“Those women who hang out at our bar know they will be protected and that no means no.”

“That doesn’t make sense at all. They just open their legs for every man.”

“They are still women.” I defend them.

“Whatever. Come on, Marnie, you want to come? Maybe Harley will babysit so you can have some fun.”

I turn and see Marnie standing there watching. My brother is holding Oly in one arm and has his other around Marnie. She’s trying to pull away, but he won’t let her go. I’m shocked, but then Crue pulls me into him.

“I want you to leave Harlowe and Marnie alone. No going to the bakery. No bothering them again. You’re done,” Crue growls.

“You can’t tell me what to do.” Jerry tries to stand up to him as his buddies walk up.

“Yeah, I can. But I’m not the one who’s going to give the order.” Crue points to Rylan.

“No, I will. You see, we don’t like assholes who beat the shit out of women who say no. Bet your friends don’t know that about you.”

The guys who were standing around Jerry hold their hands up and back away.

My head is swimming with everything I just heard. Jerry beat up a girl?

“I didn’t do that. I don’t know what you’re talking about. You got the wrong guy.”

“Do I?” Rylan asks as Crue pushes me behind him. Rylan signals the guys to join us.

“Jerry, right?” Crue acts like he doesn’t know his name when I know he does. “These are my friends. They want to talk to you.”

Jerry holds up his hands in defense and backs off. “No thanks. You have the wrong guy. If I did something like that, the police would be here, not you guys.”

Icarus stops him with a firm hand on his shoulder. I’m not sure what is going to happen, but I don’t like how Jerry talked about the girls at the bar, and I don’t like that he would have hurt someone.

“If we have the wrong person, where were you last night?” Crue asks him, and I watch the color drain from Jerry’s face.

“That’s what I thought.” Icarus says. “She’s alive, by the way, and my friends and I will make sure she stays that way.

As for the police, be lucky they didn’t get you, because we’ll get you even if you’re behind bars.

” He smiles darkly before turning to GB, who grabs Jerry and walks him off, despite his continued protests.

“Now, as for you two ladies,” my brother starts.

“I’ve got this one. We are done. You’ve had enough time,” Crue says.

“I have,” I agree. “See you later.” I’m thrown over Crue’s shoulder and he heads for my truck.

“Wait! We came with her,” Marnie starts to protest.

“I got you, babe,” Rylan says and holds up his hand. Icarus tosses his keys to him, and I watch as my brother and his guys clean up our beach party.

I’m tossed into the passenger seat of my truck, and the door is slammed before I can ask him where he’s taking me and why we are leaving.

I look around and see that GB and Jerry are gone.

“But Olympia’s car seat?” Marnie yells. Again, my brother says something to her, and she nods.

I look over as the back door is opened on the driver’s side and Fezzik jumps in. Crue climbs into the driver’s seat. He leans over me and pulls the seat belt. His hands brush my nearly naked body as he buckles me in.

“You wore this to test me, didn’t you, Starlight?”

I can’t deny that was my original thoughts, but now I’m going to deny it because I don’t want him to know he gets to me.

Aftershock

I watch her eyes and know she’s going to lie.

She can’t lie to me, no matter how hard she tries.

When I got the picture of her in this bikini with the extra strings around her back and the gold rings, I was done.

I’ve been really trying to let her and her brother have more time after he begged me for it and asked me to make sure she really wanted to give her virginity to me.

I hated every time I didn’t do more than kiss her.

I’ve been hard as stone for weeks while I waited for her.

I knew she was frustrated, but she hadn’t begged me or pushed me until today with this bikini.

I dropped everything I was doing and jumped on my motorcycle.

Kodiak told me when we pulled up, he would have someone take care of my bike.

Same with his, because I know he’s not leaving that beach without Marnie and Oly in his hands.

The moment he saw her in the pictures and I told him who she was, he only said one word.

“Mine.”

I looked at him and pointed at his sister. “Mine.”

“Yep.” That’s all he said as we drove from the Mat Su Regional Hospital where Jerry’s victim was being treated. She’s going to be medevacked to Providence in Anchorage to see more specialists because of all the damage he did when he beat her. Gunny is sitting with her, making sure she’s safe.

“I’m not going to your house for you to just kiss me and leave.” Harlowe’s sassy tone breaks me from my thoughts.

I reach across the console and grip her thigh gently in my hand. “Oh, baby, we are past the kissing stage. You are going to choke on my aching cock before I eat your pussy and make you come so many times you’ll beg me to take you. I'm tired of waiting.”

She grabs my hand and pulls it to her core. “I’m tired of you putting the brakes on us too. Fuck my brother.”

“Nope, he isn’t my type, but maybe Marnie is his.” I chuckle as we finally pull into my yard.

I let Fezzik out before I round the truck to the passenger side. I throw her over my shoulder again, and this time I can’t stop my fingers from slipping under the edge of her bikini bottoms. She is soaked, and I slide my fingers through her nether lips.

She moans as she grips the back of my jeans and presses herself into my hand more.

I stomp through the foyer and great room, then kick open the double doors to my room.

I turn and close and lock them both with one hand.

No one will disturb us. My dad is out back, talking with the new architect he hired to design his place.

Fezzik will be okay with him. I slide my girl down my body and push her down to her knees.

Harlowe looks up at me with those sexy eyes of hers before she reaches out and unbuckles my belt.

I look down my body as she pulls my cock out of my boxer briefs.

She rubs her hand up and down the length, and my head drops back on my shoulders.

Her tongue slides up my cock to the head.

When her soft lips wrap around it, I almost lose it right then.

It’s been so long since it’s been encased in soft warmth other than my own hand.

