Skulduggery 8: Building a Criminal Empire

by Logan Jacobs

  Penny had fallen asleep in her own room almost before she even took off her dress, so I’d tried to do the same thing until I discovered that I really wasn’t as tired as I should be. I had already gone over every detail of our meeting with the elven lord the next day, and I had planned for every eventuality, so I felt as prepared as I could.

  But when I rolled over again in bed, I still couldn’t get comfortable enough to fall asleep. I wanted to be up and doing something, but we all needed to rest, and besides, there wasn’t much that I could do in the middle of the night, anyway. Everything was in place, and everything was going according to plan, so I just had to be patient.

  The door to my room suddenly swung open, and someone entered the room with quiet footsteps. I reached under my pillow for my knife, tightened my grip around the handle, and then flipped over in bed to see who was there.

  I laughed and dropped the knife when I saw that it was only Penny.

  She was dressed in a pale nightgown that was just sheer enough for me to see her nipples pressed up against it, and I thought that if the light was better, I might even be able to see the narrow strip of red hair that led down to her tight entrance.

  “I thought I heard you tossing and turning in here,” the redheaded pixie sighed from the doorway, and then she shivered and folded her arms over her chest. “Can’t sleep?”

  “Not really,” I said as I sat up in bed. “You can’t sleep, either?”

  “Well, I fell asleep fast, but then I woke up and can’t really get relaxed again,” Penny said and then came over to sit down on the sheets beside me. “I just keep thinking about all of our plans and how impatient I am to do everything.”

  “I know what you mean,” I said. “Are you thinking about any of our plans in particular, or just everything?”

  “Mostly everything,” the pixie thief replied as she scooted closer to me on the bed. “What about you?”

  “Same here, but also…” I trailed off when I realized that wasn’t all I had been thinking about.

  “But also what?” Penny asked. “You know you can talk to me.”

  “I was also thinking about Ava,” I said finally, “and about our child. I’ve just been thinking about the kind of world that I want my children to grow up in, you know?”

  “You mean the kind of world where the elves don’t fucking run everything?” the green-eyed thief asked.

  “Yeah,” I said. “The kind of world where they can be free to do anything they want. Where they don’t have to constantly look over their shoulders and worry about the elves killing them just because they looked at them wrong, you know?”

  “I know what you mean,” Penny said. “You want them to grow up in a world where they can just be… free.”

  “Exactly,” I said. “And I know that we’re working toward that, but I just-- I don’t know. It just seems more important now than ever before.”

  “Of course, it does,” the redhead replied. “You and Ava are going to have a baby, and that makes everything more important and more urgent.”

  “Well, I guess you’re right about that,” I laughed. “Did anybody ever tell you how wise you are, Penny?”

  “Oh, once or twice,” the pixie thief said with a grin, “but you’re welcome to tell me again.”

  “I’ll keep that in mind.” I smirked.

  “You know, I’ve actually been thinking about kids a lot lately, too,” Penny said.

  “Oh, really?” I raised an eyebrow. “And what exactly have you been thinking about them?”

  “Well, I never really thought about it before,” the redheaded pixie began. “Uhh… well… I never really thought about children before. About having kids, you know.”

  “Never?” I asked.

  “No, never,” Penny said. “Or at least, I never thought about having a family of my own after… after the elves killed my father.”

  “I know you had to watch them execute him,” I said and laid a hand on her arm. “I’m really sorry, Penny.”

  “It’s okay,” she said and then took a deep breath. “It’s just that after they killed him, I thought that I would never be able to love someone again. I was totally on my own, and it made me just… well, it just made me terrified of loving someone and losing them again.”

  “And now?” I asked.

  “Well, that was all before I met you,” the pixie thief sighed. “And then when you came along and I realized how much I wanted you, I just…”

  “Just what?” I smiled and tucked her bright red hair back behind her ears.

