He waited until my orgasm had mostly died down, and I was trembling in the aftershocks, before he started pounding into me, his thrusts relentless and ruthless, slamming him balls deep each and every time.

He didn’t hold back, taking me like we were animals in heat, like at any moment someone else might come along and try to take me from him. I felt completely owned, possessed even, but I didn’t mind. I didn’t mind at all. I wanted this part of him. Craved it. To belong so completely to Vaughn, but also to be so desired that he’d fight anyone who came after me—it made me feel sexy and powerful in a way I hadn’t expected, or ever experienced before.

“That’s it,” Vaughn encouraged, his own breath coming out in sharp pants. “You can come as much as you want, now. You were so good, letting me edge you for hours. That’s it, sweetheart, take whatever you want.”

As if I could do anything else. I was tied down and helpless, unable to do anything but accept what he forced me to take. Vaughn fucked me until the bed was thumping and rattling, until I was sure I’d scared off the birds or any other forest creatures with my screaming as a series of tiny orgasms, one after the other, kept my body shaking in the throes of such intense, inescapable pleasure.

A deep, dark, possessive growl rumbled in Vaughn’s throat as he came inside of me moments later, his big body jerking erratically as he spilled himself inside the condom, until eventually he slowed and pulled out of me.

Vaughn slumped next to me, stroking my hair, a pleased look on his gorgeous face. “Look at you. You needed that so badly, didn’t you?”

I nodded, gasping, my toes still curled and my legs still shaking. “Yes.”

“Here.” Vaughn undid my wrists and rubbed them to reinvigorate my circulation. “You were so fucking hot like that, Claire. I wanted to come the goddamn instant I got my dick inside of you.”

I could feel my face heating up. “Thank you.”

“I know giving up all that control to me wasn’t easy for you, was it? A stubborn thing like you.” He leaned down and kissed me softly, so softly that I was almost surprised that he was capable of being this sweet and gentle. “But you did it. I’m so proud of you. You’re fucking perfect.”

My face got even warmer, but Vaughn kissed me again, over and over, chasing away my embarrassment. Instead, I felt… pleased with myself, in a way. I was a stubborn thing, like he said. But I had found a way to give in to Vaughn how I wanted, without also giving up my independence and my pride.

We’d found a happy medium. And that was saying something for the two of us.

CHAPTER14

Vaughn

I’d known that Claire was going to be sexy, that I was going to enjoy doing this to her, but I hadn’t expected it to be this mind-blowingly hot. It took every last shred of self-control that I had not to fuck her a million times over last night.

Going into the bathroom and stroking my cock, I came embarrassingly fast, but what I really wanted was her tight, wet heat wrapped around my dick. I wanted to be inside of her, more than I wanted anything, but I was waiting for her to figure out our dynamic, and accept my dominance, and she finallydid.

I was in control of her pleasure. She came when I wanted her to, and not a moment sooner or later than that. Once she understood my rules, I could really make her my submissive. She understood how this worked, now. And I had the feeling she wasn’t going to try and really disobey me again. At least not until the next time she got a little wild and wanted a punishment. She was the kind of submissive who liked to be a brat sometimes . . . and I couldn’t deny I enjoyed the challenge that defiant behavior gave me.

But I wanted to make it clear to her that even though I’d ‘broken’ her sexually, I didn’t want her to change in any other way. I liked that fire and sass in her. I didn’t want it snuffed out.

I kissed her until she was loose and relaxed, then finally pulled back. “Breakfast?” I asked.

She nodded. “That sounds good.”

I kissed Claire on the forehead and got up to make her something to eat after pulling on a pair of sweatpants. I was starving and I was sure she was too, so I busted out the eggs, peppers, ham, bacon, and all the rest to make a hell of an omelet. I could feel her watching me from the bed, and after a long period of silence she spoke.

“Is it always like that?” she asked softly.

I flipped the omelets over in the pan and glanced her way. I loved the way she looked, with her skin still flushed from the orgasms I’d given her, her hair disheveled seductively, and her body still bare with the covers wrapped around it. “Like what?”

“Like you’re having an out of body experience.” Her eyes were soft with curiosity.

“With a really intense orgasm, yeah, it can often feel like that,” I said, enjoying the fact that I’d given her something she’d never had before, which made me feel more than a little possessive of her—like she reallywasmine and I didn’t want to share her at any point, which was a new feeling for me. “But I really pushed you, and the edging makes things more heightened, too.”

Claire curled her arms over her pillow, her brow furrowed as if she was thinking something over. “I… want to see what it’s like when it’s not you punishing me.”

She wanted me to dom her again, but this time with her being a good girl from the start, so it wasn’t such a battle of wills. “I can do that.”

Hell, I’dloveto show her how pleasurable it could be to completely surrender all that control and give it over to me, without being so obstinate. It was a reward as sweet as honey in my mouth, knowing I’d finally earned her trust and submission. I felt on top of the world.

“You needed that dominance, too,” Claire noted, and she wasn’t wrong. “Or you still need it. I don’t think I gave you everything you needed that last time.”

“The dynamic of a sub/dom scene always gives something to both people,” I explained as I grabbed two plates from the cupboard. “It’s not just about me dominating you because it’s what you want. And it’s not just about you submitting to me because it’s what I want. We both get something out of it.”
