For Karrin

[dresdenforhire]

There's a saying- when the going gets tough the tough get going to the little blonde woman with the cute nose and is even tougher. Not many people say that but it's definitely a saying I use. Well, I don't exactly say it out loud but I definitely think it. I think about Karrin Murphy for a lot of reasons but one of them is definitely help with the tough things. She may not pack a magical wallop but she doesn't need to. Plus she's not afraid to call me on being a dumb ass and that's a very important trait I look for when things are tough. Plus I can fit more gear in the Blue Beetle if she's the other person riding with me.

So that's why I was pulling up outside of her house unannounced late Friday afternoon. I needed help at the last minute for a rather unpleasant job and I knew Karrin Murphy well enough that I knew if she had to she'd cancel plans to help me. Not as any huge favor for me most likely but because she knew I wouldn't ask if it wasn't really important.

Unfolding myself out of the car I made my way up to her front door. I could feel the energy around the place, the magical barrier that all homes had. Of course hers was stronger than most, her grandmother having lived her and it being truly a home.

I stopped short of the door and used my staff to knock. I wasn't sure what types of electronics she might have on her or near the door since I was showing up without warning and I didn't want to fry anything important. I at least try to be courteous about that, especially if I'm going to be asking someone for help.

She didn't hate magic, or that he was a wizard. She knew he'd used magic to do wonderous things, she'd seen him save lives with it as much as she'd seen him destroy things. He wasn't alone in being pleased over the fact that they were a couple now. And to think they might have gotten here earlier had they both not been too stubborn to talk to each other beforehand.



She chuckled yeah she'd be paying for that later she was sure, the only thing more reliable than his ability to dig a hole deeper was his tenaciousness to follow through on his own brand of humor. She had no idea how it would come back to bite her in the ass.

But that was for later, he'd jumped at the bait just like she knew he would. It was an effort not to smile at how easy that had been. "The attentive boyfriend side." Karrin smirked and reached up to draw him down for a kiss, another of those soft sweet kisses, quite literally this time due to a tiny bit of marshmallow on her lower lip.

[dresdenforhire]

I didn’t even have time to respond as she pulled me down for a kiss, the sweet taste of chocolate and marshmallow on her lips. I hummed happily and pulled her onto my lap so that we were at a better height for this sort of thing. My fingers brushed along her cheek as I cupped the back of her head and my mouth travelled down her jaw and to her neck.

“I like how convenient your short hair is,” I told her, delighted at how much of her neck was exposed as I covered it with suckling kisses and nibbles. As I did so my arms slipped under hers and around her, hands moving up her back to rub her shoulders and down to her lower back. I could be a very attentive boyfriend.

[murph]

The lift and sit move took her by surprise. Something about the easy show of his strength was surprisingly effective at stirring her up. The Dresden she'd always thought of was muscular enough to get in and out of fights but she could take him. He wasn't the sort who had bulky muscle and that was easy to take for granted. She'd underestimated him and the added strength of his new workout lifestyle and whatever winter had given him. Whatever it was she created to it more than she ready to deal with.

Not like she'd dated weak guys, hell Jared had been thickly muscled and thrown her over his shoulder more than a few times on their Hawaiian trip. She had laughed but not felt aroused by that display, so why now did she squirm for Harry?

He wasn't helping when he moved to her neck. "Dear God, yes."Karen tipped her head back, to the side, whichever way gave him more access to her throat. His hands felt wonderfully strong and solid on her. She wanted to feel more of them.

"Should have done this a long time ago." She almost whimpered, her hands carding through his hair taking fistfuls in a strong grip and soft pull.

[dresdenforhire]

I couldn't reply right away because she had broken my brain. She wasn't even really doing much but hearing her enthusiasm for what I was doing and the tug on my hair just broke me. I groaned and bit down where her neck and shoulder met, making sure that if I marked her she'd be able to cover it up. We hadn't had the "can I leave visible marks" talk yet so I wanted to play it safe. But boy did I want to leave marks where others could see and REALLY wanted her to leave them.

I made an obscene sound as I squirmed under her, fingers kneading her muscles even as they made their way lower so that I could slide them under her shirt. I trembled just a bit as my rough hands made contact with the smooth skin of her muscular back. I could feel Winter pushing at me hard to just shove Karrin down and take what I want and part of me wanted that as well but I wasn't going to let that loose just yet.

