main masterlist
Somewhere between Missouri and Illinois, last time you checked. Joel has the map, and you donât bother asking him to see it much. Youâve been following the Mississippi north, on his orders, looking to hit St. Louis sometime tomorrow. Provided you donât run into any trouble, that is.
Itâs been three days with no safe refuge. Camping out in deserted houses with wood for windowpanes, stores infested with rats, office buildings with infected roaming. Joel figures the outskirts of the city are a good spot to stop for a couple nights, regain your strength, find supplies.
Youâre a few paces ahead of him, only turning your head slightly when you notice an offramp, and looking back ahead when he doesnât give any direction. You weave in and out of abandoned cars, hips swaying with the clipping of your horseâs hooves on broken asphalt, Joelâs horse in time at your heels.
Youâd untethered the pair of them on a farm back in Nebraska. Joel had told you to stay put while he cleared the house, but youâd wandered over to the field when you spotted them. Timid, skittish, starving.
Five minutes hooked over the fence and they were both eating grass youâd pulled from the earth, right out of your hand. Joelâs heavy footsteps approaching had spooked them back a few steps, but youâd petted their muzzles and when he did the same, they soon warmed to him, too.
Heâd jerked his head in a nod and muttered, âGood job,â before finding two saddles, strapping them on, and helping you onto the chestnut brown one â who youâd named Jet.
Joel had found tins of food in the farmhouse, and a switchblade for you to carry. He had a new stain on his shirt.
âInfected?â you asked.
He grunted in reply. Then rolled the tins into his backpack and hoisted himself onto his own horse, giving her reins a tug.
You knew that meant that yeah, thereâd been infected inside. And recent, too, going by how well-kept the horses looked. It canât have been longer than a week.
Joelâs silence as you both wandered down the farm track probably meant that there werenât just adults in the house, either.
Youâd glanced over to him, giving him a small smile. Bent over and reached for his horseâs ears, scratching where her soft black coat met her mane. The reins lay loose around Joelâs knuckles.
Protecting and providing for you was more important than some infected kids in a farmhouse. Joel had made that more than clear over the time youâd been with him. But somewhere, buried deep underneath years of fighting and killing, tucked away under a dusty flannel shirt, you knew his heart was hurting.
That was two weeks ago. Joel hasnât talked about it, and youâre not interested in bringing it back up. Yâall got to the farm, took everything it had to offer, and you left.
Jet clicks her way along the highway somewhere south of the city. Itâs still bright out; Joel reckons probably a few more hours of sunlight, so you know heâll be scouting for places to camp out soon.
You lean back to stretch your spine, hand steadying yourself on Jetâs rump, her tail swishing as she walks. Her head bobs, looking from left to right, from the trucks with smashed windows sprouting moss, over to the trees losing leaves in the fall breeze.
Itâs peaceful. Not much is, these days.
Itâs quiet enough that Joel can listen for any sound of oncoming threat, and quiet enough that you can shut your eyes and pretend like youâre on some trail in the Texas country, on a warm summer evening; not exhausted, covered in dirt, weeks since you washed, days since you slept.
Youâre humming gently to yourself, imagination taking you down by a creek where Joel pulls you by hand off the horse and you sit down to a picnic or something. Heâd bring a basket. Maybe a bottle of wine, or a cheese board. Maybe he lays you back and kisses you on the blanket. Maybe his hand starts to wander up your thigh, skirt ruffling as he goesâŠ
âNot much out here, is there?â
His voice startles you, bursting the seams of your daydream. He isnât much of a talker, not unless you start it. You sit up straight and give your head a shake, as if dislodging the fantasy from your mind.
You twist around to look at his face; squinting under the bright white sky. Tired, same as you, lined, flecked with years and sun and survival.
âHm?â he asks when you still donât reply.
âNot a lot,â you finally say, clearing your throat and turning back to the road.
Finding the horses isnât the only thing thatâd happened two weeks ago.
Joel hadnât wanted to camp in the farmhouse, hadnât wanted to have to shift the bodies. Too much effort, or too much for you to see, maybe. Youâd protested, heart set on a nightâs sleep in an actual bed, but he hadnât budged.
And you knew not to push him.
The sun was setting, though, so Joel led you down a dirt track toward a barn and burst the padlock. He tied the horses up just inside the door, used bundled up hay as a makeshift mattress upon which he laid out a blanket for you.
He barricaded the door as you lay back, did a walkaround of the place just in case any infected â or worse â were waiting to surprise yâall, and then sat down next to you.
Your head by his thigh, you put a hand on his knee.
âYou can lie down, too, yâknow.â
He grunted in response, breathing deep and steady.
âJoel.â
You took his shoulder and tried to pull him down to you, but the man is stronger than anyone youâve ever met, even in his late forties, and you were convinced heâd only pretended to be yanked toward you so as not to hurt your feelings too much.
He remained upright. âJust want to keep watch for a while.â
Joelâs like this when youâre on the road. Heâs cautious. On high alert. Always watching ahead, always listening out for whatever he thinks he might hear in the distance. Sometimes you can say something to him and have to give his leg a kick for him to answer you.
Youâd sighed and pushed yourself up to lean your bicep against his. He furrowed his brows and scanned you from your jeans to your jaw.
âIf youâre up, Iâm up,â you told him.
âYou need sleep,â he replied flatly.
You shrugged. âSo do you.â
âWhat good is both of us tired?â
You sighed again and shook your head. You werenât gonna argue with him.
Good thing he didnât feel much like arguing, either. Ten minutes later he was on top of you, jeans loose on his thighs, head buried in your shoulder, fucking you senseless. Grunting and groaning into your skin.
