With dazed eyes, she looks up at me, but it’s her smile of satisfaction that stops my heart. “I missed you.”

Her words are so sweet that it tugs at my heartstrings. “I missed you too, Princess. But I was gone two hours.”

“And I wasn’t flirting.”

Pulling her up from the couch, more popcorn rains down onto our feet. My hands find her ass cheeks and give them a hard squeeze.

“When can we go back to Limit-X?”

What? “Never.”

Her bottom lip pops out. “You lost the Labor Day bet.”

“We can renegotiate.”

Penny looks up at me and bats her eyelashes. Then she sticks that damn tongue out.

It doesn’t make me see red. It makes me see green.

“Uh-oh,” she says, backing out of my hold.

“I hope you run,” I say smoothly.

And she does, taking off down the hall.

I kick my jeans and boxer briefs off and stalk after her with the thrill of the chase racing through my veins.

My cock comes to life.

What is this girl doing to me?

Looping my arm around Penny’s stomach, I flatten her up against the wall, while my cock presses into her ass.

Breathing into her ear, I whisper, “There’s not a place on this planet you can hide where I wouldn’t find you, Princess.You are mine.”

“Let me go, you brute.”

“Tsk-tsk… That’s no way to talk to your deliverer of pain and pleasure. At least be strategic.”

It’s this game we play, which walks on the fine line of going too far and not going far enough.

We both crave the excitement of being together.

Spinning Penny around, I grind my cock against her body, and then within seconds, I get all of our clothes off and puddling at our feet.

“There. Much better,” I croon.

A hand traces up her leg from knee to hip.

“Don’t touch me.”

Lies.

It’s all part of this dance we do, where Penny doesn’t act like she wants me to have this control over her, and I help break through her perfectly erected walls.

And maybe, just maybe, over the course of the days we’ve spent together thus far, I became her safe way to psychologically flood out her demons. I’ve proven to her that she can have a fulfilling sex life with a man who will guide her passion and rein in her rebellious streak.

Effortlessly, I lift Penny into the air, while her legs wrap around my waist.
