Chapter 29 — Ghosts & Queens
The elevator doors at Afterlife slid shut behind me.
Job done.
Reputation soaring.
And tonight?
I knew what I was walking into.
Rogue had messaged me one line.
> Rogue: "No business tonight. Come alone."
I was halfway down the hall to her private suite…
When the flicker hit.
---
Johnny glitched into existence beside me — arms crossed, mouth a hard line.
"You sure you know what you're doing?"
I didn't stop walking.
"Yeah. I'm rewriting your legend. Get used to it."
He stepped in front — solid enough this time I had to pause.
"Rogue plays for herself, hotshot.
And you're dancing close to the edge."
I met his glare head-on.
"Afraid I'll make her forget you?"
His jaw clenched.
"I'm saying… be ready when she bites back."
---
The door behind me opened.
Rogue leaned against the frame — leather jacket gone.
Fitted vest hugging every sharp line of her.
Her eyes flicked to Johnny.
"You coming in… or talking to your imaginary friend all night?"
Johnny faded with a low curse.
I smirked.
"Coming in."
---
Inside, the suite was dim — soft lights, single bottle of whiskey on the table.
Rogue poured two glasses.
"You're not what I expected," she said, handing me one.
I sipped.
"And what's that?"
Her eyes locked on mine.
"Someone I'd want this bad."
She set her glass down.
Stepped closer.
And when I caught her waist — hands sliding under the curve of her hips —
Rogue didn't stop me.
She met my kiss halfway — fierce, hungry… all sharp edges softened by the heat between us.
---
Clothes hit the floor like forgotten missions.
Rogue pressed me back onto the couch — straddling, grinding, lips tasting every inch.
way."
"You want me to take the lead?" she teased, grinding down, feeling every thick inch pressed against her through my pants.
I smirked, catching her waist.
"I want you hungry for it."
Her eyes narrowed — then dropped.
I freed myself, watching her gaze hit the full length of my cock — all fifteen inches, thick, veined, the head already slick.
Rogue froze — lips parting, breath catching in something that wasn't shock… but want.
"…Fuck me," she whispered, voice low, rough. "That's… that's a goddamn weapon."
I leaned back, one hand on her hip, daring her.
"Still think you can handle it?"
Her smirk cracked — heat flashing in her eyes.
She slid her panties aside, lined herself up, and lowered onto me with a slow, desperate roll of her hips.
The sharp gasp that tore from her lips wasn't planned.
"Shit… oh, fuck…"
Her nails dug into my chest as she sank inch after inch — stretching, trembling, her head falling forward as she took every last bit.
When she finally bottomed out, her thighs quivered against mine.
"Fucking hell…" she breathed — a rough, hungry laugh escaping her lips. "That's the best I've ever had… and I'm not stopping till I break on it."
I grinned, gripping her ass, thrusting up hard.
"Then ride it like you mean it."
Rogue didn't need telling twice.
She fucked herself down on me — wild, hungry, sharp curses tumbling from her lips as she bounced on my cock like a woman starved.
And when she came, hips grinding, throat raw from moaning my name…
I didn't stop.
Not until her legs gave out.
Not until Rogue — queen of the Afterlife — collapsed against me, fucked-out and breathless.
