Before I stepped out of my sweatpants and bared the rest of my body for her.
Just like she had done for me.

Hannah
I couldn’t stop running my fingers over his muscles. As he hovered over me, his gaze caressing my body, I let my fingertips rumble over his etched form. He was the most beautiful man I’d ever laid eyes on, and his geometric tattoos called to my tongue. I raised my head and kissed his pecs. I wrapped my arms around him and dug my fingertips into the sinewy, rippling features of his back. With my bare legs spread and my arousal dripping down my ass crack, all I wanted was for him to fill me. To take me.
To help me forget.
“You have no idea, do you?”
My eyes found his stare. “What?”
Ash snickered. “You have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?”
My eyes watered. “Why don’t you show me?”
The second his lips fell to my neck, my back arched. My puckered tits settled against his chest as his lips slid down my pulse point. I raked my nails down his back. His growl bubbled in his throat as he kissed down the valley of my breasts. His hair teased my skin, making me jump and giggle before his tongue made me gasp and moan. His knees parted my legs as he frogged out his own, spreading me like I’d ever been spread before. I felt pinned beneath him as his tongue traced my nipples, teasing them and warming them while my hands explored his body.
“Ash, my god,” I whispered.
Then, he perched himself between my legs.
I raised myself up on my elbows as he slid his arms beneath my thighs. His muscles propped me up, tilting my pelvis back and opening my pussy lips for him. He eyed my wetness with a hunger that made my gut clench. My head fell back to the mattress as I clung to the sheets, bracing myself for the appetite that came with a man his size.
But the soft lick against my welcoming slit shocked me.
And made me jump.
“Oh! Fuck.”
He chuckled as his tongue pierced through my heat, all the way down to my clit.
“Shit, Ash,” I groaned.
He licked it softly. “You like that?”
I bucked my hips in response before his hand wrapped around my legs, pinning my hips to the mattress.
“That’s what I thought,” he grumbled.
His tongue dove into my depths and all I saw were stars. My eyes rolled back, cloaking my world in darkness as his tongue snaked itself into my tight little hole. I bucked ravenously against him. My hands flew into his hair, gripping as tightly as I could. He pressed his face deeper between my lower lips, feeling my juices coating his face. The stubble against his jawline tickled me. My bare heels dug into his back as I clenched my thighs around his face. He growled with every mouthful he swallowed down. His tongue ran across my clit, flattening against its sensitive surface.
And when my back arched again, I was ready to pop.
“Ash! I’m coming!”
He raked his tongue against my clit as my thighs quivered.
“Ye-e-e-e-e-es!”
I moaned and whimpered as my orgasm crashed over me. Something sprayed from in between my legs and Ash slowly rose up. He kissed my inner thighs. He kissed where my hips bones would’ve shown had I not been so big. He even rested his cheek against the dollop of fat I had sitting behind my belly button.
And as my body settled down, he kissed my stomach.
“Oh, my,” I whispered.
He chuckled. “I hope you’re not finished. Because I’m certainly not done with you yet.”
I grabbed his hair. “Get up here and fill me, you son of a bitch.”
With a growl and a pounce, his lips crashed against mine. His tongue ravenously devoured me as my legs parted for his thick, massive body. His pelvis settled against my own as his cock slicked itself between my pussy lips, shocking me at its girth. I trembled with a need to feel him. I locked my legs around him and opened up the whole of my body to his taking. I gazed into his eyes as I reached down, lining his dick up with my entrance.
Then, he thrusted forward. And my pussy swallowed him whole in one fell swoop.
“Holy fuck!” I cried out.
He kissed my neck. “Damn it, you’re so fucking tight.”
I squeezed my walls around him. “Move. For the love of hell, do something.”
He chuckled as he pulled his hips back, planting his hands into the mattress. His darkened eyes gazed upon my own as he slid his dick out all the way to the tip. I wrapped my hands around his forearms and braced myself for impact. And as he slammed back in, my tits jumped so hard they almost smacked me in the face.
