Chapter Eleven

Poe

I couldn't relax until I knew Bailey was back home. Relief filled me when I heard her heels click across the foyer. Heard her go into the kitchen and then into Grim's room. But I still couldn't rest. Not with Raine roaming around in the shadows. Not without speaking to Bailey first.

We usually slept together, all of us, in Bailey's room. So being in separate beds tonight felt strange. Like I was missing a limb or something. There was a deep ache festering that made me sick to my stomach.

A light knock rapped on the door. "Come on in, Bailey." I could smell her sweet scent as soon as she approached.

The door creaked open, and she sauntered in, dressed in silk pajamas. "Hi," she purred. She looked tired but the smile on her face loosened the knot in my chest.

I patted the bed, motioning for her to sit next to me. "Hi, beautiful."

She curled up next to me, her sweet scent invading my senses even stronger. "I missed you."

I wrapped my arm around her. "I take it you and Grim made up. Did he apologize?"

She giggled, her breath hitching. "Yes, he certainly did."

I chuckled. Knowing Grim, I'm sure he went above and beyond groveling. And seeing how she was clenching her thighs together, he most likely did it in the most devious way.

"Good. How was your night with Maureen? You two have fun?" Bailey was a hard woman to read. She kept so much locked away in that beautiful head of hers.

She nodded against my chest and took a few deep breaths. "It was nice being back in my old house. So many memories there." She threw a leg over mine. "I told Maureen everything. And she was so supportive. I should have confided in her ages ago."

I planted a kiss on the top of her head. "That's fucking awesome, Bailey. I knew she wouldn't let you down. It's good to have friends like her. Friends like that will never abandon you."

She sat up and looked into my eyes. "Are they still mad at you?"

I loved how selfless she was. Always thinking about everyone else's happiness before her own. "Don't worry about us, little fox. We've had many fights over the years. Nothing we can't come back from."

"Have you seen… him since I've been gone?" Her eyes were wide with curiosity, not fear. That told me what I had been suspecting. She wasn't afraid of Raine. She was afraid of how we'd react to her asking about him.

I nodded. "I did. He came in here, asking about you. "

She sighed. "Why didn't you tell me about him before, Poe? I don't understand."

My heart ached. I hated that I kept secrets from her. "I don't know. No. That's not true. I thought that if I said his name out loud then it would summon him to you. As I told Grim and Saint, I never saw him before you moved in. Mrs. Wickford confessed to me one night that she killed her husband. She claimed he was abusive and that she did it in self-defense. I didn't know about ghosts or spirits at the time. I believed her, kept her secret, and thought that was fucking that."

Bailey pulled her legs up to her chest, curling herself into a ball. "And did he abuse her? Was any of that true?"

I could tell my answer was crucial to her decision on getting to know him, but I didn't have the answers she needed. "That's something you're going to have to ask Raine, yourself, little fox. All I know is that he started showing his face after you arrived. He's been watching you this whole time. Watching us . What's fucked up is that he's been here as long as me, and the guys and we never fucking knew. How he managed to stay hidden for so long is a mystery. I would have been bored out of my fucking mind if I were him."

She fidgeted with her hands, looking down at the sheets. "I think he was the one who pushed me into the door that night. On Halloween Eve when I set you three free. I kept trying to convince myself that I tripped but I know what I felt. Something shoved me forward, and I collided with the door so hard, it broke open."

I had suspected it myself but didn't want to say a word until I knew for sure. "I think Raine needed us to be free. He needed us to find you so that you could restore this house. And I think he wanted you from the moment he caught your scent on the stairs. You're not crazy, Bailey. I'm so sorry I let you think you were."

A long silence fell between us as she smoothed her hands back and forth over her legs. I watched her, desperate to know every thought that was racing through her brain. But I didn't want to push her. She'd already been through so much.

Finally, she looked up at me and smiled. "It's okay, Poe. I'm not mad at you. I understand that it came from a place of love and fear."

I pulled her back to my chest. "My sly little fox. I don't deserve you. None of us do."

Bailey slid her hand down my stomach, fingering the edges of my sweatpants. "Let me show you how much I missed you."

A rush of adrenaline spiked through my veins as her soft fingers dipped below my waistband and wrapped around my cock. My breath hitched. "Oh, how I fucking missed you, little fox."

She gripped my cock tight in her palm and stroked in slow movements, taking her time as she worked her way down to the tip.

"Let me see what you're doing down there." I pushed my sweatpants down and kicked them off.

"I love how hard you are for me, Poe," she rasped.

I spread my legs wide apart and gazed down, admiring my hard cock in her tiny hand. She moaned as if she were getting more pleasure than she was giving. I fucking loved that.

"Take off your pajamas." Her body was fucking gorgeous, and I wanted to see every inch of it while she touched me.

She removed her top and bottoms, making a slow and deliberate show of it. Her pink nipples pebbled as she climbed on top of me. There was something about her movements, her seduction, that stirred something deep inside me. I had defiled her plenty. I had done things to her that were unspeakable. But in this moment, all I wanted was the most sensuous parts of her.

She leaned down and pressed her lips to mine. I kissed her slowly, gently sucking on her lips and tongue. I moaned into her mouth as her nipples grazed my chest, tickling my every nerve. "Take control, little fox. Take whatever the fuck you want from me."

She moaned as she kissed my neck, tracing her tongue across my collarbone. My cells were on fire, my muscles burning from the slow friction. I caressed her back softly using only my fingertips. Goosebumps spread underneath them.

"Poe," she rasped. "You feel so good."

