Lights Out – Chapter Nine
Josh
Aly was getting in the car. I watched her slide into the passenger seat beside me, gun aimed at my middle, eyes trained on my mask while she slowly pulled the seatbelt across her chest and buckled in.
She reached out and blindly closed the door behind herself, as unwilling to look away from me as I was her, if for a different reason. I let out the breath I knew damn well Iād been holding ā I didnāt want to so much as breathe, let alone move in case I scared her off.
There was a woman with a mask kink within arm’s distance of me. A woman who had recently masturbated to one of my videos, and I couldnāt get that one brief image out of my head of her thrusting her vibrator into herself. Was that how she liked it? Raw and rough? A hint of pain to heighten her pleasure?
Fuck, I wanted her. Here. Now. It was so tempting to turn and pin her to her seat so I could ā
She shoved the barrel of the gun into my side. āDrive. And lord help us if we get pulled over on the way. Between your horror movie getup and my weapons, weād probably make headline news.ā
Right. About that.
I grabbed my phone off the dash. I wished I could talk to her, but Iād have to do it again soon, as Josh and I couldnāt risk her recognizing my voice. My fancy modulator was getting delivered tomorrow, and then I could be done with this typing nonsense.
Iām going to take the back way there. I put the directions in my map, so you know Iām not lying.
I showed her the text instead of sending it.
She cocked her head sideways and eyed the edge of my mask like she was considering ripping it off. āOr you could just show me who you are and drive my car like a normal person. I already know weāve met before, and it canāt be easy to see in that thing.ā
My heart thudded inside my chest. Aly was at the top of her class when she graduated nursing school. Maybe I should be worried that she was smart enough to figure out who I was eventually, but it only excited me. It felt like a game we played, with me constantly staying three steps ahead of her to avoid getting caught. The challenge was thrilling. And despite her concern, I could see great in this thing. The black material covering the wide eye sockets was made from a kind of high-tech nanofiber that was opaque from one side and transparent from the other. It was no different than looking out of a pair of glasses.
I can see fine. And do you really want to ruin the fantasy? I typed, showing her the phone and praying she wanted this as much as I did.
She blew out a shaky breath and looked away, the gun slipping an inch, and I took her silence as confirmation.
A glance at the gun showed me her finger was nowhere near the trigger. Not that anything would happen if she pulled it. Iād replaced her bullets with blanks. I was horny, not suicidal. And yes, I planned to switch them again. The thought of her unarmed in this city made me want to both rage and puke at the same time, which would probably be messy, so the real bullets were going back in as soon as we got to her house. Iād just have to find some way to be sneaky about it so she didnāt get mad at me again.
Her eyes were guarded when they came back to mine, but there was a hint of a flush in her cheeks that hadnāt been there before, driving the point home that Aly would rather have me masked and anonymous as well.
I buckled my seatbelt and put the car in reverse, using the rearview cam to guide me out of the parking space.
āYou put my seat heater on for me,ā she said.
I nodded. For whatever reason, empathy came easy for me with her. Iād spent the past week so fixated on how to make her life better, easier. Watching her through the hospital cameras showed me a woman who would do anything to help others, even to the detriment of herself. I figured she must be sore after being on her feet for so long, and even though the orthopedic shoes she wore looked comfortable, I bet her legs and back still hurt.
She was probably hungry, too ā I hadnāt seen her eat much in the past day and a half. Luckily, I had a solution for that. I put the car in drive but kept my foot on the brake.
Lifting my hands, I slowly rotated in my seat. The gun bumped over my abs as I turned her way, and her gaze drifted down like she felt it happen. I reached behind us and grabbed a small lunch bag from the rear seat.
āWoah, buddy,ā she said, leaning away as I turned back around with it. āIs that a bomb or something?ā
I almost forgot myself and swore. Why hadnāt I realized Aly might jump to a conclusion like that after the shift sheād had? It was a dumb mistake, and I wouldnāt make one like it again. Iād be better for her going forward. She deserved someone at the top of their game.
I shook my head and set the bag in my lap. Moving slowly so she wouldnāt freak out, I unzipped it and showed her the contents.
She frowned and leaned forward for a better look, glancing up at me afterward with one brow arched. āYou brought meā¦snacks?ā
I nodded and put it on the center console for her.
