Pax felt something begin to stew at the bottom of his stomach, getting hotter and hotter as he continued to look at Jessica, watching as all hope appeared to slip out of her body. Fuck this, he thought. I’m not giving up that easily.
“I’m not working for him,” he said before chugging furiously from his bottle.
Jessica nodded, looking over him with wide, sad eyes that seemed to be expressing something that couldn’t be put into words. “You can always quit before the Nightwalkers take over. They’d probably fire you anyway. You’re too disobedient. Gary would never allow you to hang around to fuck things up.”
“No, I mean, I’m not letting him take this place over,” Pax said with as much confidence as he could muster. “I just got here. I’m not leaving so fucking quickly.”
Jessica stared at him for a long moment, appearing to hold words back before they eventually spilled out of her on their own accord. “What can we do?”
We? For some reason that word sent shivers down Pax’s spine, but he internally shook it off, meeting Jessica’s eye contact unflinchingly. Unlike all the other girls he bedded over the past couple years, Jessica hadn’t become clingy. She hadn’t tried to get him to be exclusive or call him her boyfriend or anything like that. Maybe he could spend more time around her without complicating things, even if she did throw words like “we” around so casually, apparently oblivious to the fact that it felt like a bomb being tossed in Pax’s face.
He cleared his throat and addressed her question. “Yeah. I’ll help you. We fight him off, every way we can. You’re right, the Nightwalkers own this town. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We just have to be smart about it.”
Jessica nodded slowly and blew out her breath. “That… actually makes me feel better. I feel like I haven’t relaxed in like twenty years,” she said with a laugh, tipping the bottom of the beer bottle up to the ceiling to chug.
There was something about the way she looked sitting there on the floor, the way she had her legs bent under her body, her spine at an angle as it leaned against the wall behind her. The worry was coming off of her in practically tangible waves that almost overwhelmed Pax with their intensity. She wasn’t just anxious; her entire body was consumed by fear. It was such a shame, seeing something so beautiful be so torn-up, all because of a gutless little bully that liked to control things.
Well, he wasn’t going to control her tonight, Pax decided. He downed the rest of his beer and shuffled a little closer to Jessica on the floor before reaching his hand out to touch her knee. Jessica flinched a little under his touch, her leg going stiff as she turned her head to ask, “What are you doing?”
“What I want,” Pax said with a shrug, squeezing lightly at her knee and petting at her thigh with his fingers, feeling the tension begin to dissipate under his touch. “What about you? What do you want?”
Jessica sighed heavily, putting her beer bottle on the ground on the other side of her body before shifting to turn at an angle, facing Pax head-on. “I don’t know. I just want to stop feeling this way.”
“What would you rather feel?” Pax asked, leaning in closer to brush some of the hair away from Jessica’s forehead.
Jessica inhaled unsteadily, shutting her eyes before she placed her hand on top of Pax’s, encouraging him to grab onto the side of her head. “I want to feel good, for once. Please. I know you can help me.”
The raw emotion in her voice, the desperation to feel anything other than the crushing weight of the worry she held on her shoulders made Pax feel helpless and powerful, all at once. In this moment, he wanted nothing more than to take her burdens away, one by one until she was naked and safe and whole. He didn’t want her to be his girlfriend, but somehow, she felt like his responsibility anyway, and the truly terrifying thing was that that didn’t scare him nearly as much as it should have.
He leaned forward to lick the outer shell of her ear, relishing the sound of her soft gasp. He dropped a few gentle, teasing kisses along the side of her neck, dragging the barest edge of his teeth along the vein in her neck. Then, he licked his lips and leaned in against her ear again, letting his warm breath make all of her nerve endings spring to life as he whispered, “Take off your clothes.”
Chapter Ten
Jessica
Jessica flung her shirt across the main room of the bar, sending it sailing somewhere beyond her line of sight. But she couldn’t worry about that now. She unclasped her bra and throw it away before pushing her jeans and underwear down to her knees, revealing her whole body as she sat before Pax. He hadn’t really appreciated her naked form yet, even when they fucked before, so she felt strangely vulnerable, bare under his burning gaze.
