My body was racked with sobs, and I could barely breathe through my tears. Zed came over and sat close to me, wrapping his arms around me and holding me tight. I kept crying and crying, unable to make myself stop no matter how secure he was making me feel. I closed my eyes tight and buried my face in his chest. Zed wrapped his arms around me and stroked my back.
“Are you gonna be okay?” he whispered in my ear, nuzzling me softly.
I didn’t know if it was the fact I was already upset or the fact that it had been weeks since we’d touched, but between my legs started to grow warm and tingly. I swallowed hard, feeling confused by the flood of emotion in my body. Part of me wanted to keep sobbing on Zed’s shirt, and the other part of me wanted him to carry me back to my bedroom and rip my dress off.
“I’ll be fine,” I said through sniffles. Zed exhaled and put a hand under my chin. He tilted my face up, so I was looking right at him. “What?” I asked softly.
Zed bit his lower lip. “Lily,” he said in a gruff voice. “I really am sorry about this. More than you know. No matter what happens, I promise I’ll always keep you safe.”
A hot tear squeezed out of my eye and rolled down my cheek. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” I muttered. “You don’t have to keep me safe, Zed.”
“Yes, I do,” Zed growled out in return. He leaned in close, and I smelt a hint of beer and tobacco on his breath. It was like the return of an old friend, and I closed my eyes in happiness. I closed my eyes and leaned my forehead against his.
“I’ve missed you,” I admitted in a soft voice without opening my eyes.
Zed sighed. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to his chest. Through my thin dress, I felt his heart beating. I closed my eyes and tilted my face up for a kiss. When our lips touched, it was like they’d never been apart.
Zed kissed me with urgency. He slipped his tongue between my lips and caressed my own with his. I moaned into his mouth, and Zed grunted and picked me up. Without breaking our kiss, he set me back down on his lap and pressed into my back with his hands.
The itchy material of my dress scratched against my skin and made me squirm. Zed grunted softly and pulled the hemline up, spreading my legs on his lap and wrapping them around his torso. I felt his muscular body pressing against the sensitive spot between my legs, and a wave of desire pushed through me. I groaned softly as Zed’s hands slid down to my ass and squeezed each cheek.
“I missed you, too,” Zed whispered in my ear when we broke apart. “But don’t tell anyone or I’ll have to do some awful things to you.”
Shivers ran through my body when he said “awful things.” I looked up at him with a blush on my face.
“Don’t be too awful,” I teased. “I might not survive to tell the story.”
Zed growled. “I’ll do anything I want. And you’ll still enjoy it, Lily. I know you always like what I do to you. You love it, Lily.”
Zed buried a hand in my hair and yanked my head back, so we were gazing into each other’s eyes. His bright green orbs penetrated my whole body, and I felt as though I couldn’t move. I bit my lip, unable to speak. Everything Zed had said to me was the truth. I loved everything he did, I loved every way that he touched me. I could never manage to think about it afterward, but he knew how to turn me on like no other. With a smirk, I thought about how Mark’s touch would have left me limp. This dress would have been wasted on him.
As if reading my mind, Zed nuzzled my shoulder. “No one can please you like me,” he growled out in a low voice. “No one can make you come like I can, Lily,” he murmured into my body. “You’re all mine, forever.”
I shivered as Zed’s hands slid over my body. “I know,” I whispered. My own pleas sounded weak in comparison. “I’m yours,” I told him. “And I think you know that.”
Zed growled in response. He leaned forward and kissed me savagely, parting my lips with his tongue and shoving it in my mouth. I melted against him and moaned. Zed reached around my back and ripped my dress apart with a practiced hand. The tearing of the fabric sounded incredibly loud and desire pulsed between my legs as I realized soon I’d be naked on Zed’s lap.
With careful hands, he tugged the shreds of fabric away from my skin and tossed them on the floor. The air inside was chilly, and my flesh was instantly pimpled all over. The rough material of Zed’s shirt scratched against my nipples and sent a whole new frenzy of pleasure through my body.
I was clad in only panties and a stick-on strapless bra as Zed moved his hands down my chest. When he felt the gummy material covering my breasts, he frowned. “What is this?”
I laughed nervously. “It’s for performing. It’s so a bra doesn’t show under my dress.”