"Fuck we should have," I said, my voice suprisingly low and just barely a whisper as I moved my mouth back to her lips and kissed her deeply again.

[murph]

She hissed when he bit her, a sound that was part and surprise part longing. As far as his brain might take it in there was at least a green light on that level of mark, it was indeed a conversation they would need to have at some point. Her input to it might surprise him.

And then his hands were on her skin and they were cool, not like icy from a cold night but cool in the way it felt to walk into a room of air conditioning after being in the hot sun. Immediately her mind went to wondering how those hands would feel on other, more heated parts of her body. Which was why his kiss and comment were greeted with a low groan. "Then we've got time to make up for."

Karrin shifted, extending her legs behind him before locking them around his waist in a strong grip. She kissed back as she did everything, fiercely, and with all of her. Her chest pressed to his, her hips rocked to bring them together even with layers of denim between them. Her grip in his hair sharpened and she pulled him to her hard enough that it showed she had no plans on letting him go any time soon.

[dresdenforhire]

I couldn’t even say a word of agreement because we were missing again and my whole world was the feel of our bodies together. Her lips seemed almost searing against mine and I gave a deep groan as she rocked against me. I was so hard I was sure that if she wasn’t careful I was going to come before my pants even came off.

Gripping that divine backside of hers to keep her steady I stood up. She was surprisingly light, even though I didn’t think she’d be all that heavy, I guess I had just never carried a person around all that much while on Winter. It made me wonder what else all this strength would be good for besides the obvious.

“Tent?” I asked, gasping for breath just a bit as I felt my heart hammer in my chest. I gripped her ass a bit tighter, for safety and all, and took a few steps toward the tent.

[murph]

He hefted her like she was nothing and there was something sexy about it and the fact that he made a move to get them somewhere that they could explore more of what they'd started.

She clung to him and when he mentioned the tent she nodded. "Now." She said, not quite a command but it was more than simple agreement. Karrin did love the feel of his grip on her and flexed a bit to make it a little more interesting for him too.

She didn't look behind them, just trusted him to get them inside and set her down. She couldn't wait to get in and start taking their clothes off, especially his. Not that she hadn't dressed enough of his wounds to see most of him before but this is a whole new context.

[dresdenforhire]

She was ruining me. The tone of her voice when telling me "now" and the way she flexed her ass? I was so ruined. So ruined and I couldn't wait to get my mouth between her legs or have her grind on my face just as badly as I wanted to be in her. I fiddled with the zipper of the tent, growling a bit in frustration as I struggled to get it while holding Karrin and being distracted by her everything.

Once I got it open we practically fell in as I rolled so that I was on my back and she was on top of me. My hips arched up as I tried to get some friction on my aching cock, needing some sort of relief even though that only made me ache more.

"We have way too many clothes on."

[murph]

Karrin swung her legs down when he moved to drop into the tent and her body turned with him so she was straddling him. To avoid clunking heads and chipping teeth she'd leaned back and out of the kiss before he'd moved much so it left her seated atop him with her hands planted on his abdomen.

"Definitely too many clothes." But it didn't seem that she was in any hurt to work on her own as her hands went immediately to his belt. Deft fingers unfastening it and his pants in a few seconds before she drew her fingers, nails down, along his skin.

"Take off the shirt." She kept her splayed hands moving over his skin, a drag of nails for the moment but she had enough strength that they could bite if she wanted.

[dresdenforhire]

I sucked in a breath when she told me to take off my shirt. Seeing her straddling me with the way she looked at me, her eyes a mix of desire and caring, was perfect. This was all I ever wanted in a relationship, someone that cared for me deeply and wanted to top me. Okay, maybe not ALL but that was high on the list. Or maybe, maybe it was just because it was her, because she was so perfect for me? Hell's Bells, right then I didn't care I just wanted her.

Hissing in pleasure at the feel of her nails on my skin I nodded at the command. I wasn't sure if she wanted me to call her a specific name or reply out loud, I wasn't sure of the rules, but I willingly obeyed and unbuttoned my flannel shirt and shrugged out of it. I could see the rise and fall of my chest and I was sure my heart was beating hard enough that she could hear it.

