She smiled and said, “I was right.”
“About what?”
“You are a fuck machine.”
“Hmm. I guess I’ll take that as a compliment, but that comment may require another spanking.”
“What were you using, anyway?”
“This.” He held up a very narrow leather paddle.
“Now I know why my ass cheeks are on fire.”
“Well, there is that. I should’ve warned you. Sorry.” Then he grinned. “Was it worth it?”
“Hell yeah. And the ice. Mmm.”
“Liked that, huh? I’ll have to remember that.”
“Yeah, please do.”
“Gabriella, how far are you willing to go?”
“I’m not sure what you mean.”
“Don’t think about the question. Just answer it. If you trust me not to hurt you, and I promise I won’t, how far are you willing to go?”
“I don’t want to wear one of those silly rubber suits with an air hose or anything.”
He let out a burst of laughter. “No worries on that. Anything else?”
“No multiple partners.”
His eyes darkened. “I never share. And that goes both ways. It’s just the two of us. And if you decide you want out, let me know before you sleep with someone else, because that impacts our sexual health. Agreed?”
“Absolutely. I don’t sleep around. Obviously, or I would’ve had more partners by now.”
“Anything else? Do you have any aversions? Like anal play?”
“No, not really, though I’ve never done it. But no exhibitionism.”
“Have you ever done it? Exhibitionism?”
“No, but I have a reputation to uphold.”
“And so do I, but it’s done anonymously.”
“I’m going to say no to that.”
“Okay. Exhibitionism is a hard limit for you. Anything else?”
“I don’t want to put those rubber ball thingies in my mouth.”
Kolson chuckled. “Oh, sweetheart, you don’t have to worry there. I like to hear the your sexy sounds and your voice too much.”
Gabby swallowed. His voice made her tingle down there. How was that possible after all the orgasms he’d just given her?
“This stuff is so alien to me, I’m not sure I can think of anything else.”
He nodded. “If you do, just speak up or if I present something that doesn’t appeal to you, tell me.”
“I will.”
“Toys are okay?” he asked with a grin.
“Like vibrators?”
“Yes, and other things. Floggers, silk ties, I’d like to see you with some leather on, and maybe some anal toys. A spreader bar. But please keep in mind I would never hurt you.”
“I realize that.”
“Good.” He took the tip of his index finger and traced the outline of both her nipples. “Maybe some nipple clamps. But right now I think we need to get you in the bath. It’ll soothe your lovely cheeks.”
Gabby nodded, but when she tried to follow Kolson, her legs were wobbly and she could barely walk.
“Jeez, you did paddle my ass and fuck me until I can’t walk.”
“I never break a promise. Me and my wicked ways.” He lifted her up and carried her.
“Guess I’m a wimp.”
“Not in the slightest. You took a rather serious fucking and never begged for mercy.”
“You’re rather proud of your skills, aren’t you?”
He flashed her a triumphant grin. “What do you expect? My skills are mad.”
She only shook her head in return. “A bit cocky, aren’t you?”
He glanced down at said appendage, and then up at her and shrugged. She couldn’t help but shake her head.
He turned on the water and added Epsom salts to the bath. When the water was high enough, they got in and he pulled Gabby down on his lap.
“I don’t want you to be too sore tomorrow. I have some cream to rub on your skin when we’re through, but I think you’ll be okay.”
“I’m sure I’ll be fine.”
“Let me be the judge of that.”
“Hey, I am a doctor, you know.”
“Yeah, but I’m the expert with this stuff.”
She scrunched her face at him. “Do you ever have regular sex?”
“What do you mean? That was regular sex.”
“That was not. Paddling and spanking. That was anything but regular.”
“I never use brands or labels for what I do. To me, what we just did was have fantastic sex. Call it what you want, but it was something that satisfied my needs. And from the looks and sounds emanating from you, it satisfied yours quite well too. Do you know how many orgasms you had?”
“Uh, no.”
“Well, I do. Three, not including the one you had on my tongue. So I think you liked what I did a whole lot. Call it what you will, but watching you come was my goal and I think I met it.”
She blushed. “Fair enough. But why the spanking?”
“Why not? Didn’t you like it? It made you climax at least once. Probably more, indirectly. And please don’t be embarrassed. We need open lines here.”
“Yeah, I loved it. And you know I did.”
“So, why ask?”
He put his arms around her and pulled her on to his lap.
“Um, is that what I think it is?” she asked as he positioned her against his hardened cock.
“Hmm.”
She turned in his lap and faced him. “How is that possible?”
“I’m studly.”
She couldn’t stop herself from saying, “Oh, please.”
“Hey, you’re the one who had all the orgasms, not me.”
“Good point. Tell me about your piercing.”
“You tell me about my piercing.”
She regarded him candidly. “I love it. It’s every woman’s dream.”
“Enough said,” he winked.
His lips were inches from hers. She kissed him. “Was that okay?”
“Why wouldn’t it be?” Her question surprised him.
“Because you were so dominant a few minutes ago.”
