Page 87 of Hiding In the Dark

“I don’t know. I’ll go get the key,” Arek responded.

“Kes,” she moaned as his movements quickened. “People,” she managed and then sucked in her lower lip as his hands gripped her ass harder. The slightly different angle had him pressing against her G-spot, and she bit down on her fist hard to try and keep from screaming out.

The sound of a key in the lock had him moving. Kes reached out and grabbed the door handle to the closet. He stepped them both inside the large space, closing the door behind him. It was dark in the closet, but the move wasn’t a moment too soon, as shadows could be seen moving out in the bedroom.

“All the extra gifts can go in here. We don’t use it for anything,” Arek said as Kes pushed her back up against the wall.

She’d never been into daring exhibitionism, yet there was something about being so close to getting caught like this that cranked up the already intoxicating need that was bringing her dangerously close to screaming Kes’s name—whoever was in the room be damned.

Her ass was bounced up and down harder with the added leverage of the wall. With the erratic thrusts came the murmuring for her to come as Kes pressed his lips against her ear. She could hear the strain in his voice and knew he was close, and that final thought pushed her over the edge. Her head pressed back against the wall as she opened her mouth in a silent scream. Her body spasmed around his cock as his desperate moans only heightened the release with the vibrating along the sensitive skin of her neck. Ke’s teeth locked on to her earlobe and sucked. He knew she loved it when he did that. It always drew out her orgasm, and sure enough, she gasped as the wave she was riding surged.

More shadows came along with the sound of boxes and paper as person after person arrived to set down items in the room. “Yes, put them over there,” the voice of a woman she didn’t know said. “Okay everyone, back to your other positions. That should be good.” The room fell silent, and she slumped in Kes’s arms as he continued to pant quietly against her neck.

Embarrassment washed over her as Arek spoke aloud, “I’m all for fucking at my wedding, but next time, don’t leave your underwear in the middle of the room if you’re gonna try and hide. Rookie move, Brother.”

She placed a hand over her mouth to keep from laughing as she flushed for a whole new reason.

“Yeah, yeah,” Kes grumbled.

Arek’s laugh was loud and infectious. She could almost see him bent over as he smacked his knee. “They’re currently hanging on the closet door handle. Don’t worry, I don’t think the wedding planner saw them, and I won’t tell Trev. Oh, and the wedding is going to start in ten minutes. Would be good to have the best man there.” Arek moved away from the door. “Balls, Brother. That took balls. I’m so proud of you.”

“Get the fuck out,” Kes said, but she could tell even he was having a hard time holding back a smile.

Arek’s laugh could be heard from all the way down the hall after he left the bedroom, closing the door behind him. Kes stepped away from the closet wall and lowered her to her feet. “You good?”

“Steady as a rock.”

“I meant to face him. ‘Cause he is not going to let this go.” Kes pushed open the door and reached around to grab her underwear, and this time he helped her step into them.

“Sure he will. I have a secret weapon. It’s called Renee.” She smiled wide as Kes stuffed himself, and his shirt, back into his pants.

“You’re beautiful when you’re being devious.” Kes held out his hand for her to take, and she’d never felt more alive. No matter what they might face, as long as they were together, she knew they’d be able to overcome any battle.

“And here I thought I was beautiful all the time.” Ashley nudged his arm and his face grew serious, but his eyes were filled with so much emotion that they held her and made her feel as warm as if she were wearing a well-worn sweater. “I was teasing.”

“I know, but I just wanted to admire this ‘I’ve been fucked hard in a closet’ look. It’s hot on you.”

She smacked his arm as she laughed. He’d totally set her up for his usual sweet praise. “Come on, Doll. We have a wedding to attend, and then I may find another dark corner in this massive place to take you again.”

As they wandered down the hall hand in hand, she stared up at the man that she’d never thought she would have. She’d told herself over and over how stupid she was to hope he could ever belong to her. Apparently, hope had a lesson for her.
