Deleted Bonus Scene

Romeo

I guided Ivy Jade into the backstage area where more performers were starting to get ready. The park was open until midnight, but I had planned on leaving a few hours early to make it to the reception anyway.

I sat Ivy Jade down on the seat where I had spent so many nights alone, looking in the mirror, wondering if any of this was worth it.

Turns out, everything led me to this exact moment, and I’d live those lonely days a million times over if it meant leading me to her.

I turned the lights to the mirror on and began applying the clown makeup, getting a good look at Ivy Jade’s beautiful face. Her full lips were irresistible and needed to be kissed a few times.

“I never thought Romeo Scott would be applying my makeup,” she teased at one point.

“And I never thought Ivy Jade Castellanos would fuck a clown, but,” I shrugged. “Here we are.”

She laughed and shoved me on the shoulder with her little mouse patter.

“Yeah, but the sweetest, emo-est clown that ever lived!” she countered.

I huffed a small chuckle. “Weren’t calling me sweet when I had my finger in your ass.”

She gasped. “I can’t with you!” Then she laughed softly. “Stop, otherwise I’m gonna make you take me down to that ditch again.”

A wicked grin crept up my lips. “You think that’s a threat, pretty girl?”

Our banter continued, the sexual tension between us growing, and when I was all done with her makeup, I took a step back to take her in fully. She looked beautiful, and she was all mine.

“What do you think?” I gestured with my hand to the mirror.

She turned her face to one side, then the other, observing my work. “It makes me feel like Mrs. High Jynx,” she said with a smile. “I like it.”

She had no idea how much I liked the sound of that.

She sat back and watched as I applied my makeup, seemingly in awe, watching the transformation unfold in real time. She shook her head at herself. “I can’t believe I couldn’t tell.”

I stood up, holding my hand out for her palm-up, just as I had the first night she met High Jynx. Instead, this time, she didn’t hesitate.

“You know,” I started, pulling her close into my arms. “It’s been really difficult to be this close to you and not fuck you…” I leaned down to whisper in her ear. “Hard. Just as you like it.”

“You’re the only one preventing that from happening,” she teased. “Wouldn’t you rather hear my scream than theirs?” She pointed her head towards the door. “I know a really good spot where you can take me however you want me,” she purred, her gaze focusing on my lips.

I raised my eyebrows. “Hmmm,” I said with a low hum, trailing my hands down her back. “Such a naughty girl. My naughty girl.” I gave her one of my mischievous grins as I squeezed her hip. I needed to keep it PG around here, but I had already made up my mind—she was going to get fucked hard in a minute, down in that ditch.

Her breathing sped as she held onto my biceps.

Please,” she whispered.

Fuck, I lived for her begging.

“Fuck it.” I grabbed her hands, keeping a hold of one as I guided her outside yet again. The cool air filled my lungs, and I was basically sprinting as she struggled to keep up.

I stopped suddenly and reached my arm around her, then under her legs, and I scooped her into my arms. She squealed with delight, her laughter mixing in with hundreds of others, as I continued the walk to our spot.

“Hurry,” she said into my ear breathlessly, reaching her hands around my shoulders. “I can't take it. I need you inside me.”

I nearly fell into the ditch just as Ivy Jade did a few days ago, but I was able to keep my balance as gravity pulled me down the hill. I looked around, making sure we were safe from prying eyes, then crashed my mouth into Ivy Jade’s, my tongue desperate to taste her.

She let out a small whimper, and that was enough to turn me into the deranged clown she thought she had first met.

I dropped her onto her feet, then backed her against a tree and hiked up her dress before yanking her panties down. I pressed my leg between her thighs, forcing her open.

“This pussy,” I said, my lips hovering just above hers, as I reached down and brought my finger to her wetness. “Mine.”

My fingers moved hurriedly as I slipped two inside her, fucking her, thumbing her clit.

She let out a soft cry of pleasure. “Yes, Ro—I mean…”

I chuckled, fucking her faster with my fingers. “I’m whoever you want me to be, Princess,” I said, trailing kisses down her neck. “Doesn’t matter what comes out of that pretty mouth of yours; all I want is to hear you scream.”

She gasped, coming on my fingers, her walls tightening around them as her fingers dug into my shoulders.

“Come on, you can do better than that,” I chuckled in her ear, then removed my fingers and brought them to my mouth, savoring her taste. She caught her breath as she watched me.

I grunted as I pulled my zipper down hastily, needing her right fucking now, then freed my aching cock. I lifted her by the thighs with both arms and slammed into her, and she let out her beautiful cries of ecstasy as she pulled herself closer to my chest. She was drenched as her pussy stretched around me—so tight, but she could take it, like she was made just for me.

“Yes! Oh my god!” she moaned loudly, and I smiled into her neck as I plowed into her, needing to hear more, and I didn’t care who heard it.

Though I didn’t see jail time for public indecency on the list of things Ivy Jade and I would do together.

“Fuck, baby,” I groaned in her ear, the pressure building. “Come with me.”

I ravenously pressed my mouth to hers, her lips soft and plump against mine, when I felt her thighs tense around me.

She pulled away for a moment to say, “I’m com—“ but then she let out a loud, frenzied moan of pleasure, and I followed suit, letting out a low, guttural groan of ecstasy.

My hips slowed as I spilled myself inside of her, and I could still feel her walls clenching around my cock.

The sounds of the crowd came back to my awareness, and I squeezed her hips before I let go of her thighs, bringing her feet to the ground.

“God, I love you,” I whispered as we caught our breaths.

I pulled back slightly and realized her makeup had smeared at the lips.

“I love you, too,” she whispered back with a smile.

We covered ourselves back up, and I held my hand out before I claimed one more kiss.

She took my hand, and I led her out into the chaos of my world.

Our world.