Youâd scored marks into his shoulder blades with your nails that youâre sure, if you peeled back his shirt right now, would still be there.
Itâd tired you both out enough that Joel settled with your head on his chest, his hand in your hair, eyes trained on the barn doors. You donât know if he slept a wink. You never know if he sleeps these days.
Joel hears the hoarseness of your voice and knows that youâre tired, âcause he clicks to his horse and she trots up alongside you and Jet. He pulls the map from his backpack. You tilt your head to take a look.
âKeep ridinâ for another hour,â he mumbles. ââm sure weâll find somewhere soon. Looks like weâre still a little way out of St. Louis.â
You nod, rolling your head back. The cloudy sky burns your corneas as you watch a bird fly overhead. Joel slips the map back into his bag and you feel his hand on your thigh.
âYou okay?â
âMhm. Tired,â you whisper.
âOnly a little while longer.â He gives your leg a small squeeze and his hand returns to the reins. He doesnât fall back, instead, stays ambling along by your side. It feels like company. Feels nice. FeelsâŠnormal.
Two weeks is a long fucking time. Especially when your adrenaline peaks on the regular, sometimes multiple times in one day, and youâre alone with Joel all day and all night. Trusting each other, relying on each other. Saving each other time and time again. It was only natural that you began to rely on each other forâŠmore than just survival.
You canât remember when you found him. It was in the QZ, back when you believed in stability and structure. When you believed in people. Now, the only thing you believed in was Joel. Broken, hurt, shut-off Joel, whoâd grumbled an apology when his shoulder brushed yours in the hallway and changed everything.
You like to think you were something new to him, something different. A challenge, maybe. Something worth holding onto, anyway, for reasons he was yet to let you in on.
He had an apartment of his own, with a bed of his own, which was something you werenât used to. You shared a cramped apartment with Luce, a single mom with a two-year-old. Joelâs was where you went when the tantrums, the screaming in the middle of the night, the ration cards being destroyed either by ripping, by eating, or else by other means, became too suffocating.
Joel didnât believe in anything or anyone, either. Thatâs what kept you coming back.
Heâd just open his door and step aside to let you in. Barely a word. Heâd ask if youâd eaten, and share his plate with you either way. Wordlessly picking away at the same food, making sure you got the last spoonful of soup, the last strip of jerky.
Most nights heâd fuck you until your mind went blank, nothing but the smell of him, feel of him, sound of him. No talking, no kissing, no touching. Just the sound of the bed springs, Joelâs soft groans as he bottomed out inside you. The feel of his hot skin, hips rubbing against the inside of your thighs. The bare, cracked brick walls of his apartment would fade away with each thrust, and then slowly seep back in when your orgasm began to wash away.
You knew it was time-wasting, for both of you. Scratching an itch. But some nights, it felt like more. The nights when heâd be so caught up in what he was doing, so caught up in you, that heâd forget to pull out. The nights his hips would snap messily and suddenly he was spilling inside of you, a deep groan humming against your skin between his teeth.
He wouldnât care to ask, and you wouldnât offer the information for free, but you remember every fucking time he did it. Where itâd happened, the position he had you in, how long it took for him to finally peel his body off of yours.
And afterwards, heâd let you sleep with your head on his chest. Let you play with his fingers. Let you talk to him; let you ask questions.
Didnât mean he answered all of them. Didnât even mean he answered much. Some, heâd give away more openly than others, but you soon got used to clocking when he was keeping a secret. Make a mental note of it, remember to chip away at it.
He trusted you, though; you knew that. Knew it by the way his fingers knotted safely in your hair, the way heâd lie naked with you until the sun came up. The way his breathing would slow, the way heâd mumble in his sleep.
You never talked to him about the incoherent words heâd breathe â but you could piece them together well enough to understand him better than his waken self would ever reveal.
When you brought up leaving, one rainy night weeks ago, he thought about it maybe twice over. Asked how he was supposed to keep you safe.
You do that already, you told him.
âs different outside. You donât understand.
It canât be any worse than in here.
Youâd taken a step forward, and heâd flinched, but allowed you to take his strong jaw in your hands. You tried to form a sentence, and when your throat closed up, eyes flitting between his, he took your wrists and lowered them. The shadow of a rain-spattered window doused in a sickly amber glow across his face.
Youâd wanted to kiss him. And had he left your hands where they were just a few seconds longer, you think you mightâve. Joel saw it in your eyes, and stopped it.
Whatever. It had still convinced him. He packed his bag and you snuck down the fire escape the following night. Joelâs fingers were hooked around your belt loop the entire time, keeping your hip in stride with his all the way until you were at least a hundred feet away from the QZ wall.
His other concern was his age. Why someone like you would want to run away with someone like him. Forty-something, graying, past his peak. He has, like, twenty years on you. Once he made some reference about Bruce Springsteen and, when your face blanked, he sighed and took the bridge of his nose between his fingers.
I know who Bruce Springsteen is, asshole, youâd said, just didnât get that reference.
Heâd shaken his head and given you a sly, twisted smirk, then pushed you out the door of the apartment block you guys were searching.
Still, despite the years between you, you have one major thing in common.
Youâre both good at getting each otherâŠthere.
Joel knows exactly what to do to make you tick. You know exactly how to push him until he does it. Itâs in the way you look at him, the way you touch him. Things you say that make his stony eyes flit once down your body, and then you know youâre in.
Itâs a little harder to do while on horseback, you gotta admit. The best you can do is look at him, say a sentence or two laced with want and need. Hope that he reads through the lines.
Itâs worked a few times, when Joelâs suddenly found a shed or basement you can camp out in and then made it difficult for you to walk for the next couple days.