  “I just figured that maybe it’s worth it,” Penny said. “You know, maybe it’s worth it to love, even if it’s terrifying and scary and you don’t know what’s gonna happen.”

  “I happen to agree with you,” I said, “but what’s that got to do with thinking about kids?”

  “Well, ever since Ava said that she was pregnant, I…” Penny hesitated. “I guess I’ve just been thinking about it a lot, and I… ugh, I hate this mushy shit, you know.”

  “I won’t tell anybody, I promise,” I said with a smile. “Just tell me what you want to say.”

  “I just never thought about kids before because I never thought that I would ever find or be with someone like you!” Penny blurted out. “And I never wanted to have a child before because I was so afraid that something would happen to me, like how something happened to my dad, and then my child would have to grow up all alone. Fuck, are you happy now?”

  “Very happy,” I snickered.

  “But now that I’m with you, and now that Ava’s pregnant, I just can’t help but think…” Penny bit her lip and looked up at me. “We’re just so close to changing the world, you know?”

  “Yeah, I know,” I said.

  “And whenever I think about the world we’re trying to make,” the redhead murmured, “and whenever I think about how close we are to making that happen, I just can’t help but think about how much I want to have a child with you, too.”

  “Really?” I grinned. “So tell me again about how you just happened to wake up and heard me tossing and turning in here? Are you sure you didn’t come to my room with anything else in mind?”

  “Well, I did hear you moving around in here, but I was also kind of hoping that you were awake,” the red-haired pixie said with a smile. “I also kind of haven’t taken my usual herbs the last few days. For birth control, I mean.”

  “So you’re saying,” I began as I started to run my fingers up her bare arm, “that if we were to have sex right now, we could maybe--”

  “Make a baby?” Penny breathed. “Yeah. That’s what I’m saying.”

  “Are you sure?” I asked as I bent down to kiss her shoulder.

  “You mean, am I sure that I want to have your child?” the pixie demanded. “Fuck, yes. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more sure of anything.”

  “Then we can certainly make that happen,” I whispered as I moved my lips and started to kiss along the side of her neck. “And we can definitely give it a try right now. We just might have to be a little bit quieter, so we don’t wake up everybody else.”

  “Then you’re probably gonna have to put your hand over my mouth,” Penny said as she tilted her head to the side, “because you know damn well I’m not one of those quiet types when I come. Especially when I know that my womb is ready for your seed.”

  “And what makes you think you’re gonna come?” I grinned. “Isn’t that kind of my job if we’re going to make a baby?”

  “Wade, my love,” Penny sighed and then took my head in between her hands, “you know goddamn well that you always make me come at least two times whenever we have sex.”

  “Well, that’s true,” I said with a smirk.

  “I don’t think you could make me come any less than twice even if you wanted to,” the pixie thief said. “I mean, I actually think you made me come once just by looking at me.”

  “Then I guess I’d better get started,” I laughed. “And that means you better strip ou
t of that pretty nightgown before I rip it in two.”

  Penny leaned back on the bed and pulled her thin gown off in one swift motion, but when she started to sit back up, I grabbed her by her bare waist and pulled her hips toward me. As her back fell against the soft bed underneath us, I leaned over and started to run my tongue over the swell of her full breasts.

  “Mmm,” the redhead moaned.

  “That’s not a very good start at being quiet,” I teased and then moved my lips down toward her nipples.

  “I can’t help it,” Penny groaned. “When you move your tongue like that, it feels like--”

  “You mean when I move it like this?” I flicked my tongue across her nipple and then moved it in quick little circles all around it.

  “Uh, yes,” the pixie thief replied. “You know exactly what you’re doing, so don’t even pretend that you don’t.”

  “But you’re so much fun to tease,” I laughed.

  Before she could say anything else, I took one of the beautiful redhead’s whole tits into my mouth. While I ran my lips gently over her soft skin and slowly started to nibble and pull at it with my teeth, I massaged her other breast with my hand, until the pixie thief groaned and sank back even deeper into the pillows on the bed.

