CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

"Shush," she commanded, placing a finger over his lips. He nipped at her finger, but kept still as she ran her hands over his chest. She slowly moved them down to his nipples, brushing her thumb against them. They turned into hard pebbled, and she leaned forward and licked each one. John breathed deeply, and she felt his body stiffen, along with his manhood. Harper smiled, feeling pleased that she could make his body respond like that.

She ran her fingers slowly down some more, over his stomach, and took one nipple into her mouth, gently sucking. Her fingers wrapped around his erection, and John hummed happily. She moved her mouth to his other nipple, sucking gently as she moved her hand up and down. His head leaned back against the wall, and his hands moved gently into her hair, his fingers moving through it. She gave his nipple one final lick and then slid down to her knees.

John watched her intensely, his eyes heavy with lust. She looked up at him for a moment and then focused on the task at hand, so to say. She took him into her mouth slowly, savoring his taste and hardness. She worked her mouth up and down, moving her hand in the same motion. She tongued him gently, and he gripped her hair a bit harder, not that she minded. He groaned loudly and moved his hips in synch with her mouth. After a few more moments, he tugged at her hair, and she pulled away from him. She looked up into his eyes, and John growled as he pulled her up roughly and turned her around.

"Oh!" she exclaimed breathily as he pushed against her back, causing her to fall forward toward the bed. Her palms caught her, and John spread her legs apart with his legs. Her body shook with need as he slid his hand over her behind, her legs barely holding her up. He placed a kiss on the bottom of her back before he slid in slowly. They both groaned together, and Harper pressed back to take him deeper.

"You undo me," John rasped, starting to thrust quickly. Harper leaned down more, the angle making him hit that special spot as he thrust hard, over and over. She muffled her pants and whimpers and cries in the blanket, and John held her hips tightly, causing a slight bruising.

"Oh, god, I can't wait," she whimpered, pressing backwards to match his thrusts. The wave of pleasure was crashing closer and closer to the edge.

"Come with me," John growled, gripping tighter. He thrust inside her, so hard she moved forward on the bed and the wave crashed down over her, causing her to shudder and muffle her sounds of pleasure as he finished inside her. John's thrusting slowed down, and he panted as he spilled his seed into her. After a moment they both stopped moving, their breathing intense. Harper stayed in the position, afraid to spoil the moment if she moved. John pulled out of her slowly, and flung himself on the bed.

Harper followed him and they moved together so they were cuddle on the bed, John on his back, and Harper laying with her head and a hand on his chest. They didn't speak as their breathing slowed. Harper needed to clean up, but at the moment, she wanted to just lay there with John. Words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know if she should say it or not.

John's head was muddled with emotion and physical satisfaction. He held Harper against him, one hand beneath his head. Harper was beginning to doze off, and he smiled. They did not have to speak to be comfortable with one another. His rubbed his thumb absentmindedly along Harper's arm as she breathed softly on his chest, his eyelids heavy. For a moment, nothing was more important than them being together, and sleep overtook him with a smile on his face. Everything was going to be okay.

"Mom! Wake up! Come on, Mom! John!"

The knocking on the bedroom door was insistent and loud. Harper blinked against the sunlight entering the bedroom through the window, and raised her hand to block out the light. John woke up immediately, sitting straight up, eyes wide. Realizing who was knocking at the door, Harper pushed herself out of the bed.

"Just a moment!" she called, pulling on one of John's shirts, and grimaced when she realized it only reached her mid-thighs. Lennox knew about sex, but she didn't need to know about Harper's sex life. Unfortunately, it couldn't be helped right now. She ran a hand through her hair and unlocked and opened the door. Lennox looked like she had just woken up as well. "What's wrong?"

"Logan is on the news," she huffed, eyeing her mother's outfit with an odd look. Harper pulled at the edge of the shirt, and blushed a bit. John had pulled on his pants and now stood behind her. Lennox wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes. "I thought you'd want to see. Ew." She added as she turned and headed toward the living room.

Harper followed her blue pajama-clad daughter into the living room with John, and saw Tiberius lounging on the couch. The blankets were folding and neatly placed at the end of the couch, along with the pillow. Tiberius was dressed, and Harper sincerely wished she had put on some pants. She felt exposed in just a t-shirt.

"I'll watch it, go get dressed," John murmured with a brush of his lips over her cheek. She sent him a weak smile and headed back into the room. John sat in the chair near the couch as Lennox slid to the floor next to him. "What is going on, Lennox?"

"Logan is talking about Jordan Garner and you," she answered, pointing at the television. All three of them watched Logan speak to the news reporter.

"Jordan Garner has been linked with the Mayor, exchanging drugs and drug money for power over the city. He has tortured and murdered innocent people with this power. The Mayor allowed it for the benefit of being in office. Daniel Bryant has no link to them, except for buying Vertigo from Garner's drug network. John Harrison, a close friend of mine, and Harper Tyler were the ones who brought the evidence to my attention. As you all know, I work side by side with the police of Raeven in a regular basis. Due to Garner's power over the city, it took a while to give the information to a safe person."

"Mr. Steel, do you have any comments about Garner's accusation of being set up? What about the accusation of your involvement in the corruption in the town?" This came from a young dark-skinned woman who looked fresh to the news world.

"Oh, please," Lennox scoffed, wrinkling her nose. Tiberius watched curiously, but not saying anything. It had nothing to do with him, so no need to interrupt. It was fascinating to watch the savage intellect they had all been warned about become so domesticated.

"The only comment I have is that we have evidence that proves his involvement with the Mayor and his drug network." Logan nodded to the reporters, and left with cameras flashing behind him. He walked into the building behind him. The news channel switched to other topics, and Lennox turned off the television.

"I don't think we'll have to worry about him anymore," John smirked to Lennox. She nodded aggressively and stood up. She went back to her room, and just after the door closed music could be heard being turned on.

"I hope we don't," Harper said as she answered. She had been leaning against the door frame just as the news reporter began to ask Logan questions. She took a place on the floor, beside John's feet. She leaned back against the couch, and he ran his hand absentmindedly through her hair. Tiberius stared at them, both lost in thought and just enjoying the moment of peace.

"This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen," Tiberius commented, pushing himself off the couch.
