“It happens. And I’m very proud of you for using your safe word.”
“Really? I thought you might be mad since I wasn’t actually in any real distress.”
“Emotional distress counts just as much as physical. Even more, sometimes. So yes, I am very, very proud of you.” Running his hand up her leg, he stroked the sensitive skin of her inner thigh. “Would you like me to show you how proud I am, baby?”
How was that even a question? “Oh, hell yes, Daddy.”
ChapterTen
With Mina sleeping soundly in his bed after their third round of the evening, Cyrus slipped down the stairs to his office. No matter how long he’d lain there beside her, sleep eluded him.
It wasn’t until he opened his personal email that he realized what had been nagging at the back of his mind all evening.
Another email from the Guild was waiting for him, a firm reminder for him to select a time for his “interview”. Apparently, simply ignoring them wasn’t going to work. Perhaps it would be best to simply pick a time and get it over with.
As luck would have it, there was an opening the following morning. Early enough that he could swing by the Guild for a few minutes and only be a little delayed in starting his day at the office.
Making his selection, he confirmed the day and time and then sat back, staring at the confirmation message on his screen.
“Whatcha doing, counselor?”
He just barely caught himself before he slammed the lid shut on the laptop. That would only invite questions and the gods knew she could be like a dog with a bone when her curiosity was piqued. “Checking some emails. I couldn’t sleep.”
“Really?” Clad in nothing but one of his t-shirts, her lips turned up in a sultry smile, she crossed the room to straddle his legs. “Maybe I can help you work off some…energy.”
It was on the tip of his tongue to send her back to bed, but she distracted him with a roll of her hips, the heat of her pussy pressing against his cock even through the thin pajama pants he’d pulled on before coming downstairs.
Reaching a hand between them, she palmed his growing erection and he bit back a groan. “You’re going to be the death of me, you know that?”
“Not a bad way to go, right? We’ll both be legends.” A moment later, his cock was free and she was sliding down onto the length of him with a soft hiss of pain. “I’m so sore but I can’t get enough of you inside me.”
As her warmth enveloped him, he grabbed her hips, stopping her movement even though every instinct in his body was screaming at him to keep going. “Condom, Ace.”
“Dammit.” He saw the calculation in her eyes, and a part of him desperately hoped she’d find a reason to keep going. “I’m clear. And I have an implant.”
“Oh, thank the gods. I’m clear, too.”
“Then I’m good if you’re good, counselor.”
With a hefty swat to her bottom, he sent her moving again. “It’s Daddy when you’ve got my cock in you, little girl.”
“Sorry, Daddy,” she gasped out, her head falling back as she rode him.
“Good girl.” Moving a hand between them, he brushed his thumb over her clit. The responding whimper told him she was as sensitive as he was in that moment, and it wouldn’t take much to push her over the edge. “Let Daddy watch you come again, baby.”
His words spurred her on, and he pressed harder against her clit until she contracted around him, her muscles clamping down on his cock as she cried out. When her movements stilled, he gave her another hard swat.
“If you stop, I’ll bend you over the desk and fill that pretty ass of yours with my cum instead. Is that what you want, Ace?”
“Mmmm.” Lifting her head, she smiled, a slow, lazy sort of smile that made him want to make good on his promise. “That sounds pretty hot, actually. But not tonight. I’m sleepy.”
“Then you better keep riding, baby.”
Sighing quietly, she did as he’d ordered and picked up her movements again, riding him until he finally reached his own peak. Her head dropped to his shoulder, and her words were slurred and sleepy when she spoke. “Did I do a good job, Daddy?”
“Yeah, Ace. You did a good job. Let’s get you back to bed.”
Though his own limbs were heavy with exhaustion, he stood and let her wrap herself around him so he could carry her up the stairs. And even though he’d been worried he would still spend the night lying awake beside her, he was asleep within moments of settling them both in bed.
