I didn’t breathe while I waited for her response, not knowing how I would accept it if she said yes.

“No. Never. Even when you’re doing crazy shit like throwing me in your trunk and locking me in your house.” She scoffed. “It’s actually ridiculous that I’m not afraid of you.”

I grinned. “That’s because you know me. You know this.”

I put her hand over my heart, just like I did that night on the beach all those years ago. “That this belongs to you.”

She pressed her lips tight against an emotion I couldn’t name.

I stood and set her down on the chair, kneeling before her. I kissed her right knee, then her left, watching her face heat and her fingers twist in the hem of her skirt.

“I remember,” she said on a breath.

“You remember your promise to me?”

“To be yours.” She gasped as I set my hands on her calves, running them up to the bends in her knees, higher along her thighs.

“That’s right.”

“Will you be able to keep that promise, Anna?”

Her green gaze searched mine, making one last search for something inside of me she couldn’t find. She wouldn’t, because that monster would never turn its sights on her.

Her lips quirked up on one edge and something in her eyes softened.

“I think I might.”

I gripped the edge of her tight t-shirt and pulled upward. Obediently, she raised her arms so I could tug it off and see her pink lace bra. The one I bought her.

“You wore the clothes I picked out for you,” I said with satisfaction.

“You picked these out yourself?” Her eyes widened. “I assumed you got a personal shopper or something.”

I shook my head. “You’re mine. I wouldn’t let anyone else decide what touches your body. That’s my job.”

I kneaded her breasts through the delicate lace. Her nipples stiffened under my hands and her back arched, then she was leaning into my touch. She was so perfectly responsive. I lowered my head to suck on a nipple through the fabric, and she moaned sweetly.

“These are mine.”

“Yes, Carter.” Anna’s eyes fell closed and she threw her head back in pleasure.

I lowered my hands to her knees and crawled them slowly under the hem of her skirt. Anna fell back into the chair with a moan. I took my time teasing her inner thighs, then groaned when I touched her wet cunt. I set my mouth against her chest.

“Bad girl,” I said against her skin. “Not wearing panties. What if you weren’t thinking, and you bent over? Anyone could have seen your bare little cunt.”

I pressed harder against her pussy and felt warm wetness drip down my fingertips as her thighs started to clench.

“Fuck, I can’t wait to get inside you.”

I shoved my fingers fully inside her and felt her walls spasm around me.

“Wait,” She said abruptly. “I never refilled my birth control. I…I didn’t even think about it with everything?—”

All the blood in my body went right to my cock and she seemed to catch on to exactly where my thoughts went, her breath hitching.

“Does that mean I could get you pregnant?”

“If we don’t use protection.”
