It takes everything that I have not to pull her off the bench.

I move in front of her, crouching to come face to face. “What do you mean my mother is alive?”

Her tears fall like the steady Oregon rain, and I fight the need to wipe them away. “I was called into Dad’s office, and I was sure he knew I broke into it for you guys. But when I got in there, there was a woman. She looked so much like Miles, Brax. That’s when they told me he’s been hiding her all this time. That she was alive this entire time broke something in me. I’m sorry, it did. I didn’t know how to tell you because even though they asked me not to tell you two, I knew I had to. I couldn’t live in a world where you two thought she was still missing or dead. I just couldn’t. But to tell you? To be the one who changes everything between the three of us… I was scared, Brax. I completely spaced on the date. I didn’t mean to leave you alone. I’m so sorry,” she sobs. She can barely breathe through how violently she’s crying, and yet I can’t reach for her to comfort her because the weight of her words is so goddamn heavy.

“She’s alive? She left us? Or did your piece of shit father take her?”

She shakes her head, gaining some control of her emotions. “She said your father, Miles’s father, was going to kill her if she stayed. Mine saved her. I think…” She swallows. “I think they’re together.”

I look down, trying to forget all the times we’d had to hide from our father in some recessed corner of the house when he was in a drunken rage. The years after he’d gone to prison for beating a man to death at Zeke’s had been the most extraordinary years of our fucking lives.

But it’s not something we talk about.

“She didn’t want us to know? Still?” I ask, looking back up.

She shakes her head, minor sniffles still wracking her body. Her face is puffy, and the urge to kiss her senseless is one I don’t quite understand. Even though my brain tells me she acted irrationally, I don’t care. I fucking love her more than anything she could ever do wrong. None of it makes sense to me.

“I didn’t know how to tell you. I didn’t know what he’d do when I told you. But then, he burst into my house and said that Miles had been taken, and I forgot about everything. I had to get to you. I knew you’d be mad; I did. I expected it, but I didn’t know I forgot the appointment, Brax. I’m so fucking sorry.”

My hand instinctively reaches up and comforts her, giving her something to latch onto. She closes her eyes and nuzzles into my touch, tears trekking down her cheeks.

“I needed you. You’ve become something I not only crave but need. I don’t think this room is my safe space anymore. While it’s comfortable, you’ve become part of my safety, Aella. My brain doesn’t understand it yet, and I don’t know that it ever will. But even when things are hard, I need you to fight them with me. For me.”

Her eyes open, her blue pools glistening with emotion. “I will. I can do that.”

It feels as if, at this moment, the fog lifts. Something has shifted back into place in my life, and I’m whole again. I stand, freeing my dick from my jeans. “But that doesn’t mean you’re not in trouble for leaving me stranded without you, Bambi.”

Her eyes look up at me as I shove myself into her mouth. She can’t fight, but I don’t think she would. Her hot mouth closes around me as I thrust shallowly into it, trying to get used to the feel of her as I fuck her.

“You can’t go unpunished,” I grit out, my hands slinking into her hair and gripping tight.

She nods on my cock, closing her eyes and letting the feel of me invading her mouth loom.

“Open those pretty eyes for me, Bambi. I need to look into them while I fill your fucking mouth.”

For a moment, a few minutes strung together, we’re suspended in a space that only she and I will ever be in together. The world beyond the basement walls, with its red lights and calming tones, doesn’t exist. Only she and I do.

I shove deeper, feeling her gag reflex convulse for me. “Good girl,” I murmur, doing it over and over, the feel of her clamping on the head of me so fucking addictive. Watching my dick disappear inside her mouth is the most beautiful thing in the world. “Take that dick like a good fucking girl, that a girl,” I hiss, pushing deeper still. “Fuck, you’re my good girl, aren’t you?”

She doesn’t nod. She can’t. I’ve got her tightly in my grasp, fucking her face without a care in the world. But her eyes give me my answers.

Yes. Yes, she is.

“I’m going to use this mouth, fill it to the brim with my cum, and then I’m going to leave you here to think about what you did. Do you understand me?”

Her pupils flare in the red lights of the room.

“Goddamnit, I bet you’re so fucking wet for me, aren’t you, Bambi? So needy and ready for me to sink my fat cock inside you. But you won’t get rewarded tonight. You didn’t earn it… Shit…”

As if she knows what I like, she shoves forward and gags on me, but my cock slides even further as she continues to bob and give aid.

“Here it comes, my dirty little slut, drink down every fucking drop,” I grit out, teeth clenched.

My body stiffens, my pelvis thrust forward as my cock pulses out ropes of cum that slide down her throat. Aella works to swallow, knowing how much it’ll turn me on when she looks up at me with clean lips. Not a drop wasted.

After the last throes of orgasm leave me, I’m still hard for her, and I want nothing more than just to give over and fuck her senseless. But then Kylo comes barreling down the stairs. He takes in the scene before him momentarily. I’m still in Aella’s mouth, my hands gripping her tousled hair, and her ass is on full display in her ruined leggings.

He clears his throat, making eye contact with me instead of looking elsewhere. “We think we found where they’ve taken Miles.”
