap, feeling Aaronâs presence looming closer behind you now. âAnd even if I was, itâs not your business.â
âWhat does he have that I donât?â Gibbs asks, and for a moment it sends you back on your heels. He sounds so desperate. âHe touch you better than I do?â
âI wouldnât know,â you whisper. âYouâve never touched me the way I want you to.â
âDo you want me to?â he whispers back, a dangerous look in his eyes. âBecause I will.â
You nod slowly.
Gibbs shakes his head at you. âI need words, sweetheart.â
âPlease,â you can barely get it out. âCome inside.â
It feels like some twisted fate, that when you finally have Gibbs at your door, confessing his damn feelings, you already have your ex in your kitchen, and have already had his tongue in your mouth.
But Gibbs comes in anyway, he shuts the door and flicks the deadbolt. He wonât be leaving soon.
âIs everything okay?â Aaron asks, with an edge to his voice that you know well, but you donât want right now.
âBoth of you, in the living room,â you instruct, moving past them to set the flowers in the kitchen. âNow.â
Both men share a look before doing what theyâre told, while you busy yourself with finding another vase to put this bouquet in. You can hear them both pacing in the living room, but they arenât saying a single word to one another. Which is fine. You donât need them to speak to each other. You just.
You need a moment to figure out if what youâre about to suggest is such a wild, crazy idea that youâd be better off just kicking them both out.
But thatâs the thing. You want both of them. You donât want to choose. Why should you have to choose?
You fill a glass with water and guzzle it down, taking a deep breath. Worst case scenario, they say no. Or one of them does, and leaves, and you still get the other. Or they both leave.
Christ.Â
You take one more breath to compose yourself before you head into the living room. Neither of them are sitting, but they both come to a standstill and face you when you enter. Theyâre so similar in that respect, it almost makes you smile. If you werenât so nervous.
âOkay,â you begin, wringing your hands. âIâm about to suggest something, and you can tell me no if itâs too crazy or if you just donât want to do it. Got it?â
âGot itâ and âOkayâ echo from them.
You stare at them both, raking your eyes over their frames. You really do have a type, and that revelation would be embarrassing if you didnât have a bigger issue on your mind.
âI want both of you,â you blurt. âI think Iâve made that much obvious. But,â you pause when you can see their confusion brewing, âI donât want to choose.â
Gibbs shifts on his feet. âWhat?â
Aaronâs eyebrows furrow. âWhat are you saying?â
He, of all people, knows exactly what youâre saying, but you know what heâs doing. Heâs making you spell it out.
âI want both of you,â you repeat. âTonight. At the same time. All three of us.â You pause again, trying to gauge their reactions, but in typical Aaron and Jethro fashion, you donât get much. âI know itâs weird--â
âItâs not weird,â Gibbs stops you there. âYouâre sure this is what you want?â
âI donât know how to make it any clearer,â you chuckle, the nerves starting to melt away since neither of them seem upset or look like theyâre about to run. âI didnât expect you to come here tonight, Gibbs, but with both of you here, I donât want to choose.â
âYou want us to make the decision for you?â Aaron prompts.
Gibbs smirks. âLike a competition?â
You roll your eyes, starting to lose your patience. âIf thatâs the only way you two pigheaded alpha males will agree to it, then fine.â
Gibbs whistles and Aaronâs eyebrows raise sky-high. The men share a similar look, somehow having a silent conversation with one another.
âDid you hear that?â Gibbs asks Hotch, nodding his head toward you.
Aaron nods slowly, his eyes starting to grow darker again. Fucking shit. Youâre in for it now.
âThatâs no way to talk to the men youâre practically begging to touch you,â Gibbs continues, slowly stalking toward you.
âI donât beg for anything, you know that,â you snap, hoping you come across as unbothered, but your body betrays you as your feet take steps backward.Â
âMaybe not right now,â Gibbs says. âBut you will.â
You donât make it far, and Gibbs cracks a smile when you stumble into the wall, giving him easy access to pin you there, both hands on either side of your shoulders. You swallow thickly, your breaths coming shorter now. Heâs been this close to you before, but never like this, never had you licking your lips. His eyes follow the movement.
But still he doesnât kiss you. The bastard backs away from you.
âI interrupted you earlier,â Gibbs says to Hotch, waving him over. âItâs only fair that you pick up where you left off.â
Not that you donât want that, âBut--â
Gibbs holds up his hand, silencing you only for a moment before you come back to yourself, the foggy haze fading. âBut you were supposed to kiss me!â
âNo, because thatâs what you want, and youâre not going to get what you want with the attitude you have right now,â he says simply, stepping aside and shrugging his coat off his shoulders, folding it over his arm. âGo on, Hotch. Go back to what you were doing.â
Gibbs leaves the room, heading back into the hall to hang up his coat. You hope.
Aaron crowds your space again, holding your chin gently in between his thumb and forefinger to guide your eyes to his and away from glaring at Gibbs. âAre you sure about this?â he asks.
You nod furiously. âI am.â
âOkay,â he says. In one swift movement, heâs lifting you into his arms and backing you against the wall again, kissing you sweeter this time. Itâs intoxicating. You roll your hips against his abdomen as you tug at his hair, his hands wandering all over your back, but keeping you secure.
You think youâve got their number, that Gibbs is going to essentially be the mean one and Aaron the sweet one, but then Aaron is putting you back on your feet too soon and stepping away from you. Gibbs comes back into the room, rolling his shirt sleeves up to his elbows, sharing a look with Hotch.
You look between them, bewildered, chest heaving. âWhat?â
Gibbs chuckles. âShe is so impatient.â
âTell me about it,â Aaron agrees with a smile, undoing his tie and tossing it on the chair. âWhat do you think?â
âHello?â you huff, annoyed that theyâre having a full conversation as if youâre not standing right here.
âI donât know, I was thinking we could--â
You tune out the rest of Gibbsâs words with another eye roll, deciding to take matters into your own hands once again. If they want to act like youâre not here, then youâre going to act like they arenât here.Â
You reach for the hem of your shirt and tug it up and over your head, tossing it onto the chair with Hotchâs tie. Both of their words stop abruptly, but you donât even grace them with a look as you hum to yourself and work your pants down your legs.Â
Youâre just about to reach for the clasp on your bra when youâre practically manhandled into their space, Aaronâs chest against your back with his arms wrapped tightly around you, pinning your arms to your sides.
âAre you finished?â Gibbs asks, leaning down to meet your eyes.Â
âDepends,â you squirm, but Aaronâs hold is too strong. âAre you two going to start paying attention to me?â
âOh, is that what you want?â Gibbs smirks. âFine.â He nods toward the couch and itâs all Aaron needs before heâs walking you over.
It sends a thrill up your spine, sitting in Aaronâs lap on the couch, still firmly pinned. He works his knees in between your thighs before spreading his legs, which in turn only spreads yours impossibly wide and Gibbs--
Gibbs kneels before you, looking up at you with a hunger in his eyes that youâve never seen before. It only makes you squirm more, though you know itâs useless.
He doesnât immediately put his mouth where you want him the most, and you donât know why you even expected him to, considering heâs so dead-set on teasing you. Instead, he presses the gentlest kisses to your inner thighs, one hand wrapping securely around your ankle while the other toys with the edge of your panties.
You toss your head back onto Aaronâs shoulder, hoping you donât headbutt him in the process.Â
âSomething wrong?â Aaron chuckles into your ear. âI thought this was what you wanted?â
Your back arches when Gibbs mouths at your core through your panties, and you swear you can feel him smiling. âIt is, I just--â
âWhat do you want him to do?â Aaron presses. âTell him. Use your words.â
âPut his-- Gibbs, put your mouth on me--â
âAlready am, sweet girl.â
âYou know what I mean.â
âI really donât.â
âYouâre being a bastard on purpose.â
âI always am.â
âJust-- Fucking--â You fight weakly against Aaronâs hold. âNot through my panties--â
âOhhh,â Gibbs acts like itâs only just dawning on him as he hooks his thumb into the fabric and pulls it aside. âYou mean like this?â
You lift your head to look down at him, nodding frantically. âLike that.â
What you donât expect is for Gibbs to keep his gaze locked in yours as he leans forward, his tongue darting out to massage your clit. It sends such an electric shock through you that your hips buck involuntarily, chasing his mouth, and he just laughs, leaning away from you.
âYou are wound up, Jesus, how long has it been since youâve been with somebody? Donât answer that.â
You chuckle, your head lolling back onto Aaronâs shoulder so you can turn and whisper to him, âNo one since you.â Because itâs true.Â
But you hadnât told Aaron that, and the shock is evident on his face. Gibbs senses the moment though and ruins it promptly, finally latching onto your core and flicking your clit with his tongue.
He starts at a rapid pace, one you arenât prepared for, and you cuss into Aaronâs neck. You have no idea how he knows it, or what tells you give off, but at the exact moment when you feel it, Aaron says, âSheâs close.â
Gibbs pulls back from your core, licking lazily as he goes. âAlready?â
âWell not anymore,â you grumble, glaring up at Aaronâs jaw. âAsshole.â
âYou have a smart mouth on you today,â Gibbs says, pinching your thigh just enough to sting. âUp.â
Youâre surprised when Aaronâs arms go lax and he pushes you onto your feet before following you. Gibbs takes Aaronâs spot on the couch and then motions for you, but you donât move.
âCome here,â Gibbs reaches up and tugs you back down, positioning you so youâre straddling his thigh and facing away from him. âHereâs what youâre gonna do,â he pauses, untwisting the strap of your bra in a sweet gesture that doesnât match his words, âsince you desperately need to cum but need something to do with your mouth, youâre going to ride my thigh and suck him off. How does that sound?â
Euphoric. Surreal. You cannot believe your ears right now.
Gibbsâs hands squeeze your hips. âI said how does that sound?â
âG-Good,â you squeak out, your hands already reaching for Aaronâs hips to pull him closer. He smirks down at you, cupping your jaw as you unbuckle his belt with ease and work his pants and boxers down as far as they need to go. His erection springs free and itâs just as you remember, with the same vein you love to run your tongue over, and the same slight curve to it that your vibrator doesnât have.Â
Aaron thumbs at the corner of your mouth. âYouâre drooling.â
âSorry,â you say instinctively, and behind you, Gibbs lets out a laugh.
Youâre too entranced to even be angry at him for laughing at you.Â
âCome on, honey, there you go,â Aaron says, voice syrupy sweet as you open up for him and take him into your mouth. âThatâs my good girl.â
Your hips instinctively rock on Gibbsâs thigh at that, searching for some friction, and again, he laughs. âOf course you like being called a good girl when youâve been nothing but a brat since we started.â
You hum around Aaronâs length, not even caring that Gibbs is taunting you because his hands are on your hips, helping you move, and you can feel him flexing his thigh.
Aaron lets you take as much as you want at first, but you feel it when he starts wanting more. His hand that was once cupping your jaw slowly moves to the back of your neck, just resting there at first. You take more of him, letting the tip hit the back of your throat before backing off and doing it again. His fingers tighten against your skull and you open your eyes, looking up at him, giving him the permission he needs.
âFuckâ is all he gets out before both hands are on your head, guiding you, not forcing, but helping. You hold onto his thighs and pull him in more, taking him down your throat and holding him there when he tries to move you away. You can feel his legs trembling in your hold before you finally back off, just to take him deeper again.Â
Gibbsâs hands never leave your hips, rolling you right where you need it most, wishing you were riding his cock right now instead. He canât decide if he wants to feel your mouth on him next or if he wants to go straight to being inside you. But the noises youâre making-- Youâre enjoying this, giving Aaron head while letting Gibbs maneuver your body against his thigh. He has no doubt youâre soaking through your panties and probably leaving a wet spot on his leg, but he doesnât have it in him to care.
âClose, honey,â Aaron warns. âIf you want me to stop--â
Your response is to pull him in tighter, refusing to let him leave your mouth until he cums down your throat.
The second you feel him twitching in your throat, your hips start moving at a frantic pace, and Gibbs lets you chase it, wants to feel you come undone like this, just from rubbing on his thigh. When Hotch spills down your throat, you feel yourself shaking with your own orgasm, nowhere near as powerful as his, but enough that youâre taking him deeper into your throat, relishing in the feeling.
Hotch pulls back so just the tip rests on your tongue, letting you gently suck him clean, until he canât take it anymore, hissing from the sensitivity. Youâre licking your lips, smiling up at him lazily while still feeling Gibbsâs hands roaming your body.
âIs that what you needed?â Gibbs asks.
You nod, turning around in his lap so youâre straddling him and the obvious bulge in his pants. âWanna do the same to you.â
Gibbs smirks, stroking your cheek. âOh, no, sweet girl, I think I wanna be inside you first.â
A flash of surprise crosses your eyes, but you nod. âKiss me first?â
âAlright,â Gibbs relents, cupping the back of your head and pulling you in.
You get lost in it, in the feeling of Gibbsâs lips finally on yours after almost a year of teasing one another, a year of him getting up in your face and you wondering just how bad the consequences might be if you closed the gap. Now, itâs finally happening, and you donât want to miss a single second.
Aaron flops into the chair beside the couch, spent and in a daze after having your mouth on him again.
Youâre too busy kissing him, sloppy, hazy, like you want to eat him, to notice Gibbs has cracked an eye open and started smirking at Hotch.
âNeed a minute, big guy?â Gibbs chuckles, letting you kiss all over his face instead.
âOnce you feel her mouth, yeah, youâll need a minute,â Aaron says, all breathy the way you remember him being.
You pull your lips away from Gibbsâs jaw to smile lazily at Hotch. âStill good?â
Aaron nods seriously. âOf course, honey.â
Something about it makes you feel downright giddy, being the one to make Aaron Hotchner of all people have such a dazed look on his face and taking heavy breaths to regain his composure.
Your attention is on Aaron for a moment too long, though, and Jethro wants it back. He turns your head back to him and claims your lips again, licking inside your mouth and swallowing your moans.Â
Without another momentâs hesitation, Gibbs spins you and has your back to the couch, his body hovering over yours. He presses his erection down into your core, barely keeping his eyes from rolling in the back of his head at the feeling. As much as heâs been teasing you, heâs been edging himself, too.
Your legs instinctively wrap around his hips, pushing yours up to meet his and he groans, both hands darting out to pin you down.
Your hands have a mind of their own, reaching for his belt and yanking it open so quickly that he hardly realizes what youâre doing until youâve done it. Clearly youâve had a lot of practice, no doubt with the man sitting beside you with his head tossed back and his eyes closed, and the thought makes Gibbsâs blood boil again.
So what if heâs jealous? So what?
He lets you work his pants down before he finishes the job, shoving them aside onto the floor, but leaving his boxers, much to your annoyance. One hand snakes down to your core, into your panties, and youâre squirming again.
âSit still,â he chides.
âI donât want your hand, Jethro.â
âWell, too bad,â he snaps back. âIâm not a moron. Iâm not going to hurt you.â
âYou wonât hurt me,â you whine. âI like the stretch.â
A chuckle leaves Aaronâs lips, and Jethroâs eyes snap to meet his, daring him to say something.
He does. âSheâs a menace. She hates it, but you just have to finger her first while she squirms all over the place.â
You pout. âYouâre supposed to tell him itâs fine and that I donât need it.â
âSorry honey,â Hotch says, leaning over to press a quick kiss to your forehead. âI donât want you to hurt yourself.â
You relent, not that you have much choice, as Jethro works two fingers inside you to start. Thereâs a slight stretch, the pressure utterly delicious as he thrusts them slowly. He waits a second before adding a third and your back arches into him. You hear him grin.
âShe really does like it,â Gibbs says, in awe. He teases you by adding his pinky, and the moan you let out practically echoes off the walls as you clench around him. âAtta girl-- Oh you liked that. Iâve said that to you at work, and the whole time, youâve gotten off on it, huh?â
You nod against the couch cushions, too blind with the pleasure from his fingers and just the thought of him being inside you soon.
He leans over you, surprising you since your eyes are closed, his lips finding yours and kissing you hot and heavy. He can feel your walls fluttering around his fingers and he knows then that has to make you cum again. His thumb circles your clit and your body jerks, a moan ripping itself from your chest.
âCome on,â he whispers against your lips. âYou can do it. There you go, there you go.â
You shatter around him just as he curls his fingers just right, his mouth covering yours to taste the whimpers that leave you, to keep the sounds secret, as if theyâre just for him, as if the man beside you hasnât heard them before.
He slowly slides his fingers out, working his boxers down and away, pulling your panties down and gently laying them on the floor. Thereâs a question in his eyes, about whether to go search for a condom, and you shake your head. Itâs enough to undo him.
Just as Gibbs nestles the head of his cock right where you want him, someone is knocking on your damn door again.
You jolt, eyes going wide and Gibbs stilling above you. Aaron, on the other hand, is calm.Â
âIâll get that,â he says casually, standing and adjusting his pants. âDinner.â
Your eyes fall shut as you curse under your breath. You fucking forgot he ordered dinner.Â
Half of you expects Gibbs to move off of you, but he doesnât. He readjusts. He pushes the head inside and your eyes fly open, gaze locking with his. Thereâs another question in his eyes.Â
When your gaze doesnât waver, he presses forward, and your eyes roll back. Your jaw drops open in a moan that Gibbs covers just in time with his hand.
You hear Hotch at the door, chatting so casually with the delivery person as he accepts the food. You bite down on your lip to stifle your moans as Gibbs settles inside you, pressed against the deepest parts of you.
He rocks his hips experimentally, listening for your breaths and taking note of when you clench around him. He keeps his movements slow because he can tell you are loud and he doesnât exactly want the delivery person hearing you.
Once the door shuts and Aaron walks back into the kitchen, though, all bets are off. Gibbs pulls nearly all the way out before practically slamming back into you, so much so that you see stars from pure pleasure. The head of his cock nudges against your g-spot with every pass and itâs too much--
âItâs not too much,â he chuckles, making you realize youâd said that out loud. His hand slides from your jaw to gently rest around the side of your throat, just holding you. âYou can take it.â
Your head thrashes against the couch cushion as the pleasure builds and builds. You grip his arms tightly, trying to warn him but no words come out, only mindless mumbles and whines.
âI know, I know,â he soothes, one hand snaking down to rub circles on your clit. The touch practically lights your body on fire and then youâre clenching around him so hard that his rhythm falters. âJesus.â
âCumming,â you try to warn him, but itâs already happening.
âI can feel it-- Jesus, youâre trying to--â Gibbs doesnât get to finish his sentence before his orgasm takes over, his hips pressed against your pelvis as he lets go inside of you. You squirm against the feeling, the warmth only prolonging your orgasm as you grind your hips down onto him, milking him for all heâs worth.
He grips your hips in both hands, forcing you to stop. âSit still,â he says through gritted teeth. You feel another twitch as more cum leaks into you and you groan.
âFeels good,â you whine, trying to roll your hips again, your body not done yet, wanting to chase that feeling and have more. âPlease?â
âSeriously?â he laughs above you, kissing your jaw, under your ear, your lips. âGive a man a minute to recover.â
âShe wants more, doesnât she?â Aaronâs amused voice comes from the kitchen.
âY-Yeah,â Gibbsâs voice is shaky from feeling you clench around him. âIs she always like this?â
âUsually,â Hotch says, no doubt smiling.
But youâre not amused. Gibbs is still half hard inside of you and pressed right against your g-spot, and you want another. You want more.
âPlease,â you pout. âPlease, keep moving.â
He pulls out.
You have to fight the urge to dig your nails so hard into his shoulders that you draw blood.
âYou gonna help me?â Gibbs calls out to Hotch. âOr are you tapping out?â
âIâm not tapping out,â Hotch says, deadly serious, and voice sounding closer now. âI was putting the food away for later. Move over.â
Gibbs puts up no fight (surprisingly) as he shifts off of you, gesturing for Hotch to fill the space. Your legs are a little numb from how hard Gibbs fucked you, so you donât even bother trying to move.
A lazy smile flirts on your lips when Hotch hovers over you. âHey you.â
âHi honey,â he smiles. âDoing okay?â
You nod, reaching up to hold his face, pulling him down for a kiss. âDoing great.â
âNeed a break?â
You shake your head.
âNeed some water?â
You start to shake your head again, but Gibbs calls out from the kitchen, âGot it.â
You roll your eyes. âCâmere.â
Aaron lets you pull him down for more kisses, his tongue moving languidly against yours. Your arms loosely hook around his neck, back arching into his touch as his hands squeeze your waist, your breasts, thumbing over your nipples, fanning the fire already once again.
âAlright, get off her,â Gibbsâs words are gruff, but thereâs a hint of teasing in them, too.Â
Aaron smiles into the last kiss before backing off, pulling you up with him. âYou need to rehydrate.â
You roll your eyes but accept the glass of water anyway. âWhat about you guys?â you say in between sips.
âDonât worry about us,â Gibbs says, hand stroking your knee.
âThis is about you,â Hotch adds.
You smile around your next drink of water. You werenât expecting to get the best case scenario out of tonight, but clearly you are.
âSince this is about me,â you say, feeling a little bold now that theyâre both clearly here to stay, at least for tonight, âIâm gonna go pee, and when Iâm done, the both of you better be in the bedroom. Got it?â You raise your eyebrows at them, waiting for their answers.
They share a look and a smirk.
âYes maâam,â they reply at the same time, heads snapping to one another when they realize theyâve echoed each other.
You leave them in the living room, knowing their eyes are on you as you walk down the hall.Â
You take your time in the bathroom, staring at yourself in the mirror for a moment, wondering how tonight is real. You never fantasized about having them both. You thought about having Hotch again; you thought about having Gibbs. But never at the same time. Until you had them both within armsâ reach tonight.
Now you donât know how you never thought of this, even just to fantasize.
You wait and listen for any movement outside the door to indicate that theyâve followed into your room, but you hear nothing. Not that this surprises you because both men have an affinity for walking quietly and sneaking up on everyone -- though Gibbs does it more intentionally than Hotch, you think.
After giving it a few more moments, you open the bathroom door, coming face to face with Hotch who wastes zero time in lifting you over his shoulder.
âExcuse me!â you laugh, playfully hitting his back. âI can walk just fine.â
âOhhh, then we havenât been doing a good enough job, sweetheart,â Gibbs says from beside your bed.Â
Hotch tosses you onto your bed gently, though it is hard enough to make you bounce. You grin when Gibbs hovers over you with a wolfish grin.
âWeâll do better,â Hotch says, kneeling onto the end of the bed, stroking your calves. âWant to tell Gibbs about something we used to do?â
You see the dark green envy flash across Gibbsâs eyes, and you know it was intentional on Hotchâs part. It makes heat flood your entire body, the way Gibbs stares you down, eyes raking over every part of your face.
âWhat?â Gibbs says, all heat directed to Hotch but the word is spoken barely an inch from your lips. âWhat did you do?â
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, because it makes the envy flare in Gibbsâs eyes), you have no idea what exactly Hotch is referring to because the two of you did a lot when you were sleeping with one another. The panic is clear in your body to Hotch as you squirm a little, your legs trying to wriggle out of his grasp.
Aaronâs hand circles your ankle, holding you in place. âWell, Gibbs, sometimes when Iâd be inside her, sheâd want something in her mouth too, but fingers just werenât enough. Were they, honey?â
Your eyes go wide with the memory of Aaronâs hips slamming into yours while he guided one of your dildos down your throat.Â
âWonât need to use one of your toys this time,â Hotch continues. âWill we?â
You watch, slightly mortified, as it dawns on Gibbs what exactly Hotch is implying. And then heâs covering your lips with his, groaning into your mouth.
âWhere do you want us?â Gibbs whispers against you, tugging on your bottom lip.
âI want to taste you,â you smirk. âYou didnât let me earlier.â
He chuckles at that. âAlright, you win.â
You yelp, neither of them offering any warning before youâre tugged sideways on the bed so your head hangs slightly over the edge. Gibbs stands in front of your mouth and it sends a thrill through you, hands automatically reaching for him.
Hotch kneels between your legs, spreading your thighs and hooking them over his hips. âReady, honey?â His thumbs stroke your calves gently, a stark contrast to what you know is about to happen.
You nod furiously, trying to tilt your head to taste Gibbs, but he bats you away again.Â
âHey, eyes on me,â he orders, waiting for you to look up at him.Â
Aaron easily slides home just as you meet Gibbsâs gaze, your eyes rolling in the back of your head. Your mouth falls open in a moan that makes Aaron chuckle, hands palming your hips to lift them, meeting his slow thrusts.
Gibbs strokes your face gently, your eyes fluttering open. âTap me if itâs too much, got it?â
You nod, eyes lighting up now that heâs offering you what youâve wanted all night. You reach for him again to wrap your hands around him, but he shakes his head, grabbing your wrists. He places your hands on his thighs with a stern look.
âIâm doing all the work, you just hold on,â he says, lips twitching. âGot it?â
You nod again, relishing in the feeling of Aaronâs deep thrusts, how gentle he is despite how far he reaches inside you. And then, finally, Gibbs guides his cock into your mouth.Â
Your eyes instantly roll back when you feel him on your tongue. You donât know what it is, why youâve enjoyed having something in your mouth at the same time as your pussy, but itâs addicting. You forgot how much you loved it, even though you only did it a handful of times with Aaron, always a little too embarrassed to ask for it again. But clearly he noticed how much you enjoyed it.Â
Itâs pure bliss for you, feeling the weight of them both inside of you at the same time, matching each otherâs thrusts. The steady grip of Aaronâs hands on your hips paired with the gentle hold Gibbs has on your head to support your neck. Both caring for you while they fuck you into oblivion.
Gibbs pulls back only for a moment, Hotch slowing down as well so they can ask if youâre still with them.
âIâm great,â you say, voice hoarse, a lopsided smile crossing your face. You rock your hips up when Aaron slows down too much, whimpering when he pins you down. âWant to feel you guys cum in me.â
âYou first, honey, you know the rules,â Hotch coos, one hand splaying over your stomach so he can rub circles on your clit. âThen weâll give you what you want.â
Youâre close already just from feeling them in you and all over you and hearing them lose their composure because of you.Â
âCan you do that?â Hotch asks, knowing damn well that you can. You know he can feel you clenching every time he applies just a bit more pressure to your clit.Â
You squirm against him all the same, nodding. âY-Yeah, I can, just-- Need you to move.â
The two men share a silent conversation before Gibbs is tipping your head back again, feeding his cock back into your mouth.
This time, they start talking. Not to you. To each other.
âIâve never felt her like this,â Aaron says through a groan, pressing as deep as he can into you.
âYouâre welcome,â Gibbs says, so smug while he hits the back of your throat just as Aaron grinds against your g-spot, both motions making your eyes roll. âGod, I thought she had an oral fixation, didnât realize it was this bad.â
âBest thing in the world, isnât she?â Aaron replies, and the sweetness has your lips twitching into a half-smile around Gibbs. âPrettiest girl.â
Gibbs pulls back just to hear your little whine before he cuts it off by thrusting back in. âHow does she feel? Close?â
âRight on the edge,â Hotch sings, still rocking into you, still thumbing your clit. âCome on, sweetheart.â
Youâre squirming more and more, like youâre trying to run from them and pull them closer at the same time.
Gibbs feels it in your throat when you cum because all of your muscles relax and he slips impossibly deep, head falling back as your body shakes. He pulls back until his head is on your tongue, not wanting to cum down your throat in this position.Â
âThere she is,â Hotch breathes, still circling your clit, still thrusting right against your g-spot to prolong your orgasm. He doesnât stop until youâre pushing his hand away from your clit. âOkay, okay,â he whispers, soothing you by lacing your fingers together. âHad enough?â
You nod, then shake your head, then nod again. âWanna feel you guys first.â You pause, head tipping back, baring your throat to him.Â
Gibbs bends down first for a kiss, checking in, thumbing the tears from the corners of your eyes. Hotch readjusts, lifting your legs so your ankles are over his shoulders, so he can press a kiss to the joint before continuing.
When they start again, youâre not so sure youâll be able to come again after so many times. Your body is beginning to feel entirely wrung out, limbs going limp.Â
They play you like a fiddle, but take care of you even while they chase their own highs. You hear them talking to each other again, but it quickly devolves into them talking to you, praising you.
âSo good, asking us to do this,â Aaron coos.
âSo good for letting us do this,â Gibbs echoes. âFeels amazing.â
âAlways feels like Heaven, honey.â
You preen into their touches, into Gibbsâs gentle hands on your neck, into Aaronâs soft touch on your thighs. Maybe itâs the new position, maybe itâs their sweet talking, but it gets you there once again.
