M y eyes raked over her beautiful soft body .

Still hiding behind her mask, I reached behind her back and unclasped her bra. Her twins perked when free and I got lost in the emotions swirling around my head .

My cock twitched, swelling harder as I lightly stroked her pebbled nipple .

I didn’t want to think about how wrong I was about Nash. How I trusted Sylvia with information when I shouldn’t have. Mario deserved justice and I hated that he was taking the fall for something I knew in my heart he didn’t do .

Squeezing my eyes shut, I knew I had failed .

Raising my hand to Kendra’s throat, I felt her pulse ticking hard in her neck. The only thing I had going for me was Madam’s images of Timothy Parker having sex with a prostitute. I was losing at everything else I had been working so hard to solve. I needed to find my redemption .

Kendra sucked in a breath and her belly fluttered against my touch. Her skin was on fire .

Widening my stance, I forced her to look me in the eye. There was a tornado of mixed emotions staring back at me. “I need you,” I breathed into her ear .

Her eyelids hooded as she gasped against my touch .

Squeezing her tit, her legs wobbled .

Wishing I could go back and change what happened, I was riddled with guilt. Getting lost in the beauty of Kendra’s body was my only way out. The only way to stop myself from sinking into a deep depression—something I had struggled with before. Feeling like I was trapped, the next words out of Kendra’s mouth hit me like a semi-truck .

“You’ve been obsessed, Kelly .”

Fisting her hair, my lips brushed against hers. “Give yourself over to me .”

Her chest rose, then fell. “You don’t even know what you almost did .”

There was a thickness in my throat that wouldn’t go away. “I was wrong .”

Kendra bared her teeth. “And my best friend nearly lost the love of her life because of you .”

“I was wrong,” I admitted again, my brows pulling together. “Doesn’t that mean anything to you ?”

Her silence spoke volumes to how she was feeling. Releasing her hair, I circled around her then pushed her shoulders down before peppering open-mouthed kisses across her neck. Her skin prickled as I listened to her breathe .

Smoothing my warm hands over her waist, I reached up her front and cupped each of her breasts inside the palms of my hands. Her sharp nipples sliced through my fingers. Pulling her back against my chest I held her, counting off the beats of her aching heart .

With my balls painfully tight, I released one hand, stepped back and traced my finger down her spine. Her breath hitched when I came to the crease of her strappy opened back panties .

She looked incredible in them. Had my cock twitching, begging to be freed .

“You need to apologize to Alex,” she finally mewed. “Not me .”

My hand flew to her mouth. Pinching her cheeks, I angled her head and let my mouth crash over hers. Her hot plump lips worked against mine. She sucked my tongue deeper into her mouth before darting hers into my mouth .

She was sweet, defiant, and I couldn’t get enough of her .

Stepping around, I filled my hands with her fleshy ass and picked her up. She tilted her head and deepened our kiss. Tonguing her, I pressed my arousal against her wetness. She writhed on me until she became breathless .

The moment the balls of her feet hit the floor, I pushed her away and moved to the wall. Opening a wooden cabinet, I grabbed the first toy I saw .

Kendra tucked her wavy hair behind her ear, keeping her eyes down to the floor .

Stroking the leather paddle handle with my thumb, I tightened my grip and stared at her ass .

“What are you doing, Kelly?” Her voice was soft with a hint of hesitation .

Stepping behind her, I squeezed her ass and gently slapped it with my hand. It shook, mildly reddening. And it was enough to get her to turn around .

Her eyes immediately went to the paddle. “I’m not in the mood .”

I lifted it and offered her to take it. “Punish me .”

“Kelly—” She lowered her head and let out a heavy sigh .

Taking her hand, I forced her fingers to wrap around the handle. “I saw the look on your face during the show.” My cock swelled at the memory .

She lifted the paddle up to her face and I watched her eyes drift over the edges, measuring the weight, studying the angle .

I couldn’t wait. Didn’t have the patience for her to get into the mood. I needed her now .

Hooking her shoulder, I pulled her close to my chest and slid my hand under the front of her panties. Her chest labored through desperate little pants as I cupped her heated mound. And when my fingers sliced between her folds, she gasped .

Her words couldn’t hide what she was feeling .

She was soaked .

Hot.

And completely turned on .

Working my finger deeper inside her, I stroked her velvety walls until she began to whimper .

Her lips parted and her eyes rolled to the back of my head .

“I’m sorry, Bella. ” My thumb pressed firmly against her clit. Her head tipped back and she closed her eyes. “I lost sight of you. Of us.” I curled my finger inside her and put pressure on her front walls. “It’s my fault your relationship with Alex is strained. I was wrong about Nash, and I want to make it right .”

Increasing my thrusts, Kendra’s hips bucked as she began to unzip me .

I felt her walls tighten around my knuckle. Before she exploded on my hand, she pushed me back onto the bed. The mattress absorbed my weight and when I looked up, Kendra was stepping out of her sexy panties .

Her tits perked, clenching my abs .

Lifting each one of my legs, she worked my pants down my waist, pulling them free. Tossing them to the side, she went for my boxer shorts next—a gleam of desire in her eye when my dick sprang free. She climbed on top of me and guided my phallus deep into her body .

And just when I thought I had lost at everything this week, my mind slowly drifted away as Kendra fucked me torturously slow, reminding me that nothing else mattered .