She made no move to take it, her expression turning exasperated. āIām not eating any of that. You could have drugged it.ā
Fair. I snagged the sandwich bag filled with apple slices. My gloves were thin enough that it was easy to lift one out. I tugged my mask away from my face just enough to get the slice inside it without revealing more than the edge of my jaw and slid the apple into my mouth. I made a āSee?ā motion as I started to chew, but Aly was too busy staring at where my jaw was hidden again to pay much attention to my hands, and her flush had deepened.
My mouth went dry. Did she feel it, too? This undeniable pull between us? I was trying to be a gentleman, had promised myself that tonight, and this ride home was about reassuring her that she could trust me with her safety ā after all, it was a big ask to get someone to agree to sex with a knife-wielding stranger ā but if she kept looking at me like that, I didnāt know if I could keep myself in check for much longer.
She licked her lips as her eyes slid from my face to take in the rest of me. I went still in my seat, telling my dick not to react, but it had a mind of its own when it came to her, so there it went, shoving against the restriction of my jeans, demanding to be let out.
Aly took her sweet time looking me over, and my heart started thundering in response. There wasnāt much on display ā I wore jeans and a hoodie ā but Iād left the sweatshirt unzipped, and Alyās gaze went straight to the way my fitted Henley flattened against my stomach.
āIs that the shirt you wore in your video tonight?ā she asked, her voice hoarse.
I nodded.
She shook her head as if trying to clear her thoughts. Dirty thoughts? āDid you think you were being funny by posting such a sappy thirst trap after what you did to me?ā
I nodded vigorously this time, glad she couldnāt see my shit-eating grin.
She huffed out a breath and looked away, but not before I caught the edge of her lips tilting up.
A car horn honked behind us, and we both jumped.
Right. I was supposed to be driving Aly home, not contemplating whether or not sheād like to be ravaged in the back of her car.
I waved to the impatient person behind me and took my foot off the break. They pulled into the open space Iād just vacated, and I slowed again, just long enough to tilt my phone away from Aly, kill the loop Iād placed on all the cameras on this level of the parking garage, and hit go on my map so she would know I wasnāt blowing smoke up her ass about following directions. That done, I headed toward the exit ramp while a soothing British womanās voice told me where to go next.
The sound of crunching came from the passenger seat. I glanced over and saw Aly helping herself to the apple slices with one hand, the other still pointing the gun in my direction. A frisson of warmth wound through me at the sight. Why did it feel so good to care for her, even on such a micro level? Was it because Iād never had anyone to call my own before? Or was this some inborn instinct all men had that, up until now, was suppressed by the cocktail of prescription drugs Iād been on since puberty?
Either way, I wasnāt questioning it. Taking care of her felt good, right. It was clear to me from what Iād seen that someone needed to, and Iād be damned if I let another man do it. My roommate was a goddamn moron. Didnāt he realize what heād had when he was with her? How was he foolish enough to let such a perfect creature slip through his fingers? How were all of her past partners equally blind? She should be wifed up by now, spoiled, and cherished like the queen she was.
Men were idiots. That was the only explanation.
Aly finished the apples as I pulled out of the parking garage. She tugged the lunch bag toward her and started poking around in it. Iād packed a variety of other options: a squeezable yogurt, carrot sticks, an orange, and trail mix I made myself. There was even a water bottle in there to wash everything down.
āYou first,ā she said, passing the trail mix over.
I stopped at the end of the exit ramp and took the bag from her. Our fingers slid against each other. Curse these fucking gloves and the need for them. That was the first time weād touched, and I hated that it hadnāt been skin-to-skin. I craved the feel of her against me, even if it was just a fleeting brush.
I hefted my phone and typed, You just want to get another look at my jaw.
āItās a nice jaw,ā she said, unapologetic. āNow quit stalling. Iām hungry.ā
I set my phone down to keep from typing something potentially offensive about how hungry I was, too. For her. Then I scooped out a handful of the mix and turned away because I needed to pull the mask up a little further to manage this, and I didnāt want her to see more than I was ready for her to.
āSpoilsport,ā she said as I shoved the trail mix into my mouth and tugged the mask back down.
I gave her a thumbs up as I chewed and then eased my foot off the gas. The snow was really coming down. Iād checked the weather several times over the past few hours, and the accumulation predictions kept climbing. Storm totals were hard to forecast in our area because cells habitually stalled out over us and dumped more snow than expected. At this rate, I wouldnāt be surprised if we had a foot on the ground by sunup.