I wrapped my hand around her neck, gently without pressure. Just held it there as she rose and looked down at me with fire in her eyes.

"You're fucking perfect, my love."

She placed a hand on my stomach to steady herself and inched her fingers inside her pussy with her other hand. I almost fucking came right there. I watched as she played with her wet cunt. It was slow and gentle, and it drove me mad.

"Do you like this, Poe?" Her voice was deep and throaty. Like the ache that I felt in my chest.

I slid my hands down her chest and cupped her breasts, holding them without force. "Yes, little fox. Keep going just like that."

She slid her hand in between us and fisted my cock, rubbing the tip up and down her folds, moaning every time I pulsed.

"Mmm, baby, you're so wet. Fuck ." It was like torture and yet I loved every second of it. I hadn't even realized how much I needed this with her.

She lifted up and angled my cock to her entrance. I watched as she used one hand to part her pussy lips back and the other to insert the tip inside.

We both gasped as she slid all the way down to the base and stilled. I panted for breath as the heat of her pussy, the tightness, sent spasms up and down my shaft. I held her hips in place, careful not to move too much or else I'd cum in three seconds.

She bit her lower lip, sucking it into her mouth as she stretched her pussy around my cock. "I can feel every inch of you… Fuck ."

I locked eyes with her, the carnal ache inside me growing. "I love filling you."

She let out a little whimper as I throbbed inside her. I grabbed her hips and gently rocked them forward. "Oh, shit. Yeah . "

She ground her clit against my abdomen as I guided her body. I was so fucking deep inside her. It was different from any other time before. The softness, the slow and gentle way we rocked together, it was as if we were no longer separate. We were one being consumed, swallowing each other whole as if time didn't exist and there was no space left between us.

Bailey lifted herself and pulled back slowly, holding herself in place as she teased the tip of my cock with her entrance. Fucking hell, it was the most erotic thing I'd ever felt in my life.

"Fuck, Bailey, what are you doing to me?" I closed my eyes. I didn't want to watch, for once. I wanted to feel , to smell, to taste every fucking piece of her. My senses were so heightened, I could barely breathe. Could barely hold it together.

"Don't cum yet," she breathed. "Let it build until you think you might die unless you release it."

She glided back down, and it took every ounce of willpower I had not to explode. I bit down hard on my lip and moaned. Sweat glistened down her chest as she rode me. The pressure began to build again, threatening to destroy me at my core.

"Little fox… fuck . I'm going to cum if you keep moving like that." I was so fucking close. The blood was rushing down my shaft, sending tiny shivers to my balls, down my thighs, and all the way back to my ass.

She stilled herself. "Deep breaths. Relax."

I nodded and licked my lips, tasting blood from where I'd bitten down. I felt my chest rise with each quivering breath I took to try and steady myself.

After a few minutes, I nudged her hips forward.

" That's a good boy ," she whispered.

Fuck. When I told her to take control, I had no idea she'd be so fucking hot doing it. All this time I thought being the dominant one was what got me off, but now… fucking hell, this was what did it for me. I was more turned-on than I'd ever been .

With my cock buried deep inside her, Bailey rubbed her pussy in circles against the base, moaning as she stimulated her clit. Her juices poured out like a dam breaking. I reached up and gently pinched her nipples.

"Yeah, ride me just like that." We rocked back and forth, increasing our pace.

She lifted her hips again, sliding up to the tip and back down again with more force this time. The pressure began to build all over again, my blood racing against my pulse. "I'm gonna burst, little fox. Gonna fill you so fucking full of my cum."

She screamed and clenched around me as her cheeks flushed. I squeezed her hips and pulled them down. We pounded into each other so hard I thought our bones might break.

She whined and moaned as her orgasm ripped through her. " Uhhh… Poe. Fuuck ."

Shivers raced down my shaft as my cum shot forward like a thousand stars exploding. So much cum, hot and thick. It wouldn't stop. I unleashed into her, twisting, and thrusting deeper as she clenched around me with equal force.

"Oh shit… I can't stop." My cock spasmed again, and another rush of cum spilled out. She had taken me to the edge, over-stimulating me to the point where I no longer had control of my body.

Bailey slid up and down my cock as she panted. " Yes , good boy ."

My heart felt like it was going to explode out of my chest as I rammed my cock against her G-spot. "I want to blow your fucking back out, little fox, fuck."

She released a deafening scream as she collapsed on top of me. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight. We stilled and gazed back at each other, wild-eyed, our chests heaving.

"I'm… I have no words… except fuck," I rasped.

Her cheeks were flushed, her nipples still hard, and her cum continued to ooze out of her, mingling with mine. " Fuck is right. Holy shit, Poe. That was… insane. "

My heart still pounded. She'd never looked more beautiful than she did right now. I scooted over. "Come over here," I murmured.

Bailey climbed underneath the sheets and nestled in next to me. "Poe, my love… my good boy."

Mmm, there was that fucking dominance in her again and it turned me all the way on. And now I wanted to spend every second buried in that soaking wet pussy of hers. I just wanted to fucking live there.

"Forever yours, my love. Always."

She was sound asleep in minutes. As I lay there breathless, and in awe, for a little longer, I sensed another presence in the room.

Raine.

The fact that he was just showing up now made me think he might not be a complete psycho. He was checking up on her. Watching her sleep as we'd all done before.

I let out a sigh, deciding to ignore him. If he wanted to sit there all night, so be it. Nothing was going to ruin my perfect night with Bailey. I rolled over and tucked her into my chest. "Goodnight, little fox."
