Chapter 9: A new claiming
The air hung thick, charged. Jesse’s forehead rested against McKenna’s, their shared gaze locked on Tally’s trembling form beneath them. The promise in the room was a physical thing, a third heartbeat.
McKenna’s fingers, still tangled in Jesse’s hair, tightened. She pulled his face down, her lips brushing his ear. Her voice was a raw, desperate scrape. “Do it. Fuck her. Right now. I need to watch you ruin her.”
Jesse turned his head, his green eyes searching hers. The paternal command in them was absolute. “Is that what you want?”
A shiver wracked McKenna’s body. She nodded, once, sharp. Her bravado melted into pure, wanton need. “Yes,” she breathed. Then, lower, dirtier, “Yes, Daddy.”
The word was a key. It turned in the lock of his control.
He shifted back, his cock sliding from the damp heat of Tally’s cleft. He gripped her hip with one broad hand, his thumb digging into the muscle. With the other, he guided himself, the swollen head pressing insistently against her entrance, already slick from before. He didn’t ask. He pushed.
Tally cried out, a sharp, beautiful sound of penetration as he filled her in one relentless, deep stroke. Her body arched, trying to accommodate his girth, her fingers twisting in the sheets. “Oh God,” she gasped.
“That’s it,” Jesse grunted, beginning to move. He set a deliberate, deep rhythm, each withdrawal making her whimper, each thrust punching a choked gasp from her lungs. He was not gentle. This was possession, a blunt reclaiming.
He turned his head, capturing McKenna’s mouth in a searing, open-mouthed kiss. As his hips pistoned into Tally, he kissed McKenna like he was trying to consume her soul. He broke the kiss, his lips traveling down her jaw, her throat. He took the collar of her t-shirt in his teeth and tugged, a low growl in his throat. “Get this off. I want to see them.”
McKenna scrambled, pulling the shirt over her head. Her heavy breasts spilled free, full and pale in the low light, her nipples dark and hard. Jesse ducked his head, taking one into his mouth. He suckled hard, his tongue lashing the peak, his teeth grazing the sensitive flesh. He fucked Tally in a steady, driving cadence, his mouth working McKenna’s tit with a wet, noisy hunger.
“Fuck, these tits,” he moaned, the vibration humming against her skin. He switched to the other, lavishing it with the same brutal attention. “Perfect. So goddamn perfect. Made for this. Made for my mouth.”
He was talking to McKenna, praising her body, while his cock was buried to the hilt in her cousin. The dissonance was electric. McKenna threw her head back, her hands gripping his shoulders, her eyes glued to the junction of his body and Tally’s. She watched his ass clench with every thrust, watched the way Tally’s body jolted forward.
“You see how deep he’s in you?” McKenna panted, her voice dripping with a twisted pride. “You see that, Tally? He’s in your guts.”
Tally could only nod, her face a mask of agonized pleasure.
Jesse lifted his head from McKenna’s breast, a string of saliva connecting his lips to her nipple. He looked down at Tally’s prone form, his movements never slowing. “She’s tight,” he said, his voice a rough purr meant for McKenna’s ears. “So fucking tight. But you…” He squeezed McKenna’s breast, hard, making her gasp. “You’re built for it. That fat pussy of yours swallows me whole. And this ass…” His hand slid from her breast, over her stomach, and gripped a handful of her prominent backside, fingers sinking into the flesh. “This ass is a fucking masterpiece. I could look at it, fuck it, come on it, forever.”
He was splitting them apart with words, building a hierarchy of need right in the bed. Tally moaned, the sound mixed with a sob.
“You hear that, Tally?” Jesse grunted, driving into her with a force that shook the bedframe. “I love her body. I love fucking her more. I love the weight of her tits in my hands. I love the way her fat cunt grips me. Your tight little hole is good. It’s so good. But it’s not her.”
Each sentence was a cruel, exquisite gift. It humiliated Tally even as it drove her higher, stripping her of any pretense, reducing her to a simple, needy vessel for his use. Her approval was his pleasure. Her acceptance was her purpose.
“Yes,” Tally whimpered, tears leaking from the corners of her eyes. “Yes, Daddy. I know. Hers is better.”
“Damn right it is,” McKenna hissed, her own arousal a sharp, coiling heat in her belly. She was being worshipped while being degraded, exalted while her cousin was used. It was the most powerful she’d ever felt. “Tell him thank you for using your tight little cunt anyway.”
“Thank you,” Tally cried out, the words broken by his relentless pounding. “Thank you for fucking me, Daddy! Thank you for letting me feel you!”
