“Spread your legs,” he orders, ignoring my hesitation.
I do as he asks with shaky legs, thankful for my panties, which cover me so that he doesn’t see everything.
My breath hitches when I feel his hands encircle my ankles, he pulls my legs straight up, my knees locking, before he tugs me closer to the edge of the bed.
“Grab onto my thighs,” he commands. Without thinking, I follow his orders.
My fingers grip the backs of his muscular thighs, which, because of the distance, causes my back to arch and my chest to push up.
“Don’t let go. If you do, you won’t be permitted to come,” he grumbles. My already trembling body begins to shake even more.
I close my eyes tightly before I hear, then feel my panties rip. Then without warning, his fingers are inside of me. I gasp and open my eyes wide to find him smirking down at me.
One side of his mouth lifts along with one brow, daring me to say something, anything. I don’t. I keep my eyes locked on his and my mouth shut.
“You’re so wet already,” he announces.
He’s right.
I am.
I have been since I saw him in that nasty as hell clubhouse. His fingers slide inside me again and curl, causing me to moan.
I couldn’t hold it in even if I wanted to. It’s been so long since I have been touched by a man I wanted.
“Bates,” I whisper.
It seems his name is the only thing able to escape my mouth, other than a moan or two.
“I’ll make it good, tigritsa. I’ll always make you feel good,” he murmurs as his thumb presses against my throbbing clit. “Don’t take your hands or your eyes off of me. You need to watch as I take ownership of you.”
I whimper as his fingers leave me and his cock replaces them. One quick thrust and he is completely seated inside of me, to the hilt.
I gasp at the intrusion.
He’s huge.
My fingernails dig into his thighs and he moans, dropping his head back, exposing his sexy as shit neck.
“Who owns you, Brentlee?” he asks as he slowly pulls out of me, centimeter by centimeter.
I sigh, trying to keep my eyes from rolling in the back of my head, or my hands from leaving his thighs and fisting in the sheets beside me.
“You do, Bates. You always have,” I shamelessly admit.
“Fucking right, I have,” he grunts before he slams back inside of me.
I cry out in surprise, but he doesn’t stop. He repeats his move, but with speed and power, no longer slow. No, now he is taking possession of me. I am unable to mov. He has me completely surrendered to him.
Both of my hands are now, wrapped around the outside of my thighs, holding them up, and out. His cock is so smooth and hard, as he pistons in and out of me.
My eyes stay focused on his dark ones, owning every single piece of me—mind, body, and soul.
My pussy flutters with warning. I’m going to come. For the first time since before my marriage, I am going to come, and I’m scared. I want to so badly. I want him to give me something I haven’t had in years.
“Don’t come yet,” he warns as sweat drips down his chest.
Fuck, I want to lick it off of him, and just imagining that doesn’t help me keep myself under control.
He releases my legs and leans over me, one of his fists landing beside my head as the other hand wraps around my throat.
I hitch my legs around his back, my eyes never leaving his and my hands firmly gripping his strong thighs.
“Bates, I need to come,” I plead.
He shakes his head once, droplets of sweat flinging in all different directions from his forehead.
“Who’s cock do you take only?” he asks as he continues to fuck me. His hip move, hard and fast. It hurts, but it feels delicious at the same time.
I don’t want to answer, but I want to come. I’m his. I have always been so; but what he wants, what he’s suggesting isn’t something I think I can deal with.
It’s sex—pure, raw sex.
How can I simply fuck the man I have been in love with for over a decade and not fall deeper into him?
I’m no good for him. I’m fucked from Scotty, damaged and unfixable. Scotty will always be in my mind, waiting to burst through at any moment and drive me further into the ground.
Bates wants to own me.
I’m not free from my last owner. I don’t have much of myself left to give, and if he takes from me, and it doesn’t work out, there will be absolutely nothing left.
“No,” I weakly say.
I feel his hand tighten around my throat, his thrusts never slowing, never stopping, and his eyes boring into mine.
