Chapter Ten
Blade
I’m not sure how I’ve managed to make Piper fall in love with me for a second time. Especially, when I’ve burdened her with so much bullshit in one night. I shouldn’t have told her about any of this. I had a plan when I came here tonight. Piper was never supposed to know it was me under the mask. I came here with the intention of reminding her that I was the best she’d ever have even if she didn’t know it was me. I need her to crave me constantly, and I was content with her begging for her stalker to come back after I’d left.
Part of me needed to crawl back into her life like I’m a fucking parasite that she’ll never be rid of. Because I am. I’m the worst thing that could ever happen to her, and I’ve done it twice now. I need her like a breath of air when I’m fucking drowning. Maybe we’re both parasites. Piper will be my undoing the same way I’ll be hers.
I breathe deeply, pushing my thoughts away as I tighten my grip around her stomach. The water is lukewarm at this point, but Piper looks too pretty for me to bother her right now. The bubbles from the soap are slowly starting to pop, revealing her perky tits. It’s when my dick starts getting hard again, that I finally kiss her awake.
I place slow kisses along her shoulder, lulling her out of her sleepy state. She grumbles something under her breath before shuffling further back into me and my cock by default. I hiss, holding her still against me. I drop my head back against the wall and hold my breath. I try to think of anything to get my dick to soften but Piper is still wiggling.
“Stay fucking still, baby,” I groan, gnawing on my lip. Instead of listening to my pleas, in usual Piper fashion, she lifts her hips up and slips back until she’s seated perfectly on my cock. With the utmost respect, Piper is a fucking whore. But she’s my fucking whore. My perfect little fucktoy with her perfect little pussy. Her whines cause me to shiver, and she clenches around me before lifting her hips slowly. As she quickens her pace, my cock twitches inside of Piper. My panting and Piper’s moans bounce off the walls. I reach around to grip Piper’s tits, causing her head to fall back in a moan. She looks absolutely stunning like this. Her hands are gripping my arms as her hips start to stutter, and I pinch her hardened nipples lightly. Piper rides me faster, water splashing over the edge of the tub. When she reaches under the water to play with her clit, I fucking whimper. Piper freezes, clenching and shaking, as she comes on my cock. I’m almost positive my cheeks are flushed because my face is on fucking fire.
“Sorry, I-”
“Don’t,” Piper shakes her head. I grimace when embarrassment washes over me. I just fucking whimpered .
“I shouldn’t have done that,” I say lowly with a groan. Piper whips her head around so fast that her hair smacks me in the face.
“You better do that every single time we fuck from now until forever. Jesus, Blade, that was so fucking hot, baby,” Piper tells me with wide eyes. Her tone is firm, and now I am most definitely blushing.
“Lying isn’t your strong suit,” I tell Piper, trying to lift her off me. I think I’m too embarrassed to come now. Piper swats my hands off her before speaking up.
“I’m pretty sure I could come from that alone, Blade. I’m being dead fucking serious right now. If that was a turn off for me, I wouldn’t have come,” Piper tells me. Her gaze is soft as she reassures me. I don’t get the chance to answer before she’s rolling her hips again.
“Come inside me. Please, baby. Let me hear you,” Piper begs me seductively. I sigh, breathing deeply, as I try not to finish immediately .
“Fuck, Piper, don’t talk like that. I won’t last,” I tell her desperately, grunting between words. Piper shakes her head again.
“Don’t want you to last. Just want you to come for me,” Piper says. I’m a goner when she lets out a breathy squeal. Something between a groan and another whimper escapes my lips when Piper settles as far down on my cock as she can. She pulls one of my hands down to press against her lower stomach, and I come deep inside of Piper as soon as she pushes my hand against her skin.
I wish I could see the way my cock is making her stomach bulge. Next time, I’ll fuck her like this in front of a mirror. I puff my chest, inhaling deeply as I hold Piper down. If she wants me to fill her up, I should at least indulge in keeping my cum inside of her for a few extra minutes. Not that either of us want kids, but I guess we’ll keep fucking around until we find out.
Piper uses my knees to brace herself with her wet hands as she tries to lift herself off my dick. My grip tightens on her hips, and I’m almost positive she’ll be bruised. The idea of seeing her marked up by me sends me into overdrive.
“Don’t even fucking think about it. Stay put. Just let me feel you, Piper. Missed this fucking pussy. My fucking pussy. Ain’t that right, baby,” I ramble, running my hand down her back slowly. A wet trail follows in the wake of my middle finger. A smirk spreads across my face when Piper shivers, nodding slightly.
“You can do better than that, Piper. Tell me who you belong to,” I tell her firmly.
“You, Blade. I’m all yours,” she whispers breathily. I lean forward, knocking my chest against Piper’s back. I grip her wet hair into my hand, wrapping her locks around my hand. I yank her head back and slip my free hand up to her jaw, turning her head slightly to face me.
“Damn fucking right, baby. Don’t forget it again,” I hiss into her ear as I bite her jawline gently. Piper nods dumbly. Sweet dumb thing. I release her hair and lift her hips up. I help Piper stand up, swatting her ass quickly. She yelps, and I grin. My smile widens when she pouts at me.
