Chapter 13
Royal
We went and got food and liquor. That’s about all the money I have left until tomorrow night. Win or lose, I make money fighting. Winning is always better, though, it brings in more money.
Now we sit on the roof of the abandoned warehouse, drinking. We take turns passing the bottle around as we just talk shit.
“You remember Kelly?”
“That ugly bitch?” I ask when Jeremy asks.
“Yeah, that one. Saw her the other night. She’s tweaked the fuck out now,” he says.
“Didn’t think it would be long until she got into the hard shit,” I add.
“What’s the hard shit?” River asks. I’ve avoided her. I’ve tried anyway. She’s like a fucking drug I want more of. Just her kiss was addicting, and that’s saying something. But I know I’m not good for her. Look at me. Look at my life.
“Drugs, rich girl. Coke, meth,” I tell her.
“Stop calling me that,” she snarls at me before taking a long pull from the bottle, before Jeremy takes it.
“Why? It’s what you are. Poor little rich girl.”
“I mean it, Royal. Stop.” Is she warning me? It sounds like a warning and one I’m not willing to take. I like it when she’s like this. Feisty. It shows a different side of her than the one I’ve imagined.
“What are you going to do about it, River? Huh?”
“Keep saying it and find out,” she snaps, keeping her glossy eyes glued to mine. I stare back at her and smirk.
“Rich girl.” That was all she needed to hear. We stand at the same time. River lunges for me, but I move out of the way. River yells like she’s being killed.
“Oh fuck!” Jeremy yells, jumping to his feet when I turn to see what’s happening. My heart hammers in my chest when I don’t see her.
Jeremy and I rush to the edge of the roof and look over, expecting to see her dead on the ground, but she’s not. She’s clinging to a pole just inches from the rooftop.
“Don’t move,” Jeremy tells her. I start to climb over the edge when Jeremy grabs me.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“Getting her. What the fuck do you think I’m doing?”
“You’re both going to fall!”
“I got this,” I tell him before sitting on the edge of the roof and grabbing the pole next to the one she’s on.
“Royal,” her voice squeaks.
“It’s okay. I’m coming,” I try to reassure her, but as I slide down the few inches of the pole, she cries.
“I don’t want to die,” she cries.
“You’re not. Just hold on,” I urge as I make my way closer to her. When I’m close enough, I reach over, above her hands, and grab the pole. Considering I’m a lot taller than she is, it’s not hard for me to wrap my body around hers. I wrap my legs around the pole, my face in her hair.
“Listen to me. Move your feet. Put them on my leg and climb.”
“I can’t! I can’t let go,” she cries.
“River, you have to. Do what I told you. Put your feet on my legs and push yourself up. Jeremy can reach you then.”
“What if I fall?”
“Then we both fall, River, and I’m not dying today either,” I tell her. She’s hesitant at first, but then she moves a little. Her foot comes to rest on my leg as she pushes herself up.
“Now reach above my hands with yours,” I tell her. My heart hasn’t stopped slamming against my ribs. This whole fucking thing is dangerous, and we probably would have been smart to call someone, but not with her here.
I look up and watch her do as she’s told until she’s close enough for Jeremy to grab her wrists.
He begins to pull her up as she screams. I scoot myself up the pole so she can keep pressure on my legs until he drags her over the side.
Then I finish the climb and pull myself over, dropping down onto the rooftop.
“Holy shit,” Jeremy mumbles as I catch my breath. River lays there on her side, crying to herself.
“You’re okay,” I tell her as I climb to my feet and move away from the edge. Jeremy helps her to her feet and tries to calm her, but it’s pointless. She’s trembling and sobbing out of control.
Her eyes come to meet mine, and everything else fades. What the fuck is this girl to me? A distraction I don’t need is what she is. One I can’t get away from. One that’s beginning to push back, and I’m not sure how to handle that.
She swallows hard before taking a step toward me, and I stand still, curious as to what she’s going to do.
Another step, and I narrow my eyes. Another step and she’s right in front of me. Without a single hint, she throws herself into my arms, her lips crashing with mine. She kisses me like it may be the last time she sees me.
“I’ll see you downstairs,” Jeremy says before leaving us alone. River doesn’t stop. She didn’t hear him leave, and at this point, I don’t think she would care that he did.
Her hands tangle in my hair as she presses her body as close to me as she can get. Then I feel her hands moving, tugging at my shirt. We break apart just long enough for her to pull my shirt over my head and hers over her head. They both hit the rooftop before she’s back on me.
