I collapsed onto the bed with him on top of me. My harsh breaths were muted by his weight on top of mine. After a moment, he slid off and pulled me against him. For some silly reason, I thought that would be the end of it, but then his hand found my breast again, and he started back up again.

“Ash…”

“Shh…You’ve got one more for me.”

“So tired,” I mumbled, but even as I said it, I knew it was a lie. My legs were shaking as he slid his other hand down to my sensitive pussy. I cried out the moment he touched me. I didn’t think I could take any more.

“You’re not that tired,” he chuckled.

My eyes went wide as I felt his cock nudge at my entrance from behind. I looked over my shoulder at him. “Youjustcame.”

“So did you.”

“But you’re…”

He grinned at me, circling my clit with his fingers. My mouth went dry as everything started throbbing. I felt like my whole body was on a tight string that was about to snap. His hips bucked against my backside, and something inside me snapped.

I rolled him over and straddled his thighs. His eyes lit with desire as he watched me take him in hand and slowly lower my body down on his. He groaned as his fingers dug into my waist and his hips bucked his cock up inside me. I rolled my hips and took him deeper, tossing my head back as I took a few moments to feel him inside me.

But in those few moments, he got tired of waiting for me and turned us until his legs were hanging over the side of the bed and he was sitting up. With his arms wrapped around me, he pulled me until my breasts were right in his face. He pulled one nipple into my mouth as I started riding him, getting myself off on his thick cock.

“Baby,” he murmured against my chest.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and held him to me as I ground my body against his. I was on a high like nothing else, my mind blissfully clear as I fucked him.

“Harder,” he groaned, grabbing my hips. He took a handful of my flesh and gripped on tight as he lifted me and slammed me down on his cock. I gasped and allowed him to do it again. “That’s it, baby. Ride me hard.”

I started moving faster until my thighs burned. With his hands still latched onto my hips, I wasn’t sure if I was moving myself or if he was doing it all for me. I just knew I never wanted it to end.

A blinding white light filled my vision as I came hard. His hands held my body down on his cock as he pulsed inside me, groaning against my chest. My heart was hammering in my chest as I sank against him and tried to feel my body again.

“I need another nap,” he mumbled against my chest, pressing kisses all over me.

“Don’t start that,” I groaned.

“Kissing you?”

“You know that’s not going to lead to a nap.”

“But it’ll sure make me feel better,” he chuckled.

I sighed heavily and rested my head on his shoulder. I was exhausted, my legs were sore, and laying down with him sounded really good right now. He must have sensed my exhaustion because he rolled me over, still inside me, and laid down on the bed with me.

As he pulled the covers over us, his cock slipped free from my body, leaving an empty feeling inside. I was sweaty and gross, but as soon as he snuggled in behind me, I decided I really didn’t care and let him wrap his warm body around mine.

“You stupid bitch!”

I jerked upright, a scream lodged in my throat. I was still sweaty, but this time it wasn’t from sex. I brushed my damp hair away from my face and looked around the dark room. The sheets were cool beside me and Asher had clearly been gone for hours. The shadows played tricks on my mind, making me think I was back in that cell. I scrambled for the nightstand and quickly turned on the light.

But even after taking a few deep breaths, I knew I wouldn’t fall back asleep on my own. I flung the covers off and ran for the bathroom, shoving the door open as I turned on the light. Shutting the door behind me, I quickly opened the medicine cabinet and stared at the medicine in front of me. I had been taking the meds every night to sleep, but hadn’t considered after having sex that I would wake up alone.

With sweat dripping down the back of my neck and the most recent attack still so fresh in my mind, I stared at the single pill in my hand and wondered if it would really be enough to knock me out. Even standing in the light of the bathroom, my hands were shaking and my heart was racing.

I glanced at the door and considered going to find Asher. If I could just be by his side, maybe I could calm down enough that I could just stay up the rest of the night without panicking. But then he would wonder what was wrong. I wouldn’t be able to hide this from him forever, not if I was always waking up shaking and screaming.

I squeezed my palm closed and stared at my gaunt face in the mirror. Despite the sheen of sweat covering me, my skin was pale. I couldn’t keep going on like this. And with the attack at my father’s house, I knew the nightmares would only get worse. I grabbed the bottle and shook out another pill.

Two would help me sleep. Two would end the nightmares and calm me down. Just for tonight, and then I’d figure out something else in the morning. I popped them in my mouth, then ran the water in the sink, drinking the pills down. I swiped the water off with the back of my hand and sank to the ground. I’d just stay here until the pills started to kick in, then I’d head to bed.
