Romance Book Club

by Michelle Hughes

  He smiled warmly at her words before moving between her thighs. The look in her eyes told him much more than her hesitant words. Resting his lower body against hers, he allowed her to feel just how much he desired her. "Jessie girl, you have no idea of the things I'm going to do to you." Lowering his head, he kissed her passionately.

  Returning his kiss, she was sure she didn't know, but with his hard shaft rubbing against her sensitive folds, she was definitely willing to find out. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she held him tightly and arched her hips up to rub against him desperately.

  Allowing her tempting little body free will for a few more moments, he knew if he didn't control her, he was going to lose what little self control he had left. He quickly found the cuffs attached to the bed and had her arms secured in seconds. "After I love you, Jessie girl, I'm going to punish you for calling me a liar." He smirked and moved himself down the bed to put his head between her thighs.

  His unveiled threat sent a tremble of anticipation through her body, but she had little time to think about it as his tongue found her core and brought her to the brink of ecstasy. Over and over, he held her on the edge and pulled away until she was ready to scream in frustration. He knew this game well, obviously, and played her body with perfection.

  The sight of her tiny form writhing in pleasure demanded he fulfill his own needs, but he wasn't ready for her to find nirvana just yet. Rolling over to the bedside table, he slid a condom on within seconds. Moving back between her thighs, his cock rested at the entrance of her core. He pushed in slightly, and then recoiled, enjoying the look of longing on her face. "I could tease you like this all night, Jessie." Again, he gave a slight thrust and retreated, not sure if he was killing her or himself.

  "Chase, please," she demanded, arching up as he pulled away again. This was the ultimate torture--knowing what pleasure he could give with his body and being denied.

  The look in her eyes and the soft whimper escaping her lips was enough, he decided as he filled her completely with one long thrust. He enjoyed the sensation of feeling like he'd finally come home for a few moments before his body took over. With each delicious thrust, her body clung to him like a second skin and he almost hated pulling away again. She was made to love him like this, he thought as he increased his power and took her with a reckless abandon that left them both gasping for air when release came.

  Shaking his head, he chuckled loudly. "Jessie girl, do you have any idea how good you make me feel?" Keeping his body weight on his upper arms, he lowered his face to brush her lips with his.

  She had an inclination, since her legs were pretty much like jelly as she basked in the aftermath, feeling incredible. "I hope as good as you make me feel," she whispered. Glancing up into his beautiful eyes, she smiled shyly.

  She was amazed at how incredible being with him was. If other people were this lucky in finding the perfect lover, she couldn't understand why they didn't spend their entire lives wrapped in that lover's arms. Who needed material things when there was this, she thought with a small laugh.

  He rolled out of bed and slid on his underwear, pleased by the sound of her laughter. "I want you to know how much you please me, Jessie girl." He smiled at her.

  "You pleased me, too." She glanced up at him expectantly, wondering why he was now wearing underwear again.

  "That's my job." He winked, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Patting the place beside him, he waited until she was sitting next to him. "My other job is to make sure you know that when I tell you something, you believe it."

  His tone had deepened, and for reasons she didn't understand, it made her heart race nervously. "I'm not sure I understand," she said, nibbling on her lip.

  He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her against him as he looked down into her confused eyes. Still smiling reassuringly, he explained, "I told you I loved you tonight. You threw that back in my face, assuming I was lying." He saw the fear she couldn't hide, and lowered his lips to her cheek to place a chaste kiss there. "I would never lie about loving you."

  She trembled nervously and wasn't sure that she liked how guilty his statement made her feel. "How could I believe someone like you could really love me?" Lowering her eyes, the earlier contentment from their passionate lovemaking dissipated.

  Shaking his head at her lack of confidence, he sighed. "Jessie girl, I don't know whether I should pull you over my lap and spank you, or hug you until you realize how incredible you are." Pulling her into his arms he decided to start with the latter. "You are perfection to me Jessie girl. I refused to let you believe anything else." Lifting her chin, he stared down into her eyes. "Maybe I'll do both," referring back to hugging or spanking her, he lowered his lips to hers and kissed her passionately.