“So, in bed is one thing. Everywhere else is another. And I don’t always have to be the dominant one. I can be the sweet bland guy if you’d like. Gabriella, you can kiss me any time you want. Your lips are a prize to me. The very best prize. Don’t ever hold back.”
“Thank you.”
His brows shot straight to his hairline. “For saying it’s okay to kiss me?”
She punched his shoulder. “No, silly. For letting me stay here. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.”
“Maybe I had an ulterior motive.”
“I certainly hope so.” Gabby winked.
“Lift up a second.”
She did and that gave Kolson just enough room for him to slide into her. “Is this okay?”
Gabby sighed. “I think my ass isn’t the only thing that’s going to be sore tomorrow.”
“No worries. I’ll kiss your gorgeous pussy and make it all better.”
Her breath caught in her throat as he moved slowly inside her.
“I want to suck your nipple ring.”
“What’s stopping you, kea?” His hand moved between them and he cupped her sex.
He inched in and out of her and she gasped, “Oh my, that’s good.”
Gabby melted into Kolson’s half-hooded stare. “Just pretend it’s your nipple ring and do to me what you think would feel good to you,” he said.
She swallowed. Looking at the damn thing nearly made her come. “I’m not sure if this is more exciting for you or for me.” She put her lips around it and softly sucked it. She lightly swirled it across the top, touching it gently with her tongue. Kolson twisted his hips into her and they both moaned, so she added more suction and pressure to the piercing.
“Oh, fuck, Gabriella. Stop.”
She looked up at him and his hands went to her hips as he began to thrust rapid
ly into her. Not taking her eyes off his for one second, they watched each other as their arousal heightened, and Gabby rode Kolson hard. Water sloshed everywhere, but neither of them cared.
When he stopped, she started to protest, but he cut her off with, “Stand up.” He pushed her to give her a boost. He was right behind her when he told her to bend over the side of the tub. Then he drove back into her and she didn’t think she could hold on.
“I’m going to fall.”
He put his arm around her waist and told her, “I won’t let you.”
He touched places so deep inside, Gabby moaned.
“Oh my … Kolson. I’m …”
He looked at the sight she made, with her back arched and stretched over the edge of the large jetted bath. Kolson knew that image would stay imprinted in his head for a long time. The creamy globes of her ass shimmered, and her pink pussy begged for more of him. Her dark mane hung halfway into the water, soaked and tangled, and all Kolson wanted to do was ingest everything about this moment.
He placed his finger on her slit and ran it around her little nub, and then rubbed it as a long, slow groan escaped her.
“Oh, Gabriella. I wish you could see how beautiful you look now. Your skin is wet, glowing, and flushed.”
“Ah, Kolson.”
He slid into her again and again. “Tell me what you want.”
“You. I want you.”
“To do what?”
“To keep fucking me.”
“Why?”
“Ah … I … ah … want you to make me come.”
“Fuck, kea, I will. I’m going to make you come. Hard.”
His fingers sunk into her hips and he rocked into her and she felt herself tightening inside.
“Yes, Gabriella. Let it go.” He moved his hand back to her sex and then she cried out his name as her climax sent her reeling.
His followed hers and afterward, he said, “You are so fucking sweet.”
Gabby’s head spun in the aftermath and she knew she couldn’t stand on her own accord.
“Kolson, I’m going to collapse.”
“No, I won’t let you.” He pulled out with a sigh, set her down on top of his lap, and kissed her. “Do you have any idea how captivating you are?”
His arms cradled her and she felt as secure as she ever had. She traced his lips with her finger and smiled. “No, but you can tell me.”
“I’d have to show you. And someday I’m going to photograph you. I want to look at you every day, just like this.”
“No, no nude pictures.”
“Why? You’re so beautiful.”
“They could get out.”
“I would never let that happen. You’re too perfect not to look at, kea.” He leaned down and kissed her nose. “Maybe we should get out of here before we’re permanently pruned.”
Gabby nodded, but she couldn’t have cared less. This was the first time in her life she could ever remember being truly cared for and she felt like she was in dreamland.
Chapter 17
Kolson wasn’t one to feel much emotion for others. But somehow, Gabby had managed to penetrate his barriers. Yes, he wanted her sexually, now more than ever since he’d gotten his first exquisite taste of her. But it was more than that. The sadistic fuck who was trying to get to her had better watch his back. Kolson wasn’t going to let him get near her, if he could help it.
They sat at the counter finishing Lydia’s delicious spinach lasagna. “Tell me,” he said.
She swallowed her bite and asked, smiling, “Tell you what?”
“What did Danny do to you?”
The fork slid out of her hand and clattered to the floor. She bent to retrieve it when his voice halted her.
“Leave it,” he said as he wrapped his hand around her wrist. “I think you know by now that you can trust me. Gabriella, I know what he did to you was awful. But know this. I’ll believe everything you’ll tell me.” He slid his hold from her wrist to her hand and squeezed it. She felt his warmth flow into her and inhaled past the knot in her chest.
“I’ve never told anyone.” Her voice trembled. “Other than my parents and brother,” She clamped her quivering lips between her teeth. She hated thinking about this, much less talking about it. “My psychiatrist too, of course.”
