“And what about you, Ghost?” she asked, using the nickname she’d given me.

Her hand sank inside my fatigues, and her confident grip closed around my length.

I pumped my hips into her grasp and whispered, “More than anything.” I meant it, more than I might admit to anyone else, even if it was coerced by her clever fingers.

She hadn’t been tended to, and I smelled her rising desire. If she wasn’t careful, I was going to fuck her right up against this wall. I doubted we’d get caught. There weren’t many people with access to this floor, but I didn’t really care. I wanted her enough to risk it.

Saphyra

As soon as he pursued me across the landing, I knew I had him. When prey runs from a predator, it only entices them more, and I was desperate for his touch. They’d all kept their distance, and that wasn’t what I wanted.

Alone, I felt vulnerable, but not when they were with me. I needed him to make me feel like I wasn’t losing them all. I wanted him to remind me how good it felt when we were together. It had been far too long.

His fists bunched in my skirts, gathering them up over my hips as I unfastened his pants and freed his pulsing length. My mouth watered remembering the way he tasted, but there wasn’t time.

My back hit the wall as he lifted my thighs around his waist and pushed my panties aside. His blunt tip surged against my slick folds and stretched me apart around his thick cock. I gasped at the forceful intrusion. It felt perfect, and as he began to move, I writhed with pleasure. Each measured stroke was driving me closer to the oblivion I craved. His lips crashed down, drinking my moans, and muffling my cries while the wet slapping of his body against mine echoed through the corridor.

“Rub your clit for me, princess,” he said between kisses. “I want to see your face when you come all over my knot.”

His fingers bit into my thighs as he fucked me harder and faster against that chilly metal wall. The sting of pain ratcheted up the pleasure, and I arched against him. My hands burrowed under the heavy drape of my skirt and found my clit between our surging bodies. At the first stroke, my body coiled, tightening around his thick, throbbing cock.

“Oh Stars, I’m gonna come,” I moaned.

A cocky grin bloomed on his face as the intensity of his thrusts increased. “Just like that, princess. That’s a good girl. Keep doing that, but you have to stay quiet or the entire city will hear you.”

The mirth was obvious as he focused on pounding into me. I bit my lower lip to stifle the cries that were seconds from pouring from my throat. His long, deep strokes urged me on and my fingers became more desperate as his knot swelled. The growing thickness pressed me open with each thrust and he groaned into my neck. “You feel so fucking good, baby. Come for me. Come for me right now.”

The words were like a switch and as he pushed his fully formed knot past my entrance and locked into place, I was filled completely. Every inch of sensitive flesh was alight with sensation, and I screamed as my orgasm crashed through me. My slick channel clamped down as fiery waves rolled along my skin, milking his hot seed into my waiting body.

“That’s my good girl. So fucking good.” He rocked his hips slowly as we rode out the final twinges of pleasure and the last pulses of his release emptied into me.

Yes, this was exactly what I needed. His words and our physical connection reminded me I wasn’t alone. Everything felt right when we were together.

His knot was still twitching inside me when I heard running feet. Ghost groaned, but not in pleasure this time, in annoyance. He arranged my skirts over my thighs, which were still wrapped around his waist, and lifted me from the wall. “We’re about to have company.”

My face burned with embarrassment when Lex, Shadow, Grey, and Titus came sprinting onto the walkway.

As soon as Titus saw what was happening, he spun around, averting his gaze, and called breathless apologies over his shoulder before he headed back the way they’d come.

Lex kept coming, flanked by my other men. “We heard a scream. Likely, so did everyone else.” His eyes shifted to the open chasm behind us before bringing his glare back to Ghost. “Take her to her room and get cleaned up. We have plans on the surface.”

Ghost gave him a nod, and without giving me time to respond, carried me, with his knot still locked inside, all the way to my rooms. Luckily, this level was mostly deserted, and we avoided any more unfortunate encounters. With as much care as he could muster, while we were held together, he lay me down on the thick pile of my bedding.

“I told you to be quiet.” Ghost smiled and pressed his weight down over me a little more firmly.

His cock shifted when he moved and his knot dislodged, but he made no move to pull free. Instead, he slowly rolled his hips until I was panting again.

“I love you, princess. Never forget it.”

With that declaration, he slid out, spilling cum and slick all over my bed in a gush of fluids. He had a self-satisfied grin on his face now that his sea wind scent drenched my blankets. He got up before I had a chance to say anything and went into the bathing room, only to return seconds later with a damp cloth to gently clean between my thighs.

The material was warm and wet as he dragged it across my overly sensitive skin. He was careful and meticulous, using just the right amount of pressure, soothing my puffy, swollen flesh with the soft fabric. Once I got over the initial twinge of embarrassment, my heart felt strangely content and full at the tender care he was giving me. When he was done, he dropped a kiss on my nose.

“Time to get dressed. We’re going up top.”