Her submission was complete. It broke something open in Jesse. His rhythm faltered, turning ragged, brutal. He was close. He released McKenna’s ass and fisted his hand in Tally’s long brown hair, pulling her head back, arching her spine painfully. “You take it,” he snarled. “You take this dick and you remember whose it is. You remember whose cunt it belongs to.”
“Yours!” Tally screamed. “And hers! It’s for her! I’m just… I’m just keeping it warm!”
That did it. With a final, guttural roar, Jesse slammed into her and held, his body bowing as the orgasm ripped through him. He pulsed inside her, hot and endless, each jet a branding claim. He rode it out, his grip in her hair unyielding, his other hand still a possessive claw on McKenna’s hip.
When it was over, he collapsed forward, catching his weight on his arms, his body smothering Tally’s. He turned his head, his lips finding McKenna’s. The kiss was slow, deep, tasting of salt and exhaustion and absolute victory.
He finally rolled off, landing on his back between them. The only sounds were their struggling breaths and the eternal, forgiving hum of the bunker. Tally lay motionless, spent, his release already leaking from her.
McKenna moved first. She slid down the bed and, without a word, began to clean Jesse’s softening cock with her tongue, licking away the mixed evidence of him and her cousin with a slow, devoted thoroughness. Jesse watched her, his hand resting on her head, his chest rising and falling.
Tally shifted, curling onto her side facing them. Her eyes were hollow, wrecked, but serene. She watched McKenna serve, a faint, understanding smile touching her swollen lips.
The dynamic was set now, carved into their flesh as surely as the scars from the world above. It was fragile, brutal, and the only warmth left in a frozen world. Outside, in the mountain pass, the wind screamed over the frozen dead. In here, in their tangled, sweaty heap, there was only this silent, breathing truth. For now, it was enough.
For now, it was enough. The hum was a lullaby. Jesse drifted, but sleep was a shallow pool. He surfaced often, his hand finding a warm hip in the dark, confirming. McKenna slept deeply beside him, her breathing even. Tally was a silent outline on his other side.
He watched the black ceiling, the loneliness a familiar ghost. It had been sated, stuffed with their bodies and their words, but it was never banished. It waited. The digital clock read 03:47. The bunker’s perfect air felt sterile. He needed heat. He needed to feel real.
He turned onto his side, facing McKenna’s sleeping form. The sheet was tangled at her waist. In the faint glow from the console lights, her back was a smooth, inviting slope. That ass, even relaxed in sleep, was a profound curve against the mattress. He let his hand rest on it, the flesh yielding and warm. He kneaded it, gently at first.
She stirred, a low hum in her throat. “Jesse?”
“Go back to sleep,” he whispered, but his hand kept moving, sliding down the cleft of her cheeks through the thin cotton of her panties.
She didn’t go back to sleep. She pushed back into his touch, a silent answer. He hooked his fingers in the waistband of her panties and peeled them down, slow. She lifted her hips to help, the sheet falling away. The full, naked moons of her ass were revealed. He leaned in, his breath hot on her skin.
“This ass,” he murmured, more to himself. He kissed one cheek, a soft press of lips. Then he spread her open.
He didn’t ask. His tongue found her center first, a broad, wet stroke that made her gasp awake. He lapped at her, tasting the mingled remnants of them all, sour and sweet. Then he moved higher. He pressed his face into the tight, forbidden pucker of her asshole. He licked a firm, flat stripe over it.
McKenna jerked, a shock running through her. “Fuck,” she breathed into the pillow.
He ate her ass with a single-minded hunger, his tongue circling, then probing, fucking the tight ring with shallow, insistent thrusts. One hand gripped her hip, holding her open. The other reached around to her front, his fingers sliding through her wetness, finding her clit. He worked her with his fingers as his tongue violated her.
“You taste like everything,” he growled against her, his voice muffled by her flesh. “You taste like mine. This perfect fucking ass. I dream about this hole.”
“Please,” she begged, pushing back against his mouth, her body bowing. “Please, Daddy.”
That word in the dark, husky with sleep, undid him. He pulled back, slick with her. He positioned himself behind her, his cock already raging hard. He nudged the head against her soaked entrance, but then shifted up, rubbing it against the tiny pucker his tongue had just softened.
“This one,” he commanded. “I want this one first.”
It wasn’t a question. McKenna reached back, her hand guiding him, offering him the tightness. “It’s yours,” she said, her voice strained. “It’s always yours.”
He pushed. The resistance was fierce, a burning, incredible tightness. She cried out, the sound swallowed by the pillow. He sank in slowly, an agonizing, magnificent inch at a time, feeling her body fight then yield, swallow him whole. When he was fully seated, buried in the clenching, impossible heat, they both froze, panting.