Zed ripped it off, and I cried out in pain. He cupped my breasts in his rough hands and massaged the nipples until I was howling with pleasure on his lap. When I looked down, my skin was bright red from the force of him removing my bra.
“I like you better like this,” Zed informed me. I could only whimper in response as he caressed my most sensitive areas. “You’re more vulnerable.”
Between my legs, my pussy was throbbing underneath my thin cotton panties. Eagerly, I squirmed and shifted on Zed’s lap, desperate for some pleasure or release. Zed sat still and watched me. His green eyes were blazing with desire, and I shivered when I imagined the final moment of our lovemaking.
Zed shifted, and I slid further down into his lap. His belt buckle rubbed against the crotch of my panties, making me gasp. At my reaction, Zed let out a deep chuckle. He grabbed my knees and pushed his hips against my crotch. Pleasure radiated through my body in hot waves, and I closed my eyes, feeling sweat bead on my forehead.
Zed growled under his breath and leaned forward. I felt his teeth nip at my neck and I shuddered with a loud groan. Between my legs was pulsing and hot. Zed picked me up with one hand and lifted me off his lap, so I was standing in front of him. I felt even more exposed since he was fully dressed; my thin panties were soaked with my arousal, and I wiggled, feeling the material slide against my sensitive skin.
Zed looked at me and licked his lips. “You’re perfect,” he said under his breath. “You’re a fucking angel, Lily.”
I blushed. “I’m not,” I said quietly.
Zed shook his head and held his finger up to my lips. Slowly, he traced it down my neck and over my collarbone. When he got to my breasts, he circled my nipples with his index finger until I was moaning in pleasure. A hot blush spread up my neck and over my cheeks and forehead as he teased me relentlessly.
Just when I was about to cry out in agony, Zed stood up and walked into the kitchen. I heard the freezer door opening and then slam shut. When Zed returned, he was carrying an ice tray. My heart started to pound even faster, and I shook my head from side to side. Zed gave me a wicked grin and cracked the tray in his hands.
Cubes of ice jumped to the floor; one landed on my foot, and I shivered at the cold sensation on my hot skin. Zed reached down and grabbed a couple of the ice cubes. He held his hand out close to my face and caressed my cheek with the frozen cube. I shivered instinctively; it was cold, but it felt amazing against my overheated skin.
Zed grinned as he slipped two of his fingers with an ice cube into my mouth. “Suck,” he commanded. “Show me what a good little girl you are.”
Blushing furiously, I locked eyes with Zed and began to suck and lick his fingers. He bit his lip and groaned in pleasure as I flicked my tongue over the rough skin and smooth ice. Zed’s hands were so big that my jaw was straining almost immediately, but I kept sucking, pulling his fingers so far into my mouth that I was almost gagging.
Drips of water and saliva ran down my chin, and Zed gently wiped them away with his free hand before pulling his fingers out of my mouth. He tossed the almost-melted ice cube on the carpet and grabbed a fresh one out of the tray. Without removing his eyes from me, Zed reached out and stroked the cube down my neck.
I shuddered at the sensation; unlike on my face, I felt goosebumps where the ice touched my skin. Zed slowly stroked his hand down my torso and wiped my breasts with the ice. I moaned loudly, and Zed grinned. He reached over with his free hand and squeezed one of my breasts. His other hand was remarkably warm, and I purred as the hot and cold sensations rocked my whole world.
He slipped the ice cube over my nipple and traced a torturous circle around the areola. My nipple puckered and stood out painfully hard. Zed removed the ice and leaned close to my body. When he was only a few inches away from my bare skin, he gently blew. His warm breath felt amazing, and I shivered as my skin began to thaw.
Zed grinned at me and slipped the ice cube down my belly. He traced a little wet circle around my belly button, and I shivered again. When he got to my panties, he looked up at me with his green eyes blazing.
I bit my lip, unsure of what he was going to do. Zed slipped a finger inside the waistband of my panties and tugged them down just a bit. He reached forward and poked at the little tuft of pubic hair that poked out. I blushed and looked up at the ceiling, but a sharp tweak to one of my nipples made me cry out and look back down at Zed.
“You keep your eyes on me,” he instructed. “You don’t ever look away from me, or I’ll punish you.”
