Page 72 of Trial of Deceit

Jediah spat into her mouth, a mix of strawberries and her pussy, and Ashari swallowed without him having to implore her.

He gave her a final peck before pulling away.“Good wife,” he praised while his hands loosened in her hair.

Ashari couldn’t resist rolling her eyes this time.“Whatever.”

“See seh yu still alive after finally making me kiss you?See seh the world never end?”

“Shut up, Jediah,” she hissed while her heart raced, and he chuckled.She watched as Jediah’s hands crawled up her thighs, caressing them with passion and possessiveness.His eyes were bright from desire, making Ashari’s heart race from how desperately her body craved such a bad man.“Are you good now?”

He stopped admiring her body to ask, “Now you a ask that?”

“I said sorry.”

“And I said you’d pay.”

“How?”

“Don’ worry ’bout dat.Come ride it.”Jediah tugged his pants and boxers down, then sat.

Ashari climbed off the table.Her legs wobbled as she stepped toward him.She ignored Jediah’s chuckle as her attention drifted to the tip of his dick.Relief flooded her that it was no longer swollen from her painful bite.

He reached out and held her wrist, pulling her closer.“Mi good, queen.I promise.”

She chuckled as she landed on his lap.Throwing her arms over his shoulder, she teased, “You want me this badly?”

“Addicted to yu from the night yu run leff mi.”

“Stop,” Ashari laughed.

Jediah smirked.As the clouds burst and a heavy shower of rain poured down, Jediah helped Ashari onto his dick while holding her gaze.Ashari’s lips parted, sucking in a breath while a whimper left Jediah’s mouth as her walls enveloped him.His hard dick throbbed inside her with every inch until she took him to a hilt.

“Breathe to make it better,” Jediah reminded, his voice deeper than before.

She nodded and tossed her head back, giving him access to her neck.One of her hands crawled up the back of his neck as he leaned forward, the other gathering a fistful of his shirt as he thrusted into her.Somehow, the sound of the heavy raindrops beating against the gazebo’s roof amplified her senses.“Jed,” Ashari moaned, her hair rising all over her skin as he left kisses everywhere except her mouth.Painting her body with marks for the whole world to see that she was his.

Jediah was great at sex.He knew how to work her body like no one else could.

And as he continued with talented strokes that no one else had ever given her, Jediah filled something inside Ashari that was empty from yearning to be touched: being appreciated for who she was without the fear of inadequacy caused by constant comparisons.

As she reached her second orgasm, it dawned on her that she craved Jediah despite him being her bane.

She reached out and kissed him.Long and hard.

She knew she was ruined.

It’d hurt so much tomorrow when the local police raided the newest construction site.

Chapter seventeen

Ashari’sponytailwhippedaroundher face, some of the small braids stinging her cheeks from the ferocity of the wind.She hugged her body tighter, sighing hard as the waves continued to crash into the boardwalk.She knew this moment would’ve been hard, but she hadn’t expected it to be so lonely.

Atappingcame from behind her.Ashari looked over her shoulder, her shoulders sagging when she noticed Lyssa.The other woman had a scowl on her face; her cheeks were tinted red from the harshness of the sun’s glaring rays.Her hard stomps continued to pound against the boardwalk as she made her way toward Ashari.

A small smile came onto Ashari’s face as she watched the woman.Ashari continued to smile as Lyssa stopped beside her and ignored her gaze.“Thanks for coming.”

Lyssa glanced at the vase resting atop the boardwalk’s railing, then crossed her arms before looking toward the glistening sea.“I didn’t do this for you.I’m doing it for Romar.He was loyal to the case.”

“Lyssa…” she trailed off with a sigh, then winced as Lyssa’s cold glare set on her.
