Her eyes widened as though she couldn’t believe it was true, which only proved how little she understood about herself. Ella’s true beauty had never been about her Vogue-worthy pout or pert breasts, although Tucker admired both of those assets. Her allure originated from the free spirit living inside her and the mindblowing reality that she was prepared to surrender that spirit to his pleasure.
“Yes, really.” He chuckled as the hand at the back of her shifted to wipe the tears drying under her eyes. “I want to thank you, little girl, for putting your trust in me and succumbing to the spanking.”
“You didn’t give me much choice, sir.” Her wry tone was accompanied by the mischievous smile he’d come to know and love.
“True,” he replied. “I made my feelings on the subject clear, but you still had the option to deny me, and I’m so thankful that you didn’t.”
“It’s okay.” Straightening, she wiped her eyes with the heel of her hand. “Deep down, I wanted you to spank me.” Her gaze slid to find where he’d flung the brush. “Just not so much with that thing.”
“Got it.” He laughed gently at her obvious disdain for the implement. “In the future, I’ll save the brush for when you really deserve the penance.”
“Okay, sir.” She seemed to be coming back to life right in front of his eyes. “Thank you, and I wanted to say thanks for pushing me because…” Her words died in her throat as her brow creased.
“Because?” Placing his hand on her shoulder, his thumb stroked her skin.
“Because underneath all the agony, you can take me somewhere I’ll never be able to go on my own.” Her green eyes blinked at him. “You help me to feel rather than just think.”
“Wow.” He’d never thought about it that way before. “Thanks for sharing with me, little girl. That’s truly something.”
“It is.” Her smile widened as she brushed her lips against his.
“What’s this?” His recently subdued cock sprung back to life at the intimate contact. “Does my little girl have more needs I should attend to?”
“I think so, sir.” Reaching her arms around his neck, she pressed her body against his. “All that ‘feeling’ has left me wet and horny.”
“Well, we can’t have that now, can we?” His tone was dry as he met her challenge. Capturing the back of her head, he pulled her down for a punishing kiss.
Chapter Fourteen
Deliverance
Ella
Ella’s head swam with passion as their mouths collided. The onslaught of his palm had been arduous enough, but the damn brush had pushed her right to the brink, and even though she’d put on a brave face for Tucker, she was perpetually grateful he’d only delivered five spanks with the implement.
She wasn’t sure she could have endured much more, especially at the intensity he’d provided the final stroke with, but as she broke their sensual connection, the remnants of that pain were all but lost. Of course, she remembered the ordeal, and she was well aware of how his spanks had liquified her sex, but this moment was all about deliverance. It was about reigniting the visceral chemistry that never went away.
Running her hands along his neck and through his hair, she breathed in the tantalizing aroma of his sandalwood-scented skin. Christ, she wanted him. She needed to feel him inside her, needed him to make her feel as though she was the center of his entire world again.
“You are frantic, aren’t you?” He didn’t try to resist her fingers as she tugged his dark hair.
Her gaze scanned his tresses, noticing where the first gray hairs highlighted his mane, but rather than perturb her, the signs of his age only turned her on. Tucker was around twenty years her elder, and when she gave herself to him, his experience showed. Cupping her breasts, she pushed them into his face and moaned as his lips nipped first one, then the other sensitive bud.
“I want you, sir.”
It wasn’t the first time she’d told him that, but as she ground her hips against his towel, she’d never been more certain about the fact. No one made her feel the way Tucker did, and staring into his blue eyes, she couldn’t imagine how anyone ever could.
He pushed her hands aside and grasped her breasts in his palms. His fingers played with her beading nipples, sparking fresh hedonism in her brain as he buried his face into her cleavage and kissed her. She was breathless at his caresses, the stubble at his face tickling her delicate flesh before he came up for air.
“Ride me, little girl.” A sexy grin spread over his face as he yanked at the towel between them to reveal his massive erection. “I want you on top.”
His command was music to her ears. She didn’t need to touch between her legs to know how ready she was for his cock. Gripping her fingers around his swollen shaft, she pressed down onto his hard length.
“Fuck.” Her eyes fell closed as he filled her, her hips bucking forward to provide the friction her hungry clitoris sought. Her pleasure was exacerbated even further when his fingers tweaked her eager buds again, rolling them between his digits and igniting her.
“I said. Ride. Me.” He snarled the words, and when she opened her eyes, she was shocked to find him right there with her.
“Yes, sir.”
