No manches. I let go and sat back.

I opened my mouth and closed it. Then one more time. “What?”

Gray took great gulping breaths until his breathing slowed almost to normal. “You didn’t need me, Angel. I wasn’t doing you any good and all we were doing was fighting.”

“We were not.” Except we were. I’d fought him on everything, pressing every button of his I could. Of course, he pushed back.

Gray tried to sit up, but only managed to yank on the silk ties. “You were on the verge of transforming yourself into everything you ever wanted to be.”

I had been trying for a long time to feel like my own woman, yet, at the same time, I wanted to belong to someone. Gray. “Yeah, but only because of you.”

He shook his head. “No. Don’t believe that for a second.”

Ow. His words pinched at my skin. I couldn’t look at him. Did he truly not understand? There was so much between us, too much of it left unsaid. “Of course I believe it. You were the reason for it all.”

“With or without me you would have made it here on your own.” He sounded angry... or was it resentful?

Did he feel bitter that I came down here without him? Yeah, he did. Duh. I wouldn’t let that acid stand in my way or in the way of our relationship. I couldn’t control his feelings, but I could be sure to express mine. No more hiding from each other.

Ever again.

I crawled up the bed and sat next to him. I touched his face stroking over those worry lines that had grown around his eyes and between his brows. He turned away, I couldn’t let him. I put a palm on either cheek and turned his face back to me. “I didn’t want to without you. I never would have wanted any of this or wouldn’t have known I wanted it if it weren’t for you, Gray. You opened the world for me.”

Sadness flicked across his eyes. “I’m not good for you, my love.”

“Don’t say that.” I pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. My heart fell to pieces to hear him talk that way.

He kissed me back, softly, not taking, but lingering. Then he broke away. “Whenever I’m involved, I bring you down. When you go out and try things on your own, you become... Angel.”

All right. Enough was enough. Now he was making me mad. I straddled his waist, sitting inches above his still hard cock. Sexy times would come later. Right now, while I still had him tied up and at my mercy he would get the full monty of my Dominatrix persuasion.

I shook my finger at him. “Who do you think has been on my mind the whole time you were pretending to be some anonymous Dom?”

He narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “I assumed you were thinking of your training, the sacrifices.”

I flipped up the back of my skirt and wriggled my bare ass against his cock and was rewarded when his eyes rolled back in his head. “Wrong answer. Try again.”

He swallowed. “Your puppies?”

I scooted back and held his cock between my thighs. “Nope. Not even close.”

He raised an eyebrow and glared at me, but with eyes so dilated they sparkled like supernovas in the sky. “Your anonymous Dom and how to please him.”

He said that so definitively I had no doubt that was the answer he believed. I’d just have to help him unbelieve it. I spread my legs, reached between our bodies and guided him to my wet pussy.

“You, Grayson Baker, you dumbass.” I sank down onto him, taking his body into mine. For a full minute I didn’t move, only closed my eyes and let my head fall back, reveling in the exquisite fullness of having him inside of me.

He would never leave me again. He was mine forever.

Mine.

And I was his.
