I need to remember the lesson of the hogweed. The rash isn’t bad—I’ve lived through much worse—but it’s a good reminder that Bella is more than she seems to be. I’m dying to touch her all over, but I need to be careful.
Even though she looks very nervous right now. She bites her plump lower lip, and I have to bite back a growl. My dick is hard enough to pound nails, but I’m not going to pounce on her. Not yet. I have to go slowly, or I’ll lose control.
Some day I’ll be able to spank her hard, pull her hair, and bite hard enough to bruise and break the skin. She’ll wear my marks under her clothes.
But first I’ll have to break her in.
I have all the time in the world. No one will take her from me.
She’s new to all this, but if I do it right, she’ll crave the sensations I give her. I will master her until she submits to me fully.
“You don’t have to fight me, little one. I’m going to give you everything you want,” I murmur, using my thumb to smooth out her forehead. “What are you thinking? You can tell me.”
“I want to know what you’re going to do.”
“Why? So you can fight me? You don’t always need to be one step ahead. There’s great power in surrendering.”
She rolls her eyes. “Says the man who would never surrender.”
“You want to dom me?”
“Would you let me do that?”
“How would you do it? Talk me through it.”
She licks her lips, and my cock jumps in my pants.
“I’d tie you up?” She frowns when she hears the question in her voice. “To the headboard. And take off your pants. I want to see it.” Her eyes dart to my crotch.
My dick pulses. I’ve never fucked a woman raw. I’ve always sheathed up. My skin is so numb, so it was never a huge loss of sensation. I still feel the pressure, the build-up, the release.
I never longed for skin-to-skin contact, but I’m dying to sink into my soon-to-be-bride’s hot, wet pussy. Something tells me I’ll feel it with her. All the more reason to be extra careful. The predator in me is ready to be unleashed.
“Do you think you deserve to see it? I was going to make you earn it.”
“What were you going to make me do?”
“That depends on how good you are. I don’t trust you to touch me yet, so I was going to tie you up. Stroke you all over. You were good in the bath for me, so I won’t use the special oil on your clit. Just your bottom. But first… I want to play with your pretty nipples. See how sensitive they are.”
“Do you like them?”
Is this what she’s worried about? “They’re everything I’ve dreamed of.”
She looks excited, then a shadow passes over her face. “You’ve been watching me. You… were assigned to me.”
“To watch you come and go. Not to study your every move. Not to break into your room and read your copy of Viking Thunder.”
“You know about Viking Thunder?”
“The book with a blond like me on the cover. The one you read over and over? Yes, I know about it.”
She blinks and shakes her head a little. “So you watched me at night.”
My voice is thick when I admit, “Yes. And I saw everything.”
“That time in the garden… when Radley came at me. Were you protecting me?”
“Absolutely.”
When I lock onto something or someone, I get obsessive. And jealous. It’s the closest emotion to love I can feel.
She shivers. “You wouldn’t have let him hurt me.”
“I would’ve killed him before he touched you. From now on, you’re off limits to everyone. No one else goes near you, little bride.”
“You won’t let Fraternitas hurt me?”
“They won’t touch you.” My brothers will respect my claim. She’s my reward. “You’re mine.”
“Even if my father disobeys?”
“He won’t. Not while I have you.”
“And that’s why you wanted me. To control me.”
“More than that.” But I do grab her hair and draw back her head. “I only watched you a few days before I knew… I wanted to own you.”
“And what will you do to me?”
“Give me one night to show you, little bride. One night. I’ll even make you come. Or…” I release her hair. “I can read you a bedtime story, tuck you in, and let you sleep.” My dick throbs. If I could feel it, I bet I’d be in agony, needing to fuck her now.
Go slowly.
She’s biting her lip. “You could hurt me.”
“You’re mine now. I don’t break my toys.” Anymore. Hurting her, killing her, would be a breach of contract, so I’m going to have to practice restraint. She’s unlike any other toy I’ve ever had. I won’t just own her for a night. She’ll be mine for a lifetime, so I need to take care not to push her too far, too soon. “Do you have a safeword?” Asking for a safeword is what a good dom would do. I might even honor it.
