Page 100 of As Thick As Thieves

She threw herself at me and gave me a kiss, hugging me way too tightly for my healing body to handle, but I let her because any touch from her was worth it. “Thank you! I’ll be on protection details in no time!”

Knox gave me a look that said exactly what I was thinking. There was no way she’d ever go on those jobs. We could easily turn her into a thief, but she’d have to let us get our way with the tactical team.

We started making our way up the stairs, and I jerked in surprise as Penn’s hand slid into mine, cringing when I saw the dejected look on her face. At first, I thought she was just upset that I’d pulled back from her, but then I realized she was freaking out about being locked in here again.

I took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze, maneuvering her so that she was a step ahead of me. I didn’t want her doubting me, so if I put her ahead of me, she didn’t have to worry that I’d lock her in here. Her entire body relaxed, and she let my hand go to make it easier to walk up the stairs, but once we were outside, she laced our fingers together again as we walked towards the compound. A few of the lingering Thieves gave us curious looks, and just as I went to bite their heads off, Penn spoke.

“It’s okay to let people know you’re happy, you know? I can feel your anger from the way you're trying not to grip my hand and failing.”

I glanced down at her, finding her amused eyes on mine. “I’m not angry.”

“You look murderous. Relax, who gives a shit if people see you holding my hand?”

Knox was stalking ahead, but even he had Drake’s hand in his hold, ignoring the looks people threw at him. If that asshole could get over the public affection bullshit, then I could too.

Cruz sidled up to me, his phone pressed to his ear. “Can I trust you with Penn? Rory wants to look over the footage from yesterday. They’re trying to piece together the shooting at the track still, and they’re hoping this will help.”

I wanted to be offended, but I had no right to be. He was allowed to worry about leaving her with me.

“We’ll stay in the compound. Don’t go alone, take some guys with you,” I warned, and he quickly replied to whoever was on the phone, saying he’d be there soon with Knox and Drake. That meant he trusted me a little, right?

Knox had argued about leaving Penn alone with me, but Drake managed to convince him it would be fine, giving me a pointed look that said he’d kill me if I made him look like a liar.

“Go. Penn can pick a movie, and we’ll just hang around here, I promise,” I encouraged, wanting to be alone with her. I wanted to get her naked again, even if I couldn’t fuck her. Cruz knew exactly what I was thinking, though, his voice quiet as Penn let me go to kiss the other two goodbye.

“You only take it as far as she’s willing to go. Don’t be a dick if she gives you blue balls.”

“She can turn them purple if she wants, as long as she gets those clothes off,” I muttered, laughter leaving him as he clapped me on the back, making me wince as pain spread through me.

“Yeah, you’ve got it bad. We’ll be gone for at least an hour. Use the time wisely. And Stone?”

“Hmm?”

“I’m glad you finally let her in,” he replied with a small smile before moving towards the others, and I couldn’t help but watch them silently for a second. We’d always been a family, but Penn made it feel even better somehow. I couldn’t explain it, but my boys were so damn happy, and I loved that.

Once they were gone, I took Penn’s hand and led her to my bedroom, locking us inside. She raised an eyebrow, tilting her head slightly in question. “What are you doing?”

“Apologizing again. Get naked so I can say sorry,” I demanded, scowling when she didn’t move. “I meant now, Princess, not next week.”

“I bet your balls are starting to hurt,” she said offhandedly, and I let out a sigh of frustration.

“Babe, just get naked so you can sit on my face.”

She moved towards me, pulling her shirt over her head as she went, her bra and pants going next until she was only in her panties. I let her help me get my shirt off because that honestly still sucked to wrangle on my own, and I almost came when she dropped to her knees in front of me and started unbuckling my belt.

“My face is up here, Penelope. Sit on it,” I deadpanned, but she ignored me and yanked my jeans and boxers down, my dick more than happy with the attention she was giving it. Thanks to the one-sided foreplay this morning, I was already leaking pre-cum, and I had to put my hand out to brace against the door as she wrapped her fingers around my shaft and licked the head slowly. This was going to be the fastest blow job in history.

I cursed as she finally pushed me down her throat, working her hand in tandem with her mouth, and I tried hard to keep my hand out of her hair but it didn’t last long.

“Fuck, baby.” My thighs shook slightly, telling me I was definitely going to embarrass myself in a second, but I’d prefer to be quick with this and take my time once I got inside her pussy. I made the mistake of looking down at her, and the moment her pretty amber eyes met mine, I was a goner. My balls tightened and a sound between a whimper and a growl left me, my load spilling into her mouth as she swallowed every drop I gave her.

My legs were like jelly as she released me, getting to her feet as if we were done. I’d never be done with her, not now.

I kicked my jeans completely off, taking her hand and pulling her towards the bed. My dick was already growing hard again, and I wasn’t going to waste the time Cruz had given me. He could’ve taken Will or literally anyone else, but he’d taken Knox and Drake for me so I could have this time alone with her.

“Can I fuck you?” I asked, pushing her back onto the mattress to yank her panties down, shoving her legs open. “Holy fuck, you’re dripping. You liked sucking my dick?”

“I’m surprised I didn’t come, to be honest. I love that you aren’t afraid to make noises in the bedroom,” she grinned, reaching for me so that I was lying over her. “Don’t you need recovery time or something?”