Pax’s hand, which had pulled away from her while she tossed her clothes away from her body, now returned to her neck, rubbing at her sensitive skin for a moment before sliding south, stopping to grab at her breasts. “Such nice fucking tits,” Pax said between gritted teeth, looking like an animal preparing to dive into his prey.
“Thank you,” Jessica said, feeling herself grow hot in between her legs as Pax kept scanning up and down her body, soaking in every detail of her naked form. “Can I see you?” she asked hesitantly, reaching forward to grab the hem of his shirt and tugging softly to get her message across.
Pax pushed her hand away, and for a second Jessica felt crushed, like he’d rejected her entirely, but then she realized he’d only done so to get out of his clothes himself, throwing them across the room before he closed the distance between their bodies. He pressed his nakedness against hers and lowering her to the floor. Jessica felt his bare, hard cock press up against her thighs, making her feel woozy and lightheaded, overwhelmed by the sensations suddenly surrounding her whole body. She was caught up in Pax’s warmth, his limbs trapping her against the floor, with only her jeans and his shirt propped up under her head to protect her.
“You’re so fucking hot,” Pax whispered into her ear before biting down hard at the juncture of her neck and shoulder.
“Mm! Oh, shit!” Jessica cried out, grabbing at the back of Pax’s head to anchor herself as he dug his teeth deep into her skin, gnawing at her like she was the tastiest dessert in the world. He kept going, applying more and more pressure until she felt like she was going to crack in half, but she didn’t care. She needed more. Jessica dragged her nails down Pax’s back, causing him to hiss into her neck in a mixture of pleasure and pain. Her hands found his ass, grabbing at the firm muscles there and pushing his pelvis against hers.
“Oh! Oh, fuck!” Jessica cried out as Pax’s cock lined up against her wet, warm cunt. She could practically feel him throbbing against her skin, his thick dick slowly beginning to press harder against her as Pax’s hips began to move. Oh, shit, Jessica thought. He’s going to fuck me. He’s going to fuck me right now.
Pax’s mouth traveled along her collarbone, nipping sharply with his teeth before licking over the sensitive flesh with his tongue, soothing the sore spots with his lips. He adjusted his hips so that the tip of his cock lined up with Jessica’s hole. Jessica panted furiously, trying to stay as calm and relaxed as possible as Pax slowly shoved into her, the head of his cock slipping inside and spreading her open. Her cunt almost burned with the stretch, but it didn’t hurt. She could take it, especially since she’d gotten so wet from just the way Pax licked and bit her shoulders.
“So fucking tight and ready for me, aren’t you?” Pax grunted into her ear, slapping his hand down on the floor behind Jessica’s head to brace his weight as he began to move above her, thrusting his hips back and forth to let the head of his cock slip in and out of her. Jessica breathed more and more heavily as he moved, her body feeling so hot that she felt like her skin was burning from the inside out. “You like that?” Pax asked, staring deeply into her eyes as he hovered above her.
“Yeah,” Jessica whispered back, grabbing on harder to Pax’s shoulders, grunting a little as his cock slipped into her more deeply, pressing up against her inner walls. As he s
lid in a little deeper, his cock pressed against a sensitive spot inside Jessica’s cunt. “There, right there. Keep fucking me, please, ugh, do it.”
Pax laughed breathlessly above her, leaning down to press his lips against her already-sweaty forehead and brushing the hair away from her face so he could look directly into her eyes. His own eyes shone with some inner light that Jessica had never noticed before, practically piercing her open, making her feel like all of her inner thoughts and emotions were laid bare for him to see.
Pax did as she instructed, keeping his cock at the perfect angle as he thrusted in and out, hitting the sensitive little nub inside of her, sending sparks of sensation coursing outward from inside her cunt, until her whole body was warm, filled with glorious light. Soon enough, Jessica’s hips got a mind of their own, pushing up to take more of Pax’s cock inside of her body.
