Control Us (Next Generation Book 1)

by J. M. Walker

  “Tell me what you want,” he demanded, his voice dark and deadly, dripping with the promise of seduction and power. With a finger, he hooked it into the crotch of my panties and ran his knuckle over my slick skin. “You’re wet. You’re fucking drenched, baby. You like this.”

  “I do.” My cheeks burned. There was no point denying it when he could feel how much I was enjoying this new side of him.

  Zach removed his finger from between my legs. “Last chance, Luna.”

  I pushed against his hand, rising on all fours. Looking at him over my shoulder, I licked my lips. “Do it. Whatever you want. Use me to make yourself feel better.”

  A wicked grin spread on his face.

  He hooked his fingers into my panties, pulling them down and below my ass. “I’m going to use your body to make us both feel good. Turn around and take off your panties.”

  I did as I was told and took off my bra as well. I knelt there. Naked before him. Completely bare. Utterly vulnerable. And just waited.

  (Zach)

  She was absolutely breathtaking. It took everything I was made of to rein in on the control that was seeping from my very fingertips.

  Luna stared up at me through her dark lashes. A rosy hue hit her milky skin. Her dark nipples hardened the longer I stared. She had told me a few days ago that she wasn’t like the previous women I had been with. She was right about that. She was better. So much better.

  “Get on the bed,” I bit out, my voice gruff.

  She did as she was told, spreading out before me on the mattress.

  I rose on shaky legs, paced back and forth, and just stared at her. How could this woman, someone so damn innocent and precious, want me? After everything I had been through, even though it was never my fault, I still used women to get what I wanted. And Luna was offering herself up to me like I was being served a meal on a platter.

  “Zach.” She leaned on her elbows, staring at me. “Is everything okay?”

  “Why do you want me?” I blurted, stopping directly in front of her. My hands reached out, wrapping around her ankles.

  “I think you already know why,” she said breathlessly. Her knees separated, falling to the sides and showing me her perfect, pure, little pussy. But no, it was no longer pure. Not since I took her virginity. Not since I wanted to destroy her innocence and make her crave the dark, dirty part of sex as much as I did. I wanted to fucking ruin her.

  I gripped her ankles, pulling her to the edge of the bed. Lowering to the floor, I ran my hands up her calves to her knees, and spread them in a rough move.

  Her breath caught, her dark eyes watching me.

  “I still can’t believe you gave your sweet cherry to me.” I hooked my arms around her waist, pulling her toward my face and taking a deep inhale. The scent of her desire wafted into my nose, forcing pre-cum from the tip of my dick. “It makes me so motherfucking hard knowing that I’m the only one who’s been inside you. That I’m the only one who’s made you come.” I pulled off my shirt and threw it to the floor beside me. “That I’m the only one who knows what you look like when you truly let yourself go.”

  I unbuckled my belt and reached a hand into my pants. When my palm connected with my throbbing cock, a groan escaped me.

  “Zach,” Luna breathed, watching me.

  Pulling my pants lower, I kicked them off and went back to stroking my dick. “Move to the edge of the bed, Luna.”

  She moved her ass closer, the scent of her becoming more pronounced the longer time went on.

  “Fuck, your smell is driving me insane,” I said, my voice raspy. My hand tugged on my cock, pinched the tip, and went back to the base.

  Up. Down. Squeeze. Repeat.

  My balls ached. My dick swelled. I was torturing myself by not fucking her, but I needed this. To give her some control. For the first time in my life, I needed to submit.

  “Tell me what you want, Luna,” I said through clenched teeth.

  “Whatever you want,” she whispered.

  “No,” I barked, my dick swelling even more at her willingness to give me whatever I wanted. “What do you want?”

  “I’m not sure,” she said, sitting up.

  “Luna,” I growled, resting my forehead on her knee. “Tell me.”

  “I don’t know, Zach. You’ve never asked me before.” Her fingers traced over my nape.

  “Please,” I said, my voice desperate.

