Oliver

M aeve pulled me through the crowd, down toward the harbor. The streets were lit up, and propane heaters had been spaced at intervals to ward off the autumnal chill.

But I could barely stay focused since most of the blood had left my brain. She wanted to have sex in public. It was on her list. And the fire in her eyes told me it was happening and happening soon.

“Over here.”

Maeve pulled me into a narrow alley between old brick buildings.

It was so tight we had to walk single file as she pulled me by the arm.

Once we reached the back, Maeve pulled me onto the fire escape, and we climbed and climbed toward the roof.

Even though she was wearing a wool coat, the sight of her ass climbing the steep steps set me on edge. Fuck, I needed her.

We reached the roof, which was flat and surrounded by a thick brick wall. There were chairs and some flower beds. “Where are we?” I asked, looking around confused.

She winked at me. “My aunt owns this building. I worked at the bookstore in high school and used to come up here a lot. The other floors are apartments. But this roof has the walls, which kind of hides things and looks out at the whole town. I know Sylvie and her friends used to come up here to drink in high school because it was impossible to be seen up here.”

I took a step closer. “So why did you bring me up here, Maeve?” I feigned innocence, trying to control myself.

She pursed her lips and tapped her chin. “Hm…can’t remember, big guy. Sorry!”

I stalked toward her and pulled her close, tipping her chin up. “You want to be bad, don’t you?”

She nodded.

“Tell me, Maeve. Tell me what you want.”

“I want you to fuck me while the whole town is down there. I want to feel the cold air and see the stars while you’re inside me.”

I ran my hands through my hair. Jesus, this woman was going to kill me. I kissed her and gave her ass a hard squeeze. “I’ll make you come, sweetheart. Don’t worry.”

Our kisses were frantic and hurried as we pawed at each other through our layers of clothes. I loved this side of her, untamed and wild. It brought out something in me as well. Something I had been hiding away for so long.

I pushed my hands into her leggings, knowing I would find her wet and ready, but froze when I realized she wasn’t wearing any panties.

“You are a bad girl,” I growled into her ear as she arched against me. “No panties?”

“I planned this. I knew I wanted you up here.”

Just the thought of her planning this out, making the choice to step out of her comfort zone with me, almost sent me over the edge.

Suddenly I couldn’t wait another minute. I turned her around to face the festival below, anchoring her arms on the brick wall, and pulled her leggings down, exposing the ass I loved so much.

“Spread your legs,” I growled.

“Yes, Officer,” she purred, smiling at me over her shoulder.

I unzipped my jeans, freeing my rock-hard cock and taking a moment to appreciate the incredible woman in front of me.

“I hope you’re ready for me. Because I can’t wait another minute.”

I thrust inside her hard, reveling in the feel of her wrapped around me.

“I love it when you’re bad,” I say, gently wrapping one hand around her neck, showing her I possessed her as much as she possessed me.

She threw her head back and gasped. “I’m only bad for you.”

Those words were almost my undoing, as I struggled to regain control. It was just too much—the cold air, her incredible body, and the knowledge that she was mine. Not to mention the naughty excitement of being in public. If I didn’t get a hold of myself, this would end soon.

I focused on her, her ragged breathing, the intoxicating scent of her hair. And I moved my hand down, finding her throbbing clit, hoping that I could make her feel half of what I was feeling right now.

“Yes,” she moaned, grinding against my hand. I felt her tighten as my thrusts sped up, becoming erratic and overwhelming. “Yes, Oliver. This is better than my fantasy.”

And as we both came undone, the entire town below us, I couldn’t help but think Maeve was better than any fantasy I had ever had.