She works my cock as far she can into her mouth before gagging. She uses her hand to slide along the base the rest of the way and up to her mouth.

“Fuck, Starlight, that feels so good. Are you getting wet for me?”

She moans around my cock, and the vibration causes a spurt of cum to release, and she moans again.

“Baby, it’s been so long, I’m going to come if you don’t stop doing that.”

She pulls back and off my cock. “What do you mean so long?”

“I’m not a virgin, but it’s been over five years since I’ve had sex.”

She kisses the tip of my cock before sliding it back into her mouth.

She doubles down and starts tightening her hand and sucking in her cheeks as she sucks me off.

When she takes my balls in her hands and rolls them around her fingers, I grab onto her head and start moving in and out of her mouth, giving her more and more of my cock each time until she’s swallowing my head down her throat.

I come so hard my toes curl. I hold her firm, making sure she takes all my cum down before I let her go. She licks her lips, and I’m hard again.

Reaching down, I lift Harlowe up and toss her to the bed. She lands with a giggle, and then I strip out of my clothes. Pulling my knife out of its sheath on my belt, I stand naked at the foot of the bed. I reach down and cut the sides of the bikini off her.

“What are you doing? Do you know how much this cost me?”

I flip her over onto her belly and then cut all the straps. Before flipping her back, I smack her tattoo.

“Yeah, I can imagine. But you and I both know you don’t have to worry about money. I’ll replace it with something or not. You aren’t wearing this again, and the next bikini you’ll wear, I’ll be with you.”

I set the knife on the nightstand, then drop to my knees at the edge of the bed.

I pull her to me and bury my face in her sweetness.

The taste of sweet cherries and her bursts on my tongue, and I’m a mad man.

I’ve missed her every day since the last time I tasted her like this.

I eat her out until she’s screaming and comes.

But I don’t stop. I continue taking her higher and higher, doing exactly what I said I would do.

She’s going to beg for me. She’s going to know that from this moment on, she’s mine in every way possible.

Her body, soul, and heart are all mine. No more holding back.

No more living with her brother. She’s mine.

After her second orgasm, I look up her body and reach up to play with her nipples, knowing that will set her off again. I found that out the last time I had her under me. Her nipples are extremely sensitive. Harlowe’s back bows off the bed, and she screams long and loud.

“Please, Crue. Please. I need you inside me,” she begs, and my mouth splits into a grin.

I knew she’d break, but I didn’t expect her to go so easily. I figured it would take longer, but it appears my girl is as desperate for me as I am for her.

I nuzzle her leg and wipe my face on her. “You know if I take you, I’m never letting you go. You’re all mine.”

“I want to be with you too. Please just make the ache go away.”

I’ll never deny her, so I stand and position my cock at her entrance.

“Harlowe, you won’t just be with me,” I say, and her eyebrows lift in confusion. “You’ll be my everything. You’ll be my wife. The mother of my children. My old lady. Everything.”

“Ye—”

“Baby, wait.” I stop her. I need her to respond from her heart, not her desire to have my cock. “Do you know why I haven’t had sex in over five years?”

She shakes her head.

“Because I saw you when you were eighteen, and I knew I didn’t want any woman but you. Do you understand? I love you. I’ve loved you since before it was okay to love you.” I slide my cock through her wet folds.

Her neck arches, and she moans. “I’ve loved you my whole life, Crue. It’s only ever been you. I never dated or even thought of other men because it was always you. I cared for you as a young girl, but now as a woman, I love you. I want all that too.”

I slowly push inside her body, making her mine.

She tightens around me, but I continue to push as I circle my finger around her clit, keeping her mind off the pain and the stretch from taking me.

Finally, I’m all the way in, and I swear I can feel her cervix at the tip of my cock.

She’s so hot, wet. I feel everything. That’s when I realize what I’ve done.

I took her without a condom.

The thought repeats in my head, and I look down at her body. She’s mine. Told me she loved me. I confessed my love. She’ll have my name soon enough.

I pull out and slide back in. After a couple more long, slow slides of my cock, I need her harder and faster.

“More,” Harlowe begs. “Give me more, Crue. Give me all of you.”

“Fuck,” I roar as I pull out and take her hard.

I slam back into her body. She screams, and I do it again, over and over.

I pull out and flip her over, position her on her knees, and press her chest into the mattress.

When I slide in this time, it’s smooth and deep.

She rears up, and I grab her braids, holding her neck in an arch, as I slam in and out of her, taking her hard.

She’s going to feel me later, maybe even tomorrow.

I don’t care. The caveman inside me wants every man to know she’s mine.

I take her again and again, and she screams as she comes hard, coating my cock in her essence.

I look down to where we are joined, and it’s almost too much.

I pull out again and flip her to her back.

I’m on her before she can protest, sliding back into her heat, deep and hard.

Pulling her leg up over my arm, I open her up and take her even deeper.

“Yes, Crue. Yes. There.” She’s climbing up again, and I feel her throbbing around my cock.

I don’t stop. I drop over her body so that I’m all over her. Her breasts press into my chest, and I’m getting close. I need her to go over again before I do. I release her leg and drop onto my elbows. Holding her head, I lean down to her lips.

“I love you, Starlight,” I tell her before taking her lips deep and hard, just like my cock is taking her pussy.

We kiss for a few moments before she pulls back and moans long and loud, coming hard. Her body is pulling my cum from my cock. I slam into her, going deep and come hard.

“I’ll always take care of you,” I tell her before I press my forehead to hers and try to come back to myself.

I roll us so that she flops onto my chest and my arms lock around her, holding her tight against my body.
