He guides himself between my wet slit and slams into me. I immediately come with a bitten back scream. Without a chance to recover, he fucks me. On the hard floor. In the middle of his living room. He goes faster and harder, every thrust deeper than the last. He stops, withdraws, and flips me onto my back, then continues to thrust into me, lifting my legs over his shoulders to get into me as far as he can.

“I want your mouth,” he says as he leans down and kisses me, devouring my mouth.

He draws back, swiping his tongue along my lower lip. “My sweet, sweet Joy. Are you going to lie to me again?”

At my hesitation he stops and completely pulls out of me. I cry out in frustration. He collars my throat with one hand and runs his other hand between my slit.

He squeezes my throat. “I asked you a question, baby. Are you going to fucking lie again?”

I smirk. “And if I do?” The probability of me lying again is high.

He chuckles and roughly pulls me closer to him with the hand at my throat. “I know every line, curve, dip, and sensitive spot on your body. I know exactly how to drive you crazy.”

He proceeds to prove his point. Two fingers drag along the swollen lips of my pussy. He traps my clit between his fingers and gently squeezes.

“Aiden, please,” I moan.

The hand around my throat tightens. “Don’t speak unless you are giving an answer.” He thrusts his fingers inside and I begin to pant as he curves his finger, hitting that delicious spot with every brutal thrust. I clamp around his fingers as I feel myself about to come. But before I can, he pulls his fingers out. I let out a scream of frustration.

He runs his thumb over my bottom lip. “That greedy pussy. Too bad you don’t listen. Have you had enough?”

I let out a sob in response. Pleading him with my eyes to let me find my release.

“Then answer my fucking question. Are. You. Going. To. Lie. Again?” he bites out.

“No.”

“That’s my Joy,” he whispers, then he lines his cock to my opening and slams in. Deep. He furiously powers into me, every thrust filling and stretching me.

He gives one last command, “Come,” and I explode, gasping for air. He buries himself inside of me and comes, too. When his orgasm leaves him, he lifts me off the floor and carries me to his room. He lays me in the bed, then settles down next to me and wraps me in his protective arms, spooning me. He pulls the cover over us and lets out a deep sigh of contentment.

“Don’t do that again, Joyce,” he says softly.

I nod and reply, “I won’t.” He kisses my shoulder then relaxes.

I get it. He was worried. I don’t blame him. I put on a brave face earlier, but I was scared at that moment. But Aiden came and helped me. I hear his breathing even out, signaling he is asleep.

Before I close my eyes, I whisper, “For the first time, I feel completely safe and it’s because of you.”

What I didn’t know as I fell asleep was that Aiden was wide awake.

I open my eyes and blink away the sleep. My head hurts less from yesterday’s event, but it still hurts. It is times like these that it wouldn’t suck to be a reaper, so that I didn’t have to feel pain for this long. I turn my head towards where Aiden should have been asleep. I place my hand on his side and feel that it is slightly warm. He must’ve just gotten up.

I roll out of bed, grab one of his t-shirts from a drawer and throw it on. I go to the bathroom to take care of my business then walk towards the bedroom door. As I am opening it, I hear two voices. Both men. After listening for a couple of seconds, I discern that one is Aiden and the other is Joey. I slowly try to close the door to not intrude, but my ears perk up at the sound of my name.

“If you ever put Joyce in danger like that again, I’ll kill you again my fucking self,” Aiden warns. He is probably very serious too.

I hear Joey sigh. “The system shutting down made it to where we didn’t have all the information. I didn’t know he was a murderer, Aiden. I especially did not know he was the one who murdered, Joyce. I really would never put her in danger like that on purpose. I’ll have to apologize to her when I see her.”

There’s a pause. “You still shouldn’t have taken her with you without telling me.”

I can almost hear Joey roll his eyes as he says, “She’s your lawyer and you barely like her. She can do as she pleases, Aiden. What is your issue? You’re never this strung up over anybody, especially not a woman.”

Aiden calmly explains, “I already told you, Joey. Joyce doesn’t leave Eden without me at least knowing, and she sure as hell doesn’t collect souls. You know how dangerous it can get. I doubt it would be good for me if my lawyer goes missing or suffers to where she can’t work.”

“That makes sense.” He pauses. “I’m sorry, bro. I just thought she may have wanted a break from Eden and a change of pace. I really fucked up.” He is right. I really did want a change of pace. It can get very slow at Eden sometimes.
