“Done,” he whispered.
She’d imagined this moment, but when it actually came, it felt different, not quite what she’d anticipated. It was as if they’d crossed an invisible barrier, known only to them, and they were venturing into unmapped terrain.
“Done?” she whispered. It seemed too sacred a moment to speak above a whisper.
“Yes, Bonita,” he whispered. His finger under her chin, he tipped her face up to his. She looked into his dark eyes that looked upon her with so much tenderness and love, she felt a lump rise in her throat. He looked as if he’d spent his entire life in search of something precious, and now he held his long-sought treasure in the palm of his hand. He looked victorious. Elated. And something else hung in the air, though she couldn’t put her finger on it.
Hunger.
Thirst.
Desire.
His hand on the back of her neck, he pulled her over to him in a kiss so hard, so passionate, it was almost savage. It took her breath away, as one hand held her neck, his mouth plundered hers, and his other hand twisted the chain on her neck. The cold metal tugged at her skin, but it didn’t hurt. Rather, it felt nice, almost comforting. Meredith’s heart pounded in excitement. He released her, and she watched him, curious what he would do or say next. She felt like floating. She felt as if they were on the cusp of something new, but she didn’t know what.
He pointed wordlessly for her to go to the bed, and she stood, eagerly obeying him, fingering the cold metal, smooth as silk under her fingers. It felt sturdy. She tugged, and the pull of the chain on the back of her neck gave her goose bumps. So caught up in the moment, and the feel of her new, symbolic gift around her neck, she was unaware of him coming to the bed with her until he was already there, stripped.
He climbed up next to her, and she knew without him saying a word, that tonight would not be about tying her up, or putting her over his knee and spanking her to ecstasy. No, tonight was his claiming.
“You’re all mine, baby,” he whispered in her ear, pushing her down on the bed as he positioned himself above her, and she felt him hard against her thigh. His voice was husky with emotion. Dipping his head, he nipped at her shoulder, and she gasped, arousal pooling between her legs at the way his whiskers scratched her naked skin, his voice deep and just above a growl, his powerful hands holding hers by her side as his tongue flicked over the place he’d nipped.
Paolo’s mouth found hers, and one of his hands brushed one of her breasts, his kiss deep and pleasantly familiar, as she basked in the knowledge that she was his precious girl, and his alone. His hand released her breast and found its way to her collar, tugging and twisting so that she felt the sharp pull. He released it and resumed stroking his hand along the length of her body.
“You were a good girl tonight,” he said, before his mouth met hers again. She had been. This time, it had been easy. It would not always be so easy. This, she knew. But she also knew, now from her own experience, as well as from what she’d heard from Annalise, that the difficult times would make them stronger. The trials and tests would come, but each obstacle they overcame would fortify their bond. They would continue to build their life together, each and every day, as each would learn to meet the needs of the other.
Complete.
Meredith kissed him back, and he groaned as her tongue flicked in his mouth, and he ground himself against her hips. She marveled at the strength of him. He felt stronger now than he had decades before.
“Those biceps are something else, handsome,” she murmured.
“The better to spank you with.”
“And my, what powerful hands you have,” she said, her voice just a whisper.
“The better to restrain you with.”
“I want to run my tongue along the edge of those gorgeous shoulders,” she whispered, eyeing the breadth of his shoulders above her, the strength in his back, and the harnessed power he held above her.
“Have at it,” he chuckled, his own mouth dipping to her breasts, his teeth gently nipping one hardened nipple as her head fell back on the pillow and she welcomed the hazy arousal.
“I love you,” he murmured. Hundreds—no, thousands of times he’d said those words, but tonight, she truly heard them. They’d no longer become a closing phrase on a phone call or a good night whisper. Tonight, she felt the words and the significance they held, her voice shaking with unshed tears as she replied.
“And I love you.” She swallowed against the lump in her throat.
“We’ve just begun this journey, Bonita,” he said.
And as he spoke, the realization hit her. There was no need to know what happened next. She didn’t need to know what was coming, or where they would go. She didn’t need to know his plans for her, or what lay in store for them.
She was already in her place. She was his, forever, and wherever he took them, she would follow.
The End
Jane Henry
Jane has been writing since her early teens, dabbling in short stories and poetry. When she married and began having children, her pen was laid to rest for several years, until the National Novel Writing Challenge (NaNoWriMo) in 2010 awakened in her the desire to write again. That year, she wrote her first novel, and has been writing ever since. In 2012, she became interested in the D/s lifestyle, and has discovered her love for writing romance with a D/s twist. With a houseful of children, she finds time to write in the early hours of the morning, squirreled away with a laptop, blanket, and cup of hot coffee. Years ago, she heard the wise advice, “Write the book you want to read,” and has taken it to heart. She sincerely hopes you also enjoy the books she likes to read.