“Mm, you’re hungry for it, aren’t you?” Pax whispered, licking a wet line down from her neck to the top of her breasts, one of his hands rubbing up the side of her body and stopping to play with her nipples. “You want more?”
Jessica nodded furiously, reaching up to pull Pax’s head down into a long, furious kiss. “I need it. Harder. Fucking harder.”
Pax growled into her mouth, biting hard on her lips as he thrusted his hips forward more forcefully, pinning her down onto the floor with his thick, heavy cock inside of her. He thrusted powerfully, his entire body flexing as he shoved in deeper than before, making Jessica feel like her cunt was being explored thoroughly for the first time in her life. God, she’d never felt this close to anybody before. It was like he’d climbed up inside her body and was rearranging her, putting everything in the right order so that she stopped feeling worried or anxious or fearful. She was just overwhelmed with pleasure, from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet, every inch of her skin alight with heat.
Jessica dug her nails deeper into Pax’s shoulders, gritting her teeth at the delicious combination of pleasure and pain that spread her open, her cunt obeying every movement of Pax’s powerful cock. “God, you’re so fucking big,” she whispered, thinking out loud, jerking her hips up harder to take all of him inside. “Ugh, fuck!”
“Too much for you?” Pax whispered, biting down on her earlobe and causing Jessica to squeal. “Can you take it, baby? Can you take me?” He started shoving in and out more slowly, but harder, the friction of his cock rubbing up against her inner walls becoming too much for Jessica to take. She just had to touch herself, reaching down in between their sweaty, heaving bodies to place two firm fingers on her own clit, jacking herself off to the rhythm of Pax’s cock inside of her.
“I can take it,” Jessica breathed out in response to Pax’s teasing question, leaning up to kiss his mouth, tasting the salt of his skin. “I can fucking take all of it. Give it to me. Ugh, fuck, give it to me.”
Pax reached down and pushed Jessica’s hand away, causing her to whine in wordless complaint before he began to move his own fingers over her clit, pushing it up and down and around in circles while his hips rotated, making his dick brush up against a thousand different sensitive spots inside of her cunt. “Fuck!” Jessica cried out, knocking her head painfully on the hard floor under her body as she tossed her neck back, completely overwhelmed by the sensations building between her legs. It was like her body was strapped into a roller-coaster; it just took her higher and higher into the air, so high that it was hard to breathe, and she was waiting every second for the ride to drop, sending her flying to the ground. She needed it. She needed to feel the air abandon her body, to learn what it felt like to truly let go.
“Yeah, you sexy bitch, you fucking—” Pax cut himself off, evidently breathing too hard to speak. But his hips didn’t relent, his cock shoving in and out faster now, her hole heating up while her clit became more and more inflamed, pulsing under Pax’s fingers.
“It’s happening,” Jessica panted out as the heat between her legs got bigger and bigger, threatening to overtake her entire body in a tremendous wave of pleasure.
“Yeah, do it for me, baby, do it for me, you fucking hot bitch,” Pax said before growling again and consuming her mouth with his, biting hard at her lips and licking his way into her mouth. “Come, baby. Come on, Come.”
His fingers sped up over her clit, jacking it off so quickly that she thought it was going to explode at any second. Jessica moaned helplessly, biting down on her own lip and reaching up to wrap her hand around Pax’s wrist. She felt his heartbeat pound through his skin, right next to hers.
“Oh, fuck!” Jessica screamed as another wave of sensation overcame her cunt, vibrating throughout the rest of her body, her hips jerking back and forth frantically on Pax’s cock as a result. Pax’s fingers squeezed at her clit, while his thumb rubbed up and down on the outsides of her labia, spreading her wetness around. His other hand slipped out of Jessica’s grasp for a second before closing over her hand, squeezing her fingers tight as he fucked into her harder, sending her ass sliding across the floor with the momentum of his thrusts.
“I’m going to fucking come,” he grunted out, breathing raggedly in between each word. “I’m going to come right in your tight little pussy.”
