Page 47 of The Payment

“Oh God,” she sighed as his fingers slid into her, driving her higher and higher.Gripping the sheets, her body arched into his touch as her moans filled the room.With his hands firmly on her hips, he controlled her movements.His touch and tongue brought her body alive, but it was the emotional connection that truly overwhelmed her.Each wave of pleasure was intertwined with deeper healing, washing away months of anger and pain.

Ignoring her pleas, he was relentless in feasting on her until she shattered, crying out his name as she rode the wave of pleasure.Tatiana shivered at the significance of this moment when he moved up her body, and his weight settled between her thighs.

“I missed this,” she whimpered as he pinned her wrists above her head.It wasn’t just the physical act of submission but the freedom it brought.With him, she didn’t have to be strong.Didn’t have to maintain the walls she had built to survive.

“Look at me,” he commanded in a voice hoarse with desire as he gripped her hip, teasing her entrance with the blunt tip of his cock.

Opening her eyes, she met his gaze and saw everything they had been through reflected there.The love she believed they had before betrayal had torn them apart, and now, this moment of reconnection that transcended both.He pushed into her slowly, filling her completely.Their shared gasp sounded like a prayer in the quiet room.He started to move, slow, deep thrusts that stoked the fire within her again.

“More.I need more,” she demanded as she wrapped her legs around him, urging him deeper as her body yielded to his dominance.

“You feel so good,” he groaned as he pressed his face into the nape of her neck and ground his hips against her while he pumped into her with long strokes.She sighed as she felt him slide against her silky walls.

Their lovemaking was intense, raw, and emotional.Each thrust, each kiss, each touch was a claim, a promise, a testament to their journey.Tatiana pushed back, submerged in waves of euphoria that rocked her into surrender.

“This is how we’re meant to be.Your submission is a gift I never thought I’d treasure as much as this.Let go, love.Give it all to me,” he whispered the command against her skin.

The warm kisses on her eyelids and circled caresses traced on her arms soothed the torment and swept the cold surge of fear that she was falling too fast to the back of her mind, drowning all her doubts as he firmly embedded his very essence inside her heart.It wasn’t just words of possession.To her, in that moment, they were anchors, grounding her in this moment of profound vulnerability.

“You’re mine, Tatiana.You’ll always be mine.”

She knew now that fighting this truth had been futile.She belonged with him, to him, in a way that defied logic and transcended betrayal.

Tears streamed down her face, but not of sorrow or anger.They were tears of recognition, of coming home, of finally accepting what her heart had never stopped knowing.

“Yes,” she breathed, the word a promise of tomorrow.“Yours.Always yours.”

When he released her wrists to cup her cheek, the last pieces of her heart clicked back into place.

“Now, my lovely wife.Come for me,” he whispered as they swayed to the rhythmic sounds of each other’s deep murmurs of sweet passion.His mouth lashed the roundness of her shoulders with long, deep kisses, dosing her with ragged breaths as she gasped for air.

The powerful undertow finally struck in a confluence of physical and emotional currents that sucked her under.It ripped away her balance and pulled her gasping up the face of a towering rogue wave?lifting her up, then crushing her beneath its weight.

“Jarek, it’s too much.I can’t!It’s...fuck.”

Her plea turned into a scream as her body tightened, and she squirted with warm liquid gushing from her loins.Her hips jerked as she clawed at the sheets in a desperate attempt to draw a breath.Jarek pushed relentlessly into her, fueling her orgasms, triggering one after the other to stagger through her body.

Tatiana was helpless against the paroxysms that rocked her.Long waves of ecstasy rolled over her as she fought to catch her breath.She surrendered, splayed open to his control as she twitched and shuddered in submission to his control.

“Now, let’s fly together, love.”Jarek thrust deeper, plunging himself into her until her hoarse cries washed over them in tumultuous waves of ecstasy, yanking him along as they finally drowned in the demand of a mutual climax.

Later, as moonlight painted silver paths across their entwined forms, Tatiana felt the shift in her soul.The hatred that had driven them apart hadn’t simply disappeared—it had transformed into understanding.She understood now that love wasn’t about perfection.It was about finding someone whose broken pieces fit with yours, someone who could hold both your light and your darkness.

In his dominance, she had found her strength again, her anchor in a world that had stopped making sense.In her submission, he had found his purpose renewed, his control tempered by the knowledge of what it meant to lose her.

“We can’t change the past,” Jarek murmured against her hair as his arms tightened around her.

“You’re right.We can’t erase what had happened, nor can we undo the choices that had led us here.”Her words echoed softly back at her.It was all true, but they could choose this moment, and the next, and all the moments that would follow.“Maybe one day, we can choose to build something new from the ashes of what we lost along the way.”

In the quiet darkness, wrapped in his arms, Tatiana finally allowed herself to feel the full depth of her love for him—not the naive love of before, but something deeper, stronger, tested by fire and emerged unbroken.

This was their truth now.Sometimes, the greatest love stories weren’t about never falling apart but about how they found their way back together.