I nodded solemnly, feeling a warm gush of arousal between my legs. Zed licked his lips and leaned closer. Before I knew what he was doing, he slipped the cube of ice into my panties. The cold sensation against my pussy shocked me; I cried out and wriggled, trying to move the ice cube away from my clit.
Zed grinned and stuck his finger out, tracing damp circles on the cotton. I felt the ice melting but the water was incredibly cold, and I began to plead with him to touch me.
“Spread your legs,” Zed commanded. “And if you let the ice out of your panties, you’ll regret it.”
I murmured obedience and gracefully tried to widen my stance. As I did, the ice cube shifted. Cold water leaked through my panties and streamed down my leg. The sensation felt remarkably like I had pissed myself and I blushed a furious crimson red. Zed’s grin widened, and he growled at me.
“More ice,” he commanded. “It melted too fast that time.”
“No,” I begged. “Please. Please, Zed. Please fuck me right now!”
Zed shook his head. He reached into the ice tray and pulled out two big cubes, slipping them into the crotch of my panties. Even though my skin felt frozen, to begin with, the new addition of more ice was almost painful. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I thrust my hips forward in an attempt to get the ice away from my sensitive pussy. Soon, the two cubes began to melt, and I felt their hard edges soften inside my panties. Every time I moved or wriggled, the wet fabric brushed against my clit and made me pulse with desire.
Zed got to his hands and knees and crawled between my spread legs. When he kneeled on the carpet, his face was eye-level with my pussy. Licking his lips, he leaned forward and tongued my little strip of pubic hair. I shivered at the feel of his warm, rough tongue against my bare skin.
Zed reached up and planted his hands firmly on my ass cheeks. He gripped the flesh tightly between his fingers and wrenched them apart, so my labia was parted. I shrieked as the ice cubes slid down in my crotch and made contact with my exposed and swollen clit. Pleas and cries escaped my mouth and tears rolled down my cheek with the unexpectedly intense sensation.
With a growl, Zed nipped at the inside of my thigh. He licked some of the water that was dripping down the side of my leg and then placed his mouth over my crotch. Through my soaked panties, he began to suck and lick at me with his hot mouth. I felt the remnants of the ice melt almost instantly as he ravished my pussy with his tongue.
Moaning, I leaned down and rested my hands on his head. Zed tightened his grip on my ass and buried his face in my crotch, snuffling and licking and sucking with abandon. The sensation was incredibly intense, and soon I felt small shocks of pleasure in my crotch. I moaned Zed’s name loudly and threw my head back. My cries echoed off the ceiling and thin walls of my apartment.
Zed pulled away and yanked my sodden panties down with one hand. The lukewarm air of the room felt chilly against my wet skin. He slid his hands down my legs and grabbed my ankles, making me spread even farther. The muscles in my thighs ached almost at once, and I shuddered knowing that Zed could see every inch of my exposed pussy and ass.
He nipped at my labia, and I shrieked with pleasure. Without warning, he plunged one of his fat fingers inside of me. He began to pump it in and out of my pussy, and soon I felt my arousal dripping down onto his hand. My legs felt weak and shaky, and I moaned even louder, digging my fingers into Zed’s scalp.
He kept fingering me until I felt myself about to come. It was almost as if he knew when he yanked his fingers out and stuck him in his mouth, sucking the arousal from his hand.
Slowly, his fingers found their way back to my pussy and stroked my labia. I shivered as he inched his fingers towards me once more, but he kept going until he was stroking the soft spot of flesh between my pussy and my ass.
I shuddered, anticipating something truly awful, but when he began to gently rub his finger in circles over my ass, I was amazed at how it felt. Warm sensations began to move through my body again with his gentle touch. It wasn’t as intense as it felt when he rubbed my clit, but I was surprised to find myself gently moaning and yielding to his touch.
I felt my asshole pucker as he slipped a fingertip inside and wiggled it. The sensation was incredible, but the rest of my body was crying out for attention. Sweat beaded on my forehead as I struggled to stay upright, and I felt a trickle of perspiration making its way down my back.
Zed continued to gently flick my ass, then pulled his finger away. I felt his hot breath on my pussy, and I shivered, anticipating more of what he’d just been doing. Instead, he licked and bit the cheeks of my ass before moving closer and gently tonguing my asshole.