Even though the plows were out, they couldnāt keep up, and the roads were shit. My Uber driver had a hell of a time getting me here earlier, and her vehicle was an SUV with four-wheel drive. Alyās car was a small sedan, and it might not have had four-wheel, but at least it came with traction control. I hoped I didnāt need it as I pulled onto the slush-covered road.
āYouāre gonna have to do better than one sappy video if you want me to forgive you for watching me without my consent,ā Aly said between bites.
I nodded to show I understood. Was I sorry for what Iād done? No, not at all, but I wouldnāt deny her right to be angry, and if there was a chance sheād forgive me for it, Iād find a million ways to apologize for upsetting her until she gave in.
āThank you for driving me home,ā she added in a softer tone. āI didnāt want to call an Uber or try to sleep in the hospital.ā
I smiled and started to reach out and pat her knee to say youāre welcome, but the gun jammed back into my ribs, and I stalled out halfway there.
āNo touchy. Still angry.ā
I held my hand up, fingers spread until the gun eased off me. My dick chose that moment to remind me how turned on I was by making another bid to break through my zipper. Feisty Aly was hot. I couldnāt wait until she forgave me so I could start finding ways to piss her off again. Masochistic? Maybe. But for some reason, our bickering banter felt more like foreplay than an actual argument, and I was into it. I could only imagine how good the makeup sex would be.
The city was quiet so early in the morning. Iād driven through it a lot around this time, thanks to my insomnia, and I never got over how eerie it was. It felt like I was on the set of some post-apocalyptic movie, one of the only surviving humans after a terrible plague or zombie virus. Tonight was less creepy and more cozy thanks to the storm, the sidewalks covered in snowbanks, everything bright and fresh like the city had been washed clean of all its sins. I knew it wouldnāt last, that it would only take a couple of hours once the snow stopped falling for life to resume and the banks to turn black from the dirt and grime splashed onto them by passing cars.
Aly leaned forward and turned the heat up another level. I shifted in my seat as I stopped at a red light, shrugging off my hoodie. My blood was up from being so close to her. I was on the verge of perspiring, and there was nothing to kill a mood like clammy skin.
I pushed my sleeves up to my elbows and turned left when the light changed, heading toward the city’s outskirts and a smaller road where there was less chance of passing anyone.
There, that was better. Sweat crisis averted.
It took me a moment to notice how still Aly had gone in her seat. I glanced over as we passed under a streetlight and caught her staring at my forearm, the gun resting forgotten against her thigh. Well, well, well. Iād spent so much time trying to think up ways to soften her toward me, but Iād missed the most obvious ally I had: her body and the way it betrayed her after all the time sheād devoted to my videos. Iād downloaded her user data off the app, and sheād spent a staggering 200 hours staring at me. When you looked at it that way, I seemed like a saint. Iād watched her less than 40 so far.
She might be mad at me, but her lizard brain was probably triggered by being so close to someone sheād pleasured herself to. I knew it happened at least once, but I prayed that wasnāt the only time, and sheād gotten off to me so often that my proximity alone was enough for her to soak her panties.
What was it sheād said about my forearms? That she wanted to trace each vein with her tongue?
Testing my hypothesis, I gripped the steering wheel tighter, making them pop. Aly let out a small, helpless sound and yanked her gaze away, dropping it back to her dwindling baggie of trail mix. I tried to stifle my smugness and failed spectacularly. She wanted me. Bad. Maybe more than I wanted her, which was saying something.
I wished I could turn and watch her, memorize the way her cheeks warmed and her breath picked up, but as we headed further from the city center, the driving conditions got worse, and I had precious cargo with me. I needed to focus on getting her home safely before I gave in to my darker needs.
āTurn left at the next light,ā my phone told me. I dutifully slowed to another stop a few minutes later and threw on my blinker. A lifted truck pulled up next to us, and I heard a manās voice call something out, muffled by the windows.
āAssholes,ā Aly said, flipping them off as she turned my way, effectively hiding her face from their sight.
Did they just say something rude to her?
The truck honked, and I heard more yelling.
Oh, hell no.
I shifted into park, scooped the forgotten knife off the floor by Alyās feet before she realized what I was doing, and got out of the car to stare down the driver over the roof.
The middle-aged white dude took one look at my mask and reared back in his seat.
His buddy on the passenger side started shoving his shoulder. āDude, what the fuck?ā
I lifted the knife with one hand and twiddled my fingers hello with the other.
