GHOST

Ivy & Piper’s Guide to Life Rule Number Thirty-One:

Establish clear boundaries upfront.

I didn’t need to be asked twice. I carried Piper into the bedroom and tossed her onto the bed before stripping off her yoga pants, growling when I encountered nothing but damp, bare skin.

No panties.

Fuck, she was trying to kill me.

“Jesus, darlin’,” I said, running my hands up her thighs.

She spread her legs and arched her back invitingly. I could see how wet she was already, her arousal glistening on her inner thighs.

“Please,” she whimpered.

I smirked, enjoying her desperation. “Please what? Use your words. Tell me exactly what you need.”

Piper ground shamelessly against my hand. “Touch me. Please.”

I slid my middle finger inside her, slowly pumping in and out while using my other hand to push her shirt up.

“Goddamn. These are new,” I said, cupping her tits in my hand. Last night, with her bra on, it had been hard to tell. But there was no denying her breasts were fuller now, heavier in my palms. I brushed my thumb over them, her nipples already stiff and begging for attention.

“Having a baby does that,” she said with a gasp.

“Fuck, I wish I’d been here while you were knocked up. Because these—” I leaned down to tease her nipples with my tongue before sucking one into my mouth with a groan. “These would’ve been in my mouth every damn day.”

My cock strained painfully against my jeans just thinking about it. I added another finger, stroking along her front wall until her back came off the bed.

“More,” she gasped, tangling her fingers in my hair. “Please, I need more. I’m close.”

“Close? Well, that just won’t do,” I drawled as I guided a third finger into her tight pussy and increased the pace before working my jeans down just enough to free my shaft, stroking it as I fingered her.

“Come for me, darlin’,” I demanded. “Let me feel that sweet pussy dripping all over my hand.”

Piper’s eyes rolled back, her walls fluttering around my fingers. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her as she writhed beneath me, lost in pleasure. Her lips parted on a breathy moan, and I surged forward to capture them with my own, greedily swallowing her cries as I drove her closer to the edge.

Her body shuddered beneath me, her inner muscles clamping down on my fingers as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her. I kept stroking, drawing out her orgasm until she was a trembling, whimpering mess.

“That’s it, darlin’,” I said against her neck, pressing open-mouthed kisses along her throat. “So fucking beautiful when you come for me.”

“Dane,” she panted, wrapping her hand around my shaft. “I need you inside me.”

I struggled to maintain control even as my hips rocked into her touch. “I don’t—I don’t have a condom.”

Piper’s green eyes met mine, pupils blown wide with lust. “I need to feel you,” she said, guiding the head of my cock to her soaked entrance.

“Wait, baby.” I braced myself on my forearms before gritting out, “Are you on birth control? ”

She bit her lip and shook her head. “No…”

Jesus fuck. The thought of taking her bare, of potentially getting her pregnant again…

The rational part of my brain knew we should stop, but my body had other ideas. I pushed forward and breached her with the tip of my cock, both of us groaning at the sensation.

“Not like this.” I clenched my jaw and forced myself to pull back, everything in me rebelling against it. “Our first time together in two years isn’t going to be a rushed fuck while our daughter naps in the next room. You deserve better than that.”

Piper trailed her fingers down my chest, a pretty blush staining her cheeks as she admitted, “But I want to make you feel good.”

The protest died on my tongue as she pushed me onto my back and straddled my hips. She stripped off her shirt and bra before leaning down to capture my mouth in a searing kiss.

My hands roamed her soft skin, relearning every curve. I traced the pronounced curve of her hips and the stretch marks on her belly with reverence, amazed by how her body had changed to bring our daughter into the world.

When she began rocking back against my cock with little breathy moans, I had to squeeze her hips in warning.

“Don’t be a brat,” I forced out through clenched teeth.

“I’m not,” she said, hissing through her teeth as the tip hit her clit just right.

I groaned as she rocked against me, her slick heat teasing my aching cock.

“You need to come again, don’t you?” I asked, already knowing the answer.

