“It’s fine, Marie.”
She went to leave.
“Oh, Marie. Can you and Charlie pop down to the local supermarket? Miss Robins has just moved into her house but has no transport. She needs food, staples, washing things, everything you know. Can you stock up please?”
“Of course.”
“Please, Alex, I can do it!” Kallie protested.
“Nonsense. This way I can get you back home tomorrow with plenty of time to spare before your mattresses are delivered. Otherwise, it will be a rush to get to the supermarket and back by ten.”
Upset that Marie had to do her shopping for her, Kallie realised he was correct. Still she tried to resist. “I can easily hire a car, Alex.”
“I’m sure you could but this would make things much easier for you.”
His tone indicated he would brook no refusal. Kallie realised the Dom had spoken and she was fighting a losing battle. Alex was determined Marie shop for her. She gave up and smiled at Marie.
“I’m so sorry, Marie. I hope you don’t mind.”
The woman laughed. “Mind? Certainly not, I actually enjoy any kind of shopping. You just relax and enjoy your coffee. Is there anything you especially need or brands you like or don’t like?”
Before she could answer Alex spoke. “The pantry is empty so everything and no fish.” Marie went to leave. “Oh and some of that herbal shampoo you get for me. I like that smell.”
A little puzzled, Marie looked from one to another, but she grinned and left them. Kallie was giggling on the inside. He just couldn’t resist being bossy and a Dom. She stood and poured out a coffee for them both.
“Thank you, Alex. You’re right. It will make things easier. Milk or sugar?”
“Just milk, thanks.”
She topped his cup with milk and then poured some in hers, as well as sugar. She handed him his cup and sat back down. “Your home is lovely, Alex. I’m envious, and I really love your kitchen. Have you been here long?”
He explained how he and Dan had both bought their land when they were in their twenties. He had built the house and lived here ever since. Kallie found it peaceful sitting there. She could hear the muted sound of the surf in the background. About half an hour later Alex stood.
“I’ll leave you. At the bottom of the stairs, near when we entered on the right is my library. Please feel free to relax in there if you’d like to.”
“Thank you.” She wanted him to stay. She wanted him to go. Torn she watched as he left.
Kallie stayed among the indoor plants for ten minutes or so and then got to her feet. She walked inside went into the library. If the house stunned her, then the library did more so. There were so many books. She could see by the way the spines looked that they’d been used. This wasn’t some rich man’s show-off room. Instead, it was a genuine book lover’s room. It delighted her.
She walked around, trailing her fingers across the books. It looked like she and Alex shared a love. There was a comfy couch set near a coffee table, and Kallie noticed a haphazard pile of books on another table between two leather armchairs. She read the authors—Reilly, Cornwall, Nye, Cussler; a couple of books on otters; one on polar bears; and even a Stephen Hawking with pencil notes scribbled in the margins.
Kallie sat in one of the chairs and couldn’t resist reading some of his notes. It looked as if he was trying to work out in his own mind some of the comments Hawking had made. She put the book aside and picked up the Reilly. It was his latest, one she’d promised herself to buy. Curling her feet up on the chair, she started to read.
She must have fallen asleep because the next thing she knew she felt someone pick her up. She opened her eyes sleepily. Alex held her safely in his arms.
“You fell asleep. It’s late.”
She murmured, “Oh,” as her head fell against him.
He carried her up the stairs and into the bedroom. Carefully he laid her on the bed then straightened up, looking down at her. “Good night, Kallista Robins. I’ll see you in the morning.”
He turned on his heels and left. Kallie felt strangely disappointed. It was silly really, but she rather wished he had kissed her. Tired, she stood, stripped off her jeans and shirt, and then wriggled back into bed snuggling under the bedclothes.
The next thing she knew, the sun was streaming in the window. After using the bathroom, she washed her face and hands and then pulled her clothes back on.
She shoved her dirty things in the plastic bag and left it on the bed to collect later. Going downstairs, she could hear voices. Then Marie walked past.