He’s trying to convince me with his stare and his cock. I groan when he pushes completely inside of me and stops, grinding against my clit.
It’s too much.
My airway is constricted, not entirely blocked, but I can’t take a deep breath. Tears begin to fall from my eyes in panic. I lift my hands and claw at his arm to get him to release his hold on me.
“I won’t hurt you baby, never,” he coos, his voice softer than a few moments ago.
My hands go back to his thighs, as his strokes continue but they’re slower, softer, sweeter—I need to come.
It’s not a want anymore, it’s a need, but my eyes are locked with Bates’ and there’s no way I can let go. He has me suspended and pinned in limbo.
“My dick only, Brentlee. No stupid shit, no other fucking men. I’ll kill them. I’ve killed before and I’ll do it again. No fucking hesitation. This pussy is for me only. Should have always been mine, but I fucked up,” he murmurs before his lips touch mine and his hand loosens around my throat.
“Why do you still want me?” I ask against his lips.
He doesn’t kiss me, his eyes don’t close, and his thrusts become slower, softer, sweeter.
“I haven’t been whole since I walked away from you. I haven’t slept peacefully since then, and I haven’t lived. I’ve been surviving, just like you have, but in my own way. Besides, every piece of you was always meant to be mine, Brentlee.
“Denying it only makes us miserable. You don’t have to be my Old Lady, but your cunt is only for me,” he whispers. “Come on my cock, tigritsa,” he grinds out before his tongue slides deep into my mouth and he shows me just how he does, in fact, own me.
I scream into his mouth as my pussy clenches and I come around him. Bates grunts as his cock grows and then twitches inside of me.
He comes with a groan that I swallow.
His hand tightens around my throat before he releases it completely and moves his fingers into the back of my hair. He nuzzles my neck with his bearded face and lips.
I start to move my hands from his thighs, but then I feel him nip my neck with his teeth.
“Don’t fuckin’ move a goddamn muscle,” he mutters into my skin.
I freeze where I am, my legs wrapped around his lower back, my fingers still digging into his strong thighs.
His heavy body resting on top of mine, the weight probably more than I should be able to bear—but with him, I welcome it.
“Tell me it’s mine, Brentlee,” he murmurs before he licks my skin then gently sucks it into his mouth.
“I can’t, Bates, I just... can’t.” I sob, my body shaking beneath him.
“I’ll get you there, Brentlee. Swear to fuck, babe, I’ll get you there. I’ll get you where you were always meant to be and get you living again,” he says as he begins to slowly fuck me, again.
My pussy is already sore, but when he tilts his hips and his cock hits me in just the most perfect way, I relax my body to accept more.
I won’t be able to walk tomorrow, but I don’t care. All I care about is Bates inside of me, owning me. He does. I don’t want to admit it out loud, but he owns every piece of me.
“Okay, only your big dick,” I grumble.
He laughs, his breath hot on my neck, and he continues his slow thrusts.
&nbs
p; “Thanks, tigritsa. Now, take it again before we pass out,” he grunts.
Bates’ fingers tighten in my hair as his lips suck and bite my neck; but his cock, Jesus, his big, beautiful cock possesses me with every plunge.
When I come, again, it is on a slow burn, a build that overwhelms me.
I don’t scream, or cry, I simply tremble beneath him as my pussy squeezes around him. Bates comes again, inside of me, and I feel a closeness to a man, a closeness I didn’t realize that had been missing for over ten years.
I want to continue to try and push him away, but Bates won’t let me. He sees me, and no matter how much I try to deny it, he’s what I’ve been craving all these years.
This is what was always meant to be. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, or the next day. I don’t know if I will continue to accept him as my lover, but for now, this feels right.
SNIPER
Once I’ve come for the second time, I allow Brentlee to release my legs. Fuck, having her all wrapped up in me, completely at my mercy, was fucking gorgeous.
I tell her to stay where she is and go into the bathroom. I grab a wash cloth and run it under water before I take it back to the bed to clean her up.
