Nicky
The subtle scent of Mel’s lavender, lemony shampoo surrounded me, and I hugged her closer, my cock swelling.
Damn pillow, I grumbled to myself as the fluffy down squished against my chest. I cracked an eyelid open to find the clock reading almost two thirty.
I’d spent the night in the ER by Suzie’s side, my heart torn. Suzie had been in and out, half-asleep and groggy as hell. As her next of kin, I’d taken charge and lined up the best care available for her, including a nice long stay at a nearby rehab clinic once she detoxed.
Thankful didn’t begin to explain how I felt over the fact the drugs Suzie shot up hadn’t taken her life. Losing my sister and my niece within a few weeks of each other from the same fucking drugs my old brothers dealt would have done me in.
I should have asked Mel to go to the hospital with me, I thought again while squeezing her pillow and breathing her in. I had missed her every second while sitting on that damn hard-backed chair, beeps and murmurings of others in the ER filling my ears.
She wouldn’t want to deal with my personal shit, though.
Rolling onto my back, I released Mel’s pillow and stretched. I considered getting out of bed and showering, but I couldn’t bring myself to move from the soft, sweet-smelling mattress beneath me.
The door leading down to the bar squeaked open, and I listened as Mel moved around the kitchen. Brewing coffee, I noted with appreciation as the scent filtered into the bedroom a few minutes later.
She peeked her head in the cracked-open doorway. “You’re awake.”
I motioned her over. “Somewhat.”
The mattress beside me dipped as she sat, her shuttered eyes and body language telling me something was on her mind.
I lifted a hand to brush long strands of her hair over her shoulder. “What’s wrong?”
She shrugged. “I don’t want to bother you with my emotional shit when you’ve got so much going on.”
“Emotional shit, huh?”
With a nod, she glanced away.
Gaze narrowed, I captured her around the waist and pulled her down on top of me. “I missed you yesterday,” I said against the shell of her ear.
“You did?” Her voice caught as I sucked her lobe between my lips.
“I wanted you with me, but figured you couldn’t be stuck at the hospital all night with me.”
Mel pulled back and peered down at me, tears coating her eyes. “I thought you didn’t want me there.”
“Well, I did.”
“I told Kelly to shut down after the dinner rush slowed when she’d called us on top of the mountain.”
“I didn’t hear you tell her that, or I would have gone straight to the hospital.”
Her small smile flooded me with happiness, and she lay down on my chest again with a sigh.
I held her close, my lips against her hair. “Suzie’s going to go through a detox program, then I’m shipping her off to rehab. I want you to go with me when I take her.”
“How do you think Suzie will feel about that?”
“I don’t give a shit. If I’m in her life—and I am—then so are you. Besides, I’m paying for it.”
“You’re a good man, Dominic Landon.”
I snorted. “Hardly.”
Mel nuzzled her face against my chest, her lips trailing wet kisses in a senseless pattern and hardening my cock between the warmth of her thighs.
“Is the new girl on the clock?”
She lifted her head and ran her thumb over my lower lip. “Yes.”
“Take off your jeans,” I said, lifting her off me and pushing the sheet covering me past my waist. My cock sprang up, drawing her attention. I palmed myself, slowly jerking while she scurried to get every stitch of her clothing off.
She started to climb on the bed, but I grabbed her hips. “Sit on my face. I want to taste your sweet pussy.”
Pupils huge, she bit on the inside of her lip and crawled over me.
Settling her thighs on either side of my head put her wet pussy directly above me, and I yanked her down onto my face, shoving my tongue deep into her. With a moan, she wiggled her hips, and I ate her out like a starving man, lapping, burying my nose in her tangy sweetness, nibbling and sucking until she panted.
“Now ride me, little girl,” I growled, pushing her down over my chest. “Take what you need.”
Mel slid the rest of the way down my body, leaving a smear of her arousal across my skin. Her pussy lips slickened down over my cock, and the second she lined up with the throbbing head, I shoved in with one thrust.
A shudder rippled through both of us, and Mel bit down on her lower lip as I pushed her up to sit on me. My hands full of her breasts, I rolled her nipples and held still as she gyrated her hips.
Emotion flooded over her face, pupils dominating the whiskey color of her eyes. A small smile lifted her lips as she began rocking along my length, her wetness coating my pelvis.
“You love my hard cock, don’t you?” I asked, pinching her nipples. “Shoved all up that tight little pussy of yours.”
She gasped. “God, yes.”
I thrust as she took me deep, drawing another gasp from her. “You’re the only one I want riding me. Ever.” She leaned down over me, and I grabbed her hips, holding her still as my balls tightened to the point of pain. “I love you, Mel,” I whispered, my attention locked on her face.
Tears filled her eyes again. “I love you, too, Nicky. So damn much it hurts.”
And I thought happiness had found me before. Fucking unbridled joy rolled over me, and I leaned up to capture her mouth, taking control. I pumped in and out of her soaked pussy, her moans spurring me on faster.
“I’m going to fill you with my cum so you’ll never forget you’re mine,” I said, so fucking close stars darted my vision.
“Yes!” Mel arched her back, thrusting her breasts at me as her pussy clamped down on my length.
With a shout, I gave over and fucked her with everything I had, my balls exploding spurt after spurt deep inside of her tightness.
Arms clenched around her, I held on as her pussy milked every drop from me and we stilled, chests heaving for air.
Strands of her hair clung to my damp face, and I closed my eyes, soaking in the happiness she’d brought to my life. “You’re it for me, Mel.” I squeezed her tight. “If I can’t have you in my life, if you aren’t my future, then I might as well curl up and die because that’s where I was headed before I found you.”
A sigh whispered past her lips against my ear. “I knew you belonged to me the second I laid eyes on you,” she said.
I fucking grinned like a fool. “Does that mean I get to keep the apartment key you gave me?”
Mel lifted her head and touched her fingertips to my smiling lips. “Yes.”
I flicked my tongue along the pad of her middle finger. “You’re mine forever, Mel.”
“Yes,” she whispered again, filling up every piece of my soul with her light.