Feeling you spasm around him has Aaron shuddering through his orgasm, pressing his hips against yours as close as theyâll go. Gibbs basks in the warmth of your throat for a moment longer before pulling back, spilling over your tongue, then your chin, neck, and chest.Â
You let out the happiest, content sigh when you feel both of them reach their own release. The two men share a mystified smile.
Your legs shake as Hotch lowers them, your core fluttering around him as he pulls out gingerly, smoothing his hands over your stomach, shushing you.Â
You let them manhandle you one more time, but now so you can curl up in between them on the bed. You bury your face in Gibbs chest the second he lays down, and you tug Hotchâs arm further around your waist as he settles in behind you.
Youâre a smiling mess as Gibbs presses a kiss to your forehead, just as Hotch kisses the crown of your head.Â
âSoâŚâ You pause, unable to stop the mischievous giggle that leaves your lips. âI think that was a tie.â
âA tie?â Gibbs is so incredulous that it makes you laugh harder, hysterical now.
Hotch tightens his arm around your waist. âWeâll just have to try again.â
âSheâll pick the right side,â Gibbs says, kissing your forehead again. âWonât you?â
He looks deep into your eyes, but all you do is smile at him, giving him no sort of answer that he wants.
âShe will,â Hotch says from behind you, possessiveness dripping from his words. âShe knows where she belongs.â
Yeah, you think with a smug smile. Right in the middle.
Pairing:Â Elijah âSmokeâ Moore x Lyric (Best Friendâs Dad AU)
Series: Mr. Smoke â Part II
Summary:Â It started in the guest room. A door that shouldâve stayed closed, a secret pressed into the walls while his daughter slept down the hall.
Now Lyric walks back into Elijahâs house like she never left, whispering the line that seals their fate:Â âIâm ready for the rest of the tour.â
Room by room, he claims her â kitchen, living room, even the forbidden bedroom that isnât hers. Each wall remembers. Each breath risks being caught.
But when the storm clears and the night settles, what lingers isnât just filth. Itâs the dangerous truth: they canât stay away.

Creampie + cum play, Best Friendâs Dad (taboo, forbidden), Praise + degradation, possessive daddy vibes, Almost caught tension / high risk, Room-by-room conquest (kitchen, living room, best friendâs room, his room, etc.), Emotional undercurrent creeping in (theyâre starting to fall)

Part 1
The guest room still smelled like them.
Not in a way anyone else would clockâfresh sheets had been stripped and washed, a candle had been burned down low, windows cracked for ânight airââbut the walls had a memory and it kept telling on them. The kind that lived under paint and behind picture frames. The kind that woke up when the air went still and the house went silent.
Elijah MooreâSmoke to just about everybody who matteredâstood in that doorway long after he shouldâve gotten in his truck and gone for a drive. The hall was dark, the single sconce throwing a far-reaching amber over the carpet. Down the hall, his daughterâs door sat quiet, a slice of girlish posters and string lights tucked behind wood. He didnât look at that door. Wouldnât. Couldnât.
He looked at the bed instead. At the slight dip in the mattress where a smaller body had once arched and trembled for him while the whole damn house slept. The sheet had no right being that innocent.
He dragged a palm over his jaw. The scrape of his beard sounded loud in the hush. He shouldâve been done with thisâshouldâve buried the night and let it decompose like every other bad decision a man learns to outlive. But every time he closed his eyes, he saw the way Lyric had gone quiet for him. Not shyâquiet. That dangerous, willing quiet that said do it again even when her mouth shook around the word donât.
He took two steps in and stopped himself from taking a third.
âGet out the doorway, Smoke,â he muttered under his breath. âBefore you make a habit you canât break.â
He left anyway. He was good at leaving when people were awake.
He was terrible at living in the dark.
Lyric learned that about herself the same week.
She lay on her own bed across town, legs slick under the thin throw blanket, the ceiling fan carving the room into slow circles. Her phone had been face-down on the nightstand for exactly eleven minutes. Sheâd counted. Sheâd tried to read, tried to scroll, tried to watch that show everybody kept telling her to watchânone of it stuck. Her brain kept snapping back like an elastic band, flinging her into that guest room, into his hands, into the kind of breathless hush that turned the world into a secret.
She flipped the phone over, pretending she wasnât hoping.
One new text:Â Smoke.
Get some sleep. Stop thinkinâ about me.
She smiled before she could stop it. The smile curled into something sheâd never admit out loud.
Too late.
Bubbles appeared. Disappeared. Appeared again, like he was arguing with his better self.
You trouble.
Her thumbs moved without permission.
You started it.
Long pause. Then:
Go to sleep, Lyric.
She turned the phone face down again. Turned it back up. The clock read 12:41 AM. She could hear Tashaâs voice in her headâthe daughter voice, the best-friend voice, the we donât keep secrets voiceâand pushed it aside with a practiced flick. Tasha slept like she did everything else: fully, loudly, without second-guessing. Lyric wanted to be that kind of sure. She used to beâabout grades, about plans, about the kind of man sheâd end up with.
Then she met the man she wasnât supposed to want.
She threw the blanket off, sat up, and padded to the window. The apartment complex was quiet this time of nightâjust the hum of a distant highway and the glitter of somebodyâs porch light two buildings over. She pressed her forehead to the cool glass and let the memory of his voice roll through her head like smoke under a door.
Be still for me, baby.
She closed her eyes. Her breath fogged a small circle on the pane.
No one had ever made her feel like a decision and a sin at the same time.
Her phone buzzed again.
You still up?
She didnât even pretend to wait this time.
Yeah.
Call me.
She did. The ring didnât finish its first loop.
âThought I told you to sleep,â he said, low and dry, the shape of a smirk folded in the words.
âAnd I thought I told you I couldnât,â she whispered. She kept her voice soft, like the word Moore might leak through the drywall and into somebody elseâs ear if she wasnât careful.
âLyric,â he warned, and somehow her name in that tone felt like a hand around her ankle under a bedsheet.
âYou started it,â she said again, half a laugh tucked in the pocket of the words. âYou sent the text.â
âYou know thatâs not what I started.â
Silence. It wasnât empty. It was full of everything they didnât say in daylight.
âWhat are you doing?â she asked.
âTruck,â he said. She could hear the window cracked, the little spit of wind blowing the ash off the end of a cigarette. âTryinâ to talk myself out of driving over there and messinâ up both our lives.â
The blunt honesty caught her off guard. It shouldnât have. He lived in straight lines and sharp truths. But it opened something in her chest anyway, the kind of opening that made a person reckless.
âThen donât drive,â she whispered, smiling into the dark. âJust talk.â
He huffed a soft laugh that sounded too much like surrender. âAinât safe neither.â
âWhy not?â
âBecause your voice sound like a green light.â
Her stomach dropped in that small, pleasurable way a roller coaster does it. The kind you pretend you hate while youâre standing in line, but you came to the park for it.
âSay something nice then,â she said, bold all of a sudden. âNot filthy. Nice.â
He took too long to answer. When he did, it wasnât what she expected.
âYou made a mess of me in that little bed,â he said quietly. âQuietest mess I ever made.â
Lyricâs knees bent, her back found the wall. Her free hand slid down her thigh and came back damp.
âThat supposed to be nice?â she asked. Breathless came out cocky.
âSupposed to be true.â
They stayed like thatâbetween breath and confessionâfor a long, long time, until the fan made five more lazy revolutions and the window fanned cool air across the sweat at her hairline. He didnât tell her what to do. He didnât walk her to an edge with orders she couldnât say no to. He just stayed on the line, steady, while her breath went ragged and her mouth went quiet and the words please and more did not have to belong to anyone else.
She fell asleep to him saying her name like he was smoothing her hair off her face.
He fell asleep to the memory of how sheâd looked at him in the darkâlike sheâd found something she didnât plan on wanting and wanted it anyway.
Dinner at the Moore house always looked simple on the outside. A spread of food across the table, Elijah posted at the head like he was born to it, Tasha talking fast with her hands while Lyric chimed in like the sister sheâd unofficially become over the years. The radio hummed low in the backgroundâsome old R&B Elijah always insisted on instead of Tashaâs playlists. It was all picture-perfect. Normal.
Except normal didnât account for the undercurrent.
Lyric sat angled across from Elijah, one knee tucked beneath her, pretending she was more focused on her plate than the weight of his eyes. Tasha was in her own worldâtelling a story about work, about some girl who had tried her patience that afternoon, fork clinking against her plate between animated bursts of laughter.
Lyric laughed too, but it was delayedâhalf a beat late, because Elijahâs gaze had caught her like a hook. She felt it before she looked up, and when she did, it was already there: that slow, steady drag of his attention that burned hotter than any spotlight.
It lasted too long. Long enough for her to feel her pulse flutter at her throat. Long enough for her to remember the guest room, the hush, the way heâd told her to be still for me, baby while the whole damn house slept.
She broke eye contact first, jabbing at her food like it required sudden concentration. Tasha didnât notice.
âDaddy, you hear me?â Tasha nudged, halfway through her story.
Elijahâs eyes left Lyric, easy as if nothing had happened. âYeah. Iâm listeninâ,â he said, tone even, that quiet fatherâs authority rolling under every word.
Lyric swallowed a sip of water and tried to convince herself she hadnât just been pinned to her seat by nothing more than a look.
The food went around again. Tashaâs laughter filled the gaps. And still, every so often, Lyric would glance up and catch him watching herâjust a flicker, never long enough to get caught, but enough to make her press her thighs tighter under the table, as though the pressure might hold her together.
When she reached for the hot sauce, their fingers brushed across the glass neck of the bottle. She couldâve let go. He couldâve, too. Neither did. Not right away.
The drag of his skin against hers was brief but deliberate, and it shot heat straight up her arm.
Tashaâs voice cut through the moment like a snapped twig. âLyric, pass me the hot sauce. You hogginâ it.â
Lyric startled, blinked, and let the bottle slip from her hand. Elijah passed it down with his usual calm, no hitch in his movements, as though her pulse wasnât still rattling from the contact.
Dinner stretched on like thatâmundane on the surface, dangerous underneath. Every bite, every clink of a glass, every shared laugh between her and Tasha layered itself over the fact that she and Elijah were stealing looks like they had no right to.
By the time Tasha stood to clear the table, Lyric could feel the heat building low in her stomach, coiled tight from the restraint. Elijah rose too, collecting plates, his movements steady, unhurried. He brushed past Lyric on his way to the sink, the faintest graze of his shoulder against her backânothing Tasha would notice, everything Lyric would.
âDonât just sit there,â Tasha teased, snapping Lyric out of her daze. âGrab the cups.â
Lyric stood quickly, clutching at the glasses like they were lifelines. She followed into the kitchen, pulse unsteady, and when she glanced up, Elijah was already looking again. Only this time, the corner of his mouth curved like he knew exactly what she was feeling.
She dropped her gaze before Tasha turned around.
And just like that, the night carried on. Tasha clueless, Elijah calm, and Lyric trembling beneath the quiet weight of a secret only two of them carried.
The first hard line Elijah drew for himself broke at 2:07 AM three nights later.
He was in his truck, seat reclined a notch, window cracked. The neighborhood was asleep in that way only certain neighborhoods sleepâconfident, heavy, as if everyone had handed their keys to the night and told it to be careful. Heâd driven around the block twice, swearing he wasnât going to stop. Then he stopped.
He wasnât outside her place. He wasnât that careless. Heâd parked a block over, under a tree that dropped leaves that looked like little hands.
The radio was off. His phone lit the cab with a soft square of light.
He scrolled.
Lyricâs name sat high on the thread. The last thing sheâd sent was a picture of the paperback on her lapâone knee tucked up, bare skin catching the lampâcaptioned I canât concentrate. Youâre noise in my head.
Heâd replied nothing. Not because he didnât have anything to say. Because he had too much.
He flicked ash out the window. The ember pinwheeled, a red eye blinking shut.
âBe a grown man,â he muttered. âDo the right thing.â A beat. âTake your own advice.â
He stared at the phone until it blurred. Then he typed anyway.
You sleep?
The three dots came up instantly, like sheâd been waiting with the phone in her hand, like sheâd been hoping for exactly this kind of weak.
No.
He leaned his head back against the headrest and spread his fingers across the steering wheel to keep from touching himself at the idea that she was awake because of him.
Donât be up for me.
Thatâs exactly why Iâm up.
He swore under his breath. The word sounded good in the empty cab, like it had weight and teeth.
You tryinâ to make me the bad guy.
You already are, Mr. Moore.
He laughed, low and helpless, the sound coming from a place between shame and want.
Go to sleep, girl.
Tell me to.
He closed his eyes, shook his head like he could rattle the ache loose.
Sleep, Lyric. Now.
A minute passed. Then:
Okay. Night.
The phone dimmed. The truck went quiet again. He shouldâve felt in control. He didnât. He felt ownedâby restraint, by impulse, by the idea of her, by the yes he was trying to sit on like a man sits on a live wire.
When you feed a fire in only little breaths, it learns how to live on less. It also learns how to wait.
They called more. Not every nightâjust enough to make the nights in between feel like punishment. They argued about nothing and everything. They told each other things they had no business telling. He learned the way she cleared her throat when she was about to say something dangerous. She learned the way his voice dropped half an inch when he wanted to see if sheâd follow him somewhere she shouldnât.
She sent pictures that stopped just shy of obvious. He sent none. His replies made the pictures feel like a dare anyway.
âBet you canât go a week without touching me,â she whispered one night, the grin soft in the words.
âBet you canât go a day without thinkinâ about it,â he said, and knew heâd just cursed himself along with her.
At church the next Sunday, he saw her with her hair pulled back and her mouth set the way a womanâs mouth gets set when sheâs decided to forgive herself for things other people will make her apologize for. He sat two pews behind. He did not look away when she glanced over her shoulder, quick like a thief, soft like a promise.
Afterward, in the bright crush of hallway chatter and ushersâ white gloves, she moved past him close enough to be rude.
âEveninâ, Mr. Moore,â she said, sweet as pie, not even turning her head.
âWatch yourself,â he murmured, lips barely moving.
She did not. Not that day. Not any day after.
The night she finally broke the rule of donât ask, it was raining.
Not hardâjust the kind of soft, steady rain that makes everything feel like itâs happening inside a secret. She was in bed again, Tasha out with friends, the apartment quiet enough to hear her own heartbeat. The fan was a small airplane overhead. Her phone was a small sun on the nightstand.
She picked it up and didnât pretend this time, didnât frame the truth pretty, didnât pack it in bubble wrap.
Mr. MooreâŚÂ Iâm ready for the rest of the tour.
He didnât answer right away. The rain filled the room with a patient drumming. She pulled the blanket to her waist. Her own smile surprised herâshy and sharp at once, a blade in velvet.
When his reply came, it wasnât words. It was a location pin. His house.
Then, a text:
Tasha gone till late. Front lightâs on a timer. If you come, you donât knock. You walk in like you belong.
She stared at the screen until her pulse climbed to meet the rain.
She typed nothing, because there was nothing left to say.
She got up. She brushed her teeth and laughed at herself in the mirror for doing it. She pulled on a dress as if the decision were a dress too, as if she could zip it up and it would hold. She stood at her door listening to the hallway, then stepped into it anyway.
Her phone buzzed one more time before she hit the stairs.
You sure?
She didnât text back. She sent him a short video insteadâjust the hem of her dress, the bare line of her thigh, her hand smoothing over the fabric like a palm over a promise.
He watched it in his kitchen, one hand flat on the counter, the other fisted uselessly at his side. He closed his eyes and let the rain and the ticking oven clock and his own breath count down something he knew he could no longer stop.
When the front door eased open on its soft hinges, he didnât move to greet her.
He wanted to watch her cross the threshold like sheâd been here all along.
And the houseâtraitor, witness, accompliceâheld its breath right along with him.
The door whispered shut behind her, softer than the rain still kissing the porch. Lyric didnât bother pretending she was here for Tasha anymore. The lie had already been burned through by the way her dress clung damp to her thighs, by the way her hand still trembled from hitting âsend.â
Elijah stood in the kitchen, just as he had when the video came through, his palm still pressed flat to the counter as if bracing himself against an impact. His eyes tracked her like a shadow made fleshâslow, heavy, claiming without permission.
The house knew this game already. Every creak of the floorboard, every low hum of the fridge, every tick of the oven clockâsilent witnesses, recording sin.
âYou shouldnât be here,â Elijah said at last, voice low, more warning than welcome.
Lyric tilted her head, water still catching on the lashes she hadnât bothered to wipe. âThen tell me to leave.â
He didnât.
She crossed the space between them on bare feet, her heels left abandoned near the door. Her dress whispered around her thighs with each step, the hem sheâd sent him in the video riding higher, taunting them both.
Elijahâs jaw clenched. He looked away, then back, and that look alone was a whole argumentâage, loyalty, danger stacked up against hunger.
Lyric smirked like sheâd already won. She set her palms on the cool edge of the counter, leaning close enough that her perfume rose between them like smoke.
âMr. Moore,â she murmured, the words a tease and a dare in one. âIâm ready for the rest of the tour.â
Elijahâs hand moved before his mind caught up. He caught her wrist, firm but not rough, pinning it against the counter as if holding her in place might hold time itself. His eyes burned into hers, and the space between their mouths shrank, then vanished altogether.
The kiss wasnât sweet. It wasnât careful. It was teeth and tongue and four years of swallowed-down want all snapping loose at once. Her back hit the counter edge, and she laughed into his mouth even as she arched against him, her body all spark and gasoline.
âThought youâd never ask,â he muttered against her lips, dragging his hand down the side of her dress until his knuckles found bare thigh.
Lyric bit his bottom lip hard enough to sting. âThought youâd never stop pretending.â
That did it. That was the line that snapped something taut inside Elijah Moore.
For weeks, heâd let her flirt, push, smile with those knowing eyes whenever Tashaâs back was turned. Heâd swallowed down the fire that burned hotter every time she tilted her head at him like she was testing gravity. Heâd convinced himself that one night in the guestroomâone night of breaking every line in the sandâcould be folded up and forgotten if he just clenched his jaw hard enough.
But now, in his kitchen, with her wet mouth curling into that dare, he finally let go.
He had her against the counter in less than a second.
The sound was brutal, the thump of her back hitting wood and the scrape of metal knobs rattling. One of his hands framed her throat, thumb pressing into the hinge of her jaw so she couldnât look anywhere but at him. The other yanked her dress up with no finesse, no patienceâjust tearing it over her hips in one sharp drag.
Her laugh trembled into a gasp. âElijahââ
âShut it.â His voice was gravel dragged across heat. âYou walk in my house with no fuckinâ panties, you donât get to say my name sweet like that. You came here begginâ.â
The dress slipped higher, higher, until the straps gave way and the whole thing whispered down her body like smoke curling to the floor. She was left in nothing but her bra, nipples stiff under thin lace. His palm splayed low across her stomach, thumb tracing down, down, finding her slit bare and wet.
âGoddamn.â He dragged two fingers across her folds, slow just to punish her. âYou wet already. You came here drippinâ for me. Say it.â
Her breath stuttered. Her hips betrayed her, rocking into his hand. âIââ
âSay it, Lyric.â His grip on her throat tightened just enough to make her eyes go glassy. âTell Daddy you came here soaked for him.â
Heat flushed all the way up her chest, shame and want tangled so thick she could barely breathe. âI came here for you,â she whispered.
âNot good enough.â His fingers dipped lower, teasing her clit with cruel circles but not slipping inside. âSay it right.â
Her voice cracked, high and broken. âI came here wet for you, Daddy.â
His grin was pure sin. âThatâs my girl.â
The counter dug into her spine as he bent her forward with one hard shove. Her cheek met the cool granite, her ass angled up. He kicked her legs apart with his knee, spreading her wider.
âYou know what I see when I look at you right now?â His voice rumbled low, close to her ear as his fingers spread her folds wide, glistening under the kitchen lights. âI see a little slut who donât even care that the whole damn neighborhood could see through those windows.â
Her eyes flicked openâhe was right. The blinds were tilted half-shut, but not enough. Anyone walking past could catch a glimpse of her bent over, bare ass arched, Elijahâs broad chest pressed to her back.
Her stomach flipped, molten with risk. âThen close the blinds.â
He slapped her ass, hard. The crack echoed. âNo. You wanted dangerous? You gonâ take dangerous. You wanted Daddyâs dick? You gonâ feel it right here.â
She whimpered, and the sound made him curse under his breath. He unzipped his pants fast, dragging them down his hips with no care, baring himself thick and hard. The blunt head pressed against her entrance, wet already from his teasing fingers.
He didnât push in. Not yet. He slid it along her slit instead, up and down, letting her feel how ready he was. His voice was poison-laced honey.
âYou feel that? Thatâs what you came begginâ for. You gonâ taste it, you gonâ take it, and you gonâ remember that in this houseââ His teeth sank into her shoulder, a rough bite. ââyou only open your legs for me.â
She tried to push back, desperate to feel him split her, but his hand clamped down on her hip, keeping her still. âNot until I hear you ask.â
Her nails scratched at the counter. Her pride fought with the ache burning between her legs. Finally, broken and breathless: âPlease, Daddy. Please fuck me.â
The growl he gave couldâve cracked the floor. âGood girl.â
He shoved inside in one sharp thrust,  deep, the sound filthyâwet and heavy. She screamed against the counter, his forearm pressing her neck down so it came out muffled.
âOh my Godââ
âThatâs it,â he groaned, hips grinding as he bottomed out. âTake it all. Take Daddyâs dick like you was made for it.â
He pulled almost all the way out, dragging slow, then slammed back in harder. The counter rattled. Her body jolted forward with each brutal snap of his hips. He had her pinned, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
Her bra scraped against the granite with each thrust. Her tits ached, her throat was caged by his arm, but all she could think about was how deep he was, how he stretched her open until she could feel him in her lungs.
âYou hear that?â His voice rasped against her ear. âThatâs your pussy talkinâ back to me. So wet itâs begginâ Daddy not to stop.â
She cried out, legs trembling, the mix of degradation and praise unraveling her. âYouâreâoh fuckâyouâre ruining me.â
âThatâs the point.â His pace quickened, punishing. âI ruin you here, every other room just gonâ be dessert.â
Her orgasm hit hard, wrung out of her by his merciless rhythm. She clenched around him so tight he cursed viciously, hips stuttering for the first time. He fucked her through it, grinding deep, filling her with every inch until she shook against the counter.
When he finally pulled out, slick dripping down her thighs, he turned her around by the throat and kissed herâmessy, filthy, full of teeth.
Her dress lay forgotten on the tile. She was half-naked, bra strap falling down her shoulder, flushed and panting.
He looked at her like she was prey heâd already caught but wasnât finished with. His hand squeezed her chin.
âKitchenâs mine now,â he said, voice low. âNext room.â
He didnât give her time to answer. His hand stayed firm on her chin as he bent down, biting her bottom lip hard enough to sting before pulling away. She gasped, unsteady, but his other hand was already circling her waist, guiding her away from the counter.
Her bare feet hit the tile, cool against her skin. The house was quiet, only the sound of them breathing. It felt obscene, almost criminal, that silence wrapped around them while her thighs were slick and trembling, while her bra sagged loose against her chest.
Elijah bent, scooping his pants off the floor with one hand. He didnât bother pulling them back onâjust held them over his shoulder like he owned the place, like he owned her.
âMove.â
It wasnât loud, but it carried the weight of command. Lyric obeyed before she thought to argue, bare legs unsteady as she stepped into the hallway. He walked behind her, close enough that his heat pressed against her back, his hand sliding up her spine to the back of her neck.
The floor creaked under them, the kind of sound that made her stomach tighten. Every step was risk, every shift of shadow on the wall a reminder they werenât supposed to be here like this. Her pulse pounded in her ears.
Halfway down the hall, he pressed her to the wall again. His body caged hers in, broad chest against her back, his mouth hot against the curve of her shoulder. He bit hard, dragging a groan out of her throat she tried to swallow down.
âCanât even walk straight,â he muttered, voice gravel low. âAlready weak for Daddy.â
Her breath hitched. She tried to throw something backâsome sharp edge of defianceâbut all she managed was a shaky laugh that gave her away.
He chuckled darkly. âThatâs what I thought.â His hand slid under her bra, cupping her breast, squeezing until she whimpered. Then he let go as abruptly as he touched, guiding her forward again. âCâmon. Couch is waitinâ.â
The living room opened before them in shadow. The only light bled from the streetlamps outside, striping the walls with thin gold lines. The couch sat deep in the center, familiar and wrong all at onceâsuddenly a stage for something that shouldâve never been allowed here.
Elijah shoved her until her knees hit the edge of the cushions. She stumbled, catching herself on the backrest. Before she could straighten, his hand pushed between her shoulder blades, bending her over.
âYou know what this is?â he asked, voice rough against her ear.
She shook her head, her breath quick and shallow.
âThis is me takinâ my house back. One room at a time. And youââ His hand smacked her ass, hard, making her yelp. ââyouâre gonna help me.â
He didnât let her move away. His grip on her hair tightened, dragging her down until her knees hit the carpet. Her face hovered inches from his lap, from the hard line already straining heavy in the dim light.
âOpen.â His thumb dragged across her lips, pressing past them like he already owned her mouth too.
Lyricâs pulse thundered, but she obeyed, lips parting, tongue sliding out just enough to tease the tip. His hiss filled the quiet, sharp and satisfied.
âAtta girl,â he muttered, pushing deeper until the head of his dick glistened wet against her tongue. âShow me you can behave.â
She wrapped her hand around the base, heavy and thick, stroking slow as she sucked him in. Her lips stretched, spit slicking her chin as she bobbed her head, taking more with every push. His hand guided her pace, buried in her curls, keeping her right where he wanted her.
âLook at you,â he rasped, watching her through half-lidded eyes. âDown there like you canât wait to swallow Daddy whole.â
Her eyes lifted, meeting his. That heat, that defiance, still flickered there even with her mouth stuffed full of him. He groaned low, hips jerking forward until she gagged around him. He didnât apologizeâjust dragged her closer, held her there a beat longer, his breath ragged.
âMessy as hell. Just how I like it.â
Her throat flexed as she pulled back, spit stringing between her lips and his dick. She caught her breath only to take him again, faster now, sucking hard, stroking what she couldnât fit. His chest heaved, sweat beading at his temple.
When her free hand slid lower, teasing the base of his balls, his curse cracked into the dim room.
âFuck, girl⌠gonna have me forget we got more rooms to christen.â His grip tightened in her hair, forcing her to pause, head pulled back, lips glossy and swollen.
He dragged his thumb across her spit-slick mouth, his chest rising heavy. âThatâs enough. Not blowinâ my load on your pretty tongue tonight.â
He stood, towering over her, stripping his shirt off slow, deliberate. The sight of his bare chest in the low light made her mouth go dry, every cut of muscle shadowed sharp. He tossed the shirt aside, the last barrier gone, until it was just him towering over her, naked and merciless.
âOn my lap,â he ordered, sinking into the couch.
Her bra hung loose, straps sliding down her arms as she turned to straddle him. His dick stood heavy, slick from her mouth and pussy both, the head brushing against her thigh. She gasped at the heat of it, how it pulsed against her skin.
âLook at me.â
Her eyes met his, wide and uncertain, and that was exactly how he wanted her. His hand closed around her throat, steadying her, reminding her who controlled the pace.
âNow ride Daddy. Slow.â
Lyric straddled him, the heat of his body soaking through her skin before heâd even slid inside her. His hand on her throat was steady, anchoring her, forcing her to keep her eyes on him while she lined herself up.
The head of his dick pressed hot and thick against her entrance. She shivered, thighs trembling where they bracketed his hips.
âDo it,â Elijah ordered, his thumb brushing the hollow of her throat. âTake Daddy in nice and slow.â
Her breath hitched, and she sank down. The stretch made her moan immediately, raw and needy, his size splitting her open inch by inch until her ass met his thighs.
âFuckâŚâ she gasped, nails digging into his shoulders.
Elijahâs jaw flexed, eyes locked on hers. âThatâs it. Look how full you are already. Tight little pussy grippinâ me like it donât wanna let go.â
Her hips shifted, a small, experimental roll, and both of them groaned at the drag. He held her still for a second, fingers biting into her waist.
âSlow. I said slow. You gonna follow directions tonight, or you want me to show you what happens when you donât?â
Her smirk wobbled under the weight of his grip, but her body obeyed. She started to move, a long, deliberate grind forward and back, her slick dragging every nerve across his dick.
Elijahâs head fell back for half a second, eyes squeezing shut, but he forced himself to meet her gaze again. âThatâs my girl. Workinâ for it. Fuckinâ beautiful.â
The praise made her shudder. She leaned forward, her tits brushing his chest, lips parted against his. Their mouths crashed together in a messy kiss, all tongue and teeth and spit. His hand stayed locked around her throat, guiding her rhythm even while his tongue tangled with hers.
