Is she serious?

I take a step forward, and she steps back.“Have you not been listening to a word I’ve said?”I want to scream at her, but continue in a firm, controlled voice instead.“You are mine.I’m not changing my mind.I claimed you.That makes you my ol’ lady.You know what that means, Sadie.I’m fucking serious.I’m not giving you up.It’s you and me, Sapphire.”

Another lone tear tracks down her cheek.Seeing her like this, so vulnerable and scared, is killing me.“When you told me to leave, you hurt me, Nathaniel.No one else has that kind of power over me.You can’t do it again.You can’t abandon me too.Not you.”

Matteo’s words from our earlier conversation come strolling back to my mind.“A man can claim anything to be his, but if he claims a woman, but doesn’t truly possess her heart, his words mean shit.”

I move closer, wiping her tears with my hand.Cupping her chin, I force her eyes to meet mine.“I’m so sorry, baby.I was angry, but it won’t happen again.If you give yourself to me, all of you, I’ll never push you away like that again.You have my word as a King.”I kiss her forehead, then her right cheek and her left.“I’m going to ask you one more time.Will you let me have all of you?Will trust me with your heart again?”When my lips brush hers, she closes her eyes and nods ever so slightly.“Good girl.Now, let me apologize properly.”

I take her hand, leading her to the bed, taking my time to strip her out of her clothes.I run my hands over her breasts, slowly, methodically, circling, kneading.Sadie’s eyes close and I smile to myself.

Moving my hands over her shoulders, I squeeze and rub my way down her arms, watching as the tension leaves her body.One hand moves up around her neck, gripping her tight as my lips kiss the soft place behind her ear.With my tongue, I lick my way across her jaw.Her mouth falls open, and I take the offering before me, plunging my tongue into her mouth.With my hand in her hair, I tilt her head, deepening the kiss.A growl of satisfaction rumbles out of me when she bites my tongue.

“Brat,” I grumble.Sadie smiles, and my heart flips in my chest.

There’s my girl.

Her hands rest on my chest, making their way to the hem of my shirt, rolling it up and over my abdomen.I lift my arms and allow her to strip it away, tossing it to the floor behind me.Her hands roam over every inch of my chest, up my neck, and then she’s pulling my mouth down to meet hers.I let her kiss me, her tongue dueling with mine.She wants control, or at least that’s what she wants me to think.But I know what sheneeds.

Gripping her hair tightly, I pull her mouth away from mine, shaking my head.“You know you’re not in charge here, baby.”Her eyes narrow.The fire and defiance I love flaring to life.“Climb up on the bed.All the way to the headboard and lay down.I want your legs spread open for me.Let me see that pretty little cunt dripping for me.”

She looks like she’s about to argue, so I press my forehead to hers and whisper, “Stop fighting me, baby.Trust me to take care of you.Let me give you what you need.What we both need, Sapphire.”

Sadie sighs, then pulls out of my hold, crawling up to the center of the bed, giving me a glorious view of her ass.She turns, laying down as instructed.Her cheeks are flushed.She’s so fucking gorgeous.

I climb up on the bed, laying between her spread legs.Running the tips of two fingers through her wetness, swirling it around her clit and back down.Sadie’s breath stutters.My cock aches, but he can wait.

Sadie opens her legs wider, offering herself to me as she moans deep in the back of her throat.She’s soft and swollen, dripping wet for me.I can’t wait anymore.I bury my face between her legs and feast on her pussy.

Her hips gyrate against my face as she chases her release.I fuck her with my tongue, changing my pace from fast to slow, and back again.

“Please,” Sadie begs, her hips bucking.When her hands reach my head, she grips my hair hard.I latch onto her clit and suck, watching in amazement as she cries out my name in pleasure.

Climbing off the bed, I slide off my sweats and fist my cock, giving it a few strokes.Sadie’s eyes widen and follow the movement of my hand.She licks her lips, and I smile.

“Not this time, Sapphire.”She glares.I climb on the bed, settling my knees between her legs.Sadie leans up on her elbows, watching as I line up my cock with her entrance.“You ready for me, baby?”

“Please, Nathaniel.I need to feel you inside me.Show me this is real.That you meant what you said.Make me yours,” she pleads.

I hoist her ass up in my hands and, in one deep stroke, I bury myself to the hilt.Sadie gasps.I groan.

Christ, she feels fucking amazing.Like coming home.

I pull out and drive back in, my pace hard and fast.The room fills with the sounds of her wetness and my thighs hitting the back of her as I lift her ass, giving me a deeper angle.I lean forward, bracing myself with hands on either side of her face.A light sheen of sweat coats her brow.Her eyes meet mine.Leaning in, I take her mouth with mine, kissing her.Claiming her.Punishing her.

“I love you, Sapphire,” I tell her honestly.Tears fall down her cheeks as she closes her eyes, hiding herself from me.

This won’t do.

I slow my pace and grip her chin with my hand.

“Look at me.”She opens her eyes.Beautiful sapphire blues staring back at me.“Why are you crying?Am I hurting you?”

“No.”she whispers, shaking her head.

“Then what is it, Sapphire?What’s wrong?”Panic wells up inside me at the thought she might have regrets.She wasn’t ready, and I pushed her to accept us anyway.To give herself to me.Just as I begin to think the worst, Sadie’s hand rests against my cheek.I lean in, closing my eyes at the warmth of her touch.

“I love you too, Nathaniel.”I open my eyes, inhaling deeply at her admission.Watching as a soft, sweet smile spreads across her face.One that matches my own.“Now, will you please fuck me?I think I’ve waited long enough to truly be yours.”