She managed a shaky nod. I put my hands under her thighs and adjusted her position so the length of my cock nestled against her pussy lips.

“Ride it,” I said. When she reached down to guide me inside, I stopped her. “Like this.”

Piper shuddered as I dragged her forward and back, using my cock to create friction against her clit. “Right there,” she pleaded, bracing herself on my chest.

“Good girl. Tell me what else you need. ”

“You inside me,” she whispered, her mouth curving up at the corner as she reached between us.

I caught her wrist and flipped her onto her stomach, bringing my palm down against her ass cheek before thrusting two fingers inside her dripping cunt. “Starting to think you like being a brat, baby.”

She slammed herself back on my fingers, begging, “More.”

I added a third finger, growling at the sight of her stretching around me.

“Harder.”

The sounds of her wet pussy filled the room as I fucked her with my hand, her inner walls rhythmically squeezing my fingers before she came with a strangled sob.

“That’s my girl. Keep going,” I said, changing up the speed to prolong her orgasm until she was squirting against my hand.

And fuck, if that wasn’t the sexiest thing I’d ever witnessed.

“Dane,” Piper whimpered, her leg muscles quivering. “I can’t.”

“You’re doing so good, baby,” I said, adjusting my angle to hit her G-spot better. “You can give me one more, can’t you?”

Her hips bucked wildly in response as she grabbed a fistful of the comforter, coating my hand and the comforter in her cum.

I brought my fingers to my lips, groaning as soon as the taste of her hit my tongue. “Goddamn, you taste good.”

Piper peered back at me through a curtain of dark hair, her cheeks flushed. “I bet you do, too,” she whispered before crawling over to me. “Can I touch you?”

I made a guttural sound in the back of my throat and nodded, tracing the curve of her bottom lip. She gazed up at me with those big green eyes before swiping her tongue across my thumb.

“Suck,” I commanded, slowly pressing it into her mouth.

She obeyed instantly, working her tongue around the digit as if it were my cock.

“That’s it, baby,” I praised, unable to tear my eyes away from her mouth.

Piper reached down to grip my shaft, and my nostrils flared with the force of my breaths. I was already so close to coming, and she’d barely touched me.

“Do you want to watch me suck you?” She circled her fingers around the base and leaned in, lapping up a bead of precum glistening on the tip.

I fisted my hand in her hair and pressed my cock against her lips with a groan. “Fuck yes. Show me what that pretty little mouth can do.”

My head fell back as Piper took me into her hot, wet mouth. The feeling of her lips wrapped around me was even better than I remembered. She hollowed her cheeks, sucking hard as she bobbed her head.

Her tongue moved along the underside of my shaft, tracing the vein there, and my hips jerked involuntarily, forcing more of my length past her lips. What little control I had left snapped, and I thrust in as far as I could. The feel of her throat spasming around me nearly pushed me over the edge.

Piper pulled back to gasp for air, her eyes watering. “I want you to come on my stomach,” she panted before diving back down.

I managed a jerky nod, finding it difficult to focus on anything beyond the incredible suction of her mouth. Fat tears streamed down her cheeks as she deep-throated me, but she kept working my cock like a pro.

“Look at me while you suck my cock,” I ordered. When she gazed up at me through shimmering eyes, spit dripping down her chin, I thought I might lose it right then. “Good fucking girl.”

She hummed in pleasure at the praise, the vibrations shooting straight to my cock. One hand moved down to caress my balls while she bobbed her head, and I clenched my jaw so hard I thought my teeth might crack.

My pulse thundered in my ears as pressure built at the base of my spine.

“I’m close,” I grunted, my muscles tensing as I fought to hold back.

Piper pulled off me with an obscene pop, a string of saliva connecting the tip to her swollen lips. She lay back and spread her legs wide. With her hand wrapped around my shaft, she teased her clit with the blunt head, quickly jacking me to orgasm.

The muscles at the base of my cock contracted, and I came with a roar, painting her stomach and the thin strip of hair between her legs with ropes of cum .

