Love.
She broke the connection of their lips. She was wrong. There was still one more thing left to say.
Blake scowled at her retreat, clearly not finished. He started to pull her face back to his, but she resisted. “Chloe?”
“I love you.”
His smile grew so wide, Chloe couldn’t help but return it. “Say it again.”
She lifted one eyebrow. “I think I’d be smart to use those words sparingly at first.”
Blake laughed, shifting her until the head of his cock rested at the opening of her body. “I’ll make it worth your while.”
She glanced down, intent on taking her prize, with or without his permission. She started to slide down, but Blake’s grip on her waist tightened, holding her in place. Dammit. She kept forgetting how strong he was.
When her gaze met his again, she saw something almost like sorrow in his eyes. “Blake?”
“I’m going to be greedy for a while, Chloe. I can’t help it. I want too much from you.”
She understood the sentiment. She shared it. “We’ll be gluttons together. I love you. I love you so much it hurts. And if you ever try to leave me again, I will hunt you down to the end of the earth and I’ll?—”
Blake cut off her threat with a kiss. “Never gonna happen, but you know…there are laws against threatening a police officer.”
She returned his kiss with interest, nipping his lower lip. “Oh yeah? Handcuff-worthy laws?”
Blake chuckled. “Definitely.”
He loosened his grip on her waist, using his hands to guide her, drawing her body down onto his cock. Both of them gasped once he was fully seated. Her position on top left her wide open and able to take him deeper. It still didn’t feel like enough.
She lifted up a few inches then slid back down slowly, savoring Blake’s pained expression, his quick intake of air.
He gave her a warning look. “Are you really sure you want to play the control game, Chloe?”
She recognized the threat. She’d been trying to force his hand ever since they’d walked into the apartment, daring him to take charge.
Regardless of the danger, it was a challenge she couldn’t refuse. After so many years apart, she felt the need to test him, to see if he was still the dominant lover she remembered. Craved.
However, she needed him to understand that she had changed. While she still wanted to submit to him, she wasn’t the weak, inexperienced little girl he’d taken all those years ago. She wouldn’t bend to his will easily. She intended to make him work for it.
Chloe rose once more, returning even slower, taking the time to tighten her inner muscles. Blake felt it. The stiffness of his posture told her that while he may appreciate her efforts, he was determined to come out on top.
She repeated her seductive slide a third time, adding her breasts to the game as she leaned forward, rubbing them against his face.
Blake’s tenuous grip on control slipped a bit as his hands found her ass, his fingers digging into the flesh there. She expected him to try to seize power. After all, it was clear he needed her to move faster, harder. She wanted that too.
Unfortunately, the damn man was too astute. She should have known better than to play with a cop and his instincts. His grip on her ass loosened, though he didn’t move them away. Instead, he reached farther around her, his fingers slipping into the crease.
She gasped when he parted the twin globes, dragging one finger lower.
Their sexual experiences ten years earlier had been cut short. Chloe had always wished there had been more time for them to explore their kinkier desires. Now, at last, there was.
“Who’s in charge, Chloe?” His voice was deep, dark, tinged with a hint of menace.
She wasn’t afraid. She smiled and continued her painfully slow glide up and down his cock. “I’m not sure.”
He leaned closer, his teeth capturing one of her nipples. She gasped when he started to press down. She felt Blake’s gaze on her face. One of the reasons she felt safe exploring these games with him was because she knew he would never let it go too far. He read her face, protected her…even from herself. Her hands tightened on his shoulders and he released her.
“Do you want to reconsider your answer?”
