“Well, I should be killed for that alone. I fuckingloveevery inch of this incredible body.”
Now her eyes jump to mine, and she frowns as if she’s confused.
“Why?”
I blink at her.
“I don’t understand,” she continues with a whisper. “You could haveanyone.Look at you.”
Her eyes dance over my reflection.
“You’re so handsome. Dangerous. Strong. Powerful.” Her voice takes on an edge that I fucking hate. “And I’m …this.”
“You’re fucking perfect,” I growl next to her ear.
“I’m—”
“Eloise, you’re beautiful?—”
“Yellow.”
I rear back as if she struck me and stare at her reflection. “You need to talk tome, firefly.”
“The ropes are beautiful,” she says. “And I hope we do this often because I might be addicted to it now.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“We can talk about it later.”
“We’ll talk about it now.” I wrap my arms around her from behind and hold her against me, watching her gaze in the mirror. “Tell me why you don’t think you’re good enough.”
“Loveland didn’t even want to hire me. My dad reminded me on the regular that I’m too fat, too plain, too … everything.”
I shake my head, but she keeps talking.
“And I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I guess I just don’t get it. I don’t see it.”
“Okay.” I kiss her neck, still watching her. “I’ll show you. The minute I saw you walk into my club, I knew you were mine. I felt it down to my bones, and I was looking at you through a video camera.”
She bites her lip but doesn’t interrupt me.
“Your lips are so goddamn fuckable, and I love the sass that comes out of them.” My thumb drifts over said lips, and she smiles softly. “Those green eyes of yours will get you anything you want.”
“Good to know.”
I smirk and continue. “I can’t keep my hands out of your hair. Off your body. I’ve never wanted to touch anyone the way I want to touch you. Your breasts are full, and your pink nipples are every fucking wet dream I’ve ever had. I love lying my head on your stomach while we watch TV. Your softness is such a contrast to your innerstrength. Your legs wrap around me perfectly. And your pussy.”
I groan and rest my mouth on her shoulder as I push my hard cock against her lower back, unable to stop myself from grinding against her.
“Christ, there’s nothing about you that I don’t want. That I don’t crave. Ilose myselfin you, Eloise, and I don’t ever lose myself in anything.”
Tears fill her eyes as she leans into me.
“Thank you.”
“If youeverquestion how fucking beautiful you are, you just tell me, and I’ll remind you that there’s no one in this world I want more than you.”
She swallows thickly as my hand glides down the front of her, over the ropes, and between her legs, where she’s still sopping wet for me.
