Chapter 20

ASHTON

Rose didn’t look as distressed as she did earlier throughout the day but there was a noticeable difference from usual. Some slight bags under her eyes like she was restless. Her gorgeous red locks were a little messier. It seemed to take her more effort to smile. But that smile was enough to make me do the same. It was just a reminder of why I’d do anything for her.

I stood in the silence of my room in the back of the clubhouse, the music from inside the bar in the distance. She sat off to the side, staring at me with the same anxiety she’d had this entire day.

“Where’d you go?” she asked.

She already knew the answer but I gave it to her anyway. “Grant and I had a conversation with Picardo. Had to let him know where we stand.”

“Then he knows…”

I nodded. “I’m not sure he believes me when I say I wasn’t in on it. Just a bad coincidence it was your brother that pulled that job. Considering he hasn’t killed me yet, I’d say he’s taking my word for it.”

“If he took your word, then there has to be a way out of this, a way to convince Picardo not to kill Joey.”

I shook my head. “Picardo wants your brother. What happened happened. There’s no changing it. He did mention though there was one way to let your brother get out of this alive. Something I could give him.”

“And what’s that?” She jumped out of her seat like there was a real chance out of this. I was almost reluctant to give tell her though I knew I couldn’t keep it from her.

“Me. Picardo said he’ll give me some time to think about it. It’s either me or your brother. Either one will do to make sure he maintains his reputation.”

The disappointment in her eyes hurt me more than anything. I took her hands in mine and kissed them but it wasn’t enough to make her pain go away.

“I can’t ask you to do that,” she said. “Not even for my brother.”

“I can’t let your brother just die for me.”

“What are you saying?” She gave me a confused look. “Are you seriously considering just handing yourself over to Picardo so my brother can get off? That’s not a solution—”

I put my hand to her cheek to calm her down. “It’s all right. I know exactly what I need to do. It’s the only thing I can do.”

“And what’s that?”

“Shh…” I leaned forward and pressed my lips to hers. I’d kissed her more times than I could count but damn it always felt as good as the first time. I pushed my tongue between her teeth, kissing her deeper and making her moan softly. I ran my hand along her dress and cupped her breast through the fabric. Just thought of her milky white tits underneath was enough to get me hard.

I pulled away so I could look into those emerald green eyes of hers. She stared at me, mouth open slightly and short of breath. “I don’t wanna think about anything else tonight. Not Picardo. Not your brother. Just share this moment with me, Rose.”

Her throat bobbed up and down as she swallowed. A slight nod was all I needed to keep going.

Our mouths found their way back on each other. My hands roamed toward the straps of her dress, pulling them down her arms and letting the fabric fall to the floor. Her bra and panties didn’t match but I didn’t give a shit. A few quick tugs and snaps and both of them were on the floor with her dress.

I led her over to my bed, pushing her down gently until she fell back on it. She spread her legs and pushed herself up. Her porcelain skin looked even more delicate underneath the moonlight. The freckles on her cheeks were barely noticeable. Her eyes were focused. Just a blank stare that told me everything.

The pink between her legs dripped more appetizing than anything else. My mouth watered at the sight of her slit. I kept my eyes locked on her body while I took my kutte off. I raised my shirt up over my head and kicked my jeans off. Then I crawled onto the bed, staring up at her while my tongue dripped with anticipation.

I pressed my mouth to her mound and she gasped. Her whole body bucked when I ran my tongue over her slit. Up and down. Up and down. I tasted the fluids dripping out of her then moved up to her already swollen clit. My lips squeezed softly around her, sucking on it and making her body twitch again.

My hands found her curves. Soft, pale skin in my grip beginning to sweat felt better than anything else on my palms. Feeling how much pleasure she was going through made me work my tongue on her even more.

“Ashton… You’re gonna make me…”

Her breath grew shorter. She writhed on my mattress like she wanted me to stop, almost as if she was trying to get away. I pushed forward, bringing her closer and tonguing her pussy until she was soaking.

“Ashton…”

She sounded more and more desperate. I worked my mouth furiously on her clit until she suddenly cried out. A feminine groan that had to force its way out of her throat filled my bedroom. I held her trembling body in my grip while she bucked her hips against my mouth. I kept my face against her, sucking and licking her through her orgasm.

Feeling Rose come just made my cock throb so much it’d be painful if I didn’t take care of it. I pulled my mouth away from her dripping folds and trailed kisses up her soft stomach, over her breasts, then gave her a taste of herself.

“Share this moment with me…” I whispered into her mouth. The heat from her folds made my cock twitch. “Be with me, Rose. You’re mine.”

“I’m yours.”

I took my place between her legs, using my knee to make sure she was nice and spread for me. My tip hit her wet folds and pushed into her. Her mouth dropped slightly, another moan stuck in her throat again as my cock disappeared inside of her. I gave her every damn inch, pushing until the base of my cock was pressing against her. Her tight pussy squeezed around me.

Motherfuckers would’ve teased me because I was already on the verge but I didn’t care. No man could take how good she felt.

I enjoyed it as quickly as I could, thrusting hard and deep. Her body shifted with every stroke. A whimper came out of her whenever I filled her up, her mouth hanging half open the entire time.

We grinded together on my mattress. Her pale, soft body, covered in sweat, rubbing against mine. Fingers intertwining with each other. Foreheads pressed together.

I stared into her eyes as my hips started to buck harder and harder.

“Ashton…” Her warm breath against my lips made me want her even more. Rose always had me begging for it but now I was the one desperate for her.

I could still hear the music outside in the bar. There were people out there enjoying themselves, having a good time. But this moment with Rose right now… We were the only ones who existed.

“Ashton…”

“I’m gonna fill you up.”

“Do it… Come inside of me… I want you…”

I gritted my teeth. Hard breaths through my nose were all I could get out. My lungs burned. My muscles tightened up. My balls swelled. My cock was throbbing so damn bad as I drove my shaft in and out of her with faster and faster thrusts. The bed squeaked so much I thought it would break but I didn’t care. Our bodies slammed against each other. The rhythmic clapping of our sweaty flesh hitting each other suddenly ended when I came.

And I came hard. I grunted as the first throb of cum came out of me. I kept my cock planted deep inside of her, letting the wetness fill her up. Every pulse of my cum felt just as satisfying as the last.

Rose groaned, tightening and milking me for every drop I had. She kept her fingers locked with mine as I pinned her hands up over her head. Her legs wrapped around the small of my back, keeping me close as I gave her everything.

I wanted to keep going but my body found its limit. The last spurt came out of me and I collapsed on top of her. Her soft, sweaty body underneath me was like resting on a cloud. Listening to her breathe the same rhythm as me was music.

I knew what I had to do though. This moment with Rose was just that. A moment. And I’d take it with me regardless of what happened.

I pushed myself up just enough to look down into her eyes. The worry hadn’t gone away but she was still smiling. That smile was all the reminder I needed to know what I had to do.

“Everything will be all right.” I kissed her softly on the forehead. “I promise.”
