Backstage at the Freak Show (Harem of Freaks #7) - Crystal Ash Page 0,52
tapping into their animal sides, but whatever it was made the sex extra fucking hot.
My dress now bunched up material around my waist, Tak closed my legs and placed them against his shoulder. I braced myself for the impact of his cock, but he pulled the fabric over my hips and up and over my legs first. Then he slammed into me.
“Oh fuck!” My scream echoed off the trees at the sudden intrusion. He felt bigger, thicker than I remembered.
“Miriam.” Tak moaned my name again, drinking me in as he hugged my legs to his chest. His hips rolled, dragging his cock out of me before pressing in again.
“Tak,” I groaned back, my hands scrambling for purchase on the ground, on his thick thighs. “More, baby. I need to feel you.”
He separated my legs, moving them to his sides so I could wrap around him, then he leaned over me, pressing his palms into the ground as his gaze locked on mine.
“This is what kept me going, you know. When I was captured.” His flesh slapped mine with every thrust. My hands flew to his arms, flexed and strong. I could only marvel at his powerful body moving through me.
“Fucking me?” I asked with a breathless laugh.
“Fucking you, smelling you, touching you.” He lowered further over me, catching my mouth in a rough, possessive kiss. “Hearing your laugh and your sexy moans.” His lips ghosted a trail down over my chest, thrusts slowing down to long, deep strokes in and out of my pussy. “Feeling your heartbeat.” He pressed a kiss on my left breast. “Because my heart doesn’t beat without yours.”
“Tak,” I gasped, bringing his face back up to mine.
I kissed my big, beautiful lone wolf with everything in me, locking my ankles behind his back to pull him in deeper, to feel every inch of him. Mindful of his injuries, I ran my fingers over every part of him that I could reach, memorizing him with my touch. He lowered his body over me, bare skin rolling and kissing as his thrusts deepened, stretching and filling me to the brim.
“I love you, Tak,” I whimpered, nails clawing across his wide back, the pleasure coiling in my clit from the friction of his heavy body on top of me.
“I love you,” he rasped against my throat. “My heart, there’s no me without you.”
“Never leave me again.” My plea was breathless against his ear.
“Never,” he promised with a groan, his thrusts picking up speed as he sensed my pleasure.
“Tak…” My fingers and toes curled into his flesh, the tension winding up in me like a compressed spring.
“Yes, my heart,” he purred, anchoring my hip down with a large hand as he crashed into me, hitting my clit in the way that was just fucking right. “Come on my cock.”
I was wound up so tight I couldn’t breathe through his next few thrusts that sent me hurtling over the edge. Only when my release shot throughout my whole body did my breaths come in ragged, desperate gasps.
“Oh, Miriam,” Tak groaned as he pulsed and swelled inside me, heightening the sweet aftershocks rippling through me.
“Yes, come for me,” I whimpered. “I want to feel you.”
But he held back, pausing while seated deep inside me to kiss me with a week’s worth of longing, love, and passion. Only after we came up for air did he start moving again, with his thumb against my clit to coax another orgasm out of me.
My next release spurred his, arms and torso stiffening as he came, the muscles sexy and sculpted in the moonlight.
Tak rolled off of me, then promptly pulled me on top of him, hands caressing naked skin as our heartbeats stamped against each other.
“Your back is covered in dirt,” he chuckled, wiping clods and blades of grass off of me.
“You’re the one who took off my dress,” I retorted, tracing lines down his skin as I nestled into his shoulder. “Could’ve just left it on.”
“Never,” he scoffed, fingers grazing the side of my breast as he caressed me. “Sex should always be completely naked. That’s my only rule.”
“Mm-hmm.” I hummed happily, gazing up to the stars glittering above us when a question struck me. “How did you escape?”
Tak’s arms tightened around me, his lips brushing my forehead as the silence stretched on between us.
“There are some bad humans that are no longer alive,” he said finally. “I know I can’t hunt them like I used to, but—”
“Tak, it’s okay.” I kissed his neck. “You were defending yourself. You had to get out.”
He cupped my face, eyes finding mine in the dark. “I know, but I also know the effort you’re all trying to make in working with humans. I had to leave the bodies and run. It won’t look good—”
“I don’t care.” I silenced him with a kiss. “They’ll spin it and try to demonize you in any way possible but I don’t care. You have teeth and claws for a reason. I’m glad you used them.”
He sighed and let the back of his head hit the ground. “I was so worried you’d turn me away.”
“I got worried when I didn’t hear from you. And then confused,” I admitted. “I should have asked Mel or Arjun’s contacts to check on you. I should have known—”
“Don’t blame yourself, my heart.” He stroked my cheek. “I was too careless. But it’s over now. I wasn’t sure if you’d take me back, but I’d find my way here even if all my paws were amputated just on the chance that you would.”
“No more talk of that,” I said with a soft thump to his chest. “Let’s go home and surprise the guys.”
He grinned, bright and toothy as he rolled us up to sitting. “Forget the clothes, let’s go back naked.”
“And they’ll just want to fuck again,” I laughed.
“That’s the idea.” Tak nuzzled me. “Maybe in the stream where we can wash this dirt off.” His mouth traveled down my chest. “Where the cold water will make your nipples all tight and sensitive while your men keep you warm.”
“Hm, you make a tempting offer,” I grinned, sliding off his lap. “And I sure would kill to see their reaction.”
“Let’s do it.” He jumped to his feet, powerful legs pushing up to his imposing height as he took my hand. “Again and again, until you can’t stand us anymore.”
I grinned back, skipping on bare feet and buck naked under the moonlight as we headed toward the cottage. “It’ll be a long time before that happens.”
A note from the author
This one was for the amazing readers who journeyed with Mel and her gang since Freak Show. As of writing this, it’s been over two years since Freak Show was first published!
* * *
My life as an author has changed so much since I started writing this series, and yet coming back to them with this book felt like coming home. That warm, squishy feeling when you see a good friend for the first time after years apart, that was what it felt like returning to these characters. I hope it felt the same for you!
* * *
I will always have a special place in my soul for this family of loving, sexy freaks. They were one of my first reverse harem story ideas and tested my skills as an author. That being said, this is currently the end of their story, their happily ever after. I’m proud of giving them the ending they deserve after so much struggle.
* * *
Whether you have stumbled across this series recently, or have been a reader since the beginning, thank you! I am endlessly grateful for my readers who fall in love with my characters and support me. It truly means the world.

If you’d like to stay updated on what’s coming next, I would love to have you in my reader group, Crystal’s Coven. See you in the next book!