  As I continued to suck and play with her tits, I slipped one hand down toward her waiting entrance to see how wet she was for me. My fingers trailed over the soft plume of red hair right above her clit, and when they found her lips, I immediately felt how ready she was.

  Her entrance was already slick, so I started to rub along the sides of her lips, and then slowly, I ran one finger just along the opening to her tight tunnel. After I teased her for a few minutes, I started to run two fingers over her narrow opening, and as I continued to massage her soft breasts at the same time, Penny’s body began to writhe underneath me.

  I shifted my position on top of her, so my fingers could still play along the outside of her pussy, but I raised my head so I could kiss up the side of her neck. When I started to kiss her full red lips, the green-eyed pixie moaned and writhed a little more against the bed.

  I pressed my fingers a little harder against her entrance, but I still didn’t slip them inside her just yet. Instead, I just pulled apart her lips with my teeth and started to kiss her more deeply. My tongue ran along her lips, and as she opened her mouth against mine, our tongues met, and I felt her reach down to grab my fingers just outside her narrow opening.

  Penny grasped my hand and pulled it so that my fingers would slip inside her, but I held back and then pulled away from our kiss.

  “And just what do you think you’re doing?” I demanded.

  “Oh, Wade, please,” the beautiful redhead murmured. “You’re driving me crazy, and I can’t take it.”

  “And here I thought the whole point was that you wanted to take it,” I said with a grin.

  “Please, I’m already so close,” Penny begged.

  I didn’t say anything, and instead, I finally slipped my fingers inside her waiting tunnel. I moved my fingers in slow circles against her velvety walls, while my thumb gently grazed back and forth across her clit. When I started to kiss her again, I could feel her whole body start to clench and release in one little wave after another, and I knew that she would come for me in about three… two…

  “Fu--” Penny screamed.

  I clapped my hand down over her mouth and grinned, as the redheaded pixie’s body trembled underneath me. Her whole body shook like a leaf as the orgasm swept over her, and when she finally relaxed back against the pillows, I had neat little teeth marks against the palm of my hand from where I had to stifle her scream.

  “That was fast,” I said with a smile.

  “Like I said,” the redhead panted, “you’re really-- very-- fucking-- good.”

  I gave her one more quick kiss and then pulled my fingers out of her dripping tunnel. I could feel my hard cock pressed up against the inside of my pants, but as much as I wanted to plunge my full length inside the green-eyed pixie, I wanted her to come for me again first, so she would be completely relaxed before I filled her with my seed.

  I raised my wet fingers to her lips, and the redhead sucked her own juices off of them before I moved down to position my face just above her slick tunnel. I flicked my tongue out just once to see how sensitive her clit still was, and when the pixie thief moaned, I knew that she was ready for me again.

  I slowly began to slide my tongue up and down her dripping entrance, and then when Penny gripped the sheets, I finally thrust my tongue inside her. I massaged my tongue all along the inside of her smooth tunnel, while I bobbed my head up and down, so my lips would rub against her clit at the same time.

  She tasted so sweet that I didn’t want to ever pull away, but I could already feel all her muscles as they clenched and released against me, so I knew that another orgasm wasn’t too far off. When Penny started to grind her pelvis against my lips, I slid my arms underneath her thighs, propped her legs up on my shoulders, and thrust my tongue even deeper inside her.

  “Oh, shit,” the redhead moaned.

  “You better not make a sound, remember?” I raised my head to smile up at her. “Stifle yourself with the pillow if you have to.”

  “Whatever you say, Wade,” Penny murmured and then stretched out her arm to grab a pillow.

  “Oh, whatever I say?” I asked.

  The green-eyed pixie nodded and bit her lip.

  “Then I say that you’re about to come for me again,” I said, and then I buried my face into her pussy again.

