“What are you doing?” I squealed.
“You walk too slow,” he said, picking up speed. We had one block. One block to go before we both got what we finally wanted.
“You know, it’s not really nice to insult the woman you’re about to spend the night with.”
“Don’t give a shit.” He landed a hand against my ass. “Now shut the fuck up.”
I laughed. “Someone’s grumpy. You need to get laid.”
“Oh, I will. In about a half an hour.”
“Half an hour?” My core ached at the thought that he wouldn’t be inside me before then.
“Yes.”
Once we reached the motel, he carried me up the stairs and dropped me to my feet when we stopped in front of a door.
“Why half an hour?” I asked, running my hands inside his suit jacket.
“Because.” He unlocked the door and pushed me inside. “I’m going to spend twenty-nine minutes eating your sweet pussy.”
“Oh…well, when you put it like that.” I fisted his dress shirt in my hands and pulled him closer.
He smirked, kicked the door closed and circled his arms around my waist. “It’s been a long time since I’ve felt you against me, baby.”
“Too long, Atlas,” I whispered, running my fingers through his hair. All thoughts of being angry over him leaving in the first place, left when he cupped my ass and lifted me in his arms. Wrapping my legs around his waist, I licked along his bottom lip. “Did you miss me?”
“More than you’ll ever fucking know.”
Before anymore words could be said, he covered my mouth with his.
I sighed, breathing him in. His tongue split my lips apart, diving deep. Diving hard. The kiss became frantic, my hands tightening in his hair.
His fingers dug into the cheeks of my ass. He pushed me up against the wall, pushing between my spread thighs and undulated against me.
It had been a long time since I felt the touch of a man. Too long in fact. More than I ever cared to admit. Atlas had been the only one to not care that my father was the sheriff of this town. Even though when I knew Atlas as a kid, he was just starting out as a rookie. It didn’t matter. My dad was grumpy as hell and that only seemed to make Atlas pursue me harder. It was what had drawn me to him. Even though we were young and innocent.
“Marley.” He broke the kiss, staring down at me. “You’re thinking.”
“I’m not.” My heart jumped that he could still read me so well.
He gave me one of his signature smirks. “Yeah, baby, you are. Is my kiss not that good that you have to think about other shit while my tongue’s deep inside your mouth? Do I need to up my game and distract you?”
A breathless laugh escaped me. “Do what you gotta do, Atlas.”
A wicked grin spread on his face. Dropping me to my feet, he spun me around and pushed me face first against the wall. Running his fingers along the back of my neck, he brushed my fingers off my nape and licked along the shell of my ear. “I haven’t felt a wet pussy in a long time, Marley.”
“And why’s that?” He was beautiful, lethal and a prestigious lawyer. I was sure he could get any woman he wanted with that delicious smirk of his.
“Because none of them were you. I’d rather be celibate than try and fuck you out of my head.”
My heart jumped to my throat. “Then why the hell did you wait so long to come back?”
He pushed his erection against the seat of my ass, his hot breath fanning the side of my face. “I wanted to make sure I was good enough for you.”
A breath caught in my throat. “How long has it been?”
“Over a year.” He brushed his mouth along the shell of my ear. “I wanted to take this slow. I had every intention of asking you out on a date but then I saw you and all of my thoughts rushed to my dick instead.”
“Fuck slow.” I spun around and pushed him back. “It’s been a long time for me too, Atlas. Too long. So damn long that even my fingers don’t cut it anymore.” I pushed him again and sauntered toward him. “I want you. I want you to rip me apart. I don’t want you to fuck me like you did when we were kids. I don’t want you to make love to me. I want you to fuck me so hard, the walls shake.”
He tilted his head, his eyes darkening.
Just when I thought he was going to tell me I was bat shit crazy, a wicked grin spread on his face. He pointed to the floor and started unbuckling his belt. “Kneel.”
I swallowed hard.
Maybe I spoke too soon.
Atlas
When Marley knelt, it stirred that dark part of me. That Alpha part. That part that wanted to completely consume her since I came back to this Godforsaken town. I had meant what I said. I did want to take things slow but now that we were back at my motel and she was on her knees? Like she said, fuck slow.
Ripping my belt free from its loops, I tossed it to the floor and lowered the zipper the rest of the way.
Marley licked her lips, watching my every move.
Reaching into my pants, I pulled out my straining cock.
Her eyes widened.
“I’m a little bigger than the last time you saw me.” That was seven years ago. We both grew up. Mentally and physically. “And I also know how to use it better this time around.”
A husky laugh escaped her. “You still made me come.”
“Yeah. I did.” I took a step toward her, stroking my cock from base to tip. “You’re going to keep your hands on your knees and I’m going to fuck your throat. You understand me, Marley?”
She nodded, her cheeks reddening and her eyes going dark with lust.
“Good girl. If you use your teeth, I will deny you that orgasm you’ve been craving all night.” I fisted her hair, tugging her head back.
She gasped, her mouth falling open and her knees involuntarily spreading apart.
“Hands on knees. Now.”
She complied, placing her palms on her thighs and waited.
Running the tip of my dick along her mouth, I coated her bottom lip with my pre-cum.
