“That’s it, kitten, keep your heat rising. Don’t you come, though. That’s my job. I’ll take you there.” By now she was beyond stopping. Her hands were pushing hard against her body, rubbing to find relief against the sexual tension building between her legs. The security gate slowly opened, as I slid my hand up her leg to touch her where she was aching most. Lips parted, she was breathing short and shallow.
“Hold it, Zoe. Don’t you let go yet.”
Biting down on her lip, she was hanging by a thread. Pulling to a stop in front of the house, I pushed her wet panties to the side and ran my finger slowly all the way through her folds until I touched her swollen clit, pressing hard.
“Oh, Luke. Fuck, please let me come.” The longer she held on, the bigger the orgasm would be, the pain bringing ecstasy.
“Nearly, baby, you can hold on a little longer.”
“No, no, I can’t. I can’t, Luke, please,” she panted, her hips pushing into my hand, trying to gain the relief she so desperately sought. Looking at my beauty, totally out of control, I pushed my fingers inside her and let her fuck my hand.
“Give it to me, Zoe, come for me.” Her loud cry signaled the start of the orgasm that ran through her body at full force. Petting her through it, her smile told me all I needed to know. She was happy which was all I ever wanted for her.
Sucking in breaths, she mumbled, “Luke, you are a bad boy.”
“You love me being bad, especially when I’m bad with you.”
“Absolutely. Now carry me inside. I don’t think I can walk and that’s all your fault.”
I smiled at my sated woman beside me. “I will carry you anywhere you want to go, you know that.” Straight to the bedroom, I stood her in front of the mirror. “I want you to watch to see what I see while I strip off the dress you’ve been torturing me all night with.”
Slowly, I pulled down the zipper at the back and kissed across her shoulder towards her neck. My other hand moved up her bare arm, leaving goose bumps in its wake. I didn’t want to rush tonight. We had so much to celebrate. Taking her straps, I slid the top of her dress down her arms, her breasts falling free.
“No bra, you’re a naughty girl. What are we going to do with you, hmmm? Do we need to punish you?” Her head fell against my chest giving me better access to her neck. She knew what I wanted. “I think you deserve to be spanked for turning up looking so fucking sexy, flirting with me, knowing you were turning me on. I told you to wear something ugly, so no one would look at you. That’s what you wanted, wasn’t it, kitten? You wanted me hard as steel and unable to do anything about it. Naughty little girls get spanked, is that what you were hoping for, Zoe, you want me to spank you?”
“God, Yes.” Her fingers threaded through my hair with urgency.
“Open your eyes, Zoe. You need to see the beauty of our love. This is what it looks like. This is what you need to picture whenever you have any doubt. See how beautiful you look? The trust between us. You trust me, don’t you, Zoe?”
“With my life.” Her body shuddered as I continued to push her dress down her body.
“Mmm, my black lace. Are these for me, too? All new and now coated in your scent. Perfect.”
“Yes. Yes, Luke, all for you.” She struggled to formulate sentences, my hands exploring her body. Still watching us in the mirror, her eyes widened like she was watching a show she couldn’t look away from.
“I want you to step forward and slowly strip off those panties for me. Very slowly so I can watch you while I get naked. I want those hips swaying just like you do on the dance floor. Such a prick tease, aren’t you, my little kitten? Show me now.” It was me now hanging on by a thread. As soon as I undid my jeans, my dick stood to attention. He wanted to take her. I was now the one in pain.
“Tell me what to do, Luke. I trust you to control me.” Just like that, my resolve snapped. To have Zoe handover complete sexual control, along with her trust, was overwhelming.
Dragging the chair over I took a seat, legs spread in front of the mirror.
“Turn, lay on my lap. No questions. You asked for this. This is all you, Zoe.” Her firm, sensual ass sat just waiting for my attention. “Turn your face to the mirror. I want you to watch.” That first contact of my hand had her crying out and panting at the same time. A few more smacks and I could see her arousal running down her legs. Just like I said, with the pain came ecstasy. My fingers ran over the red handprints and slid up to her tattoo, the place that gave me so much hope for our future.
