Page 36 of Jared's Redemption

My control snaps with an audible growl under my breath as I charge towards her. I reach for her to throw her naked body over my shoulder, but she catches me off guard by leaping onto me and smashing her tits against my face.

I’m not ashamed to say this is a way I’d die happy. Until she grips my beard and yanks on the hair with eye watering strength. I grunt, staggering sideways with my arms wrapped around her as I collide with a wall to protect her back. The impact still knocks the air from her lungs with an oof. I bite her boob, hard, making her shriek as she claws my neck.

Finally catching her hand in mine, I twist to throw us to the ground and roll, using my weight to pin her to the floor. We are both panting and soaked by this point, and my bite mark on her skin makes my cock throb painfully in my pants.

“I need you.” She confesses with vulnerability in her eyes.

Chapter 26- Luna

The pain in my chest from the way he looked at my scarred body flared to life as I admitted why I was here. Hesitation in his eyes wasn’t enough to deter me when his rock hard length was pressed to my thigh and I wasn’t going anywhere. My leg hooks over his hip as I grind up against him, watching the way he reacts to me as he presses his open mouth to my neck.

“This isn’t happening.” He huffs, his hands rubbing over my thighs to grip my ass.

“Whatever this is, it ends here.” I smirk.

“You can’t end something that never started.” He finishes, repeating each other’s words from the first night we gave in to the tension. Jared’s mouth crashes to mine, his tongue diving in to swallow the moan from his fingers swirling around my clit.

I reach between us, flicking open his button and yanking the zipper down to free his cock into my hands. Stroking the smooth skin just makes my body ache for him even more, but he doesn’t make me wait. Jared grips my thighs, spreading them to press his cock against me. With one hard thrust, he buries himself inside me and my head thumps to the floor as I cry out from his thick length, stretching me.

“Fuck Luna, look at you taking my cock. Such a good girl.” He praises me with panted breaths, his kisses hot as they travel from my shoulder, over my collarbone and to the other shoulder. Tears well to my eyes from his slow, torturous thrusts along with him kissing my scars.

“You can’t kiss them away.” I say, locking eyes with him as he sits up. Jared wraps his arms around my waist, still buried inside me, as he stands. I drape my arms around his neck and a soft moan slips as he slams deeper inside me with each step. The bathroom light flicks on, filling the space as he sets me on my feet, spinning me to face the mirror. Jared slaps both my hands to the sink, kicking my feet apart as his hand slips up to grip my throat. The heated look he gives me through the mirror before lifting my leg with his free hand scorches me from the inside.

“Jared.” I plead, as he pushes his cock inside me again but doesn’t move. I struggle to rock my hips, needing the release he’s denying me.

“Look at you.” He commands, making my eyes open to take in the sight in the mirror. My eyes are wide, cheeks flushed, and lips swollen from the rough kissing. His hand is wrapped snug around my throat, pulling me back so I’m on full display.

“I know.” My voice cracks, a tear dripping down my cheek as my fake confidence shatters in his hands.

“No, you don’t. You earned these scars. Now you tell that woman she’s beautiful.” He demands, using his fingers to turn my face to lock eyes with myself. My mouth opens but snaps shut until Jared growls in annoyance, thrusting into me hard enough the countertop digs into my hips. My mouth falls open on the building pleasure he keeps denying me.

“Jared please.” I beg, reaching between my thighs to rub my clit, but Jared pins my body to the counter to stop me.

“You fought Luna, to your last breath. Tell my girl that she’s fucking perfect. That each scar is perfect.” He grinds the words out and tears fall from my eyes freely as I look at myself, truly look.

“She’s beautiful.” I say, meaning the words as I see myself through his eyes. Jared turns me in his arms, sitting my ass on the counter and spreading my thighs to plunge himself inside me. He holds me tight to him, his hips slapping against my thighs with each powerful thrust. My tears won’t stop, falling harder as pleasure builds at a blinding rate.

“That’s right, let go, baby.” He murmurs, his soft words so different from the punishing pace he’s set. My moans rise, with his name falling from my lips as my body clenches around him. Jared’s forehead drops to mine as his movements become erratic as he follows me, filling me with his release as I shake from the fading orgasm.

“Are you okay?” He asks breathlessly, using his thumb to swipe away the wetness on my cheeks before kissing under both eyes. I nod, wrapping my arms around his shoulders and burying my face against his neck. Jared slips from me, gently untangling from my arms as he grabs a washcloth and wets it in the sink, cleaning me up with a gentleness I’ve missed.

Jared grips my thighs, lifting me into his arms to carry me to the bedroom where he lays me on the bed, tucking me in and brushing the hair from my face. I catch his hand, holding it to my face as I feel him pulling away.

“Luna.” He says in a gentle tone. I shake my head, clinging to him and desperate to convince him to give us a real shot.

“No, you don’t get to leave. You say my scars are beautiful. Why can’t you see I feel the same way about you? Your soul is scarred, but it’s still beautiful.” I plead, sitting forward to cup his jaw and look him in the eyes as if I can force him to understand. He gives me a tight, sad smile.

“Sweetheart, I’m not a man who finds redemption for the sins I have committed. I don’t deserve a happy ending.” he says, pulling his hand away and standing to get clothes from the dresser. I watch him, a cold resolve settling in as I lay back.

“I’ll be your salvation. If not, then I’ll be your penance.” I say quietly as he leaves. Jared stops in the doorway, hand gripping the door before he steps out and pulls it shut. Burying my face in the pillow, I allow myself to sink into the misery and sob silently while buried in the smell of him. This wasn’t over and I will not let him destroy this to punish himself.

Chapter 27- Jared

Everything is burning, and I was trapped in the cloud of smoke. I couldn’t leave, even as everything around me is swallowed by the blaze of roaring fire. They were here, and I had to get them out. This was all my fault. Pulling my shirt off, I held it over my nose as I staggered through the dark smoke, waving my hand to clear the space in front of me. I tripped over something, throwing my hands out to catch my fall as I slammed to the hardwood floor and rolled onto my back.

A woman was lying on her side, a small child clasped in her arms with her back to me. I reach forward, my hand shaking as I grip her shoulder and turn her, my heart shattering when pale hair falls away from her face. Luna’s body is lifeless as her dull eyes stare past me at the ceiling. The child in her arms is gone, but I didn’t miss the flash of brown curls before she vanished.

“No, don’t do this. Don’t die on me.” I beg her, putting my head to her chest. Her skin is already cold to the touch, even as sweat drips from my body at the enclosing flames around us.