“I’m sorry, baby. Let me apologize,” I tease her, kneeling back down in the tub. I twist Piper’s hips until her ass is directly in front of my face. Piper stares down at me with her mouth open in a quiet gasp while I stare up at her. I press slow kisses over her reddened cheek. Piper’s hand tangles into my damp hair, and she tugs on it at the same time I sink my teeth into her ass.
“Fuck, Blade,” she pants, a hint of pain in her voice. I could’ve found a sliver of guilt somewhere inside of my soul if Piper’s eyes hadn’t rolled to the back of her head in pleasure. There will never be a time where Piper’s pleasure doesn’t result in my own. I dart my tongue out to soothe the angry redness on her skin. I hum in satisfaction when I see the mark I’ve left on her. A perfect outline of my teeth sullies the purity of Piper’s skin the same way I have always ruined her.
Piper will always be mine to destroy, and if she decides to ruin me in retaliation, I’ll pray to the Universe that she does it slowly just so I can have her longer. Piper is a force to be reckoned with when she wants to be, and I’d chase her storm every day for the rest of my life as long as I got a drop of her rain in return.
I slide up Piper’s body, pulling her flush against me as I kiss her deeply. Her swollen lips move smoothly against mine the same way they always have. My fingers curl around the soft skin of her body, and I lift her up into my arms easily. My hands settle on the back of her thighs while she clings to me. Piper drops her head on my shoulder as I step out of the tub with her. I grab a towel from the shelf as I step out of the bathroom with Piper tucked firmly against me.
We fall into a comfortable silence as I dry Piper off. There’s a small smirk forming on her face when I kneel in front of her to dry her legs off. I shake my head, turning her down.
“No more, baby. Not tonight,” I mumble, being extra careful when I dry off her sensitive cunt. Piper lets out a small sigh, spreading her legs just enough for me to tend to her. If she wasn’t so sensitive, I would bury my face between her legs for the rest of the night .
When I’m done, I toss the towel into the hamper in the corner of the room, hoping it made it in the dim lighting. Piper climbs up the bed, flopping onto her stomach with her arms tucked under her cheek. I laugh lightly before sliding up beside her.
She looks beautiful all the time, but Piper looks especially gorgeous when she’s been fucked by me. I’m the one who takes care of her, and I’ll continue to do it until the day I die. Piper’s hazel eyes flutter closed, and I brush her damp hair out of her face. She leans into my touch, causing my heart to sink. There’s never been a time in my life where I wanted to leave Piper less.
“Goodnight, Blade,” Piper hums quietly. Her voice is merely a whisper, like she’s trying not to disturb the darkness that surrounds us. I smile at her even though she can’t see it.
“Goodnight, Piper,” I whisper quietly as I watch her chest rise and fall slowly. As Piper curls further into me, I realize just how difficult things are about to get for us. If I haven’t completely sabotaged Piper’s soul already, then I’m about to. I’ll damn her to hell for my own selfishness because at least we’ll be burning together.
It’s an hour later when I finally slip out from beside Piper. I sit up, place my feet on the floor, and bury my head into my hands. In my peripheral, I catch a glint of metal on her nightstand, and I’m reminded of the picture I’d pulled off her wall earlier. Smiling, I pull it off the nightstand. Glancing back at Piper, I stand up, slip my sweats back on, and leave the dark bedroom with the picture frame clutched tightly in my hand. I pull the door behind me, leaving it cracked slightly. Just in case she needs me.
When I enter the kitchen, I flick the light on and sit down at the island. I can almost hear Piper’s laugh while looking at the picture again. Her smile is wide and infectious, and I want to bathe in her sunlight the way I’d bathe in her storm. Something, or rather, someone in the background catches my attention. I’ve memorized damn near every detail of this picture, considering how often I’ve looked at it, but this is something I’d never noticed before.
There’s a man in the background watching Piper. It had been so easy to ignore it before since she’s in the middle of the park surrounded by people. None of the faces in the background could ever matter when Piper shines so bright.
I lean in closer, squinting at the blurry man in the corner of the picture, and the color drains from my face as I finally realize why he looks so familiar. I’m almost positive I saw him the night I was shot. I stare at the picture for too long. My spine straightens when something rustles outside the door. A quick shadow flashes by the window, and I scowl.
Anger pulses under my skin as I stalk towards the door, leaving the picture abandoned on the countertop. I swing the door open, my jaw set in a scowl .
“Don’t even fucking think about it,” I growl as I step onto the porch, not bothering to turn the light on.
“Oh, come on, Blade. You aren’t the only one who gets to fuck with people,” he calls out from the shadows. The second I place the familiarity in his voice, I’m raging. My head snaps to the side, and before I can think it through, my hands are reaching out into the darkness to grip at his throat.
“Don’t you fucking dare, Owen,” I seethe, tightening my hands around the man’s neck. He grins in the moonlight, and it sends waves of rage through my fucking blood. I’ll kill him if he touches her.
“Nice to see you, too, baby bro.”