Sliding Zoe to her knees, her eyes glazed over with seduction. I took her hand to stand her up.
“I want you to turn to the mirror, straddling your legs over mine. I’m going make love to you while you watch every part of it.” Lowering her body onto mine, I wasted no time thrusting up and home. “See, baby, we are one. One love, one body, one soul. Never separate again.” I started making love to her. Thrusting in a slow, sensual rhythm. My hands lifting her, holding her in just the right spot to feel every part of me. Tears began falling down her face as she completely let go, totally surrendering. “That’s it. Finally, let me the whole way in. Into your heart and soul. It’s over now. No one will ever hurt you again. I’m not hiding anymore. You’re mine. I will protect you until my last dying breath. I love you, Zoe. Together forever.” I’d given her every piece of my soul. Unable to hold on, I released myself deep inside her. The sight in the mirror was one of pure lust, love and utter devotion between us. The most erotic thing I’d ever witnessed.
Finally, closing my eyes, I committed it to memory. The day Zoe became completely mine.
Chapter Thirty
Zoe
Every time i had sex with Luke, it was wonderful. Leaning my head back on his shoulder, I realized that was just totally on another level. I thought I felt the love before but I knew I wasn’t really letting it all in. Luke showed me that. Watching him control my body and mind revealed the love we shared. To love someone completely and unconditionally was to trust wholeheartedly and without question. Tonight, I gave him everything I’d been holding back. Those tiny pieces I was too scared to let go of but finally realized it was time. Most of all, I let him love me completely. No more hiding.
I was carried to the bed and placed gently down on the pillow. His warm body slid next to me, pulling me close. No words were spoken. They weren’t needed. We’d shown each other everything we felt. This was where I was meant to be. Now and forever, in Luke’s arms.
Sleep claimed me. I tried so hard to stay awake because I wanted to just stay in the moment for as long as I could. Hearing Luke’s soft breathing told me he’d drifted off to sleep. Time to do the same, no more need to dream about a fantasy. Tonight, I was living my dreams.
One of the benefits of being in Luke’s house, there was always plenty of food in the cupboards and fridge. I’d snuck downstairs to make my man breakfast and coffee. Breakfast in bed sounded just like what the doctor ordered. A quiet morning together just taking time to breathe.
“Now, that’s a sight I want every morning. My girl wearing my shirt and nothing else, cooking me breakfast.” His hands circled my waist from behind and kissed my neck before I could even respond.
“You ruined the surprise. I was bringing it to you in bed. I thought you were still sleeping.” Lifting the frypan off the cooker, he spun me around and took my face between his hands. He placed a tender kiss on my lips, one cheek, the other cheek, and then my forehead.
“Good morning, my girlfriend. I’m awake because I can’t sleep without you in our bed.” My heart swooned at his statement.
“Morning, my boyfriend. Our bed, is it?” That earned me a tap on my backside as he reached behind me to snatch a piece of the bacon.
“Absolutely, it is. I can’t remember the last time I slept in it alone. I think that makes it now our bed. Don’t you agree?” I had to admit, Luke’s bed was much more comfortable and bigger than mine. Although, we still stayed at my apartment, we did spend most days and nights at his. I
f we looked in Luke’s room, half my wardrobe was there.
“You’re just dirty you have to share the bed with the amount of room you take up. Am I cramping your style?” His early morning laugh still had that roughness of having just woken.
“Oh, yeah, you’re right. I am dirty in our bed and I am defiantly spreading a body out on it. Want me to show you?” Swatting his biceps, I tried to escape his hold. Not easy from someone whose muscles were solid as a rock.