“Shit,” I hissed.
“My God, you feel like heaven,” he growled.
With every snap of his pelvis against my own, the sounds of skin slapping skin filled the room. My eyes rolled back, and my body molded to his as he took me however he wished. His cock filled me to the brim. It slid against my walls and spread me back further than I’d ever been spread before. He stroked every single wonderful part of me at once, causing me to lose my own breath every time I tried to gasp for it.
But just before I unraveled again, he pulled away from me.
“Ash? Wha—no, no, no, no, no. Come back. Please.”
He gripped my ankles. “Hold on, beautiful.”
He flipped me over and I squealed before he pulled me to the edge of the bed. His hands commanded my body as he raised my hips into the air. My juices dripped down my thighs. I felt him staring at me as he ran his hands over the globes of my ass. He gripped my cheeks and pulled them apart, teasing my puckered asshole with the imprint of his thumb.
Then, he buried his finger deep into my ass.
Before filling me with his dick.
“Ash! Holy fuck!”
“That’s it. Squeeze me tight, Hannah.”
“Ash. Ash. Ash. Holy hell. I’ve never—felt like this. You--you’re so--.”
He pounded against me, making my body lurch and my ass cheeks jump. I lost myself in the feel of him. In the way his finger and his cock filled me like I’d never been filled before. My jaw unhinged. I felt myself drooling on the bed. Electricity and pleasure blinded my mind, sweeping me beneath its debaucherous current. My toes curled so deeply my calves cramped. I straightened my legs out and felt Ash fall against me, holding himself up with his elbows.
And as he continued to fuck me senseless, my orgasm crashed over me once again.
“Hoooooly fuuuuucking… yes, Daddy. Please.”
He paused. “What did you call me?”
My eyes slowly fell open. “Huh?”
His lips fell to my ear. “What. Did you just call me?”
I swallowed hard. “I won’t do it again if you don’t like it. I just—”
He growled. “Say it.”
I shivered. “Daddy?”
He kissed the shell of my ear. “Yes, princess?”
I paused. “You—you like that?”
He slowly eased his cock into my body. “You know I do, sweetheart.”
My breath shuddered. “Daddy, please.”
“Please, what?”
I swallowed hard. “Daddy, please fuck me.”
He fisted my hair. “With pleasure, princess.”
He pulled my head back and latched his lips against my neck. And with every stroke of his cock, I grew closer to the edge. His dick grew against my walls. His hips stuttered as my juices leaked against the bed. I whimpered for more. I begged Ash for everything he had. And as his lips explored the length of my neck, I gripped the bed sheets so tightly my forearms ached.
“Daddy! I’m coming! Yes, Daddy! Please!”
He growled. “Come for me, sweet girl. You know what Daddy likes.”
I shivered and shook. I fell over the edge and lost myself in the darkness. Colors burst and sizzled behind my eyelids. His cock throbbed with every release of arousal his balls made inside my body, painting me. Marking me. Solidifying me as his own.
Then, he collapsed
beside me, his eyes gazing up toward the ceiling.
“Holy shit,” he breathed.
I snickered. “Feel better?”
He looked over at me. “Did I hurt you?”
I shook my head. “You could never hurt me.”
He grinned. “Good girl.”
My heart fluttered at his words.
We laid there for a while, just staring at one another. But my body slowly slipped into sleep. My exes complained about that all the time, how I always fell asleep after sex. I didn’t hear Ash complain, though.
I did, however, feel my body being lifted.
“Ash?” I asked groggily.
He chuckled. “I think it’s time for a bath.”
“Huh?”
“How does a warm bath sound right now?”
“I don’t have a bath.”
“I do.”
I paused. “One that fits you?”
He snorted. “Just come on.”