Boo, motherfuckers.
The driver gunned the gas, running the red light as he took off into the night.
I grinned and got back in the car, flipping the knife, catching it by the tip, and offering it to Aly hilt-first.
She eyed me for a long moment before setting down the gun to take it. āYouāre deranged. You know that?ā
I shrugged. Deranged. Protective. Same thing.
āI thought this was fake,ā she said, pressing the pad of her pointer finger to the knife tip. āJesus, thatās sharp.ā
I jerked my gaze down, worried sheād cut herself, but I didnāt see any sign of blood, so she must not have pressed too hard. I kept that thing sharp enough to slice into bone.
The light turned, bathing us in green, and reluctantly, I turned away from her and started driving again. She closed the trail mix and set it back into the lunch bag, zipping it up like she was done eating. Then she turned to put it in the back, and I caught a whiff of her floral-scented shampoo. Unable to help myself, I dragged in a deep breath. I couldnāt wait to bury my face into all that hair while I fucked her, the sound of her ragged cries filling my ears, her legs thrown over my shoulders as I bent her in half and dicked her to within an inch of her life.
Had she caught sight of my erection when I got out of the car? Christ, I would have been standing in the open door with it right at eye level while I scared those guys off. Whoops. Probably should have paused to consider my āsituationā before my anger got the better of me, but the rage had taken hold too fast for rational thought to stand a chance.
I glanced over at Aly. The street Iād turned onto had fewer overhead lights, but it was still bright enough to see that she was staring straight at my crotch. Sheād seen, all right, and from the way her brows crept up her forehead, she was either impressed or concerned. Hopefully, a bit of both. An apology was on the tip of my tongue, but something in her expression stopped me. Slowly, she lifted her eyes to my mask and bit her lower lip. She needed to quit doing that if she knew what was good for her.
āI want to see it,ā she said.
No, she didnāt, fuckwit, I told myself.
Surely, Iād hallucinated that declaration. I wanted Aly so badly that Iād slipped out of reality and was now living in a make-believe world where the woman I lusted after asked me to whip my dick out while driving.
āPlease,ā she added.
I jerked my head around to look at her, disbelieving, and the car slid a little on a patch of ice. I whipped forward again and straightened us out. Iād grown up in the frigid north, and driving in shitty conditions was second nature, but I hated that my distraction had almost cost us.
āI can do it for you,ā she said, and something cold pressed into my side.
I looked down quickly, and my knuckles whitened on the steering wheel. Aly still had the knife, and she was using the tip of it to drag the hem of my shirt up. Oh, shit, why was that so hot?
āAll this time, youāve been trying to reassure me that Iām safe with you,ā she said, sliding the blunted side of the blade higher. āBut did you ever stop to consider whether or not you were safe with me?ā
I nearly groaned. Aly in her villain era? I would bankrupt myself for front-row tickets to that show.
And yes, I had considered what she asked, which was why Iād taken the bullets out of the gun. I couldnāt bring myself to replace the knife with a fake, though; maybe that would be my downfall. If so, Iād probably die with a dopey smile on my face while she carved me up. But I didnāt think she really would. There was nothing in her therapistās notes to indicate Aly suffered from homicidal tendencies, and even when sheād been mad at me, she didnāt seem like she was really mad. I didnāt doubt she was angry but angry enough to hurt me? Nah. Scare me a little, maybe, and I was now because if she turned that blade around, my skin would part like a tide for Moses.
I carefully reached around the knife and hauled my shirt up so she could get a better look at my rig. Sitting down wasnāt the ideal way to show my body off, but Iād take any attention from her that I could get, so I leaned back in my seat a little and let her take her fill of me.
She giggled.
Not the response I was hoping for.
āSorry,ā she said. āBut I was just thinking, what if one of these storefronts has CCTV?ā
I glanced out the windshield at the narrow street around us, and all the mom-and-pop stores crowded next to each other along it.
āImagine checking your camera in the morning and seeing a masked man driving with his shirt hiked to his nipples and a woman holding a knife to his stomach?ā
I wheezed out a voiceless laugh, caught off guard.
She chuckled again, but soon, her humor faded, and she released a heavy exhale. āI know Iāve already told you this a thousand times in so many embarrassingly inappropriate ways, but you have a beautiful body.ā
Now, this was more like it.
