A Stolen Moment

A STOLEN MOMENT

Aura

T here's so much happening right now.

With K and Calypso…

With Leon and Amelia and everything Ruby and I have been exposed to over the last few months. The whirlwind of information and revelations feel overwhelming.

I can see it in Ruby's face, in the loose strands of hair that fall over her darkened eyes. It's in the way her tattooed fingers possessively reach for mine, a little more often as of late, her hold just a bit tighter than it was before.

The Nation wasn't the only monster we had to be wary of.

Now, we know so much more.

It's drawn us that much closer together, though. Just when I thought I knew every single detail of her, every dark and deep space in her mind—I learn more. We dive deeper. We connect and weave and intertwine in ways that make me wonder how I ever conceived the notion of Hawk being my person.

My person.

It's almost laughable now, thinking that what I had with him could have even compared to what I have with Ruby. It was undeniable from the beginning, and the ways I felt like my life was falling apart prove exactly how everything was truly coming together.

At least, that's what I remind myself of now, when we're frantically helping our friends search for their missing Fated.

I'm ripped from my own thoughts when I feel Ruby's hand slip into mine and drag me forward.

She's irritated. I can feel it in her energy, in the way her grip tightens and shifts to my wrist.

I quietly click the door shut behind me while K and Calypso head to their separate rooms in the apartment. I believe Calypso is in the room beside ours and these walls are horrendously thin.

We can't be too loud.

"Now that we're alone, do you mind telling me where the hell you were all day?" She twists on her feet and moves toward me, refusing to let go of my wrist. It's pinned between our bodies when I take a step back.

"I—" I start, just as my back hits the wall behind me. "I was with Stella."

"And?"

"And Leon."

Her eyes darken, her chin tilts down, and I watch as her lips press into a tight line while she bites back her anger. "You know how I fucking feel about that. He's completely unhinged without Amelia right now."

"I know, but I had to help them. They have a lead."

"And they couldn't go without you?"

She steps closer, pushing my wrist up and against the wall behind me. My heart rate kicks up and I have to shift my chin upward to continue meeting her gaze.

They're restless, her eyes, as they bounce between my own. I can see the sweet mix of anger, possession, and lust warring through her. This is my favorite, in all honesty. When she's so alive with desires, when they're snapping in all directions she can hardly control them.

I don't do these things to piss her off, truly.

But I enjoy it a bit when they do.

"Don't do that," she leans closer as she whispers the words.

"What?" I question, letting my lips barely brush hers as I reply.

"Give me that look and arch your back just the tiniest bit so your breathing causes your tits to drag across mine." Her lips move to my jaw and she nips her teeth against me. "You know exactly what you're doing, Vibe Girl."

I smile, I can't help it. I love getting what I want from her.

"I'm still fucking pissed with you. You can't let your phone die when I don't know exactly where you are. Charge that thing or take the portable battery I fucking got you."

God, she's right. I really do suck at that.

Click .

Our heads snap to the left, to the wall beside us, when we hear the quiet click of Calypso's bedroom door closing.

We both look at each other, our gazes settling while Ruby's lips quirk up just slightly.

"I told you," she reminds me, arrogance of being right lingering in her tone.

"I know, I know." I roll my eyes. "I think they are hooking up."

"I'm right about a lot of things, you know. Most things, actually." Her voice drops lower now, it lingers over my skin, hot and laced with that familiar dominant sound I'm so fucking turned on by.

"I wouldn't go that far." I push back, attempting to pull my hand down when she immediately tightens her hold. Her body presses against mine now, pinning me completely in place as her other hand lifts to my waist.

Her fingers slide under the hem of my shirt. She drags her touch over the soft skin of my lower stomach, just above the stiff band of my jeans. She could dip lower, but she's teasing me, tempting me with the promise of what her touch always does to me.

She dips her head closer again, brushing her lips across mine in a single, slow kiss. I arch my back, pushing myself against her body as I feel my own arousal build between my thighs.

God, she breathes in my fucking direction and I'm already wet.

She kisses me again, her fingers suddenly twisting into the fabric of my thin, pink silk tank top. It has lace that lines the neckline, dipping lower so Ruby can see my chest rise and fall with every deep breath I take.

Dragging me closer to her, I take the opportunity to slide my fingers into the waistband of her jeans and pull her against me as well. Our bodies immediately fall into our sensual rhythm. Her knee moves between my legs and I open myself up for her.

My heart slams against my chest now, my breaths choppy and little whimpers already begging to be released. I roll my hips forward and she pulls away, intentionally slowing me down.

She knows how I get when she touches me like this.

"Let me take my time with you," she whispers as her lips brush against the soft skin of my collarbone. "You're always so eager, Aura. So quick to beg for it, even quicker to come for me." She nips my skin between her teeth and I hiss. "I love it. I really do. But sometimes I love making you wait even more."

"Ruby," I chastise. My fingers tighten their hold as I run them through the strands of her hair.

"Shh," she replies, just before she slips her tongue out and runs it between the valley of my breasts. She shoves my shirt up and over my chest, exposing my already stiff nipples for her. The chill and anticipation send a shiver running down my spine and I have to bite my lip to keep from moaning.

It doesn't work, though, and in the next second she's sucking my left nipple into her wet mouth and flicking her tongue over it. My lips part and my knees go weak, the whimper escaping my throat without any semblance of control.

"Seriously, you have to be quiet." She bites me and just as I'm about to make a sound, her palm slams over my mouth while she continues working over my flesh. "These walls are thin."