“You can tell me. I won’t judge you; I’ll only support you. That’s my promise.”
Her brow furrowed, she drilled him with her gaze. Raw honesty stared back at her. His hand still held hers as he nodded in encouragement.
“He started raping me when I was thirteen. It continued until I went to medical school. Of course, after I left home for college, it was less frequent. He obviously was much stronger, bigger than I. The first time took place when he was babysitting me. He said he would really hurt me if I told. I was so …” She bent her head in shame. “Afterward, I was bleeding and he forced me into the bathtub and scrubbed me down there. He made me watch him do it.” She shuddered.
Kolson had to force himself to remain calm. Danny was a perverted fuck who’d not only molested a young girl, but also performed lewd acts on her afterward.
“When my mom and dad got home, I wouldn’t come out of my room the rest of the night. Danny told them I had been rude to him so he sent me there. They believed him. Then two weeks later, he was back, babysitting again. And guess what he did? But this time he was smart and tied me up so I couldn’t scratch him. Or leave any marks. He told me if I said anything, he’d hurt me worse the next time. So I didn’t tell. It continued for two years before I said anything. He threatened to kill my mom. The only thing she ever cared about was getting her next drink—she’s an alcoholic. My dad only cares about appearances—what people think about him and the family. He’s covered up my mom’s problem for years. So when I finally got the nerve to tell my dad, he told me I was liar and a troublemaker. Danny and my brother were always close so my brother thought I lied too. And Danny won. My dad basically gave him license to continue. And he did. Repeatedly. He did all kinds of awful things to me.
“He ruined my life and I still have no idea why. Why he singled me out. What I ever did to him to make him hate me so much. He’s three years older than I am and he told everyone I was a whore. Word spread at my school, because everyone knew him. All my friends abandoned me. I became withdrawn and depressed. That’s when I did this.” She held up her arm.
“What did your doctor say?”
She let out a muffled laugh. “I told my doctor the truth. But I also told her that if she made a big deal out of it, I would deny it all. But that’s how I ended up in med school so I could learn how to help people who were abused like I was. I know how terrifying it is to go through life feeling frightened all the time. Feeling afraid of your own fucking shadow. But the worst part was when my family sided with him. When they didn’t believe me. The scars they left on me were way beyond this.” She held out her wrist. “So that’s why I don’t trust anyone or share this terrible secret, because if my own parents and brother didn’t believe me, why would anyone else?”
“I do. I believe you, Gabriella. I don’t know why they didn’t, but I do. So help me God, I swear I do.” Then he lifted her arm, turned it over, and kissed her scars. “If you ever feel unsure of yourself, you come to me. How did you do it? I mean, study to get into med school if you were so depressed?”
The smile that spread across Gabby’s face took Kolson by surprise. “It was my salvation. I made it my life’s goal. I was determined to do it so I could help others who were in my shoes. So I put everything I had into it and it took my mind off of what I was going through. My psychiatrist was the one who suggested I do it. Of course I was on antidepressants, too. But I dove head first into my studies and it paid off. I was always a book nerd though.”
Kolson looked at her in awe. “You are such an inspiration. You need to be a motivational speaker.”
“Nah. I just think you can do anything if you put your brain to it. But you have to remember it’s my passion.
And it became the family I didn’t have.”
Gabby’s expression turned somber.
“What is it?”
“He scares me, Kolson. I don’t know what he wants from me.”
“I do.”
“Then tell me, because I want to know. I want him to stop.”
“You. He won’t stop until he has you.”
“But …”
“He wants to possess you, Gabriella. In his own sick way, that’s what he wants. Think about this. You’re the expert here.”
“So you really think he’s a true stalker?”
“I believe he is.”
“Then I need to call the police.”
“But there’s a problem with that. Because you never reported a crime when it all started happening and your parents never did their due diligence, the police are pretty helpless here. We can call them and let them know, but they really can’t do much at this point. It’s your word against his.”
Her shoulders sagged as she listened to him. The truth speared her but she knew he was right. Kolson stood and went to pour her a glass of whiskey.
“Here. Drink this.”
“I don’t drink brown liquor.”
“Well, since I’m fresh out of Sugar Tits, this is the best I can do.”
His line brought a slight smile to her lips so she took the glass and sipped.
“Down it.”
Holding the glass, she tossed back the contents and nearly choked on its burn.
He patted her on the back to ease her cough, and she sputtered, “That stuff is wicked!”
“First timer, huh?”
“Uh, yeah, and a last timer, I believe.”
“I don’t think so.” He refilled her glass and handed it back to her. “Now, this is the one you’ll sip.”
Her gut burned from the first glass and she rubbed a circle on her stomach as she reached for the glass. “What is this?”
“Evan Williams 23. It’ll take away your angst. Guaranteed. The first one was just a run-of-the-mill bourbon. But this one is in a class all its own.”
This time, the sip eased down her throat and created a soothing warmth laced with hints of dark chocolate and plums. She swirled it around her mouth and as it coated her tongue, she found herself wanting to moan.
“My God, this is lovely!”