Right now, you feel too tired to even bat your eyelashes at him, never mind coming up with lines to turn him on. Youâve been on the highway for a few hours by this point, little sign of shelter anywhere nearby. Joel holds his hand out and you bring your horses to a stop in view of a hospital a couple miles ahead.
âThatâs gotta be teeminâ with them,â you say, looking over to study his expression.
âHm,â Joel agrees, and glances to the right.
âWhat you thinkinâ? Sunâs getting lower.â
He takes a deep breath, pulls on the reins. âKnow somewhere nearby.â
He heads off the highway with a click of his teeth, and you follow. You shut your eyes, chin burying beneath the collar of your shirt. Youâd kinda hoped that heâd offer to clear even a small part of the hospital for you to rest up, maybe more, but you trust him enough to lead you somewhere safer, somewhere quieter.
That trust begins to wear thin, though, when the sun disappears behind the trees, drowning you guys in a low dusk, and the temperature begins to fall. Joelâs using whatâs left of the gray light to guide him, slowing down to take a hold of Jetâs reins and line her up with his own horse.
âI thought you said an hour,â you mumble, grip becoming slack on the leather.
âChanged my mind,â he replies. âAlmost there.â
Your eyes start to roll with exhaustion, hips aching from the position youâve been sat in for hours now. Itâs not until you notice the silhouette of a tall sign in the clearing, black against the fading purple sky, that you blink yourself awake.
Joel pulls you and Jet off the road to a deserted parking lot, shadowed by a motel. He slows the horses down, listening for any signs of life, leading them to the side of the building.
âEasy,â he whispers, pulling on the reins. Both animals come to a halt.
He slides off the saddle, hitting the ground with a thud. He takes your hands, pulling you down to him, and you glance around.
âStay here,â he tells you, and you donât have the energy to argue back.
He makes off, pulling his gun from his holster. You stand with a hand on each horseâs muzzle, gently petting. Joelâs gone for a decent amount of time, his silhouette slowly sneaking in and out of every room, spending a couple minutes in each before he clears it.
He returns with a box of pills, some gauze, and a bottle of water, which he hands to you. You take a long swig and pass it back, and he does the same.
âWhat will we do with Jet ânâŠ?â
âHuh?â he asks, replacing the cap on the half-empty bottle.
âWhatâs your horse called?â
âShe ainât got a name.â
You tsk. âBad owner.â
âWe ainât their owners.â
âMineâs is Jet. Pick a name.â
Joel sighs and shakes his head, but you know heâs gonna spend all night thinking up some name to go with yours. âWeâll tie âem up out here.â
âWhat if something happens to them?â
âWell,â he says, leading them toward the shelter, âif somethinâ happens to them, it only means itâs about thirty seconds away from happeninâ to us.â
He jerks his head toward the first room as he ties them up, and you know the conversation is over.
You wander into the small, dingy room, pulling your jacket from your shoulders. It smells of damp, the wallpaperâs peeling off the wall above the bed. The sheets are in disarray, a little dusty, but they look clean enough. The bathroom walls are covered in grime. Drawers empty, closet doors missing, entire place ransacked.
Itâs as good as you get, these days. At least it has a solid roof.
Joel settles the horses and closes the door gently behind himself. Youâre already tugging your boots off, sat at the foot of the bed.
He rests his gun on the nightstand and straightens up, stretching his back with a quiet groan.
ââs cozy,â you offer, and he nods.
âBetter ân risking that hospital.â
The bedsprings creak when you shimmy up the mattress, resting your back against the hardwood headboard. It ainât the most comfortable, but then itâs not meant to be, is it? Itâs only meant to be safe, which Joelâs made sure of.
He stands at the bottom of the bed, watching you as you bounce up and down a couple times, laughing quietly at the sound of the springs beneath you. His expression clouds over under low brows.
âYâokay?â you ask, tilting your head.
He nods again. Eyes flitting up and down, from your face to your neck, back up, and then lower still. Your chest. Your stomach. Your legs. You feel your heartbeat quicken when he takes a step forward.
âJust had to find somewhere better.â
âBetter?â You smile. âHave you seen the world, Miller?â
He leans his knee against the foot of the bed. His brown eyes darken even more, and his jaw tenses.
âHad to find somewhere better,â he mutters, âso I could fuck you in peace.â
Your breath catches. You stare from his lips back up to his eyes. His fists are balled tight. His chest heaves with steady panting. Thereâs something flickering in the depths of those warm eyes; an ember, drawing you in. Tantalizing you.
You sit forward, pushing onto all fours, and crawl down the groaning bed to him, rising onto your knees when your hands meet his shirt. Your chest against his stomach, you look up into his eyes.
His rough hands knot in your hair and he pulls down, yanking your head back and your chin up to him. He studies your face, outlined in the moonlight seeping through the window. Then he lowers his jaw and lines his lips against yours.
âThat what you want?â he hums against your mouth. You swallow his words â they claw at your throat as they go.
âUhuh,â you breathe back, trying to connect your lips. He doesnât allow you; steadily dodges your jaw like youâre a pair of negative magnets, repelling off one another. You moan.
âNeedy girl,â Joel whispers. âTwo weeks too long for you?â
âMhm.â
Youâre not tired anymore. Youâre fucking desperate. You feel your cunt dripping, seeping through your underwear, worsened when Joelâs hand reaches down between your legs and cups you through your jeans.
You gasp and grab his arms to steady yourself.
âTell me what you want,â he says, hand tensing around your core.
Your lip trembles as you watch the way his mouth moves, how he shapes the words. His teeth locked between soft lips, dappled with brown hair, ends singed gray. The way he almost spits the words.
Your chest meets his torso when you breathe in, a deep, shaky breath. Joel notices; the corners of his mouth twitch, holding back a smile.