“Oh, Miss Robins. Miss Alex is on the veranda. I’ll bring you out some breakfast. Would you like eggs and bacon, omelet, scrambled eggs?”
“Just some toast and either coffee or tea would be lovely, Marie.”
“Which would you prefer?”
“Um…tea please.”
“Certainly. Go and relax. I won’t be long.”
“Thank you.”
Kallie went through the atrium and out onto the veranda. Alex was reading the paper, his breakfast in front of him. He put the paper aside as she sat down.
“As soon as we have breakfast I’ll drive you home. Charlie has put your groceries in the car. I’ve got a small fridge in the back so all your cold stuff will be safe.”
“Thank you, Alex.”
By the time they’d finished eating and driven to her house it was nine thirty. Alex helped carry in all the groceries, the shopping from last night, and even helped pack everything away. It took them both a while, and she was shocked at the amount of things Marie had bought. She really wouldn’t need to shop for a while.
“Alex, I need to pay you for all this.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. It wasn’t much.”
That was a blatant lie. It would have been one very expensive shop. “No please, Alex.”
He laughed. “Call it remuneration for my obnoxious behaviour last week.”
He grinned down at her, and she couldn’t resist rolling her eyes as she shook her head. She heard his swift intake of breath and realised if she were his sub she would have been punished for that. It jolted her somewhere around the vicinity of her groin. She found herself wondering what he would do as punishment. A knock on the door saved her from further thoughts. Kallie discovered her mattresses had arrived early.
The two delivery people quickly carried them inside, ripping off the plastic covers and putting them onto the bases for her. They even offered to take away the old ones, for which she was really grateful. The men left the pillows in a pile on the kitchen table.
Kallie thanked them both and closed the front door behind them. She went back into the kitchen. Alex had some of the pillows in his arms.
“I’ll put these in your spare rooms.”
“Thanks.”
Kallie picked up the remaining couple and took them into her bedroom. As she went to throw them on the bed, she somehow managed to catch one of her earrings and pull it free. It fell to the floor and rolled under the bed. She got down on her hands and knees but couldn’t reach it. Sticking her head and one arm under the bed, she heard Alex come in.
Chapter Ten
Alex walked into the master bedroom. He couldn’t see Kallie at first so he moved around the bed. When he saw her, he couldn’t help himself. He groaned—loudly. With her gorgeous bum stuck high in the air, she had her head under the bed. As he watched, she crawled out and sat back on her heels in front of him.
He caught his breath and looked down at her. Suddenly his pulse raced. His breathing increased. He wanted her. She had her eyes down looking at something in her hand and innocently spoke.
“Dropped an earring.” Then she looked up.
It was electrifying! It was so obvious she thought the same thing as him. There she was, a sub, on her knees in front of a Dom. Alex couldn’t help himself. He automatically slid into his Dom persona, his voice authoritative as he gave her an order.
“Stand.”
Kallie st
ood with her eyes downcast and so close to him. He could smell the scent from her hair. He could hear her rapid breathing. He could touch her so easily. The seconds ticked by, and then slowly she looked up at him and waited, her eyes never leaving his face.
Neither spoke, neither moved.
He could leave now.
No—he should leave now.
Alex shut his eyes and then exhaled noisily. He counted to ten silently as he got himself back under control. But as he turned to walk away, he caught a brief flash of disappointment on her face and the tiny “oh” of regret that escaped. It was enough. Instead of leaving the room, he walked over to the large rattan chair and sat. She hadn’t moved, hadn’t even turned her head to watch him.
“Come here.”
Kallie walked slowly toward him and stood a foot away, her eyes downcast. Alex realised he couldn’t just assume she wanted this. They’d had an exceedingly rocky start. He knew he’d made terrible mistakes with her in the past. This could be just a subs reaction to a Dom’s order the same way as she had come to the restaurant that terrible night. He needed to give her an out in case he’d read this all wrong.
