Page 17 of Claiming His Prize

“Can I show you the ring now?”

“Yes.” Allison beamed at him.

Almost reluctantly, he pulled one arm away from her to snatch the box from the plate.Allison wriggled around, so her right side was leaning into him as he popped the box open.

“It’s beautiful...” The main stone was about one carat in a brilliant-cut, with three tiny stones arrayed on either side for a total of six smaller stones.The band itself looked vintage, with lots of twists and curls, almost a tiny architectural framework connecting the bottom of the band to the top, the elaborate lattice of white gold curling around the stones. “I love it. It’s perfect.”She turned her head up and kissed him again.

Truthfully, she would have been happy with just about anything he wanted to give her and wouldn’t have complained if it had been butt ugly, but she truly loved this ring. She loved the old-fashioned look, the intricate band, the fact the stone was noticeable but not overpowering. Todd wrapped his arms around her and slid it onto her finger, and Allison found herself blinking back more tears. The ring fit perfectly, the silver color bright against her skin.

“Now,” Todd said into her ear, supporting her left hand with his, so they could both admire the ring on her finger. “I got the truffles so we could easily choose to stay here or go home.”

“Home,” she said in a husky voice. There was no way dessert could possibly hold her interest now. “Take me home.”

The entire ride home, Allison couldn’t stop looking at her ring. Not because it was beautiful, although it was, or because she was easily distracted by anything sparkly, although she was, but because of what it represented.Todd would never leave her again. The giddy feeling she got every time she looked at the ring was like an adrenaline rush.

“I’m glad you like the ring so much,” Todd said, grinning as he caught her looking at it again. “Although I hope you don’t forget to pay attention to me, too.”

She laughed. “It’s going to take some getting used to,” she said. “It’s so sparkly and distracting after all.”

“Am I going to have to tie your hands down to keep from looking at it tonight?” The amused tone of his voice said he didn’t really mind, after all, he kept looking at it as well. It was a very public marker, she belonged to him, and he liked the way it felt to see it on her finger, to know that she’d agreed to be his.

“I’d be okay with that,” she purred, snuggling against him.Deliberately, she turned her hand to the side, so she couldn’t see the course of her distraction anymore as she nuzzled his shoulder with her face.

“Did you know I was going to propose?” he asked, sounding almost like a little boy. There was a strange hint of vulnerability about him. “Or was it a total surprise?”

“Mostly a total surprise. I did notice you seemed extra… mmm… lovey lately, but nothing happened, so I thought maybe I was imagining it, or it didn’t mean anything.”

“When did you notice?”

“A couple of weeks after the housewarming party, then the past few weeks, you got all extra lovey again.”

“Ah… A couple of weeks after the house warming party was when I started planning how I was going to do it. I bought the ring a couple of weeks ago,” he said a little smugly.

“Well, I had no idea it was going to be tonight, or you were going to do it at all,” she said, smiling dreamily at him. “I didhope…”

The smug look on his face was adorable.

Anyone watching them try to walk up to the house would have been highly amused by the rushing, slowing pace as they did their best to get to the house as quickly as possible, but kept getting distracted by wandering hands and hungry kisses. Finally, Todd picked her up in his arms, one arm cradled behind her back, the other beneath her knees, and carried her the rest of the way as Allison laughed and did her best to keep her skirt from falling open.Flashing the neighborhood was a little too far, even for her exhibitionist side—especially since Todd had yet to return her underwear.

She knew he was strong but was still impressed when he carried her all the way up to the bedroom. Once they were in the house, she’d given up the fight to keep her legs and bottom covered, wrapping her arms around his neck, peppering his neck and jaw with kisses. Todd pushed through their bedroom door, finally lowering his mouth to hers as he let her legs drop. Wobbly, Allison leaned against him as they stripped each other almost frantically, the pathway to the bed littered with their clothing.

Tumbling onto the bed, Allison laughed and pushed him down, so she was on top.Rarely did Todd let her take control, but right now, he didn’t seem to mind. Hands digging into her hair, he pulled the pins out as she straddled his body.His eyes were glowing as she pressed down on top of him, the long length of his dick digging into her slit.Moving her hips back and forth, she rubbed her juices all over the underside of his cock, watching as his pupils dilated, his hands clenching in her curls. He pulled her down for a searing kiss, demonstrating, even though he was beneath her, he could still take control anytime he wanted.

Leaning into the kiss, Allison lined up the head of his large erection with her pussy, pressing down so just the tip nudged into her as their tongues swirled together.They moaned into each other’s mouths as he breached the entrance to her body.Moving her hips in a circular motion, she stirred the inner lips of her pussy with his hard-on, pressing down to occasionally take the very tip of him into her body.She teased and tantalized them both as one of Todd’s hands drifted down from her hair to begin massaging her breast, igniting her passion.

Rocking back, she took a little more of his cock, taking the entire helmet into her pussy.Lifting his hips, Todd tried to push into her tight sheathe, but she rose with him, denying him farther entrance than she’d already given him. Breaking the kiss, Todd pulled her partially upright with the hand gripping her hair, making her arch her back as his hand tightened on her breast.

“You’d better figure out what you’re doing,” he growled, his fingertips pinching her swollen nipple and making her gasp with delight.

“I just want to pleasure you,” she said, lowering her head to his chest. He allowed the movement, though he didn’t loosen his grip on her hair, and to be completely honest, she didn’t want him to—it made her feel wonderfully submissive. “Please let me pleasure you.” Another sharp pinch to her nipple had her writhing.

“Then pleasure me, Princess,” his voice was low, filled with dark erotic promise. “But don’t take too long.”

The threat made her moan as she sucked his nipple hard into her mouth, nibbling on the small bud.He lifted his hips again, and this time, when she didn’t impale herself, he didn’t chastise her.Taking that as permission, Allison began to tease his nipples, rubbing her pussy all over the tip of his dick. It was exquisite torture, straining their nerves.His dick felt as if it would explode at any moment if he didn’t get it inside her, yet he wanted to indulge her and was curious what she would do next.

After a few more torturous minutes, lavishing oral attention on his nipples, Allison sat back, her breasts bobbing slightly on her chest as she pressed down. They gasped with need and pleasure as the first few inches of his dick slid into her.Clenching her pussy, she enjoyed the feeling of him stretching out her tight hole. Still clenching hard, she pulled up and off again, teasing the tip of his dick with her wetness.Todd groaned, letting go of her hair, so she could do what she wanted—for now. Filling his hands with her luscious breasts, he squeezed them encouragingly as she moved on top of him.The snug tightness partially encasing his shaft was driving him crazy, and his balls ached with the need to bury himself in her wet tunnel.