âWant you toâŠwant youâŠâ
He doesnât wait for you to finish your sentence. He pushes you back and falls on top of you, strong body pinning you against the mattress, hand still clamped to your crotch.
His head dips to your neck where he bites, scratches and sucks, mumbling against your hot skin, âTell me, baby. Use your words.â
Your head begins to swim, body starts pulsing with electricity. Baby. Joelâs pet names are limited to one thing. One activity.
âWant you to fâ fuck, Joel â fuck me.â Fuck me fuck me fuck me.
His hand begins wrestling with the button of your jeans. Thick fingers fumbling with your zipper, taking your waistband with both hands and hauling it down. The force of it pulls you down the mattress too, squealing as Joel rips the denim from your legs. You lower your hands to help him, but once theyâre tossed to the floor, he bats you away.
Heâs shaking his head, tsking, then takes both your wrists in one of his huge hands. Fingers twisted around your delicate skin, pinning them above your head. The bed sighs around you when he pushes your hands into the mattress. Your back arches, your chest rising to meet his.
Your legs part, knees settling either side of his waist. Of course they do. Itâs what you know now. Itâs basic fucking instinct at this point.
His free hand returns to cup your sex, feeling how wet you are through your now soaked underwear.
âBaby,â he coos, âthis all for me?â
You nod a little too eagerly, not that youâre present enough to care. But it beckons a smug smile from Joel, who begins sliding your panties down your thighs.
Your hips lift to let him drag the fabric down, biting your lip, not willing to wait another fucking second for him. Lace meets denim on the torn-up floor, and you sigh, settling back against the rusty bedsprings and mottled sheets.
Joelâs free hand ghosts from your wrist down to your elbow, teetering along the sleeve of your t-shirt over to the collar, where he pulls it so far down into the valley between your breasts that a small noise passes your lips.
âHm?â he asks, fingers pausing against your breastbone.
ââs my only shirt. DonâtâŠâ
He kisses his teeth. His gaze never lifts from your heaving chest, skin damp with sweat right underneath his fingers. You can see him tossing it over in his head. What he wants to do, versus what he probably shouldnât.
He blinks. Decision made.
âGive you one of mine,â he growls, and hooks his fingers, dragging the fabric of your shirt lower and lower until the collar tears open and itâs another scrap lost to the motel room floor.
And then there you are, naked and writhing underneath him. Heâs still in his dusty flannel. Thereâs sweat lining his forehead. He holds himself over you, hovering, taking every inch of you in and storing it behind his eyes.
You jerk your hands, trying to break free just to touch him, feel him, but he pulls away again, tutting.
âNo, pretty girl,â Joel coos, âgonna take my time with ya.â
You moan in protest, still wriggling under his body. His grip on your wrists doesnât loosen, not even when his free hand dips to undo his belt. The cold metal kisses your naked thighs when he pulls it through his jeans; the leather drags up your torso and across your face as he lifts it.
He takes your hands individually, careful and yet rough, urgent, and slots them between the slats of the headboard. Your head turns up to watch what heâs doing. The silver of his belt buckle knocks against the wood as he slips it under your wrists, feeding it between your skin and the mattress, wrapping it around the slat between your hands.
Then he slips the belt through the buckle, and pulls. Tight. Your hands come together, wrists kissing, the leather burning your skin the tighter he pulls. You whine, head rolling back to meet his gaze, fixed on yours.
âSince you donât wanna listen.â
The drip in his voice, sweet like honey, smooth as whiskey, forces your legs open wider. Joel smirks, pushing himself down the mattress and out of your view.
Staring up at the gray ceiling, youâre left just to feel him. Feel him as his palms splay out on your knees, pushing them into the bed. Feel his stubble graze the inside of your thigh as he drags his tongue up, leaving a trail of wet behind.
Feel when he breathes a whisper across your aching cunt, something you canât hear over the ruffling of sheets around your head as you toss around. And feel when his fingers part your lips, opening you up wide for him to really fucking see.
âFuck, baby,â he says, and you find the strength to lift your head to watch. Heâs leant over you, one arm hooked around your left thigh, holding it open, the other fuckingâŠplaying with you. Like youâre some fancy gadget. Like youâre brand new to him.
âSo,â he runs two fingers from your clit through your folds, âfuckinâ,â lines them up at your entrance, âpretty â for me.â
He pushes up into you, and your head hits the pillow with a stifled groan. Youâre panting through your teeth, back arching the deeper he goes, stretching you out and rocking waves of sparkling heat through you. Waves that hit the other end of your stomach and come rippling back, throbbing around his thick fingers.
His arm bears down on your thigh, forcing your legs wide open for him. His hand cups your clit and you buck your hips, rutting against the base of his palm. Joel laughs softly.
âPatience, darlinâ. Donât want it to be over âfore itâs even started.â
Your head rocks back and forth, eyes tight shut. Itâs all you can fucking do, tied tight to the bed. Joel pumps his fingers in and out of you, adding a third when youâre wet enough, thumb never leaving your clit.
You can feel your orgasm brewing in your stomach. Feel the tension between your hips. Youâre chasing it, eyes shut, focusing only on Joelâs hand fucking in and out, in and out. Youâre coming close, body pushing into the mattress, legs widening even more to let him slip a fourth finger inside you.
âFeel good?â he asks, almost with a laugh. Thereâs a smirk painted across his lips, you know it, even though you canât find the energy to open your eyes.
You whimper in response, some small, muffled sound roughly shaped like yeah.
âYeah,â Joel agrees, and his wrist flicks harder.
