Cherry ★

The Whisky was packed tonight, though it was nothing new. People’s laughter and conversations were as loud as ever, and the whole room smelled like cigarette smoke, beer, and spilled Jack Daniel’s. Someone had shoved more than five tables together in the back, which meant half of Los Angeles seemed to be squeezed around them. Roadies, girlfriends, random friends nobody could remember inviting; it was impossible to tell where one group ended and another began.

Slash chuckled as he lit a cigarette ‘’No, man, Hendrix absolutely would’ve hated half the stuff on the radio right now.”

Duff laughed, taking another drink. “You say that like you knew him.”

“Maybe I did.”

“Yeah?” Steven snorted beside you. “You weren’t even old enough to shave.”

Across the table, Izzy shook his head with the smallest smile. Axl was halfway through telling a story that had everyone laughing because he kept acting out different voices.

You’d known the guys long enough that being around them didn’t feel intimidating anymore, and once you captured Steven’s heart, you also captured theirs. They treated you like family; a very loud, dysfunctional family that were the sweetest to you, even if sometimes they liked teasing you and Steven wherever you both got too clingy.

Which tonight was happening.

Steven had already had enough drinks to get affectionate. But he wasn’t sloppy, just happy.

Very happy.

He sat beside you with one arm draped over your chair, occasionally burying his face in your shoulder and neck like he couldn’t quite believe you were there, making you giggle as it tickled you when he inhaled your scent.

‘’You smell good,” he mumbled into your hair for probably the third time all evening.

You laughed softly. “You’ve said that already.”

He smiled ‘’Can’t help it, baby. I love your perfume’’ he bit down softly on your earlobe, making you yelp and giggle.

Slash laughed quietly into his beer. “You guys are worse than an old married couple.”

Steven ignored him completely. His hand rested on your thigh beneath the table, squeezing it whenever he laughed at something. Every so often he’d lean over and kiss your neck or your cheek, tuck your hair behind your ear.. He couldn’t keep his hands off of you tonight.

At some point you turned your head towards him, his gaze already on you as he played with the ends of your hair. You smiled a little, getting closer as you spoke so only he could hear, ‘’What’s gotten into you tonight?’’

He smiled back lazily, shrugging one shoulder. ‘’I cant look at my girl no more?’’ he asked, pouting a little.

You laughed quietly ‘’You’re drunk.’’

He nodded a little ‘’Mhm. And you’re so fucking beautiful tonight.’’ he said as he slowly slid his hand that rested on your thigh with a little smirk.

You tsked, moving his hand back to where it was. ‘’Where in public, Steve.’’

He leaned in to kiss the side of your mouth, moving to kiss your jaw, and your neck. ‘’Then can we go home?’’

You gently cupped his face, smiling at the happy and drunk look on his face. ‘’You sure you wanna go?’’

He nodded, taking your hand that cupped his jaw in his hand, giving it a kiss, before glancing around the table.

“I love these idiots, but I kinda just wanna be with you.”

You chuckled, rolling your eyes playfully .‘’Okay, then. Let’s go.’’

He stood up immediately, slightly too fast, making you laugh.

Duff noticed first. “Leaving already?”

He wrapped his arm around your waist. “Yep.”

Axl smirked. “Somebody’s got priorities, huh?’’

Steven grinned back at him. “Always.”

“Try not to lose him on the way home,” Izzy said dryly.

“No promises,” you teased.

Steven laughed and pressed a quick kiss to your temple.

You were both giggling like two idiots as you walked into your home. He couldn’t keep his hands off of you, barely even letting you take your jacket and heels off as he kept distracting you with his mouth that couldn’t decide between your lips and neck.

"Stop it," you laughed, swatting his chest weakly as your fingers fumbled with your coat buttons. "We just got home,"

"Mhm, and?" Steven hummed against your collarbone, completely unbothered. He helped you with the buttons, tossing it on the floor once he was done, his hands finding your waist and his lips yours, smiling into the kiss.

"Baby," you panted against his lips, hands gripping his shoulders as he lifted you up by your waist. Your legs wrapped around him instinctively, giggling as he spun you around in the entryway. "You're gonna drop me.’’

"Oh, what was that?" Steven asked mockingly, pretending to stumble forward dramatically. You yelped, clinging to him tighter as he caught himself, laughing. He walked towards the bedroom, his lips barely catching a break as they left open mouthed kisses on your neck and shoulder.

"You're so needy tonight," you giggled. He hummed affirmatively, not stopping as he kicked the door to your bedroom open. "That's 'cause I missed my girl." He replied, throwing you onto the bed.

"You always say that," you laughed, trying to sit up and fix your hair. Steven's eyes locked onto yours, a smug grin spreading across his face. "Because its true," he murmured, his hand darting out and grabbing your ankle. You let out a surprised squeal as he pulled you towards him. ‘’Come here.’’

