I close my eyes and whisper, “Wow.”
Cameryn’s hand finds mine, her arm brushing against my own. “Fucking crazy, right?”
I turn to look at her, and even among the darkness, her blue eyes glow brightly against her dirty blonde mane.
“Is he okay?” I ask,about Chase.
She clears her throat. She knows I’m talking about her best friend. She flicks her eyes back to the boys as they all start to move off the stage. “I fucking hope so.”
She launches herself off the speaker and into Chase’s arms. I watch Chase bury his face into her bare shoulder, and I feel the tips of my fingers start to tingle. He’s lucky to have her. She would fight for him, would bleed with him.
Chase passes her to Tyler, and she is crawling up his tall body, placing fierce kisses to his lips when a clipped whistle has me flicking my attention to my left. Harlen hauls his guitar to a stagehand and wrenches me off the storage container by my hips.
I wrap myself around him when his hands find a place beneath my ass. Pushing my lips to his urgently, he grins against my mouth, so I do it again and again and again, making sure I don’t leave any skin untouched on his face, his neck, until he’s laughing.
I bring my mouth over his as I whisper, “My man really is an expert with his fingers.”
He growls deep in his throat, “You’re so fucked.” Then he carries me away from the group and down a quiet tunnel at the side of the stage. Harlen slams me against the painted black brick wall at my back, and I whimper when his hand collars my throat, pushing his thumb beneath my chin and angling his mouth over mine.
“Say it again,” he demands, a breath over my lips as he begins to drift that same hand down the length of my throat, over my collarbone, all the way down my ribs before sliding beneath my oversized hoodie and at the top of my panties.
“Cherry.” His voice comes out as a rumble, a warning.
And I can’t speak, too lost to the heat of his touch, so when he spanks my pussy, I gasp and he grins, cupping my dripping cunt. “Say it–”
“Give them to me, Harlen.”
At the neediness in my voice, he bites my bottom lip, shoving my panties to the side and pushing me farther into the wall with his palm to my clit.
“Oh, baby, I’ll give you something so much fucking better.”
I close my eyes and tug at my bottom lip when warmth bridges my entrance, the head of his cock slipping into my tight, soaking hole, and before I can take another breath or steady my rapidly beating heart, he slams into me completely.
My arms are around Harlen’s neck as he slides me up and down the wall, and I can’t help but circle my hips into him, needing him, all of him, every piece of him. His sweaty forehead rests against mine as he rides my pussy the only way he knows how, our pants mingling together.
I moan loudly when he thrusts into me deeper, caressing that tender spot that has every one of my muscles clenching around him.
When he groans, I know it's because I’m starting to shake, my body convulsing through the emerging release coursing through me.
The excitement of being caught has me spasming, and as my orgasm crests, I scream,loudly.
Harlen’s hand slams down over my mouth, and I bite my teeth into the inside of his palm as his cock thrashes inside me, jerking through his own release.
Harlen’s sweaty hair falls over my face when he pushes his forehead against mine, his eyes closed as he catches his breath, and I grin before licking over his lips.
“That was cute.” My voice is a quiet, confident whisper.
He pulls out of me and spanks my swollen pussy again. “I’ll give you fucking cute, Cherry Bomb.” He takes my bottom lip into his mouth when echoes and voices filter through the tunnel.
We stay looking at each other, then we just laugh.
One Week Later
I’m in the passenger seat when Cameryn cuts the engine to Tyler’s orange Camaro.
Silence falls around us like a thick blanket and we stay in our seats for a moment longer, staring out at the graying headstones in front of us. Sucking back a sharp breath of courage, I kick my door open, stepping out before leaning back in and crouching to avoid bashing my head, where I snatch up the yellow roses I had bought from Maree’s coffee shop,Maple and Spice,earlier.
We decided to take a drive out to Shadow Heads while the boys and Harmony stayed back at Rusty’s lake house in Devil’s Peak. We dropped into Maree’s cafe for a jam-filled donut and soy chai latte before stopping here.
