MEREDITH

" G rizzly, what's wrong? In all the time I've known Harlow, I've never seen you this upset over something. It was a harmless conversation with a boy from my science class. He asked me on a date and I politely declined him. There was no reason for you or Trap to behave the way you two did, and there's certainly no reason for you to still be angry about it now," I tell him in a firm tone as I crawl on the bed beside him.

"I have every damn right to be upset. It wasn't that long ago that I found you walking on a makeshift runway about to be sold to the highest bidder. If only you could know the fear I felt when I saw you standing up there, the thought crossing my mind that I might never see you again…you would understand why I reacted the way I did today." He grasps my face in his hands. "You have no idea what you do to me, darlin'."

"I know that scared you—hell, it scared me too. I thought I was going to be gone and I'd never see Harlow or any of you again. I'm sorry that scared you today, but everything is okay. I'm here and safe," I say as I caress his face.

He pulls me to him and kisses me passionately, wrapping his arms around my waist. His tongue begs for access to my mouth and I moan softly, giving him what he wants. His tongue caresses mine as he deepens the kiss. He pulls one of his arms between us and slides his hand up the front of my shirt, kneading my breast.

"Damn, your skin is so soft. I love how good you feel in my hands," he murmurs against my lips.

I feel him hardening through his pants and I reach for the buckle. We quickly divest each other of our clothes, and his hands roam my body.

"Oh, Mer, you feel so good against me. I want to you in my bed forever," he croons against my neck as he nips the soft flesh there.

"Grizzly," I moan as his fingers find their way to my soaked center.

"You like this, don't you? You like the way my fingers make you feel," he coos in my ear as he slides a finger inside me.

I gasp at the sensation and moan, throwing my head back on the pillows.

"I need you…I need you inside me, now. Please," I choke out, begging.

Grizzly grabs my leg and wraps it around his hip, rolling us over so I'm on top of him. The tip of his length bumps my throbbing clit and I moan at the feeling.

"Grizzly, you're so big," I whisper as I lean up.

The head of him sits at my entrance and I gasp at the fullness I feel as I sink down on him.

"Jesus…fuck, darlin', so tight for me," he groans.

I give myself a minute to adjust to him before I start riding him slowly. His cock is hitting all the right places, and I can feel my orgasm building already.

"Uh, uh, oh God," he pants as I pick up my pace.

I feel him start to throb harder inside me and I know he isn't going to last much longer either.

"Come for me, Meredith. Come for me, flood me with your sweetness," he begs.

The coil in my belly snaps and I cry out as I release all over him, liquid covering his lap and running onto the sheets. Grizzly made me squirt. I always thought that was a myth, but I guess it isn't.

"Holy fuck, that was hot," he growls out as he tries to keep himself from coming too soon.

"I want you to come for me, Grizzly. I want to feel it," I say softly, riding him as fast as I can.

"Oh fuck, oh yes," he groans.

He thrusts up into me and stills as he empties into me, his hot seed warming my insides. I collapse on his chest, trying to catch my breath.

"Damn, that was amazing," Grizzly murmurs into my hair.

"Yes, it was," I say in reply.

It isn't long before he's snoring beside me, and my mind is racing. I can tell that Grizzly is getting serious about me, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. This is only supposed to be sex and fun, not anything else. At least, not yet anyway. I slide out of bed and grab my clothes. I can't stay here, and I'm not sure I want to. I get dressed and leave the room, hoping he doesn't wake up. I manage to get downstairs without being noticed and order an Uber.

I need to stay away from them for a while so I can think straight and figure out what's going on with the way I feel. I know I'm running, and if they figure it out it might hurt them, especially Grizzly, but I have to figure out if serious is what I want to be when it comes to them. I just hope they let me have the space I need.

That isn't likely to happen, and I know it.

And the worst part is, I kind of like knowing they won't let me run very far.
