Feral Crown: An Age Gap Romance (Crown Brothers Book 4)

Feral Crown: Chapter 3



This girl is going to be the death of me. Fuck. I steal glances as the truck bounces up the steep mountain road, and it’s a big mistake.

The truck isn’t the only thing jostling and the flannel I threw over her isn’t done up, exposing the inner curves of her breasts with every bump in the road.

And I’d be lying if I said if I weren’t looking forward to Deadman’s pass. That tiny strip is craggier than cottage cheese. It’s sure to make the ladies come out and play.

Dammit. That’s so fucked up. This is Ericson’s little sister, and she’s barely turned eighteen and I’m half way to forty.

“So, are you going to tell me what gives? You can’t just kidnap me whenever you feel like it.” Melissa’s tone is pure ice. She isn’t even looking my way, and I have to say, it bothers me.

Maybe it’s selfish, but I’ve gotten used to her attention and this new ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude is throwing me for a loop. No, I’ve never acted on her fixation before. It’s wrong. It’s sick.

Which is exactly why I needed to get the hell out of dodge when the thoughts of her started to skew into the forbidden.

“Well?! I’m waiting.” She’s finally turned to me, her eyes narrowed in disgust. Another novelty.

With a deep sigh, I slow the truck, giving her one small glance and apparently it was the wrong thing to do. In her agitation, Melissa has managed to expose herself to me for the second time today and I don’t think my cock can take it.

I’m a throbbing mess beneath my zipper, the thick rod pulsing in need. Need of her undoubtedly tight pussy.

“Jesus, Mel. Put those things away.” I let my eyes drift back to the road, and just in time as we reach Deadman’s Pass.

Melissa releases a little squeak before she’s moving her delectable body closer to mine. “He isn’t here, Maverick. And what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.”

Just when I thought my cock couldn’t get any harder, Melissa places a small hand on my lap, her slender fingers trailing up and dangerously close to my throbbing member.

Goddammit, Mel! I told you, no!” With every bit of strength I possess, I rip her hand from my body and instantly regret it.

It feels wrong. Wrong to deny her touch. Wrong to ignore whatever spark this is between us.

And as soon as my eyes land on hers, I know it was wrong because it’s hurt her, my baby doll.

Water pools in those azure eyes and I know I’ve fucked up. Needing to remedy the situation, I go to touch her face, but Mel pulls away. “Don’t. Don’t touch me.”

My head rears back and the truck swerves, I’d taken my eyes off the road for a second too long, lost in the misstep of my actions. As expected, the road takes no mercy on me, and one of the embedded boulders gives way—making us slide off the road and into the ditch leading us straight to certain death.

Everything flashes before me, my life, Melissa, her body and her soul. The last two, precious things I’ve yet to taste.

Melissa’s screams pierce through my mental fog, and the reality that if I don’t right us right-the-fuck-now we’re as good as dead hits me like a ton of bricks.

There’s a small ledge to the left of the ravine, and if I miss it, that’s it.

Swerving in that direction, I pray with all that I have for the truck to hold, hitting the brakes and sliding at just the right angle to keep us alive.

One. Two. Three.

The following seconds drip by slower than molasses, but in the end, I know I must’ve been good in a past life. The truck comes to a stop with a jerk, our bodies flinging forward, and on instinct my arms reach for Mel.

She’d taken off her seatbelt, making her lithe body fling toward the windshield. Fuck me over and call it my end, but Mel? She still has her whole life ahead of her and I could never forgive myself if anything happened to her because of me.

Bringing her practically naked body to mine, I grip her hard, unable to stop myself from taking in a breath of her peaches and cream scent. God, she smells so good. My dick takes notice too, the fucker jumping up and against her bikini-clad ass, something that makes her startle. Right then, her big blue eyes find mine and there’s such vulnerability in them that it threatens to break me on the spot.

“Mav?” She’s trembling, the adrenaline of the moment catching up with her.

“Shh, baby doll. You’re okay. We’re safe.” I rip my eyes from her, assessing our precarious position on the ravine’s edge. Truth is, we’re safe—for now. I’m not sure how much longer the ground will hold us.

She’s nodding, her hands gripping onto my shirt as she brings herself closer. Closer, but not close enough.

“We need to get out of the truck. See if there’s a way to make it back up to the road.”

My brave girl nods once more, her face becoming solemn with resolve. “Okay. Let’s do it.”

Pride fills my chest at her strength, this girl that had been so ready to give up on life not three years ago, yet here she is, not batting a lash.

“Atta girl.” I give her ass a little smack before carrying her bridal style, the action causing the prettiest blush to settle over her cheeks, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the effect I have on her.

What can I say? I’m one sick fuck.

“On the count of three I’m going to open this door and get us out. No matter what, you hang onto me as if your life depends on it. You hear me, baby?”

“I hear you.” Mel gives me a jerky nod, her eyes closing in the process.

“One, Two…” I wrench open the door and jump out with Melissa in my arms, taking a massive breath of fresh air when the ground doesn’t give beneath us.

Not wanting to test our luck any further, I make haste up the side of the mountain, using every bit of knowledge I have to avoid soft spots and get us to safety.

In the minutes that seem like hours, I’ve managed to switch Melissa onto my back, having her climb me like a spider monkey and allowing me the ability to get us to the top faster. Yes, having her in this position made it easier for our climb, but it sure as fuck wasn’t easier on my cock.

Her breasts rubbing against my back paired with the heat of her pussy pressed against me had my mind drifting to activities not suited for climbing. It was sheer torture and reaching the top should give me reprieve from these wayward thoughts. It should. But it doesn’t.

As Melissa’s body slides off of my own, I feel every curve and all of the softness that is her, my body instantly becoming addicted to the sensation of her body against mine. Not good. This just won’t do.

“What now?” Melissa, who has managed to wreck me in every way possible, is looking up at me with such innocence and worry that it takes every bit of lead out of my selfish cock, putting me in check and getting my head on straight.

“We walk until we reach a break in the cliff. It’ll let us go deeper into the mountain and camp out for the night until day brakes. It isn’t safe out here. The road is too narrow and if anyone were to drive by, I wouldn’t trust them to take us out.”

Melissa shiver’s and I know that if I want to keep her safe, I need to get us settled for the night ASAP.

“Here.” I place a hand on her lower back, guiding her off the road and into the woods.

“Do you know where we’re going?” Mel peers back at me over her shoulder and I swear I’ve never seen anything as pretty.

“Of course I do.” And that’s the truth. This is my terrain. Where I feel the most comfortable. “One of my hunting cabins is up ahead, just north of here. About a twenty-minute hike.”

At this she stops, her lithe body colliding against mine and making my cock twitch. Down boy.

“Twenty minutes?” She looks down at her feet and it’s then I see that she’s barefoot.

“What happened to your shoes?”

Melissa rolls her eyes, “I’d kicked them off in the car.”

I suck in my lips and nod. There’s no way in hell she’ll make the walk like this. Without even thinking, I pick her up and throw her over my shoulder, her small hands pressing against my back as I carry her fireman style.

“Maverick! What are you doing!?”

“Protecting your feet.” But truth be told, if I carried her the way I did when I was climbing up the mountain, I don’t think I’d be able to hold back. One more second of her tits rubbing up against me and I’d be rutting into her like an animal in heat.

“Fine, but your huge shoulder is digging into my stomach.” Just then she wiggles her ass, the ass which happens to be right by my head and I don’t know if this position is any better. Fuck me. This is going to be one long hike.