  “I want everything,” she finally said. “You inside me. To touch me. Fuck me. L-lick me.”

  I shivered.

  “But I want to give you what you want more.” She gently tugged my head back. “I like giving you what you want. I like when you take control. I want you to make good on your promise and ruin me. Make me hurt. Make me beg. Make me plead for more.”

  “Fuck.” I shoved to my feet, forced her onto her back, and slammed my mouth down hard on hers. I swallowed her gasp of surprise and shoved my tongue deep between her lips.

  Her hands roamed down my back, cupped my ass, and pulled me farther between her legs. She reached between us, wrapping her fingers around me and guiding me to where both of us wanted my cock most.

  Without even hesitating, I thrust forward.

  She arched beneath me, taking me even deeper.

  Her hot pussy squeezed me, sucking me in. She took everything I had to give her and more.

  (Luna)

  “Are you good?” I asked Zach later that night. I was lying on my stomach, naked, and kicking my feet back and forth behind me.

  “I am.” But he wouldn’t meet my gaze.

  I slid off the bed and crawled back beneath the covers and straddled his waist.

  “Luna.” His hands gripped my hips, stopping me from taking it any further.

  “What? You’re still on edge.” I leaned over, placing a soft peck on his mouth. “Let me help you feel better.” As soon as the words left my mouth, his cock grew beneath me. I wasn’t sure how I was good to go again. Or even him for that matter. I was sore. Used up. But I also felt so damn good at the same time, that I wanted more. I was an addict. A druggie needing their fix.

  “You want more,” Zach murmured against my mouth, cupping the back of my nape.

  “Yes.” I rocked against him, sliding my body up and down the rigid length sporting between his thighs. Even though he wasn’t inside me, the pleasure from my clit running along the veins of his cock, sparked a need I had never felt before.

  “You’re a greedy little thing.” He licked along my bottom lip, giving it a gentle nip.

  I whimpered, moving my hips faster and faster.

  “Fuck.” His eyes rolled into the back of his head. “So fucking good.”

  “God.” I threw my head back, a hard moan leaving the back of my throat.

  Zach suddenly sat up, wrapping an arm around my waist. He reached between us, circling his fingers around his cock.

  I covered his hand, helping him ride out that delicious high. That ultimate pleasure that neither of us could deny. No matter what came of this, this was what I would always want. Him. Me. Moving. Breathing. Just being together.

  “Luna,” my name left his lips on a breathless whisper.

  Rising to my knees, I slid my body down his length.

  “Fuck.” He kissed my chin, his mouth brushing down the length of my jaw to my ear. “I’m in love with you, Luna. I’m so fucking in love with you.”

  My heart jumped, my body burning as his confession slid over me. “God, Zach.” I cupped his face, crushing my mouth to his. “I’m in love with you too.”

  “I know,” he said against my lips.

  I grinned, pushed him back onto the bed, and started moving my hips up and down.

  “That’s it, Luna. Take from me what you want. What you’ve always wanted.”

  “Zach,” I cried out.

  In a quick move, he flipped me over, so I was lying beneath him. “Say it again.”

  “I love you,” I said, staring
up at him as he took us both past the brink of madness.

  Zach

  MY PHONE RANG SOMETIME during the night. Or maybe it was morning already. I rolled over, my body stiff but relaxed. So damn relaxed.

  Reaching for my pants, I picked them up off the floor and fished out my cell. “Yeah,” I said, slumping back down onto the bed.

  “Zach.”

  My eyes widened. I sat up. “Mom? Is everything okay?”

  “Oh yes.” She sighed. “Everything’s fine. So damn fine. Your dad is coming home today. I just wanted to let you know that. He was giving the nurses a hard time, saying that he would get more rest if he was at home with me.”

  “Oh, thank God.” I moved to the edge of the bed, dropping my head in my hands. “I’m glad.”

  “You and me both. Are you home?”

