I felt his warm breath on my ear just—just breathing in and out and my eyes rolled back in my head.  His hand continued the barely there touch over my slit, just putting enough pressure to let me know it was there.  He sucked my earlobe into his mouth and bit down gently; I moaned out my pleasure and he released it after a gentle suck.

“I’m going to fuck you now,” he whispered. “Would you like that?”

I nodded my head, wanting nothing more than to feel him buried as deep as possible inside me.

“I’m going to fuck you so hard, so deep, but you’re not to cum until I tell you to, are you, Ashlen?”

I shook my head.  I knew I wasn’t allowed to orgasm until he said, but I needed the reminder at that point.

He took his hands off me and I felt the bed move, then the telltale sound of a condom wrapper being ripped open.  I shuddered in anticipation; I wanted his long hard cock in me desperately.  The bed dipped again and I felt his heat covering me. Then he nuzzled into my neck—licking, sucking, biting; I could only moan around the ball in my mouth.  Then with a quick motion he was balls deep, my body convulsed but I held back the orgasm—barely.  Just as swiftly, he had pulled out and thrust harder into me, it was almost painful and I loved it.  I wanted to run my hands down his back, scratch him, pull him closer but I couldn’t move, all I could do is lay there and let him do as he pleased.

He continued to thrust in and out of me with such force that if I wasn’t bound I would have been sliding up the bed.  He murmured a reminder to me yet again that I wasn’t allowed to cum, but I wanted to.  It was right there waiting on his command, my walls kept gripping him, not wanting him to leave my body and yet he continued to drive into me roughly.  I moaned, whimpered, and would have begged if I could have and yet he continued to plunge in to me so deliciously hard and fast.

I don’t know how long he fucked me, keeping me so close to an orgasm that I knew would be earth shattering.  I kept fighting to keep from coming, holding it back for his command; I desperately needed that command.  When he finally whispered come against my ear, I exploded around him, my body convulsed, I screamed and he continued to fuck me.  There were spots behind my eyes and I thought I was going to pass out from the intensity of my orgasm.  I finally heard him groan and shudder with the force of his own orgasm.

Cris

We lay together through the aftershocks. I kept touching and kissing her softly helping her comedown.  Finally, I slowly pulled out of her body and stood, quickly taking care of the condom then gently removing the ball gag and blindfold.  She worked her jaw while I went to uncuff her from the bed.  I lay down beside her and eased her to her back so I could rub her arms and legs, helping ease any of the discomfort from being bound.  I trailed kisses down her spine, just letting her know I was there with her.  She moaned and I ran my tongue back up her spine and watched her shudder.

I moved all of her glorious long gold hair out of the way and kissed up her neck until I reached the hollow behind her ear and sucked.  She groaned and dug her fingers into the pillow.

“You sure you don’t want to move in with me, Ash?”  I watched her hazel eyes narrow, her soft features pinch.  I ran my hand through her sweaty blonde hair hoping but knowing I wouldn’t be getting the answer I wanted. 

Chapter 2

Ash

I sat out on Cris’s back porch with a cold beer watching a storm slowly roll in.  The black clouds looked menacing especially when the sunny sky of the afternoon was still shining bright side by side with the storm clouds.  I sighed, only in Texas did you see skies like this—where you can literally have both seventy degree weather beside fifty degree storm clouds in the same neighborhood.  I glanced over and watched Cris walk outside with me.  I knew we were going to have the same argument that we had lately, and I really didn’t want to.  That’s why I walked out of the bedroom when he asked me to move in again.

“So you ever going to answer me?”

“Do I have to?” I asked looking over at him.  He really was gorgeous with his short dark hair, dark brown eyes that were almost black, his tattooed arms and chest were showing since all he had thrown on was a pair of jeans.  His chest was a work of art that led down to abs made for licking that tapered down to that perfect V.  Damn, he was gorgeous, and he was mine, and would be mine for good if I could give him what he wanted.

“It would be nice.”

“I can’t move in with you right now.”

“Why not?”

“You know why not, we had this discussion last week.”

“Yeah, we did.”

“So you know why I can’t move in with you.”

