Page 86 of Penalized Love

Her thighs tremble as she rides me, and her movements as she fucks me become more erratic. The sight of her climaxing is intoxicating, and I know I won’t last much longer. But I’m going to make her come one more time before I let go.

My hands slide down her body, gripping her hips tightly as I thrust up into her. Isla cries out, and her nails dig into my chest as she meets each of my thrusts.

“Asher.”Her voice is just above a whisper, but I’m so locked in on her it’s as if she has a megaphone to her lips.“I’m so close...”

“I know, sunshine.”I end my words with a grunt because I’m this close to losing it all.“Let go for me. I want to feel you come around my cock one more time.”

Isla’s body tenses as her back arches, and her head falls back once more as her orgasm crashes over her. The sensation of her pussy clenching around me is the straw that breaks everything inside of me, and with a final thrust, I follow her over the edge.

Isla collapses against my chest after a job well done. I wrap my arms around her, holding her close as we both come down from our highs.

“That was...”Isla mumbles against my skin. Her voice trails off, and I wonder if she’s about to pass out right here and now.

“Incredible,” I finish for her, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “Absolutely fucking incredible. Plus, that was lucky number three.”

ISLA

Ifeel myself waking up, although everything around me tells me I should still be asleep. When my eyes finally open, I’m greeted by darkness.

What time is it? Where the hell am I?

It’s then that the memories of last night flood my senses. Then I realize my hand is resting on a very hard chest. There’s an arm wrapped around my waist, as if the owner is afraid to let go.

All of this feels like I’m caught in a dream that I never want to wake up from, but the reality is that I need to move because I shouldn’t be here.

My dad is just a few floors down, unaware that his daughter snuck out in the middle of the night to be with his right wing. The guilt is there, sure, but it’s drowned out by how right this feels. Eventhough I’m panicking about how this could go wrong in the blink of an eye, I feel safe in Asher’s arms, with him sleeping beside me.

I reluctantly lift my hand off Asher’s chest and try to get myself out of his embrace, but I struggle a bit. The mattress dips and creaks beneath my movements, and I hold my breath, praying that I don’t end up waking him up. After all, he needshis rest way more than I do, and I might get a few more hours of sleep once I’m back in Dad’s room.

Although I have a hard time removing his arm, I’m closer to being free. I shiver a little due to how cool the room is because the covers have shifted enough that more of my naked body is exposed. Not to mention, Asher’s body heat must have been doing an excellent job of keeping me warm. I reach over to grab my phone and check the time.

4:14 a.m.

Damn, it’s early, but I’m grateful I woke up on my own. I forgot to set an alarm to wake up and go back to my room. Not to mention, there are no missed calls or text messages from Dad, leading me to assume that he doesn’t know I’m gone.

As I take a deep breath because I think I might finally manage to escape, the arm around my waist tightens, pulling me back against a solid chest. Asher’s breath is warm against my neck as he murmurs, voice rough with sleep,“Where do you think you’re going?”

I shiver, but this time, it has nothing to do with the chill in the room.“I need to get back before my dad wakes up and realizes I’m gone.”

Asher’s lips graze along the shell of my ear. The motion sends a tingle down my spine, and I can’t help but wonder if he’s doing this on purpose.“Not yet,”he whispers.“Stay with me a little longer.”

I melt into his embrace, but know I can’t stay.“Asher, we can’t...”My protest is halfhearted, but it still needs to be said.

“How about we go take a shower instead? I’ll have you in and out of there in a few minutes, and it will be one less thing to do when you go back to your room.”

“I took a shower last night, though…”I say, wondering where this is going.

“Yes, but it wasn’t with me. I can help you reach those places that are hard to or that you might have missed.”

The deepness of his voice first thing in the morning is doing something to my brain. Given what time it is, I’m not thinking straight, and I have a feeling that I know what he’s thinking about doing if I decide to take a shower with him.

“Bennett, you know this isn’t a good idea and?—”

My words die on my lips because he shifts our bodies so he’s hovering over me. A small groan leaves his lips before he says,“Let me take care of you, Isla. Just for a little while longer.”

And that’s all it takes. I nod along, even though he can’t see me. That’s when it clicks that I need to say the words.“Yes, I’ll stay for a little while longer.”