Wary of the knife at my side, I reached over and took her free hand, placing it on my stomach. Skin-to-skin contact at last. Sweet God, yes. Her fingers were warm as they rested on me, and I was starting to wonder if sheād lost her nerve because of how long she kept them there when suddenly they shifted, bumping down over my abs.
āThat video you sent me was such a tease,ā she said. āAll your videos are. Is that what youāre like in real life?ā
I nodded. Yes. Teasing women was second nature. Iād already given her a glimpse of that in our DMs and texts, but my need to wind women up extended to the bedroom. Aly was like my perfect victim in that regard. I already knew she was feisty. It was all too easy to picture her red-faced and panting as she begged me to make her come.
Her fingers dropped to the waist of my jeans and ran along the edge. I flexed. Hard. Not to show off but to keep from giggling like a lunatic. I was ticklish as fuck, and it was incredibly inconvenient at times like this. Mercifully, she stopped just above my top button, and I relaxed a little as the threat of ruining the moment passed.
She flicked the button open with practiced fingers. āCan I see it?ā
Oh, fuck. This was happening. I hadnāt hallucinated.
I nodded and shifted my hips forward to give her better access.
Her low moan filled the car as she slid her hand down and palmed my dick through my pants. āI knew youād be big,ā she whispered.
I gripped the steering wheel so tight my knuckles turned white. Goddamn fucking snowstorm. My focus had to stay on the road, regardless of how much I wanted to look down and watch what Aly did to me.
The cold bite of steel slid up my side, and I went totally still. Jesus. How had I forgotten about the knife?
āYouāre so hard that I need two hands to get your zipper open. Will you behave if I set the knife down?ā
Uhā¦would I? I wasnāt sure. We were moving out of the city proper and closer to the suburbs where she lived. It would be so easy to find an empty parking lot and tackle her into the backseat.
She turned the knife over and ran the blade up my side, so close she probably shaved off some peach fuzz.
āI wonāt do it if you donāt promise to be a good boy,ā she crooned.
Praise kink: unlocked.
I nodded several times in quick succession, and she chuckled and set the knife, tip down, into one of the cup holders between us. Then those nimble nurse fingers were on me, one set pulling my jeans away from my straining cock while the other carefully eased my zipper open. She dragged the sides of my pants wide and went still. A glance showed her staring at the bulge in my boxers with a hungry look on her face.
Do not come in your shorts, do not come in your shorts, I started chanting in my head.
I kept my eyes trained on the road and slowed the car. Movement in my periphery was all the warning I had before Aly tugged the band of my boxers open and pulled out my dick. Silence reigned absolute between us. We must have both been holding our breath. Then Aly let out a ragged exhale and wrapped her fingers around my shaft, and I nearly came on contact.
āDonāt misconstrue this,ā she said, picking the knife back up.
Terror slammed into me. A woman had one hand on my dick and the other on a knife. This could get so bad, so fast. My cock should be shriveling up in fear, but I only got harder at the thought, the danger pushing my arousal to an almost uncomfortable level.
Aly noticed, squeezing my shaft and running her thumb over the head of it to smear a drop of precum over my skin. āI see the knife kink goes both ways.ā
I guess it fucking did.
āIām still mad,ā she said. āThis isnāt for you.ā
Okay, but it felt a little like it was for me. Her hand was stroking up my dick, after all.
āThis is something Iāve dreamed about for months, and Iām not going to deny myself a chance to touch you just because weāre in a fight.ā
Awww. Our first official fight.
I was absolutely going to mark this in my calendar so a year from now, we could celebrate the day she acknowledged there was something between us. Was I getting ahead of myself? Probably, but I couldnāt help it. Aly was going to be mine. The end. Iād just have to find some way to make her think it happened organically, and she wasnāt falling for my dastardly plan to brainwash her into loving me by spoiling her rotten and playing into every desire sheād ever had.
The blunted edge of the knife slid up my side in idle threat as Aly worked her way back down my cock. Her touch was gentle because both her hand and my dick were so dry that there wasnāt enough lubrication between us for her to really go after it, but she paused when she got to the bottom, squeezed my base, and then reached into the band of my boxers and tugged on my balls.
I let out a shaky breath and gripped the steering wheel so hard the leather creaked.
āI canāt tell you how many times Iāve fantasized about doing this,ā she said as she started to lean forward. She paused halfway to my dick, and I nearly groaned. āAre you clean?ā
I nodded. Iād gotten tested a few weeks ago and hadnāt been with anyone since.