You giggled as he crawled over you, wrapping your legs around his waist. Your arms instinctively wrapped around his shoulders as he bent down to kiss you. The kiss was clumsy, his nose bumping against yours as he tried to find the right angle, both of you laughing against each other’s lips.

The kiss deepened, his tongue sliding against yours as his hands began to roam over your sides and hips. You smiled against his lips, your fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. His thumbs traced lazy circles on your ribs, making you squirm slightly beneath him.

He hummed against your mouth, hands sliding lower to your thighs, squeezing gently as he shifted his weight. His lips left yours to trail down your jaw, then your neck, finding that spot that always made you tilt your head back.

His teeth found your collarbone, sucking the skin just enough to leave a mark. "Mine," he murmured against your skin, moving to the curve of your neck. "All mine."

You bit your lip, chuckling softly as your fingers tightened in his hair. You arched your back as he marked your sensitive skin, a soft moan escaping you. Steven smirked against your neck, his hands gripping your thighs as he pulled them tighter around his waist. "Who's the needy one now, huh?"

You scoffed softly, your cheeks flushing. "Shut up," you muttered, pulling him back down by the front of his shirt. Your lips found his in a messy kiss, teeth clicking together as you deepened it quickly. One of your hands left his hair to pull at the hem of his shirt, trying to get it off him.

Steven broke the kiss to yank his shirt off over his head, diving back into the kiss while now reaching for the buttons of your blouse, undoing it as quickly as he could, making you laugh softly into the kiss.

His lips traveled down from your mouth to your collarbone, then lower, pressing kisses along the swell of your chest. Your breathing hitched as his hand slipped beneath the hem of your skirt, fingers tracing up your thigh. The fabric bunched higher as he pushed it up, making you bite your lip hard, trying to muffle any sound that ought to escape.

He kissed his way back up to your mouth, his thumb gently pulling your lip out from between your teeth. His lips crashed against yours in a hungry kiss as his fingers finally slipped beneath the lace of your panties. He murmured against your mouth, "I wanna hear you,"

You chuckled softly into the kiss, the sound muffled by his lips. "Okay," you breathed out, the word barely audible. As soon as it left your lips, his fingers began to move, parting you gently and touching you exactly how you liked it. A shaky gasp escaped you, your head falling back against the pillow.

The sound of your heavy breathing filled the room, mixed with soft moans that you couldn't hold back as he pushed two fingers inside you, curling them perfectly against your sensitive spot.

Your hands clenched at the sheets, then moved to his hair, pulling him closer even though he wasn't going anywhere. "Fuck," you gasped out, your hips bucking slightly against his hand.

His fingers moved faster inside you, the sound of it filling the room along with your moans. "You like that? Like when I touch you like this?"

His lips brushed against yours as he spoke, soft and teasing. Your mouth opened but only soft whimpers came out, breathy sounds that you couldn't control.

He chuckled softly. ‘’Want me to fuck you? hm?’’

You nodded eagerly, your hips lifting off the bed to meet his fingers. "Mhm," you managed to gasp out between moans. Steven smiled against your mouth, his fingers now moving slower inside you. "Is that what you want, baby?"

You nodded again, more urgently this time. "Yes," you panted out, "Please. Now."

He smiled at your impatience, his voice low and gentle. "Alright, alright."

He slowly pulled his fingers out of you, making you whimper at the loss. He wiped them quickly on the inside of your skirt before reaching for his belt, undoing it and his pants with hurried movements.

In his haste, he grabbed the fabric of your panties and ripped them off, tossing them aside, making you yelp and then laugh. "I'll buy you new ones," he promised, kissing you deeply as he lined himself up.

He kissed you deeply, swallowing your gasp as he slowly pushed inside you. His hands gripped your hips gently as he started to move, breaking the kiss to rest his forehead against yours. "You okay?"

You nodded as you wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him down for another kiss. "yeah," you murmured against his lips, your legs tightening around him. Steven began to move faster, setting a rhythm that had you arching into him with each thrust.

He kissed you deeply, swallowing your moans as he picked up the pace. His hands gripped your hips tightly, fingers digging into your skin as he thrust into you harder, both of your heavy breathing and your soft cries echoing in the room.

"God, you feel so good," he groaned against your neck, biting gently at your skin. Your nails dug into his back as you arched up to meet his thrusts.

He hit that spot inside you perfectly, making your eyes roll back.

"Right there," you gasped out. You squeezed your inner walls around him, a sharp whimper escaping you.

"Yeah? There?" he murmured, adjusting his angle slightly. His pace quickened, thrusts becoming deeper and faster, hitting that spot over and over. Your breathing turned into desperate whimpers, your thighs trembling around his waist. He could feel you getting close, your walls clenching around him.

With one final deep thrust, he burrowed inside you as you both came undone. You cried out, your nails digging into his back, making him wince; his body stiffened as he spilled himself inside you, his forehead falling to rest against your shoulder.