“Do it!” Jessica cried out, suddenly desperate for it as her own pleasure built and built perilously between her thighs. “Please, fucking do it. Fill me the fuck up.”
Pax’s fingers flew over her clit, applying the perfect amount of pressure as the big tangle of sensations in her cunt all merged together, wrapping around each other until they burst apart at once, sending a thousand streams of pleasure coursing up and down her whole body, making her tremble like she’d just been shocked.
A second later, she felt a wonderful pulsing sensation inside of her cunt. It took her a second to realize it was Pax’s own orgasm, his cock coming apart inside of her. “Ugggh, fuck!” Jessica whispered, unable to raise her voice any more after the workout her body had just been through.
“Shit,” Pax murmured, collapsing on top of her a second later, his lips lazily dragging across whatever inch of skin they could find. Jessica reached down and tangled a hand into Pax’s hair, messing up his sweaty locks even more than they’d already been ruffled. She felt like her body was buzzing with energy, her recent orgasm filling her with motivation that she hadn’t felt in a very long time. She didn’t know what she wanted to do, but that she felt like she could conquer the universe, like her body was strong enough to take anything on and win.
But a moment later, as Pax shifted his weight off of her and pulled out, Jessica realized suddenly that they forgot the condom this time. Shit, Jessica thought, reaching down to feel the wetness leaking out between her legs. Shit, shit, shit, she thought as she straightened up, cracking a muscle in her back in the process. I’ll remember to bring condoms to work next time, just in case.
Despite herself, though, she couldn’t help but relish the feeling of Pax’s seed dripping slowly of her cunt. It felt weirdly hot, having someone explode inside of her like that, joining their bodies more deeply than she’d ever been connected to anyone. As she slowly got to her feet and started searching the bar for her clothes, she felt like she could feel Pax still inside of her, giving her strength.
But as she looked over to see him stooping down to pull his pants on, she realized that she was being stupid. He didn’t care about her, not really. At best, they were friends who occasionally fucked each other’s brains out. More likely, they were friendly acquaintances that used each other’s bodies for convenience’s sake. It wasn’t like he was really into her. But that wasn’t what she needed right now anyway, she told herself as she tugged her clothes back on after wiping in between her legs with a sheet of paper towel. She needed space. She needed room to grow. She couldn’t do that with another man breathing down her neck, telling her what to do.
Even still, she couldn’t help but admire the way his hair looked in the back, all mussed-up, betraying his otherwise perfect, unbruised armor, all the bravado and masculine po
sturing he did to act like the big tough man around here. She wanted to play around with that hair, mess it up some more, and get to know the body that it was attached to. She wanted to learn all of his curves and edges, all of his flaws, all of his bumps and rough spots and sensitive areas. Could she do that, and still remain at a safe enough distance? Could she lose control with Pax without losing control over herself?
Chapter Eleven
Arnold
Arnold woke up around two in the morning to 18 text messages waiting for him on his phone. All of them were from Gary. Fuck, Arnold thought as he rolled away from Macie and put his feet on the ground next to his bed, sighing deeply as he began to scroll through the various messages Gary had sent during the night. “Anything on the Gorge?” “New info?” “Did you talk to Macie about Jessica?” “What’s up with that Pax guy?” “Have you seen Jessica recently?”
“Will check in with Jessica today and get back to you,” Arnold typed out before sending the message to Gary, who was probably still up late at Sully’s. The Nightwalkers’ leader had become a little obsessive recently, sending various agents over to the nicer part of town, trying to expand their territory further out. On one hand, Arnold understood why. It wasn’t like the Eagles from the next town over were sitting on their laurels, resting pretty and giving them plenty of time to protect this town from any invaders. There was real, urgent need to expand, and fast. But in the process, Gary was freaking out a lot of the junior recruits, the young guys who’d just signed up to have an excuse to ride bikes and drink all day. They weren’t made of tough enough stuff to last, and Gary was going to be pissed when he had to resupply his ranks with fresh blood.
