Hard As Steel: A Hard Ink/Raven Riders Crossover (1001 Dark Nights)

He took control of the movements, the strokes of his hips driving his cock deep into her mouth. His hand on her head giving him leverage, allowing him to move her how he wanted. She freaking loved it.

On a groan, Ike popped free of her lips. He lifted her from the floor like she weighed nothing and pushed her back on the bed. Like a predator stalking his prey, he crawled up the bed until he covered her, his hips settling between her spread thighs. “I wanna see you this time,” he said. He took his cock in hand and smacked the head against her clit, and then he was sinking in, filling her, making her his.

Jess didn’t really understand what he meant by the words until he started fucking her. But as he stared into her eyes and studied her face, and peered down between their bodies to watch himself moving inside her, she realized that between having sex in the dark that first night, and Ike taking her from behind the night before, she’d never actually seen his face during sex. And, holy crap, the way this man wore pleasure was so fucking sexy. He kissed her again and again, spilling words of encouragement and ecstasy into the space between their mouths. Though they’d kissed before, they hadn’t done it while having sex, either time. And Ike had a particular skill at mimicking with his tongue what he was doing with his cock. God, he was a good freaking kisser.

He pulled back and met her gaze, and his eyes were absolutely on fire. “Love you so fucking much,” he said, hips picking up speed, gaining urgency. He grabbed one of her knees and pushed it up, allowing him to sink deeper.

“I love you, too,” she said.

He gripped her thigh hard. His hips ground and snapped against her *. His kisses became more aggressive, sucking, biting, tugging her lips. His other hand slid into her hair, pulling and guiding her head how he wanted it. But in addition to this roughness she craved, there was an intimacy about this act Jess had never before experienced. Staring into the eyes of her lover and whispering the depths of her emotions weren’t things she’d ever done before. And it made the sex so much more than she ever knew it could be.

Healing. Bonding. Absolutely life-giving.

And it was all because of Ike.

“Oh, my God, Ike. So good,” she rasped.

“Tell me what you need,” he said, shifting to grind more delicious friction against her clit.

Jess moaned. “You. Just you.”

“Fuck. That’s right. Sounds so good.” He gripped her harder and moved faster, his hips drilling his cock into her until she was gasping, moaning, coming so hard she could barely breathe. “Yes, yes,” he grunted, and then he was coming too. Shooting inside her with the most fascinatingly erotic expression on his face—eyes closed, mouth open, forehead furrowed like he was almost in pain. Jesus, her man was hot.

When their bodies finally settled, Ike kissed her again. He was still deep inside her, and Jess wasn’t in any hurry for him to leave. Not ever.

“I don’t know what the future holds, Jess. But I know that right here is where I’m supposed to be. With you.” He looked at her with such adoration on his face.

Jess hooked her ankles around his back, feeling the truth of his sentiment deep inside her. “That’s all you gotta know, Ike. We’ll work the rest out together.” Ike nodded and kissed her, and despite all the uncertainty that still existed in their lives, Jess knew that she had a man and a love to hold onto for the rest of her life. And Ike was right. That was everything.