āYou wouldnāt lie to me about something like that, would you?ā she asked, starting to rotate the knife against my side, the sharp edge heading toward my skin.
I shook my head, horrified at the thought of someone doing that to a partner.
āGood, because I canāt hold out any longer,ā she said.
And then she clamped her lips around the head of my dick and swirled her tongue over it.
My vision tunneled. Oh, fuck, I was going to come like a fire hydrant if Aly kept this up. How was this so good? It was somehow even better than Iād imagined, and Iād done an unhealthy amount of daydreaming the past several days. Was it because I was off the drugs that had dulled my emotions and sensations for so long? Or because it was Aly, and having feelings about the person I hooked up with elevated my pleasure? Maybe it was both of those things combined, paired with the fact that I had my mask on, and this was the first time I was living out a fantasy Iād had for years.
The thoughts fled from my mind when she squeezed the base of my shaft again and lowered her head, taking more of me into the wet heat of her mouth. The urge to thrust my hips upward was strong, but she said this was for her, so I held myself still with monumental effort and let her play with me.
She moved lower, lower, widening her jaw as she took me all the way to the back of her throat. I groaned as her tongue swirled over me again, coating my shaft in saliva as she pulled up. Would it ruin my scary masked stalker image if I came too early? Didnāt badasses hold out for a long time?
Her hand wrapped around my now-lubricated shaft and started to pump, rotating on the way down just like I liked.
I prayed to the gods of longevity and began naming baseball teams in my head.
She drew back up to my head and lapped at my slit with a moan. āGod, you taste good.ā
Nope. I wasnāt going to make it. I would blow like a two-pump-chump, and my badass reputation would be ruined entirely. I tried to drum up some regret about that, but Aly tunneled her cheeks as she bobbed back down, and the suction had me seeing stars.
I took a wrong turn down a dark street and slowed the car to an absolute crawl.
āMake a U-turn at the next stoplight,ā the British woman told me.
Aly froze.
Uh-oh.
Her lips popped free ā no, no, no ā and she sat up, knife fully rotated now, blade hovering over my skin.
āDid you just deviate from the directions?ā she asked.
Reader, I whimpered in response.
I fucking whimpered.
But in my defense, my dick was cold and lonely and pulsing with need, and the mouth that had so recently brought it pleasure was now several feet away. Who could blame me?
āBad boys donāt get rewarded,ā she said.
No. Goddamnit. I did not need a brat kink on top of my newly awakened praise kink.
Or maybe I just had an Aly kink, and everything she said triggered this kind of response in me. Maybe being together meant all her desires were about to become mine, too.
Please, God. Donāt let her have a fisting kink, I thought. Being used like a puppet was not something I wanted to experience.
I put my blinker on and turned the car around at the lights. She sat watching me in the dark, knife running up and down my side, until we got back on the road my map wanted us on. Another torturous moment passed that made me worry Aly was going to leave me like this before she pulled the knife away and leaned forward again. This time, she started on my stomach, planting hot, drugging kisses on my abs before she parted her lips and nipped at my skin hard enough to pinch.
Was a biting kink a thing? It must be because I was rock-hard for it.
The snow picked up outside, and the car lights made it look like I just launched us into hyperdrive, even though we were barely moving, flakes flashing past us like stars as we raced through space. It made me feel like we were in our own little world as Alyās lips wrapped around the head of my dick again.
āIf we werenāt in this car,ā she whispered against me, breath heating my skin while her hand worked my shaft, āI would deep throat you until I choked. But this angle is wrong, so Iāll have to do this instead.ā
She laved at the head of my dick, tonguing my frenulum and then my slit before she did that delicious swirling motion again, all while her hand pumped my shaft. Aly was done playing around. The way she lapped and sucked and stroked spoke of a single-minded determination to get me off.
I switched from baseball teams to hockey teams. I wasnāt a huge fan of the latter, and it took brain power to recall some of the names of ā holy fuck, what did she just do?
I took my foot off the gas and glanced down. The back of Alyās head hid her mouth and hand from sight, depriving me of getting to watch her do whatever the fuck this was to me.
No. Hockey. Remember the hockey. Team things. You were trying to ā
Pressure built at the base of my spine. My balls started to tighten.
Aly sucked me deep and did that thing again.
I was going to come.
Hard.