Her pace quickened without thinking, and his grip snapped tight again.
âWhatâd I tell you?â he growled against her lips. âDonât make me flip you over and remind you whoâs in charge.â
She whimpered but slowed again, the tease of control still hers but only because he let it be.
The living room air was heavy, thick with sweat, sex, and the faint hum of the television left on mute. The couch creaked under them, each drag of her hips loud in the quiet house.
âDaddyâŚâ she breathed, her voice breaking, âfeels too goodâcanâtââ
âYeah, you can,â he interrupted, cutting her off with another hard squeeze at her throat. His other hand slid between them, thumb circling her clit. âYou can and you will. You gonâ sit there and milk me like you were made for it.â
Her thighs shook. She tried to keep the slow grind, but the extra stimulation shattered her control. Her hips stuttered, her pussy clenching around him hard enough he cursed again.
âThatâs it. There you go.â His words turned rough, but his tone dripped with pride. âMy nasty girl, fuckinâ herself dumb on Daddyâs dick.â
Her head fell forward onto his shoulder, moans spilling into his ear. He whispered filth right back, every syllable sinking into her bones.
âDonât run. Donât you dare run from it. Take every inch, let it break you open.â
Her orgasm ripped through her. It hit sharp and sudden, wringing her out, her whole body tensing as she clamped down around him. Her cry was muffled against his skin, but he felt it in his chest, raw and desperate.
Elijah held her there, letting her grind through the aftershocks, her pussy spasming around his length. His thumb kept circling, slow and punishing, wringing every last spasm out of her until she collapsed against him, drenched in sweat, trembling and fucked-out.
He kissed the side of her head, lips dragging over her damp hair. His voice was quiet, ragged, but still unshakably in control.
âGood girl. Thatâs Daddyâs girl.â
She sagged against him, catching her breath, but he wasnât done. His dick still throbbed hard inside her, wet with her release, and he shifted his hips just enough to remind her of it.
When she tried to push back up, he gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes again.
âYou think we stoppinâ here?â His smirk was dangerous. âNah, baby. I told youâIâm takinâ my house back. One room at a time.â
Her body still quivered, but heat sparked again in her belly at his words. She started to ask which room was next, but he was already moving, lifting her effortlessly from his lap.
Her bra strap slipped down again, hanging useless. Her dress lay forgotten in the kitchen. Now it was just her in her bra, him in nothing, and the shadowed house around them.
He carried her a few steps before setting her down, lips brushing her ear.
âTashaâs room,â he said, the words hot and low. âYou ready to play with fire for real?â
Her breath caught at the sound of it. He didnât wait for her answer. Elijah hooked an arm under her thighs and lifted her like she weighed nothing, his other hand pressing firm into her back to keep her close. The suddenness made her gasp, her arms clutching around his neck as her legs dangled bare against his side.
The house seemed to lean in with them. Every creak of the floorboards under his feet was a shot of adrenaline through her chest. Every shadow at the edge of the hallway felt like it might suddenly lurch forward, exposing them, dragging their secret out into the open.
He carried her slow on purpose, each step deliberate. His body was heat and muscle wrapped tight around her trembling limbs, She could feel his dick, still heavy and wet from her, nudging against her hip when he shifted her higher in his arms.
âYou hear that?â he whispered against her hair, the rumble of his chest vibrating against her ribs.
She froze, holding her breath. Somewhere upstairs, the old pipes groaned, water moving through them like a warning.
Her nails dug into his shoulder. âWhat ifââ
âShhh.â His hand slid lower, squeezing the curve of her ass until she gasped into his neck. âAinât nobody cominâ. Just the house watchinâ. And I told you alreadyâthis house is mine. Every room. Every corner. Tonight, you just along for the ride.â
Her skin burned at his words. She buried her face in the crook of his neck, not to hide but to inhale himâsoap, sweat, and the faintest hint of smoke still clinging to his shirtless skin.
The hallway stretched forever, lined with doors she knew by heart. Family photos blurred in the dark, snapshots of birthdays and graduationsâreminders that this wasnât where this should be happening, that every step took them deeper into the forbidden.
Her pulse thundered in her ears. His grip only tightened.
Halfway down the hall, the floor groaned loud under his weight. They both stilled instantly, breath caught like a snapped string.
Silence.
Her wide eyes flicked up to his, searching, terrified and thrilled. He smirked, the corner of his mouth curling wickedly as if the risk itself made him harder. He shifted her again in his arms, deliberately grinding his swollen length against her thigh.
âYou feel that?â he murmured, lips brushing the shell of her ear. âThatâs what danger does to me. Makes me want you deeper.â
Her thighs clenched around him. She was trembling, but it wasnât fearâit was hunger sharpened by risk.
They moved again, slower now, each step careful. His bare feet whispered against the carpet. The house exhaled in shallow creaks and sighs, old wood settling as if listening in.
When they reached her best friendâs door, he stopped. The handle gleamed faint in the dim light from the hall window, waiting, daring.
He set her down on her feet, her legs shaky from the weight of the moment. His body stayed pressed into hers, towering, caging her between the door and his chest.
One large hand slid down her arm until his fingers laced with hers, guiding her hand to the knob.
âYou gonâ open it?â he asked, low and taunting. His lips grazed her jaw. âOr you want me to break every rule for you?â
Her hand trembled on the knob, but she turned it anyway. The latch gave with a soft click, the door swinging open into the hush of Tashaâs bedroom.
The air felt different hereâsharper, charged, like even the shadows knew they were trespassing. Posters still clung to the walls, perfume bottles lined neatly on the dresser, a half-open notebook on the desk. It smelled faintly of vanilla lotion and fresh laundryâinnocence, untouched.
Elijah nudged her inside with his body, then shut the door behind them with a quiet finality.
âYou understand where we are?â he asked, his voice rough velvet, hand at the back of her neck steering her deeper into the room.
Lyric nodded, breath shallow.
âSay it.â
She swallowed hard. âTashaâs room.â
The way his mouth curved at her answer made her knees weaken.
âThatâs right.â He pressed her against the dresser, the sharp edge biting into the small of her back. âThe one place I shouldnât even be thinkinâ about you. And the one place Iâm gonna make sure you never forget.â
He caught her chin between his fingers, tilting her head back. His kiss was hard, consuming, teeth grazing her bottom lip until she whimpered into his mouth. His other hand tugged at the straps of her bra, sliding one off her shoulder, then the other. The straps slipped down her arms slow, deliberate, like he was unwrapping something sacred.
âBeen waitinâ on this,â he murmured, pulling the clasp loose with a snap. The bra gave way, falling into his hand before he tossed it to the floor. Her breasts spilled free, nipples tight in the cool air.
Elijah groaned low, his palm cupping her, thumb brushing over the hardened peak until she shivered.
âYou walkinâ through my house with no panties, little dress on, bra just begginâ to be torn off.â His voice was pure filth, but beneath it burned something heavier. âYou knew exactly what you wanted when you showed up.â
Her back arched into his touch. âI wanted you.â
That was all it took for him to snap. He lifted her onto the dresser, shoving her thighs open until the wood dug into her skin. His mouth found her breast, teeth grazing, sucking until she cried out, his beard scraping soft against her flesh.
The room itself seemed to recoil and lean in all at onceâher best friendâs bed in the corner, the walls decorated with secrets she was betraying, the sheer wrongness of it all making every touch hotter, filthier.
He pulled back, eyes burning into hers. âYou realize this is the one place you never speak on. This stays buried. Not a whisper.â
Lyric bit her lip, nodding quick. âI know.â
âYou better.â His hand wrapped around her throat, holding her steady as he lined himself against her slick heat. He pushed in slow, inch by inch, stretching her until her nails clawed into his shoulders.
Her gasp was sharp, broken, as he bottomed out, his hips flush against her.
âThis room,â he whispered, grinding deep, âainât hers tonight. Itâs mine. And so are you.â
The dresserâs edge pressed into the backs of her thighs as Elijah lifted her, setting her bare ass against the cool wood. The straps of her bra slid loose, dangling at her elbows, and her breasts brushed against the hard plane of his chest.
He held her steady with one arm braced across her waist, his other hand guiding himself lower. The thick heat of him rubbed against her folds, slick already from the kitchen and the couch, dragging slow enough to make her shiver.
âLook at you,â he muttered, eyes locked on hers, his voice dropping into a growl. âAlready wet for meâalready begginâ without sayinâ a word.â
Her thighs quivered as the swollen head of his dick teased her entrance. He didnât push in right away; he slid against her, up and down, letting the friction drag over her clit until she gasped, nails biting into his shoulders.
âElijahââ
He cut her off with a kiss that was more bite than anything, his teeth catching her bottom lip as his hips surged forward. The head breached her slow, stretching her open, and she cried out into his mouth, every nerve snapping alive.
He pulled back just enough to watch her face when he sank deeper. Inch by inch, until her eyes rolled back, until her mouth fell open and her back arched off the dresser.
âYeah,â he rasped, holding her jaw with one hand, keeping her locked in place. âTake it all. Every damn inch. Thatâs itâgood girl.â
Her legs wrapped around his waist on instinct, ankles locking at his back as he bottomed out, their bodies flush. The dresser rattled against the wall with the force of his final push, the mirror above trembling in its frame.
Lyric gasped, the sound sharp and broken. âSo deepââ
âThatâs the point.â He pulled out slow, making her feel the drag of every inch, then drove back in harder, sharper. âGonna remember this every time you walk in her room. Gonna sit on her bed and feel me still inside you.â
Her head tipped back against the mirror, breath fogging the glass as he set a brutal, deliberate rhythm. Not fastânever fastâbut controlled, relentless, designed to make her feel every stroke. The dresser groaned beneath them, bottles clinking with each thrust.
His hand slipped up, closing firm around her throat, his thumb brushing the flutter of her pulse. âSee yourself?â he demanded, nodding at their reflection. âSee how you look when youâre mine? Thatâs my pretty little slut starinâ back at us.â
Her moans broke against his grip, choked and desperate, but her eyes never left the mirror. The sight of him behind herâbroad shoulders, jaw clenched, every muscle in his body strainingâsent her spiraling.
Her orgasm ripped through her before she could brace for it. Her body clenched around him so tight he hissed through his teeth, his rhythm stuttering as she shook against him.
He fucked her through it anyway, each thrust harsher, messier, until tears streaked her cheeks and her legs trembled around his waist.
âSay it,â he ordered, voice rough, fucking her so deep she could barely speak. âSay this roomâs mine now.â
Her voice cracked on the words, ragged but clear enough. âItâs yours. All yours.â
The dresser rattled once more as he slammed into her, the sound loud in the stillness of the house.
When he finally pulled out, slick dripping down her thighs, she sagged against him, chest heaving. Elijah caught her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes in the mirror one last time.
âYou think we done?â His voice was low, a rough scrape that vibrated through her bones.
Her lips parted, but she didnât answer. Didnât need to.
He didnât give her the chance anywayâhe hauled her off the dresser with a grip bruising her waist, spun her, and half-walked, half-dragged her to the bed that sat just feet away. The mattress dipped as he pushed her onto it, her body bouncing lightly against the soft quilt, hair spilling wild over the pillows.
The air in the room seemed thicker now, charged, as if the walls themselves knew what they were about to bear witness to. The mirror across from the bed reflected the both of them: him looming, her sprawled, bra dangling loose around her elbows.
âOpen those legs,â he ordered, stripping the last of the fabric from her body. Her bra hit the floor with a muted thud, leaving her bare in the low lamplight.
She obeyed, thighs falling apart with a trembling surrender that lit a fire in his chest. He crawled onto the bed after her, his weight sinking into the mattress, broad frame caging her in.
Elijah gripped her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the bed until her knees bent awkwardly, feet flat against the sheets. His dick, heavy and slick, pressed back against her folds.
âYou know where you are, baby?â His words ghosted against her mouth.
She swallowed, her voice a bare whisper. âHer bedâÂ
âThatâs right.â His hips rolled forward slow, the blunt head teasing her entrance again. âAnd you lettinâ me fuck you here says what? Say it.â
Her eyes fluttered as he pushed an inch inside, stretching her raw all over again. âItâs yours,â she gasped.
âSay it louder.â He shoved deeper, half his length buried in one stroke.
âItâs yours!â she cried, nails sinking into his back.
That was all he needed. His forearm braced against the mattress beside her head as he drove the rest of the way in, bottoming out with a groan that shook his chest. The bed groaned too, the headboard bumping faintly against the wall, every thrust a punctuation mark carved into the silence.
Her voice broke in short, desperate cries, each one louder than the last. He swallowed them with his mouth, biting her bottom lip until it bruised, tongue sliding in deep.
âLook at me,â he demanded, pulling back enough to frame her face with one big hand. His thrusts slowed, brutal in their depth, forcing her to feel the drag of every inch. âEyes on me. Donât you dare close âem.â
Her gaze clung to his, wide and shimmering.
âThatâs it,â he praised, a dark rumble against her ear. âGood girl. My nasty little good girl, lettinâ me claim this bed the way I just claimed the dresser.â
She arched beneath him, body breaking open with another climax, her pussy tightening so hard around him he hissed, his rhythm faltering for the first time. He ground deep, grinding her down into the mattress, refusing to let up until her back bowed, her scream muffled against his shoulder.
Elijah slowed then, his strokes measured, dragging the moment out, keeping her trembling beneath him. He kissed her throat, her jaw, her ear, each touch a contrast to the ruthless grip of his hand fisting the sheets.
âThis roomâs mine now too,â he told her, voice steady, possessive, final. âEvery time you step in here, you gonâ think about me in this bed, balls-deep, makinâ you beg.â
She whimpered, nails scratching down his spine in helpless agreement.
And then, finally, he pulled out, leaving her messy and shaking on the sheets that didnât belong to her, the air sharp with sex and sweat and the dangerous knowledge of what theyâd just done.
He stood, grabbing her by the wrist, pulling her up onto unsteady legs.
âHallway,â he said, voice rough but calm, as if there had never been a choice.
Elijah didnât let her get her footing. He dragged her off Tashaâs bed with one hand clamped around her wrist, the other steadying the small of her back, as if she might try to run. Her legs wobbled, thighs still slick and trembling, but he walked her anyway, guiding her toward the door like she was something he owned.
The air in the hallway was cooler, still smelling faintly of lemon cleaner and candle wax. The shift in temperature hit her skin sharpâher body bare, flushed, marked from his mouth and his hands. She shivered, but it wasnât cold that made her tremble.
The house was too quiet. Every step felt like a betrayal, the soft creak of the floorboards under their weight like a warning. If Tasha walked in now, if anyone walked in, there would be no hiding what they were doing.
Elijah stopped halfway down the hall and pressed her against the wall, hard enough that a picture frame rattled above her head. His body caged hers, chest to chest, his breath heavy and hot against her ear.
âYou hear that?â he whispered, low and dangerous.
She swallowed. âWhat?â
âThe house. Listen close. Floorboards groaninâ, walls breathinâ. This place knows what we doinâ.â His hand slid up, wrapping around her throat with a slow, steady squeeze. âYou think you gonâ walk these halls again without rememberinâ me pinning you right here?â
Her breath hitched, her back arching off the wall when his hips pressed forward. His dick, heavy and leaking, slid between her thighs, grinding against her swollen folds. He didnât push in. Not yet. He just moved slow, controlled, letting the friction drag against her clit until her knees threatened to buckle.
She whimpered, biting down on her lip to keep quiet.
âUh-uh.â He caught her mouth with his thumb, tugging her lip free. âDonât hide it. You know I like hearinâ how bad you need me.â
Her hands clutched his shoulders, nails digging crescent moons into his skin as his hips rocked harder, grinding against her until wetness slicked down his shaft.
âElijahââ she gasped, voice breaking.
He smiled dark against her cheek. âSay it again.â
âElijah,â she whispered, louder this time, trembling.
âThatâs it.â He kissed her jaw, her neck, biting just enough to make her cry out. âMy name in this hallway. Markinâ it like the rest.â
Her thighs tightened around him, desperate for more, but he held himself back, keeping the tension taut like a wire. His forearm pressed across the wall beside her head, caging her, his free hand sliding down to grip her ass, pulling her tighter against him.
âYou want me to fuck you here, donât you?â he asked, voice low, filthy.
She nodded frantically.
âToo bad,â he growled, pulling back just enough to make her whine. âThis wall donât get to have you. Not yet.â
He shoved his dick harder between her thighs, grinding rough, teasing himself on the brink of losing it. His forehead pressed to hers, sweat dripping down his temple.
âFuck,â he muttered, almost to himself. âYou gonâ make me break my own rules.â
Her hand slid down between them, wrapping around his shaft, slick with her wetness. She guided him toward her entrance, tip pressing, just barely breaching.
âElijah, pleaseââ
He snarled, grabbing her wrist and slamming it back against the wall above her head. âNot here,â he snapped, voice ragged. âYou donât get fucked against no damn hallway wall. Not you.â
Her breath stuttered, eyes wide, pupils blown. The refusal was its own form of possession.
Instead, he kissed her again, bruising, stealing her breath as his hips rocked one last time, grinding her pussy raw against him without giving her the satisfaction of more. She sobbed against his mouth, needy, undone.
Then he pulled back, chest heaving, his hand wrapping around her throat one more time.
âMy room,â he said, voice final. âThatâs where I wreck you. Thatâs where I finish what I started.â
And without waiting for her answer, he lifted her arms under her thighs, her body pressed against his chestâand carried her down the hall, each step sealing the promise.
The door shut behind them with a quiet click that carried the weight of a slammed gate. Elijah didnât put her down. He stood there in the middle of his bedroom, bare chest heaving, Lyric in his arms like she was something he refused to let the world touch.
The space was darker than the rest of the house. No streetlamps bled in here. The only glow came from the thin crack in the blinds, slicing his dresser, the foot of his bed, the pictures on the wall into narrow strips of silver. His room smelled like cedar and smoke and himâwarm, masculine, lived-in. It was a place no one but him ever belonged in.
Now she did.
Her breath caught when his hands tightened under her thighs, holding her up, pressing her back to the wall just beside the door. His forehead leaned against hers, his voice low and rough, softer than it had been all night, but heavier too.
âYou feel that?â His hips rolled, the thick head of his dick nudging against her pussy lips, sliding through the slick sheâd already drenched him with. âEvery step we took⌠every room in this house⌠all of it leadinâ here.â
Her hands cupped his jaw, nails scratching through his beard. She nodded, unable to trust her voice.
âThis my room,â he whispered, grinding again, slow, deliberate, pulling a gasp from her throat. âAinât nobody else ever seen me in here like this. Ainât nobody else ever gonâ know how Iâm about to fuck you.â
She whimpered, head tipping back, giving him her throat. He kissed the line of her neck, soft, reverent, then bit down until she moaned ragged.
âYouâre mine in every hallway, every corner of this house,â he said, voice a dark vow against her skin. âBut here? Here, you donât just belong to me. You become me.â
Then he slid into her.
The push was slow, controlled, but her body was so slick, so ready, that he bottomed out with one deep thrust, his forehead dropping to hers when her gasp broke into a cry.
âElijahââ
âYeah,â he groaned, voice cracking. âSay it. Call me while Iâm buried in you.â
Her arms locked around his shoulders, nails dragging across his back as he started to moveâgrinding her up the wall, pulling her down onto him, fucking her with nothing but the raw power of his arms and his hips.
She sobbed against his mouth, wrecked already, and he kissed her through it, messy, open-mouthed, tongues clashing.
âPoison and cure,â he whispered into the kiss. âThatâs what you are, girl. Wreckinâ me while I ruin you.â
Her thighs tightened around his waist, her moans getting higher, faster. His rhythm picked up, each thrust rattling the wall, her back thudding against it in time.
âYou gonâ break me,â she gasped, eyes wide, lips swollen.
He looked at her like a man whoâd already broken and didnât care. âGood. Then we break together.â
He spun with her still in his arms, walking them both the short distance to his bed. He laid her down on it finally, his chest heaving, sweat dripping down his temple.
âOn all fours,â he ordered, voice shredded and low.
She moved without hesitation, hair falling forward, ass arched high for him. He knelt behind her, dragged the wet head of his dick across her folds, and slammed into her with a groan so guttural it shook her bones.
The bedframe groaned under the force of his thrusts. His hand pressed into the small of her back, the other tangled in her hair, yanking her head back so her cries filled his room.
âLook at you,â he panted, every word timed to his thrusts. âIn my bed. Screaminâ my name. Ruined for anybody else who ever think they can touch you.â
Her answer was a strangled moan, body shuddering under him, pussy fluttering tight around his length.
âYou mine now,â he snarled, voice breaking with it. âNo matter who lives under this roof, no matter what you try to tell yourselfâthis house gonâ always belong to you. âCause Iâm always gonna be buried inside you.â
Her orgasm ripped through her first, violent and unstoppable. She clawed at the sheets, screaming into the mattress as her body convulsed, her pussy milking him hard.
He didnât last another stroke. With a final ragged thrust, he pulled out just enough to spill across her ass and thighs, hot, messy, marking her skin. Then he shoved it back inside, grinding deep, making sure every drop stayed with her.
She collapsed forward, trembling, body wrecked and shining in the silver light.
Elijah hovered above her, chest pressed to her back, lips brushing her ear.
âYouâll remember this bed every time you close your eyes,â he whispered, voice softer now, but dangerous still. âYouâll remember me inside youâalways.â
And with that, he kissed her shoulder, slow and tender, the softest touch after the hardest ruin.
The room had gone quiet but for the sound of their breathing. The walls still carried the echoes of what theyâd done, the bed frame still shuddered in protest under their weight, but between themâsilence. The kind of silence that felt alive.
Lyric lay half-sprawled across the sheets, her body humming, slick thighs trembling where heâd left his claim. Her hair clung to her damp skin, wild strands tangled across her cheek. She looked wrecked, undone, exactly how he wanted herâbut she also looked at peace.
Elijah leaned on one elbow beside her, sweat beading along his temple, his chest rising heavy. He dragged the back of his knuckles down her spine, slow, reverent, like he was tracing out ownership in invisible ink.
âYou feel me still?â he asked, voice low, almost calm now, the fire banked but not gone.
Her eyes fluttered open. She swallowed, lips raw, voice a rasp. âI donât think Iâll ever stop.â
That hit him harder than her body ever could. For a second, his hand stilled on her skin, jaw tight, like heâd let her see something he wasnât ready to admit.
He recovered with a crooked smirk, but his tone gave him away. âGood girl. Thatâs what I want.â
He reached down, tugging the sheet up to cover her, but not before pressing a kiss to the small of her back. Soft, almost delicateâcontradiction to everything theyâd just done.
Lyric rolled to face him, tucking into his side. For a moment, she didnât say anything. She just stared at him, her hand splayed across his chest, fingers brushing the thud of his heartbeat. The weight of it all pressed in: whose bed this was, whose house theyâd just burned down room by room, who might walk in tomorrow and sit at this very kitchen table, never knowing.
âElijahâŚâ she whispered, unsure if she meant it as a question, a confession, or a warning.
He turned his head, met her eyes in the dark. His thumb swept across her bottom lip, gentle. âDonât think,â he said. âNot tonight. Tonight, you just remember who made you come apart. You remember whose house this is. You remember me.â
Her chest tightened, the words sinking somewhere deeper than she wanted to admit. She nodded, barely, then curled closer.
He wrapped an arm around her, possessive, pulling her in until her ear pressed to his heartbeat.
The night stretched, heavy and slow. Neither of them said what they were really thinking. Neither of them named what had just happened as anything other than what it was.
But the way she clung to him like sleep wouldnât take her unless he held her, and the way he kissed the top of her hair before letting his eyes closeâthose things said everything.
The house was still thick with the scent of themâsweat, sex, the faint trace of her perfume tangled into his sheets. Lyric lay tangled in Elijahâs bed, body heavy, lips swollen, skin marked in places she wouldnât be able to hide tomorrow. Her chest rose and fell in an uneven rhythm, like she was still trying to come down but her nerves wouldnât let her.
Then the shrill ring cut through the quiet.
A phone. Not hers. His.
Elijah cursed under his breath, chest rising as he pushed off the bed. The mattress dipped, cold air rushing in where his body had been, and for the first time that night, Lyric felt the risk curl like ice in her veins.
He grabbed the sweat-darkened tee from the floor, pulling it over his shoulders as he stalked out. She listened to the sound of his bare feet on the stairs, the muted clatter of him searching the counter, the muffled sound of his voice answering.
She held her breath.
When he came back, the phone was still pressed to his ear. His face was composed, but there was a sharpness to it, a tension riding under his control.
âYeah,â he said, low, steady. âYou good?â
Lyricâs heart lurched when he slid back into the room, his eyes finding hers instantly. He didnât look nervous, but she knew. He was talking to her.
Tasha.
She shifted on the sheets, tugging them higher up her chest even though heâd already seen every inch of her. She felt suddenly exposedânot by his eyes, but by the weight of his daughterâs voice floating through the speaker.
âYeah, Iâm good, Daddy,â Tashaâs voice said, light with the buzz of background chatter. âJust letting you know Iâm not coming home tonight. Weâre crashing at Kaylaâs, probably wonât head back till tomorrow afternoon.â
Lyric froze. Her pulse thundered in her throat so loud she swore it carried through the phone. Elijahâs gaze didnât waver. He reached down, turned the phone face-up, and tapped it onto speaker.
Her heart stopped.
Tashaâs voice filled the room, bright, oblivious, dangerous.
âDonât wait up, okay? Promise Iâll text if anything changes.â
Elijah sat on the edge of the bed, casual in a way that made her ache. He rubbed a hand over his jaw, eyes cutting to Lyric with a look that was both warning and promise. His other hand smoothed over her bare thigh under the sheets, deliberate, dragging slow.
âYou grown,â Elijah said into the phone, voice calm as ever. âHandle your business. Just donât make a habit of leavinâ me an empty house.â
Lyricâs breath hitched. The double edge of itâhis voice low, steady for Tashaâs sake, but his hand slipping higher between her thighs, tracing the mess heâd left inside herâmade her whole body shiver.
Tasha laughed, clueless. âYeah, yeah. Love you. If Lyric comes by in the morning, tell her Iâll be home later.â
Lyricâs blood went hot and cold all at once. Her hand flew to her mouth, trying to hold back the gasp that almost tore out of her. Elijahâs smirk curved slow, dark, his thumb pressing harder against her heat under the sheets.
âMm,â he hummed, eyes locked on hers. âIâll do that.â
And then he hung up.
The silence that followed was louder than the phoneâs ring had been.
Elijah set the phone face down on the nightstand, then leaned in until his mouth brushed her ear.
âYou hear that?â His voice was gravel and smoke. âWe got till tomorrow afternoon. You know what that means?â
Lyricâs body clenched around nothing, her legs tightening under the sheet. She nodded before she could stop herself, wide-eyed, trembling.
Elijahâs chuckle was low, dangerous. He pulled the sheet down in one smooth drag, baring her completely again to the night air and his gaze.
âIt means this whole house is ours.â
The room still hummed with the echo of Tashaâs voice when Elijahâs hand slid from Lyricâs thigh to her wrist, firm but unhurried. She blinked up at him, lips parted, chest rising fast. He didnât say a wordâjust stood, tugging her gently until she had no choice but to follow.
The sheets slipped from her shoulders. She gathered them at first, instinctively trying to cover herself, but Elijahâs sharp look cut through the gesture. He plucked the fabric from her hands and tossed it back onto the mattress.
âNothinâ to hide here,â he murmured, voice still rough from everything theyâd done. âNot from me.â
The air shifted as he guided her a few feet away. Bare feet on wood, house creaking with each step. Lyricâs pulse stayed high, adrenaline mixing with the raw ache in her body, the reminder of how deep heâd already taken her. She watched the back of himâbroad shoulders, every muscle cut hard beneath his shirtless frame, jeans still riding low from when heâd yanked them on to answer the phone.
By the time they stepped into the bathroom, steam already curled from the edges of the glass shower door. Elijah reached past her to crank the handle. Hot water burst against tile, filling the room with a hiss.
âInside,â he said simply.
Lyric stepped in, the heat swallowing her whole, water streaming over her skin, plastering her hair to her back. Elijah followed close, shutting the glass door behind them. The space shrank, every inch filled with himâthe heat, the scent of soap mixing with the musk of their bodies, the sound of water hitting skin.
He reached for the body wash, lathering it slow between his hands before pressing them to her shoulders. The pressure was firm, massaging the knots she didnât even realize she had. His hands slid down her arms, across her ribs, circling her waist.
âYou feel that?â he asked, his mouth close to her ear, voice vibrating against her. âThatâs me takinâ care of whatâs mine.â
Her breath caught. She nodded, though her legs trembled.