I move my lips down her neck, sucking the flesh into my mouth as she works on my jeans.
“I warned you,” I tell her as I keep kissing her skin.
“I don’t care,” she says before shoving my jeans down my legs. She’s quick to pull my boxers off and then moves to her jeans next. When she’s in nothing but a bra, she steps back and looks at me.
“You should care, River. This isn’t going to end well,” I tell her as I reach for my cock and stroke it in my hand. I watch her bite her lip as she watches me.
“Nothing ends well for me anyway,” she whispers before stepping closer. I use my free hand to grab her around the back of her neck and drag her face toward me.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” With that, I shove her down onto her knees.
I take my cock and rub the tip along her lips.
She isn’t sure what to do, and I assume she’s never done this before.
Now isn’t the time for teaching either. When she doesn’t open her mouth, I chuckle and get down on my knees.
“I’m going to make you bleed all over this rooftop, River. The gravel is going to mark your hands and knees. You’re not going to forget what I do to you here,” I tell her. She nods her head, lust dancing in her eyes.
“Get on your hands and knees,” I demand. She turns and does as she’s told, getting on her hands and knees for me. I groan when I see her pussy dripping for me. I grab my cock and toy with her a little while I use the other hand to grab a condom from my jeans.
I rip the packet with my teeth and pull back to roll it on before lining up and thrusting into her. Screams that no one can hear come from her mouth, and I love every single one of them.
“Scream, River. I love to hear you scream,” I tell her as I grip her hips and fuck her hard. I look down and watch my cock as it slides in and out of her. It’s almost like her pussy was made just to fit my cock.
Chills wrap around me as I keep going. I know the gravel is cutting into her because it’s digging into my knees, but something about knowing it’s causing her pain does something feral to me.
“Fuck, River. Such a good girl,” I tell her as I work myself deeper. She cries out as I hit her insides, her fingers clawing at the gravel.
“Royal!”
“What? What do you want?” I ask her as I keep moving in and out. I’ve slowed my pace now, not letting her have what she wants because I know what that is. She wants to come, and I’m not ready for that yet.
“Please.”
“Please, what?”
“I … I don’t know!” She screams out of frustration when it hits me. I stop completely. I don’t fucking move, and at this point, I don’t know if I’m breathing either.
“You … fuck, River!” I roar as I pull out of her. She whines as I sit back on my haunches. River looks over her shoulder at me with tears in her eyes. I glance down at the blood on the condom, and I’m unsure how to feel.
“Why’d you stop?”
“You didn’t tell me.”
“Tell you what?”
“Don’t play fucking games, River!”
“I didn’t think my being a virgin was something I needed to announce to the world, Royal.”
“Not the world but to the man about to fuck you, that would have been good to know.”
“Why? You don’t want to fuck me now?” she snaps at me. I almost say no, but then the anger in me takes over. I shove myself back up, grab her hips, and slam into her. Her cries pierce the night.
“I’m not stopping until I fucking come, River,” I growl at her while I fuck her hard. I make it hurt. I make it rough, and I make her enjoy every sick fucking second of it. I keep pounding into her until her whole body trembles, and she comes, then I make her take more.
“Royal,” she begs, needing me to finish.
“You kept that from me, now deal with it,” I tell her as I keep going.
Her arms can barely hold her body up, and then they finally give out.
Her upper half falls forward, shoving her ass up in the air.
I tighten the grip on her hips and really start taking her hard.
Her body bounces off mine in nothing short of perfection.
“It hurts,” she cries out as I keep going.
“Good.” I know the gravel is probably cutting up her chest right now, and I don’t care. She didn’t tell me, and now she can deal with what I have to offer.
A few more thrusts and I can’t hold myself back any longer. I let go, I fucking release and growl as I do.
My cock jerks inside her, but her little pussy keeps milking me. I groan as I finish before pulling out of her.
“Get up,” I demand. She stands to her feet, grabbing her clothes as I take the condom off, tossing it to the side. “Stay naked,” I tell her as she tries to pull her clothes back on.
“What? No.”
“You fucked with me, River. You didn’t tell me, and now you’re going to listen to every fucking word I say to you. Leave the clothes off.” Her eyes sparkle under the moonlight, but she doesn’t make a move to put her clothes back on.
Instead, I pull my jeans on, grab the rest of my stuff, and lead her across the roof to the door.
