“No.” I wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him closer. “I’m just… tender. But I want it.”
“Emma.” He frames my face with his hands, forcing me to meet his eyes. “You can say no.”
That’s exactly why I want it.
“I know.” I reach up and trace the line of his jaw, feeling the tension there. “But Bodhi, if you don’t fuck me right now, I’m going to have to finish the job for you because I’m right on the edge.”
His control fractures.
He enters me with one slow thrust, giving me time to adjust to the stretch. It burns, but the sting quickly fades into something else. Something that feels like being complete.
“Fuck.” He grits out, forehead dropping to mine. “You feel incredible.”
When I rock my hips experimentally, he groans. This is all so new to me, and I’m drunk on the power I have over this man. So, I do it again and watch with fascination as his restraint crumbles.
He pulls back and drives forward, setting a rhythm that has me crying out with each thrust. There’s nothing gentle about it. He takes me hard and deep, exactly as promised, but there’s reverence too. In the way he watches my face. The way his thumb turns my chin, forcing me to hold his gaze as I climb higher and higher. The way he adjusts his angle until I’m tumbling over the edge again.
“Mine,” he growls with each thrust. “Say it.”
“Yours.” I dig my nails into his back, leaving marks of my own. “Mine.”
He drives deeper, harder, his pace becoming frenzied as he nears the edge.
I can feel him swelling inside me, getting harder, and I know what’s coming.
“Faster. Harder,” I demand.
When he hesitates, I bite his shoulder, and a sound that’s more animal than man escapes him as I sink my teeth into the curve where neck meets shoulder, right on top of the first bite.
Dizzying pleasure crashes into me as we come together, lost to the sensations.
When he finally pulls back to look at me, his expression is softer than I’ve ever seen it. He brushes the hair from my face with gentle fingers.
“I told you, if you bite me again and I might just bite you back,” he teases.
Betraying how much that appeals to me, I whimper, and he kisses the spot he’s chosen as his own, his lips soothing the sting of his teasing nip of his teeth. “Soon,” he says, making a promise to my neck that he’ll be back.
“I love you,” he murmurs against my neck. “Should have said it again before now, so you know it’s not just the sex talking.”
“I know.” I turn my head to find his mouth, a big grin plastered on my face. “I love you too.”
His smile against my lips is everything.
“I’m not done with you.” He warns, and I feel him already hardening inside me again. “Bear stamina.”
Surprised by his impressive recovery time, I gasp. “Already?” I’m only just getting my breath back.
“I’ve been waiting for you my whole life.” He rocks his hips, making me whimper. “You think one time is enough?”
It’s not a question. And from the promise in his eyes, sleep is a long way off.
I pull him down for another kiss.
“Show me what else you’ve got.”