His palms flattened across her stomach, slick with soap, before drifting lower. She pressed back into him without meaning to, the hard heat of his dick already nudging her ass, thick and heavy even before he moved.
âElijahââ
The name broke in her throat when his hand spread across her lower belly, guiding her into a bend against the fogged glass. Her palms braced there, steam curling around her arms.
âHold it right there.â His other hand gripped her hip, anchoring her in place.
The blunt head of his dick pushed between her folds, the slide made easier by the mix of water and the mess heâd left inside her earlier. He didnât ease in slow this timeâhe sank deep, all at once, filling her to the hilt.
Lyric cried out, forehead pressing against the glass. His forearm hooked around her chest, pinning her back against him.
âThatâs it,â he growled into her ear, his thrusts quick and hard, splashing water with every movement. âTake it. Donât run from it now.â
She was wrecked, trembling, her voice breaking against the tile. âElijahââ
His hand came up, palm flat against her chest, forearm locking her tighter to him, his dick buried so deep she swore she could feel him in her heartbeat. His mouth grazed her temple, voice rough and low, not just filthy but carved from something rawer.
âYou think this ends when the water stops?â His words bled into her, thick with heat and warning. âNah, baby. You walk out that door, you still mine. You close your eyes at night, Iâm the one you dream. Every time you open âem, you gonâ remember thisâhow I fucked you into every corner of this house till there was nothinâ left untouched.â
She gasped, clenching hard around him, and it dragged his release out of him, a groan ripped from his chest as he spilled deep inside her, messy and unrelenting. He held her there, cock pulsing, cum leaking, water running slick over their tangled bodies.
For a long moment, he didnât move, just pressed his forehead to her wet hair, breathing her in like she was the only air left. His voice when it came was rough, almost broken, barely above the steamâs hiss.
âThis house ainât the only thing I claimed tonight.â
The shower beat didnât end when the water did.
Steam clung to the glass like a second skin, beading and sliding in slow trails while Elijah held Lyric up with the same hands heâd just used to hoist her, pin her, keep her together. The bathroom light was low; the mirror a fogged blur of two bodies fused at too many points to count. His chest pressed to her back, heat to heat, slick to slick. Her palms were spread on the tile as if the room might move and she had to steady it.
He was still inside her, buried to the root, his breath damp against the curve where her neck met shoulder. Every exhale grazed her like a secret.
âBreathe,â he said, voice roughened to gravel. He didnât lift his mouth from her. âYou hear me, Lyric? Breathe.â
She did, shaky at first, diaphragm fluttering against the solid plane of his forearm where it banded her waist. The water hissed its constant whisper. Somewhere beneath, the house clicked and settled like an animal in sleep.
Her thighs trembled. Not from fear. From the mess of it. From how deep he sat in herâstill thick, still pulsing, still an iron brand of a man who had decided to leave nothing for later.
âCanât⌠feel my knees,â she managed, a laugh and a gasp braided into one thread.
His answer was a low sound that might have been a chuckle if it hadnât rumbled so close to a growl. âGood. Then hold on.â
He drew back a fractionâjust enough to make her body yell, cells and nerves reaching for what theyâd learned in one night to needâthen surged home again. It wasnât a thrust so much as a promise hammered into place. The slap of wet skin on wet skin echoed off tile; the steam turned their heat into weather.
She reached back, fingers fumbling, until they found his hip. He was carved hard as a long fight. She dug in. He moved again. The rhythm wasnât fast. It didnât need to be. He set it like a heartbeat, like a metronome meant to keep time through a storm.
âListen to that,â he murmured against her ear, words blurring with water and want. âThat sound when I hit it right. That sticky, pretty sound. You gonâ hear that in your head when you try to sleep.â
âDonâtââ She swallowed, lips parting on a soft, helpless note when his hips rolled. âDonât talk like that.â
âWhy not?â He rocked again. Her breath hitched. His hand slid up, found her throat, didnât closeâjust heldâso she could feel the weight of his palm while he kept her wide for him. âBecause it makes you clench on me? Because I make you feel a little shameless?â
She tried to shake her head; he held her there easily, mouth at her jaw. âBecause Iâll never sleep again.â
He smiled against her skin. âWho said I wanted you rested?â
Her laugh was wet, wrecked, disbelieving. She felt the smile even as his hips found a new angle and her laugh tore in half. Sound bled into the steamâlittle catches, half-words, that sound people make when they realize their body can hold more than they thought.
He didnât rush her. He didnât let her drift either. He carried her right there, on the narrow line where sense and sensation argued about who got to drive.
âSay my name,â he said quietly.
She shook her head again, eyes squeezed shut the way people do when the light is too bright.
âLyric.â His voice threaded through the spray, low enough to be a vibration. âSay my name and let go.â
âElijah,â she breathed, and then said it again, louder, because it felt like the only thing she had left that was hers.
He held her with everything he hadâforearm across her ribs, hand anchoring her throat, body braced, legs plantedâand let her break on him. It was full-body, involuntary, mean with relief. Her knees gave; he didnât let her fall. The sound she made was the soft wail people think theyâll be too proud to let out until the right pair of hands proves them wrong.
âYeah,â he said, almost gentle, almost unbearably tender through the grit. âThatâs it. Thatâs my girl.â
She shook against him. He didnât pull out. He rode the aftershocks with her, not to wring more from her, but to make sure she didnât float away.
When it passedâwhen she came back to herself in a shower turned humid chamber, tile warm beneath her palmsâhe still hadnât let go. He kissed the side of her neck, slow. Kissed the hinge of her jaw. Kissed the back of her shoulder like it mattered.
âDonât move,â he said, and it wasnât a command. It was care.
He slipped from her, the loss a tender ache, then turned her in the circle of his arms. She let him. She wouldâve let him do anything in that moment because he hadnât just takenâheâd held. Heâd held when she melted and when she bowed and when she forgot what her name was. Heâd held like he meant to be the ground she could fall onto and the wall she could push against.
He tucked wet hair behind her ear. Water traced the line of her throat like a finger that belonged to them both.
âYou good?â
She nodded. It didnât say enough. The nod was the little word; the look she gave him was the novel.
âAgain,â she whispered, and then she laughed, because honesty sounded ridiculous spoken that plain.
His mouth crooked. âLater.â
âPromise?â
âPromise.â
He shut the water off. The world changed. The hiss died; the houseâs quiet came back like a held breath let go.
He toweled her off slow, like she was a ritual he wasnât rushing. Shoulders first. Arms next. The curve of her back, the weight of her breastsâhe didnât ogle like a boy and he didnât hurry like a man with something to hide. He moved with reverence and possession, like she was something he had every right to praise and every responsibility to care for.
She watched him watch her. It did something to the space behind her ribs.
He rubbed the towel over her thighs until heat bloomed back where the water had cooled it. When he knelt to do her calves and feet, she pressed a hand to the top of his head, fingers in the short-cropped hair, a tiny shake in the touch that had nothing to do with being cold.
âCome on,â he said, voice gone quiet again. He wrapped the towel around her, then another around his own hips by habit more than need, and led her out.
The bedroom felt larger now, the bed a dark bay in a warm harbor. He pulled the covers back, guided her into the center, and climbed in behind her. Bodies found those easy places they decide are made for them: the curve of his chest to her spine; his thigh to the back of hers; his arm beneath her head and the other draped over her like a lock.
Silence settled. Not empty. Full.
She drew lines on the back of his forearm with her fingertips. He tracked her path with his breath.
âWhat are we doing?â she asked into the dark. It wasnât a challenge. It was a confession that she cared enough to want a name.
He could have dodged. He could have made it a joke, or turned it back into heat. He didnât.
âTried to make it nothing,â he said, the words humming into the pillow, into her hair. âTried to be the man who keeps his lines drawn. But Iâm checkinâ my phone like a damn teenager. I hear you in rooms you ainât in. Canât sit in this house without thinkinâ about you in every room now. Thatâs not nothing.â
Her breath stuttered. She couldnât have smiled wider without crying too. âEvery room, huh?â
âEvery single one.â He pressed his mouth to her nape. âKitchen. Living room. Hallway. That was me being nice. You donât even want to know the rooms I ainât introduced you to yet.â
She laughed, soft and stunned. The sound folded into his chest. âYouâre insane.â
âProbably.â He caught her wandering hand, laced their fingers. âBut I ainât confused.â
âWhat about Tasha?â The name floated between them like a reminder that the world existed outside the bed. âWhat about⌠everything else?â
âWe donât do stupid,â he said, blunt truth in a low tone. âWe do careful. Respectful. But I ainât goinâ to pretend this ainât what it is just because itâs messy. You feel me?â He nudged her chin with his knuckles until she turned her face enough that he could see the wet glint of her eyes. âYou feel me, Lyric?â
She nodded. Then she said it. âI feel you.â A beat. âI feel you when youâre not here.â
His breath left on a sound that wasnât a laugh or a sigh. It was something you make when you realize the thing you hoped is true came from somebody elseâs mouth first.
âYou ever try not to text me?â she asked, the smallest smile on her lips.
âEvery day,â he admitted. âAlways lose that fight âround noon.â
âCoward.â
âYou like it.â He squeezed her fingers. âYou be waitinâ on it. Soon as that bubble pop up, you already smilinâ.â
She didnât deny it. âWeâre ridiculous.â
âSpeak for yourself. Iâm dignified.â
She snorted so hard he had to press his mouth to her shoulder to smother his own laugh. The bed shook. The room felt humanâtwo people stupid for each other in a world that would not make it easy.
He sobered first. âYou know I risked somethinâ tonight.â Not an accusation. Not even a warning. A simple fact that deserved respect.
âI know.â She rolled to face him, propping on an elbow so she could see him. The lamplight from the corner painted his cheekbone, his mouth, the lines a hard life and honest work carve into a good manâs face. âMe too.â
His hand slid to her face, thumb stroking the damp flare of her cheekbone. âI ainât riskinâ it for a phase.â
Her throat tightened around a truth that scared and satisfied her in the same breath. âNeither am I.â
He kissed her. Not hungry. Not soft. Something in between that said Iâm here in a language mouths learn when talking doesnât cover it.
When he broke it, he didnât move far. âYou tired?â
âNo.â She blinked. âYes.â She laughed at herself. âI donât know.â
His smile returned, smaller and more dangerous because it held patience. âThatâs alright.â
They lay like that a whileâlistening to the rainâs last fingers tap the gutter, to the neighborhoodâs hush, to the slow normalization of two fast heartbeats.
The only sound was breath â hers ragged, his low and steady, both of them straining to believe what theyâd just done in every corner of this house.
Finally, he kissed her once more. Not desperate. Not claiming. Just soft. A kiss that said stay in this moment, donât look ahead yet.
But her stomach betrayed her, a low grumble in the silence. Lyric groaned into his chest, mortified.
Elijahâs laugh was husky, still ruined at the edges from how hard heâd been fucking her minutes ago. âCâmon,â he murmured, brushing damp hair from her temple. âLetâs feed you before you pass out on me.â
He tugged on his sweats, handed her his t-shirt. It swallowed her frame, hem brushing mid-thigh, smelling like him already. She tried not to think about what it meant that she liked it so much.
The house was quiet when they eased into the hallway, Elijahâs hand firm at the small of her back. She felt the risk of it â bare legs, no panties, his shirt clinging to her in the cool draft â as if the walls themselves could judge. But he guided her down the stairs like he always walked her through fire: steady, unbothered, daring the house to speak.
The kitchen was half-dark, only the hood light above the stove glowing. He moved easily in the space, opening the fridge, pulling leftovers like it was any other midnight. Except it wasnât. Not with her perched on his counter in nothing but his shirt, thighs still tacky with his cum, watching him move like sheâd never get tired of it.
âYou always this domestic after youâŚâ She trailed off, biting her lip.
âAfter I what?â His smirk was sharp, dangerous.
She rolled her eyes, cheeks heating. âYou know.â
He leaned against the fridge, carton in hand, looking at her like he wanted to pin her again right there. âAfter I ruin you?â His voice was velvet wrapped around gravel.
Her breath caught, but she forced a laugh. âYouâre impossible.â
He set the food down, stepped between her legs. His hands bracketed her knees, spreading them until she had no choice but to feel the heat rolling off him. He kissed her â softer this time, almost reverent, as if the counter wasnât the same place heâd bent her hours ago.
âHungry?â he asked when he pulled back.
âFor food?â She teased, though her body answered otherwise, shifting against him.
âFor both,â he said simply. Then he fed her, lifting a fork to her lips, watching her take every bite like it meant more than it should.
They talked in low voices while the storm hummed outside â about nothing, about everything. Music. Work. The way Tasha had left the fridge stocked but messy. He teased her for being a picky eater. She teased him for acting like her plate was his responsibility.
But beneath the banter ran something heavier.
At one point, she looked up and caught him watching her too long. Not like she was trouble. Not like she was just temptation. Like she was something he hadnât meant to need and now couldnât stop.
âWhat are we doing?â she whispered finally, setting her fork down, her throat dry in a way food couldnât fix.
He didnât dodge. Didnât laugh it off. Elijah stepped closer, one hand sliding up her thigh, not for filth but for weight. For emphasis.
âWeâre past pretend, Lyric.â His voice was low, cutting through the hum of the fridge. âYou feel me in your phone when I text. You hear me when Iâm not in the room. Youâre in my head every time I walk through this house now.â He cupped her jaw, thumb dragging slow across her cheek. âThatâs not just a fuck. Thatâs a hold.â
Her breath stuttered. âAnd youâre okay with that?â
He bent until his forehead pressed to hers. âIâm too far gone not to be.â
Silence stretched â the kind of silence that makes or breaks. She leaned in first, kissing him. It was messy and sweet and dangerous, all at once.
When she pulled back, she whispered against his lips, âThen you better not let me go.â
His smile curved against her mouth. âNot a chance.â
They stayed there, in the kitchen glow, feeding each other forkfuls and stolen kisses, the storm easing into nothing outside. For the first time, it didnât feel like running or hiding. It felt like something beginning.
Something neither of them would be able to stop.

Part 2
Lyric hadnât planned to be here.
It started with a lazy afternoon, her best friend dragging her out for errands and then disappearing upstairs when they got backâmumbling something about a shower and a nap. That left Lyric downstairs, sprawled across the couch in her cutoff denim shorts and thin tank top, sipping lemonade that tasted more like melted ice than citrus.
She told herself she was just killing time. Just waiting. But the truth was, she noticed when the air in the house shiftedâwhen the quiet turned heavier, like someone had walked in who didnât belong to silence.
Elijah.
Most people called him Smoke, but Lyric had only ever heard her best friend call him âDad.â That was still strange to herâthis man with shoulders wide enough to block out the sun, with a presence that seemed to rattle doorframes, attached to the word Dad.
He came in through the back door, work boots heavy against the tile, filling the doorway like he owned more than the houseâlike he owned the ground it was built on. He didnât notice her at first, or maybe he did and just didnât let it show. Either way, Lyricâs eyes were already on him, sliding slow from his forearms to the line of his jaw.
âYou always walk heavy like that, Mr. Elijah?â Her voice carried, lazy but sharp, cutting through the hum of the TV. âOr you just tryna make sure nobody misses you?â
That made him glance up, finally locking on her stretched-out frame on the couch. His gaze didnât skim. It stayedâon the smooth line of her thighs, the rise and fall of her chest under cotton too thin to hide much. Not subtle. Not apologetic.
âAinât gotta try,â he said, voice like smoke itself, curling low. âYou hear me whether you want to or not.â
Lyric sipped her lemonade, lips wrapping around the straw slow, then let it clink back into the glass. âI hear you. Question isâdo you always stare this long too?â
He didnât move closer, but he didnât look away either. The pause stretched, weighted, like the kind that makes the air itself complicit.
âYou think too much,â Elijah murmured, tilting his head, eyes locked on hers. âDonât overthink it. Just feel it.â
The words dripped heat straight down her spine. Lyric tilted her head, mouth curving sly even as her pulse betrayed her. âCareful. You sound like you tryna start somethinâ.â
A low laugh broke from his chest, not loud, not kindâsomething heavier. âIf I was, little girl, youâd know. Believe that.â
Her glass wobbled when she set it down, her hand less steady than her face. He turned away before she could craft a comeback, boots thudding down the hall, leaving his presence pressed thick into the air.
Lyric leaned back against the couch, exhaling slow, lips pulling into a grin meant for no one but herself.
âFeel it, huh? Guess weâll see who feels who first.â
The air in the living room had weight now, heavier than when she first sank into the couch. Lyric scrolled slow on her phone, pretending distraction, but every sense stretched toward the sound of his boots crossing back from the hall.
He didnât stop moving at first. Just let his presence drag across the room as he headed toward the kitchen, his shadow passing over the edge of the couch.
âYou get real comfortable in other peopleâs houses,â he said, voice low, amused.
Lyric smirked without looking up. âMaybe your couch is just too soft.â
He chuckled, a deep, quiet rumble that rolled through the walls more than the air. His footsteps paused near the threshold, like he was giving her the chance to fill the silenceâor trip on it.
âYou talk like that to her too?â he asked after a beat.
Her head tilted, eyes lifting toward him, catching the way the corner of his mouth tugged with something half-playful, half-warning. âNo,â she said, leaning back, stretching one leg out along the cushion. âJust you.â
That pulled his full attention, heavy and unblinking. He leaned against the doorframe, broad shoulders filling it up like the house had been built around him. The heat of his stare pinned her where she sat.
âYou ainât scared easy, huh?â
âShould I be?â she asked, quiet but steady.
The edge of his laugh was sharp, more teeth than humor. He pushed off the frame and took two slow steps closer, close enough for her to see the faint sheen of sweat still clinging to his temples from whatever work heâd been doing before.
âYou keep throwinâ sparks like that,â he said, voice dropping, âyou gonâ see what catches.â
Lyricâs lips parted, but no words came. She let her gaze fall down his chest, then back up, holding it longer than she shouldâve. Testing him.
The corner of his mouth curved. âThatâs what I thought.â
He turned toward the kitchen like it was nothing, like he hadnât just shifted the floor out from under her. But the trail of his cologne and sweat lingered heavy, and she sat on the couch staring at the doorway, pulse quick in her throat, already wondering how long she could play this game before one of them stopped pretending.
The kitchen light was softer than the living roomâsâyellow, warm, spilling over black marble counters and polished wood cabinets. It was too clean, too still, like it hadnât been lived in much. The hum of the refrigerator filled the silence as Lyric followed the sound of his footsteps.
She hadnât meant to trail him, not really. But when her body rose from the couch, it felt like the decision had been made for her, as if her pulse tugged her along by a thread.
He was already there when she stepped through the archway, back to her, tugging a glass from the cabinet. The stretch of his shirt over his shoulders, the way his forearms flexed as he reachedâit was enough to make her toes curl in her sneakers.
âYou followinâ me now?â he asked without turning, voice steady as poured water.
âMaybe.â
The single word hung in the air, fragile and reckless.
He turned then, slow, holding the glass like it wasnât just water but proof he had the upper hand. His gaze landed on her firstâsteady, burningâbefore it slid down to the way her arms crossed under her chest.
âYou thirsty?â he asked, raising the glass slightly.
Her mouth curved, a soft almost-smile, one that gave nothing away. âDepends on what youâre offering.â
His laugh was low, a sharp scrape that caught at the edges. He set the glass down on the counter with a click and leaned back against it, arms folding across his chest. He didnât have to move closerâthe kitchen was small enough that his presence filled it.
âYou talk slick for somebody sittinâ in my house, eatinâ my food.â
âAnd yet,â she countered, lifting her chin just a little, âyou havenât told me to leave.â
Silence stretched again. He tilted his head, eyes narrowing just enough to cut. Then he pushed off the counter and stepped forward. One. Two. Each step deliberate until there wasnât much room left between them.
Lyricâs back brushed the counter edge. Her breath hitched, but she held his gaze, her heartbeat loud enough she swore he could hear it.
He dipped his head, close enough that the faint scent of soap and smoke tangled with her perfume. His voice was a whisper, rough at the edges:
âYou like this little game?â
She swallowed, throat dry, words catching. âMaybe.â
His grin was slow, dangerous, curling like smoke. He placed his hands on the counter on either side of her hips, boxing her in without touching her. âThen you better know somethinââŚâ His voice dropped even lower, chest brushing hers with each word. âGames donât stay games forever.â
Her lips parted, caught between a breath and an answer, but the words refused to come. Instead, her body leaned just a fraction into the cage of his arms, betraying her before her mouth could.
His eyes flicked down to catch it. Satisfaction sharpened his grin. âThatâs what I thought.â
The hum of the refrigerator deepened in the silence that followed, the air thick and pulsing. Lyric stayed still, pulse rushing like water in her ears, while Smokeâs presence bent the space around her tighter and tighterâlike sooner or later, one of them was going to break the tension in half.
The hum of the refrigerator lingered after he stepped back. Elijah didnât break her gaze right awayâjust let the space hang heavy, charged, before finally straightening to his full height and pulling his hands from the counter.
âYou know where the guest room is,â he said, voice steady again, like the moment hadnât happened. âDoorâs open.â
Lyric nodded, trying to look unbothered. But her hands were warm where they brushed against the counter, her pulse still skittering too fast in her chest. She pushed off and slipped past him, the brush of their shoulders sparking heat like static.
The hallway stretched long and quiet, walls lined with family photos she didnât stop to study. Her sneakers tapped soft against the hardwood until she reached the guest bedroom. She closed the door behind her, exhaling like sheâd been holding her breath since the kitchen.
It was a simple room: pale sheets, dresser pushed against one wall, a lamp casting warm light in the corner. She sat on the bed, legs crossed, palms pressing into her knees. From the outside, she knew she looked calm. But inside, her mind replayed the kitchenâhis arms braced on either side of her, the scrape of his voice when he leaned close.
âGames donât stay games forever.â
The line sank into her bones like a promise and a warning. Lyric leaned back on her hands, staring up at the ceiling, lips pressing together in something that wasnât quite a smile. She was young, sureâjust barely past twenty. But life had forced her to grow up fast, and sheâd learned early how to read between silences, how to hold her ground. That was why she didnât scare easy. That was why she hadnât stepped back in that kitchen, no matter how her pulse tried to convince her otherwise.
⸝
Elijahâs steps carried him down the opposite end of the hall. He paused at his daughterâs door, the faint sound of her breathing soft and steady behind it. He eased the door open, peeking in.
She was curled on her side in bed, a thin blanket pulled to her shoulder, her hair fanned against the pillow. Still asleep. He let the door rest against the frame but didnât close it all the way. For a moment, he just stood there, hands braced on his hips, chest rising and falling slow.
He wasnât blind to the tension sparking in his kitchen. Heâd felt it like a live wire under his skin, the kind of charge that didnât fade even when you walked away. And he knew betterâshouldâve let the silence drown it, shouldâve put more distance between them instead of closing in. But he hadnât.
His jaw tightened as he dragged a hand down his face.
Lyric was too young. Early twenties, still at the start of everything. But the way she carried herself⌠it wasnât naĂŻve. Life had carved sharp edges into her, the kind that matched his in a way he didnât want to think too hard about.
He shut her door softly and walked back down the hall.
The house was quiet again, but the quiet didnât soothe him. It just left him alone with the echo of her voice and the flash of her eyes.
The guest room light hummed faintly, throwing soft shadows across the pale sheets. Lyric lay sprawled on her back, one arm flung above her head, the other resting against her stomach. She stared at the ceiling, unblinking, her mind a restless loop of the last hour.
The kitchen. The way heâd leaned in, the counter boxing her in, his breath cutting the air between them. Elijah Smoke. Her best friendâs dad. A man who shouldâve stayed a shadow at the edges of her lifeâbut who felt impossible to ignore when he was that close.
Her lips parted, breath shallow.
She knew the boundary. Knew she shouldâve pulled back, shouldâve laughed it off, shouldâve walked away when his eyes lingered too long. But she hadnât. And now her body wouldnât let her forget it.
Her thighs pressed together, the friction barely enough to take the edge off. She let her fingers trail across her stomach, lower, testing herself. Just a touch, just a brush. Her body jolted anyway.
âDonât overthink it. Just feel it.â
The words echoed in her head like they were stitched into her skin. She dragged her bottom lip between her teeth, eyes shutting tight, her own hand moving slow as if daring herself to follow through.
⸝
Down the hall, Elijah paced the living room like a man trying to outwalk his own thoughts.
Heâd checked on his daughter againâstill asleep, oblivious. But it didnât ease the storm brewing inside him. He poured himself a glass of water, downed half of it, set it aside. Then picked it up again. Anything to busy his hands.
But it didnât work. The image kept replaying: Lyric at his counter, her chin tilted up, eyes sharp even while her body betrayed her nerves. The press of her shoulder when she brushed past him down the hall. The way she looked at himâcurious, steady, unafraid.
Too young, his mind warned. A line he had no business crossing.
But his body didnât listen. His jaw flexed, broad shoulders rolling tight as he exhaled through his nose.
She was temptation dressed soft, carrying herself with the kind of maturity that made it hard to remember the gap between them. And the worst part? He knew she was probably in that guest room right now thinking about the same thing he was.
Elijah braced his hands on the back of the couch, head dropping forward. A low curse slipped through his teeth.
He could feel the heat of it already, the pull in his chest that told him this wouldnât stay unspoken forever.
The house was too still. Too quiet. Elijah could hear the creak of his own footsteps as he moved down the hall, the low hum of the AC rattling through the vents. He wasnât even sure what pulled him thereâonly that his body moved before his mind caught up.
The guest room door was cracked. A sliver of light spilled across the floorboards.
He shouldâve turned back. Shouldâve walked outside, smoked a cigarette, driven to the corner storeâanything but this.
But then he heard it.
A soft sound, faint but sharp enough to still him where he stood. A whisper of breath, the catch of a moan muffled into the back of her hand.
Lyric.
Elijahâs chest tightened. Heat crawled up his spine, settling in his gut. He pressed a hand to the doorframe, head tipping forward. For a second, he told himself heâd leave. Just back away. Let her have her private moment.
Then she gasped again. Softer. Sharper. Her bed creaked under the faint shift of her body.
That was it. His control snapped.
The door opened slow, deliberate. She froze when she saw himâa deer caught in the amber glow of the lamp, hand still tucked between her thighs like she hadnât had time to pull it away.
Her lips parted, breathless. âMr. Smokeââ
âDonât stop.â His voice was low, gravel grinding against the quiet. His broad frame filled the doorway, one hand braced high, the other flexing at his side like it was itching to touch. His eyes burned into hers, steady and unflinching.
Lyricâs chest rose hard, her hand still caught where heâd found it. The defiant edge in her softened under the weight of his stare, nerves flickering, but she didnât move.
Elijah stepped inside, closing the door with a soft click that sounded louder than thunder.
He didnât touch her yet. Just stood close enough for her to feel the heat radiating off him, close enough for her breath to stutter. His gaze droppedâher flushed face, the slip of her tank top strap, the tremble of her thighs under her shorts.
His jaw worked once before he finally spoke. âYou gonâ lay here makinâ them sounds and think I ainât gonâ come see about it?â
Lyric swallowed, her throat tight. âI didnâtââ
âYou did,â he cut in, sharp but low, voice thick with something dangerous. He leaned down, one hand finally pressing into the mattress beside her hip, his weight tilting the bed. âAnd you wanted me to hear it.â
Her breath faltered, but her hand didnât move away.
Elijahâs lips curved into something between a smirk and a snarl, his voice dropping into a rasp that felt like it came from his chest alone.
âDonât overthink it, Lyric. Just feel it.â
The room seemed smaller now, the air heavier. Shadows stretched long across the walls from the single lamp on the dresser, and every shift of Lyricâs chest made the bed creak louder than it should have.
Elijah didnât move his hand from the mattress. He leaned over her, his presence swallowing the space, his shadow falling over her bare legs. The sharp scent of his cologneâsmoke, cedar, something darker underneathâwrapped around her like another set of hands.
âGo on,â he murmured, voice low, vibrating down to her bones. His eyes dragged over her hand tucked into the waistband of her shorts, the way her knuckles flexed as though her body couldnât decide whether to freeze or keep moving. âShow me how you touch what you think I ainât already claimed.â
Her breath caught, lashes fluttering, but she obeyed. Her fingers trembled as they slipped deeper, dragging through slick heat that made her thighs tense. A faint wet sound broke into the silence, obscene in how soft it was.
Elijahâs jaw flexed, his nostrils flaring as if he could scent her arousal in the air. He didnât blink, didnât look away.
Lyricâs eyes darted up to him, searching for softness, for mercyâbut found none. Only the weight of his stare, pinning her as surely as his body would have.