[murph]

He had been working out, damn. Treating someone's wounds was a lot different than getting to look at them in a sexually charged moment and she was taking her time to drink him in. His shoulders had always been fairly broad but now he'd filled out to match them. He wasn't bulky muscle but lean and strong obvious muscle. And it was very appealing.

Karrin was in charge of the pace and she'd decided she wanted to play with her food a bit before the main course, so she leaned down planting a hand on either side of his shoulders to let her nuzzle along his neck all hot breath and scrapes of teeth. Her words murmured into his skin. "Do you have any idea what I am going to do to you? What I'm going to make you do for me?" A sharp nip of her teeth with the last and she was moving again.

Her hips ground down over his in a figure eight, just keeping pressure on him. Her mouth made way to his nipple, tongue flicking across it before her teeth latched on with a snapping bite that lasted long enough to sting before freeing it and more sweeps of her tongue rolled over it.

[dresdenforhire]

Stars and Stones she was going to break me. That wasn’t hyperbole, I was realizing that Karrin Murphy was fully planning on breaking me with pleasure. I had seen what she was like when she was zeroed in on something and the singular focus she had was beyond impressive.

She was going to break me and I was going to beg her to do it, I could tell. Just feeling her touch me, her voice low as she asked her question had me grinning.

“Well not now that you say it like that,” I groaned, rocking my hips up. Had I ever been this hard before, needed release more? If I had I couldn’t recall it at the moment.

Before I could give another smart remark, and really it was going to be quite brilliant, her teeth came together on my nipple and my back arched high off the ground. I cried out her name in pleasure as my body shook a bit.

[murph]

Dear God this was going to be good. Harry had risen up so hard that he'd raised her with him. That was so damned hot, she was already imagining him between her thighs and all the wonderful things he could do what that power and strength.

Karrin moved further down along his body, teeth worrying his flesh along his sternum, his abdomen, the cut of his hip. Dow until her hands could hook into his pants and draw them down. She wanted to see him naked under her hands.

It would be glorious to see him bucking and heaving, but that was all in due time. Right now she wanted to see him and then she wanted him to see her. It took work, wriggling him out of jeans and boots until he just had underwear and socks on. And neither was hiding much.

"God, there is just so much of you isn't there."

[dresdenforhire]

It was blissful agony to have her strip me, mouth working along my skin. I wanted her to mark me, to claim me. Part of that was probably in defiance of Winter that wanted the opposite of that, a way for me to know that those feelings were all kind, but also because I just fucking loved it.

She had stripped me down to my boxers but that wasn’t really hiding anything, my cock making a tent of the fabric. I’d been in various stages of arousal since our kiss in the car but now it was a full on “raging hard on” situation.

“I do take up a lot of the tent,” I admitted even as I watched her closely. She seemed to be enjoying her view and I couldn’t help but squirm under her. Having Karrin look at me like that, not just with desire but caring as well? This was amazing.

Glancing down at my chest I frowned just a bit. “You didn’t leave any marks...”

[murph]

Karrin stopped, and she went serious for a moment. All sensuality put on hold while she leaned forward, her hand touching his cheek lightly. "We never talked about if that was something you were ok with, and I don't want to do something that you're not ok with." She kissed him but it was barely a brush of her lips over his, in as much contrast to her previous actions as was possible.

"So, if I want to mark what is mine with teeth and nails do you want me to?" The statement was oddly seeking permission and yet still holding that dominance over him at the same time. She withheld all contact other than her hand on his cheek until they resolved this very important question.

[dresdenforhire]

“Fuck yes,” I groaned, not even bothering to hide the pleading edge to my words. She could write “Property of Karrin Murphy” on me and I would be fine with it. I’d let her do just about anything she wanted when she referred to me as hers. I knew that was partially her being dominant but that also sent a flood of that fuzzy-type warmth and affection through me. The fact that she could make me feel that while talking about biting and scratching me was just another sign of how what we had was special. Find you a lady who could do both and all that.

“Please mark what’s yours however you want,” I reassured her, even as I was grateful for checking with me first.

[murph]

"Glad we got that settled."

And with those words, she was back to the woman who was about to make him beg, in all the best ways. Karrin moved off him, depriving him of her heat and touch long enough for her to get to her feet, the tent was small but fortunately, she was short, there was no way he could have fully stood up in it without ducking his head.