I tapped her shoulder, trying to get her attention. She swatted me away like she didnāt need the distraction right now.
Fuck. Oh, fuck. Her mouth.
I tapped her again, more insistent this time.
A pop sounded as she pulled herself off my dick. āIf you keep interrupting me, Iāll never find out what you taste like when you come.ā
Lust roared through me as she bobbed back down and sucked me deep. I knew she said this was just for her, but I could no longer stop myself from moving, just a little, thrusting up into her luscious wetness. She moaned like she welcomed it, so I thrust harder.
A sharp stab of pain shot through my right hand.
What the fuck?
I glanced down, and my eyes flashed wide.
Aly had just accidentally stabbed me.
I jerked my hand away from the knife to see how bad it was, but Aly did that thing with her mouth again, and between the resulting spike of pleasure and the searing pain, I fell over the edge, spine bowing forward, losing all control as I came inside her welcoming, perfect mouth. She choked a little, trying to swallow it all down, and it only made me come harder, dragging my release out.
Aly gripped my cock and cleaned every last drop off it with her tongue. I elevated my hand and pulled it close. Blood was starting to trickle down my arm, and I didnāt want to get any of it in her hair or on her car seat.
She gave the head of my dick one last, sweet kiss and then tucked it back into my boxers, rising with a satisfied smirk that quickly turned to horror when she saw my hand.
āWhat the fuck did you do?ā she said, panicking as she grabbed it to assess the damage. āOh, Jesus, I think you need stitches.ā
Was there a nice way to tell her that I, in fact, had done nothing, and it was her who had done the stabbing?

Praise kink!? Yes. Same my guy.
Teasing!? Yes please.
She got him to whimper what a queen yes!! I love when they beg.
He’s adorable to want to mark the date down. And just how down bad for her he is in general.
Miss ma’am I told you in TT comments IĀ would read this on break at work and I did. (I’m unhinged I know.) Makes the day brighter and better. I got to the how you taste when he finishes part and my timer to go back went off. I was literally punching the air in my empty (thank god) breakroom š but this chapter had me giggling and smiling like a school girl. Again thank god I was alone lol.Ā I’ll have to finish the rest later. But I salute you. Thank you for the quality. I wasn’t sure how this book would go. But I’m enjoying it so much and so excited for the full release. I cannot wait for the hardcover edition. This book is a must for my library. Again thank you for a great read!
He underestimated just how feral a woman with a mask kink can be & im here for it šš
He absolutely did š
“Praise kink: unlocked”
I wheezed I laughed so hard.

Yesterday was such a shitshow at work that I was CRAVING this chapter and I was so bummed when it didn’t show. Now you are forgiven … except now I have to go into work with this roaming through my head. lmfao. The amount of times I’m going to giggle at random phrases like “No touchy. Still angry.” is going to be award-worthy.
Thank you SO MUCH! Iām sorry for the delay, but I added about 1.5k words to this during edits so it slowed me down.
Well, I did in fact grin and giggle all through my shift and now I’m home and can settle in for a reread before going back to my own NaNo fun.
Thank you so much! Iāve been busy cranking this out Iāve forgotten to log a single hour over there š
Screaming, crying, and throwing up. I need more ASAP. Pretty pretty please š
It might be a couple of days. This damn holiday.
šš forget the holiday…..Lights Out chapters are life! This is the celebration. This is our family we need to be with.
DO NOT MAKE ME CRY AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON ON A TUESDAY
And I mean that in a good way. I truly feel like Iāve found my people with this book and I would much rather hang out with you all and write for you than face family during the holidays.
I genuinely love this book and the way you write and just all of it. My coworker/friend and I have been texting about it A LOT and excitedly updating each other as soon as we see a new chapter. I also donāt think Iāve ever pre-ordered a book so fast in my life š I will be treasuring it like itās my first born
Well. There go the tears. I hope youāre happy. ššš but also š¤š¤š¤
Yes!!!!
Oh damn, I shouldn’t like this so much, should I? Well, I don’t care, I frickin love this, I could read this on and on and never have enough š ā¤ļø
(And I don’t even have mask kink lol)
Thank youuuu! š¤
OH HOLY MOLY
You werenāt ready, were you? š
Absolutely not this is gorgeous
š¤š¤š¤
I know you have a life, but I really need chapter 10 like now!!!!
Itāll be a few days but soon! š¤
i love this story, please upload as soon as possible again!
