Jealousy flared deep inside my chest, even as my cock went hard at the mere thought of a threesome, able to envision it all too easily.
Fuck.
I suspected she was only kidding, trying to push my buttons, and yet it had me climbing on top of her, ready to claim her as my own.
Shifting her legs apart with my knees, I buried my cock to the hilt with a single thrust, loving how she gasped, her eyes going wide before slipping shut in a look of ecstasy.
“I’m not”—I pulled out and thrust into her hard, as if punctuating my words—“fucking sharing you. Not now—not ever.”
The bed rocked and banged as I took her, holding her to me so she was pinned in place, as I forced her to take every inch of me. I needed her to feel me, to feel my touch for months to come, like a permanent mark on her soul so that each time she even thought about another man touching her, she’d think of this moment, and she’d know that she was mine and no other’s.
She belonged to me—just like I belonged to her. There was no one else.
She made me so fucking crazy, I could no longer think sane and logically, but instead was left running on pure animalistic need and desire. My mouth crashed down on hers, our tongues clashing as she wrapped her legs around my hips, forcing me in deeper, our pace quickening as she met each thrust of mine with her own. I knew her well enough to know she was on the verge of coming. And though I wasn’t ready to join her just yet, I wanted nothing more than to hear her scream my name as I tore the orgasm from her body.
Knowing the pain would be enough to push her over the edge, I bit her neck, and that was all it took to have her crying out. “Scorch...”
I continued to take her, milking every bit of her orgasm from her body, as she rode out each wave with a little gasp and shudder until she was finally still. I kissed her sweetly, though I wasn’t done with her just yet.
I pulled free of her warm, tight body, and with gentle hands, rolled her onto her front, before pulling her hips up to me, so that her ass was up in the air, giving me easy access to all I wanted. Because if she was thinking she wanted a threesome, then there had to be something more she was craving.
I grabbed the lube from my nightstand drawer, and generously lubed my cock and fingers. Teasing the tight bud of her ass, I slipped just the tip of my finger past the ring of muscle, slowly working more in with each teasing thrust, loving the needy groan I got in response as she forced her body to relax around the intrusion. “Every inch of your body is mine, Avery. No one but me gets to have you. No one else will touch you. Am I making myself clear?”
“You know I’ve always been yours...no one else has ever had a claim on me.”
My heart swelled with relief to hear her words, even though I knew it wasn’t an admission of anything, one way or another. Because sex could be just that. Just sex, with no claim, no feelings. A physical act, and nothing more.
I slipped a second finger in alongside the first, needing to stretch her out, tight as she was. And though she gasped in response, she pushed back against my hand, taking more, loving the intensity, just like she’d always had. My cock ached to have her, and though I was trying damn hard to be patient, I couldn’t hold back much longer. “Tell me this is what you want, love. It’s not too late to back out.”
“I want this, Dane. I want all of you.” Her words were little more than a whisper riding a breath of need.
That’s all I needed to hear. I pulled my fingers free and, grabbing my slick cock, positioned it at her entrance, slowly pressing the head against her ass, carefully tilting my hips forward. I slowly slid in past the tight ring of muscle, working my cock deeper, inch by inch with each thrust, making sure to take my time so that her body would have a chance to adjust until I was fully seated deep inside her.
She was so fucking tight, and I swore, she already had me on the verge of coming. “You feel so fucking good, baby...”
“I need you to fuck me.” Avery’s hands wrapped around the wood of my bedframe where I still had her bound, her knuckles white as her hips started to rock against me in a slow and easy rhythm.
There was little chance of me holding back now. I grabbed her hips, my fingers digging into her soft skin as I started to fuck her, the intensity of it making my head spin. And though I knew I needed to take things slow, it was impossible to do when she kept rocking her hips into me to quicken our pace.
Already on the verge of coming, I lowered my body to hers and slipped my hand around her waist, letting it trail down over the lush curves of her belly to stroke her swollen clit. I nipped at her ear with a groan, my words drifting over her skin as she bucked against my hand. “You’re so fucking wet for me... You just love this, don’t you...”
Our pace was already frantic when she spoke the words I needed to hear as the energy of my orgasm left me teetering on the edge. “I’m going to come, Dane...”
“I’m right there with you, baby.” The moment I heard the cries of her orgasm, I set mine loose with a primal grunt, my cock pulsing deep inside her as I filled her with my cum, our bodies linked as one, as I held her to me, our hearts hammering and our breathing heavy. “I love you, Avery. With all my heart.”
“I love you too, Dane.” And she did. I knew that. Except that it also sounded like there was a “but” hanging in the air between us.
I slowly pulled free of her body, quickly cleaning us up, and then freed her wrists, gently rubbing them where the leather had dug in and marked them.
“Come here, love.” I scooped her up in my arms and laid us back against the pillows, loving the feel of her body pressed against mine, our legs tangled as I held her tightly to me. “You okay?”
“Yeah...I am.” She pressed a kiss to my neck and then looked up at me with a small smile. “It’s sweet of you to worry, though.”
“I’ve fucking missed you, Avery. So fucking much. And I know that things are complicated between us, but I swear, I’ll do right by you. I just need to finish this job, so that Stubbs will leave me and my family alone.” And then, I’d have all the time in the world to show her just how much she meant to me. Because at some point, I’d make her my wife...make her the mother of my children. I wanted to grow old and grey with her. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. “You’re my everything, love... The very beat of my heart.”
“I don’t know what to say, Dane. You’re being so sweet to me. And though you know I love you, I’m still trying to work through all my issues. Things right now...they’re complicated—and Stubbs certainly isn’t helping.” She let out a sigh, as I mulled over exactly what was complicating her life.
My thoughts drifted back to what Slater had said. He’d said something similar, which once again had me wondering if something had happened between them.
Fucking hell.
Well, even if something did happen between them, it didn’t matter. That was in the past.
She was mine now. And I didn’t care if I had to spend a lifetime proving that I’d do right by her.
