“I’ll be fine, dear,” I reassure him with a small smile. “What I want is to get the day moving.”
With a reluctant nod, he lets me know that he’s there for me if ever I need him. Holden is kind, but he’s not the man I need. Certainly not on a day like today.

Present Day
The first snow of late fall is gentle, yet the cold is brutal. I hardly notice either. I can only watchher. The parted curtains barely offer me a view of my submissive, my life, my Kiersten, but it’s enough to satisfy my desperate need.
I’m certain she couldn’t imagine that anyone would see her lounging in her silk nightgown. The building facing her windows has none of its own, but from the rooftop, I’ve got a perfect view of her.
She holds a glass of red wine that goes down far too easily. My palm itches to take it from her and part her lips with something else. A low groan vibrates up my chest as I remember those hazel eyes. How she’d peer up at me, craving approval as her cheeks hollowed and she did exactly as she was told.
The memory fades, and in front of me, the woman who loved me with everything she had stares aimlessly at a fire that casts shadows down the side of her face.
I’ve watched her for days now, longing to hold her, to take away that look of despair she wears when no one is watching.
She’s still the beautiful woman I remember. Every detail about her is the same, yet different.
Time has passed, and it’s not been forgiving to me, but her beauty is timeless.
She never asked for me to come back, and for all she knows, I died long ago. That night has haunted me since the moment I went into hiding. Since the day I did what had to be done and left to protect her.
I’ve never wanted anything other than to keep her safe, but at this moment, all I want is to take her on that sofa. To lift the silk fabric up her thighs and command her to spread her legs for me.
I don’t have much of a view as it is, and with my hands going numb from the cold, I’ll need to leave sooner rather than later. The moment she leaves in the morning, though, I’ll be able to search her place for clues as to who Kiersten has become while I’ve been away.
Patience. I’ve waited years to come back to her. I can wait just one more day.
The phone in my pocket buzzes, and it takes everything in me to rip my gaze away from her. It’s a message from my contact, Roland. He has the background check on her ready and offered to locate her.
My message back is simple.I already found her.
The Past, January
Our First Month Together
Seeingmy little submissive on her knees is a sight that would unnerve most men. Kiersten’s plump lips stretch as she wraps them around my cock, slowly pushing herself down further.
“That’s it,” I tell her, humming in pleasure as she pushes further. “Take it all the way.”
When she’d told me that she’d never deepthroated a cock before, I knew it was one of the first lessons I wanted to teach her.
She’s pushed herself, and as her nose gets closer and closer to the base of my cock, I can see her face flush with arousal and an eagerness for more.
Her cheeks hollow, and my toes curl as the tip of my cock presses at the back of her throat and then downward.
“Pull back,” I command in a groan, and she does, taking a deep, gasping breath as she pulls off, spit tumbling from her lip as I take her chin in my hand and lift her eyes to look at me. “You’re going to take it all, aren’t you?”
“Yes Sir,” she says breathily. “All of it,” she adds with a neediness I fucking love.
“Good,” I reply, kissing her deeply before pulling back.
“And what do you think should be your reward?” I push a stray strand of hair back as she bobs on my cock, sucking and letting the tip pop out. Fuck, I feel that tingle up my spine. She’s damn good at what she does and a fast learner.
She bites her lip, and I know what she wants. We’ve already fucked once this morning, and I know she wants more. We’ve only been together a few short weeks, but I know without a doubt that she loves sex, loves trying new things in bed. And I fucking love testing her limits.
I’ve never known someone with such an insatiable appetite for sex.