“God… you’re so deep,” she sobbed.
“Tighter than Tally,” he gasped, beginning to move with shallow, careful strokes. “So much fucking tighter. But this…” He pulled out slowly and slammed back into her dripping cunt instead, the welcome wet heat a shocking contrast. “This is home. I love this fat pussy more than anything. I love fucking you more than her. You’re everything.”
He alternated like that, a punishing, exquisite torture. Three strokes in the searing tightness of her ass, his balls slapping against her, then four in the lush, gripping warmth of her cunt. Each time he switched, she screamed. He was claiming every part of her, comparing them, preferring them.
“Tell me,” he demanded, his hands digging into the soft flesh of her hips.
“You love my pussy more!” she wailed.
“Again.”
“You love fucking me more than Tally! I’m your favorite! I’m your best fuck!”
“Damn right you are.”
His control shattered. He fucked her cunt with a final, brutal fury, his orgasm tearing from him with a raw shout. He emptied himself inside her, pumping pulse after pulse of come into her depths. He collapsed over her, spent.
But he wasn’t done. The energy between them was a live wire. After a few minutes of heavy breathing, he slid out and stood beside the bed. He pulled her up by her arm. “Up. Now.”
She stood, unsteady on her feet, his come already leaking down her thigh. He turned her to face the reinforced wall, pressing her front against the cool steel. He kissed her shoulder, bit it. He entered her again from behind, easier now, slick with his own release. This was a different rhythm.
They fucked standing, his thrusts lifting her onto her toes. The slap of their bodies was a sharp, percussive sound in the room. He watched in the dark glass of a monitor screen, a ghostly reflection of her face twisted in pleasure, her heavy breasts flattened against the cold wall.
“See that?” he grunted, nodding at their reflection. “See us? That’s what survival looks like. That’s the only goddamn prayer left.”
“Harder,” she begged, her fingers scrambling for purchase on the smooth metal. “I can’t feel it hard enough.”
He obliged, hammering into her until his legs burned. But he wanted to see her work. He wanted to watch.
He pulled out and walked to the heavy reinforced chair at the communications desk. He sat down, the leather cool against his back. His cock, wet and still hard, stood against his stomach. He pointed at it. “Come here. Fix this.”
McKenna turned, her eyes glazed. She walked to him, her movements liquid with exhaustion and need. She didn’t climb onto his lap facing him. She turned her back to him, presenting that phenomenal ass directly to his face for a moment before she lowered herself. She guided him inside her from behind, sinking down in a reverse cowgirl that made him see stars.
The view was obliterating. Her back was to him, her long braid hanging down between her shoulder blades. He could see every detail: the flex of her spine as she moved, the powerful clench of her thighs, the gorgeous, heavy swing of her breasts in profile. And below, the mesmerizing sight of his slick, dark cock disappearing over and over into her from this most vulnerable, exposing angle.
She started slow, a gentle, rolling rise and fall. “You like this view, Daddy?” she panted, looking back over her shoulder. “You like watching yourself go in and out of my used-up pussy?”
“Fuck yes,” he breathed, his hands gripping her waist. “I can see every inch. I can see how stretched you are. I can see my come leaking out of you and getting fucked back in.”
She moaned, dropping her head forward. She began to move faster, lifting herself almost all the way off before slamming back down, taking him deep. The wet, slapping sounds filled the room. Her muscles fluttered around him, milking him. Jesse could only watch, hypnotized, as she fucked herself on him with a growing, frantic intensity.
“It’s so deep like this,” she cried, her hands braced on her own thighs. “I can feel you in my stomach. I can feel every fucking vein.”
“Ride it,” he commanded, slapping her ass. A red handprint bloomed on the perfect flesh. “Ride this dick like it’s the last one on earth. Show me what that ass can do.”
She obeyed, bouncing on him now, her body a frenzy of motion. The chair groaned in protest. Jesse’s hands moved from her waist to her ass, spreading her cheeks wide open so he could watch the devastating, explicit show even more clearly. The visual was too much. He felt his second orgasm building, a pressure tightening at the base of his spine.
“I’m gonna come,” he warned, his voice strangled.
“Where?” she demanded, still slamming down on him. “Tell me where you want it!”
“Inside,” he grunted. “I want it inside. I want to fill you up again. Mark you again.”
With a final, guttural shout, he erupted. His hips bucked up off the chair, driving into her as he pulsed. She kept moving, wringing every last drop from him, until he was utterly spent, collapsing back into the leather.