Piper continued milking my cock, smearing my release across her skin. I watched through heavy-lidded eyes as she circled her clit with cum-slicked fingers.

It was the hottest fucking thing I’d ever seen.

“What are you doing, darlin’?” I asked, my spent cock twitching with renewed interest.

“Playing,” she said innocently, her lips quirking into a grin.

“Such a brat.”

“Is it wrong to want the real thing?” Piper pouted, releasing her grip on my cock to tease her nipples.

“Oh baby, this is real,” I assured her, squeezing her hip.

She shook her head in disagreement. “Remember? Real would be your cum inside me.”

Fuck me.

I groaned, raking a hand over my face as all the blood rushed south. “You can’t say shit like that.”

“Why not?” She grabbed my hand and pressed it to the curve of her belly. “You’re the one that said you wanted to see me pregnant.”

Mine. All fucking mine. Possessiveness blazed through me like a wildfire.

I let my head fall back, nostrils flaring with ragged breaths. Every shred of self-control I had left was hanging by a thread.

“Fucking do it,” I rasped. “Put my cum inside you where it belongs.”

Piper’s eyes darkened with lust as she coated her fingers in the mess on her stomach and positioned them at her entrance, teasing herself.

A little closer, baby…

Before she could push them into her body, a loud robotic voice announced, “Alarm. Front Door,” followed by a shrill beeping.

“Stay here!” I yelled, yanking on my jeans and snatching my gun from the nightstand.

Piper clutched a pillow to her chest, her eyes wide with fear. “What?—”

“It’s all right, baby. Stay put.” I quickly cleared the house room by room, surprised to find Avery still asleep when I entered the nursery.

With my gun raised and every sense on high alert, I crept down the hall into the living room to find the front door sitting open about an inch.

Heart pounding, I checked the perimeter outside, searching for any sign of an intruder. Nothing seemed out of place, but the hairs on the back of my neck stood up regardless.

Something wasn’t right.

The system was disarmed when I returned, and Piper was pacing the living room in her robe. “Did you find anything?” she asked, worry etched on her face.

“Nothing,” I said, shaking my head.

“I can’t remember if I locked up last night. Maybe it was the wind? The damn thing is glitchy as hell. I swear it goes off for no reason.”

I frowned, my instincts screaming it was more than just a glitchy system. “I checked all the locks before I crashed on the couch. Everything was secure.”

Piper chewed her lip, clearly unsettled. “Are you sure? Maybe I forgot…”

“I’m sure,” I said firmly.

Her eyes darted nervously to the front door. “So someone tried to break in?”

I didn’t want to scare her, but I didn’t want to downplay the situation. “It’s possible it was the wind, but I’ll reach out to some of our sub-contractors tomorrow about upgrading your system.”

She nodded, wrapping her arms around herself. I pulled her close, running my hands over her back.

“It’s okay, baby. I’ve got you,” I murmured. “No one’s getting past me.”

“My hero,” she said, a hint of playfulness returning to her voice. Her hands slid down my chest to the waistband of my jeans. “I think you deserve a reward.”

I groaned as she palmed me through the denim. My body was already responding to her touch, but my mind was still racing. “Wait?—”

She cut me off with an insistent kiss, backing me toward the bedroom. “Talk later—need you now.”

When she untied her robe, letting it fall open to reveal her naked body, my resolve crumbled. My lips collided with hers as I carried her to the bed, my earlier concerns fading to background noise.

“You’re going to kill me, woman,” I growled against her lips.

She rocked against me with an impatient whine. “Please…”

I notched myself at her entrance, gritting my teeth as I guided the head of my cock into her tight pussy.

Piper rolled her hips, urging me deeper when a piercing wail erupted from the baby monitor.

We froze, staring at each other with wide eyes before I reluctantly withdrew from the warmth of her body.

“No!” She threw her arm over her face with a muffled curse as Avery’s cries increased in volume.

I dropped a quick kiss to her sternum before tucking myself back into my jeans with a low chuckle. “I’ve got her.”