He might have wondered just why it was she'd moved but he wouldn't have to wonder long as her right booted foot came to rest on his chest. "Unlace it."

Not as sexy as tall leather boots sure, but he'd dragged her up here and she'd come prepared. Fortunately there'd been plenty of time to clean them so his bare chest wouldn't be dirtied. Only feel the cold tread of her boot and a gentle pressure as Karrin waited hands on her hips for him to follow instructions.

[dresdenforhire]

I had to admit it wasn’t what I was expecting. Or maybe a boot to the chest wasn’t what I was hoping for, thinking she’d mark me now or she’d start to strip. I should have known that she wasn’t going to be predictable or give me what I wanted right away. I couldn’t help but think this probably wasn’t the first time she’d done this. Either that or she was really good at it. I made a mental note to thank her after this was all done and make sure that she had enjoyed this.

In the meantime I started undoing her laces. They were double knotted but despite how clumsy someone might think my fingers were on account of their size years of magic and guitar had left them pretty nimble. Deftly I undid the laces and pulled them loose just a bit so that it would be easier for her, or me, to slip her boot off.

[murph]

He was learning, he did only what he was told to, pretty quick catch for him. He earned a pleased smile and an exchange of one foot for the other. His deft motions helping her easily out of her boots which were really only about seeing how he responded to direction more than anything else.

Karrin shucked the boots off herself, again had they had a more conducive setting she'd have him kneeling on the floor while she sat and taking care of the boots all the way, but she had to work with what they had.

So it might be a shock to him that rather than touching him again she took a long moment to look along his body, as one might look along a buffet to decide where to start sampling first.

As she looked she let her own hands moved over her clothed form, hard to make out much detail under a sweatshirt and jeans but the movement of her hands was obvious enough. As was the implication that everything from here on out was on her schedule, not his. Fingertips inched her sweatshirt up over her belly, bearing skin above the low rise of her jeans. Her skin was not perfect, far from unblemished. She had scars, notably ones left by encounters with his enemies that had nearly ended her own life.

But scarred as she was she looked powerful, especially framed as she was by the firelight behind her. She pulled the sweatshirt, and everything under it up and off her easily and already hard nipples grew tighter from the sudden cold. He'd been used to women of fae beauty and she was just human, her body didn't have the unnatural curves of those beings but her breasts were firm and proud and moved enticingly as her arms cast away the shirt. She watched him watching her. "Is your mouth watering yet?"

[dresdenforhire]

See, I could follow rules when properly motivated, although I was definitely going be resistant on occasion at times like his right now I was behaving. Besides, I liked helping and making people I cared about happy so this was all definitely scratching that itch as well.

As she started to tug her sweater off I didn’t even try to hide the look of awe and hunger in my gaze. No, she wasn’t as flawlessly perfect as one of the Fae but she had something about her that they lacked. Maybe it was the scars that I knew came from protecting others or maybe it was because I knew she didn’t show this side of her to many people. Or maybe it was just because she had really incredible breasts, right now it was hard for me to focus on anything but “topless Karrin!!!”

“I want to worship your body with mine,” I confessed as an answer to her question. “I want to learn every inch of it and know all the things that make you feel the best. Please...”

[murph]

"Want?" Karrin asked with a raised brow. "If you don't need then I'm doing something wrong." She let one toe drag down his chest and to the erection barely held in check by his boxers.

"But as much as you like my tits, and I can't blame you they are spectacular, you really have been wanting to feast your eyes, and mouth on other parts of me, haven't you?" He didn't have to answer, it was the sort of question that didn't need an answer. And his body spoke volumes his words never could.

And then she slowly slid her thumbs around the waist of her jeans from her sides to the button at the fly. She let herself take several seconds to pop it, and then several more drawing the zipper down with an audible clack, clack, clack when each set of teeth parted. It was cruel and slow but she wanted his full attention where she wanted it. Shockingly the panties underneath were lace, and the peach of them stood out against the pale skin beneath. Just a peek of both before her hand slid down the front of her jeans and she practically purred. "Oh, already so hot and wet."

