She shook her head, “Never again. Ever.”
“Good.”
Then he positioned himself at her entrance and slammed home.
She dropped to her elbows and then to her forearms on the bed.
He grabbed her hips in a tight hold, fucking into her, letting her know who was in charge here.
She started grasping at the sheets and moving her hips back and forth for more friction and he smacked her butt again, making her cry out.
“You will get your orgasm when I say.”
Then he moved his hips faster, getting deep inside her and feeling her start to clench on him with each hard thrust.
He was pounding in and out of her, and he reached around, plucking at her clit softly, rubbing it in circles until she was rocking against him hard.
He pulled her hips a little higher, and with the angle change, her moans turned to cries of his name and within seconds, she was coming, her sheath tightening around him so much that it almost hurt.
He kept thrusting, a few more times until he buried himself deep and came inside her.
She was panting on the bed and he pulled out of her, and gathered her in his arms.
“Did I hurt you? Was I too rough?”
She shook her head, still panting, “You didn’t hurt me, though I probably won’t be walking anywhere for a bit.”
He laughed a little and then leaned down and kissed her, “I just got so crazy seeing that man talk to you like that. Threaten you. It scared me and I hate that you had to go through it. With the bank, and that.”
She kissed his chest, “Steele, none of that was in your control. I can’t be kept in a tower and not live my life. And today was a freak thing. No one could have known that man was going to act out like that. I promise. I don’t ever look for trouble. Again, I’m normally shy, remember?”
He gave a stilted laugh, “I remember. Okay. But never again. My heart can’t take it. You are the most important person in my whole world. I can’t lose you. Not now, not ever.”
“You will never lose me. I am all yours. Only yours.”
He let out a breath of relief and he leaned over, getting something out of his jeans.
It was a little white box. She looked up at him with wide eyes and put her hand to her mouth. “Is that what I think that is?”
He grinned and flicked the box open, “Yep.”
Inside the box was a gorgeous diamond ring.
It had a large oval cut diamond in the center and three marquis cut diamonds spread out in a little cluster on the side. Almost like little leaves on the outside of a flower. The band was rose gold.
He had picked it out this morning and knew it was the ring for her.
He put it on her finger and looked in her eyes, “Bombshell, I thought life was just something you live and get through. I didn’t know that it could be this beautiful, magical and perfect. And it’s only because of you that I finally see that my life is only that vibrant because of you. You have given me everything I have always wanted. And I want nothing more than to experience everything with you by my side. I love you. Every single thing about you. I loved you before I met you. I have been waiting for you all my life. I love you deeply, madly. Marry me. Let me love you, protect you and take care of you for the rest of our lives.”
She nodded, “Yes, yes!!! I will marry you!!!”
He laughed, and kissed her, and claimed her again.
When they came up for air, she held up her hand and looked at her ring, “I love it. It’s so beautiful.”
He kissed her finger, “I saw it and immediately thought of you.”
“Well I love it. Thank you.”
He held her in his arms and slept, excited for the next step in their life.
