Page 57 of The Biggest Sacrifice

I swoon at his words. “All yours, huh? I think that’s a given.”

“I’m gonna begivingit to you tonight, so come prepared.” He laughs and dances out of my hold as I try to swat at him again.

“Incorrigible!”

“See you tonight, mouse.”

I watchedas his truck pulled into his driveway. Then, I sent him a text.

Me: If you can catch me, you can play with me.

Tommy: I’ll hunt you for eternity.

His reply is instant and sets my body on fire. I’ve dressed in a simple pink slip, lined with lace. He loves me in any lingerie, so I know once he gets an eyeful of this, he’s going to become unhinged.

When he showed up at school today, I knew something was weighing on his mind. The simple fact that he came looking for me told me everything I needed to know.

He’s close to breaking down.

And I’m going to make sure I’m there to catch him.

I unlock my door and turn out all the lights in the house. My ranch is small, but it doesn’t matter. It’s not about hiding, it’s about the chase. About being caught at the end. I love what happens when I’m caught.

The street light cast shadows through the curtains while I watch and wait. A moment goes by. Then another. My blood races through my body and I’m so turned on at just the thought of what this night holds, I’m shaking where I stand. I catch movement across the street and I see Tommy walking towards my house. I hear the door open and I hold my breath. Light pours in and I flatten myself against the wall, waiting for him to speak.

“Should I start counting?”

The room is bathed in almost complete darkness, so he can only see my shadow as I run. His low chuckle as I make it to my kitchen only excites me more.

“Mmm,” his rumble is audibly low and I can already feel it vibrate through me.

I hear his footsteps come closer. He’s moving at a slow pace, like a lion swaggering through the forest. But me? My feet move me along quickly, like a mouse I scurry, moving, then pausing, moving, then pausing, trying to anticipate his next step.

I hold my breath, slipping out of the kitchen and lean against the hall wall.

“What’s the first thing I should do when I catch you, pretty girl?” I hear his steps as he moves through the kitchen. “Maybe spank you for running?” Hearing him flick the lock on the door, I creep back around to the living room. “Maybe I should edge you for teasing me?”

His laughter rumbles around the living room, and I gasp. When the hell did he get into the same room as me so fast? “Oh, pretty mouse, you think I don’t know where you are? At all times?”

The house is still dark, but my eyes have adjusted to it. I can see his outline. Which means he can see me. He’s standing perfectly still, but I know he could lunge at me at any time and catch me, no matter where he is. He moves further into the room, herding me back towards the kitchen and I make it out the doorway to the hall.

“I let you pass me.” His voice echoes closely behind me. “You know where we’re going to end up.”

I move quickly, running into my bedroom, and before I cross the threshold, he’s on me. I let out an excited scream, my adrenaline pumping. He pulls me flat against his chest, my back to his front and whispers in my ear, “Caught you.” He releases me and I jump onto the bed.

The moon light pouring through the window lights up his face and his eyes are wild. But his smile. It’s a natural calming, loving look that brings me back to years prior.

My lion is here.

He comes around to the side of the bed and I jump down, moving to the chaise lounge that we’ve spent many nights together on.

“You’re gorgeous in that color, mouse. The same pink as your pussy. I can’t wait to get my mouth on you.”

He jumps onto the bed and over it, following me to the chaise, and pauses. “Want to start here?” He slows, circling the chair as I walk behind it, his fingers dancing along the arm, but he never lets me out of his sight. “I know you love to ride me in this chair. I know how much you love to have your nipples pinched through your silk slip while my cock is pulsing inside you.” At my nod, he laughs. “I know everything about you, mouse. It’s why I’m yours, and you’re mine.”

I gasp, quickly covering my mouth with my hand.