  “No.” I glanced back at Luna’s sleeping form. “I didn’t want to go home or to the city, just in case something happened, so Luna and I rented a motel room.” And I spent the night making love to her. Love. I told her I was in love with her. A grin broke out on my face.

  “Oh okay.” Mom hesitated.

  “What is it?” I dropped my hand to my lap. “Mom?”

  “It’s nothing really. Or maybe it is. I don’t know anymore. But just…be careful. I love Luna. And I love her for you. But I worry. Stone is overbearing and with good reason. It has to do with what happened to her real mom. I just don’t want you to get hurt. That’s all.”

  “I…” I glanced back at Luna again. Her back rose and fell but she didn’t stir. Rising from the bed, I went into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. “I feel like you’re warning me about something.”

  “I don’t want to step in where I shouldn’t, but I feel like…Stone is a good guy. I love him like a brother. He’s family. But you are my son. And Luna is his daughter. Just like him, I will gut a bitch who hurts you.”

  “Somehow, I’m not surprised there,” I mumbled, leaning against the counter. “Are you telling me to step aside?” I didn’t want to. Hell, I told Luna how I felt last night. There was no way either of us could go back to the way things were after that.

  “No. God no. Just be prepared that if Stone butts his nose in, it could cause more problems. Luna might…she might have to make a choice.”

  “Fuck,” I muttered. “I mean…sorry.”

  “Don’t apologize for swearing, Zach. Not this time. Listen, I know you’ve been pushing people away whenever they get too close. You did it to me and your father as a boy.”

  I rubbed the back of my neck. “I’m sorry.”

  “Don’t be. Zach, I get it. I really do. When your father and I first got together, something happened that forced him to push me away as well. He needed time to heal and I could only do so much. But honestly, even though what he went through was fucking hell for him, I think it made us stronger in the end.”

  I didn’t know the full extent as to what had happened to him, but I knew it involved another woman. “Stone scares the fuck out of me,” I confessed.

  “Honestly, I’d be more worried about Creena.” Mom laughed lightly. “But I understand that. He wouldn’t be doing his job as a father if he didn’t scare you.”

  “True.”

  “The only thing you can do is let Luna in. Prove to her and her father, that you are worth it. That you are enough for her. But you also have to believe that yourself.”

  “You know me way too fucking well,” I mumbled.

  “I have to go and help your dad get ready so I can take him home but please take heed in what I said.”

  “I will. I’ll head to the city tonight so you two can have some time alone.”

  “I love you, Zach. I think you need to talk to Luna.”

  Great . “Love you too, Mama.”

  We said our goodbyes and as much as I didn’t want to admit it, my mother was right. Luna loved me. I knew she loved me. But she also loved her dad. I just wasn’t sure if our relationship was strong enough to withstand whatever came next.

  Deciding to take a shower, I stepped beneath the hot spray just as the door to the bathroom opened.

  “Zach?” Luna stepped into the room. “Is everything okay?”

  “Yeah. I just got off the phone with my mom. I didn’t want to disturb you, so I came in here. My dad’s going home today.”

  “Oh, that’s wonderful news.” Luna came into the shower, pressing her body up against me. “I’m happy that he’s doing better.”

  My dick lengthened when her chest pushed against my back. Turning around, I cupped her face. Moving my hand to the back of her head, I fisted her hair and crushed my mouth to hers.

  She gasped, arching against me. “Zach,” she whispered against my lips.

  I broke the kiss, leaning my forehead against hers. “Sorry. I just…” A thought came to me. “I have to head to the city tonight. I’m going to give my parents some time alone. Come with me.”

  “Really?” Luna asked, leaning back. “I don’t think I’ve ever been to your apartment.”

  “It’s a condo but that doesn’t matter.” I pushed my hips into her, pressing her up against the wall. “I want to take you out for dinner. I want to go dancing with you. I want you. All of you. With me.”

  “I would love that,” she breathed. “I would love all of that.”

  “Good.” As much as I knew we needed to talk about…everything, we didn’t. Instead, I used her body to please us both for the next hour. The shower turned cold before I was done with her.