Her nostrils flared, her tongue peeking out to get a taste.
A shiver of pleasure shot down my spine, making my cock harden even more. Teasing myself, I continued running the head along her lips. “You want my cock down this throat, baby?”
“Yes,” she whispered.
“Good. Open. Wide.” Before she could take her next breath, I shoved my cock between her lips.
Marley jumped, gagging around the shaft.
“Come on, sweet girl. I know you can take it.” I fisted her hair with both hands, thrusting my hips back and forth.
Her eyes welled, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Pulling free from her mouth, I gave her a moment to catch her breath. “You good?”
She grinned, giving me a wink. “More.”
“Lean against the wall.” She wanted more. Well I was going to make it so she couldn’t get away. She would be stuck between the wall and me and the only way out would be to take whatever it was that I wanted to give her.
Marley shuffled back, keeping her hands on her knees and leaned against the wall like a good little girl. “Atlas.”
“Yeah?” I took a step toward her, running my hand down the length of my dick. It was coated with her saliva, which would make fucking her ass later that much easier.
Much to my surprise, Marley rose to her full height. “As much as I love having your dick in my mouth.” She ran her hand down my chest to my crotch. Wrapping her fingers around me, she cupped my nape with her other hand. “I think you should fuck me instead.”
“Is that so?” I circled my fingers around her throat, pushing her back against the wall. “And if I don’t? What will you do then?”
“I’ll just finish the job myself.” She smirked, tightening her hold on my cock.
I shivered, a spark of need rushing through me. “Fucking hell.”
A breathless laugh escaped her. “Come on, baby. I know you want to fuck me.”
“You have no idea how true that statement is.” I leaned my forehead against hers. As much as I wanted inside of her, our joined hands currently stroking my cock was almost just as good.
Marley released me, pushing me back and turned around. She undid her jeans and pushed them down her hips. A red thong graced her beautiful ass, the tiny string sitting between the cheeks.
Stepping up behind her, I ran the tip of my cock over one cheek before repeating the action with other.
She looked at me over her shoulder.
“Something you like, Marley?” I asked her, brushing my finger down her spine before hooking it in the string of her thong. I pulled it to the side, pushing the tip of my dick between the wet folds of her soaked pussy.
“God.” She shivered, arching into me.
“Something you want?” I teased, leaning down to her ear. “You want my fat dick inside this tight little body, baby?” I thrust forward and back, teasing us both.
She reached between her legs, running her hand over my cock as I thrust forward.
Pleasure shot up my spine. As much as I wanted inside her, this was good. So damn good. It was hard to stop. Hell, I didn’t want to.
“Geeze, Marley.” I fisted her hair and gave the spot beneath her ear a gentle nip. “You’re fucking soaked.”
“It’s been awhile.” She leaned her head against my shoulder. “A long while.”
Before I could take it any further, I pulled away and grabbed a condom from my pocket. “Rip it open,” I demanded, holding the square package in front of her mouth.
She did as she was told, ripping it open with her teeth.
Wrapping up my dick, I pushed it back between her thighs, continuing to tease us both.
Marley placed her hands on the wall and arched her back, sticking her ass out.
“Give me those beautiful eyes, baby,” I growled, digging my fingers into the cheeks of her ass.
Her dark eyes met mine, a sly grin spreading on her face.
I took that as a hint and in one smooth thrust, I was balls deep inside her.
She cried out.
Her body gripped me tight, sucking me in even deeper. My fingers dug into her ass. She was going to have bruises in the morning, but I didn’t care. This was me taking back what was mine. What had been mine this whole damn time.

(Marley)
Atlas was deep inside me. That part of him that refused to give up control, took over and made use of my body good and hard. His grip on my rear was so damn tight, the slice of pain sent a wave of heat licking over my skin.
He was bigger than I last remembered. His cock stretched me, the size of him threatening to consume me completely.
“Fuck, Marley.” Atlas lifted my shirt up and over my head and ripped my panties off of me, all while remaining inside of me.
His hands cupped my breasts, pulling me back against him. His teeth sunk into my shoulder, his hips slamming into my ass.
“God, Atlas. Harder. Please fuck me harder.” I couldn’t control it. I had never been used like this before. I had never felt this sort of pleasure. He was so deep inside of me, it was like he was trying to fuck my very existence.
“That’s it, baby. Take it all. You’re a good little girl, taking my big cock.”
I whimpered, cupping his hands that were covering my breasts and pushed back against him. “Yes.”
“Such a good girl.” Atlas suddenly released me and shoved my jeans down my legs. He tossed them to the side and ran his hands up the back of my legs. His mouth found my skin. Hot, wet kisses graced my flesh. The tiny hairs on my body tingled. Hinting, begging, pleading for everything he had to give me.
When he rose back to his full height behind me, he spun me around. In a quick move, he had me in his arms and my legs wrapped around his waist. Thrusting back into my body, he covered my mouth with his.
I sighed, snaking my arms around his thick shoulders. My thighs trembled, my pussy throbbed.
I was going to be sore as hell tomorrow, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care about anything but the man currently inside of me.