She slowly lifted off, his softening cock slipping out with a wet sound. She turned, kneeling on the floor between his legs, and cleaned him with her mouth, slow and thorough. He watched her, his hand gently stroking her hair.
In the bed, Tally slept on, or pretended to. The dynamic was cemented now, in sweat and come and steel. The bunker hummed its constant, indifferent song. But in that chair, for a few more minutes, there was only the sound of her swallowing.
But in that chair, for a few more minutes, there was only the sound of her swallowing.
When she finished, she rested her cheek on his thigh, her breath warm on his damp skin. The frantic energy had drained, leaving a hollowed-out calm. Jesse stared at the black screens of his dead monitors, his fingers tracing the line of her braid.
“We should sleep,” he said, his voice gravel.
“I can’t move my legs.”
He leaned forward, hooking his hands under her arms, and lifted her. She was dead weight, boneless. He stood, carrying her against his chest. Her head lolled on his shoulder. He walked them past the communications desk, past the main living area with its ghostly aquarium glow, and into the short, dark corridor that led to the master suite.
The door hissed open on silent hinges. The room was cooler, the air filtered and still. He didn’t turn on the light. He laid her in the center of the large bed, on top of the grey linen covers. In the absolute dark, her shape was just a softer shadow. He climbed in beside her.
For a long time, they just breathed. The silence was a physical presence, thicker than the bunker’s hum. Then his hand found hers on the sheets. Their fingers interlaced, tight. It was a simple, shocking act. More intimate than anything that had come before.
He pulled her closer, her back to his front, fitting his body around the curve of her own. His arm draped over her waist, his palm flattening on her stomach. He felt the slow, deep rhythm of her breathing there.
“You okay?” he murmured into the nape of her neck. His lips brushed her skin.
She shuddered. “Yeah. I’m… I’m really okay.” She paused. “That was a lot.”
“It was.”
“Needed it, though.”
“I know.”
He kissed her shoulder, a slow press of his mouth. Then another on the line of her spine. He was mapping her, not with hunger, but with a sobering recognition. This was the asset he’d recruited. This was the woman he’d just broken open. His hand moved from her stomach to her breast, cupping its heavy weight, not to arouse, but to hold. To feel its living warmth.
She covered his hand with hers, pressing it tighter against her.
“Tally?” McKenna asked, her voice small in the dark.
“Sleeping. Or pretending to. She’s fine.”
“She’s tough.”
“She is.” He nuzzled her hair. It smelled of sweat and sex and them. “You were brutal tonight. Telling her those things. Letting me say them.”
She shifted, turning in his arms to face him. He could barely see the gleam of her eyes. “It was true, wasn’t it?”
He didn’t answer immediately. He kissed her forehead. “It’s true right now. In this bed, with you, it’s the only truth.” His thumb stroked her cheek, finding wetness. “You’re crying.”
“Maybe.”
“Why?”
“Because I fucking hate needing anything this much.” Her voice cracked. “Because out there, it gets you killed. Needing. And in here… it’s all I am. A need. Your need.”
He pulled her head against his chest, tucking her under his chin. “It’s not. You’re the nurse. You’re the sharp tongue. You’re the protector. You’re the best fuck in a dead world.” He felt her laugh, a silent shake against him. “The need is just… the engine. It keeps the lights on.”
“Poetic,” she sniffed.
“Shut up.”
He kissed her then, a deep, slow, searching kiss that had no haste in it. His tongue tasted the salt of her tears, the lingering bitterness of his own come from her mouth. It was a claiming of a different sort. An acknowledgment of a shared ruin. Her hands came up, framing his face, her thumbs rough on his stubble.
When they broke apart, they simply held each other. His leg slid between hers, a comfortable anchor. Her knee hooked over his hip. The raw, screaming tension of the main room was gone. Here, there was only the quiet syncing of their breaths, the faint scent of their bodies cooling under the linen.
“Jesse?” she whispered, her lips against his collarbone.
“Hmm?”
“Thank you. For not being sorry. For taking what you wanted.”
He squeezed her tighter. “Go to sleep, Kenna.”
She did. Her breathing deepened, evened out, her body going heavy against his. He held her, watching the perfect black of the ceiling, listening. He heard the faint, electrical pulse of his sanctuary. He heard the woman in his arms. He heard the absence of wind, of screams, of moaning things scratching at the hatches.
It wasn’t peace. Peace was a memory for ghosts. This was a tactical advantage. This was a warm, breathing reason to keep the generators running. He buried his face in her hair and inhaled. His final thought, before sleep took him, was a simple, brutal calculation.
He would burn the world to keep this.
He would.