I curled against him, feeling our intermingled arousal sliding from between my legs. He carried me up the stairs and into his bathroom before placing me inside a bathtub whose size I wasn’t sure existed. I mean, the damn thing could hold at least four of me. Easily. And when Ash turned on the water, he used his arm to keep the cold splatters from hitting me as the water poured into the tub.
He’s so considerate.
“Bubbles?” Ash asked.
I looked up at him with groggy eyes. “Are you getting in with me?”
He nodded. “I am.”
“Then, do you like bubbles?”
I watched him tip the bottle over. “I do.”
The water was warm and inviting. The bubbles smelled of vanilla and honeysuckle. They mounted as Ash leaned me up, easing himself into the tub with me. He settled behind me, his legs cradling the whole of my form. I leaned my head against his chest, relishing how his heartbeat felt behind my head. I closed my eyes, drawing in the moment. Committing it to memory before it faded away into obscurity.
This is the best any man has ever treated me.
“Sounds like you’ve been with some real dickheads, then,” Ash said.
My eyes fluttered open. “Hmm?”
“If this is the best a man has ever treated you, then you need to up your standards.”
I paused. “I said that out loud?”
He snickered. “Didn’t mean to?”
I shook my head softly. “Nope.”
When the bubbles and the water covered my breasts, Ash reached forward. He turned off the water and sank down, taking me along with him. I turned to my side and curled against his strength, and his warmth. His arms wrapped around me like a protective jacket, cloaking me off from the rest of the world. I liked this. This thing I had with him. I didn't know what it was, and I didn't know whether it would be more, but I hoped it might go that way.
I hoped things might turn that way.
Good guys like him never go for you.
“Ah, you never know, Hannah,” Ash murmured.
I sighed. “I did it again, didn’t I?”
“Hey, at least I know you can never hide anything from me. That’s reassuring.”
I giggled. “I talk in my sleep, too.”
“So I’ve noticed.”
I looked up at him. “What now?”
He paused. “Uh, well. I mean, it’s just—”
I sat up. “Ash, have you been watching me sleep?”
“I mean, I’m not creeping on you or anything. But sometimes I’ll come downstairs to get something out of your kitchen and hear you murmuring to yourself.”
“Oh.”
He furrowed his brow. “Why do you sound disappointed?”
“I’m not disappointed, you weirdo.”
“Then, why the change of voice?”
I laid my head on his shoulder. “Didn’t you ever think of coming and crawling into bed with me?”
His arm wrapped behind my back. “More times than I can count.”
I smiled. “Well, maybe try doing it next time. You never know what might happen.”
“Mmm, I like the sound of that.”
My fingertips danced against his tattoo on his chest. “Do you have work today?”
“Nothing I can’t get done tomorrow.”
“Wait, so you have to work today?”
I looked up at him and watched him shake his head.
“Like I said, I can get it done tomorrow.”
I paused. “You won’t get in trouble, will you?”
“Nah. I’ll be fine. Besides, Bowser and Link have been off the radar for a few days now. They can’t fault me if I decide not to check in for an afternoon.”
I couldn't believe he blew off work for me. I wasn’t sure what I’d done to deserve it, but an entire day in bed with Ash sounded like heaven. I rested against him and let the bubbles pop against my skin. Every once in a while, he’d swirl bubbles around on my back, or the outside of my thigh. As if he were trying to clean me down. But once the water started growing cold, Ash shifted around.
Before the draining sound of water hit my ears.
“Come on. I’ll order us some food,” he said.
Then, I was sailing in midair again. Cradled in his arms as he walked us into his bedroom.
“Are you not going to give me a choice with anything today?” I asked.
He settled me against his bed. “You can choose what we eat, if you’d like.”
I giggled. “How does pizza sound?”
“Oh, I never turn down a good pizza.”
“Your mattress is going to be soaked, you know.”
He slid in bed next to me. “It doesn’t matter. I need a new one anyway. If it starts smelling funky, gives me a reason to switch it out.”
“Wait, does pizza deliver all the way out here?”