“I love Devi, just like you do, and I love her kids, but Ash you can’t give your life up for them.”

“I’m not giving my life up, I am doing my job.”

“And you can do your job and not live there.”

“They need me.”

“I need you.”

“Cris, you don’t understand what they are going through right now.”

“Yeah I do.  I talk to her daily.  I know exactly what she’s going through.”

“Then you know why I can’t leave right now.”

“All right, what about when Seth comes back from tour?”

“What about it?”

“They are taking a break after the tour is over.  Talked to Sam about it yesterday; he says probably a year or so.”

“Okay?”

“Okay, so I understand not wanting to leave them while Seth’s on tour, because yeah, Devi needs you most then, but after?”

“I can’t just leave them like that.”

“I’m not saying quit, I am saying just not live there anymore.”

“And if it’s a live here or get fired what then?”

“It won’t be.”

“You know that for a fact?”

“I know Devi.”

“It’s my job.  I agreed to be a live-in nanny from the beginning.”

“Yeah, but that was before me.”

“There wasn’t a well until I meet someone condition in my contract.”

“You signed a contract?”

“Yep.”

“And the contract said you had to live there?”

“Don’t remember.” I knew there was a non-disclosure along with some other contracts I signed to help protect them from the press, and I couldn’t blame them for it.

“You don’t remember?”

“Nope.” I really didn’t want to get into this with him again, but I knew he wasn’t going to let it go until he got what he wanted.

“So why not look through it and see if it does?”

“Because I like living there.”

“You like it more than being with me?”

“No, that’s not what I said.  I said I like living there.  I like the way things are going with us as they are now.”

“We’ve been together for eight months and no one knows about us, Ash, you’re okay with that too?”

“No, I am not okay with that,” I told him. “I’ve been thinking about this, let’s tell everyone this weekend at the bar-be-que.”

“What bar-be-que?”

I sighed then glared at him.  “Do you ever listen to me?”

“Yes, I listen to you, sometimes.”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought.  Devi is having a bar-be-que this weekend for I think, Max’s birthday.  Hell, I don’t remember.”

“Fine, you want to tell them this weekend, we’ll tell them this weekend,” he grumbled.

I smiled over at him.  “Good, now let’s stop fighting and enjoy our day off.”

Cris

Sunday afternoon Max and I rode our Harleys to Devi and Seth’s house for the bar-be-que to celebrate Max’s birthday earlier that week.  Since Sunday was the only day the shop was closed, it was the only day all of us could get together to really celebrate it.  I was looking forward to seeing Ash, but I didn’t know what to expect when everyone found out about us.  I also didn’t really give a shit, but I knew she did especially since it’s her employers as well as friends.  We were going to say something before but things always seemed to happen to interfere with the timing, like Drake’s accident, so I was waiting for something else to stop us from finally letting the cat out of the bag.

“Ready for this?” Max asked as we were heading up to the door.  He already knew about us and knew the plan to let everyone else know.

“Yeah, been ready for a while.”

“Well good luck, I don’t think they will care much,” he said and smirked over at me.

“Shut up, let’s go in,” I said, ringing the doorbell and walking in the door to chaos which is typical of Devi’s house lately.  The kids were screaming, Jaks running around, and the guys were either trying to soothe a baby or completely ignoring it while playing video games—ah, life at the Taylor household.

I walked through the house to the kitchen and found Devi, Mags, and Ash in there getting food ready for the grill.  I walked behind Ash and ran my fingers across the skin showing on her lower back and had to fight a smirk when I saw her shiver.  I loved that I could get a reaction like that out of her.  I happened to glance over at Devi and found her watching us.  She winked at me and went back to what she was doing—well I guess we weren’t being as circumspect as we had thought.

“So Cris, more interviews tomorrow?” Devi asked.

“One, I am meeting Haven tomorrow.”

“I’ve heard good things about her.”

“Yeah me too, and she was trained by a pioneer of body modification.”

Devi nodded.  “Let me know how it goes.”

I took a deep breath.  It was still strange to think that Devi had just as many rights to my shop as I did, but Devi wasn’t acting any different than she normally would have.  I had always discussed hiring and firing with her.