“I can clean myself, Bates,” she murmurs as her face tints pink with embarrassment.
“Quiet,” I grunt as I spread her legs and look at her swollen pink pussy. I groan at the sight of my cum leaking out of her.
It’s one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen.
I ignore her protests and clean her, throwing the wash cloth toward the bathroom door once I’m finished. Then, I pick her up and gently lie her down on her side of the bed before I reach around and unclasp her bra.
I’m disappointed in myself for not taking it off sooner so I could watch her pretty tits bounce with each thrust of my hips.
Once I have pulled her bra off, I drop it on the ground and then cover her up with the sheet and comforter.
Walking toward the door I unlatch the lock and open it, so that when Stella wakes up she isn’t frightened and can get to Brentlee easily.
I go back to my side of the bed and slip beneath the sheets myself before I turn to my side and gather her in my arms.
Fuck, she feels good there too.
Soft and warm, and her smell—fuck. She smells like her lotions, and me, and sex. The combination makes my cock stir.
“What are you doing?” she asks drowsily.
“Going to sleep,” I murmur before I kiss her bare shoulder.
“You’re naked and in bed with me,” she points out.
“Yeah.”
“When Stella wakes up, you’re going to confuse her,” she says.
It irritates me. What did she think was going to happen when I claimed that pussy?
“You’re livin’ in a fuckin’ dream world you think I’m going to sleep on the couch after I got back in that sweet cunt of yours,” I point out. She lets out a heavy sigh.
“But Stella,” she says in an urging tone.
“You think Stella don’t know you’re done with her daddy? You think Stella don’t realize what’s happening here? She’s three, but she ain’t fuckin’ stupid, Brent,” I tell her. She stiffens in my arms.
I tighten my grip around her, because if she gets out of my grasp, she might try and act crazy.
Not tonight.
I’m fucking beat.
I just had the best sex I’ve had in over ten years and I’m sobering up. I need sleep.
“She’ll see me jumping from one man to another,” she announces like she knows what the fuck she’s talking about.
“She’ll see you leaving an abusive piece of shit you don’t love and going to a man who will treat you right, is what she’ll see. She’ll see you taking care of yourself, of her, and getting stronger. She’ll see all that shit because all of that is the fucking truth. You won’t be hopping from man to man, Brentlee, because there is no other man after me.”
“What if we don’t work out,” she whispers.
I roll her flat on her back and crawl on top of her, my arms caging in her head.
“Do I need to fuck you again to show you just how right we are? Do I need to explain what it means when I tell you that only my cock sinks inside that tight cunt of yours?” I ask as I stare into those gorgeous honey colored eyes of hers.
“Okay, Bates,” she says.
Her husky voice washes over me as her hand comes up and cradles the side of my neck.
“Not losin’ you again, Brentlee, not after all this time. I got you where I want you and we’re gonna work this out. Eventually, you’ll be my Old Lady. You’ll have my name inked on this gorgeous body of yours, and my babies will grow inside of you. Might take years to get there, but babe, hear this—that’s where we’ll be,” I announce.
Her mouth falls open in surprise. I kiss her so she can’t say anymore stupid as fuck shit.
“Now go to sleep before I fuck that hot pussy again,” I grunt, which makes her roll her eyes.
Our serious conversation is on hold, not over, for the time being. She rolls out from underneath me and backs that sweet ass into my dick as she settles in.
I wrap her up in my arms again and nestle my face into her hair, inhaling that scent of hers, before I close my eyes and pray that a dreamless sleep overtakes me.
Tomorrow is a new day. A new beginning, for us. It’s not where I wish we were, but it’s one step closer.
Having her to myself will at least ease my frustration at the fact that she won’t completely surrender to me.
I don’t think it’ll take long, though. Once she’s one hundred percent mine, I’m never letting her ass go.
She and Stella are mine.
Mine to protect.
Mine to care for.
Mine to love.
