Page 74 of Crush's Fall

The kiss wasn’t wet and urgent, like normal. Instead, it was a brush of lips meant to let him know she appreciated him. When she pulled back and saw the pride in his eyes, she knew the message was received.

“Thank you,” she whispered.

He gave a nod and took her hand. Giving it a squeeze, he replied, “You don’t need to thank me, Sugartits. Just taking care of my sis, here.”

Crush rolled her eyes and walked away, letting the smile grow inside of her as her tiger purred.

“She has the best ass,” she heard Lucifer utter behind her, which made Halo giggle.

Biting the inside of her cheek to keep from smiling, Crush approached Axle standing at the end of the bar. “Thank you for taking care of Halo.”

“I had Doc Janson come.” He sighed. “Crush, I… We…” He cursed under his breath. “When I offered our backup, I didn’t mean that you couldn’t handle it. I’m sorry if that’s how it came across. Same with Dragon. We don’t mean to diminish your abilities.”

Crush just stared at him. She’d heard it before.

“After what Lucifer said to Bullet, I guess… we didn’t realize how it came across. So, I’m sorry. In the future, we’ll wait for you to ask for help. Just know you have a standing offer from us.”

Crush gave a nod in acknowledgement. “What did Lucifer say to Bullet?”

Bullet walked up and stopped at their sides. “That I need to pull my head out of my ass and see things from your point of view. That my club and I have always expected the Claws to take our lead, and that’s fucking bullshit because you are capable of handling shit and making decisions. And he was right.” Bullet sighed and shook his head. “I’m sorry, Sis. In an attempt to protect you, I went overboard… we all have.”

“I love you, Bull, but I don’t need your fucking protection,” she said and crossed her arms over her chest, staring her brother down.

“I forget sometimes.”

“Well, stop fucking forgetting.” She turned her head to look over her shoulder at Lucifer, who was still hanging with Halo. “Excuse me.” Without waiting for a reaction from them, she headed over to Lucifer and grabbed his hand. When she began to pull, he willingly climbed off the table.

“Guess I’m needed,” he said on a chuckle as he followed her through the room and down the hall.

Crush shoved through the door of the women’s restroom and started looking under the stall doors. Finding it empty, she nodded to the door. “Lock it.”

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Lucifer

Luciferwasn’tsurewhatwas happening, but he was curious enough to do what Crush said. Still holding on to her hand with one of his, he used his free hand to turn the lock on the bathroom door.

As soon as the bolt of the lock slid into place, Crush was on him. She let go of his hand, and her arms went around his neck as her lips slammed against his. With a groan, he wrapped his arms around her and cupped her ass in his hands. His cock instantly hardened as her teeth bit down on his bottom lip and pulled.

“Fuck,” he moaned when she released it. He took her mouth in a deep, wet kiss, letting his tongue dive deep and play with hers, while he turned them and pressed her against the back of the bathroom door.

Her hands fisted in his hair as she tilted her head and let him make love to her mouth. He loved the bite of pain from her yanking on his hair or biting his lip or clawing at his skin. It amped up his pleasure and made his need for her grow.

When he broke the kiss to breathe, he uttered, “Not that I’m complaining, but what brought this on?”

“You told my brother off.” She nipped at his jaw.

Lucifer grinned. “I’ll tell him off every day if this is what I get for doing it.”

Crush didn’t reply. Instead, she dropped to her knees in front of him, and Lucifer nearly swallowed his tongue at the sight of her looking up at him.

As she went to work on unfastening his jeans and pulling them over his hips, along with his boxer briefs, Lucifer cupped her face in his hands and ran the pad of his thumb over her bottom lip. “Christ! You’re fucking beautiful,” he breathed.

Crush sucked that finger into her mouth, sending bolts of pleasure through him as she wrapped a hand around his erection and gave it a stroke. As he cursed from the feel of it, she released his thumb and leaned forward. Looking up into his eyes, she opened her mouth and slid him inside, making sure to let her tongue caress all the sensitive spots on his dick.

Lucifer let out a loud moan and slid his hands back to fist them in her hair. She wasperfection. The suction and the warmth of her mouth felt like heaven, but when she took him all the way back and kept going, he thought he would blow. Clenching his teeth, he fought against the rising climax.

After getting his cock wet and playing a bit, she pulled off and sucking him down again, setting a steady rhythm. As she took his breath away with her mouth, she lifted a hand and cupped his balls, giving them a gentle squeeze.
