We immediately slam into the meaty torso of one man as two others step out of the shadows and make a grab for Aria. She yelps, automatically bending down to make herself smaller and trying to avoid those swinging arms.

I’ve got to make each shot count.

The first man’s fist hits the side of my head and sends stars dancing in front of my eyes. I fire a round into his gut. He curls forward, dropping on his side, clutching the wound. The two other guys are close, close enough for me to risk shooting Aria instead of my target and their limbs merging together.

Gritting my teeth, I duck and turn on my heel, pulling the trigger and taking one of the men in the side of the neck. He clasps the area with his eyes going wide before he crumbles to the ground alongside the first. The third man gets off a shot that misses the side of my head by inches, but it’s close enough for me to feel the heat of the bullet.

Aria crouches behind my legs to keep herself protected, and I make myself larger than usual, becoming the target yet again. Firing off another shot at the one man and missing him as the other slams his fist into my gut.

Only a few bullets left.

The last one shoves his shoulder into me, and I slam back against the brick, the hit knocking the breath out of me. Aria yelps, and I blink through a haze to see the man with his hands fisted in the hair at the top of her head, dragging her up from the ground, her hand knocked aside.

“Don’t you fucking touch her!”

Once I’m sure of a shot, I send it into his chest, blood splattering everywhere.

The world is deadly silent in the aftermath of the shot, not even my pulse thundering in my ears when the man goes down. The last of them until it’s only two of us in the alley and the corpses behind us.

I reach down for Aria and stash my gun in my holster in the same smooth movement, chest heaving. “Are you okay?”

“They found us,” she says with a whimper. “They knew we were here, and we almost died.”

“We’re alive, baby.” I run my hands over her white face, down the sides of her neck, and along her shoulders. Checking for what, I’m not sure. The only blood on her comes from the asshole on the ground. “We’re fine.”

“There you go using that word again.” Instead of shaking, she lifts her face to mine, moon pale but her eyes alive.

Her mouth latches on to mine a heartbeat later, and she's clinging to me. My arms loop around her waist and drag her close, adrenaline coursing through my body. From her into me. Fuck the source.

She breaks away only to reach between us for my fly. “I want you,” she whispers. “Right now. Here. Please. I need you, Devan.”

How am I going to say no to this beautiful creature? With my systems on high alert and the rest of me alive, my willpower is shot. I give in to her almost too easily and turn her around to face the wall. I grab her wrists and press both hands on the bricks ahead of her, glancing at the street only to make sure the dumpster hides us and the bodies from view.

“Quickly,” I urge, dragging her pants down and nudging her legs apart.

I don’t have a condom.

Screw the condom right now.

My chest tightens, the rest of me already hard and aching to be buried inside of her.

The zipper is caught, and I wrench it south before whipping my dick out of the slit in the front of my boxers. I position myself behind her with one hand braced on her hip and the other angling the head of me against her already wet core. One thrust, and I’m inside. Her pussy tightens around me, clenching around me and drawing me deeper still until I’m seated to the hilt.

The blood on my skin is drying in the cold, and I’m a million miles away, lost in her and the sensations, lost in her scent and the keening moans she lets loose.

She arches against me, her ass out and her legs splayed, and the friction just enough to tell me this isn’t going to last long.

Life goes on in the streets, the kids safe and the corpses cooling as I fuck Aria in the alleyway. I lose myself between the cars honking and my own grunting, sliding in and out of her pussy as if it’s my job.

High on adrenaline, there’s only her, this moment, and momentum building. I drive into her until she’s forced to use the wall to keep her steady, the two of us pounding away a perfectly rough rhythm.

“You’re so tight.”

She looks over her shoulder at me, licking her lips, her eyes dark and hooded. “More,” she demands. “Give me everything.”

I don’t hold back and slam into her. Repeatedly until the rest of our words disappear. My dick twitches inside of her, balls tightening with the impending orgasm. Before I have a chance to blow, I reach around her waist and down, the tip of my index finger finding her clit.

Not without her.