"How can I keep quiet when you're doing that, Ruby?" I whisper the words as low as I possibly can as I tug her hold away from my face. I urge my hands and body to do most of the talking for me.

"You don't have to say a word, not really." She drops one hand between my legs, pressing up against the apex of my jeans for a moment before she unbuttons them and pulls the zipper down. She yanks the fabric over my legs, tugging it completely off my ankles and tossing them to the side. She presses her face to my lower stomach, running her nose and lips along my inner thigh as she lifts one of my legs and lays it over her shoulder. "Not when you feel like this while I touch you. I can see how wet you are for me, I can taste your own cum on your thighs, Vibe Girl."

My eyes are on her while she speaks, my chest heaving so rapidly while my pussy pulses with a downright disgusting need to be filled by her. Shit, I'm desperate for it. This is what she means when she says that I'm quick to beg.

How the hell could I not?

Slowly, she hooks her fingers in the thin fabric of my neon pink G-string and tugs it to the side. The chilly air blows across my soaked core and my head falls back against the wall as I try to bite my own tongue and remain silent.

But she leans closer and the angle forces my legs even farther apart, revealing my clit for her and every cum-soaked centimeter of my pussy.

"P-please," I start as my legs begin trembling beneath her.

She tsks and I glance down to see her lips quirking up in that knowing smile. "Not yet, baby girl. You can't come yet."

Suddenly, she laps her full, flat tongue between my legs. She moves through in a single languid, sexual lick that lights my entire body on fire. I instantly fist the back of her head when she hits my clit, pressing her tongue flat against it and dragging it upward until she flicks it with the tip.

"Fuck," I breathe the word out between clenched teeth. "You can't do this to me."

"Eyes on me," she demands. Her tone is deadly, thick with desire and heavy with possession. "Watch me and I'll let you come."

I drop my head back down, my eyes reluctantly following the tilt as I try to hold myself together. I know seeing her on her knees in front of me like this, the way she has my thigh wrapped over her shoulder, how her head weaves in a rhythm that fucking destroys me while she eats me—it'll be too much. I won't be able to restrain my undoing.

And I'm right.

The second our eyes meet, there's one singular beat of our hearts and then she's back at it. She buries herself between my legs again, running her slick, wet tongue through my pussy as she devours me. She pulses inside of me, in and out, in and out, and I'm using every single ounce of my own strength to try and muffle my own moans.

I can't fucking watch this, I can't do it. I'm already near seconds away from coming and I'm not ready to let go just yet. She's so deep inside of me that I think she won't notice, so I quietly let my head fall back against the wall and lose myself to the feeling of her tongue lapping at my soaked core.

But immediately, one of her hands roughly launches upward and wraps tightly around my jaw, yanking my face back down toward her so I'm forced to watch.

"Ruby," I cry out as I roll my hips forward and begin fucking her face. "Fuck, please. Please let me come." I can see my cum on her mouth, on her cheeks, staining her lips.

I fucking love it.

I love knowing I'm marking her in the ways she marks me.

She owns me.

And I own her.

"I'm so close, please, I'm going to come baby." I whimper, the moans growing heavier and thicker and wilder the closer to the edge I get.

But she pulls away at the very last second, just as I'm about to slip over, and suddenly presses her body roughly against mine as she stands up. Her hand immediately falls to my core and she presses two fingers inside of me. She slides in so quickly, so deep, that I gaspout loudand fall forward into her.

Her hand snaps around the nape of my neck, twisting into the longer locks of my hair and forcing my head back so I have to look up at her.

"On the bed, now." She shoves me toward it and I stumble slightly, looking back at her in both confusion and intrigue. "Get on your hands and knees, Vibe Girl."

Quickly, I do exactly as I'm told. My body is writhing and aching for release, and at this point, I'd do anything Ruby ever asked of me if it meant I could come for her.

She crawls up behind me, her hands running up and down my thighs, my ass, and my spine possessively. Her fingers bite into my flesh and I hope I wake up tomorrow with little bruises of those touches I crave so deeply.

She yanks my head back by my hair, the sting exploding over my scalp when I cry out and face her slightly. Her lips crash against mine and she slips her cum-soaked tongue into my mouth. I lick myself off of her, tasting my own arousal like a second-hand hit to her addiction.

"Taste that?" she whispers between desperate plunges of her tongue and nips of her teeth. "You on me. Everything I do to you, how your body reacts—belongs to me. You're mine, Aura. Always mine."

"Forever yours, Ruby," I tell her, letting the words fall from my lips like a plead for mercy.My mind flashes back to a moment quite a long time ago, one where she voiced a very similar sentiment that has stayed with me ever since. My skin heats at the thought of it.

She drops one hand between my legs again, slipping into me from behind and thrusting forward. I roll my ass back until I'm straddling her knee, so she fucks me at the same time that I grind my clit against her thigh.

She knows this is one of my favorite ways to come. It's fucking euphoric, and as she shoves another finger inside me, fucking me hard and fast, I press my ass back and let that orgasm completely take control.

A wild and loud moan escapes me, and Ruby's quick to slam her hand over my mouth while I ride out the explosion on her thigh and fingers. I come on her, letting my legs fall even farther apart as she continues pumping inside of me.

"Fuck, Ruby," I bite out under the muffled hold of her palm. "Oh my God, I love coming for you."

Gently, she pulls out, just as I collapse on the bed beneath her. She leans over me, her deep, hypnotic eyes pouring into mine as she speaks. She knows exactly what she does to me.

"Good girl."
