She tries. My god she tries, but the grip that I have in her hair is too tight. She can’t make it. Her tongue strains for the tip, her hands on the back of my thighs attempting to pull me closer to her so that she can have what she wants. I think her little sounds of frustration are what do me in - I relent and I swear I feel the back of her throat in one go.

Nirvana. Bliss. Absolute utter perfection.

My head falls back and the grip that I have on her hair slackens just a little as my mind stutters. Something that Kate capitalizes on as my groan of pleasure fills the small room. Her tongue swirls around the bottom of my cock, licking as far up the shaft as she can reach and I lose it.

In one movement I have her lifted into my arms and up against the shower wall. She wraps her legs around my hips, my cock just underneath her dripping pussy.

She nods softly as she makes eye contact and I sink into her in one solid thrust as her lips find mine.

It’s not nearly as drawn out as I would like for it to be. I have had so many nights to plan how this will go in my head. All of the things that I want to do to her, but I underestimated just how fucking incredible she was going to feel wrapped around me. All rational thought slips right from my head. I’m no longer cognizant as we move together, her mounting sounds of pleasure growing between us, barely covered by the strong spray of water from the shower head.

Hard, fast, and nearly desperate with need as I fill her. It’s like her body was made to take mine. She meets my thrusts as best as she can, grinding her hips into mine as I lose myself. My hand drops between our bodies, wedged between so I can play with her clit in circles far slower than the unrelenting pace that my hips have set. I don’t think that I could slow down if I wanted to. I feel crazed as I kiss her, swallowing every moan of pleasure that leaves her lips into my own.

“Nikolai, I’m going to - I’m -” Kate pants as her head falls back against the shower wall. I kiss down the exposed column of her slender neck, biting the skin softly without stopping or shifting the pace.

“Do it. I want to feel you cum on my dick, cum for me baby girl.” I growl into her skin.

The moment the words leave my lips, she comes undone exactly as I ordered her to. Her walls clench me so fucking tightly its almost painful. I don’t mean to cum with her - but she milks me for everything that I have. Helpless and totally under her control, and she doesn’t even realize it yet.

I don’t know how long we stand there after. The water has shifted from warm and soothing to luke warm, bordering on tepid before I carry her out of the shower and wrap her in a towel. Just enough to dry her off - I’m nowhere near done with her yet tonight.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

KATE

The next day

I don’t know why I didn’t expect to wake up alone.

For whatever reason, I got used to Nikolai’s large frame sleeping half under me far too easily. It was like he was just supposed to be there in my bed. Waking up to a cold spot makes me feel… bereft. Grumpy about it, if I’m perfectly honest. I know it makes sense. I just wanted to maybe have a conversation before he left? There was a lot that we didn’t get to cover before the night was over. We didn’t make any promises and I have no reason to think that it wasn’t just another form of him saying goodbye to me -- and yet.

Maybe he left to handle the body on the lawn.

Billy’s body on the lawn!

I sit bolt upright as adrenaline lances through my chest. Billy. My god, how could I have forgotten?! How can something like that slip my mind!? I rush out of bed, grabbing the first clothes that I can find and forcing myself to ignore the muscle soreness that lingers in just about every part of my body. I’m sore in places that I didn’t think could be sore. Then again, during the second and third rounds last night Nikolai had put me in positions that I didn’t even know my petite frame could bend into.

It feels almost like a dream.

I pull on a satin tank top and shorts, then pull on my robe before leaving my bedroom door - only to stop short. There’s a note in what must be Nikolai’s handwriting.

“See you tonight. Promise.”

Just like that - the tension melts out of my shoulders. If Billy had been out there when he left, Nikolai would have handled it. That, or Horus would be knocking like crazy right now. I don’t know what I was thinking. I hold the paper in my hand for a long moment before placing it in my top dresser drawer. Is it foolish to keep it? Maybe. I don’t care if it is. It’s the only proof that I have that he promised to come back. If a conversation needs to be had between the pair of us - then we can have it.

Disappointed he left, but hopeful for tonight.

I’ll take it.

I slip my feet into large fluffy socks and head into the hallway. It’s early enough that Liz is still asleep. That will give me time to get a cup of tea or two to myself before spending the day with her. I’ve taken a handful of days off following the biggest case of the year for me - I deserve to have some one-on-one girl time with my daughter. Whatever she wants to do, I’m determined to do.

I put the kettle on to boil and start to pile my hair up on my head when there’s a knock at the door.

It doesn’t matter that it’s a polite, kind knock - it still spikes my anxiety after last night.

I pull my robe tightly around myself for some semblance of security as I head for the front door. This time I grab my pepper spray from the table where I keep my keys and answer the door full of caution.

Horus.