Thank you! I will š„°
I live for the fact that their first *interaction* was an entirely different power balance than what both of them thought they wanted. Also, I marked to many quotes from this. Turning clichĆ©s around is my favourite thing (“I let out the beath I knew damn well I’d been holding”).
Thank you so much! This means the world to me š¤
Ma’me!! Wow š„µš„Yes!!!
Next š Chapter š Next š Chapter š
Thank youuuu! š¤š¤š¤
Deranged? Protective? Same thing. And the wish to just wife her up? And already committed for the long haul? Preplanning for their 1 year anniversary? Bless this man. šµš„°
Heās an all in kind of guy š
Sighing and placing the preorder because I guess Iām learning new kinks of my own. Now time to ask my husband if he could be into knivesā¦
Just donāt slip up like Aly did š¬š¤£ And thank you!!!
š„µ Iāve never really been into knife play before ā¦.. BUUUUUUTā¦. šIām here for it
This book is going to easily take the number one spot for all time favorite book. I can already tell.
I literally canceled a work meeting to read this chapter⦠and re-read it š
OMG THANK YOU. Also, the number of kinks Iāve unlocked for people makes me feel like a proud mama, and I donāt even have kids š¤£
The scream I scrummed when I saw the update! šš» thank you
Ahhh, hope you liked it!
I found this scrolling Instagram and the hold it has on me is UNGODLY. I started reading at like 3am this morning and have been glued to my phone for an update. THANK YOU!
Youāre so welcome! And thank you so much for reading š¤š¤š¤
You’re going to kill all of us and we’ll even thank you for that. š„
š¤£š¤£š¤£
“Praise kink: unlocked”??? Oh Joshy boy – youre screwed š¤£š¤£
I think my favorite line is definitely him vowing to mark the calendar for their first fight 𤣠this man has it bad.
I am completely unhinged for you maam. Like this isnt even finished and its going up there with my all time favorite books. Im trying to drag my friends down this dark rabit hole with me š¤£š¤£
I loved the banter, the personality of the characters, the way you make us love josh and he hasnt even spoken this chapter!! I love how aly is portrayed as well – a desperate woman ready to let go the minute she realises shes safe
But uuuuuuugh the way you edge the fuck out of your readers is just š„µš„µš„µ ive said it before and I’ll say it again…i will beg on my knees for more. …..now to go beg my husband š¤£š¤£
-Julie šš
Ahhhhh! Thank youuuuu! I will cry for the second time today over a comment on here. IāLL DO IT. I SWEAR, JULIE.
The way that SHE was the one to hurt him by taking away his pain is the best! But also poor Josh for getting stabbed. I’m also starting to notice that they both may be interested in the same things that others would call “crazy” but Josh is definitely a softie who would absolutely WORSHIP HER LIKE THE QUEEN THAT SHE IS!!! Aly is his dominant and I’m here for it!
I like that you see what Iām doing here š¤£
not me reading all these chapters at 2am⦠call me aly cuz im obsessed š
Thank you so much!!! š¤š¤š¤
š„µā¤ļøāš„
i usually wait to binge everything once completed but this has me hooked! new chapter announcement comes in and i drop everything! so good! and he’s ticklish š
Thank you so much! Truly! This makes me so happy.
My kinks are getting out hand… yelp
BAH HA HA. You’re not alone.
I feel like I shouldn’t be sitting here, kicking my feet and giggling over this man AND YET
I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. This is the exact response Iām aiming for with him.
I never knew why I liked when someone said āGood girlā.
Praise kink it is. š¤£
Yuuuup! Itās a fun one š
I was clicking on next chapter absentmindedly, being frustrated that my internet was not working. Until I saw NEXT CHAPTER COMING SOON BECAUSE I WAS THAT HOOKED
ššš It goes up later today!
Bisexual woman here š
I must just have developed an aly kink too
ššš No one could blame you.
This is a masterpieceš©š©š©
Ack! Thank you so much!
How do you know that you are UNHINGED in the best way? You read Lights Out in PUBLIC at the doctor’s office! As you read, you make ALL the sounds (laugh, snicker, giggle, GASP,. etc.) while sitting in the waiting room – a FULL waiting room. And what do you do before you leave?? You recommend the future book to the nurse taking your blood (thinking of the stabbing) and URGE her to become a Dark Romance Darling with you!
I love that! š¤£š¤£š¤£