“Breakfast will go cold. We both know I am a shit cook and breakfast is the only thing I can manage, so don’t waste my only effort for today. Grab the plates.” Releasing me, I got a chance to check him out. No shirt and just a pair of gym shorts hanging low on his hips. That perfect V that had a scattering of hair caught my eye, like every time he had no shirt on. I loved that spot on his body. It was the last line of defence before you entered the naughty zone. I loved to flirt my fingers there often, teasing about sliding past the forbidden line. Looking this morning, I could tell he was commando under those shorts. His cock already half-mast and I hadn’t even touched him yet.
“You keep looking at me like that and he will be more than half-mast, you will be on the bench and becoming my breakfast. Now feed me, woman.” Slapping my bum again, he carried glasses and juice to the table as I plated up.
There was a comfortable silence while we both devoured our food. Last night’s activities had left us starving. Looking at him, it dawned on me. I didn’t have to keep Luke a secret anymore. Not that I wanted to, it was just a special time, just the two of us.
“I’m not sure if I’m ready to share you with the world. I love our special time together. No interruptions, no one gate-crashing. I’m definitely not looking forward to telling Grant. Hopefully, the girls have blabbed the gossip already, though, I doubt it. We would have had a phone call by now from Grant, or a visit from your parents.”
“They already know.”
“What the hell? Luke, what do you mean? Did you tell them?” My voice was already raised, back stiffened.
“Zoe, calm down. You know I wouldn’t do that. My mom and dad guessed. Dad mentioned on his last visit. They haven’t told anyone. For my mom, that’s a miracle. Just for the record, I would never lie to you or go behind your back.” He looked a little hurt.
“I know, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.” Hopping up from my seat, I crawled onto his lap. I wanted to make sure he understood I didn’t mean it. “Although I’m ready, I must admit, I’m still scared to tell Grant. Once he knows, then the whole world will know. Then our little love bubble will burst.” My head rested on his shoulder, listening to his heart beat.
“Why don’t we stay in the bubble just for a few more days. Let me take you away, just the two of us. We will tell Grant when we get back. What do you say? Come away with me to paradise, no work, just fun.”
“How will I get time off work? Grant will ask questions. He’s already grumpy and stressed. He will probably just say no. Where would we go, anyway?”
“Just tell him you’re taking leave because Zach’s away. He can’t stop you. Plus, it’s none of his business why you want leave. Tell him to fuck off if he asks.”
“Luke, I can’t say that to your brother, he’s my boss.”
“Yes, you can. It’s easy, I do it on a regular basis. He loves it.” We both grinned knowing how much Grant hated when Luke did it.
“I’ve never been on a holiday, Luke. I don’t even know what to do or where to go.”
“Beautiful, you just let me take care of it. Here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to pack a bag for somewhere warm. Get dressed and ready to go to work. Go in and tell Grant you are taking a few days leave, starting tomorrow. Then after work, we’ll leave. That’s all you need to know, the rest you leave up to me. Let me surprise you.”
“Can we really do this? Just keep the bubble for a few more days? What about the house paperwork, what if I have to sign something?” Already, the panic of not being in control was starting to surface.
“Zoe, trust me, remember? Ring the realtor this morning. Ask her to courier over the papers today that need to be singed. We can get legal to quickly look over them and then sign, and send them back to her before we go. You’ve got this, sweetheart. There’s nothing to panic about. Now get moving, go pack some clothes. Anything you don’t have, we’ll buy there or just go without. Clothes and swimmers are overrated anyway.”
I had no idea what Luke had planned, but I sprang into action.
Who knew what the next few days would bring, but I was excited to find out.
Chapter Thirty-One
Luke
I PUSHED THROUGH every bit of work on my desk, so I didn’t leave Grant with any extra. He was already carrying Zach’s workload, so me leaving him extra would be slack. In between the work, I made flight bookings, sorted out accommodation, and spoke to my sisters about keeping it to themselves until we got back. Grant was going to be pissed but who cared? He would be the only one, so he could just get over it. Now Mom and Dad were on my side, Grant had no hope. He might be CEO now, but if push came to shove, Dad was still the boss. If he didn’t listen to him, Lord help him if Mom got hold of him. There was no way either of them would put up with him sacking Zoe. We just needed to redraft the contracts and life would be happy again. Well, for me anyway.