Pleasure flooded my body as he licked at my most private of areas, and a hot flush spread down over my torso. My thighs were shaking with the effort of holding the position, but Zed’s delicate flicks of the tongue were making me squeal and moan with pleasure. He slipped two fingers inside of my pussy with his free hand and began to thrust them in and out as he stuck his tongue deep inside my ass. Warm pleasure coiled in my belly and the second I felt his tongue stroke my clit, I knew I was going to explode. I cried out just as he pulled away, my orgasm snatched from me in an instant.
Zed got to his feet and wrapped his arms around me, then picked me up off the floor as if I weighed nothing. He carried me down the hallway and into my bedroom, kicking open the door so hard that it banged against the wall. Chunks of plaster fell from the ceiling and peppered the floor with white.
I closed my eyes as Zed threw my body down on the bed. My legs were still aching from having stood in that precarious position for so long, but it was a relief to be lying down. Still, every muscle in me pulsed with want for Zed and his hard cock. My nerves were twitching and on edge as I watched him strip off his shirt and toss it on the floor.
As before, my eyes flicked over the tattoos covering Zed’s chest. He unfastened his belt and stepped out of his pants. When he was clad only in boxers, he got on the bed and grabbed me. Zed pushed me closer to the wall and spread my legs, grabbing my ankles and pulling them wide apart.
He dove in between my legs with abandon, sucking and licking my clit until I was screaming. He kept building me and building me to orgasm and then ripping me away viciously at the last second before I could come. I felt the tears leaking out of my eyes as I screwed them shut and tilted my face to the ceiling, begging Zed for release.
Zed grabbed my hand and slid it down his rock-hard torso. His skin felt like it was carved out of marble, and despite my intense arousal, a whole new level of desire flooded my body as he traced my fingers down his body. He stopped with my hand just touching his thick erection through the boxers. When I opened my eyes and looked into Zed’s green orbs, he nodded for me to get up.
“You know what to do,” he growled out.
I nodded and crawled onto my hands and knees, tugging Zed’s boxers down. His massive, veiny erection sprang free, and I took the first couple of inches into my mouth, sucking and licking at the delicate spot under the head. Zed groaned and pushed his hips forward until his whole cock was filling my mouth.
My jaw ached from the strain of accommodating his massive cock, and I reached up to start stroking him up and down as I moved my head back and forth. Zed grunted and closed his eyes, tilting his head back to the ceiling. He leaned forward, and I had to crawl onto my knees so the force of his thrusts wouldn’t knock me over.
As much as my mouth hurt from pleasuring him, it was satisfying to know that I was making him feel good. I loved the way he writhed and moaned when his cock was in my mouth; it was like I was controlling his world. His cock was so fat that my hand couldn’t close around it and I started pumping my hand with the same rhythm as my mouth.
Finally, Zed groaned loudly and pushed me away. I fell over in a tangle of arms and limbs and landed on my ass, sprawled on my back. Zed slapped the inside of my thigh, and I eagerly spread my legs as far as I could. He leaned in close and inhaled the scent of my pussy, closing his eyes and savoring my smell. I blushed to see him so close and know that my smell was intoxicating to him.
When Zed opened his eyes, he crawled on top of me. He grabbed my wrists with one hand and pinned them over my head. I felt the delicate bones in my wrists grinding together as he straddled my hips and nudged my pussy with the head of his cock. I already felt my skin stretching and he wasn’t even inside of me yet!
“Do you want me, Lily?” Zed growled out.
I looked into his eyes and nodded. “Yes,” I managed to squeak. “I do.”
“How much do you want me?” Zed’s breathing was coming in sharp, hard bursts and I saw a shudder of desire move through his body.
“I want you so badly,” I whispered, making my voice low and sexy. “I want you to fuck me. I want you to wreck me, Zed. Take me and make me yours forever.”
Zed grabbed onto my hips and slid into me with incredible force. I screamed as his cock tore into my pussy and filled me completely. When he was all the way inside, he stopped moving. I felt his cock pulsing inside my body, and I bit my lip and looked into his eyes.
Slowly, Zed began to thrust in and out. He moved his hips slowly at first and then faster and faster until it became more serious for him. With every thrust, his pubic bone rubbed against my clit, and soon I became as aroused as I had been while Zed was licking my asshole.
Digging his fingers into my flesh, Zed flipped onto his back and brought me with him. His cock didn’t slip out of me as I adjusted myself on his lap. He wrapped his hands around my waist and began to move my body up and down, like a helpless doll bouncing on his cock.
