Reader version is on Ao3. On here is the OC version.
Cassie waited for him.
She watched as he drops the body into the fire.
He looks up his eyes go in her direction. Cassie's eyes met with his. After a few moments he breaks the eye contact and returns to his duties.
Cassie continued to wait for him.
When his shift finally came to an end he looks back over at her and tilts his head a signal to meet him in his apartment.
She arrived ten minutes later. Her palms started to sweat as she waited anxiously for him to open the door. It has been a while since Cassie's last visit Joel gave her a good stash of the drugs and the booze it helped Cassie to forget about the past trauma and the harsh reality of the new world. Now Cassie needed a top up another round of the good old hard stuff that helps her sleep at night. Cassie knew Joel has recently gone out on another supply run smuggling in all the good stuff and part of the agreement between them both was that she would be the first customer to receive the essential items.
With another knock on the door and a heavy sigh Cassie tapped her feet impatiently wishing the son of a bitch would hurry up.
Eventually the door opens.
He greets her with a nod and gestures for her to come inside.
Joel wasn't exactly a welcoming host he preferred to skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point.
"All in there." He points to the rucksack. "The usual."
Cassie knew he wouldn't screw her over or lie to her however she still liked to check just in case.
So Cassie opened the bag and looked inside.
The tiny bag of cocaine sat in the corner with a couple of bottles of whiskey and bourbon. Cassie looks over her shoulder and frowns at him.
"It is getting harder as time goes on." Joel replied reading her mind. "Has to be rationed. Be grateful for what you have got."
Cassie sighs and closes the bag.
"Another reason this world fucking sucks."
Joel shrugs by her response.
What happens next Joel didn't need to tell her this process has been done many times now. Cassie couldn't pay with cash as money was useless in the Apocalypse so Cassie offered to pay in a different way at first Joel disagreed with the idea of sex but Cassie was desperate she needed the stash she needed to get rid of the nightmares that kept her up at night. After a moment of hesitation Joel agreed to the deal he may not admit it out loud but Cassie can see the 'sessions' benefited him as well it gives him a moment to forget about his past, his grief and his trauma.
It was just all strictly business.
Nothing more.
Cassie slips off her jacket followed by her shirt. He watched as she slips the shirt over he head revealing her naked flesh. Joel goes into her personal space. His hot breath hitting her face made a shiver run down her spine.
His hands go to her bra. He removes it and tosses it across the room. Cassie bites her lip as his eyes rake her body. His eyes lingered on her breasts.
His face is blank lacked of emotion however Cassie saw through that mask she saw in his eyes that familiar look of lust and passion and how the corner of his lips twitched with a small smile as he surveyed her body like she was a work of art.
Then his eyes shift on to her face.
"Get down on your knees."
She dropped down to her knees.
He looks down at her as he removes his belt. He pushes down his jeans followed by his boxers.
His erection sprung out.
Although Cassie has seen it many times she still gasps at the sight.
He was so fucking huge!
Cassie took his length into her hands and slowly draws him into her mouth. Cassie almost choked as his length hit the back of her throat.
Her head bops as she starts to suck him. He grips her hair tight an a growl escapes his throat as she starts to pick up the pace.
He cursed. He pulls her hair back forcing her to look at him wanting her to see his reaction he knew Cassie got off on his reaction seeing the tough, stoic face man fall apart in front of her very eyes it was fascinating, exhilarating!
Cassie smirks at his face. She increase her grip on his length and carried on sucking him until eventually he reached his climax and spilled himself all inside her.
Joel gasps as he pulls himself out. Cassie licks her lips relishing the taste of him in her mouth.
"Get up!" He ordered.
Cassie stands up. The smirk was back on her face remembering how quickly he fell apart then.
"Seems you can't hold it in for much longer now."
"Shut up!" He spoke with a low growl.
His hand goes to her chin. He tilts her head up and examines her features.
His eyes then went to her lips.
He wanted to kiss her, the temptation was clear on his face but no kissing was one of the rules to their agreement Joel said kissing is intimate and a possible risk to developing feelings for one and another and Joel made it clear this is a no strings attached relationship this is just strictly business.
He continued to stare at her lips until Cassie clears her throat.
"Joel?"
He blinks then shakes his head.
He then turns away and nods to bed.
Cassie removes the rest of her clothing and climbs on to bed. She lies down and open her legs for him.
Shortly after he comes on to bed. All his clothes are discarded on the floor alongside with hers.
He sucks and teases her nipples. Cassie gasps as he bites down hard on her neck. The burning passion of desire returned to his eyes as he went down between her legs. His finger went down her thigh towards her entrance. Another gasp escapes Cassie's lips as he shoves a finger inside her.
He goes in and out. He pumps her harshly and enjoys the sweet sounds that came from her mouth.
Then he sticks another finger in.
"Fuck!" She cursed.
It was only faint but Cassie heard it she heard the soft chuckle from him. She made him fall apart so it was only natural he was going to return the favor.
Moments later Joel removes his fingers and licks them clean. He then positions himself between her legs. He then slides himself between her folds and starts to thrust her.
A series of curses slip through Cassie's lips as she throws her head back against the board. Her hands grip the bedsheets tight until her knuckles turned white.
"Fuck! Cassie!" He cursed.
Hearing her name off his tongue. His slow, husky voice never failed to send a wave of excitement through her. Cassie can already feel the fire starting to form at the bottom of her belly.
As he continued to rock her, Cassie started to feel the heat down there becoming more intense and the need to release became stronger.
"Joel...please!"
It came out as a whimper a desperate plea begging him to let her cum she badly needed to she couldn't hold it in much longer.
He felt her legs shaking beneath him. He can sense she was struggling to carry on. Under all those layers of his Cassie saw the rare look of concern in his eyes. He was worried about her.
Joel's hand rests on her cheek. His wide eyes looked her over. He then nods giving her permission to let go.
Seconds later Cassie did let go.
With a grunt he let go as well.
Cassie sighs as he pulls himself out of her Cassie's mind was in a bliss a haze and she saw stars floating in her vision.
After several blinks her vision clears up. Cassie let out another sigh as she sat up.
Joel was already getting dressed.
Neither spoke about that possible intimate moment then.
Cassie got up and got dressed as well then she scooped the rucksack over her shoulder. Joel remained silent as Cassie went to the door. Cassie glanced over her shoulder at him.
"Until next time." She said.
"Hmm." He responded.
Then with a small wave Cassie closes the door and returns to her room awaiting another night of a drunken haze and imagining Joel Miller's face as he makes love to her.
Moments like that helps to keep the nightmares away. Although Joel will not admit it out loud Cassie knew Joel will also sleep better tonight as well.
Cassie thought back that to those intimate moments the way he looked at her lips and the concern he showed for her back there.
Maybe...
Then Cassie shakes her head.
It is just business nothing else.
Just strictly business.
The End