He nodded. “It does when I order from the pizza place the crew invests in.”
“Ah, the perks of being the girlfriend of a—”
The second the word slipped from my mouth; I knew I had done it. I knew I had fucked everything up. I braced myself for impact. I braced myself for his anger or for him kicking me out of bed. Surely, he’d never want anything to do with me after this.
Instead, though, he pulled me beneath the covers and held me against his body.
“I suppose there are perks, sure. But there are just as many risks,” Ash murmured.
I slowly turned to face him. “Like… what?”
His eyes danced along my face. “Like, the trouble we get into. You know, with this op and stuff.”
“This isn’t the first time something like this has happened?”
“Unfortunately, no. And it won’t be the last. And even then, what we’re dealing with right now is mild compared to a couple of the issues we’ve gotten into in the past.”
“Sounds like you take on a lot of burden with your lot in life.”
He shrugged. “I make good money, I’ve made even better investments, and I know I can walk away at any time and start a new life for myself.”
“But…?”
“But those men are my family now. We’re ride or die. And I think that’s the biggest risk that comes with my life.”
I swallowed hard. “The fact that, at any point in time, I could lose you.”
“Yep.”
I sighed. “Well, why don’t we order us a nice pizza, get some soda, maybe order a dessert, and take it an hour at a time.”
He grinned. “I know what I want to do with my next hour, too.”
I quirked an eyebrow. “What happened to eating, big boy?”
He flipped me over onto my back and pinned me to his bed.
“Even after I place the order, it’ll take them an hour to get here.”
I smiled brightly. “So, why don’t you place that order, then come give me a taste of what’s on your mind?”
His cock stiffened against the inside of my thigh. “I guess there’s only one question to ask.”
“What’s that, Daddy?”
&n
bsp; His eyes darkened with lust. “What do you like on your pizza, princess?”

Ash
I smiled as I gazed upon Hannah’s sleeping face. Even in her sleep, she had the softest smile against her cheeks that warmed my heart to its core. My hand was numb and my arm ached, but I didn’t dare move. I didn’t want to bother the sleeping angel next to me.
I wanted to hold this moment in my memory forever.
As the sunlight streamed through the windows, I watched her eyes flutter. She groaned and turned over, seeking more of my warmth as her head fell against my chest. With her hair splayed along my skin, I shook out my hand. I ran my fingertips through her hair, unraveling the knots we had created well into the early morning hours. My body ached in all the best ways because of it. The pizza we shared in bed together left a stale smell at the foot of the bed, but I didn’t care. The only thing I cared about was the sleeping beauty next to me that kept me company all night.
I never wanted the moment to end.
She looked good in my bed. Naked, beneath my covers. And as I laid there staring at the ceiling fan twirling around, I came to the conclusion that I wanted every morning to be this way. I wanted to wake up to her soft, sleepy smile every morning at eight and I wanted to wake her up with my tongue and listen to her groggy voice chant my name while her hips rolled against my tongue. I had half a mind to start the trend right then and there. Just creep between her legs, move them over my shoulders, and dive into my breakfast.
I resisted the urge, though.
You can’t make that kind of commitment.
I sighed as I kissed the top of her head softly. As much as I hated the voice in my head sometimes, it was right. I had a lot of scars from my past. I’d made a lot of mistakes and hurt a lot of people along the way. Not to mention, Hannah still wasn’t safe. I’d already gone back on my word to myself, and I didn’t intend on compromising her anymore. Until further notice, the only focus I needed to have was on her safety. On making sure she had the ability to create a life for herself she could show off with pride.
Even if I wasn’t in it.
Besides, I didn’t know if I was ready for some sort of life-long commitment. I didn’t know if I was ready to financially provide for a family and keep up with the needs of more than just myself. In some ways, I enjoyed the life I already led. I dealt with the guys during the day, then I got to come home to peace and quiet. If I added someone to my life, that peace and quiet would be gone.