My pussy was soaked with my arousal, and Zed’s cock slid in and out of me with ease. With a grin, he reached behind me and slipped his fingers between the cheeks of my ass.
“Spread yourself,” he commanded in a low gruff tone as he thrust harder and harder inside of me. “Spread your ass for me, baby.”
I reached behind me and took one cheek in each hand, spreading myself and exposing my asshole to Zed’s mercy. He stuck his finger in my mouth, and I eagerly licked and sucked it for a moment. When he pulled it out, he reached behind my back and traced it down the crack of my ass.
The wetness left a trail that made me shiver, even though the rest of my body was on fire. Without warning, Zed plunged his finger deep inside my ass. It was almost painful at first, and I yelped, not used to the sensation of being double penetrated. But after a few seconds, the discomfort melted into an amazing sense of pleasure.
I felt so full; I felt like I was literally going to burst, or that Zed was going to tear me apart. As I rode him faster and faster, Zed howled with pleasure. He pulled his finger in and out of my ass, and I felt the pleasure in my belly build and build until, finally, I was coming harder than I ever had before.
My breath came in hoarse sobs as I rode Zed’s massive cock. I felt the spasms in my pussy gripping him even tighter than before, and Zed gasped with the intensity of it all. He slid his finger out of my ass and grabbed ahold of my hips, forcing me to keep riding him through my savage orgasm. His cock twitched and pulsed, and I braced myself for his explosion inside of me.
“Lily!” Zed screamed. “Lily, I’m gonna fucking come inside of you!”
“Do it,” I hissed out, my own breath coming in damp bursts.
Zed screwed his eyes shut and groaned, thrusting up so hard that I felt him against my cervix. It was almost painful, and I whimpered, but it was beginning to make me feel like I could come again. As he pushed into me again and again, I closed my eyes and rode his body hard.
My clit felt like it was on fire as I forced myself to another rough orgasm on Zed’s pubic bone. The spasms in my pussy set him off, and his cock finally jerked and pulsed and gushed inside of me. Zed let out a deep breath and squeezed my ass once more before pulling me down onto his chest.
For a moment, we cuddled like that with his cock still inside of me. His chest was shining and hot with sweat, and I felt the damp tangles of my hair against my forehead as I lay down.
Without saying a word, Zed reached up and stroked the hair out of my eyes. He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. The room reeked of our lovemaking, if you could have called it that.
Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and tried to relax. I couldn’t believe Zed had played with my ass. I couldn’t believe that I’d actually liked it. Most unbelievable of all was the fact that we’d just fucked after starting to hate each other.
I swallowed hard when I thought about Zed leaving. I wondered if I’d ever see him again. I wondered what would happen when he finally chased down the boss and revealed that he knew about The Manticore. For what felt like the billionth time that night, tears came to my eyes. I hugged Zed firmer.
“Lily, what’s wrong? Are you crying? Did I hurt you?”
I shook my head, willing the tears to go away. They didn’t, and soon I was choking on little sobs. “I can’t help it,” I cried. “I’m sorry. I’m scared.”
Zed squeezed me to his chest and moved his body, so his still-hard cock slid out of me. He pulled a blanket off the end of the bed and covered our bodies. It was almost too warm, but after a few minutes, I felt myself cooling down. The sobs kept coming, and Zed kept holding me.
When my eyes were starting to dry, I rolled over onto my belly and propped myself up with my elbows. For once, I no longer felt self-conscious about being naked around Zed.
“I have to see you again,” I said quietly.
Zed narrowed his eyes. “And why is that? You want another round so soon?”
I shook my head and shivered. “I’m not going to be able to walk right for a week,” I pointed out. “Some great job of running away I’ll do if they come for me.”
The look Zed gave me told me that even if I was able to run, there’s no way I could outrun them. I swallowed. “Sorry,” I added. “Kidding.”
“So, what’s really going on?” Zed asked. “Tell me.”
“Well, for one thing.” I tried not to giggle. “You owe me a new dress.”
I expected Zed to scoff at me, but instead, his face turned almost tender. “Oh, Lily, come here.” He held out his arms, and I dove into them and let him hold me again. “I’ll keep you safe,” he whispered.
It was the last thing I remembered hearing before falling asleep.
