Chapter 29

The shockat Josie’s announcement of who her father was jolted me, and what she was planning had me reeling. Never in a million years would I have guessed she was the daughter of the man who was, in essence, a mobster. The thought of her being hurt terrified me. I would do anything to protect her.

“Tell me what your plan is to bring down your father.”

I held her hand as we walked into the living room. This time, I sat on the couch and pulled her down onto my lap. Domme or not, there were moments when she needed comfort. As her sub, it was my responsibility to provide her with it.

Once she was comfortable, she began to speak. “I’ve been monitoring my father’s business dealings for years. I’ve been gathering intel on his business associates, their business associates, his financials, profits, losses, where he’s spending money. He’s into money laundering, drugs, guns, everything. I have access to his security cameras both at home and at his company. Until recently, he had no idea. But since I couldn’t stop myself from confronting him, he’s tried multiple security measures to keep me out.

“Thankfully, my skills are better than whoever he’s employing. Unfortunately, now that he knows I’m watching, he’s stopped communicating with Korol'. At least by email. And no longer at home or in his office. If he’s still moving forward with the auction that was mentioned, the details are being worked out where I don’t have access and no longer on his email servers, which is my fault since I confronted him before learning anything else. So, I have no idea when it’s happening, if it hasn’t already. My plan is to go to the FBI.”

“You know Connor has contacts in the FBI. As does Donovan Jeffries. Have you spoken to either of them about this?”

She sent me a sheepish look. “No, because I knew Connor would have a shit fit. I have no control over him, unlike you. Also, my trust is only given to a select few people. Even with Connor’s friendship with him, I don’t know or trust Donovan well enough to ask for that kind of favor. I know I’m going to have to talk to Connor soon though.”

While I should have been offended when she said she had control over me, I knew she was correct. She was my Domme, and although we hadn’t specifically put any boundaries on our relationship, she had more control than I did at the moment. I was still finding my way.

“Well, as much as I don’t agree with what you’re doing, I will support you in any way I can.”

Her body snuggled close to mine as she wrapped her arms around my neck and laid her cheek against mine.

“Thank you, Miles. You standing beside me means everything to me. Other than Connor and Bryce, no one has truly cared about me in a really long time.”

I continued to hold her all the while wanting to tell her I loved her, but the words remained locked in my throat. It wasn’t that I didn’t love her. The words just wouldn’t budge. I hugged her tighter to me, hoping she felt the words in my embrace. My submission was the only way I could express what I was feeling.

“Mistress, if it pleases you, I’d like to take you to bed.” I prayed Josie heard the unspoken words behind my plea.

She pulled slightly away from me, her eyes studying mine. Our gazes locked, and I refused to look away. There must have been something in my expression, because she softly smiled as though she knew what I was trying to tell her.

“It pleases me more than you know, Miles. Come, let’s go to bed.”

She led me to the bedroom. Once the door was closed, I turned to her. We didn’t speak, but then, no words were needed between us. Neither of us wanted to break the spell we were under. She stood before me, gloriously naked. I would never get tired of looking at her beauty.

Josie crawled onto the bed and crooked her finger at me. I hastily removed my boxer briefs and was soon joining her.

“Love me, Miles.” There was no mistaking exactly what she meant by that. I did love her and even though the words clogged my throat, they weren’t any less true.

With a soft gentleness, I kissed her eyelids, then her nose, her mouth, and neck. I tried to hit all her erogenous zones as I made my way south. Her pebbled nipples puckered and begged for attention. I nibbled the first one, then the other, all the while her hands on my head guided me farther downward to the place I knew she needed my touch the most. My tongued danced and teased her belly button before dipping in for a quick tease.

My trek continued as I reached her most intimate part. Josie’s breathing was shallow, and she took small gasping breaths. She was already slick with need by the time I had reached her center. Her musk was my favorite smell. I’d never get tired of it. My tongue dipped in for a taste as Josie spread her legs to give me better access. There was no rush as I lapped her juices up. Today was about comfort, because neither of us knew what tomorrow would bring.

“I need you, now.” The command was evident in her tone.

Reluctantly, I stopped my feast and looked up at her. Josie’s desperation was evident. I needed my mouth on her in some way. I slid my way back up her body, and as I slid into her, our mouths met in a kiss full of promise and love. Gently, I rocked into her as she loosely wrapped her legs under my ass. A tug on my hair had me pulling back to look at Josie. I rested on my elbows, my forearms caging her head as we stared into each other’s eyes, my thrusts not speeding up. Our lovemaking was a benediction.

One of her hands left my head and traced a path across my shoulder and down my arm until she reached my hand. With only a slight pull, Josie directed my hand to her face. I cupped her cheek, her hand resting on top of mine. Her head turned slightly as she dropped a soft kiss in my palm, her eyes remaining locked on mine. Then she drew our hands down her body until they met the place where we were connected. Feeling myself slide in and out of her pussy was incredible.

Without waiting for permission, I began stroking her clit. Round and round, her slickness easing the friction. We were connected in a way I’d never been with any woman before her. Josie was my lodestar, the woman I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. We communicated without words, our hearts beating in time with each other, a language all its own. Tremors began in Josie’s pussy, and she clenched down on my cock while she shattered into thousand pieces. Her release triggered mine as I trembled and spent inside her.

When I moved to roll off her, Josie tightened her legs around me, and I had no choice but to press against her.

Her breath teased my ear as she spoke softly. “Stay. I love your weight on top of me.”

“I’m too heavy, Josie.”

“Stay,” she repeated.

Unable to disobey her, I settled my weight on her. Her nose nuzzled my neck.

“The auction is happening soon; I just know it.” I lifted my head, and my gaze met hers, her eyes beseeching. “We have to stop him, Miles. We have to.”

Not caring that I disobeyed, I rolled to the side, but kept her close. I wrapped my arms more fully around her, brushing a kiss to the top of her head as I pulled her into me. The soft citrus smell of her perfume tickled my nose.

“We will, Josie. I promise.”

Later that night, she slept fitfully. She jerked awake several times throughout the night, her soft cries sending daggers to my heart. I made a vow to do everything I could to help bring her father down.
