“Jesus Christ,” I grit out, riding her ass hard with everything I am.
Sloppy, wet, smacking sounds fill the apartment, adding to the soundtrack of Gemma’s breathy moans and my feral grunts. I wrap my arms around her hips right as her knees give out. Holding her up, I rut into her like a man possessed, driving us higher and higher, my muscles burning as I tense and flex and fuck her savagely.
The desk shakes, pens, books, and papers falling and scattering around us, but I can’t stop. Sweat drips down my forehead, and my balls draw up tight, the sharp sting of ecstasy shooting through my body just as Gemma comes again. Her orgasm ignites mine. White-hot flames travel down my spine and shoot out of me into Gemma’s ripe pussy. I come so hard my balls ache and my cock feels raw.
We collapse onto the floor. Gemma lands on my chest, and I wrap my arms around her, gently rolling us onto our sides so I’m spooning her. I bury my face in her hair, letting her familiar scent ground me.
We stay cuddled in silence for long moments before Gemma giggles. I feel the sound deep in my chest, making my heart lighter than it’s ever been.
“What’s so funny?” I murmur.
“That was… hot.” Her cheeks turn from flushed pink to bright red.
I groan at her innocence mixed with the sex goddess I know she keeps hidden. I love that I’m the one to bring that out in her. “Hell, yeah, it was,” I rasp, brushing my lips against her ear.
Gemma giggles again and relaxes into my embrace. My heart is full, and I know I need to tell her how I feel. I need her to know she’s mine, and I love her more than I thought I was capable of. I’ll love her better than anyone if she’ll give me the chance.
CHAPTERTEN
GEMMA
“Thank you so much for agreeing to be interviewed for Grave Secrets!” I tell Ari, my special guest. She’s on the other side of the country, but thanks to Zoom, I can interview anyone, anywhere, any time. “Your insights about traveling and ghost hunting were amazing and added a lot of context to some of the stories I tell. I think I have everything I need. It usually takes me about a week to edit. Then I’ll send the file your way for final approval.”
“That sounds great. This was so much fun! We should do more collaborations in the future after my next trip in a few months.”
“I would love that. Maybe you can take me to one of your favorite haunted places, and we can do some paranormal experiments!”
“Yes!” Ari exclaims. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and my cheeks are sore from smiling and laughing so much. I can’t wait to meet her in real life. “I’m gearing up for a hike in the Smoky Mountains. There’s an old, abandoned town in a long-forgotten valley. Rumor has it, there’s evidence of someone living there again, even though no one has been seen in the flesh.”
“Are you going by yourself? That sounds a little scary and dangerous.”
Ari waves her hand in front of the screen, dismissing my concerns. “I’ll be fine. I’ve spent the night in the haunted Missouri State Penitentiaryandthe Winchester mansion.”
“Don’t your parents worry about you?”
The usually bright and bubbly Ari, aka Arizona, loses a bit of her light at the mention of her parents. When she looks at me again, her eyes are dim and subdued. “They passed away when I was a kid. The aunt who raised me doesn’t talk to me much these days. She thinks I’m silly and stupid for being a travel blog writer, especially a paranormal one.”
My heart goes out to her. “I’m sorry about your mom and dad,” I say in a hushed tone. “And I’m sorry your aunt never believed in you. My family wasn’t supportive of my podcast either, but screw ‘em!”
This makes Ari smile. “Agreed. We’re better off without the negativity.”
“Exactly,” I say with a nod. “But now that you have me, you officially have someone who’s worried about you. So please check in with me on your travels and let me know you’re safe.”
Ari looks surprised, then a little teary. I get it. I didn’t believe people cared just because they cared. Not until Axel swooped in and reminded me I’m worthy of good things and kindness.
“I will,” she whispers before clearing her throat. “I promise,” she says a little more clearly.
We say our goodbyes, and I lean back against the couch. I’ve been staying with Axel for a few days now, and I must admit, I could get used to life here. Especially when Axel walks around shirtless and gives me dark looks like he’s doing right now.
“All done with work for the day?” he asks, stalking toward me.
“Not even close,” I tell him, though I’m not so much looking at his eyes as I am his chest and sculpted abs.
Axel chuckles, though the sound is rough. “Maybe I can distract you for a bit?”
I squeeze my thighs together automatically, the ache blooming there already almost unbearable.
The sexy beast of a biker stands in front of me, then leans down, placing his hands on the backrest of the couch, one on each side of my head.
