Chapter Twenty-Four
Axel
I’ve got Jade tied up, wrists bound above her head, legs spread wide, and Carter’s right beside me. Her skin glistens with sweat. Her lips are parted, her chest heaving with each desperate breath she takes. She’s still fucking gorgeous, even after everything we’ve already put her through tonight.
“Fuck, you’re so goddamn perfect,” I murmur, leaning down to brush my lips against her inner thigh. Jade lets out a whimper, her body jerking against the restraints, but she’s not going anywhere. Not until we’re done with her.
Carter’s hand wraps around my neck, squeezing lightly as he tilts my head to meet his gaze. “You gonna take care of her, or just tease her all night?”
“Relax, man,” I chuckle, feeling that rush of adrenaline coursing through me. “I’ve got this.”
His eyes flick back to Jade, then he drops his grip on me and kneels between her legs. “Let’s make her scream.”
Jade’s whimper turns into a soft moan, and I can see the need, the raw hunger in her eyes as Carter positions himself. I reach for the rope, pulling it tighter, just enough to keep her on edge.
“You ready, baby?” I whisper, my hand sliding down her body, fingers brushing over her nipples.
“Please,” she gasps, her hips bucking up. “Please, Axel…Carter…”
That’s all the encouragement we need.
I press myself inside her, feeling her slick heat swallow me up. Carter leans in, his tongue flicking over her clit, and I feel her whole body tremble beneath us. It’s fucking intoxicating, watching her like this—completely at our mercy.
“Make her come,” Carter growls, pulling back for just a second, his hand gripping my hair. “I want to see her fall apart.”
I thrust harder, faster, and it doesn’t take long before Jade’s gasping, her moans getting louder, more desperate. Carter’s teeth graze her sensitive skin, and she’s there, back arching off the bed, eyes rolling back as she cries out. She spasms around me, and it’s all I can do to hold back from joining her.
“That’s it,” I say, watching her fall apart in my hands. “Good girl.”
Her whole body quakes, legs trembling as the orgasm tears through her. I can’t stop myself from smirking, feeling the pride swell in my chest.
But we’re not done yet.
Carter pulls away. He looks up at me, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
“Your turn.”
I don’t hesitate. I move around, positioning myself at her mouth, stroking my cock as I watch her try to catch her breath. Jade’s eyes flutter open, and she licks her lips, looking at me with that hazy, lust-filled gaze.
“You want it?” I ask, voice low.
She nods, but I don’t give it to her right away. I grip her jaw, making sure she’s looking right at me.
“Beg.”
Jade’s lips part, and a soft whine escapes her throat. “Please, Axel. I want to taste you.”
That’s all I need to hear.
I slide my cock into her mouth, groaning at the heat and wetness of it. She’s a fucking goddess, taking me deep, her tongue swirling around my tip. My hands thread through her hair, holding her head in place as I fuck her mouth, slow and deliberate.
Carter slips inside of her, and she gasps around my cock before sucking on me harder, her movements timed to his thrusts.
“Good girl,” I whisper, feeling her throat tighten around me. “Just like that.”
She comes again with a jolt, as if she didn’t expect to, sobbing around my cock and writhing with the pleasure that’s rocketing through her.
Carter’s beside me now, jerking himself off as he watches us. His breathing’s ragged, and I know he’s close, just like I am.
I pull out of Jade’s mouth, stroking myself as I hover over her. Carter’s hand joins mine, and together, we finish on her, ropes of come painting her chest, her stomach, her thighs. She’s a fucking mess, and it’s beautiful.
“Goddamn,” Carter breathes, his chest rising and falling with heavy breaths. “She’s perfect.”
Jade’s eyes are half-closed, her body limp, but there’s a satisfied smile on her lips. I reach down, untying her wrists and pulling her into my arms. She’s exhausted, practically melting into me, and I press a kiss to her forehead.
“You okay, baby?” I ask, brushing her hair back from her face.