âMm,â he hummed low, dragging the sound like gravel. âAlready wet from playinâ with yourself. Or is it âcause Iâm standinâ here watchinâ? Which one is it?â
Her lips parted, a shaky exhale tumbling free. She tried to swallow the truth, but her hips gave her away, rolling up into her own hand.
âThat one.â His voice sharpened, pleased, like a wolf catching prey in its teeth. âYou nasty for me, Lyric.â
Her fingers worked faster now, slick gathering, the slide louder in the heavy quiet. Her head tipped back against the pillow, braids spilling wild, lips parting on a moan she couldnât bite down in time.
Elijah caught itâhe caught everything.
âThatâs it,â he rasped, leaning closer until his breath ghosted hot over her cheek. âDonât choke it down. Let me hear what you sound like when you think about me.â
Her thighs trembled, muscles locking as the pleasure built sharp, quick. Her eyes squeezed shut, but his voice caught her again, pulling her back.
âLook at me.â
It wasnât loud. It didnât need to be. His words dragged her eyes open, glassy and frantic as she met his steady, unrelenting stare.
Her fingers circled her clit now, fast, desperate. The wet slide of it filled the room, mixing with her broken breaths.
Elijahâs lips curved slow, dangerous. âThatâs a good girl. So pretty when you break for me.â
Her body arched, a soft cry tearing from her throat as she cameâhard, sudden, her hand jerking frantic against herself until she stilled, trembling, thighs clenching around her wrist.
Elijah didnât move back. His eyes stayed locked on hers, watching her ride out every wave, taking in the sweat sheen on her skin, the flush in her cheeks, the wet that coated her fingers.
When her hand finally stilled, he reached, slow and deliberate, wrapping his broad hand around her wrist. He pulled her slick fingers free, lifted them between them, and let his gaze cut through her.
âMessy little thing,â he rasped. His thumb pressed over her knuckles, dragging through her wet before he lifted her hand higher. His tongue flicked out, slow, obscene, tasting the fingers sheâd just had inside herself.
Her whole body jolted, breath stumbling out of her lungs.
Elijah groaned low in his chest, deep satisfaction rumbling like thunder. His eyes burned into hers as he licked her clean. âSweet as I thought.â
The silence after was suffocating, thick with everything neither of them saidâbut everything both of them already knew.
The room was too still after her climax, silence thick like a held breath. Elijah hadnât stepped back; if anything, the heat rolling off him felt closer now, wrapping around her skin like smoke. Lyricâs chest rose and fell uneven, lips parted as if she wanted to speak, but no words came.
He still had her wrist, her slick fingers warm in his palm, and neither of them moved to break it.
âElijahâŚâ she whispered, so soft it almost disappeared.
His head tilted, eyes dragging over her face like he was memorizing every flicker, every tremble. The sound of her saying his name like thatâhalf fear, half hungerâcurled something sharp in his chest.
âDonât say it like you scared,â he said, voice a low scrape. âYou call me like that, Iâm gonâ give you somethinâ to be scared of.â
Her breath hitched, the words crawling through her like heat. But instead of pulling back, she shifted closer. Their knees brushed. Her free hand lifted slow, almost shaking, until it pressed flat against his chest. She felt the hard muscle under his shirt, the steady thrum of his heart.
âElijahâŚâ she tried again, this time steadier.
His jaw flexed, teeth grinding as if he was holding back a growl. His hand slid from her wrist to her arm, dragging up until his palm framed her shoulder. His thumb stroked once, rough and tender all at once.
âYou know we ainât supposed to,â he muttered, so close his lips grazed her temple. âBut you sittinâ here lookinâ at me like you already made your choice.â
Her hand clenched in his shirt, pulling him a fraction closer. Her eyes flicked toward the doorâclosed, but flimsy, a reminder that his daughter, her best friend, was just down the hall. The risk made her stomach twist, her thighs press tight together again, but the thought of stepping away was worse.
The first kiss wasnât clean. It was hesitant, almost clumsy in how both of them leaned in at once. Their mouths brushed, broke apart, then crashed together again harder, hungrier. His beard scratched her chin, her lips, his tongue sweeping past hers like heâd been starving for the taste.
Lyricâs fingers fisted in his shirt tighter, and Elijah groaned into her mouth, a sound deep and low, like it had been caged too long.
He shifted, pushing her back gently until she lay against the pillows, his weight braced on one arm above her. His other hand dragged down her side, gripping her hip, holding her in place as if she might vanish if he didnât.
She gasped into his mouth when his hand slid lower, tugging at the hem of her shorts. Not pushing, not yetâbut testing.
âElijah,â she breathed, pulling back just enough to look at him.
His eyes burned down at her, searching, warning. âOne tug, Lyric. Thatâs all it take. You stop me now, or you donât stop me at all.â
The words wrapped tight around her chest, squeezing. She bit her lip, trembling, but she didnât move to stop him.
His hand slipped beneath the hem, palm rough against her bare thigh. Her nails dug into his shoulders, her own hand trailing down his chest, daring to slip lower. The bulge in his jeans was hot and heavy under her palm.
He groaned again, head tipping back as if her touch scorched him. âShit,â he hissed, grabbing her wristânot to pull her away, but to hold it there, pressing her hand harder against him. âYou gonâ make me lose every ounce of sense I got.â
Their mouths met again, slower this time, their tongues tangled, their breathing ragged. Clothes became something fragile between themâhis hand inching under her tank top, hers sliding under his shirt.
Her nails skimmed his skin, and he shivered, eyes dark as he stared down at her. âYou feel that? Every line you cross with me gonâ stay crossed. We donât go back after this.â
She nodded, throat tight, the forbidden weight of it all pressing heavyâbut her body only arched closer, desperate to fall further.
The sound of footsteps creaking faintly in the hall made them both freeze. Elijahâs hand stilled against her skin, his breath rough against her ear.
Neither of them spoke. The footsteps passed, fading toward the back of the house.
Lyricâs heart slammed, every nerve lit with danger and desire. Elijahâs grip on her hip tightened, his forehead pressed to hers, his voice a ragged whisper:
âSee what you do to me? Got me losinâ sleep in my own house, hopinâ my daughter donât walk in while Iâm two seconds away from ruininâ her best friend.â
Her lips brushed his, a reckless answer. âThen ruin me quiet.â
The silence after her whisper was a blade, sharp enough to cut. Elijah didnât move right awayâjust breathed against her mouth, heavy, unsteady, like he was trying to hold the line that had already vanished under their hands.
Then he kissed her again.
It was slower now, but no less desperate, his lips dragging over hers, tongues tangling in a wet slide that left her dizzy. His hand at her hip shifted, tugging her shorts inch by inch down her thighs.
She lifted her hips without thinking, and that was all the permission he needed. The denim peeled away, rough against her skin until it hit the floor. She was bare underneath, nothing hiding the heat between her legs.
Elijahâs breath caught. His eyes dropped, dark and hungry, before climbing back to hers. âYou knew what you were doinâ,â he murmured, voice husky. âWalkinâ âround my house with nothinâ under these.â
Her pulse fluttered wild at her throat, but she smirked faintly, defiant even under his stare. âAnd you kept lookinâ.â
His laugh was low, dangerous, more growl than humor. âYeah. I kept lookinâ. Still lookinâ.â
His shirt was the next casualty. She tugged it up, her fingers sliding along the warm stretch of muscle across his stomach, his chest. He raised his arms and let her strip it off, tossing it aside. The sight of him bare like thatâink across brown skin, broad shoulders, the raw weight of himâstole her breath.
Her tank top came next, slow, trembling hands pulling it over her head. She dropped it beside the bed, leaving her naked beneath him, her skin goose-pimpled from the cool air and his burning gaze.
Elijah froze, chest heaving, his hand hovering inches from her breast like he didnât trust himself to touch.
âFuckâŚâ he whispered, almost reverent. His thumb brushed the swell of her breast at last, circling until her nipple peaked tight. âYou gonâ be the death of me.â
Her laugh cracked soft in the quiet, nervous but hungry. âMaybe Iâll keep you alive if you keep touching me.â
That broke him.
Both hands covered her breasts, kneading rough, his thumbs rolling her nipples until she gasped and arched into him. His mouth followed, dragging down her throat, over her collarbone, teeth grazing before his lips closed around one peak, sucking until her nails raked down his back.
âElijahââ his name tore out of her, unrestrained.
âShh.â His voice was muffled against her skin, his mouth moving lower, kisses burning across her stomach. âQuiet, Lyric. You want the whole house to hear?â
Her thighs trembled, opening wider under him. He groaned, dragging his lips back up to her mouth, kissing her hard as if he needed to swallow every sound she made.
Then her hands slid lower, bold and trembling at once, brushing over the bulge in his jeans. His whole body jolted, hips pressing into her palm like instinct.
She worked at his belt with shaky fingers. He didnât stop her. Didnât help, eitherâjust watched her, eyes heavy-lidded, jaw tight, like he was testing how far sheâd push.
When she got it undone, she tugged at the denim. He hissed through his teeth, reaching down to shove them off with rough urgency until they pooled around his ankles. His boxers followed, stripped down in one sharp tug.
And then he was bare above her.
Her eyes dropped, widening, breath catching at the sight of himâthick, heavy, the tip flushed and wet. For a moment, everything stopped.
Elijah caught her staring, caught the way she bit her lip, and smirked, leaning close until his mouth brushed her ear. âScared?â
Her gaze snapped back to his, sharp and daring even with her body shaking beneath him. âNot scared. Curious.â
He groaned, forehead pressing to hers, their bare skin hot everywhere they touched. His dick pressed against her stomach, hard and throbbing, marking every breath they shared.
His hand framed her face, thumb stroking her cheek with rough tenderness. âWe right at the edge, baby. One more step and I ainât lettinâ you turn back.â
The words hung between them like fire. Lyricâs chest rose fast, her hand sliding up his back, nails dragging over skin, pulling him closer still.
âI know,â she whispered. âAnd Iâm still here.â
The weight of it sat thick in the roomâthe danger, the hunger, the closeness. Every inch of them was bare now, pressed skin to skin, but still teetering at the line neither dared to cross yet.
And the door just down the hall remained their razor-thin tether to reality.
The room was thick with heat, with silence sharpened by the thrum of their breathing. Every inch of them was bare now, pressed into the soft sheets of the guest bed, but neither moved for the longest momentâlike if they shifted too fast, the whole house would collapse on top of them.
Then Elijah kissed her again. Slow. Deep. A pull and drag of lips, tongue, teeth, until she melted beneath him. His hand moved, heavy and deliberate, sliding down her chest, down the curve of her stomach, until his thumb grazed the soft curls at her center.
Lyricâs breath caught. Her thighs parted on instinct, the forbidden weight of it hitting her all over again.
âShhh,â Elijah murmured against her lips, his voice low, gravel wrapped in velvet. âDonât make me cover that mouth, baby.â
Her smirk trembled, but it was there, daring him. âThen maybe you should.â
That broke something in him.
He kissed down her throat, licking a path across her collarbone, then lowerâher breasts, her stomachâtaking his time, leaving bites that burned. Her body twisted under him, hips shifting, a soft moan slipping out before she could choke it down.
âElijahââ
His hand pressed flat against her hip, holding her steady. He glanced up, eyes burning in the dim glow of the lamp. âQuiet now. Donât forget where we at.â
Then his mouth dropped between her thighs.
The first lick was slow, deliberate, from the base of her pussy up to her clit. Her back arched sharp, teeth clamping down on her lip hard enough to sting. She grabbed at the sheets, fists twisting in fabric, fighting to keep the cry locked in her chest.
Elijah groaned against her, the vibration dragging through her clit. âGoddamn, you sweet,â he muttered, almost to himself. His tongue circled, steady, then flattened against her, his beard rough against the tender inside of her thighs.
Lyricâs hand flew to her mouth, pressing down to smother the sound that broke loose anyway. Her legs trembled, closing in around his head, but he grabbed her knees, spreading her wider, pinning her to the mattress.
âYou gonâ let me taste you proper,â he whispered against her, hot breath fanning over slick heat. Then he sucked her clit between his lips, sharp and greedy.
Her moan cracked through the air. She slapped her hand harder over her mouth, shaking. Her eyes darted to the door. Just down the hallâher best friend, his daughter, sleeping.
âElijahââ it was half-gasp, half-warning, muffled behind her palm.
He lifted his head just long enough to smirk up at her, chin wet, eyes dark. âAinât nobody gonâ hear you if you do it right. Stay still. Stay quiet.â
And then he went back in.
This time, he slid two fingers inside her, slow, thick, stretching her open as his tongue worked her clit. She broke apart under him, every nerve lit. Her muffled cries filled the room, small, desperate sounds behind her palm.
Her thighs shook harder, pressing against his shoulders, grinding against his face despite herself. He growled low, the sound feral, vibrating into her clit until her vision blurred.
âElijahâoh my godââ she choked, voice cracking despite the hand clamped over her mouth.
âSay my name softer, baby,â he murmured, fucking her with his fingers, curling them just right. âI still hear you. I always hear you.â
Her orgasm hit like a storm breaking. Her back arched, her hand slipping from her mouth to clutch the sheets as her cry ripped free, sharp and breathless. She tried to bite it back, tried to swallow it down, but the sound filled the room anyway.
Elijah didnât stop. He kept licking, kept thrusting his fingers, dragging her through the high until she shook apart beneath him, her body slick and trembling.
When he finally pulled back, his beard was wet, his fingers glistening. He kissed her inner thigh, then climbed back up her body, his hand gripping her jaw, slick fingers smearing across her lips.
âYou taste that?â he asked, voice rough, eyes drilling into hers.
Her tongue darted out, trembling, licking his fingers clean. Her chest heaved. Her eyes burned into his like fire.
And all she could whisper, still breathless, still shaking, was: âDonât stop.â
The clothes were gone. All of them. Scattered somewhere on the floor like casualties. The only thing left in the room was skin and heat, the air thick with everything they hadnât said but kept circling.
Elijah lay back against the pillows, naked and heavy in the half-light, every line of him carved deep by shadow. His chest rose slow but hard, the tension in him vibrating through the mattress. His dick curved up thick against his stomach, already wet at the tip, throbbing like it was waiting on her.
Lyric hovered on her knees between his legs, breath shallow, hair falling loose around her face. The forbidden weight pressed down harder nowâher best friendâs father laid out before her, and still her body trembled with want instead of fear.
Elijahâs eyes tracked her, dark and burning. His voice cut low. âYou sure about this, baby? âCause once you put your mouth on meâŚâ His hand brushed along his own thigh, teasing the edge of a threat. ââŚainât no turninâ back.â
Her lips parted, but she didnât answer with words. Instead, she leaned forward, her breath warm against the head of his dick, tongue flicking across the bead of precum.
Elijahâs curse broke the silence, guttural and sharp. âShit.â His hand caught in her hair instantly, fingers tightening.
She pressed further, her lips sliding over him, tongue dragging the length as she swallowed him deeper. The stretch burned, tears prickling her eyes, but she kept goingâher hand wrapping around the thick base, stroking in rhythm.
âGoddamn,â Elijah growled, hips shifting once, sharp, before he forced himself to still. His grip in her hair tightened, holding her steady. âYou feel what you doinâ to me? You gonâ ruin me with that little mouth.â
Her moan vibrated against his shaft, and he hissed, the sound cut from his throat. His abs clenched, dick twitching deep against her tongue.
She pulled back with a wet gasp, spit trailing from her swollen lips down his length. âMaybe thatâs what I want,â she whispered, voice rough.
His eyes narrowed, hunger flaring. âKeep talkinâ like that, and Iâma fuck your throat till you forget what universe youâre in.â
Her smirk was shaky but bold, and then she sank down again, taking him deeper, gagging soft around the girth but refusing to stop. Spit slid over her chin, dripping onto his thighs, her hand twisting faster at the base.
Elijahâs head tipped back into the pillows, his chest heaving. He tried to stay still, tried to control the roll of his hips, but the slick heat of her mouth dragged him to the edge. âLyric,â he rasped, raw warning in her name. âYou donât even knowâfuckââ
Her nails dug crescents into his thighs as she pushed herself harder, her throat tightening around him. The sound of it filled the roomâwet, obscene, echoing like sin.
His grip snapped, dragging her head up with a sharp yank. His dick slipped from her mouth with a messy pop, spit and precum shining across her lips.
Elijah stared down at her, chest rising like a storm was caught inside him. âIf I let you keep goinâ, Iâm puttinâ it all down your throat.â His voice cracked, half-growl, half-prayer. âThat what you want?â
Lyric swiped her spit-slick chin with the back of her hand, eyes locked on him. âI want you to lose it on me.â
The look on his face thenâhalf fury, half worshipâpromised the line theyâd just crossed could never be undone.
Her words lit something reckless in him. Elijahâs jaw clenched, his grip in her hair brutal now, no hesitation left.
âYou want me to lose it?â His voice cracked into a growl, thick and raw. âThen open wide, baby. Take all of it.â
Lyricâs lips parted again without pause, her tongue curling out, greedy. She leaned in, swallowing him back down, wet heat wrapping him to the base.
âFuck,â Elijah hissed, hips snapping once, then again. Control shattered. His hand held her in place as his dick pulsed on her tongue, sliding deep in slow, relentless strokes. âJust like thatâdonât you dare pull back.â
She gagged soft, eyes watering, spit streaming from the corners of her mouth, but her hands anchored him, one stroking what her throat couldnât take.
The sight aloneâher on her knees, naked, mouth ruined for himâwas enough. His groan tore out of him as he spilled, hot and sharp, down her throat.
âSwallow,â he ordered, voice shaking with the force of it. His fingers dug into her scalp as he throbbed inside her. âAll of it. Donât waste a drop.â
Lyric obeyed. She swallowed hard, messy, the taste of him thick across her tongue. Some of it slipped past her lips, dripping down her chin in thin streaks. She wiped it with her hand, then dragged her tongue across her palm, licking it clean.
Elijahâs chest heaved, his body trembling under the strain of holding back too long. The sight of her swallowing him downâlicking like she wanted every last traceâmade his dick twitch again, still hard, still ready.
He yanked her up in one motion, spit and sweat slick between them as he pressed her body flush to his. His lips crashed against hers, tasting himself on her tongue, devouring her gasp.
âGood girl,â he rasped against her mouth, his voice like broken glass wrapped in velvet. âYou take my cum like you was made for it.â
Lyricâs thighs tightened around his hips, her body melting into his hold. She could barely breathe between his kisses, but her whisper cut through, shaky and daring: âThen fuck me like I was made for it.â
Elijah growled low, almost animal, and shifted, pushing her back onto the mattress beneath him. His weight caged her in, his dick slick and heavy against her stomach as he ground down slow, dangerous.
And with that, he slid lower, lining himself up to finally push into herâslow stretch, no barriers left.
Elijah didnât rush. Couldnât. Not with her laid bare beneath him, eyes wide and lips parted, her skin glowing in the low lamplight. Lyric was all trembling nerves and sharp want, and he wanted to brand every second into her body so sheâd never forget who touched her first like this.
He pressed the head of his dick against her slick entrance, heavy and swollen, sliding it through her folds first. Back and forth. Letting her feel the weight of him before he gave it. Each pass dragged a whimper from her throat, her hips rocking up to chase him.
âMm, you needy,â Elijah murmured, dragging his lips down the column of her throat, teeth catching delicate skin. His voice rumbled low, close to her ear. âDonât rush me. You gonâ feel every fuckinâ inch.â
Her nails sank into his shoulders, sharp crescents pressing deep. âPlease,â she whispered, her breath shaky, already breaking.
He smirked against her skin, positioning himself. And then, slowâagonizingly slowâhe began to push inside.
Lyric gasped, back arching as his dick stretched her open, the pressure sharp and hot. The slick from her earlier orgasm helped, but he was thick, and the pace made her feel every ridge, every vein dragging through her walls.
âBreathe, baby,â he coaxed, his forehead pressed to hers. His thumb stroked her cheek, tender even as his other hand pinned her hip down hard. âYeah, there you go. Nice ân easy.â
She exhaled in shaky bursts, whimpers spilling out with each inch he buried deeper. Her body fought to adjust, the sting blurring into a deep, molten ache. Her legs shook against his sides, thighs trembling as he filled her.
Elijah groaned low in his chest, biting back curses as her tight heat gripped him. âGoddamn. You tryna choke me out, huh? This little pussy so tightâŚlike it never wanted nothinâ but me.â
Her eyes fluttered, tears pricking at the corners from the intensity, but she didnât look away. That was what undid himâtheir eyes locked, her breath stuttering while he claimed her slow.
He stopped once he was halfway in, forcing himself to still. He kissed her jaw, her ear, whispering filth that hit like velvet knives.
âHalfway,â he told her, his voice ragged. âThatâs just half of me, baby. You sure you can take the rest?â
Lyricâs answer came with a desperate roll of her hips, her body trying to pull him deeper. âDonât stop. I want it all.â
Elijah groaned, dragging his lips across hers, swallowing her confession like it was meant for him alone. And then, with one long, claiming thrust, he sank the rest of the way in.
Her cry split the quiet, muffled quick as his mouth crushed hers.
He held there, fully inside, filling her so deep she could feel him everywhere. Neither of them moved. Just the pulse of his dick inside her, the tremble of her walls trying to adjust, the shared heat of two bodies finally snapping the line theyâd danced for weeks.
âShit,â Elijah rasped, his breath hot against her mouth. âYou feel that? Thatâs me inside you, baby. Ainât no cominâ back from this.â
Elijah didnât move. Not yet.
He had Lyric spread beneath him, her body stretched wide and trembling around the thick weight of his dick buried deep. Her chest rose in shallow bursts, breasts pressing soft against his chest, nipples peaked tight from the strain and the heat. Her lips parted, glossy from his earlier kisses, her eyes dazed but fixed on him like he was the only thing holding her together.
Every muscle in her body quivered, and still he held her pinnedâone hand wrapped tight around her thigh, the other gripping her jaw so she couldnât look away.
âYou feel that?â His voice was a low growl, vibrating through her chest where their bodies pressed. His forehead leaned to hers, breath hot. âThatâs what it mean to be filled proper. You been fucked before, yeahâŚâ His thumb stroked slow across her bottom lip. âBut you ainât never been handled. Not like this.â
Lyric whimpered, the sound raw, caught between ache and need. Her hips tried to shift, desperate for him to move, to give her friction. He only pressed her harder into the mattress, holding her stuffed on his length.
âNuh-uh,â he whispered, the grit in his tone filthy-smooth. âDonât run. Donât rush. You gonâ learn to sit in it. Feel all that stretch, all that weight. Let your body melt around me till it ainât fightinâ no more.â
Tears pricked her lashes, not from pain but from the overwhelm of itâthe stretch so deep it made her toes curl, the way his voice wrapped her tight as his body did.
âElijahâŚâ Her whisper cracked, needy.
His mouth brushed hers, close enough for the heat but not the kiss. âSay it again,â he urged, his hips rolling slow, grinding just enough to make her gasp. âSay my name while Iâm sittinâ this deep inside you.â
Her nails carved red crescents down his back, her voice breaking as she obeyed. âElijahâŚâ
âMm, thatâs it.â His teeth caught her earlobe, gentle but claiming. âYou sweet when you beg. But you ainât begginâ me to fuck yet. Not yet. You gonâ sit here stuffed till you canât take it no more. Till that mouth too busy moaninâ my name to talk back.â
She bit her lip, shaking her head, but her body betrayed herâthe slick pooling around him, wetness dripping down between her thighs, proof of how much she wanted more.
He felt it, grinned dark against her throat. âYou hear that?â His hips rocked again, shallow, making the wet squelch loud in the quiet room. âThatâs your pussy tellinâ on you. Leakinâ all over me. You ainât used to a man holdinâ you still, makinâ you take his time.â
Her eyes fluttered closed, overwhelmed. He gave her chin a gentle squeeze, forcing her gaze back to his.
âKeep âem open,â Elijah ordered, tender but firm. âLook at me while you cum sittinâ stuffed on this dick. Let me see you break.â
Her whole body shivered, his words hitting deeper than the stretch itself. She didnât even realize she was grinding her hips in tiny circles until he chuckled low, chest vibrating against hers.
âThatâs it, baby. Chase it. Show me how bad you need it.â
And with nothing but his weight holding her full, his dirty rhythm of words in her ear, Lyricâs walls fluttered tight around him. Her first orgasm hit hard, wracking her body as she gasped out his name, the sound muffled against his lips when he finally kissed her.
Elijah groaned, savoring the way she clenched, savoring the way her body gave in. âMm. There you go. First one donât even need me to move. Thatâs how I know I own every inch of this pussy already.â
Elijah held her through the aftershocks, lips brushing damp across her temple as her chest shuddered beneath his. Her first orgasm had wrung her out, left her soft and pliant, but he wasnât close to finished.
His hand slid from her thigh to her hip, grip steady, anchoring her as he finally pulled backâjust an inch, just enough to make her gasp at the loss. Then he sank back in, slow, deliberate, savoring the way her walls stretched around him again.
Lyricâs head fell back against the pillow, a broken whimper spilling from her throat. âOh, my Godââ
âNah.â His teeth scraped her jawline as his hips pressed flush, his dick bottoming out inside her, deep enough to steal her breath. âAinât no God in this. Only me.â
He rolled his hips slow, grinding deep, not thrusting yetâjust making her feel every inch of the drag, every pulse of his thickness inside her. The wet sound between them was filthy, slick from how much sheâd already soaked him.
âElijahâŚâ Her nails scraped down his shoulders, frantic, searching for something to hold onto.
He groaned at the sound of his name in her mouth, low and needy. âMm. Thatâs it. Say it like you mean it. Say it like you know whatâs inside you right now.â
His pace stayed slow, relentless, fucking her like he had nowhere else to be. Every withdrawal was an ache, every push back in a claim. Her pussy clutched around him like it already knew to hold on.
Lyricâs thighs trembled around his hips, toes curling against the sheets. âItâsâtoo muchââ
He kissed her hard, swallowing the words, tongue claiming her mouth the same way his body claimed hers. When he pulled back, his forehead pressed to hers, his voice cracked filthy and soft.
âYou feel that? Thatâs me teaching your body how to remember mine.â
Her eyes flew open at that, pupils blown wide.
âThatâs what I want,â he whispered, hips dragging slow, deep, and unhurried. âEvery time you close your legs after tonight, you gonâ feel me there. Every time you try to sleep, you gonâ hear the sound of me inside you.â
Her chest heaved, words dying on her tongue, her body answering for her as it clenched tighter around him.
âYou gonâ cum again,â he murmured, hand sliding up to cradle her jaw, thumb brushing her trembling lips. âNot fast. Not rough. Slow. Until you canât stand it. Until you know youâll never forget me.â
Lyric gasped, clung tighter, and obeyed. Her gaze locked to his as her body buckled beneath the pace he kept, each thrust deliberate, each roll dragging her closer to the edge.
And when the orgasm tore through her again, her moans shivered against his mouth, Elijah swallowed them like a vow, pressing it deeper with every push of his hips.
Her orgasm clung to her body like wildfireâshaking, rippling, leaving her pliant and wrecked beneath him. Elijah stayed buried deep, chest pressed to hers, his hand cradling her jaw as if she might slip away if he let go.
But then her pussy fluttered tight around him, greedy, and the last of his restraint cracked.
âFuck,â he growled against her throat, teeth grazing her skin. His grip on her hip shifted, harder now, fingers digging deep enough to bruise. âYou squeezinâ me like you tryna keep me here forever.â
He drew backâthis time not slow. His hips snapped forward, sharp and punishing, the wet slap of his thrusts filling the quiet room. The change punched a gasp out of her, her legs flying higher to lock around his waist.
âElijahââ
He cut her off with another brutal thrust, driving her into the mattress, making the headboard thud against the wall in rhythm. âNah, donât say my name like you scared,â he panted, sweat dripping from his temple to her chest. âSay it like you begginâ. Say it like you know who the fuck owninâ this body right now.â
Lyricâs nails clawed red trails down his back, her cries spilling uncontained now. He fucked her through them, hips pistoning deep, grinding the base of his dick against her clit just to hear her pitch climb higher.
Her breath hitched, caught between sob and moan. âPleaseââ
Elijahâs hand wrapped around her throat, not tight, but enough to tilt her head back so her eyes had no choice but to meet his. His stare burned through her, wild and unflinching.
âThatâs it,â he rasped, pounding harder, his thighs slamming into hers with each stroke. âDonât hide. Donât run. Take it. Take all of it.â
The wet slap of their bodies filled the room, obscene, her slick running down his length, smearing across his thighs. Her walls fluttered again, and he knew she was breaking. He doubled down, growling into her mouth as he thrust her closer to the edge.
