Chapter 28 — The One She Let In
Judy's message wasn't like the others.
> Judy: "I… want you to come over. Just you. No bullshit. No walls."
I sent back a single word.
> Alaric: "On my way."

Her apartment was dark — rain tapping soft against the glass.
Judy stood by the kitchen counter, hoodie off, simple tank top clinging to her slender frame.
Bare legs.
Bare feet.
Eyes that burned beneath the softness.
She didn't say a word as I stepped in.
Didn't have to.

I crossed to her — slow — watching every flicker of doubt in her eyes fade as I closed the gap.
"Sure about this?" I asked, voice low.
Her answer was her hands gripping my shirt — pulling me into a kiss that started soft…
And broke open with heat.
We moved like we'd been building to this since the first look, the first smirk, the first spark neither of us wanted to admit.
Judy's back hit the counter — hard enough to make her gasp, soft enough I knew she wanted it.
My hands slid under her thighs, lifting her like she weighed nothing. I spread her open, lips dragging down her neck as I set her on the edge.
Her breath stuttered when I dipped my head — tasting her, tongue slow, relentless, until she was grinding against my face, fingers clawing into my hair.
"You… fucking…" she gasped, voice breaking with every flick of my tongue, every stroke of my fingers inside her —
"…tease."
I pulled back just enough to smirk against her skin.
"You love it."
Judy let out a shaky laugh — one that dissolved into a sharp cry as I slid two thick fingers deeper inside her, curling them just right.
Her walls clenched, slick and tight around me, as she shuddered.
And when I finally lifted her in my arms, carrying her to the bed —
There was nothing left between us.
No words.
No walls.
Just skin, sweat, and the raw, hungry sound of her whispering my name like it was the only thing keeping her alive.
I laid her down — legs spread, hair a dark halo around her flushed face.
Her eyes widened when I dropped my pants — when I freed every last thick, veined, fifteen inches of cock.
"Holy shit…" she breathed — voice gone soft with shock and heat.
Her thighs pressed together involuntarily… then opened even wider.
"Judy," I rasped, crawling over her, the head of my cock dragging between her slick folds — teasing, stretching her already.
"You can scream. No one's gonna stop us."
And when I pushed inside — slow, relentless, forcing her open inch by inch — her back arched off the bed.
Her scream tore free, raw and sweet.
"Fuck…!"
Her nails raked down my back as I bottomed out — buried inside her tight, trembling heat.
I gave her a second.
Just a second.
Then I started to move — hard, deep strokes that had her gasping, cursing, begging between cries.
She screamed again when I pinned her wrists above her head with one hand — hips slamming into hers with every thrust.
And I didn't stop.
Not until she was shaking beneath me — hoarse, wrecked — whispering my name like a prayer between the sweetest screams I'd ever heard.

She fell asleep on my chest — fingers lightly tracing my skin.
And for once in this city of lies…
It felt real.