She nods, her voice barely a whisper. “Mhm. Just…tired.”
I chuckle softly, wrapping her in one of my shirts before laying her down on the bed. “Sleep, Jade. We’ll take care of you.”
I watch her drift off, her breathing evening out as she slips into sleep. Carter stands beside me, still naked, wiping himself off with a towel. He glances over at me, then down at Jade, a small smile playing on his lips.
“She’s something else, huh?”
“Yeah,” I agree, my eyes never leaving her peaceful face. “She really is.”
Carter tosses the towel aside, pulling on a pair of sweatpants. “I’m gonna grab some water. You want anything?”
“Nah, I’m good.” I stretch, rolling my shoulders as I follow him into the kitchen.
The house is quiet, save for the soft sound of the fridge door opening. Carter pulls out a couple of water bottles, cracking one open and taking a long drink. I lean against the counter, watching him.
“Big game coming up,” I say, trying to break the silence.
Carter stiffens, his jaw clenching for a moment before he nods. “Yeah.”
“It’s your first time facing the Blackhawks since you left,” I continue, watching him closely. “How you feeling about that?”
He takes another sip of water, avoiding my gaze. “Honestly? I don’t know. I haven’t been sleeping much.”
I raise an eyebrow. “You gonna be okay out there?”
Carter finally looks at me, his expression serious. “I don’t know, man. I thought I’d be fine, but…it’s been eating at me. I don’t even know why.”
I step closer, clapping a hand on his shoulder. “Look, the team’s got your back. We all know what’s going on, and we’re here for you.”
Carter’s shoulders relax a little, but there’s still that tension in his eyes. “It’s not just the game, Axel. I’ve been…fuck, I’ve been dealing with some shit. My head’s all over the place, and it’s not just hockey. It’s everything.”
I nod, staying quiet for a moment. I get it. I really do.
“You’re not alone in that,” I say finally. “I’ve been struggling too, man. ADHD’s been kicking my ass lately. Makes it hard to focus, hard to sleep, hard to fucking function sometimes.”
Carter looks at me, surprised. “You never said anything.”
“Didn’t think I needed to,” I admit with a shrug. “But yeah, we all got our shit. Doesn’t mean you gotta deal with it alone.”
Carter takes a deep breath, nodding slowly. “Thanks, Axel. I mean it.”
“No problem,” I say, giving his shoulder a squeeze. “Now, about Jade…you think we’re all good with this? You, me, her?”
Carter chuckles, shaking his head. “Honestly? I didn’t expect it to feel this…right. But yeah. I think we’re good. As long as she’s happy, I’m happy.”
“Same here,” I agree. “As long as we’re all on the same page, I don’t see any issues.”
Carter finishes his water, setting the empty bottle on the counter. “I’m gonna head home. Try to get some sleep before tomorrow. But if anything comes up with Jade…”
“I’ll call you,” I finish for him, nodding. “Don’t worry.”
He smiles, but it’s tired, and I can see the weight he’s carrying. “Thanks, man. I’ll see you at the rink.”
“Yeah,” I say, watching as he heads for the door. “Hey, where’s Shadow?”
Carter pauses, looking around. “Probably sleeping somewhere. Damn dog’s got more hiding spots than I can count.”
I chuckle, shaking my head. “Figures.”
Carter waves as he steps outside and the door closes behind him. For the first time since he joined the team, it feels like he’s really starting to let his guard down. Maybe he’s finally starting to trust us.
I head back to the bedroom, finding Jade still curled up on the bed, her soft breathing filling the room. She stirs when I slip under the covers, her eyes fluttering open for a second.
“Where’s Carter?” she murmurs, her voice groggy.
“He went home to get some sleep,” I tell her, pulling her close. “But I’m here.”
She smiles, snuggling into me. “I like you being here.”
I kiss the top of her head, my arms wrapping around her as we settle in for the night. “I like being here too, Jade.”
And with that, we fall asleep.