âYou gonâ cum for me like this. Wrecked. Screaminâ into my chest so she donât hear you. You hear me?â
Lyricâs moan broke on his shoulder, her body arching up to meet the punishing pace.
And when she shattered, her cry muffled against his throat, Elijah didnât let up. He fucked her through the quake, every thrust stamping his claim deeper, every groan vibrating with the kind of hunger that wasnât ever gonna let her go.
Elijah barely gave her time to breathe before he flipped her. One hand pressing between her shoulder blades, he dragged her ass high and buried himself in one brutal stroke.
The sound that left Lyric was muffled against the sheets, a strangled cry she tried to swallow down. But Elijah wasnât having her hide. His hand tangled in her hair, yanking her up until her back arched, her chest heaving as he slammed into her from behind.
âLet it out,â he growled in her ear, the rhythm sharp, relentless. âAinât no hidinâ from this.â
Her nails clawed uselessly at the mattress, thighs trembling under the force of his pace. Each thrust slapped wet and hard, obscene in the dim quiet of the guest room. He bent her forward again, his dick dragging so deep she could feel him throb against her spine.
When she whimpered his name, Elijah pulled her upright, hauling her by the waist until her back hit the wall. Her legs instinctively wrapped around him, his weight pinning her there as he drove up into her.
The plaster rattled with every thrust. His teeth scraped her shoulder, his hand gripping her thigh so tight it burned. Lyric clung to him, half in desperation, half in surrender, her moans spilling freely now.
Thenâa sound.
Footsteps in the hall. A door creaking open. His daughterâs voice, soft, groggy: âDad?â
Lyricâs eyes went wide, her hand flying to cover her mouth. Elijah froze just long enough to press her harder into the wall, his chest shielding hers, his lips at her ear.
âDonât move. Donât make a sound,â he breathed, hips grinding slow but still inside her, keeping her stuffed and throbbing with the risk of being caught.
They waited, every muscle tight. The footsteps paused, lingered, then faded back down the hall. A door clicked shut again.
Lyricâs chest heaved, panic and arousal colliding so sharp it made her clench around him. Elijah smirked dark, dragging his hips deeper, slow enough to punish.
âSee?â he whispered, his teeth grazing her jaw. âEven with her right there, you still ainât lettinâ me go.â
Her moan broke against his shoulder.
He pulled her from the wall, carried her down onto the floor, laying her flat against the rug. His body pressed hers into the fibers as he fucked down into her, harder now, sweat dripping onto her skin. The slap of his thighs against hers filled the room again, reckless and raw.
âGonâ keep fuckinâ you everywhere till you canât stand straight,â he snarled, grinding so deep her toes curled. âBed, wall, floorâdonât matter. Long as you takinâ it.â
Her body answered with another quake, her cries muffled against his lips as he kissed her through the orgasm, never letting up.
Elijahâs rhythm turned feralâhips crashing into hers with a pace that shook the floor beneath them. His grip never wavered, one hand locked around her throat, the other holding her thigh wide open so he could watch every wet slide of his dick sinking in and out of her.
Lyricâs voice was goneâreduced to wrecked whimpers and sobs that spilled against his jaw every time he kissed her. Her nails dragged hot lines down his back, clinging like she was scared he might vanish if she let go.
âYou feel that?â he rasped, teeth gritted as he drove deeper, harder. âEvery time you squeeze around me like thatâyou tellinâ me itâs mine. Donât matter if you say it or not. Your body already chose.â
She cried out at that, her body trembling as another orgasm rolled sharp through her. Her walls clenched down, strangling his dick in pulses that made his hips stutter.
Elijah snarled, forehead pressed to hers, sweat dripping into the kiss he stole from her lips. âDonât run from itâfuckinâ take it. Take all of me.â
Her legs locked around his waist, dragging him deeper, her whole body opening under the weight of him. The friction built unbearable, every drag and grind sharper than the last.
âFuckââ she gasped, her eyes rolling back, the sound torn from her chest like confession.
He crushed her lips again, the words breaking against her mouth as his thrusts went ragged. âYeah, babyâyeah, give it to me. Cum with me. Right fuckinâ now.â
The dam broke.
Lyric shattered beneath him, body arching off the rug as her climax tore through her, a cry ripping loose that she couldnât contain. Elijah followed with a guttural groan, his thrusts slamming deep one last time before he spilled hot inside her, every pulse marking her with his release.
They clung together through it, shaking, their bodies locked and wet, neither willing to let the other go. The world narrowed to heat, breath, sweatâthe wreck of them written across every inch of the room.
When it finally ebbed, Elijah stayed buried inside her, his chest pressed hard against hers, lips brushing her temple with a softer growl:
âTold you. We gonâ break together.â
The room was thick with heat, air heavy with sweat and the scent of them. Lyric lay on her back, body still trembling, her breaths shallow as if she hadnât yet returned fully to herself. Elijah hovered over her, one arm braced against the mattress, the other stroking down the damp slope of her thigh.
âLook at you,â he whispered, voice low and reverent. His thumb traced the outline of her hipbone, slow, almost worshipful. âTook every bit of me and still so fuckinâ pretty.â
Her lips parted, a shaky sound slipping free. She turned her face toward him, but his gaze pinned her in place before she could answer. His eyes were softer now, heat dulled by something deeperâsomething that felt too much like care.
âYou did so good for me,â he murmured, brushing his lips across her temple. âHeld me like you was made for it. Like you knew I needed you just as bad as you needed me.â
Her throat worked, words caught there. Elijah kissed her again, this time at her cheek, then her jaw, until finally his mouth lingered at her ear.
âI got you, Lyric. You hear me?â His voice was silk wrapped around gravel, steady and sure. âYou safe with me. Always.â
Her chest ached at thatâmore than it shouldâve. She nodded, pressing her face into the warm curve of his neck.
But Elijah wasnât done. He shifted, his hand slipping down between her thighs again. She flinched at the tendernessâstill sore, still stretchedâbut he only gathered the wetness there and brought it up to her lips.
âOpen.â
She obeyed without hesitation, tasting him on his fingers again. The praise came immediately after, his voice thick with pride.
âGood girl. Sweetest mouth I ever touched. You gonâ keep me cominâ back for more.â
Her laugh was quiet, almost breathless. âYou already knew that.â
Elijah smirked, kissing her forehead. But the softness didnât erase the danger curling under his words. âThen you already know this ainât over. Not even close.â
The silence pressed in againâwarm, forbidden, and thrumming with risk. His daughter still asleep down the hall. The weight of what theyâd done hanging sharp in the air.
Elijah pulled the sheet over her body, curling in beside her, voice dropping into her ear like a promise carved in stone.
âNext time,â he murmured, thumb stroking her jaw, âI ainât stoppinâ till you forget every rule that told you I was off limits.â
And with that, the night left its door wide openâfor whatever came next.

Youâre a thick, soft little enchantress with perfect makeup, 6-inch heels, and a wand you bedazzled with rhinestones. Your tits jiggle when you cast. Your spellbookâs pink. And you donât have a care in the worldâuntil you go into the rotting catacombs and find him. An orc warlord cursed into stillness. The spell broke the moment your perfume hit the ward.

The dungeon smells like sweat, mildew, and old copper.
And you donât belong here. Not in these shoes. Not with this face.
Six-inch patent leather heels click against stone, loud and glossy. A tight little robe, fuchsia silk clinging to your waist like it owes you rent. Gold bangles chime when you raise your wand. Your lips are lined, glossy, perfect.
You look like you came to hex a sugar daddy into submission. Not break a thousand-year curse on a buried warlord.
You blow a pink bubble, pop it with a snap. âUgh, this place is like⌠sooo gross.â You roll your eyes and fluff your hair with your free hand. âLetâs make this quick, okay?â
The crypt yawns open at your feet.
You descend.
-
You feel him before you see him.
Old magic coils around your ankles, thick and sticky like spit. The kind of enchantment that wasnât built to ward or protect. This wasnât holy magic. This was warning. Repulsion.
But you keep going, swaying your hips with each step. âEw, itâs sticky and gross.â You squeal under your breath. âHope itâs not bad for my shoes.â
Candlelight doesnât reach the last stair. You cast your ownâlazy, one-handed. Your fingers sparkle with pink-glittered glow as you twirl the wand. Light blooms in a slow drip down the corridor like syrup.
You feel it pulse in response.
The weight of something waiting.
Something hungry.
-
At the end of the hall: a shrine. Black stone. Gold rot. A throne carved from animal bones and war banners. And thereâslumped forward, still and massiveâHim.
The warlord.
You pause in your tracks.
Seven feet at least. Broad across the chest, gut thick with power, thighs spread like a goddamn altar. His green-gray skin shines wet in the heat, tusks exposed in a mouth slightly ajar. His black braids are crusted with dried blood, and his handsâstill bound in rusted iron shacklesârest against his knees.
He doesnât move.
Not yet.
Your heart thumps once.
You twirl your wand. âJust need the relic.â
You lean in.
Take a single step forward.
The wards break with a crack like bone under heel.
He lifts his head.
Just a little.
And grins.
Teeth. Thick, sharp, and yellowed from time and meat. His tusks gleam like fangs.
âWell fuck me,â he says, voice like gravel dragged down your spine. âA little pink thing come to unwrap me?â
Your stomach flips.
You scowl, put on a pout. âExcuse me? Iâm likeâtotally powerful, okay? Donât be gross.â
You raise your wand again, fast. âStay over there.â
He doesnât move.
He doesnât need to.
The space is already his.
He licks his teeth.
You circle him cautiously, pretending you donât feel the heat radiating off his body like a furnace. Pretending you donât notice how his cockâhalf-hardârests heavy against his thigh, thick as your wrist and still growing. He watches you the way a starving man watches a plate.
He snorts. âYouâre trembling.â
âIâm not,â you say, voice pitched high, breathless. âIâm justâumâhot in here. Itâs the dungeon, not me.â
âRight,â he rumbles, unconvinced, eyes pinning you where you stand. The sound scrapes low in his throat, slow as gravel. He tugs at the chainsâlazy, testingâand they groan in protest.
You flick your wrist, sharp and practiced. Magic swirls between your fingers, sour pink and pop-berry sweet. It hisses through the air, sparks off his chest then fizzles out, useless.
His eyes gleam gold.
The chains fall off.
Not broken.
Just let go.
Your throat dries.
He stands up slow. Rolls his shoulders. Cracks his neck. The sound is obscene. Then heâs in front of you.
âGo ahead,â he grins, looming. âTell me again to back up.â
You press the wand to his chest.
He leans into it.
His breath is rank. Sweat, hunger, musk, and blood. Youâre already wet and furious about it. Your thighs press together. He sees it. Smells it.
You wrinkle your nose. âWow, somebody needs a mint and a shower.â
He chuckles low. âYou talk a lot for someone shaking in heels.â
âIâm not shaking,â you say. âThese are stilettosâthey wobble. Itâs called balance, duh. Oh, and if you try to hurt me, Iâll turn you into a nasty purple jelly-bean!â the confidence in your voice is ill-placedâparticularly since your first spell failed.
His smile goes nasty.
He steps closer, and you donât move. Just tilt your chin up, eyes fluttering, smirking when he stops a breath away.
âI ainât gonna hurt you,â he says.
He steps in close. âBut Iâll use you.â
You tense.
Not from fear.
From how fast your cunt clenches.
He leans inânose to your throatâand inhales. His hands hover, like heâs not sure if heâs allowed to touch.
âPretty little thing in pink,â he rasps. âWhatâre you hiding under all that glitter?â
You donât answer.
He laughs. Slow and deep.
Then circles you like meat.
âYou ainât here for relics,â he says. âYouâre here âcause you wanted a monster to fuck it outta you. Magic girl with pretty tits and a mean mouth. You cast dumb little spells and call it power. Iâll show you what power is.â
You swallow.
He stops behind you.
âSay no.â
You donât. Not when he presses his hips to your ass and grinds up slow. Not when you feel his cock, hard now, thick and heavy and ready. Not when he groans in your ear, low and primal and real.
You donât moan.
You donât gasp.
You clench your teeth and twist your wand in your palm and glare at him like youâre still in controlâeven as he leans into you, his dick hot and heavy and thick as a club between your thighs.
âYou smell like sugar,â he grunts against your ear. âYouâre gonna break on my cock, ainât you?â
Heat rushes through you. You can feel his eyes on youâon the swell of your breasts nearly spilling from your robes, on every soft, greedy curve. His gaze drags over your mouth, your ass, slow and heavy, like heâs tasting you from where he stands.
And for one dangerous second, you wonder how heâd feel inside you. How itâd feel to be split open by someone that big. Heâs all muscle and rough edges, green skin slick with sweat, and gods, you hate that it turns you on.
You shake your head hard. No. Youâve dated orcish types beforeâtheyâre all bastards. Every single one.
But youâre just a girl, and your feet ache from hours in these damn heels. You didnât even want this mission. You tried to seduce a warlock into doing the heavy lifting, like usualâbut of course, everyone had run off to that stupid festival.
You sneer.
"Ugh, your breath smells like ass.â
He grins wider.
Your thighs tremble.
He runs a hand down your side, thick fingers skating over silk, then lace, then skin. He lifts the hem of your robe with a curl of two knuckles and whistles low.
âYou came down here with no damn panties?â
You scoff. âDidnât expect to be molested by a talking ham hock.â
His hand freezes.
Then grips your hip tight enough to bruise.
He leans in closer. âKeep talkinâ, cupcake. Iâll fuck that mouth before you can say abracadabra.â
This is bad, you think. Really bad. If word got back to the councilâanother one of your scandalsâtheyâd have your head. Youâre supposed to be better than this. You curse under your breath. You shouldnât even be thinking about it. About him. Gods, youâre so stupid. Well...only one thing to do now. You twist, break out of his grip, and run.
Your heels scream against the stone. The walls blur. Your tits bounce wildly beneath the ruined robe, makeup smudged, breath ragged, wand clutched tight in your shaking hand. You donât cast. You donât even look back.
Until your heel slipsâ
And you go down.
Hard.
Face-first into cold stone.
Your wand clatters away.
The silence that follows is thick and awful.
You roll over, heart pounding. Completely embarrassed. One of your bra straps has snapped. Thereâs a cut across your knee. You donât move.
Because you hear him breathing.
He walks up slow.
Deliberate.
Feet heavy. Steps wide. He doesnât run. Doesnât need to. Heâs a fucking wall.
You sit up fast and try to get to your knees, but heâs already above you. Already looking down at the little pink mess youâve become.
His cock hangs half-hard again, drooling from the tip. Your mouth goes dry.
And he laughs.
âAw, baby,â he growls. âThat run got your pussy hotter?â
You slap at him. âUgh, shut the fuck up!â
He steps closer. âYou shaking.â
âIâm not scared.â
âYou should be.â
You try to crawl back, but he crouches low, one thick hand curling around your ankle.
He drags you back like you weigh nothingâthighs sliding open, robe slipping off your shoulders until it hangs useless at your elbows. Tits out, lipstick smeared, eyes stinging with tears. Not fearâanger. That robe was expensive. Silk from the southern ports. You didnât pay for it, obviously, but still. It was yours.
You twist, try to kick, but itâs weak.
Youâre wet and mad about it.
âGet off me,â you spit.
He grins again, licking his tusk. âYou gonna hex me with your glitter wand, sweetheart?â
âYou smell like graveyard dick.â
âOh, Iâm gonna make you cry.â
He rips the rest of your robe open.
Gone.
Torn off like tissue paper.
Now your whole bodyâs exposedâsoft and glistening. Your stomach jiggles when you breathe, tits heavy and bouncing as you squirm. Your thighs are thick and smeared with slick.
He doesnât even touch your pussy yetâhe just looks at it.
Long.
Grinning.
âYou been this wet the whole time?â
You lift your chin and pout. âYou think that means anything? Youâre ugly and old. You look like a bloated toe!â
He snorts, growlsâand bends you over the nearest tomb.
He bends you over the tomb like a doll. Cold stone kisses your tits, your cheek, your belly. You try to push up, scramble off, but his hand plants you thereâthick and calloused, the weight of it flattening your back, forcing your ass higher.
You whimper.
He grunts.
âStay just like that, pretty meat.â
Your thighs tremble. You want to fightâbut youâre slick and bare and soaking the top of the fucking crypt.
You pout over your shoulder. âFuck you.â
âYou will,â he growls.
His fingers spread your ass open.
You feel the air on your cunt. Humid. Hot. His breath hits your slit and you jerkâshivering, humiliated, soaked through.
Thenâ
He spits.
Right on your pussy.
The warm slide of it drips down your folds. You gasp, biting your lip, legs twitching.
He watches it drip.
âDumb little pussyâs hungry already,â he laughs.
âChoke on a tusk,â you snap.
He slaps your ass hard.
You yelp.
Then heâs thereâcock thick and droolingârubbing the head against your pussy like heâs lining up for a meal, not a fuck. He teases the head up and down your slit, slow and deliberate, coating himself in your slick.
You twitch.
Try to bite down another whimper.
He catches it.
Smirks.
âYou scared now?â
You turn your head, eyes glassy, gloss smeared, and snarl: âDo it, you ugly fuck.â
He growlsâdeep, primalâand thrusts in.
You scream.
No prep.
No warning.
Just the massive stretch of his cock forcing your cunt wide, burning through you like itâs splitting you in half.
Your nails scratch stone.
You canât breathe. You clench around him without meaning to, and he moansâlow and filthy, hips stuttering forward until he bottoms out. Balls against your clit.
Your walls shake and your voice breaks: âF-Fuckââ
âThatâs it,â he grunts, rutting in tiny, brutal thrusts. âFuckinâ melt on it.â
You sob.
He leans over your back, mouth at your neck, and licks the tear off your cheek.
âYou cryinâ already?â he whispers. âPretty thing, all painted up, but you break so easy.â
You donât answer.
You canât.
He grabs your breast, hard, twisting the nipple until you gasp. Then he lowers his mouth to it, sucks hard, tongue dragging over the metal bar through the skin.
You moan. Loud.
Your cunt pulses.
He groans against your chest.
âDumb magic bitch. Got all wet for the monster. You wanted this, didnât you?â
You shake your headâbut youâre dripping, your thighs sticky and trembling, your pussy clenching around him like itâs begging to keep him in.
âLiar.â
He slams back into you again. Harder.
You scream. Every thrust knocks your tits into the stone, your knees sliding, body helpless under the size of him. Your cuntâs raw, but the slick just grows. You cumâloud, sudden, shakingâand he doesnât stop.
Thatâs when he really starts.
He fucks you harder. Faster. Louder. Grunting, slapping your ass, calling you his soft little spellslut. He chokes you, bends you lower, licks the tears from your lips and tells you heâs gonna fill you up like youâre a breeding trough.
âSay thank you,â he growls.
You try. Itâs broken. âTh-Thank youâŚâ
He moans. âFuckinâ pretty meat.â
Then he cums inside you. Hot. Heavy. Too much. You scream again, body convulsing, walls milking every drop. He doesnât pull out. He just breathes.
Then grabs your hair.
And starts grinding into you again.
-
Youâre limp against the tombâlegs jelly, face smeared with tears and spit, your pussy still twitching from the first load he dumped inside you.
Your voice is gone.
You whimper, head lolling to the side, breath ragged.
And he picks you up.
Not gently. Not tender.
He grabs you by the thigh and the small of your back and lifts you like you weigh nothingâjust a warm, fucked-open hole and pretty tits for him to bounce on his cock.
You gasp.
Heâs still hard. Still thick. Still slick with your cum and his.
You try to say somethingâ
He pushes you down on it.
You scream. High and cracked.
You feel every inch all over again.
Your cunt stretches wideâagainâyour pussy squelching around his cock as it slides back in. You cry, hands clutching his shoulders, nails digging into muscle thatâs too big, too hot, too real.
He groans. âThatâs it.â
One hand supports you under the thigh, the other grabs your hair, pulling your head back so your throatâs exposed.
He fucks you like thatâstanding, lifting you, bouncing you on his cock with one massive hand yanking your scalp back, the other flexing your leg open to take every brutal thrust.
Your mouth falls open. You make noise. Loud, wet, high. Your body bounces. You drool. You break.
You look at him. Eyes glazed, lips parted, and you kiss him. Sloppy. Deep. Tongue curling into his mouth.
He freezes for half a second.
Then he groas into it. His tusks scrape your lips. You moan into his teeth. Your hips roll into his thrusts nowâneedy, mindless, fucked out and happy for it.
He pulls away, panting against your mouth.
âPretty little toy,â he snarls.
You whimper. âMmhmâŚâ
âYou like this cock now, huh?â
You nod, glossy eyes wide. âY-Yeah⌠sâtoo big⌠hurtsâŚâ
âStill takinâ it.â
You cling to him.
âFeels sâgood⌠youâreâŚâ You blink. Slur. âYouâre kinda cute. For an orcâŚâ
He laughsâa harsh sound.
âYouâre dumb as bricks.â
âMhm,â you sigh, drooling on his shoulder. âM-More.â
He fucks you deeper. Adjusts the angleâtilts your hips with one hand and slams up until he hits that sweet spot that makes your legs twitch and your moans break into high, squeaky ah-ah-ah sounds.
You wail.
He bites your shoulder. Hard.
You cum again. No warning. Just gushing, twitching, eyes rolling, lips parted in a silent scream.
He doesnât stop. He fucks through your orgasm, rutting deeper, faster, cock pistoning into your spasming cunt until itâs raw and slick and full of sound.
Your hands dangle. Your voice cracks.
You babble. âL-Love thisây-you fuck so goodâfeel fullâcanât thinkâŚâ
âThatâs âcause I fucked the smarts outta you, cupcake.â
You nod like itâs a compliment.
He kisses you again. Harder this time. Hungry. You moan into it. Sloppy tongue, lips bruised, spit everywhere.
He groans and thenâHe cums inside you again. Hot, thick, pumping deep.
You moan. Body convulsing as the heat floods you, cunt milking him, belly swelling from the pressure.
He holds you through itâfucked limp and breathless in his arms, twitching, ruined.
Then leans in close, nuzzles your cheek, and mutters: âMine now.â
You canât walk. Your thighs are shaking. Your cunt is leaking, sore and stretched wide. Your robeâs in pieces. Your mascaraâs down your neck. Your own spitâs on your tits.
But your lips are still glossy.
And your mouth is still wet.
He notices. Grins. Grabs your chin. Tilts your head.
âGet on your knees, pretty meat.â
You slide down like youâre made of syrup. Legs folding under you. Face flushed. Eyes glazed. You smile up at him like a good little thingâso sweet, so dumb, already opening your mouth as his dick slaps against your cheek.
Itâs still soaked. Still twitching. Still leaking.
You whimper. Then lick. Long, slow, tongue dragging up the vein on the underside of his shaft. You moan. He groans. Your hand wraps around the base and your lips slide downâsoft, plush, trained.
You gag on it fast. You can't even take a half of this length down your throat.
Tears start again. He groans louder.
He fists your hair and uses your throat.
No rhythm. No mercy. Just him, standing wide-legged in front of you, thrusting what he can fit into your mouth with both hands on your head, muttering how good your throat feels while you cry on his cock.
You choke. Slobber. Breathe through your nose, just barely.
He snarls.
âDumb lil slut,â he pants. âMakinâ a mess. Look at youâfuckinâ beautiful like this.â
You blink up at him. Make eye contact.
Then hollow your cheeks and hum.
He shudders.
âYouâre gonna fuckinâ ruin me,â he rasps.
You nod with his cock in your mouth.
He cums in your throat.
You try to swallow. Fail. It spills out the corners of your lips, sticky and hot, splashing down your chest, into the valley of your breats. He twitches again, moaning, holding your face to his base.
You gag once.
Then suck, sweet and slow, like youâre thanking him.
He lets go of your hair.
You slump forward, lips still parted, drooling.
He wipes your chin with his thumb.
Then picks you up like youâre weightless. You melt in his arms. Thighs open. Face nuzzled against his chest. Sticky, wet, and soft all over.
He doesnât say much.
Just grunts once, thick fingers curling around the fat of your thigh as he starts walkingâcarrying you through the tunnel like youâre treasure.
fluffy lighthearted!

Each Saturday morning, for the past few months, had started with soccer.
They quickly became your favorite part of the weekend. Waking up not too early, not too late. Heading to Jack's games, admiring Aaron as he coached, followed by going out to brunch or bringing takeout back to their apartment.
And most importantly, supporting and spending time with the two people who meant the most to you.
By the time you parked and made it to the field, the grass was already filling with participants and spectators alike. Players were beginning to warm up, families were unpacking at the sidelines.
You spotted Aaron immediately. In a t-shirt and jeans, he was standing at the team's bench, David Rossi beside him. His eyes were following the team, ensuring they were running drills and not goofing around - too much. You could faintly hear him calling out to the kids, "Great work!" "Keep hustling!"
Every so often, his eyes would leave the net, scanning the premises in search of you. The start of the game was quickly approaching, and you never missed kick-off.
Even from a slight distance, you could see that Aaron's face was set in his signature scowl. His eyebrows were drawn hard over his eyes, his jaw set and rigid. Hands on his hips. Nurtured by FBI experience, habit, and lack of you.
But when his sight landed on you, his expression changed entirely.
Aaron's features softened; the tension in his brow melting away, his eyes lightened with unmistakable warmth. A smile also formed onto his lips - unforced, instant, like it had been waiting specifically for your arrival.
His posture shifted as well, freely relaxing and ready to make contact with you - like his body was ready to meet yours halfway without hesitation.
You eagerly picked up your pace.
"Hi sweetheart." Aaron happily greeted. He smelled like sunshine and sweat, already perspiring a tad at the early hour.
"Hi," you laughed gently, leaning into Aaron as he pressed a quick kiss onto your lips.
His eyebrows crinkled adorably above his face, his hand finding your waist. "What's so funny?"
"You." Reaching up, you brought a hand to his cheek, brushing your thumb against it for a moment. You brought your lips to his again, "you're funny."
"Aaron? Funny?"
"I don't think I asked you, Dave." Aaron quipped back as he crossed his arms, his eyebrows raised. As you shot Rossi a playful glare, you untangled Aaronâs arms from their interlocked state, holding onto his hands instead.
"Eh, it went without saying."
Aaron rolled his eyes, before bringing his sweet gaze back to you. They were lined with adoration and amused question. "Should I be worried?"
"No," you answered breathlessly, a content sigh leaving you. "I just hope things never change."
"And what would that change be?"
"The way you light up when you look at me."
Surprise flashed across his face, not expecting that answer. But before he could respond, your legs were enveloped in a sudden hug.
"Hey number four!" you grinned, crouching down to meet Jack at his level. "Good luck today."
"Thank you." Jack smiled, wrapping his arms around your neck in another embrace, now that you were more accessible. "I'm happy you came."
You've been to numerous games and without fail, Jack relayed the same statement every week. Your heart swelled with love; you truly felt like a part of their family, the one they both kept guarded and close. You were so lucky they had let you in.
"Me too."
"Me too." Aaron's voice echoed from above, ruffling Jack's hair.
You peered up at him; the earnest expression was back on his face, only it was softer. The corners of his mouth lifted in a gentle, almost shy smile. His brown eyes shimmered, as if he still couldnât quite believe you were real.
You couldn't help but grin, igniting his heart more.
How in the world did he end up with someone like you?
synopsis: You spend the summer at Marenâs beach house, expecting nothing more than pool days and late nights. But the longer you stay, the harder it gets to ignore the way her dad looks at youâand the way you look back. Not just out of dislike as you assumed but one of holding back. One night, everything snaps, and you find out just how much heâs been holding back.

Masterlist Best friends dad masterlist
Youâd practically begged your best friend Maren all semester long to take you to her familyâs beach house across the country in the sunny, golden stretch of Californiaâwell, not hers technically. Her fatherâs. The elusive Dr. Spencer Reid. Retired federal agent. Genius. Widower. The man who could quote entire Shakespeare sonnets and probably didnât own a single pair of swim trunks that werenât some shade of muted gray.
Maren had wanted you to come since the beginning of the semester, but it wasnât her you needed to convince. No, the problem had been her father, the brilliant Dr. Reid whoâd made it very clear from the first weekend youâd visited that he didnât like you. Not in a loud or obvious way, but in the subtle, clipped comments. The way he never smiled at your jokes. The way heâd told Marenâin a voice he mustâve thought you couldnât hearâthat you were âimmatureâ and ânot a good influence..â
You hadnât let it get under your skin. Not really. You knew who you were. You were smart enough, got good grades, held yourself with plenty of grace, thank you very much. So what if an old, retired⌠ridiculously good-looking federal agent thought less of you?