“Your choice, Kallista. Either I go now or you remove your jeans and shirt. Regardless of what happens now, I sincerely promise after today I will respect your wishes and never see you again. I know I’ve said so many times, but this time I honestly mean it.”
He waited, holding his breath and praying she would let him stay, would let him show her some delights of being with him. He watched the play of emotions across her face as she tried to make her decision. It seemed like an eternity, but she finally pulled off her shirt, and he began to breathe again. She unzipped her jeans and shimmied out of them.
She looked magnificent. Her full breasts seemed to be trying to escape the lacy bra she wore. Hard nipples in the dark areola were beckoning him. Her tiny knickers barely covered her. Her luscious well-padded curves made his mouth water.
“Remove the bra.”
She reached around her back, unclipped it, and let it slide down her arms to the floor. Those breasts were even better now they were free. If he held each one, they would still spill over. He wanted more.
“Touch them.”
She looked up at him and ran one hand across her breasts.
“Do it properly, both hands.”
She began rubbing and squeezing them. He felt his cock pushing against his pants. She closed her eyes.
“Open your eyes and look at me.”
She obeyed.
“Pull your nipples hard.” He watched her tweak the nipples between her thumb and forefinger.
“Harder.”
He could see them grow harder and harder, the area around them pebbling. She never took her eyes from his. Huskily he whispered, “Remove your panties.”
As she bent forward to slide them down her legs, her lovely breasts swung back and forth. He wanted to touch her beautiful body. He reached out with one hand and ran his finger from her neck down to her belly button and then back up.
“Legs apart.”
She complied.
“Feel yourself. Prove to me you want this as much as I do.”
She ran one hand down between her legs and, as he watched, rubbed along her slit. She held out her finger. It glistened with her juices. Alex realised he had no condoms. There would be no way Kallie would have any either. Damn! He would have to satisfy her some other way.
“Come closer.”
“Now put one leg on the chair.”
He twisted to the side. With her glorious pussy at face level, he could see how very wet she was. He reached up with one hand and ran it along her shiny slit. He heard her swift intake and looked at her face. Flushed, Kallie was chewing on her bottom lip.
He began to rub against her clit. The tiny bead hardened in reaction. “Answer me truthfully. When did you last have a man touch you?”
“Four years ago, Sir,” she said, her voice soft and so sensual.
This was the voice that had haunted his dreams and now hearing her and seeing her naked in front of him he felt helpless. Strange feelings for her swept over him. He looked up into her gorgeous face. He nodded. She would be out of practise at playing. It would be unfair to expect her to hold orgasms or not to speak. Besides, he wanted to watch her come, wanted to see her face and hear her. He pushed one finger inside her while rubbing her clit. Her eyes widened as he began to push his finger in and out. He inserted a second and hooked it, trying to find her elusive G-spot. When he found it, he began drumming on it.
She hardened her bite on her bottom lip. He felt her muscles tighten as she tried to hold back her gathering orgasm. Pleased, he leaned forward and licked her while his fingers continued to play with her G-spot. She tasted so sweet. He sucked her clit and nipped at it. Her legs tensed and then began to shake as she tried to hold off her orgasm.
He lapped at her juices and sucked her clit. She began to wobble. He grabbed her leg with one hand and increased his assault on her clit and her pussy. He glanced up and saw her eyes were filled with tears from trying to please him. Delighted with her attempt he said, “You may come whenever you wish.”
The relief on her face was obvious. He went back to licking.
She tensed.
She moaned.
She screamed!
He grinned.
He laughed.
Putting her leg back on the ground, he stood and picked her up. When she laid her head against his chest, he felt a sudden urge to protect her, to care for her always. Carefully he placed her on the bed and followed her down. Softly he pressed his lips to hers. He used his lips to tease hers, kissing the corner of her lip, licking along the full bottom lip before finally pressing his against hers.