  Her thighs tightened on either side of my face, but it just helped me feel exactly how close she was to another orgasm. My tongue thrust in and out of her entrance, and even the walls of her tunnel contracted and relaxed against me as her body built toward another climax.

  Suddenly, Penny gasped and clamped the pillow down over her mouth. She screamed into it as her legs gripped the sides of my skull like a vise, but I just pulled her hips a little closer and kept massaging my tongue exactly where it was, so I could make her orgasm last for as long as possible.

  When the red-haired pixie finally collapsed her legs back against the sheets, I pushed myself up on my elbows and looked up at her. Her face was still covered with the pillow, but she had flopped her arms to the sides, so the pillow gently rose and fell with each breath.

  I reached up and threw the pillow to the side.

  “I can’t decide what’s sexier,” I said with a grin. “When you get to scream as you come, or when you have to stay quiet.”

  “I’m sure that’s exactly the kind of question that keeps you up at night,” Penny laughed. “But I know what you mean. I don’t think I can pick which one I like better. When I have to be quiet, it’s like… I don’t know, but I think my climax almost feels more powerful.”

  “And when you don’t have to be quiet?” I asked as I started to run my tongue up her taut stomach.

  “Then it just feels like I’m totally free,” the beautiful redhead sighed.

  “Well, either way, making you climax is my favorite thing,” I said and raised my head just before my mouth reached her breasts again.

  “Then let me return the favor,” Penny said as she reached down to feel my hard cock through my pants.

  “Maybe I need a little warm-up first,” I said and then moved my hands to press her tits together. “Know anyone who might be interested?”

  “Only if you can get those pants off first,” the pixie thief said.

  As soon as I took off my pants and shirt, Penny pulled me toward herself until my cock rested against the soft skin between her breasts. Then as she pressed her cleavage together, and she flicked her tongue out to graze the tip of my shaft.

  “Oh, fuck,” I groaned.

  Penny pressed her tits together even more, so I started to slide my cock back and forth between her full breasts. Every time I slid forward, she teased me with her tongue, and every time I slid my cock backward, she pushed her cleavage around me e
ven more, so it almost felt like I was fucking her pussy and her mouth at the same time.

  “You feel fucking amazing,” I said as I leaned forward to grasp the headboard, so I could slide my cock even further up between her tits and into her mouth.

  Penny just smiled, looked up at me with her clear green eyes, and then started to pull me further up toward her mouth.

  “Then let me show you just how fucking amazing I can feel,” she said as she laid her head back down on the pillow. “I want your cock in my mouth-- all of it, not just the tip.”

  She didn’t need to say it twice.

  As she let her breasts fall back to the side, I moved further up the bed until my knees were on either side of her head and my cock was pressed up against her lips. At first, she just flicked my tip quickly with her tongue, but then she opened her lips, ran her tongue all around the head of my shaft, and then took my full length into her mouth.

  When my cock hit the back of her throat, Penny made a soft gagging noise, but then she just started to bob up and down, while her tongue massaged all up and down the sides of my shaft. The redhead’s throat felt so good that I gripped the headboard a little more tightly, and once my grip was secure, I started to slide my length in and out of her mouth to help her.

  Her mouth felt even better around my cock than her tits had, and as I plunged in and out of her, Penny groaned and kept making little noises every time my tip hit the back of her throat. It was like she couldn’t get enough of me, so every time I pulled back, she just grabbed my pelvis and jerked me forward, and then my cock rammed into the back of her throat again.

  “Fuck, that feels amazing,” I murmured.

  Penny started to suck on my cock faster now, and I knew that if I wanted to, I could have filled her mouth up to the brim with my cum, and she would have swallowed it all and then just licked her lips. But as much as I wanted to come inside the beautiful redhead’s mouth, I wanted even more to fill her womb up with my seed.

  I slowly pulled back out of her mouth and moved down the bed again, until my cock rested against the soft lips of her entrance.
