Ruby has never looked more stunning than she does right now, with her skin flushed pink from multiple orgasms and her eyes big and blue and shining. She puts her arms around my neck and lets me lift her onto the bed.

“Levi?”

“Yeah?”

She locks her gaze on mine and takes in a big breath. “If you don’t fuck me right now, I think I might lose my mind.”

I lean down and swirl my tongue over one of her nipples. They’re both hard pebbles, and so sensitive she gasps. “Mine is already gone.”

Ruby puts her hands on my face, tugging upward so that our faces are level, and kisses me. Her lips are soft and tentative, but only for a moment. The kiss takes a dive into sensual territory, Ruby rocking her hips in a slow rhythm against mine, but neither of us can keep the heat at a low level. We’re past that. She thrusts her tongue into my mouth as I take her other nipple between my fingers and roll it in my grip, hard enough to make her moan.

She pulls back, just a few inches, her eyes filled with bottomless desire. “I need you.”

Her voice is so low she’s almost whispering. It doesn’t matter. They unlock the last barrier holding me back from fucking her, from making her come until she’s screaming my name. 

Ruby is already spreading her legs underneath me, her entire body an invitation, and my cock pulses between us, so hard it aches. If she needs me, then I need her a thousand times more. I crush my lips against hers, claiming her mouth as I line myself up with her slick opening.

Her eyes go wide as I make contact. “God, you’re—” Then she bites her lip, reaching down between us. Her petite hand barely closes around my shaft.

Her grin is all wickedness.

She tips her head back and I lean down, licking at her skin. Ruby’s firm grip on me is almost enough to make me come right now, so I focus every bit of my attention on the pulse at the side of her neck.

She knows what she wants.

I’m supposed to be in control, supposed to be the one dominating this encounter—it’s what I’ve been promising her all along, one command at a time—but somehow Ruby has taken over. My uncomplicated dominance is nothing in the face of the raw, electric sweetness she’s radiating right now. Sweet, dirty…mine.

She swirls the head of my cock in her juices, pressing me harder and harder against her opening and then backing away.

“Fuck.” I growl the word against her collarbone.

Ruby laughs, her nipples pressing against my chest. “It’s only fair. You made me wait…”

“I made you come. I think you might need a reminder of how—” Fuck, her hot wetness feels so damn good. “—a reminder of how amazing that felt.”

She guides me into her, half an inch, and it’s all I can do not to lose it right then. Ruby is tight and ready. Her lips fall open and she spreads her legs just another inch to accommodate my hips, then slowly takes her hand away.

I look into that blue, endless gaze. “There’s no going back. Not after this.”

Her next words come through gritted teeth. “Take. Me.”

I do.

One powerful thrust, and I’m inside her to the hilt, Ruby’s back arched, her hips rising from the bed to meet me. Her muscles tense around me, building on her tightness, taking me in. Her body wants more of me, and I give it to her. I thrust in again and she cries out, fingernails making tiny crescents on my shoulders.

I reach one hand up and circle her jaw. “Look at me.” She might have taken control for a few moments, but I have it back. At the sound of my voice, her pussy clenches hard around me and her eyes fly open, looking straight into mine. I can’t help the wild grin that flies across my face. So that’s what she likes. I was pretty certain before. Now I know. “I’m going to fuck you until you come even harder.” I keep my voice even, fucking her in a hard, steady rhythm that makes her breasts bounce up and down with every stroke. “And you’re going to look at me the whole time.”

It doesn’t take long.

Ruby struggles to obey me, and even as she does, she gets wetter and wetter, her pussy reluctant to let me go. Tiny gasps escape from between her lips, and her hands rise to my wrist—not to pull my hand away, but to make sure I don’t move it. She loves this. Holy fuck, she loves this.

“Tell me—” She can hardly get the words out, and something desperate comes into her eyes. She’s right there—she’s right there. I can feel it. And this—this is Ruby begging me to push her over the edge, send her flying into the kind of pleasure we both need to survive. “Tell me. Please, Levi. Tell me.” 

There’s a single moment where I don’t know what to say, but she’s so urgent that the meaning finds its way into my mind just in time. I know what she wants to hear. I know it like I know the sun will rise in the morning.

I thrust into her—another little cry, another little gasp—and tighten my grip on her jaw, just a little, just enough, never looking away from her. “You belong to me. I’ve claimed you. I’ve taken you. You are mine, Ruby, and I’m never going to give you up.”

Her legs tremble with every word, and I come down hard on the last phrase.

That’s what does her in.

Her mouth opens and she sucks in a big breath. Her eyelids start to flutter shut. She remembers at the last second, as her pussy throbs around my cock, her hips jerk away from the bed, and I drive myself in deep, rolling my own hips so that she feels all of me pressed against all of her.

Ruby’s voice is low and rough and wild as she comes, staring into my eyes, color rushing to her cheeks. Even in this moment, she must be just aware enough to feel how intimate this is, to look at me like this in her most vulnerable moment, crying out, a rush of begging.

The grip of her pussy around my cock is what forces me over the cliff into my own release. It’s not until Ruby breathes no that I realize I’ve started to close my own eyes. “Please…”

I look into hers, still holding her in place as all the pent-up frustration of the last weeks pours out of me, every muscle working to deliver a final round of thrusts so powerful that they press the air out of Ruby’s lungs. When it’s over, when I’m finally spent, Ruby is breathing hard.

I turn us over, pulling her close against my chest, and rest against the comforter. A quiet pleasure runs over every inch of me, warm and expansive. There’s nothing on earth better than this. The thought comes lazily into my mind and floats back out.

Ruby laughs, a quiet, low laugh, full of satisfaction. 

“What are you laughing about?” My voice is a low murmur.

“That was so—” She pauses, taking in a breath and letting it out, a happy sigh. “That was so damn good.”

“It was.”

“But you know what?” She props herself up on one elbow and looks down at me, tracing the line of my jaw with her fingertip.

“What?”

“We’re just getting started.”