There was motion, both of her hand and her hips, whatever he wasn't seeing was all the more fuel for his imagination. There was teasing and then there was torture and Karrin wasn't really a fan of the latter so she drew her hand back and crooked her glistening fingers at him beckoning him to his knees. "Lick them clean, and take off my jeans." She held out her hand expectantly, waiting for him to comply.

[dresdenforhire]

I almost made a smart-ass remark about how she really should take things up a notch but I was more than aware of the fact that she could probably tease me worse than this even. I wasn’t going to push my luck just yet. Besides, any attempt at speaking would have been short circuited by her foot running along my crotch. I hissed in pleasure and squirmed at the effort of keeping my hips still as my hands dug into the sleeping bag under me.

And THEN she went and started playing with herself out of sight and I gave an involuntary whimper. I wanted her, I needed her, I needed to please her. When she ordered me to lick her fingers I sat up and slipped them in my mouth. Again, I could obey very well when properly motivated. I groaned in pleasure at the taste of her while my hands began to pull her pants down. My hands trembled just a bit at working to resist the urge to rip them off and just take her but it was easy to get lost in the feel of her soft, warm skin against my hands.

[murph]

Karrin lifted her feet out of her jeans when he got them to her ankles. He'd behaved well so far and seeing him so compliant and enjoying it made her all the more eager to get into the real fun.

Under other circumstances, in other places, there might have been more to do with build-up and teasing but they were here and now and determined to enjoy it to the fullest. "Now these." She tapped a finger against the lace of her panties. Close as he was there was no way he could miss her scent.

He'd have to peel them away from her as they were snug and she was wet, all his fault of course. As the lace descended and she was bared for him he'd see everything neat and smooth save a thing patch of pale blond curls. She'd once been told by an ex that she shouldn't shave because her hair looked like spun gold, it took a lot of self-consciousness out of how she felt as a woman and kept it neat and trimmed but not totally bare since.

She wasn't typically nervous about a lover seeing her, if they made it to that point they'd proven something about themselves and their desire for her. But she was, just a little with Harry. Probably because it wasn't just a lover, she knew even if she refused to say it that this was deeper than just sex, and deeper than just a fun fling. She couldn't say the word but she knew it was true all the same and that made all of this different and more intense for her.

While she wouldn't say anything they were about to do qualified as making love it was a hell of a lot more than just a quick fuck. But quick and hard was what they both needed right now, so that was how it would start.

"Show me how well you can worship me."

[dresdenforhire]

“Karrin...”

The word was quietly breathed as I looked at her, all of her, standing before me. There was no need to be nervous or worried because she was stunning and I was completely enraptured by how she looked. Karrin was achingly beautiful.

While our height difference was definitely going to cause some complications in some instances it was very convenient that while I was on my knees her breasts were right at head level. Given the command to worship her and the fact that they were right there I started with her breasts.

My mouth moved in lazy circles in orbit around her nipple, little suckling kisses and nibbles as I cupped the other one in my hand. My free hand came and cupped her ass, groping even as I pulled her closer to me. It was almost hard to believe that this was happening but it was certainly real because there was no way I could imagine her so perfect for me.

Figuring I had avoided them long enough my mouth finally moved over her nipple, sucking at it before biting a bit. I was sure that she’d let me know if she wanted it harder.

[murph]

It was a good start, he didn't waste time and was very thoroughly attentive. She wasn't sure how he normally was with a lover so they were both testing the waters so to speak. But he reacted positively to her, no sign of dissatisfaction with her body and that gave her own ego a boost. Everyone likes to feel desirable, Karrin was no exception to that.

The way he toyed with her breast, teasing around without touching the nipples was glorious, the sides of her breasts were sensitive and his cheeks rubbing against them felt amazing, as did his hand palming the other. His hands were large, as was all of him and her pert breast filled his palm neatly.

As much as her firm ass made him splay his fingers to get a good grip on her and draw her close. Solid with muscle and rounded with enough fat that gave it the softness he'd dreamed of exploring. And now he was, and it felt glorious.

Karrin's fingers combed back through his hair taking hold and when his lips closed over her nipple she hissed and pulled him hard against her, guiding him how she wanted him. A sample of what she'd do when he moved lower, but she wasn't letting him do that just yet.

"Bite, harder, and suck harder." She grunted the command to him with a tug of his hair.