I wasn’t sure Zoe would be happy with where we were headed. Once we got there, I’d explain and she’d love every part of what I had planned. My cell alerted me to a message from Zoe. She had her own special ringtone so I would never miss anything from her.
Zoe: Your brother is an asshole!
Luke: Tell me something new. Are you okay?
Zoe: Yes, I am now. I have my leave. He tried to complain but I shut him down.
Luke: That’s my girl
Luke: Do I need to sort him out for you? You know I like rescuing the damsel in distress.
Zoe: Pfft… this is me we are talking about. I sorted him out myself.
Luke: Of course, you did, baby. Get your work finished. I’m taking you away. Destination unknown.
Zoe: I’m so excited. I hope he doesn’t stop you from taking leave.
Luke: Umm, he’s not my boss. Although, you would never guess. We are going no matter what.
Luke: I will tell him shortly, now get back to work, young lady. I don’t want any excuses why you can’t leave here at five o’clock. We don’t want to miss our flight.
Zoe: OOOOHHHHH a plane trip. Where to?
Luke: Nice try. Now if you were here, I would smack your ass and tell you to get back to work, so get to it.
Zoe: Yes, Boss!
Luke: Be careful with that sassiness. We know what happens to naughty girls.
Zoe: One can dream. Now stop distracting me. I have work to do. I can’t just lay around and do nothing all day.
Luke: You will be with me. Be ready at five. One minute after five o’clock, you’re all mine!
Logging into the work calendar, I crossed out my diary for the next few days. Seeing that Grant would be heading out shortly to an appointment, I needed to tell him. I glanced out the window, getting the words straight before I walked into the lion’s den. Alesha’s voice snapped me out of it.
“You look like you’re about to face a firing squad, Luke. What’s wrong?” she asked, stepping into my office with some files for me to sign. “Let me guess, you haven’t told Grant you’re going away? Well, good luck with that.” She turned to walk out, stopping at the door. “Oh, and Zoe’s property contracts are in there, too. Legal said they’re good to go for her to sign.” Hesitating, she walked back in. “For what it’s worth, I’m so happy for you both. We have all known for a while that you belonged together. I’m so glad you’re finally are able to live the life you both wanted.” I wrap my arms around her, letting her know how much I loved her and appreciated the support.
“That means the world, Leshy. It will be your turn soon. Keep your eyes open, you never know when that princ
e charming will turn up. Or maybe he already has and you’re just too scared to see it.” That earned me a giggle and swat against my chest.
“I better go find the lion. Wish me luck.” I walked out of my office with my arm around her shoulder just as Grant exited his office heading to the lift.
“Oh, shit.” Alesha giggled and walked away while I hurried down the corridor to catch him.
“Grant.” When he turned, I wished he hadn’t. That face didn’t give much hope.
“What do you need, Luke? I’m on my way out for meetings all afternoon.”
“Yeah, I know. I won’t keep you long. Just letting you know, I will be away for a few days. My buddy on the coast needs help in his boatyard. It’s urgent, otherwise I wouldn’t leave, but he needs me.”
And there it was, Grant exploded just like I expected. I saw Zoe out the corner of my eye looking worried. Grant and I had a few words, then he stormed off angrily.
Problem solved, sort of. I winked at Zoe to let her know everything was okay.
It didn’t dawn on me until we were boarding the plane that Zoe had never flown before. When she said she hadn’t been on a holiday, I didn’t think past that comment. I started to worry if she was scared. New experiences usually made her uneasy. Taking her hand and squeezing it, Zoe looked into my eyes. Instead of worry, I saw a little girl looking back at me like it was Christmas day.
“Can I sit near the window, please? Is that okay?”