It didnât matter.
At least, thatâs what you told yourself.
But when you walked into class on the very last day of the semester, coffee in hand, Maren was already at your usual table, practically bouncing in her seat, grinning like sheâd just won the lottery.
You slid into your chair, eyeing her suspiciously over the rim of your cup.
âWhat has you grinning like the cat that caught the canary?â you asked, voice muffled by a sip of coffee.
Her grin widened, and she leaned forward like she was about to let you in on the secret of the century. âHe said yes,â she whispered, all giddy and conspiratorial.
You frowned. âHe said yes?â
She gave an exaggerated sigh. âMy dad! He said yes to the beach house in California!â
Your eyebrows shot up so fast they nearly hit your hairline. You almost choked on your drink. âWait. Your dad⌠said yes? Seriously? You didnât likeâthreaten him or something, right?â
âMaybe,â she said with a grin that was far too smug for comfort. âBut he said yes. All you have to do is show up.â She did a little victory wave with her hand like this was some kind of sacred mission accomplished.
âShow up?â You tilted your head, incredulous. âYou mean I donât have to pay to get there? Nothing?â
âNope,â she said, popping the p with delight. âApparently heâs flying anyway for some conference thing, so he just said, âDonât worry about it.ââ She reached over and stole a sip of your coffee like she hadnât just shattered your entire world with that sentence.
You blinked. âWait. Heâs gonna be there?â
âUh⌠yeah? Itâs his house.â
You set your cup down slowly, brain short-circuiting just a little. âHow am I supposed to get my tan on in my teeny-weeny bikini with your dad lurking around?â
Maren wrinkled her nose and gave you a horrified look. âEw. Gross. Heâs my dad. He doesnât⌠he wonât look. He barely likes people.â She said it with a laugh, like the idea was absurd.
But the thought lodged in your brain anyway.
Because you remembered the first time you met him: how heâd barely looked at you, how his voice was low and thoughtful, like everything he said had been filtered through ten layers of logic before leaving his mouth. You remembered the quiet intelligence in his eyesâand how, annoyingly, he looked nothing like someoneâs dad was supposed to look at forty-something. He was all sharp cheekbones, lean lines, a little too much height for his own good, and forearms that had no right looking like that when he rolled his sleeves up.
You didnât like him, obviously. He didnât like you.
But you werenât blind.
Now, though? Now you were thinking about him seeing you stretched out on the poolside chair, sun dripping across your skin, your bikini the color of his favorite cup of chamomile tea if he even drank anything so frivolous.
You imagined him seeing the tiny bead of water running down your stomach after a swim, the baby-blue strings tied at your hips.
You shook your head, forcing your brain back to reality as the professor finally strode into class.
Focus.
You were going for the beach, for sun, for sand, for Maren.
Not for her dad.
Right?
After class that day, you went home with one thing on your mind: California.
Specifically, a sun-drenched beach house that belonged to none other than Dr. Spencer Reid, retired FBI agent, brilliant mind, and full-time thorn in your side.
You shouldâve been finishing your last bit of coursework or maybe calling your mom to let her know you wouldnât be home for the first half of summer break. Instead, you were on your bedroom floor surrounded by chaosâsuitcases open, clothes everywhere, holding up bikinis to the mirror with the kind of seriousness usually reserved for job interviews.
You packed all your cutest swimwear. The barely-there black bikini that tied in neat little bows. The white one-piece that was technically a swimsuit but clung like lingerie. The baby blue oneâyour favorite. The one that made your skin glow and felt like trouble just waiting to happen.
Not that youâd actually⌠do anything. Right?
You told yourself that as you tucked matching lingerie sets into the side pocket of your suitcase. Just in case. Not because of him. Definitely not because of him.
Maren had texted you mid-packing frenzy:
Dad booked flights for tomorrow morning. Youâre coming, right??
You grinned down at the message before firing back:
You mean he booked flights?? Heâs serious?
Yep. 9:30 flight. Be ready.
The man hadnât even asked if the time worked for you. Typical. A very this is my schedule, keep up kind of deal.
Jokes on himâyou were free.
The next day came fast. You showed up at the airport buzzing with energy, hair done, wearing your best travel outfitâlinen trousers, little white crop top, sandals. Casual but cute. Maren squealed the second she saw you, throwing her arms around you like you hadnât seen each other in, what, two days?
âYou have no idea how excited I am,â she gushed, pulling back with bright eyes. âWeâre gonna swim, weâre gonna tan, weâre gonna drink margaritasââ
âMargaritas?â you grinned.
She winked. âDad doesnât need to know about that part.â
And speaking ofâŚ
He was there.
Dr. Reid himself. Standing off to the side in a soft gray button-down with the sleeves rolled up, dark slacks, hair a little longer than last time you saw him, a messenger bag slung over one shoulder. He looked⌠tired, maybe. Or maybe that was just how his face was shaped, all sharp cheekbones and thoughtful eyes like he carried the weight of entire galaxies behind them.
âHi, Dr. Reid,â you said, polite, like you hadnât heard him once tell Maren you were âimmature.â
âMorning,â he said simply, voice even, expression unreadable as he handed you your boarding pass.
No smile.
No real eye contact.
Then he was already moving toward security like you werenât even there.
Maren rolled her eyes. âDonât take it personally. Heâs like that with everyone.â
But you knew he wasnât. Youâd seen him smile at waitresses, cashiers, neighbors. He was choosing not to like you. Which only made you more aware of him.
On the plane, Maren snagged the window seat. You took the middle.
Dr. ReidâSpencerâsat across the aisle and two rows back, about as far away as possible while still technically traveling together. He had a book open before the seatbelt sign was even off, long fingers holding the pages like he couldnât stand to waste a second.
Not a single glance your way. Not even when you laughed at something Maren whispered to you about California boys or when the flight attendant offered pretzels.
Nothing.
It bugged you more than it shouldâve.
At one point you craned your neck slightly, just enough to see him over the seat. He didnât noticeâeyes on the page, brow furrowed, jaw tight like maybe the words werenât sinking in as easily as he wanted them to.
Maren elbowed you lightly. âWhy do you look like youâre plotting something?â
You blinked innocently. âIâm not.â
She gave you a look. âMy dad doesnât bite, you know.â
âSure,â you said lightly, leaning back, trying to shake the thought of him. âHe just glares silently from across the plane. Totally normal.â
The flight dragged and yet flew by. California sun hit your face the moment you stepped off the plane, warm and sweet and nothing like the city air youâd left behind.
Spencer was already striding ahead through the terminal like he had somewhere better to be, Maren jogging to catch up, chattering about beaches and ice cream and late-night swims.
You wheeled your suitcase behind you, sunglasses perched on your head, trying not to notice the way his shoulders shifted under that stupid gray button-down or the way his hair fell into his eyes before he pushed it back absently.
This was fine.
Totally fine.
Just a family trip.
Nothing more.
The beach house was even prettier than youâd imagined.
A white, weathered bungalow perched above the sand like something out of a postcard. Blue flowers lined the small porch railings, their petals nodding lazily in the warm coastal breeze. The ocean was right thereâclose enough that you could hear the waves sliding in and out like some soft heartbeat.
You and Maren both stopped on the porch to stare, but her father didnât even glance at the view. It was his, after all. He just unlocked the door with the same quiet efficiency he seemed to do everything with, shouldered it open, and stepped inside.
The place smelled faintly of salt and cedar.
Spencer dropped his keys in a bowl by the door, voice low and even when he finally spoke.
âBedrooms down that hallway,â he said, pointing vaguely to the right. âNo noise after ten p.m. No drinking. I donât care that you both legally can.â He said it like it was a speech heâd prepared on the plane, rattled off in that matter-of-fact cadence that sounded both awkward and unyielding at the same time.
You nodded, polite. âOf course. And⌠thank you. For letting me come.â
He gave the smallest nod backâlike maybe he hadnât expected you to thank himâbefore disappearing down the opposite hallway. You assumed that was his room, his part of the house, the invisible line you werenât supposed to cross.
The second he was gone, Maren turned to you, eyes bright. âBikinis on. Weâre tanning before the sun sets.â
She was halfway down the hall before you could answer, all excitement and plans.
Your room was small but perfectâwhite sheets, one open window letting in a breeze that carried the faint sound of gulls. Marenâs room was right beside yours. His was at the other end of the house. Far enough that you wouldnât have to think about him unless you wanted to.
Which you didnât. Obviously.
You shut your door and stripped out of your travel clothes, digging through your bag until you found the tiniest bikini youâd packed. Black. Tied at the hips, barely there on top. You caught sight of yourself in the mirror as you fixed the straps.
You looked⌠good.
Dangerously so.
Not that you cared what he thought.
You stepped back into the hallway just as Maren called through her door, âFive minutes! Go out without me, Iâll catch up!â
You knocked anyway. âHurry up! Iâm already wasting tanning time.â
âThen go tan!â she yelled back. âThe poolâs clean, Dad always has someone check before he comes out here.â
You huffed a laugh, shaking your head as you wandered toward the kitchen.
The place was open-conceptâliving room flowing into kitchen, all windows and sunlight. The fridge was stainless steel, big enough to hold half the state of California inside.
You pulled it open, scanning the shelves until you found bottled water.
And thatâs when you heard it.
A small sound behind youâalmost like someone choking back a cough.
You turned, two bottles in hand, and froze.
He was standing there.
And not like he had on the plane in his gray button-down, all bookish and tired. No, now he was in a pale blue linen shirt, loose white pants, hair still a little messy from the flight but somehow better for it. He looked⌠young and not young at the same time.
But what got you wasnât the outfit.
It was the fact that heâd very, very obviously just had to drag his eyes up from your ass to your face when you turned.
You saw the guilt in real time.
He swallowed hard, throat working, before managing, âIâuh⌠I was justââ
âGetting some water,â you finished for him lightly, holding up the bottles. âYeah. Me too. Sorry, didnât mean to be in the way.â
He shook his head too fast. âNo. No need to apologize. Itâs⌠good. Itâs good to stay hydrated.â
His voice cracked on hydrated.
You bit the inside of your cheek to keep from smiling.
He was trying so hard not to look. You could feel it, like a second sunburn prickling over your skinâthe way his eyes darted anywhere but the tight triangles of black fabric covering you.
âRight,â you said slowly, leaning one hip against the counter, handing him one of the bottles. âWouldnât want to faint or anything.â
He took it, fingers brushing yours for half a second too long. âNo. Definitely⌠not.â
His eyes flicked over you again before he snapped them away, jaw tight, muttering something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like, fuckâs sake.
âSorry, what was that?â you asked, all faux-innocence.
âNothing.â He twisted the cap off the bottle like it had personally offended him. âJust⌠shouldnât you be wearing sunscreen?â
You raised a brow. âWhy? Worried Iâll burn?â
âWorried youâll get skin cancer,â he said flatly, but his ears were pink. âThe sun here is⌠strong.â
You smiled slow, wicked. âThanks for the tip, doctor.â
His mouth opened like he had something to say to thatâsomething he probably shouldnâtâbut Marenâs voice came down the hall just then, yelling about the pool and music and something about making margaritas later.
You saw the way his fingers flexed tight around the water bottle before he turned sharply toward his room, muttering, âChrist,â under his breath as he disappeared down the hall.
That night and most of the next day blurred into sun and water and drinks Maren swore were âvirginâ cocktails. They werenât. You knew it. Spencer definitely knew it. He just didnât fight itâlike maybe the battle wasnât worth it.
But you noticed it.
The way his eyes lingered now. Not openlyânever openly. Always quick little glances, like he didnât mean to look but couldnât help himself. Like seeing you in a bikini the first time had rewired his brain, and now every time you walked past in a sundress or shorts, he couldnât stop imagining what was underneath.
The next day the heat rolled over the house like a blanket.
You picked your baby-blue bikini this time. The one that made your skin look sun-kissed and glowy.
By early afternoon, Maren was floating lazily in the pool, half asleep on one of those ridiculous flamingo floaties, while you lay sprawled on a lounger. Book in hand. Sunglasses sliding down your nose. The sun warm and heavy on your skin, water still beading down your stomach from the last swim.
The sliding door opened behind you with a low shhhk.
You looked over lazily.
And there he was.
Spencer Reid, former FBI golden boy, now standing barefoot on the patio in a half-unbuttoned white linen shirt and tan shorts that did unholy things to his legs.
Hello thighsâŚ
You had to drag your eyes back to your book before you embarrassed yourself, but not before you caught him looking at you.
No, not just looking.
Lingering.
Like his eyes couldnât decide which part of you to settle on first.
He cleared his throat, too quick, glancing toward the pool instead. âIâuh⌠Maren?â
She looked up, water dripping from her hair. âYes, father dearest?â
He sighed. âIâll be back later tonight. Donât⌠wreck the house. Please.â
Maren gave a lazy salute. âYep, yep, no crazy parties, go to your boring things.â She waved him off and went back to floating.
You didnât even know why you opened your mouth.
âWhere are you going?â
He turned his head slowly toward you, eyes dragging over your bare legs before meeting your gaze. His voice was flat, but there was something under it. âBit personal, isnât it?â
And then he turned on his heel and went back inside.
Just like that.
Shut down.
You stared after him, heat creeping up your neckânot from the sun this time.
Fine. Whatever. You didnât care.
Right?
Time passed.
The sun dipped low. Maren eventually gave up her floaty kingdom and stumbled off to bed, mumbling something about sunstroke and too many not-so-virgin cocktails.
You stayed outside, sprawled on the lounger, book in hand. The air had cooled, the breeze carrying the faint sound of waves against the shore. The backyard was lit only by the glow of the pool lights and the warm spill from the house.
The sliding door opened again.
You didnât even look up at first, expecting Maren coming back for her phone.
But it wasnât her.
It was him.
Spencer stepped outside, same clothes as before, hair a little mussed like heâd run his hands through it too many times. He looked⌠tense.
âItâs late,â he said finally, voice low.
You sat up slightly. âSorry.â
He shook his head. âWhereâs Maren?â
âIn bed,â you said, watching him. âOut cold.â
He gave a small nod like heâd expected that and then, to your surprise, sat on the lounger beside yours. Not laying backâjust sitting, elbows on his knees, water bottle in his hands.
Up close, you could see the faint lines at the corners of his eyes. The tiredness that didnât quite hide the way he kept⌠glancing at you.
You cleared your throat. âSorry about before.â
His brows drew together. âBefore?â
âWhen I asked where you were going,â you said, shrugging.
âOh.â He hesitated, then gave a small, humorless laugh. âYeah. I was being a⌠jerk, so to speak.â
You smirked faintly. âSo to speak?â
His eyes slid over to you, then downâquicklyâto the thin straps of your bikini top before he looked away just as fast, like the sun might burn him for it.
âI had work stuff,â he muttered finally. âDoesnât matter now.â
You studied him for a moment. The tight set of his shoulders. The restless way his fingers tapped against the bottle.
âDo I make you nervous?â you asked suddenly.
His head snapped toward you so fast you almost laughed. âWhat? No.â
But his voice cracked just slightly.
You leaned back on your elbows, the motion arching your back enough to make his eyes flick down before he caught himself.
âYou seem nervous,â you said lightly, like you werenât noticing the way he was gripping that bottle like it might save his life.
âIâm not nervous,â he said flatly, but his voice had gone rough, lower than before. âI just⌠Christ.â
He rubbed a hand over his face, then through his hair, like he was trying to physically scrub thoughts from his brain.
âJust what?â you pressed softly.
His eyes cut toward you.
Dark.
Frustrated.
Hungry.
âJust trying not to stare at you like some fucking creep,â he muttered finally, so quiet you almost didnât catch it.
The words hit like a punch low in your stomach.
You smiled slow, wicked. âAnd howâs that working out for you?â
He let out a sharp laughâshort, humorless. âTerribly.â
You huff a laugh, shifting slightly on the lounger so your knee brushes his thigh.
âTerribly?â you repeat, teasing just a little.
âYes. Terribly,â he mutters, taking a long swig of his water like maybe hydration could wash away the thoughts running through his head. His jaw works as he swallows, a vein standing out at the side of his neck like even drinking water was putting him under pressure.
You tilt your head, studying him. âAh⌠because you donât like me,â you say. Not petty. Just matter-of-fact.
His head snaps toward you like youâd just accused him of committing a federal offense. âDonât like you?â
You shrug, a tiny smirk tugging your lips. âYeah. You donâtââ
âWhat? No. No, Iââ He shakes his head too fast, the words tangling in his throat. âI⌠I like you. I donât dislike you.â
Oh, he was panicking now. You could see it in the way his hand rubbed over his jaw, his hair, like he didnât know where to put his nervous energy.
He muttered something under his breath.
âWhat was that?â you pressed, eyes narrowing slightly.
He let out a sharp, self-deprecating laugh, still staring straight ahead like maybe if he didnât look at you, this wouldnât feel as dangerous as it was.
âI like you too much,â he blurted suddenly. âMore than I⌠more than I definitely should.â
Your throat went dry.
âWhâwhat do you mean?â you asked softly.
His eyes flicked over, down the length of you stretched out on the lounger. He tried to catch himself halfway through, but his gaze lingered anywayâon the thin straps of your bikini top, the slope of your stomach, the beads of pool water that still glimmered faintly under the patio lights.
When his eyes finally met yours again, they were darker. Tighter.
âYouâreâŚâ he started, then stopped, then dragged a hand through his hair like he was angry at himself. âYouâre tempting.â
The word hung there, heavy as the air around you.
You shifted slightly, sitting up now, the space between you narrowing.
âTempting?â you echoed, tone softer.
âYes,â he said, voice low like it scraped his throat on the way out. Then, faster, panicked, âItâsâI mean, itâs wrong. God, itâs so wrong, youâre Marenâs friend, youâreâhell, youâre twenty-one, and IâmâIâm twice your age, and this is insane, and Iâm clearly losing my fucking mind because I canât stop looking at you, andââ
âSpencer.â
His mouth shut with an audible click.
Youâd never said his first name before.
Not like that.
His Adamâs apple bobbed hard. âWhat?â
âStop thinking so much,â you murmured.
He let out a laugh that was mostly air, scrubbing a hand down his face. âYou have no idea how impossible that is for me.â
âI think you just admitted you canât stop looking at me,â you said lightly, even though your pulse was thundering.
He groaned softly, dragging his hand down over his mouth this time, voice muffled. âChrist, youâreââ
âWhat?â
He looked at you then. Really looked.
âYouâre driving me fucking crazy.â
It was the way his voice cracked slightly at crazy that made you move.
Just a littleâjust enough that your bare thigh pressed against his where he sat on the edge of the lounger.
âSpencer,â you said softly, almost testing the name again.
His breath hitched.
And then, like he was finally losing the battle with himself, his hand liftedâhesitant, trembling slightlyâand his fingertips brushed the side of your thigh.
The smallest touch.
But it felt like a match dragged across dry wood.
You didnât stop him.
He dragged his hand higher, slow, fingers tracing the curve of your skin until they rested dangerously close to the thin tie of your bikini bottoms.
âThis isâŚâ He shook his head, voice dropping. âThis is so fucking bad.â
âThen stop,â you whispered.
You could see his jaw tighten. âI canât.â
The kiss wasnât sweet.
It was desperate.
He leaned in suddenly, one hand cupping your jaw like heâd finally broken whatever leash heâd kept on himself. His mouth crashed against yours, hot and frantic, tasting of water and panic and something far dirtier underneath.
You made a sound low in your throat that had him groaning, his tongue sliding against yours like he couldnât get close enough fast enough.
His hand on your thigh gripped tighter, thumb brushing the inside now, so close to where you wanted him it made your stomach twist.
When he finally tore his mouth from yours, he muttered against your lips, âYou have no fucking idea how long Iâve wanted to do that.â
You laughed softly, breathless. âTell me.â
His mouth hovered over yours, eyes wild now, words spilling like he couldnât stop them.
âSince the first time you came over,â he admitted, voice rough. âIn those stupid little shorts, acting like you werenât the sexiest thing Iâve ever seen, and I justâGod, I wanted to bend you over my desk and fuck you until you couldnât even think. And now youâre here, in thisââ He glanced down at the baby-blue bikini, groaning softly. âChrist, this is torture.â
His hand slid up, finally, brushing the edge of the fabric at your hip.
âSpencer,â you whispered, half-warning, half-plea.
He smirked faintly against your mouth, the first sign of anything cocky in him all night. âYou say my name like that again, Iâm gonna lose it.â
You smirk faintly, breath still uneven from his confession.
âLose it?â you murmur, teasing.
His lips hover against yours. âTell me to stop.â
âDonât stop,â you whisper back.
He freezes for half a secondâlike maybe he was waiting for that permissionâand then itâs like something snaps in him.
âFuck,â he mutters, almost to himself, and suddenly youâre airborne.
You squeal, startled, as he scoops you up bridal-style with surprising strength, your book thudding to the floor forgotten.
âSpencer!â you gasp, laughing despite yourself, arms instinctively looping around his neck.
He actually laughs softly at your surpriseâlow and rough like he hasnât laughed in a whileâand you feel it rumble through his chest as he carries you inside.
But instead of your room, he heads down the opposite hallway.
You know exactly where youâre going.
He kicks his door shut behind him with one sharp push of his heel and then throws youânot hard, but definitely not gentleâonto the bed.
You bounce slightly against the comforter, half propped on your elbows before he follows, crawling over you like something feral.
âFuckâŚâ His eyes drag down your body like he doesnât even know where to start. âDo you always wear such⌠such tiny fucking bikinis?â
His mouth is already at your neck before you can answer, kissing, nipping, leaving heat trailing down your skin as his hand settles on your thigh.
âPacked them for you,â you hum, smug.
He freezes mid-kiss, groaning low against your throat like you just punched the air out of him. âJesus Christâdonât⌠donât say shit like that.â
âWhy?â you smirk, tilting your head so he can kiss lower.
He lifts his head, eyes dark now, a faint smirk twisting at the corner of his mouth.
âCause itâs gonna make me fuck the hell out of you,â he says, voice rough, low, vulgar.
The words alone make heat pool low in your stomach.
âPlease,â you whisper, and it comes out more like a whimper than you mean it to.
He groansâdeep, gutturalâand then heâs gone. He sits back just enough to yank at the ties on your bikini bottoms, cursing under his breath when the knot doesnât give immediately.
âWho the fuck invented these stupid little strings,â he mutters, voice sharp with frustration before he finally rips the bow loose.
Your top comes next, sliding off in his hands as his eyes drink you in.
âJesus fucking Christ,â he breathes, running a hand down his face like maybe he canât believe this is actually happening. âSo much prettier than I imagined.â
That makes you blink.
âImagined?â you repeat, watching him start unbuttoning his linen shirt, fingers clumsy like he canât get them open fast enough.
He glances up, smirking faintly.
âYeah. After I saw you in the kitchen yesterday?â He shakes his head like heâs scolding himself, shirt falling open to reveal the sharp lines of his chest, the faint trail of hair disappearing under his waistband. âCouldnât exactly⌠leave the house like I planned. Had to, uh⌠take care of a situation first.â
The confession makes heat spike low in your stomach.
âYou jerked off to me?â you ask, voice half-teasing, half-breathless.
His smirk is crooked, self-deprecating, filthy.
âTwice,â he admits shamelessly, leaning back over you, the fabric of his pants straining now as his cock presses hot and hard against your thigh.
âSpencer,â you whisper, fingers sliding into his hair when his mouth returns to your neck, hungrier now.
He groans into your skin, muttering against your pulse, âBeen wanting to taste you since the second I saw you in that stupid bikiniâfuckâyou have no idea how bad.â
His hand drags down your stomach, slow, fingers shaking slightly before finally sliding between your thighs.
âJesus,â he mutters when he feels the damp heat there, middle finger stroking through you slowly. âYouâre so wet already. Fucking soaked. Did I do that?â
You nod breathlessly, hips jerking as he circles your clit lazily.
âUse your words,â he murmurs, voice hoarse.
âYes,â you breathe. âYouâfuckâyou did that.â
âChrist,â he groans, lips finding yours again, messy, open-mouthed as his fingers slide lower, teasing at your entrance before pressing in slowly.
One finger. Then two.
You whimper into his mouth, clenching around him as he pumps them deep, curling just right, his thumb rubbing your clit with maddening precision.
âFuck, youâre tight,â he groans, kissing you hard. âCanât wait to feel this on my cockâJesusâyouâre gonna ruin me.â
âTell meâŚâ
It comes out of you soft, shakyâyour voice splintering on a moan when he curls his fingers just right inside you.
He smirks against your neck, lips grazing your skin as he keeps moving those long, clever fingers in a slow, maddening rhythm.
âTell you what?â he murmurs, feigning innocence even as his thumb circles your clit with precision that makes your thighs shake.
You swallow hard, hips jerking against his hand, too far gone for pride.
âTell me what you thought about,â you gasp, âwhen you⌠when you jerked off to me.â
That makes him groan low in his chestâlike he wasnât expecting you to actually ask for the detailsâand his pace quickens without him even meaning to.
âHm?â His mouth curves against your jaw as his fingers work you faster, harder. âYou want me to tell you? Tell you exactly what I was thinking? What I wanted to do to you while I was getting myself off?â
You nod frantically, a broken moan spilling out as his fingers hit that spot inside you that makes your breath catch.
âYeah?â He breathes out a laugh, almost disbelieving, like he canât believe you want this filth out loud. âJesus Christ⌠okay.â
He kisses you onceâhard, messyâbefore leaning back just enough to look at you, his pupils blown wide, lips slick from kissing you.
âFirst time?â He pauses, curls his fingers deep inside you again. You whimper and nod for him to keep going. âFirst time was after I saw you in that little black bikini in my kitchen, drinking out of my water bottle like you fucking owned it. Thought about getting on my knees right there on the tile and tasting you until you couldnât stand.â
Your eyes flutter, head falling back as heat burns through your stomach.
âSpencerââ
He keeps talking, rambling now, like the words canât stop coming out of him.
âSecond time,â he continues, voice rougher now, âI imagined you in my bed. Just like this. My hand between your legs, you soaking my sheets while I made you come on my fingers first⌠so tight and wet for me, fuck⌠just like you are right now.â
His thumb presses harder on your clit like punctuation, making your hips jolt.
âGod, you feel even better than I thought you would,â he mutters, almost to himself, eyes locked on where his hand disappears between your thighs. âThought about spreading you open, fucking you slow first⌠making you beg for it before I gave you what you wanted. Did you want that? You want my cock the way I thought about it?â
You whimper something that might be âyes,â but heâs curling his fingers so deep and fast now it barely comes out at all.
âYeah, you do,â he says, voice low, filthy, lips brushing your ear. âWanted to fuck you so hard this whole fucking house heard you screaming my name. Wanted to fill you up so bad you couldnât walk straight the next morning.â
âSpencerââ Itâs almost a cry this time, your walls tightening around his fingers as you feel the edge creeping closer, hot and relentless.
He kisses you again, swallowing the moan that slips out of you when he adds a third finger, stretching you open, fucking you rougher now.
âYou close, sweetheart?â he murmurs against your lips, pace unrelenting. ââCause Iâm not stopping until you soak my fucking hand. You hear me?â
His mouth moves to your throat, sucking bruises into your skin while his fingers drive you closer and closer to the edge, the filthy words spilling from him in a constant stream.
âGonna make you come so hard on my hand first⌠then Iâm gonna fuck you stupid just like I thought about. God, you feel like heaven around my fingers, canât wait to feel you on my cockââ
You break apart under him with a sharp cry, back arching, thighs trembling as the orgasm rips through you.
He groans into your neck when he feels you clench and pulse around his fingers, fucking you through it slow, drawing it out until youâre panting beneath him.
âGood girl,â he mutters, voice low and rough, kissing you like he canât help himself.
He pulls his fingers from you slow, watching the way your slick clings to him before he lifts them to his mouth.
âJesus Christ,â he mutters, licking them clean, groaning low in his throat like he can taste your orgasm on his tongue. âSweetest thing Iâve ever fucking had.â
Your thighs squeeze together instinctively, still trembling from what he just did, but then heâs sitting back on his knees, shoving his linen shorts down fast.
Andâoh God.
His cock smacks up against his stomach, big and flushed and hard as hell, thick enough to make your pulse skip.
You stare. Canât help it.
He notices instantly, smirking faintly as his hand wraps around himself, giving one slow stroke.
âYouâre staring,â he murmurs, voice dark but amused.
Your eyes drag back up to his, lips parting. âCan you blame me?â
He huffs out a laugh, leaning over you again, his hands coming up to squeeze your breasts roughly before his mouth crashes to yours in a wet, messy kiss.