  “God, Zach.” Luna shivered, her teeth chattering.

  I chuckled, wrapping a large terrycloth towel around her. “I got a little carried away.”

  “That’s fine.” She stared up at me with those big beautiful eyes of hers. “But I need to know, is everything okay? I know you said your dad’s fine, but I feel like something else is going on that you’re not telling me.”

  “No.” I kissed her softly on the mouth. “Everything’s fine.” I didn’t want to ruin this moment. So, I lied. Fucking hell, I lied to her.

  (Luna)

  As much as I wanted to press for more answers, I didn’t. But Zach closed up completely after that. Something was eating at him. Every so often that muscle in his jaw would tick. Or his hands would clench on the steering wheel.

  We left the motel shortly after our shower. We had said goodbye to Jaron and the guys, and they even asked Zach if everything was okay. I wanted to know what was going on but a part of me didn’t want to all at the same time.

  “Zach?” I said once we pulled onto my street. I needed to grab some clothes and also tell the girls that I wasn’t going to be home for the night.

  “Yeah,” he said, tightening his grip on my inner thigh.

  “Are we good? I hate being a nag or whatever, but I just want to make sure that I didn’t do anything.”

  “Fuck, no.” He grabbed my hand and brought it up to his mouth. “You haven’t done anything at all. I’m sorry. I’m good. We’re good. I promise.” He gave me a small smile in reassurance, but I still felt like he was lying.

  “Okay, well, if you want to talk about it, I’m here.”

  “I know, Moonbeam.” Zach pulled into my driveway and put the car in park.

  “Are you coming in?” I asked, opening the door.

  “I will but I’ll stay out of your bedroom or else we won’t be going anywhere.” He winked.

  I laughed, the heaviness billowing around us, simmering some. “Alright then, Zachary. Let’s go so I can get my clothes and you can take me to your condo.”

  He grinned. “I think I’m going to enjoy having you in my space.”

  I smiled, shaking my head.

  When we entered the house, it seemed like all of our friends were over, even though it was just pushing two in the afternoon..

  Meadow and Piper were setting the dining room table when Gigi came into the house from the backyard.

  “Hey guys,” Meadow said. “How’s your dad, Zach?�
��

  “Good. He’s going home today. I’m sure the doctors were hoping he would stay longer but you know him,” Zach said as we walked farther into the house.

  “Yeah.” Gigi laughed. “I think all of our dads would be the same way.”

  “Definitely.” Meadow sat at the head of the table. “I decided to make lunch. Trying to practice my cooking skills outside of baking. You’re welcome to join us.”

  “I’m always up for a home-cooked meal,” I said. “I’ll get ready after,” I told Zach.

  “Of course.” He brushed his fingers down the length of my arm before linking our hands. Leading me to the table, he pulled a chair out for me.

  “Awww, so sweet,” Meadow swooned.

  I laughed, my cheeks burning. I sat, pulling the chair forward. “Thank you.”

  Zach only nodded and sat beside me.

  “This looks amazing,” Piper said as Ashton and Aiden came into the house from the backyard.

  Meadow’s smile widened. “Thank you.”

  “It really does.” Aiden moved beside Piper, standing close.

  “I’m going to eat outside.” Piper grabbed her plate and headed out into the backyard.

  Ashton went to follow her when I shot up from the table. I acted first before I could think about it. I stepped in front of him.

  His brows narrowed.

  “Leave her alone,” I said gently.

  “I was going to keep her company,” he said.

  “Right.” I could see Zach moving beside me out of the corner of my eye. He didn’t say anything. He didn’t need to. Ashton needed to back off. “I don’t know what’s going on between you three.” I looked at Aiden before meeting Ashton’s gaze once again. “But give her some space.”

  “I think you should mind your own business,” Ashton muttered, grabbing a bun out of the bowl on the table.

  “I think you should think before you make a stupid decision.” I turned and headed to the patio door. “I’m going to keep her company.” I passed a glance at Zach.
