CREW
“Crew!” she growled in frustration, her chest heaving. I could tell from the way her pussy spasmed that she’d been close to coming. She pulsed like she needed something to grip and a little bit more pressure to get her there.
“Patience,” I said, turning the vibe off and tossing it across the room. “I promised I’d take care of you, and I will. Don’t you trust me?”
Despite her obvious annoyance and the eyeroll I wanted to fuck right off her face, she nodded.
“Good girl.”
Roughly and without warning, I shoved three fingers in her cunt, and Aspen’s back bowed off the bed.
“Fucking hell,” she breathed.
“Gotta stretch you out.” Jesus, even full of three of my long, thick fingers, she was still incredibly tight. I was going to make her come like this, then I knew I couldn’t wait any longer to replace my hand with my cock. Pressing my pelvis deeper into the mattress, the pressure against my dick was the only thing keeping me from coming before I got inside her.
“That’s…a lot,” she whined, but slowly relaxed around me, en ough so I wouldn’t hurt her as I began to move. Not thrusting in and out but curling my fingers repeatedly inside her, rubbing against her inner walls experimentally until her legs started to shake.
And then I was merciless, curling them faster and faster against that spot as I lapped at her clit like a man starved. Aspen’s whimpers grew in volume until she was screaming for me, hands buried in my hair and tugging the strands.
“Yes, little phoenix,” I growled against her. “Get there.”
With a final crook of my fingers and the sealing of my lips around her clit, sucking it deeper into my mouth, my girl fucking shattered .
My timing perfect, I withdrew my hand and replaced my mouth with my fingers on her clit, rubbing quickly as she soaked my face. Her entire body shook with the force of her climax as I wrung her out, the wave continuing to roll through her, her spasming endless and beautiful.
I stilled only when her fingernails drew blood on my arm.
“I—” she gasped, unable to finish the thought from lack of oxygen.
I grinned as I rose up and leaned over her to my nightstand where I kept my condoms, withdrawing an entire line of squares and tossing them next to her.
“I don’t think I can,” Aspen said softly, almost embarrassed.
“You can, sweetheart,” I told her, bending to pepper her face with kisses before settling on her mouth. In deference to how hard I’d made her come, I was gentle, a slow, sensual slide of my lips against hers, tongues lazily tangling. It did nothing to let her catch her breath, but she was grinning dreamily at me when I pulled away.
“Okay,” she said, wrapping her legs around my hips and urging me closer so the tip of my cock brushed against her. “But no condoms.”
I blinked in surprise. “Are you sure? ”
“I don’t want anything between us, Crew. I’m on birth control, and I haven’t been with anyone in a long time. I trust you, and I want to feel you.”
This woman was truly going to be my undoing, and I didn’t even care. I was running headlong into the mayhem, knowing I’d come out an entirely different man on the other side.
Reaching between us, I gripped my dick and ran it through her lips, coating it in her cum and spreading it down the length. “For what it’s worth,” I told her as I notched my head at her entrance, “I also haven’t been with anyone in a long time, and I had a physical at work a few months ago. Everything came back clear.”
Aspen hooked her ankles together at the base of my spin, and my tip slid inside. The pressure against my crown was fucking unreal, and I dropped my head to her shoulder, moaning as she said, “Then I’m yours, hotshot.”
I thrust home on a single long pulse, and I swear to god, stars exploded across my vision.
Something irrevocably changed within me in that moment, like the entire foundation on which I’d built myself cracked and shifted into something different. I stilled, momentarily unable to move. She took me perfectly, but the connection was more than that. I’d never been this close to someone in my life. By welcoming me inside her body, Aspen had cracked the door between our souls, allowing them to merge into something else entirely.
For the first time in my life, I felt…whole.
Aspen clung to me, her fingertips dancing paths up and down the expanse of my back, and she lifted her head to flick my nipple ring with her tongue.
“I know,” she whispered when I pulled back to look down at her, seeing everything I felt reflected in her cinnamon stare. “ I know .”