âGod, youâre a bad girl,â he mutters against your lips, cock dragging through your soaked folds now, teasing you until your hips are moving on their own. âA bad⌠bad⌠girl.â
He hooks your legs wider, lifting them up around his waist, adjusting until his tip catches right where you need him.
âFuck⌠you gonna take it?â he smirks, the head of his cock sliding through your slick, coating himself in you.
âYes⌠yesâŚâ you whimper, fingers twisting in the sheets.
His jaw tightens, breath heavy. âI wonât be gentle. Fuck, I canât. Even if I wanted toââ
âBe rough,â you interrupt, voice cracking on the plea.
Thatâs all the permission he needs.
He grips your hips, groaning loud as he pushes into you in one hard, deep thrust, bottoming out so fast your back arches off the bed with a broken cry.
âJesus fuck,â he snarls, head dropping to your shoulder as he feels you clench tight around him. âYouâre gonna kill me. Youâre so⌠fucking⌠tight.â
He doesnât move right away, like heâs holding on by a thread, his fingers digging bruises into your hips while you adjust around him.
âSpencer,â you whimper, legs tightening around his waist.
He groans, lips dragging along your neck. âYou feel even better than I dreamed about. Every single night since you walked in my house with that sweet little ass and those tiny fucking bikinis⌠been thinking about this. Thinking about splitting you open on my cock till you scream for me.â
Then he pulls out nearly to the tip and slams back in, hard enough to make the headboard crack the wall.
You moan loud, gripping at his shoulders.
âThat what you wanted?â he growls, fucking you deep now, rough and fast, every thrust punching out moans you canât hold back. âWanted my cock? Wanted me to lose my fucking mind over you? âCause congratulations, sweetheart, you did. Been jerking off in my shower every night since you got hereâthinking about bending you over my counter, this bed, the fucking pool if Iâm honestâfuckâyou feel so goodââ
His pace turns brutal, hips snapping into you hard, the sound of skin on skin echoing through the room mixed with his filthy words.
âSuch a perfect little pussy,â he groans, sucking a mark into your neck before his mouth moves to your breast, biting lightly around your nipple as he slams into you. âGonna make you come on my cock. Wanna feel you squeeze the fuck outta me while I fuck you stupid.â
âSpencerââ
âYeah, say my name just like that,â he pants, his hand leaving your hip to rub your clit fast, rough, timed with each hard thrust. âGod, youâre taking me so good, baby. Like you were made for it. You like it rough? Hm? Like me ruining you for anyone else?â
You nod frantically, nails dragging down his back as the coil in your stomach snaps tighter and tighter.
âGonna fill this perfect little cunt up,â he growls in your ear, fucking you so hard the bed shakes. âMake you drip with me all fucking night.â
And youâre goneâshattering around him with a sharp cry, your whole body tensing as you come hard on his cock, clenching so tight he swears loud, head dropping to your shoulder as his thrusts turn desperate, ragged.
âFuckfuckfuckââ he groans, rutting deep, spilling into you with a low, broken moan as he jerks through it, grinding you down into the mattress until youâre both panting messes.
The room was still thick with heat, the air buzzing with it, your body still trembling faintly under him. The only sound for a moment was both of you breathingâragged, unevenâlike youâd both just run ten miles.
He shifted just enough to press a kiss to your shoulder, lips soft, lingering there like he didnât want to pull away yet.
âYou okay?â he asked, voice low, rough around the edges.
âYes⌠Iâm okay,â you whispered, still catching your breath. âAre you?â
He gave this soft, almost incredulous laugh against your skin, shaking his head slightly. âIâm so⌠so okay,â he murmured with a grin you could feel against your shoulder. âLike⌠dangerously okay. Probably the best Iâve been in a while, actually.â
His hands were still on you, palms big and warm as they dragged slow over your sides, your hips, your thighsâtouching like he didnât want to stop, like he couldnât.
You huffed out a disbelieving laugh, covering your face with one hand. âOh my God⌠I canât believe we did that.â
That made him laugh softly too, kissing the spot just under your ear. âDo you regret it already?â he teased, voice playful but with this undercurrent of something real in it, like he actually wanted to know.
You shook your head instantly, meeting his eyes. âAbsolutely not⌠felt too good to regret that.â
Something about that made his mouth curve into this crooked little smile as he exhaled a soft, âJesus.â He bent to kiss you againâslower this time, messier too, like he was trying to taste the words right out of your mouth.
And then you felt itâhis hips shifting.
Not pulling out. Not yet. Just this slow, lazy roll forward, his cock still deep inside you, making your breath hitch at the stretch all over again.
âSpencerâŚâ you whispered, half a moan, half a plea, but you didnât tell him to stop.
âYou feelâŚâ He groaned, trailing off like he couldnât even get the sentence out properly. His hand slid down your side again, over your stomach, to hold your thigh open wider. ââŚso fucking amazing. Like you were made for me or something. Tightest, sweetest little thing Iâve ever been inside, swear to God.â
The words were filth but his voice was soft, reverent even, like he couldnât help it.
He stayed buried deep, hips moving in these slow, shallow thrusts that werenât really about getting off againâjust about staying connected, about feeling you everywhere.
âDid you know,â he murmured, lips brushing your temple as he talked, âthereâs, um⌠actual science⌠about how long-term physical closeness releases oxytocin, lowers stress, even boosts immunity? Like technically⌠me staying inside you right now could be improving both our immune systems.â
You laughed softly, shaking your head. âYouâre such a nerd.â
He smirked, kissing you again before whispering against your lips, âYeah, but Iâm your nerd now, right?â
He didnât give you time to answer before his mouth started trailing down your neck again, slower this time, almost lazy with it, kissing and nipping gently like he was memorizing you.
One of his hands drifted up to cup your breast, thumb brushing over your nipple while his other hand kept stroking your thigh softly.
âYouâre gonna make me obsessed with you,â he admitted against your collarbone, voice low but serious now. âAlready feel like I am, if Iâm being honest. Havenât stopped thinking about you since you got here. Kept telling myself not to touch you, that you were off-limits, that I was too fucking old for you, but Jesus Christâthen you had to go and wear that baby blue bikiniâŚâ
You smirked faintly, running your fingers through his hair. âSo this is my fault?â
âAbsolutely,â he said without hesitation, lifting his head to kiss you softly, slow this time, a stark contrast to how heâd just fucked you into the mattress.
When he finally did pull out, he cursed softly under his breath at the mess between you, grabbing a towel from the chair nearby. He cleaned you up carefully, almost tenderly, like he wanted to make sure you didnât move a muscle you didnât have to.
Then he crawled back over you, laying down this time, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you against his chest.
âNot done with you,â he muttered against your hair, voice already sounding drowsy but hands still roaming your back, your hips, everywhere he could reach.
âGood,â you whispered back, smiling faintly into his neck.
You send the guy you were dating pictures of you in lingerie by accident.

You were halfway through tugging your jeans back on when you realised something was terribly off.
Cat should've been blowing up your phone in all caps by now â a 'GODDAMN BABE YOU LOOK HOTTT', or at the very least, 'buy both, coward'. But your screen remained stubbornly silent. Save for one text you didn't get a good look at.
Weird.
You yanked the curtains open, lingerie draped over your forearms as you shuffled out of the fitting rooms. Swiping your lock screen to open the most recent message. Your thumb hovers over the opened chat and you choke on your breath. No. Oh no. No no no no.
It's staring right back at you. In unforgiving grey & white. Clark Kent. Packaged with two little blue check marks sitting all innocent underneath what you'd consider the most unsexy tit and rump pics of what you'd tried on earlier.
"H-Holy shit," you croak, all too dramatically slumping into the mannequin beside you. You tossed your phone into the clearance panties basket as if that would've reversed the crime scene.
Your heart's slamming out of your ribs when you shakily grab for your phone, hoping it was a hallucination that you hadn't sent racy pics to a man you'd barely been on two dates with. Mr Small-town-farm-boy. The same man who would pull away burned the second your tongue met his lips.
This was it. You were drafting your obituaries in your head â local woman perishes after sending unsolicited boob pics to the most pure adult male alive.
A buzz from your phone nearly has you whipping it, you shakily look down at the thread.
[6:05PM]
You: Blue or purple??
You: [4 Attached Images]
[6:18PM]
Clark Kent: I think the blue one looks lovely on you. đ
You're staring at your phone like he'd send you a response in a different language. Lovely. He said you looked lovely, with a freaking millennial smiley face. Your insides do a somersault. Did he like it? Or was this a pity 'lovely' like he was trying to be nice?
You dial Cat's number before you spiral any further.
"Kill me," you breathe out all at once. Clutching the mannequin next to you, staring face-first at the green crotchless underwear in your eyeline.
"Hello to you too," there's an amusement to her voice, replying coolly like this was a regular occurrence, "what did you do this time?"
"I messed up. Big time."
"Easy, babe. What'd you do? Need me to bail you out of jail or something?"
"Worse. I sent Clark Kent boob pics."
There's a beat of silence across the line, and you yank your phone away from your ears when a loud cackling rings out. "No, you didn't."
"I so did!" You whine loudly, resting your forehead on the mannequin. "And it wasn't even hot. I look likeâŚ.like I'm posing for an overtly-sexualised pudding commercial â CAT. STOP. LAUGHING. Tell me what to do!"
"Okay, okay. Breathe," she's still wheezing between syllables, "what did he say?"
You pull your phone back to squint at the text, and then hold it to your ears. Biting on your thumb. "He said I lookedâŚlovely."
Another round of shrill laughter explodes through the speaker, "girl, GIRL. DO NOT tell him you sent them by accident. Don't you break his cotton candy heart."
"He's gonna think I'm some stupid over-eager slut, Cat!" You're pacing back and forth like a crazy person, gripped around the mannequin for emotional support.
"Oh please! He's still a man. Just roll with it. Let him think you sent them purposely."
"That's insane." You mumble, thumbs already hovering over the keyboard.
"That's how you're gonna get laid."
You're about to argue, but you type out a draft message, thinking more through your pussy than your mind. And thenâŚyou click the send button.
"Did you do it?"
"Yeah. I'm just gonna waiâ"
Your phone buzzes damn near in seconds.
[6:38PM]
You: You really think so?
[6:38PM]
Clark Kent: ues you look perfecft
Clark Kent: perfect.
You're frowning at your phone at the uncharacteristic typo, and then you screenshot the thread to forward it to Cat.
"Oh hon he's one hundred percent typing with his dick in his hand."
"Shut up," you manage through a grin, "okay, bye bitch, I'm gonna go pay for the blue one."
"Over-eager-slut."
You roll your eyes, hanging up while you're smiling your way to check out.
Clark had been palming himself for the past five minutes. Or at least, he was, until it got way too painful to just rub at his hard-on. He fully had his cock in his palm now, pumping himself slow, with the picture of you on full screen, splayed on his device.
It wasn't a sexy picture â not really, you thought. But the half smile on your lips? The soft curves of your chest he'd been fantasizing seeing, in a lacy blue fabric?
You devastated him.
He tried to type something sweet back, something that wouldn't expose the fact that he was stroking his cock silly like some easily excitable hormonal teenager. He settles for something safe, because that's what you looked like to him always, lovely. Oh..so lovely.
Clark's thumbs rub at the leaking tip of the slit on his cock head. Eyes unfocused, he zooms in on your tits, noticing a glimpse of your areolas. "âŚ!"
He could feel you on his tongue, rolling the shy nubs until they hardened. He wanted to suck around the fat andâŚ.AndâŚit's too much. It was too much.
"OhâŚmygosh â" He clicks the side button of the phone. Nothing but the black screen reflecting his still throbbing cock, now bubbling over with thick spurts of pent-up cum. It dribbles over his thumbs, landing onto the device. Clark's panting roughly, rubbing it clean clumsily with the waistband of his pants.
And because Clark Kent was the way he was? With restraint barely carved into his DNA? He does the only thing that's sensible. Especially after violating your likeness.
[7:10PM]
Clark Kent: I'm sorry.
Clark Kent: I can't make it to dinner tonight.
His pulse was hammering in his throat. Leaning back in his armchair to set his phone down. He couldn't face you like this, not when just the sight of you now was enough for him to want to pounce on you and fuck you senseless.
Clark's phone began to ring the tune of one of The Mighty Crabjoys songs. He froze at the incoming call that flashed a picture he took of you, smiling while holding one of your very first articles making headlines on the paper.
He hesitated for a second, but picks up after the second ring.
"Hello?" His voice was terse.
"Clark? Why'd you cancel? Did I do something wrong?" Clark's groaning internally at the worry in your voice. "I â It's not that, It's not you, I just â" His voice is faltering, hesitating.
Your brows knit into a furrow. Something was wrong. With the way he was stuttering at every word, "Clark." You repeat, softer. Heart racing with Cat's teasing words from earlier.
He grits his teeth, head rested on the edge of his chair, your voice settling in his ears like honey. His hand moves downward to idly rub at his still half-hard cock. "Y..Yeah?" He grunts softer and his tip twitches beneath his palm.
Your breath hitches, "âŚam I interrupting something?"
Clark goes radio silent for far too long and you hear it â his breathing, slow and strained. Inhaling, then exhaling like he was pained.
Finally, he speaks, low, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Ever since you sent me those pictures â I-I'm such a sleaze. It's not anything you did wrong, I swear."
Your lips part with a stuttered breath. Cheeks warming instantaneously at his admission. You're setting your keys down by the doors.
The silence stretches uncomfortably, and he's calling your name, hesitant.
You swallow thickly, the words spilling out before you could consider them.
"You jerked off looking at me?"
There's a sharp inhale at the other end of the line, and then he cuts the call.
You stood there for a solid minute and a half. Staring at your phone.
He hung up.
He hung up in your face.
Offence prickled potent in your chest, but it doesn't last all that long. Your thighs squeeze tighter at the ringing revelation that he'd jerked off to you. Looking at pictures of you. It feels far too hot and heavy in your entryway suddenly.
Your screen lights up with another text.
[7:15PM]
Clark Kent: I know an apology won't cut it.
Clark Kent: I violated your trust.
Clark Kent: I understand if you no longer wish to see me.
[7:20PM]
Clark Kent: I'm sorry.
You hadn't replied, of course you hadn't. Why would he have thought that pathetic apology would've cut it? Nearly thirty minutes had passed since then. Clark lay face down in his sheets, mumbling to himself, mostly things about how he'd let down his ma by treating a girl he really fancied like this.
Idiot. He was such an idiot. You probably thought he was disgusting, and probably regretted ever even giving him a chance.
Bzzztt.
Clark shot up right like the vibration from his phone had shocked him. He sat up on his thighs, palms flat down on his bed with his phone between.
A message notification, from you.
He's clicking on it with shaky hands. Ready to see you sending a text to end things with him officially.
But it wasn't.
[8:02PM]
You: [1 Attached Video]
It was blurry at first, shaky. The frame tilted like you were fumbling trying to prop it against something. But the moment it eased? Clark was zeroing in on you. You, in that blue set, perched on your bed.
You were looking into the camera, biting down on your lips with a shy smile. Head tilted to look down as you smoothed the lace on your thighs. Then, you hook your fingers at the thin band of the thong to adjust it higher onto your hips.
Clark's hand snapped to his mouth. Muffling a curse he'd never say out loud. All blood rushing down south when you pick up the camera, angling it down to run your fingers over the thin lace covering your tits, shy areolas peeking through from the near translucent fabric.
He thought the picture alone was enough to wreck him. But this? This was you saying, it's okay, use me.
Your phone rings even before Clark can finish the video you'd sent him.
The first thing you hear isn't even a hello, it's the muffled click of his door, followed by a slow exhale.
"I don't deserve you."
Your lips twitch, fighting back a slow smile at the way his voice trembles. You drag your fingertips down your belly. Toying with the heart-shaped charm attached to the seams of your underwear.
"Did you like it?" You finally say, featherlight. Clark audibly groans at your voice. There's a pause, and then a laugh tumbles out, breathless at its edges. "I â I did. â Yeah. Gosh, I did. You're unreal. SoâŚso insanely stunning."
He hears a rustle on your end. You shuffle up your bed, wetting your lips, "âŚare you hard?
Clark hums a stuttered mhm. You hear him adjust, and he's rubbing at himself again, sighing, "I feel like some teenager. It's soâŚembarrassing."
There's a slow boyishness to his tone, and you're giggling, tracing your fingers over your nipples. "I reallyâŚliked how you sounded earlier." You admit.
"Yeah?" He laughs, palming his bulge a little harder, "you liked hearing me sound all pathetic, stroking myself for you?
You let out a stuttered breath, fingers rubbing down and beneath the lace covering your pussy, the sound of his voice teetering you over the edge to slip your fingers into you. Clark's listening to the dull schlick's of you touching yourself. He shuts his eyes, timing his idle rubs to your soft moans.
"I wishâŚyou were here."
There's a sudden silence after your honest whisper. "âŚClark?" You frown, looking at the line that wasn't hung up yet.
And then, there's a pounding at your door, like whoever behind was about to rip it off its hinges.
You jolt. Fumbling to grab the silk robe abandoned over your chair. The knocking all but grew more impatient, knocks reminiscent of someone trying not to break the door down. You barely make a proper knot at your hips as you open the door â eyes widening.
Clark Kent stands there, hunched over in your hallway. Panting like he'd just run a goddamn marathon. His hair was messy, glasses sitting crooked on his nose. His white shirt clung to him, sweaty particularly at the chest, wearing what seemed to be printed plaid pyjamas.
"Clark," you breathe out, hands stunted at your door frame. "I was just on theâŚphone with you. How did you get here so qui â"
"I was already in the area." He blurts out all too quickly. Chest still heaving with effort.
You look at him suspiciously, obviously still in what seemed to be sleep clothes, and sounding far too much like he was lying. But then you see how he's boring holes into you, at your robe. Gaze turning feral by the second as if he could see what was underneath the maroon silk.
Before you're able to press a little further, Clark's figure hunkers in. Forcing you to stumble backwards as he shuts the door behind him with a resounding click.
It's quiet, other than the sounds of his still-heavy breathing.
"You saidâŚyou wished I was here." He says, voice cracked and barely restrained.
"âŚI did."
The air whizzes at the speed of him closing the distance before he's on you â mouth crashing into yours, desperate and messy. His glasses bump into your nose, but he readjusts quickly. Kissing you like a man starved, hands trembling as they cup your jaw. His thumb steadied, feeling the way your cheeks hollow to keep up with him. When your tongue grazes over his lips, he doesn't pull away this time.
Instead, he groans into your mouth. His tongue licking into yours, and then over the softness of your lips. Clark walks you backwards and then lifts you up, like your weight didn't even matter. You squeak into his mouth, arms clambering to hook over his broad shoulders. You knees lock around his hips and he's walking ahead, not knowing his destination while he kisses at your neck.
"Where's â where's your bedroom?" He mutters low, the need in his voice sinking deep into your skin.
Your nose bumps into his glasses, chasing his lips. "D-Down the hall. Second door."
His hair feels wild beneath your fingers. Within barely a second, the walls blur, and he slams your room door open. Your breath catches in your throat at what seemed to be a crackling noise when the door hits your closet. You aren't able to see how the wood splintered beneath, and the hinges now creaked raw.
Thankfully, you're far too hazy to question it.
Clark tumbles into your bed, kissing down your collarbone and down to your sternum. "MmhââŚ" He sighs into your chest at the sweetness in your satisfied hums. Your robe snaps open, and you jolt. Staring down at your exposed body and up at Clark, who was pulling back, looking down at you with a slow shake of his head.
"The realâŚthingâŚfar..far better." He mutters more so to himself. Clark pulls his shirt over his head in one fluid movement, letting you marvel at his body. He smiles shyly, lifting your hand up. Looking at you now, he finds enough control in him to savour the sight.
He kisses at your knuckles, soft pecks travelling up your palms as he twists your wrist slightly. Trailing kisses up to your elbows. "I've been wanting to do this with youâŚfor far too long." He admits, breath ghosting your cheeks when he leans over.
You're squirming at the sensation, curling your head into your neck. "I-It didn't seem like it.."
Clark's shaking his head, burying his face into your pulse. Your fingers card through his curly locks. "That's not it. I've been going insane." You raise your brow at his exaggerated hand gesture, "I want to touch you, all the time, every time."
He pulls away, gazing at you. "But then you send me something like thatâŚhow could I not?"
Your eyes are wavering, looking at the scrunch of his features. You drag your fingers down his dimples, and he tilts his head to kiss at your fingers once more.
"Mmm. It wasn't meant for you." You say softly, with a teasing edge. Clark's expression twists, grabbing your wrists.
"Don't even joke about that. I'm barely holding back as is."
"I still don't get why you're trying to be gentle, Clark. I-I want you. Can't you see that?" You finally huff out, a slight resentment building in you at how long it took for you to get to this point.
"I don't want to hurt you." He finally admits after a beat.
"Hurt me how? I want this."
Clark exhales slow, and his hold on your wrists loosen, to guide you to rub at the length of his cock. Your breath stills, and you squeeze at the girth.
"Nghâthat'sâŚthat's why." He grits, seeing the way you were rendered silent just by feeling how big he was.
"O-Oh.." You murmur. Clark lets your wrists go, but you don't release him. Watching his lips press taut as you curiously venture, squeezing and rubbing at his more than impressive length in your softer hands. It wasn't a reaction he'd anticipated.
"You're okay? With this?" He manages through a strained pant. Hips bucking to your steady strokes of his clothed cock.
"Are you kidding? Why the hell would I not be? My boyfriend is hung, I'd be an idiot to complain."
Clark groans and lets out an embarrassed laughter, covering your mouth with the expanse of his palm. "G-Geez... Don'tâŚsay stuff like that." He mutters, head falling flush onto the sheets. You smile into his hand, and your hand wanders beneath his waistband.
He lets you touch him, rubbing his thick, throbbing length. Clark groans the second your fingers roll beneath his balls, "âŚo-ohmyâ g-gosh." His head goes dizzy, and he's blinking at you. "Where did you learn how to do that? Wait â no. Do not tell me." He warns, tugging his pants off quickly.
You grin, pecking at his jaw, ghosting a whisper, "college boyfriend."
Clark pulls back slowly, expression turning all serious. He didn't utter a single word.
Your bed frame groans when he flips you to your tummy all of a sudden. You gasp, perking up to look back at him, not seeing much but the intense look on his face. Clark's palm lay flat at your lower back, dragging his fingers over the pretty lace that curved around your hips and thighs.
You let out a shudder, trying to peek a glance at him. "Clark?" You try, growing worried that you might've upset him for real.
He doesn't answer you, and you soon understand why.
Your hips jump when he presses a kiss on the inside of your thighs. Then, he licks a stripe dangerously close to your puckered hole. "Mmn?!" You all but let out a stuttered gasp when he probes his tongue into your ass. Lips curved around it entirely, sucking and licking. The grunt that leaves you isn't something you recognise.
He holds you in place, tongue flicking over the ring. You don't fully process it, still breathing heavy at the aftermath of a pleasure you were not familiar with.
It's simple in Clark's mind though. He wanted to have the remainder of all your firsts.
He feels your hips tremble, and he soothes around the fat, head dipping lower to tug at your thong. You whimper at the string rubbing at your clit. He nudges his nose up your slick pussy, already wet from the stimulation so far. Your hips lift when he licks up your folds, his tongue poking into your pussy nice and slow.
"D-Didn't thinkâŚ.you had that in you."
Clark laughs, the vibrations sending an electric sensation of desire in you. "YeahâŚ" And he sucks at the softness, tongue grazing your clit. Your eyes roll back. You're close.
"ClarkâŚ" you whine, he hums in response, already aware âdiving back in. "Give it to me." He mutters, continuing to tongue fuck your pussy with a blinding pleasure. Your hips are writhing, but he keeps up, knowing you were so goddamn close with just how your pussy was trying to clamp down on his tongue and nose.
He must've been there forever, but he doesn't rise up, not even once, not even to take a breath. It was insane. It's like he didn't even need to. That man was giving your vibrator a run for its money, and you were feeling the full force of his apparent expertise in pussy eating. Something you didn't even anticipate him to be this frighteningly good at.
It takes you a second to register the strange shift in sensation, more importantly, the temperature. His mouth felt so hot â and suddenly, there's an icy chill. Grazing your pussy in a way that has your cunt clench. A startled shiver takes you, and you look over your shoulder.
"W-What the hell was that?"
Clark flinches for a second. Lifting his head. "I â uhâŚ" he begins, brushing his messy curls away from his face, "âŚI was chewing mints earlier. Do you feel uncomfortable?" he manages, voice strained.
You blink at him, not sure what to actually say. But it feltâŚ.good. "NoâŚd..do it again."
His lips quirk into a smile, seeing the curiosity on your features. Clark leans back down.
"O-Oh myâ..fuckingâŚgod, Clark!" You scream out, muffled into the sheets.
He takes his time, and like clockwork, you feel the familiar build. Your hips are nudging backwards, rubbing, grinding back into his face. And you cum. Hard.
Clark doesn't relent, licking you even as your thighs spasm through your release. He's suckling at your folds, kissing, flicking at your clit until you've pulled all stops, palm slapping onto the sheets.
He pulls away then. Licking his lips, watching you shake beneath him. Clark hooks his arm around your hips to turn you on your back. He leans down to kiss you, sucking your tongue with a gentle ease until you taste yourself. A heavy palm steadies on your head, soothing your hair down. "Easy, easy, baby. You're okay."
You're muttering incoherently into his neck, thighs shaking still from your come down. "I c-can't..s'too..much. It'sââŚcan't.."
Clark rubs at your hips, humming. "Mmhm. I know. I know." He peppers kisses down your cheeks, picking you up in his arms, rubbing you nice and slow. For a second, you actually think he would give you a break. But instead, his own legs pushes yours impossibly apart. His cock rests idly on your pussy.
You blink at him confused, and Clark guides your hand to rest at your belly. "I promise you." He murmurs, interlocking his fingers where it lay on you.
"You won't ever need to think about your college boyfriend when you're with me."
The possessiveness in his tone catches you off guard. "H-Hrrk!" Clark notches his cock into you, and then pushes in, slow, inch by inch. You grab at his forearm that rests beside your face, the other, glued to your belly. He's watching you, watching as your expression turns to utter shock when his cock presses, pokes where he held your palm steady.
Clark looks at you, panting heavily. The suction of your cunt, squeezing at his cock with a pleasure unmatched. "You're soâŚincredible.." He mutters, burying himself into you to the hilt. You groan loudly, fingertips tracing over the bulge on your belly. Clark presses down on it further, and your eyes roll back.
He leans down, breathing against the column on your throat. His hips pick up the pace, starting off with slow, yet hard rocks into you. "Mmâ..myg-goshâŚsoâŚtight." Your thighs squeeze around his hips, rocking to his movements. "N-No otherâŚno other guy will everâŚhave you like this. You..hear me?"
You're nodding, through the tears prickling at the side of your cheeks. He was fucking you so full, so deep, you aren't sure if you'll ever be able to recover from this man. Your grip around his arm turns into a claw. You're about to cum again, you feel it.
But Clark tuts, his hand moving off your belly to hold your jaw in place. "Don'tâŚcum." He mutters with a punishing edge, licking up your jaw slow. Your expression twists, and you clench instinctively around him.
"WâŚWhat?"
He groans when you somehow get even tighter around him, and he slumps over you. Grinding slow and deep into you. The wind is knocked out of you by the weight on your chest. But the sheer suffocation of his heavy body only served to drive you even more dumb.
You bite at his shoulder, arm slung loose around his back. "ClaaarkâŚ" You whine his name out, muffled. Tasting the saltiness of your own tears at his relentless thrusts. He's nosing at your jaw, thumbs tracing over the lace on your neglected tits.
"Gosh..even wore this..allâŚfor me.." His thumb rubs over the band, snapping it apart, earning a shocked gasp from you. You'd be angry at him for that later, but now? Now you were far too fucked out with how your pussy was throbbing, begging for release that he didn't allow you.
Clark leans down, massaging the softness he'd been fantasizing ever since you'd sent the pictures to him. His nose drags over the already hardened nubs, groaning into it, groping them with both his palms. His balls tighten when you mewl as he suckles around the fat.
He breathes your name out, reverent, panting until he tenses. Clark pulls out at the very last second. You blink hazily to see his thighs at the other side of your chest. He pumps himself once, then twice. Hot cum sputtering over your tits in jolts.
You're transfixed at the pearlescent white land on your chest. Wincing when some lands on your cheeks. Clark's eyes are fluttered shut, stroking and squeezing at the head, resting his cock on your sternum until the rest of his spend dribbles onto your collarbone.
He looks at you, with his head tilted. A lazy smile creeping on his lips when he spots you gathering some of his cum off your cheeks to lick your fingertips.
