Malefactor [H.S.]

83*

here's a recap of ch69 onward if you need one since it's been a min:

C moves in with H & cleans out her apartment. R & N are there, R's acting weird/bitchy toward C. C+H go on a date for their 1 month. she has a panic attack trying to go on the subway again, N brings her back to his place until H can pick her up since he's at the warehouse. R is mean again, doesn't really talk to C. N goes to open the door for H, R's acting weird & asks C vague questions about her & H. she invites C to her sisters bday party, they agree to go. the next night, Z comes over to help teach C self-defense. C's very horny (bc of H), they go back up to apartment & she goes down on him. they go to R's sisters party, oh no H's old fwb is R's older sister! H goes to the bathroom & comes back out to R & C arguing. C's freaking out & tells R that she & N slept together on halloween (which she didn't know) to hurt her back. H's sus of R so he looks into her

same night, they rob a jewelry store with Z. he drives getaway. C+H get out, N shows up to scream at C. not paying attention, the alarm goes off & the police are automatically called. they escape, get pulled over & realize the cop's stalling. Felix sends in backup, there's a car crash as a coverup & they run to hide from the other cops otw. Colin sends someone to pick them up, everyone's arguing nonstop. C's pissed bc H tried to fight N for suggesting they hide in Wyatt's apartment. H waits in lobby for Lilah to pick Z up. C goes upstairs alone, oh no Colin's there! he has a gun, attacks C as she tries to escape & holds her hostage. H, Z, & L appear, Colin leaves. C's covered in blood & hysterically crying. the 4 go to L's apartment for the night bc C doesn't feel safe there

next morning, H & L talk in vague terms about what happened/allude to something else. H is concerned bc C doesn't seem as mentally scarred as he expected, thinks she's trying to pretend everything's okay. they go home, C kinda breaks down seeing the living room. H reveals that Colin is his & L's half-brother. gives her backstory of what led up to him becoming involved with Colin. C's not really surprised since she says they look alike but is frustrated/kinda breaks down again when H says this is his old apartment. confesses to looking into R but there was nothing, shows C what shows up when he looks her up. nothing important/no video, just stuff about her parents. they drop it & take a nap

C wakes up & tells H she wants to press charges against W. they go to her old home after police station since that's where he is, C sneaks a gun in & beats him with it. police show up & take W, her mom comes home, which freaks her out. they leave, C starts crying tears of joy. next day, C+H go on a double date with Z+L in Central Park. C's in a really good mood from watching W get arrested, gets kinda sad/quiet when they have to go home. H brings her up to the terrace at their building, can see the Brooklyn Bridge. C starts talking about the night they went there, says I love you first. H says it back!

next night, go to art gallery in SoHo to "buy" a painting for Colin's money laundering. both are very horny, C goes down on H before they leave but he doesn't let himself finish. H says she's his wife tonight (they're in disguises) & they buy fake wedding rings. C says she wants to have sex when they go home (first time in a month). go in art gallery, they're teasing the shit outta each other. C recognizes the salesman & panics, H tells her that it's ok bc he's a donor for Luminary. she relaxes, they go back to being all over each other. they "purchase" a painting & go home.

H edges C for a while. he fingers/eats her out on the island counter, go into the living room & fuck on the couch. he finally lets her cum, keeps thrusting as they finish which makes C cum again. go upstairs & shower, back on bed he offers to massage her. C's towel falls, H starts touching her again & rubs her clit until she cums. they fuck again but it's slow sex!!!! intimate missionary, hand holding, H confesses a lot of how much she means to him, they both finish again. laying in bed after, C monologues about how she's always hated the idea of marriage but loving H has made her reconsider. she asks if he'd ever get married, he tells her that before he wouldn't have, but now, he would.