You moan every time his fingertips kiss the edge of your cunt, pushing against the soft walls. You moan when he drags them out, leaving you empty. Again, when he pushes them back in, rough and fast. And then when he lowers his lips to your ear and tells you how good youâre being, how pretty you look, how hard heâs gonnaâŠ
Itâs like he changes his mind in an instant.
Withdraws his hand, slick-covered and still hooked. Pulls it away as quickly as he pulls your orgasm from your body. It drains from you; reduces back to an ache you canât reach.
Joel slips his fingers between his lips as he readjusts himself, repositioning on the squealing mattress. Sucks them clean as casually as he would at a cookout or something, then takes your hips in both hands and straightens you up.
His jeans are tugged down barely past his ass. Heâs not prepared to waste any time ripping his own clothes off like he did yours. Just leans forward, pulls his solid cock from his boxershorts, and spits into his hand.
You watch through eyes glazed with lust as he strokes himself a couple times, eyes always on your swollen cunt, groaning as his spit coats his shaft. Then he lowers himself to you and does the same, only running his length through your folds.
You whine, feeling that familiar thickness separate you so close to where you need him, and yet so fucking far.
âJoelâŠâ you whisper, but heâs not listening.
Transfixed on the sight of his cock moving against your soaked cunt. Listening to the sweet, wet sounds the pair of you make. His tip catches on your entrance a couple times and you gasp. Just fucking do it already.
âFuck,â Joel growls under his breath, and thenâŠ
Itâs been months. Might even be years. But the feeling of him pushing inside you for the first time is still the same. Every. Fucking. Time. Heâs bigger, thicker than anyone youâve ever slept with before. And he knows it, because every single time, he glides into you without hesitation. No time for you to adjust. Just fills you up straight away, lets you deal with it later.
Heâs cocky like that. Too careful when youâre on the road, and too careless when youâre between the sheets. Not that youâre fuckinâ complaining.
Your mouth falls open in a choked moan. Your lungs are gasping for air. Joelâs all you can feel.
Your elbows lift into the air, arms desperate to break free just to grab onto him, ground yourself, feel him close against you. Your wrists lock against the hardwood, leather digging into your skin as punishment for trying to break free. Youâre stuck; nothing but the overwhelming feeling of him between your legs, filling you up and leaving you empty over and over again.
âGood girl,â heâs panting, still watching where his cock lines up with your cunt, and then disappears inside.
He leans down and his lips find home on your shoulder, sucking sweet marks into the skin like he always does. His tip bumps against your cervix, jolts of sensitivity pushing through you each time he bottoms out causing you to whine into his flannel.
âFuck, Joel.â
âI know, I know. I got you. Iâll get you there again, baby.â
You had a routine. Follow his movements, follow his orders, stay alive. Deviate slightly from that routine, even for a minute, and you threw the whole agreement into jeopardy. One misstep on a crowded street dotted with cars once had a sniper open firing at you both for nearly two hours until Joel found him and put a bullet between his eyes. That time your curiosity got the better of you and Joel almost lost a hand stopping you from walking down an alleyway and straight into a wire trap.
Repeat it, Joel had said that night. Crouched by his apartment window, rain battering off the glass. Hands on the frame, ready to hoist it up and let you slip out any second. Repeat. It.
Do as you say, you whispered back. And only then did he pull the sash.
This is not the fucking routine. This is not the agreement. You fucked, of course you did. But thatâs all it ever was. Hungry, touch-starved, desperate sex. Bored sex. We-almost-died-today sex. Not this.
Not: clear an entire motel just so nothing within a two-mile radius gets to hear you fuck me senseless. Strip me down, tie me up, push me to the edge with your hands, but donât let me go without you. Curl your lips around my ear while youâre buried inside me and whisper praises. Whisper baby. WhisperâŠanything you like. Anything you wouldnât say when the sunâs up.
This feels like it means something. To both of you. Feels like Joelâs looking for something in you, asking something of you. And you want to give it to him, whatever it is.
And maybe thatâs the point.
Heâs proving that he could make you do fucking anything. Let him tie you to a bedframe, push you close enough to the edge that you can feel the pressure of release beckoning you forward like the wind circling your ankles.
And youâre proving that youâll do it. Youâll do what he says. Follow him to the edge, refuse to jump. Pull his body into yours, make it feel like home for a night.
Heâs proving that heâll take care of you, and youâre proving that youâll let him.
Your wrists are burning. Leather digging marks, searing skin, then rubbing over it again and again to cut it deeper. Itâs starting to hurt, if youâre honest with yourself. Your face probably gives it away.
Probably, possibly. Definitely.
Joel notices you quieten and lifts his head from the crook of your neck. Studies your face for a fraction of a second and knows.
âHey,â he says, reaching up. He loosens the belt with one hand whilst still deep inside you, hips thrusting slowly just as a place marker.
When your hands slip free, Joelâs clasp gently around your wrist, fingers delicate over the sensitive, reddened skin. His eyes almost glisten at the sight.
âBabyâŠâ he whispers.
ââs okay,â you reassure him, loosening his grasp on you and settling your shaky hands on his jaw. âIâm okay. Liked it.â
Joel lowers his forehead against yours and picks his pace up again, and you moan into the space between your lips. Your legs lift higher, knees bumping against his shoulders. His hips snap into yours, his jeans rutting against the inside of your thighs, the bed creaking with each messy thrust.
âClose, baby,â his voice vibrates against your lips.
âYeah,â you whine, chest pushing against his. âFuck. Right there. Fuck.â
Your arm drapes over his shoulder blades, nails dig into the rough cotton of his shirt. Your left hand is still at his jaw, fingers caressing his cheek. Joined together at your hips and your brows, gaze never really meeting for longer than a second, but still. Youâre right there. Joel â heâs right there.