Marley
Making my way out onto the small balcony, I pulled the white robe closed as a draft of cool wind whipped around me. Every inch of me hurt but at the same time, I felt at peace. It was like years of pent up frustration and tension had built up since Atlas and I saw each other last and now, when we were finally able to take it out on each other, all was right in the world.
I smiled when a warm body came up behind me.
Atlas brushed the hair off the back of my neck and placed a soft peck just below my ear. “You smell good.”
A shiver trembled through me. “When do you have to leave?” I asked, not wanting to ruin this moment with him but also realizing that this would eventually come to an end. Might as well get used to the fact that he wasn’t sticking around before my heart got broken. Again.
He sighed, pushing away from me and sat in a chair to the left. He patted his lap, his dark eyes meeting mine.
I moved to the spot between his knees, running a hand through his hair. “I’m not going to ask you to stay, Atlas. I’m not that girl anymore. We’re both adults but you also have to know, I can’t wait for you anymore.” I spent seven years doing that, it was time I moved on. Tonight, proved how much I needed to do just that.
He leaned forward, resting his forehead against my chest. “Come to the city with me.”
“What?” I laughed, stepping away from him. “You can’t be serious.”
“Why the fuck can’t I?” He pointed at me. “There’s nothing here for you. Your parents will miss you, I’m sure, but I also know that they would understand.”
“I have my business, Atlas. I told you that I opened my bookstore finally. Besides, you can’t sit there and tell me that after all of this time, you’re wanting to pick things back up again? What we had was a long time ago. And you only came back here because your grandfather died. You never contacted me before now.” I lifted my hand when he went to speak. “I know you were finding yourself and making yourself be a better man, but you can’t expect me to believe that you waited all this time for me.”
“A year. I told you that it’s been a year since I’ve had sex. Probably even longer. And no, I’m not going to sit here and deny the fact that I haven’t had sex with other women. I’m human. Just like I know you’ve had sex with other men, Marley.”
I looked away, guilt resonating on my shoulders even though he didn’t deserve it.
“Hey.” Atlas came toward me, cupping my face and turned my head to meet his stare. “I’m not mad that you’ve had other men besides me. I’m not like that and I could never expect that of you. Do I wish I was the only one you felt inside of you? Sure. Yes, I won’t lie and say different but that’s not reasonable of me.” He tilted my head back. “I’m not asking for marriage or anything. I just want you to come to the city and try it out with me. You will always have a home here if it doesn’t work out. But…” He gave me a cocky grin. “I have a feeling that won’t happen.”
“I can’t. This is my home. I have my store. I’m not you. I never needed to leave.”
“I left because of my father.”
I snorted. “Sure, Atlas. He may have been the main reason, but I know you weren’t happy here either. You kept going on about how you were going to go to university across the damn country. Remember when you said that? Remember when you told me that you were going to leave but I didn’t believe you…I…I…”
“Marley.” Atlas leaned his forehead against mine, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry for hurting you and for not contacting you. But I’m not sorry for loving you.”
My breath hitched. “I can’t do this. I can’t be with you and worry that you’re going to leave again.”
“That won’t happen.” He leaned back, brushing his thumbs across my cheeks to wipe the tears away. “Not after everything. I should have come back sooner. I know I sh
ould have but…”
“You were trying to become a hot shot lawyer.” I pushed away from him, rubbing the back of my neck. “I should go.”
“Marley, please.”
I lifted my hand when he took a step toward me. “I need time to think. You will give me time. You will go to your grandfather’s funeral. I will also go out of support for you. But other than that, I don’t want to talk about this again until I’ve had a few days.” My mind was racing with all of the possibilities that Atlas just threw at me. I needed time. And I needed another fucking drink.

(Atlas)
I didn’t want her to leave. Hell, I didn’t even want to go to my grandfather’s funeral. I just wanted to take Marley away, head back to the city and prove to her how serious I was. But she was right. She had her store. How could I ever expect her to leave when she finally had the business she wanted since we were kids?
As I sat in the chair in the corner of the motel room, I watched Marley flutter around. She grabbed her clothes, got dressed and gathered up the rest of her things. My gaze flicked to the messy bed, my body stirring at what we had done. And the many times we had done it. I was surprised that she was able to move around so quickly. My muscles ached like I had just run a marathon.
But even though they hurt, they hurt so damn good. It was a pain that I never wanted to go away. No matter how much time had passed between Marley and I, I knew she was it for me. I just had to show her how right we were together and how serious I was.
Marley
“You have got to be fucking kidding me.”
I groaned. “I wish I was.”
Tawny Andrews paced back and forth. She clasped her hands together behind her back. “So, Atlas is back in town and he wants to pick things up where they left off seven years ago. And the only reason he’s back in town is because his grandfather died.” She stopped, staring at me when I didn’t say anything. “I just wanted you to finally get laid. I never expected him to actually want more.”
“Same. Am I crazy for wanting to take him up on his offer?” It had been two days since I spent the night with Atlas. When I left the motel, I had gone home and as much as I didn’t want to, I had a shower and washed him off of me. Now I was at my best friend’s place, hoping I would get the advice I was looking for.