The first few pumps of my hips in and out were slow, careful. Taking the time to watch the spot where I disappeared into her body. I’d been right to assume she’d fit me like a glove. Tighter, in fact. The squeeze of her pussy around me bordered on pain. But I’d be damned if it wasn’t the most exquisite torture.
“Nothing has ever felt better than you,” I murmured. “Fuck, you fit me so perfectly. We were fucking made for each other.”
“Crew,” she whispered after a few more gentle strokes.
“You okay?”
“Better than,” she grinned. “But I need you to do something.”
I stilled. “Yeah?”
“Fuck me. I’m not going to break, hotshot. I can take it.”
“You want hard and fast, little phoenix?”
“I want whatever you like.”
I chuckled. What a loaded statement.
“We’ll work our way up to that,” I promised, pressing a hard, claiming kiss to her mouth.
With her permission, I unleashed, my hips setting a relentless pace as I pounded into her. The bed creaked beneath us with every advance and retreat, and Aspen’s moans turned from breathy to full-throated screams as I branded that spot deep inside her recklessly. Holding myself upright with one palm on the bed next to her head, I gripped her hip with the other, holding her down as I pistoned in and out. Her nails dug into my shoulders, scraping down my back, hanging on for dear life as I drove us right to the edge of that cliff…
And sent us careening right off. Aspen’s arms and legs fell away as she spasmed beneath me, her entire body quaking as she thrashed against her climax.
Goddamn, she was a sight to behold, her hair a dark corona around her head against my pale blue sheets, her eyes squeezed shut, mouth parted in ecstasy as she chanted my name over and over.
I followed her right down, my back bowing, limbs going rigid, her name breathlessly falling from my lips as I spilled hot and long inside her.
When we stilled, I brushed her hair off her face to check on her, greeted with a fully sated smile that had my own lips spreading into a grin. Then I pulled free, shifted from between her thighs, and landed on my back. I gathered her to my side, rubbing soothing circles across her back as she ran her fingers through the smattering of chest hair between my pecs, her breaths fanning over my skin, our legs tangled. Even an inch of space was too far away from her now.
The silence between us stretched, but not uncomfortably. Simply being with Aspen, basking in the afterglow of our joining was the easiest thing I’d ever done.
This thing between us was quickly becoming everything to me.
“I think you just altered my brain chemistry,” I said when I had enough breath to do so.
Aspen propped her chin on my chest to look up at me, delight twinkling in her eyes. “Crew…you made me squirt .”
She hissed the last word like something dirty, and I barked out a laugh, hauling her over me so I could reach her lips for a kiss.
Scars and all, we belonged together. I’d known it for a while now, but the way our bodies fit together so perfectly only further confirmed it.
“Has it ever been like that for you?” she asked.
I tucked her hair behind her ears, wanting to fully see her beautiful face.
“Never,” I promised. “There’s something here, isn’t there?”
Without missing a beat, Aspen nodded.
“I don’t know what it is, and it terrifies the shit out of me, but…yeah.”
Rolling so I once again hovered over her, I said, “You’re not the only one who’s scared, Aspen. But we’re in this together. I’m not going anywhere. ”
“I don’t know what happens after this,” she admitted, and I knew she didn’t mean our fucking mind-blowing sex, but the case that had brought her to town in the first place.
“We don’t have to have it all figured out right now. Can we agree to take things one day at a time?”
She nodded, and the anxiety that coiled in my chest every time I thought of her leaving dissipated.
I pressed another gentle kiss to her lips, then her nose, before sinking back on my haunches and hauling her into my arms and climbing off the bed.
“Where are we going?” she asked, though she sank deeper into my hold, slinging her arms around my neck and resting her head against my chest.
“To get cleaned up. Bath or shower?”
“Bath,” she said quickly. “My legs are fucking jelly.”
I grinned. “Damn straight, baby. And there’s more where that came from.”
Aspen gave me an eye roll, but it did nothing to dampen her answering smile.
There was no way I’d ever be satisfied where Aspen McKay was concerned. My sexual appetite had always been voracious, but everything was different now.
I was falling in love with her, and that changed everything.
