“Come on.” I grabbed her hand and winked at her as I pulled her toward the steps.

“Where are we going?” she asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear with her free hand. We made our way to the front door and I glanced around the yard before replying.

“I said I was going to fuck you against that tree, and I meant it.”

Her lips quirked up in a smile and we hurried across the grass. The moon was especially bright tonight and lit the path to our destination perfectly. When we reached the trees, Rose was giggling, and all of my anger, the craziness that had swamped my head for years, had dissipated. I was Cole, the boy who fell in love with the untouchable girl; but this time I could have her any way that I wanted her. I grabbed her hips and backed her against the tree. She made a pained face as the bark bit into her ass.

“Lift your arms over your head and lace your fingers around the tree.” She did as she was told and as her arms lifted, so did the shirt, revealing her perfectly pink pussy. I stepped closer and ran my middle finger over her clit, causing her to shudder. I kept my touch light, gliding effortlessly over her dampness. “Do you want me to taste you, sweetheart?” I whispered into her ear. She bit down on her plump lower lip. “Tell me. Tell me what you want me to do to you.”

“Anything you want,” she answered breathlessly. I smiled as I moved my finger in a circular motion and her hips began to rock.

“Anything?” I pushed the tip of my finger against her entrance, teasing her.

“Please,” she moaned.

“As long as you promise not to let go of that tree.”

She nodded and I pulled her shirt up over her breasts, leaning down to suck her right nipple into my mouth, swirling my tongue over the peak. I took my time, wanting to make this last for both of us. I loved watching her get all worked up like this more than I enjoyed coming. I moved over to her other breast and gave it just as much attention, and her hips moved much more freely against me. I pushed the palm of my hand against her, and she began to ride it, her head lying back against the tree. I pulled back just to watch her as she worked to get herself off. It was a thing of fucking beauty. My dick was so hard that the gentle rub from my jeans was threatening to make me come in my pants like a high schooler.

“Not yet.” I removed my hand from her pussy and gripped both her hips, stilling her motions. “I want you to ride my face like that.”

She was panting so hard that her tits were heaving in my face. They were pushed out farther by the way I had her gripping the tree. I got down on my knees in front of her and inhaled the scent of her excitement. I slipped my hand around the back of her knees and put her leg over my shoulder. Slowly I ran my tongue over her, causing her to gasp. “You taste so fucking amazing.” I ran my tongue over her again, and this time she let out a small moan and her hips bucked against my mouth. I lost all control with that sound of wanting. I grabbed her other leg and put it over my other shoulder so I was holding her against my mouth and able to assault her with my tongue. She was spread perfectly open for me and I sucked her swollen clit between my teeth as I pushed my tongue over it in tiny pulsating motions. She looked down at me through hooded eyes as I devoured her, never breaking our eye contact. Her brow furrowed and I could tell she was getting close so I slid lower, shoving my tongue into her tight hole. She cried out and began to ride my mouth, her tits bouncing as her pussy tried to squeeze and hold me inside.

“I want…to fuck you…” she panted, but I already planned on fucking her whether she came in my mouth or not. I pulled my mouth back and blew over her clit as I slid a finger inside of her. “You’re teasing me.”

“You fucking like it when I tease you.” I pushed a second finger inside and let her slide all the way down on them. I felt around for her G-spot and began to rub as she rode my fingers. I licked her clit with each downward thrust of her hips and it wasn’t long before she began to squeeze around me and her body shook. I covered her with my mouth as her orgasm ripped through her so intensely I had to help her stay balanced against the tree so she didn’t fall. She was panting, and I let her have a minute to calm down before sliding her legs from my shoulders and standing in front of her. “Turn around,” I ordered and she did, again wrapping her arms around the tree. “Bend lower.” I grabbed her hips and pulled her ass against my waist, grinding my cock into her from behind. I knew she was still incredibly sensitive from her orgasm. She bent lower, sliding her hands down the bark of the tree. “Arch your back.” I let go of her long enough to pull out my dick and rub it over her ass. She leaned closer to the tree.

