His hand rubbed the spots he’d smacked as he slid his finger from inside her.“There now,” he said in a soothing tone that made her ache in a whole new way.“Now you’ll be a good girl, won’t you?”
He eased her upright gently, and she was able to name that ache.
She’d wanted to be held by him, to be spoken to just like this as he petted her hair and her back and told her that everything would be okay.
If he said it, she would believe it.
She had the most ridiculous urge to weep like a child in his arms, and she threw herself against his chest.He closed his arms around there.“Aw, my little angel.”He kissed her temple.“Did I hurt you?”
He tensed as he said it and he sounded so horrified she shook her head quickly.“No!Not…not like that, at least.”
He kissed her temple again.“Then what is it?”
She shook her head.“I’m being silly, that’s all.”
He made a soothing murmuring sound as he stroked her back from her neck to her bottom.He did it again and again, until soon her body wanted more than to be held.She found herself rubbing her breasts against his chest, loving the feel of his coarse hair against the soft skin.Her nipples were hard and so sensitive, every brush against him had her catching her breath.
After a while of petting and stroking, gentle kisses and sweet murmured words of encouragement, she leaned in close and settled her lips against the place where she heard his heart beat.“I’m glad you bought me, King,” she whispered.“I’m glad you own me for the night.”
He stiffened beneath her, and his hands gripped her thighs as he came to stand, wrapping her thighs around him.“We’ve only the one night.”It was a warning but a gentle one.He turned and set her down on her back on the settee, shedding his clothes as he said.“Let’s make the most of it.”
She nodded, her heart full to the point of breaking at the thought of tomorrow and what that would bring.
He shed his clothes and towered over her.“Spread your legs, love.Tonight you are all mine.”
