He pulled her back and she was slow to rouse from that sleepy, desire-warm place he took her when he was this dominant. She found herself being picked up and unceremoniously brought down on his lap, his cock sliding into her hard and fast

She grabbed his shoulders, still blindfolded, his taste still on her tongue.

He was speaking to her, low and dark. Telling her how beautiful she was in raw terms. How hot and slick her cunt was. The dirtier he got, the more his control slipped and that GQ mask fell away and he went into a rut. It made her feel gloriously beautiful and desirable.

“You’re so fucking tight and slick, goddamn.” He nearly snarled it as he thrust so hard her tits bounced. She hung on, her nails digging into his shoulders. She was going to leave a mark and she didn’t give one single fuck. She owned him as surely as he owned her.

“I want to come inside you. Fill you up with me, mark you, gorgeous. I want to bite you.” He moved and his teeth sank into the side of her right breast. She cried out, her cunt rippling around him. God, she was going to come again.

“Tomorrow. Next week. Next month I want you to be at work and think of this. Of the way my cock feels inside you.”

“Yes.”

“Yes. Beautiful, beautiful Raven. All mine.”

“Body and soul.”

“You wreck me with your spine of steel. With your tight cunt and your big gorgeous tits. With the way you suck my cock and take me deep. There is no one like you.”

She arched, undulating on him, brushing her clit against his pubic bone.

“Is this what you need?” He put his fingers in her mouth and she sucked, getting them wet. Those fingers found her clit moments later. “Hm? Should I play with your clit until you come?”

“Yes.”

He did and it felt so good she thought she might die from it. But if she died, she’d miss the climax, so she held on, thrusting, taking him as deep as she could. He growled low in his throat and she knew he was coming. His cock moved inside her, jerked, right as she came, and there was nothing but the circuit of pleasure they made. Thrusting and moving as he fucked her, as she fucked him.

He stood and she managed to hold on. He pulled the blindfold off and kissed her as if his life depended on it.

“Good god.”

He stumbled to the bed and they both fell to it, still wrapped around one another.

“Yeah.”

“I’m so glad I needed to get a tattoo and saw you across the room at that engagement party.” He kissed her again. “Damn, you fill every part of me.”

She held on tight. “You fill parts of me I never thought would stop hurting. I love you, Jonah.”

“Thank God, because I love you too.”