Itâs new, itâs intimate. Itâs almostâŠsweet.
âGonna cum with me?â he asks, sincerely. Heâs not trying to coax it out of you. Heâs checking that you want to fall over the edge. Not for him, not because of him, but with him.
You nod and he returns it, sweat sticking his dark hair to his forehead.
With his eyes on you, flitting between your parted lips and your batting eyelashes, too scared to settle on either place for too long, he lifts your hips and fucks into you fast. Deep. Fucking â hard. Skin slapping against yours, breath hot and tangling with yours between your lips.
The pressure between your hips begins to build again, rapidly, Joel adding to it with every movement. Every push of his thick cock against your walls only draws them in tighter, closing around him, holding him closer to you with each moan escaping both your lips.
âDarlinââŠâ he murmurs in a broken voice, and you know. Heâs starting to falter. Thrusts weakening.
ââm there too,â you reply, gasping for breath.
âLet me â feel you,â he says, âpretty girl.â
Maybe itâs the fact you donât normally talk. Maybe the fact he never touches you the way he has tonight. Maybe itâs him wanting you to cum first, before he will.
Or maybe itâs pretty girl, that finally sends you over.
You look so good to him. Youâre being so good for him. ân he canât help it, has to let you know. Has to let every thought that passes through his head slip out past his tongue.
Pulling his chest flat against yours, you throw your head back to the pillow with a moan so filthy, so guttural that youâd be surprised if you donât have company in five minutes.
Joelâs at your heels, face buried between your breasts, groaning into your chest as his cock twitches deep inside you and you feel him fill you up.
Your orgasmâs still knocking you senseless, every nerve in your body electrified. Youâre holding Joel tight to your body, his ear flat to your chest, and you know he can hear your heartbeat. Know heâs listening to it throwing punches from behind your ribcage.
Heâs still groaning through his breaths, heavy and thick with his release. Cock still deep inside you, still, softening. You lay like that forâŠwell, youâve no idea how long. But after a bit, Joel pulls himself up off of you and wanders into the bathroom.
You sit up on your elbows, taking deep, steady breaths, and let the stars in your vision dissipate. Joel emerges a couple minutes later and finally tugs his jeans down. He lifts both his shirt and the tee underneath off in one motion, tossing them onto the sideboard, then slips back under the covers, wordlessly hooking a hand around your upper arm and pulling you down onto his chest.
Your legs intertwine with his. Thereâs cum seeping out of you onto his thigh. Both of you, mixed up as one. His fingers sift through your hair, doing little to untangle it but trying all the same. His breathing in time with yours, his lips pressed safely to the crown of your head.
Before you know it, youâre sleeping.
Dawn breaks early. Too early. Youâre still tangled up in Joel, feeling his chest rise and fall. Listening to his heartbeat â slow, calm. The drapes â not that thereâs much left of them â are too thin to stop any light from flooding in. Itâs only a matter of time before he wakes up.
The rough sheets sting against your wrists â red marks scoring them where Joelâs belt had been. You wince, running light fingers over the grazes, hissing at your fingertips as they go.
It hurts way less than it thrills you. This little reminder of what you did last night. What Joel did. The pain subsides the longer you touch the scars, knitted brows melting into a smile.
You slowly lift your head, propping yourself up on your elbow. Just watching him. The dust in the room frames him in a sea of white glitter, the slow-emerging sun lights across his face and dips where the scar on his nose sits.
His arms are still around your waist, cradling you. Holding you to him. You know heâs stirring when they tighten, and then fall loose. Façade back up. Walls slowly rebuilding.
You dress yourselves in silence. Run out of words to say. There ainât nothing to say â nothing that wasnât said last night. Joel sinks into the mattress beside you to tie his laces, and your arms brush against one another a couple times. Itâs like fire on ice.
Heâs first to leave the room. Just pulls his jeans over his boots and stands, unlocks the door and lets the light flood in. You check once over for anything left behind, and slip out. The air is cool, twilight still slowly washing away. You sling your jacket over Jetâs back and pull yourself up.
Joelâs t-shirt is loose over your shoulders. He gave you a fresh one from his bag. It smells like him, but you donât let him see when you bury your nose into it to breathe him in. The hem bunches up over the top of your thighs once youâre sat on the horse.
His eyes scan down you once, surveying you in hisshirt. Then he swerves off back toward the road, silhouette cutting between the rays of sun streaming between the pine trees.
âGhost,â he tosses over his shoulder.
âHuh?â You click to Jet to follow.
âHorseâs name. Ghost.â
âHow come?â you ask when youâre side by side with him.
He shrugs, upper lip turning. âWhen itâs dark, you canât hardly see her. Sheâs like a ghost.â
Joelâs hand surfs gently across Ghostâs mane, fingers scratching her shining coat. Your bodies rock in time with the sway of the horsesâ walking. The echo of their hooves on the asphalt masks the silence for a few moments.
âAlright,â you eventually accept, turning away to watch the sun lift above the prickly treetops.
And to hide the smile tugging on your lips.

This blurb was written as a part of the "Zara's Birthday Bash and Road to 1K" celebration.
Zara's Birthday Bash and Road to 1K Masterlist / Criminal Minds Masterlist
Derek was beginning to think that the universe was out to get him. It was the only logical explanation he could come up with for the situation he found himself stuck in: standing next to a minivan with an activated bomb underneath its driver's seat. The owner of the car, a woman by the name Pansy, was gripping his hand like a vice, cutting off circulation to it completely, but he couldn't care less about that. Getting blood into his hand was the least of Derek's worries right now.
"How's my baby?" Pansy suddenly asked amidst her tears.
