“You will never need to seduce me,” I promised, pressing my erection against her pert ass. “And if you think you can bait me into delivering pleasure on your terms, you’re mistaken. I will always make sure that you are more than satisfied, little pet. But you are not in control.” I roughly cupped her pussy, grinding my palm against her clit. “I own you.”
“Stefano!” The tormented way she groaned my name sounded too much like a protest for my taste.
I hooked my thumbs around her lacy panties, roughly shoving them down her legs so that she was completely stripped for my pleasure, naked save for the crown marking her as my captive queen.
My hand returned to her hot cunt, my fingers sliding through the warmth of her silky arousal. Her lashes fluttered as I stroked her swollen folds, teasing around her clit.
“This hot little pussy is mine. You’re mine, Carmen.” The declaration left me on a hungry growl, my own lust ensnaring my mind and threatening my control. My cock ached to drive into her wet heat, my desire keen enough to set my teeth on edge.
But this was a battle of wills, and I would not surrender until Carmen gave me everything I wanted.
“Say it,” I prompted on a hiss.
“Stefano…”
I locked one hand around her nape, forcing her to bend over the marble counter. My other hand left her pussy, cracking across her ass in a sharp, punitive blow. She shrieked as I painted her bronze skin a warm shade of red, ensuring she felt the stinging burn of my displeasure.
“You do not use my name as a protest,” I corrected her with savage heat. “You can whimper it as much as you like, but never with the intent of denying me.”
I landed a harsh swat directly on her slick labia, and she threw back her head on a howl, grabbing at the crown before it could tumble over her brow.
Her wide gray eyes fixed on mine, wild with alarm. I knew I was pushing her hard, forcing her to witness her breathtaking submission to me. But I needed to hear her acknowledge how important I was to her. She surrendered so beautifully when I exerted my influence over her, and I wouldn’t allow her to hide from the full truth of our relationship anymore.
“Easy, pet,” I soothed her, stroking her enflamed flesh. She shuddered, and more of her slick arousal coated my fingers. “There’s no need to be frightened. You like being mine. See?” I brushed my thumb directly across her clit, and she bucked against my hand.
My shaft throbbed, my balls aching to empty inside her.
I gritted my teeth and forced down my base impulses. Carmen would surrender fully before I fucked her.
“Tell me you’re mine, and I’ll let you come.”
Her teeth sank into her lower lip on a whine, and her pale eyes pleaded for mercy.
I had none left.
“You’re being very stubborn, kitten,” I chided roughly. “Nothing bad will happen if you admit it. In fact, I’ll make sure you feel very good once you do.”
“Stefano—” Her lips slammed shut, her eyes flashing with alarm as soon as she realized her error.
A low growl slipped between my teeth, a ruthless vow that she would regret her protest.
I pressed my desire-slicked fingers against her asshole, clamping my other hand more tightly around her nape to restrain her. Her entire body tensed, but she didn’t thrash or try to fight.
I applied steady pressure, penetrating her tight ring of muscles in a deliberately slow claim. I kept her locked in my hungry stare, imposing my will on her.
“Every inch of you belongs to me.” I began to slowly pump in and out of her ass, stimulating her taboo pleasure points. Her inner muscles clenched around my fingers, and a broken sob wracked her body. “Tell me you’re mine, Carmen.”
She shuddered, her entire body shaking. “Please.”
“Admit the truth, and I’ll let you come.” I released her nape so that I could play with her clit, mercilessly stoking her arousal.
Her eyes were wide, shining with a hint of desperate tears. The stricken expression revealed her anguish, and my chest tightened. She wasn’t resisting out of obstinate pride; my kitten was afraid. She was scared to be so vulnerable with me.
I eased back slightly, shifting my teasing hands from her most sensitive flesh to bracket her hips. I pressed my face closer to hers, nuzzling her cheek while I met her gaze levelly in our reflection.
“It’s okay, kitten. I’m yours, too.” I hadn’t intended to say anything like that, but the admission was pulled from somewhere deep inside me, a confession drawn from my soul to ease her distress.
“I’m yours,” she whispered, my show of vulnerability triggering her surrender more effectively than any ruthless manipulations could ever manage. “I’m yours, Stefano.”
A savage snarl caught in my throat, a sound of harsh triumph and tormented desire. I fumbled at my belt, hastily freeing my cock. She was wet and hot for me, prepared by my cruel game. The birth control shot she’d accepted yesterday wouldn’t be fully effective yet, but I would provide her with a precautionary pill later. Stepping away from her now to grab a condom was out of the question.