Chapter Ten
BRENTLEE
“Mommy,” a sweet little voice stage whispers in my face.
I pinch my eyes closed tightly before I open them and find Stella about two centimeters away from my nose.
Her eyes are wide and bright and she has a huge smile on her face. I, however, feel as though I have slept about five minutes. I feel hungover, even though I didn’t drink a drop last night.
“Stella,” I whisper back. She giggles.
“Bates is sweeping,” she says.
My eyes widen and my body stiffens. I’m naked, he’s naked, and Stella is right there—her eyes wide and bright and focused on me. Oh, holy shit.
“Yes, he is. Why don’t you go into the living room and get a toy out and I’ll be there in a minute to make breakfast,” I say, trying not to sound panicked, though panicked is exactly how I feel.
“Okay, mommy,” she says before she shrugs and runs off.
“Told you she wouldn’t give a fuck,” Bates murmurs gruffly behind me.
“I need to get up,” I say, ignoring his gloating.
“Sleep. You worked your gorgeous ass off last night, and this morning,” he chuckles kissing my shoulder before he stands and walks to the dresser.
It’s his only piece of furniture, other than the bed in the room.
Wordlessly, I watch as he pulls on a pair of black boxer briefs, and I sigh at how freaking fantastic his ass looks in them.
I have never been an ass woman, but Bates’ ass, it’s worthy of a swoon or two. Then, he pulls on a pair of low waisted sweats and grabs a black tank, covering his gorgeous chest, but luckily leaving his gigantic arms on display for me to ogle.
I hold my breath when he walks over to me and plants a fist and knee in the bed before he leans down and his lips brush my cheek.
His beard rubs against me, and it makes me break out in a light sheen of sweat. I want that rough beard to rub against the rest of my body, now.
“Sleep, tigritsa,” he murmurs.
I close my eyes, falling asleep in a matter of seconds.
Hours later, I wake to a quiet house, too quiet. I sit straight up in a panic and grab Bates’ shirt from the floor
, throwing it on before I rush out of the bedroom.
Stella should be playing loudly, the television should be on, and there should be noise everywhere.
I run to the living room only to find the television off and the space empty. My next stop is the kitchen.
There is evidence of breakfast scattered all around, but no Stella and no Bates. I rush out of the front door and stop dead in my tracks on the porch.
Stella is on a little bicycle, equipped with training wheels. Her hair is in pigtail braids, and she’s wearing a pink helmet on her head.
Bates is crouching down behind her, in jeans and a tight t-shirt, a smile on his face as he holds onto the bike seat behind her little booty.
She has the biggest, happiest smile on her chubby cheeks as her feet peddle the bike forward, with the help of Bates pushing behind her.
The sight is so gorgeous, so absolutely beautiful, that I can’t help but get emotional. I couldn’t even if I wanted to. The tears fall, and I do nothing to try and stop them or wipe them away.
Bates is teaching my daughter how to ride a bike on an old dirt road, in front of my dream house. He’s doing something with her that her own father never once even trie. He’s spending quality time with her.
I feel a pang in my chest. It hurts. It’s too sweet. All I can think is that it’s never going to last, and Stella will be destroyed.
I’ll be devastated and I’ll never move on from him. Stella, she’ll be completely and totally destroyed when he finally leaves us.
The thought makes me cry even harder.
“Mama, I wide,” Stella yells with a smile.
“Good job, sweet girl,” I call out, trying to keep my voice from wavering with emotion.
Bates’ head comes up and I hold my breath when he smiles—full on bright with white teeth smile. I watch as his eyes scan my barely covered body.
His gaze intensifies, turning even darker. Then his smile turns into a naughty smirk. I can almost see the dirty thoughts running through his head.
“Go get dressed, baby. LeeLee and the kids are coming over,” he announces. My mood immediately shifts.
“Yeah?” I excitedly ask.
“Lee wanted to have lunch and do a playdate. I got some shit to do, but I’ll have protection here for you,” he calls out.
