“Tell me, Ember. Who is the only person who will ever eat your pretty little pussy this good?”

“You,” I cried out.

“Say my name, princess.”

“Ash,” I moaned.

More sucking.

“Ash,” I repeated.

More thrusting.

“Ash.”

More flicking his tongue around my soaking wet pussy.

“Ash.”

“Ash.”

“Ash,”I wailed as my orgasm rocked through my body, sinking me into oblivion. My entire body went limp as I splayed out on my back. He crawled next to me, then pulled me into his arms. I was only briefly aware we were in public, in a forbidden place, lying on top of a rock.

“You were such a good girl, mi sol,” he whispered into the shell of my ear before I curled up with my back against his chest, living in the warmth that he put out.

Seconds passed. Maybe. I honestly couldn’t tell you if it had been seconds, minutes, or hours of us sitting out there, but it was a while before I heard anything other than the rhythmic beating of our hearts.

“Wait.” I shot into a sitting position. I looked down at Ash whose eyes widened immediately. “I didn’t get you off? Aren’t you going to get blue balls or something?” His cock was bulging behind his zipper.

Ash laughed so loud. He threw his hands to his face and crunched his body into the fetal position.

“That’s what you are worried about?” I nodded, not understanding. Of course, I was, I didn’t want to . . . hurt him, well, at least not right now.

Once he stopped chuckling, he sat up with me and brought me in for a hug. “We have plenty of time to remedy that.”

The sun was setting, and I’d be lying if I said being in these forbidden woods at night didn’t freak me out a little.

“We should get going,” Ash said, as if he’d read my thoughts. I nodded, and we grabbed our things before shoving them into his backpack. He reached his hand out and I grabbed him, hopping down from the rock onto the earthen path back to the car, keeping his hand in mine.

“How do you feel?” he asked as we hurried down the little muddy path where the car was.

“About you eating me out?” I questioned, my brow furrowing slightly and my eyes narrowing.

He laughed again. “Well, sure, but I meant about what you learned about your family.”

I had to think about it because I didn’t get a moment to process it earlier. Everything changed about me that night. As stupid as it sounded, I felt it deep inside of me. Mom was always right. I would always find the light. My mind opened up to see everything I had known as part of a bigger lie.

I tugged at my ear, a reminder of what the Den had done to me, and knew why I had been targeted.

I paused in the thick tree-lined forest floor and let go of his hand.

“What?” Ash asked as he shook his head.

“My tattoo,” I replied, pointing to where it was.

“You asked your one question.” He turned away from me.

“No,” I demanded, and pulled on his shoulder, forcing him to face me. “Is there something bigger than me going on? Is that what happened that night at the Den?” People viewed my innocence as stupidity, but they forget I loved living in the pages of books. I had read more crime novels, history books, and texts to start piecing together things that didn’t make sense.
