Page 49 of Fighting

Filling herself with my swollen cock, she pauses and narrows her eyes. “Sweetheart, doll, princess… you throw all these names around because you never know who you’re with. I am not just some random fuckkk.”

I buck my hips, pulling that last syllable from her on a long groan.

“Fuck me, Ivy. You’re not a random fuck. You are Doctor—” I inhale sharply but force my hips to still. “Nessa. Fucking Rabin. There’s nobody like you out here.”

She continues to look at me pointedly, still not moving, torturing us both.

“Please, Nessa, please. I need to move. I need you to move. Please,” I beg. My smiles are gone, my desire taking over. My spine is tingling, and my balls are drawn tight, my cock painfully hard.

“Good boy.” She pats my chest. “You can move with me.” She rolls her hips, and I thrust up into her, keeping time until we’re a mess of grunts and moans and sighs.

“Holy shit. Fuck, Ivy. I’m close…” I stammer.

She tugs the necklace over her head and taps the button, then holds it against her clit. As the light vibrations cause her muscles to clench around me, spasming rhythmically, I lose all sense of control. The world around me falls away, and I spill into the condom. When my ears stop ringing, she’s still moaning, although the sounds quiet little by little. I don’t move. She’s still in charge. Eventually, she lifts, and I slip out of her. When we’re lying side by side, I turn and kiss her temple.

“These cuffs didn’t do much in the way of keeping me secured.” Grinning, I hold up my free hand.

With a huff, she shoves my chest.

“Take them back.” I release the one bracelet still circling my other wrist and hand it to her. “I’ll go toss this and bring you a towel.”

She must be sated because instead of arguing with me, she hums in agreement and buries her face in her pillow.

When I step back into the room a few minutes later, warm wet washcloth and a hand towel with me, she’s asleep, her blond hair fanned around her like a halo. I slide in and drape my arm over her, taking a full hand of her lace-covered tit. Without opening her eyes, she turns and nuzzles against my chest.

She whispers, “Oh, fuck. I forgot how much I enjoy that.”

Her breathing evens out quickly from there, but I lie awake for a long time, my nose buried in her golden hair, and inhale her sweet citrus scent—vanilla orange perfume; bright and tangy, just like her—mixed with the sweat and smell of sex that clings to the air.

I fall asleep hoping this is what we need to turn a corner.

Nessa

I waketo an unfamiliar glow and a shockingly loud snore.

It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust, and when they do, I find the digital clock.

Hisdigital clock. I fell asleep at Mateo’s. Fuck. I don’t do this. I don’t do sleepovers. I need to go home.

I slide out of bed and tiptoe to the living room to pull on my coat and boots. I make it to the front door without stirring him from sleep, but the moment I turn the deadbolt, I’ve been caught.

My morning has officially gone to shit when a siren, loud enough to wake the dead, wails.

“Stef never had a security system,” I say and shut the door.

Heart thrashing, I turn and come face to face with Mateo and his smug fucking smirk.

He shuffles to the keypad I hadn’t noticed, and the second the blaring stops, his phone rings. He brings it to his ear, gives them a password, then ends the call, his eyes locked on me the whole time.

Unfortunately, in a town this size, there isn’t exactly a lot of overnight excitement for any of the first responders, and amoment later, there’s a loud knock. Mateo opens the door and shakes hands with Liam.

“My man. I heard a rumor about this.” He points from me to Mateo and back again. He’s dressed in a navy T-shirt with the PSFD logo over one pec and a pair of navy pants. Thankfully, the crew didn’t show up in their turnout gear. That would have only made this moment more humiliating.

He keeps glancing at me, then looking away quickly, and that’s when I remember that all I’m wearing is lingerie and a trench coat. I pull the jacket tighter.

“William.” I nod.