Derek glanced at you, who had been trying to unbuckle the infant from his car seat for the past couple of minutes. One wrong move and the car would explode in the blink of an eye, obliterating everything in its immediate vicinity. This knowledge loomed at the back of your head as you languidly lifted the baby into your arms.
"Got him," you breathed out. You dashed away to take Pansy's son to safety, and despite her not being out of harm's way yet, Derek could feel the tightness of her grip around his hand loosening even if just for the tiniest bit.
Not three minutes later, you came back with a box of tools in your hand. Derek didn't like the grim expression on your face as your gaze flitted his way.
"The bomb squad isn't coming," you muttered.
"What?" Pansy exlclaimed. Even quiet as you were, there was no way you could say anything to Derek without Pansy hearing about it. The woman panicked as her eyes scampered repeatedly between you and Derek. "What are you talking about?"
"Pansy." Derek's voice came with a reassuring squeeze, a silent request for her to calm down. He turned to you again immediately, "What do you mean, they're not coming?"
"Land access is out since the bridge collapsed during the last bombing. They're sending in aerial support, but with everything that's been going on, it'll take at least 30 minutes, which is a time we don't have," you lamented, extending your hand to present the toolbox to Derek's face. "Hotch gave you the go-ahead."
With a curse under his breath, Derek accepted the box with his free hand. You slid in next to him so you could peek into the car.
"Pansy?" Frightened blue eyes scuttered towards your face. Despite the current predicament, you managed to offer her a somewhat genuine smile. "Hey, how are we holding up there? My name's Agent (Y/L/N), I work with Agent Morgan in the FBI. I wanted to let you know that your son is safe. He's with the rest of our team right now."
Pansy hiccuped around a sob. "He's safe?"
"One hundred percent." You nodded. "Listen, Agent Morgan here used to work with the bomb squad. He's gonna defuse the bomb so all of us can get out of here safely. But in order to do that, you need to let go of his hand, okay? Here, you can hold mine instead."
Your last statement caused Derek to turn his head around so fast, you were sure he would have gotten a whiplash. The incredulity was thick in his voice as he asked, "Sweet girl, what are you doing?"
You didn't look at him once. In fact, your eyes were still glued to Pansy's face when you said, "I'm not leaving you."
But Derek knew better.
You weren't saying that sentence to Pansy.
You were saying it to him.
In any other situation, Derek would have admonished you for your stupid decision. But right in that moment, in front of Pansy who was this close to spiraling, and with time completely against his side, Derek couldn't do anything else but relent. Reluctantly, he let go of Pansy's hand and allowed you to take his place. With another deep breath, Derek kneeled next to the car and began to work.
11 minutes and 16 seconds; that was how long it took for Derek to carefully disarm the explosive. Pansy sank into your embrace as soon as Derek removed the device from her seat, bringing it as far away from the crowd as possible as you took the young mother to see her infant son.
After neutralizing the threat, you received word from the rest of your team about the identity of the UnSub. Following a strenuous chase, you eventually closed the day with an arrest, ending the nightmare of the case once and for all. You marked it as a win in your book.
Back at the hotel, everyone scurried to their respective rooms in no time, eager to wash away the residual horror of the case with a cold shower and slept the exhaustion off before the team had to catch an early flight back to Virginia the next morning. You, too, had been dreaming about the plush mattress waiting for your arrival back at your room. But before you could reach the familiar door to your hotel room, your steps halted when warm fingers suddenly encircled your wrist.
"We need to talk," Derek said sharply. He didn't give you a chance to say anything before leading you towards his hotel room.
"What's this about, Derek?" you questioned once the door shut behind Derek's back.
"I can't believe you'd do something reckless like that, (Y/N)."
You frowned at him in confusion. "What? What do you mean?"
"You know what I'm talking about. You stayed back knowing there was a bomb! You knew what could've happened. You didn't have to be there, but you stayed anyway. What the fuck, (Y/N)?!"
"That's what this is about?" You scoffed incredulously. "You're mad at me because I did my job?"
"That wasn't part of the job and you know it, sweetheart. You could've been killed."
"I know that! God, you don't think I know that?!"
"You knew? Oh, good! So you knew about the chances of you getting killed in that situation, but you still went ahead and did it anyway. What the fuck were you thinking?!"
"I don't need to fucking explain myself to you, Derek." You stepped further into the room, trying to draw as much distance from the man whom you considered your best friend for the past two years of you working with the BAU. His hostility was foreign. You mourned the absence of his usual warmth as you wrapped your arms defensively around your torso. "What about you, anyway?"
"Me?"
"You act as if I was the only one putting themselves in danger, but you were there, too. You could've been killed as well. A little bit hypocritical, isn't it?!"
"That's different."
You rolled your eyes. "Of course it is. Why? Because your hero complex wouldn't allow you to share the stage with anyone else?"
"(Y/N)â"
"Or is it your trust issues that force you to do anything on your own?"
"Stop itâ"
"Oh, I get it! Maybe you're no different than those other alpha males out there! Is that it? You want me to leave all the dangerous and scary jobs to the big, strong menâ"
"I said, stop it."
A gasp stumbled past your lips when you suddenly found your back connecting with the wall, trapped between the concrete surface and Derek's muscular chest. There was no way to run. Derek's stare was sweltering as it pierced right through your soul.
"Have you always been this insufferable?" Derek growled.
"I don't know. Have you always been this chauvinistic?"
"You never know when to shut the hell up, do you?"
"Wellâ" you puffed your chest out, leveling your own stare with his unyielding one, "âwhy don't you make me?"
The atmosphere thickened inside the room.
Before you could process what was happening, Derek had suddenly lunged forward, claiming your lips in a kiss so heated unlike any other you had ever known.