“I’m not going to do that here, darlin’.” I slipped lower and eased inside of her, exhaling as I pushed all the way in. I closed my eyes, getting lost in the pure fucking heaven that was Rose. I rocked my hips slowly, not wanting it to end. I could never get enough of her. This connection, this pure raw passion had been under the surface for all of these years. My body craved her even when my mind was telling me not to go near her. I ran my hand up her spine and into her hair. I fisted it and I pulled back lightly. She didn’t object or shy away, even though I knew the things we had done in our short time together were nothing like her previous sex life. Anger flashed inside of me as I thought of her being with anyone else but me. She was mine and I, hers. My thrusts grew rougher, and I pulled back on her tangled hair just a little harder. I hated the jealous possessive prick I had become, but Rose was unraveling my hard exterior and helping me realize that the boy I used to be was still there. I walked around like I had a death wish, taking unnecessary risks because my reason for living had vanished; but now that she was back I had to do everything I possibly could to fight for us — to fight for her.

I came hard, bending over her back so my chest was pressed against her, one arm around her waist, keeping her still as I pumped my seed inside of her. I’d been with many women since Rose, but nothing compared to her smell, her touch. It was never enough.

I stood up, reluctantly withdrawing from her body and admiring the view of her naked body bent over from behind. I smacked my hand lightly across her ass before pulling her back from the tree and wrapping my arms around her from behind.

“I love you so fucking much,” I breathed into her tangled hair as her hands came to rest on mine.

“I love you too, Cole.” Her breathing still heavy.

“Let’s go to bed. I want to hold you in my arms for a few more hours.” I fastened the button of my jeans. I took her small, delicate hand in mine and we exited the trees, walking leisurely back across the grass to the front of the house.

The house was still quiet as we slipped inside, and I locked the front door behind us before lifting her in my arms and carrying her up the steps to the bedroom.

I slept like a rock, my arms looped possessively around Rose. It was hot and sweat slicked our skin by the early morning hours, but I didn’t care. I loved the feel of her softness.

“I’m so sore.” She bowed her back and stretched, her ass pushing against my morning hard-on.

“Let’s take a shower and I will make us something to eat.” I kissed her temple. She unlaced my arms from around her, and I had to fight the urge to pull her back and pin her down. The sun had just begun to rise and I glanced around the room, hating the dreadful feeling that consumed me as my mind wandered to the past.

“Are you coming?” Rose asked with a rueful smile, standing before me with her perfect tits exposed.

“I will be soon. You look so fucking amazing without any clothes on.” I slid off the bed, gripping my straining cock in my hand. I opened the bedroom door and peered down the hall. There wasn’t any sound but the radio that still softly played from Amber’s room. I slipped out with Rose behind me, and we closed the bathroom door behind us. I watched her as she bent over to turn on the water and adjust the temperature. It was impossible not to want to take her at every opportunity. She stepped into the stream of cool water and I slipped in behind her, running my hand over her dampened skin. She grabbed the soap and I took the bottle from her hand. “Let me.” I poured a heavy amount into the palm of my hand and rubbed it into a lather before sliding my hands over her shoulder. Tracing her collarbone with my fingertips. I dipped lower. Cupping the heavy weight of her breasts in my hands and sliding my thumbs over the peaks of her breasts, causing her nipples to harden beneath them.

I sank lower, rubbing circles over her belly before I pressed my body against hers so I could run my hands over her back and down over her tight little ass. My cock now slid easily between her soapy legs. Her eyes closed and I smiled taking a step back and continuing the journey with my hands. I dropped to my knees and picked up her foot, massaging it clean before placing it gently on the tub floor and doing the same to the other.

I grabbed the bottle of soap and lathered up again as she watched me through hooded eyes. I worked my way up her calf, over her knee and around her thigh, careful to avoid the apex of her thighs. I gave the same attention to the other leg before standing before her; my cock was rock hard. I slipped my fingers over her folds and she let out a ragged breath, her eyes fluttering closed as she widened her stance, giving me easier access. I braced with an arm against the wall next to her head, as I let my fingers slide gently over her. It was hard holding back and not taking her hard and rough, but I knew she needed a break from our wild fucking sessions, and I was happy to give her a release any way I could.

