A heavy laugh escaped me, and I nodded. "So vanilla." I tugged her bottom lip between my teeth as a shiver raced up my back when she tugged my piercing. "Naughty."

"Always." She smiled, before breaking out a deep moan when I pressed slowly into her. Despite her distraction, her fingers continued to explore me.

Nora was the only one to ever earn the privilege of indiscriminate touch. I moved with her and against her, the same way she moved with me.

"Will you come like this?" she asked, her voice soft.

"Yes." I brushed my nose against hers. "Will you?"

"You know I will." Again, her sexy smile parted her ruby lips that I couldn't stop kissing.

We shifted together, gentler than usual as our words faded to the movement of our bodies. Instead of harsh actions or edged releases, we rocked together in unison for the first time in a long time. Maybe ever.

Our fucking turned to something tender, and when Nora's body lifted with the rise of her release, I followed. Her back arched, and her fingers fumbled the rhythm against me. It didn't matter though, she already carried me with her. Breath left us in matched puffs, and her toes dug into my calves when she moaned. I claimed her mouth with mine as I came, devouring her while we rode the aftershocks together.

In time, we both calmed, and I planted my hands on the bed beside her shoulders to gaze down at her. Her sweet smile broadened, and she gazed at me through her lashes.

"I love you," she said, her voice a gravelly whisper.

"I love you, too." I stroked her cheek before kissing it again. "My Kitten."

"My Beast." She snickered and opened her eyes to look at me properly. "Kitten and the Beast. That would be our porno title."

I cracked up, shaking my head at her. "That can be our web channel when I quit my job after getting a promotion and need to make money in other ways. Internet BDSM porn with you as my star."

She laughed at me while stroking my chest and shoulders in soothing rotations. "That would be so fun."

"Hmm." I cocked a brow at her. "Hey, Nor?"

"What?" She laughed and grabbed handfuls of my hair.

"Want to make a porno with me?" I wagged my brows at her, and her giggles only increased.

"You mean just record on video what we do every night."

"That's exactly what I mean." I grinned and spoke against her lips. "What should we do first?"

"You should spank me first," she said, her bottom lip poking out in a pout. "Right now."

"I could be convinced." I rolled off her then scooted to sit against the headboard. "Convince me."

She whined when I moved, then turned over to crawl toward me. I couldn't pull my gaze from the way her perfect body flexed with each movement. Her eyes never left mine as she draped herself across my lap, her ass in the perfect spot for a solid whack. She propped her chin on her hands, then kicked her feet up, crossing them at the ankles.

That smile, that mischievous smile, won as always. "Convinced?"

"Yes." I swatted her ass once while laughing. "You know I can't resist you."

A heavy shiver raced up her body and she slowly relaxed, her grin lingering. "I know."

"What am I gonna do to you, Kitten?" I leaned down to kiss her rear, then the small of her back.

"Make me purr," she said, a soft moan escaping her. "Like you always do. Just for me."

"Just for you, Nor." I whispered against her ear, caressing the length of her forearm until my fingers tangled with her bracelet. I thumbed the silver leaf, flipping it over to reveal the etching on the back. "Just for you."

"Forever?" She quivered in my grasp, pressing her cheek against mine as we continued to share our sweet declarations. Her smile broadened and she stroked my fingernails while we both gazed at her bracelet.

"Forever." I nodded, meeting her gaze as I ran my knuckle down her cheek. Swells of warmth pulsed through me, radiating around us like the energy from a newborn star. "Just for you."

Nora nodded, her body relaxing in my lap while she held my hand to her chest. The submission, the full giving of herself over to me in the sweetest surrender, told me more than I would ever need to know. She gave me her whole self and the entirety of her trust, as she held mine in return. I would always cherish her, forever, as promised, together in a way that only we could understand. I brushed my thumb over the curve of her bracelet again, remembering my first promise to her. My first and my last, with my Kitten.