Derek domineered every single one of your senses. Your body only knew his touch as his palms roamed your curves and edges. The kiss was a battle of desperation, a mess of tongue and heaving breaths that span your world off its axis.
When Derek's mouth strayed to your neck, nipping around the spot right below your ear, you swore your bones melted into liquid inside of your body.
"So goddamn aggravating," Derek griped against your ear. "You drive me fucking crazy, you know that?"
"You're just gonna keep talking? Or are you finally gonna put that mouth to a good use?"
The smirk on your lips was wiped away instantly when Derek kissed you again. He maneuvered the two of you towards the bed, where Derek laid you down with a gentleness that contradicted the spite he had shown so far. Clothes were being shed at an inhumane speed, and before long, you found yourself sprawled naked underneath Derek's impressive frame.
Your hand wandered southward as Derek peppered kisses across your chest. The moment your fingers wrapped around his length, Derek's whole body shivered in response.
"Fuck. What are you doing to me?" he muttered.
You continued to pump his shaft, enjoying the melodic sounds Derek was making as your pace grew faster with each second. Mere moments later, however, your movement was halted when Derek's fingers tugged at your wrist.
"Slow down, pretty girl. I wanna be inside of you when I cum."
His declaration was sealed with a kiss.
Using an unbelievable display of strength, Derek then manhandled you to your front, forcing you to rest on all fours as he settled on his knees right behind the sensual curves of your ass.
"Shit. Look at this pussy," Derek remarked crudely. You moaned into the bedsheets when his fingers rubbed up and down your slit, collecting the wetness without ever grazing the number one spot where you needed him the most. "Beautiful, sweetheart. You're so fucking gorgeous."
"You can tell me about how gorgeous you think I am later, Derek. Just shut up and fuck me already."
"Impatient girl." Derek chuckled.
You yelped when his palm landed a harsh slap to each one of your ass cheeks. The sting was chased away instantly by the feeling of Derek's cock prodding around your entrance. The two of you moaned in unison once his length went in, filling every inch of your channel until he was sheathed to the hilt.
As Derek started to move, the lump of arousal in the pit of your stomach increased in size. The drag of his cock felt delicious against your throbbing walls. Derek moved inside of you at a sedulous pace. The grip he had on either side of your hips felt like a promise of fresh bruises that you couldn't wait to wake up to once morning arrived.
With a particularly harsh thrust into your soaking pussy, Derek sent your brain gyrating into the stars.
"Derek, pleaseâohhh. Feels so good."
"I know, pretty girl. Fuck. Gripping my cock so well, sweetheart. You hear that? Hear how wet you sound?"
You nodded wordlessly, your ears assaulted by the squelching sound of your combined arousal as you pressed your face against the mattress. Derek drove into you even faster, hitting the same spot every single time that had you blabbering incoherently into the sheets.
"D-Derek? I'mâmmpphhh, I'm so close. S-So close... oh fuck."
"Yeah? You're close, sweet girl?"
Derek's arm went around your torso, then, holding you up beneath your breast without ever relenting his movement. His breath tickled your ear in this new position, and you held onto the muscular arm holding you up in fear of collapsing from the continuous strike of pleasure.
"Do you wanna cum, sweetheart? Wanna cum for me?"
"Y-Yes! Please, please, please, Derek. Please, wanna cum so bad."
"Okay." Derek's other hand slid down your abdomen, all the way past your navel, until the rough pad of his fingers found your swolen clit. He began to rub it aggressively, earning a loud cry as you writhed in rapture. "Go on, then, pretty girl. Cum for me. Just let it go, sweetheart."
Your whole body convulsed as you slammed head first into your climax. Derek held you close through it all, stroking your damp skin and whispering sweet nothings as you came down from your high. Not long afterward, his own release caught up to him, pushing Derek to empty everything he had into the warmth of your tender hole.
Once minutes had passed, Derek carefully pulled out from you before gently laying you down on the bed. You were lost too deeply in the post-orgasmic bliss to notice that Derek had disappeared into the bathroom. The fog in your brain only started lifting when Derek returned and spread your thighs apart, using a damp wash cloth to clean up the mess that the two of you made on your upper thighs.
"How are you feeling?" Derek asked after he tossed away the cloth, squeezing your thigh affectionately.
"Tired. But good," you answered with a smile. "So... we should probably talk about what just happened, huh?"
Your question caused Derek's shoulders to tense, but he relaxed them again when your fingers reached out for his hand.
"Sorry I yelled at you," he offered sincerely. "You don't know this, pretty girl, but I made a vow to myself a long time ago to protect you. You're perfectly capable of taking care of yourself, I know that. But as long as there's air in my lungs, I will spend every day of my life trying to keep you safe. Do you understand?"
You nodded meekly as your heart constricted in its cage. Derek left a kiss to your knuckles before settling down to lie beside you.
"You're not the only one who made such a vow, Derek," you revealed quietly. "I also made one to myself that I would never drop your hand in the face of danger. I would never abandon you like that. I'd rather give my life than live in a world where you no longer exist."
"Don't say that. You don't mean it."
"But I do. I mean it with all my heart." You stroked Derek's cheek with the tip of your fingers, admiring his handsome face as his eyes stared at you intensely. "Wherever you go, I go, Derek."
"Wherever you go, I go as well," Derek promised, tightening the sanctity of the words with a kiss. "What you did was still stupid, though, so you better never do that again in the future."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Can we please pause this conversation 'till morning? I'm literally about to pass out right now."
Derek grinned upon hearing your statement. "I fucked you real good, didn't I?"
You punched him on the shoulder. "Asshole."
Derek laughed wholeheartedly before pecking your pouting lips. "Only for you, pretty girl."