She whimpered and I leaned in closer, sucking her earlobe between my teeth. Her hands slid over her soapy stomach and gripped my hand, guiding me to help her get off. It was so incredibly hot watching her use me to get off. Her back bowed away from the wall and my cock slid over her thigh as she came. Bucking against my fingertips.

“Ohh…” She began to cry out, and I covered my mouth in hers, not wanting her cries of pleasure to wake Amber. My tongue pushed against hers and she kissed me back hungrily as her body shook. Her eyes slowly opened and a wicked grin spread across her face. Her cheeks were flushed and droplets of water and bubbles clung to her skin.

“Better?”

She sucked her lower lip between her teeth and nodded, grabbing the soap and pouring some into her hand.

“My turn.” She pushed against my chest and switched positions with me so my back was against the shower wall. She explored my body the way I had hers, taking her time to cover every inch of me. When her fingers finally slid over the head of my cock I felt like I was going to blow. Her fingers wrapped around the shaft, squeezing as she slid up and down the length of me, pumping faster to make me come. I did, hard, blowing my load all over her tight little stomach.

We rinsed off and washed our hair, feeling cooler and more awake by the time we got out of the bathroom. I gave Rose a T-shirt and a pair of my boxers to wear, and I opted to go shirtless and pull on a pair of jeans.

We made our way to the kitchen, and I grabbed a carton of eggs from the fridge and a frying pan from one of the cupboards.

“Sit down and relax,” I told Rose who did, pulling her knees up to her chest. I wondered if this was what it was going to be like, if we ever got our happily ever after: making love before bed and doing it again as soon as we woke, taking care of each other, feeding each other. I had to stop my mind from going too far into the future. There were too many what ifs to be able to guess what tomorrow would hold for us. Right now seemed pretty perfect, and I knew all I had to do was pull off this job for Danny. Then I could get Rose somewhere safe. I wouldn’t be satisfied until I took out Craig of course, but I had to focus on one dilemma at a time.

The butter sizzled in the pan, and I dropped in two eggs, watching them fry and crackle.

“There is something so sexy about a half-naked man cooking breakfast,” she teased, and I turned around to wink at her. “I think I could get used to this.”

“You better get used to this, sweetheart. I’m not going anywhere.” I used the spatula to flip the eggs. I turned the heat down and grabbed two slices of bread and popped them in the toaster.

“I can make the toast.” She began to get up.

“Don’t you dare. I want to do this for you.” I wanted to take care of her, make her smile. She relaxed in her seat and stared out the window. Her eyes narrowed.

I slid her eggs onto a plate and grabbed the toast, swiping it with butter before slicing it in half and placing it on the plate. I carried it over to her and sat it down on the table as my eyes followed hers.

“What is it?”

“Nothing.” She looked back at me smiling. I hated that she had to worry so much about what would happen to us. I placed a kiss on top of her head.

“Eat. Let me worry about everything else.” I smiled at her before pulling back. “I’m going to go wake Amber so she can eat.”

“Thanks…for everything.”

I left the kitchen thinking how much things had changed over the last couple of days. My focus was now solely on Rose, and I knew that would make things more dangerous for me, but it didn’t matter. I had someone to live for, and it was hard to consider that a bad thing. Still, I would need to keep my tunnel vision in check or I would end up fucking things up worse. I reached the top of the steps, listening to the music for a moment before knocking on my old bedroom door.

“Rise and shine. The kitchen is about to close.” I waited another second before knocking a little harder. Still nothing. I turned the knob and pushed the door open. The bed was empty; my old navy-blue comforter lay on the floor between me and the bed. I ran my hand over my still-dampened hair before leaving the bedroom and hurrying to the bathroom. The door was still open and the light off. My mind raced.

I took the steps two at a time as I thought of how she could have gotten past us. We had watched her go to bed last night. I hadn’t left her alone. Flashes of Rose bent over in the woods, gripping a tree swarmed my thoughts. I had left Amber unprotected so I could run off and fuck someone. I flew down the steps and came face-to-face with a startled Rose.