It was as if someone had shocked him! He couldn’t help the moan that escaped as he deepened the kiss. Her lips were electrifying him. He fought with her tongue. His mouth felt as if it were on fire. He could feel his heart pounding.
One of Kallie’s arms went around his body. He felt her pushed the other hand between his shirt and skin. He broke the kiss so he could take one nipple into his mouth. It felt divine as she squirmed when he bit down.
He used his fingers to play with the other while he attended this one. His cock was causing him pain, but he wanted this to be about her. He wanted to make sure this one final memory erased all the bad she’d experienced with him.
Alex vowed to himself after this no matter how hard it would be for him he would leave have to her alone. He went lower with one hand and parted her legs again. Once more he pushed two fingers inside her and used his thumb on her clit while he nibbled on her tit. Kallie wriggled, trying to get his fingers in deeper.
He broke off and looked at her. “Naughty.”
He waited a few seconds and then began again. This time she behaved, and he pushed his fingers in as deep as he could. He began thrusting with them, fucking her with them. He bit her nipple and then bit the other even harder. She moaned loudly with her eyes closed, and as he hooked onto her G-spot, he felt Kallie react again. Her legs spread wider. Her breathing increased. He could hear her heart thumping.
“I want to hear you scream for me as I fuck this cunt.”
Her liquid blue eyes opened quickly and looked into his. Her face flushed with a glossy sheen of perspiration. He pumped with his fingers and thumb and caught one nipple between his teeth. He could feel her tense, and he knew it was time. He bit down harder.
She shouted loudly as he stopped to demand.
“Say my name!”
“Alex,” she screamed. “Alex!”
Alex continued pumping. He wanted her orgasm to last as long as possible. Shuddering as it rolled across her, he could feel it pulsing through his fingers. When she finally stopped he licked the nipple he'd bitten and looked down at her. Her eyes were glazed, and her breath came in little puffs. He could see the pulse at her neck throbbing and could almost see her heart racing. He waited a few seconds and then kissed her gently.
“Thank you, Kallie. I know I keep promising to leave you alone but I…I couldn’t resist you when I saw you kneeling in front of me.”
She searched his face, but he had no doubt she would see the truth he spoke. “You are truly the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I know you don’t understand my reactions. Hell, neither do I but I can’t stop myself around you. You’re like a siren calling me, and I’m crashing against the rocks. I’m helpless to resist.”
Alex could see her puzzled expression. She honestly didn’t know what to say. He guessed he’d confused her completely now. He glanced along her delightful body. All he wanted to do was sink his cock deep inside her and stay there safe forever. He’d never had this feeling in his entire life. It almost felt as if he was falling deep into her.
Somehow he had to drag himself away from her. He had to leave, and he had let her go. It would be the hardest thing he had ever done in his life, but he knew it needed to be this way.
“I’ll leave now. Thank you, Kallie. Thank you for everything. Try to think better of me.” Reluctantly, he touched her soft cheek. “This time I’ll stay away from you. I promise. No matter how hard you are to resist I will. You’ve honoured me with this, and I will carry it with me for the rest of my life.”
He got to his feet and sadly left the room. He’d almost reached the front door when he heard her uncertain call.
“Alex?”
Her voice held fear, and worriedly he strode back into the bedroom. He looked down at her sitting naked on the bed, her skin flushed from their lovemaking, her lips bruised red. All he wanted to wrap her in his arms and never let her go.
“What’s wrong?”
Kallie wrapped her arms around herself and frowned. “I…what…” She definitely looked scared, looked unsure. “What if I wanted to see you again?” she finally blurted out as if unsure of his reaction.
“You do?” he asked hopefully.
She nodded. He returned to the bed and sat on the edge, taking her hand. “Kallie, this is new to me. I don’t honestly know if I can do it. I’m a Dom you know that. What you don’t know is I always keep my emotions separate. I’m normally fully in control, but I honestly don’t know how to react around you. You’ve turned everything upside down, and I’m almost lost. When I’m near you my control goes out the window.”
