She groaned, and the sound washed an effervescent bubble throughout my body. Goosebumps marred my skin, forcing me deeper between her legs as the sincerity of her words crashed over me.
This woman loved me.
And I’d spend every waking moment making sure she never regretted it.
“Archer, please. I… I… I…”
I sucked her clit between my lips and growled, causing her to shiver for me. Her thighs clamped against my face, but when I felt her grip my hair, I wrapped my arms beneath her thighs. I wanted to make her quiver with anticipation. I wanted her to orgasm so hard that she lost her voice.
But instead, she tugged at my hair, pulling me slowly up her body.
“What is it?” I asked as our lips fell together. “What’s wrong?”
She bucked against me. “I need to feel you.”
And I didn’t waste a second pulling my cock out from beyond my jeans.
With our bodies pressed together and our tongues intertwined, I pressed into her wet heat. We moved together, our hearts beating as one as the love I had for her flushed through my veins. No woman had ever made me feel this way. I’d never wanted to be so strong and yet so vulnerable for someone in my entire life. As our bodies collided, climbing to that beautiful precipice we had declared as our own, I breathed the air she afforded me.
Until at last, our bodies locked out together.
“Oh—shit—Archer. I love you. I love you. I love you.”
Her pussy clamped around me tightly, refusing to let me go. And as grunts fell from my lips, I held myself above her as my cock filled her to the brim.
“I love you too, Josie. So fucking much.”
She wrapped her weak arms around my neck and pulled me down against her body. And while I still didn’t put my full body weight on top of her, I’d never felt closer. Her pussy pulsed so hard that she pushed me out from between her legs, with the evidence of our love gushing against her thighs. It dripped against my tip, marking me just as I had marked her.
Then, I scooted onto the bed and pulled her against my body.
“Oh, my,” Josie said breathlessly.
I chuckled. “‘Oh, my,’ is right.”
She nuzzled her cheek against my shoulder. “Thank you for looking out for me.”
I kissed her forehead. “Just get used to it, because you’re stuck with me.”
She giggled, her leg tossing itself between mine. “I don’t think that’s such a bad thing, do you?”
I stared up at the ceiling. “Can I ask you something without you freaking out about your independence?”
She snorted. “As long as you don’t try to take it from me, we’ll be good.”
I nodded slowly. “Do you really plan on moving back into your apartment?”
She paused for a while and I thought I had fucked up. That is, until she shifted her head up against my chest and sighed.
“Honestly? I haven’t given it much thought. It’s been full-throttle around here for a little while, and I haven’t thought that far ahead.”
I shrugged. “Well, I just wanted to let you know that if you don’t feel safe going back to your own place yet and being alone, you can stay with me as long as you’d like.”
She peeked up at me. “Really?”
I peered down at her. “Of course. You can keep your own room and bathroom. You can bring over whatever clothes or toiletries you might need. I’ll cook us fresh meals and we can go swimming whenever you want. You just let me know what you need, and I’ll make it happen.”
She smiled, and it stilled my heart. “Thank you. I really appreciate that. But I’m a bit concerned about one thing.”
“You can come and go as you please, and Astrid is welcome anytime.”
“Not that but thank you.”
I furrowed my brow. “Then, what are you worried about?”
She lifted her head and my eyes followed her movements. “What if I don’t want to sleep alone anymore, either? What do we do then?”
I smirked. “Well, I suppose the owner of the house could make specific arrangements.”
“Oh, really now? Like, what kind of arrangements?”
I pulled her on top of my body as she squealed with delight. “The kind of arrangements that have you waking up next to me every morning for as long as you’d like.”
She hummed as her nose nuzzled mine. “Mmmm, I like the sound of that.”
I captured her lips and relished the taste as her body slid between my legs. I could’ve made love to her all fucking night, but I also knew that would have to wait.
Because the second we heard the stomping of feet, we quickly got up and threw our clothes on.
“What’s going on?” Josie asked.
I buckled my jeans and slid my shirt over my head. “I don’t know but stay behind me. I don’t know what the fuck’s happening.”
But when I opened the door, the smell of pizza wafted up my nostrils.
Josie giggled. “The food’s here already?”
I grinned as I opened the door the rest of the way. “Guess our quick moment wasn’t so quick, huh?”
She barked with laughter as she slipped behind me and we both went out to help the other guys divvy out food. The girls were ravenous, as to be expected, and by the time we were done feeding them to the brim there were only two pizzas, half a tray of breadsticks, and absolutely no salad left.
Which was hardly enough to feed the crew, but not many of us had gotten hungry yet.
We were still too jacked up on adrenaline to eat.
“Tanner,” Josie said as she walked over, “can you help me get the girls bedded down in the rooms? They’ll be ready to pass out after that kind of feast.”
Tanner wolfed down a breadstick as he walked by, then he yelled at everyone in Spanish. The girls quickly got up and followed them down the hallway, leaving the rest of us to clean up the mess. We didn’t mind, though. We were just happy the girls were safe and sound in a place where they could feel safe.
“How long do you think we can keep this from Chops?” I asked.
I looked over at Brooks as he folded up the last of the empty pizza boxes and stuffed it into a big, black trash bag. “Honestly? I’m hoping to have them out of here by tomorrow night and into the custody of someone who can figure out where the fuck they came from.”
Porter nodded. “Yeah. We all need sleep, them included.”
Finn held up his finger. “We should have someone keeping watch, though. Just in case Chops shows up.”
I pointed at him. “That’s a good plan. Remember, he’s still our President, even though he’s corrupt as fuck.”
Brooks chewed on the inside of his cheek. “All right, Finn? You up for taking the first watch?”
He nodded. “I’m down. Just pour me a glass of Coke and I’m good to go.”
I chuckled. “Spoken like a true teenager.”
Finn glared at me. “Hey, I’m twenty-two, thank you very much.”
Porter cackled as Brooks grinned for the first time all night. “Finn can take the first watch and we’ll rotate every couple of hours.”
Tanner jogged back down the hallway. “Shouldn’t be too hard, since none of us will probably sleep tonight anyway. It’ll take all of the rooms to bed down the girls, so all we have are the couches and shit.”
I shrugged. “I don’t care. Long as they’re safe and Chops doesn’t roll up on us, I’ll be good.”
Josie’s voice sounded behind us. “Uh, guys? We’ve got a few girls who are on their periods. Who’s familiar with feminine hygiene?”
Brooks and Porter started for the door. “How many girls? Can you get a head count?”
Josie shooed the girls back into their rooms as Brooks and Porter rattled off everything they’d need to get. Thank fuck, there were some twenty-four-seven pharmacies around here. I spoke to them about where they could go and what was closest to the clubhouse. However, the second the door whipped open, the last person we wanted to see stood on the porch.
“Hey there, assholes!” Chops exclaimed as he slipped between Brooks and Porter. “Was wondering where the hell you guys were… all… uh, who the fuck are they?”
I whipped around and saw Josie standing in front of at least seven girls that had gathered behind her. And as Chops slowly turned toward all of us, I felt my guns burning holes against my hips beneath my leather jacket.
And as we all froze, Chops pointed down the hallway to where the girls were.
“Where the hell did they come from?”