  Both? Her mind tried to keep up with his words, but his kiss was enough to take her breath away.

  When her arms wrapped around his neck, he knew she wasn't truly hearing him. He pulled back and smiled into her heated gaze. "Definitely, both," he chuckled and patted his lap.

  She looked up at him in confusion. He's not really going to spank me, her mind finally caught up with what he'd said.

  "Over my knee Jessie girl," patting his lap again, he waited patiently for her to move.

  With awkward movements, she slid off the bed, and rested over his lap. A part of her mind told her to be afraid, but all she really felt was anticipation. She knew instinctively he wouldn't hurt her. With that brazen thought she wiggled her butt.

  Chuckling at her bravado, he rested his hand on her exquisite ass. "The things I could do with these lovely twin mounds." Kneading the firm flesh for a few moments, he then allowed his hand to fall down with a little force.

  Tensing at the slight sting, she was shocked to realize it turned her on. As his hand fell again on the opposite cheek, she moaned. Rotating her hips, she felt her core drench as his hand continued to reign down on her tender flesh with building intensity.

  The sight of her beautiful ass tinged with a slight pink color had him hard instantly. Massaging tenderly, he thought of ways to please her in this position. "You have no idea what I want to do this delectable ass, Jessie girl." Sliding his hand around to her core, two fingers plunged deep.

  "Chase!" God, there was something so erotic about being draped over his knee this way. She almost found release.

  Sliding his fingers from her silken heat, his hand landed firmly on her ass again. "This is mine, Jessie girl, say it."

  His fingers moved back to her core and he stroked slowly across the hardened nub of her clit.

  "It's yours." She whimpered the words as his fingers left her aching as they pulled away again.

  Moving back to reign down small slaps against her ass again, he allowed his thumb to push against the bud of her other chamber. "This is mine too. Soon I'm claiming it. Will you deny it?"

  Shaking her head no, the sensations he was racking on her body refused to allow her to deny him anything. "No, anything you want."

  Smiling at her words he slowly pushed his thumb inside. Pleased that she didn't tense against the invasion, he slowly rode her with the digit as his forefinger slid over her clit. "There will be no part of your body that I won't claim, Jessie girl," he warned. The intensity in his voice showed he was serious.

  Her body tensed as he continued to ride her with her fingers, on the edge of paradise. "I need you to claim me," she sobbed. The man's fingers are magical, she thought as he held her on the precipice, then stilled.

  Pulling his fingers away slowly, he showered her ass with a few more playful slaps. Then he pulled her up to sit in his lap. "There's one other part that will belong to me, Jessie girl. Do you know what that is?" Staring intently into her eyes he smiled.

  "I have no idea." What other part could he want?

  Resting his hand against her breast, over her heart, he raised a brow. "Your heart, Jessie girl. In return I give you mine." At the look of doubt that crossed her face, his expression hardened. "You won't doubt tha
t." He demanded, his hand moving under her chin to hold it firmly. "Do you think I'm a stupid man?"

  "Of course not, you're one of the smartest men I know." Wiggling on his lap, she attempted to force away the ache his earlier touch had left.

  Smiling at her movement, he released the grip on her chin, and caressed her cheek. "Then trust me when I say I love you Jessie girl. I am intelligent enough to know when I'm holding the most precious thing in my life in my lap at this moment."

  The look of possession and love that filled his eyes left her with no doubt that his words were true. "I love you too, Chase." Her eyes filled with tears as she confessed the truth. She was amazed. This beautiful, strong man loved her.

  Standing with her in his arms, he walked into the bathroom. "I'm never letting you leave me again, Jessie girl." He warned as they stepped under the steaming water he'd started in the shower.

  He washed her body, seeming to worship her with his hands. Leaning in to his touch, she felt her heart soar with his words. "What if you grow bored with me?" There was still that niggling doubt at the back of her mind that she didn't deserve him.

  Pulling her against his body, he allowed her to feel how much he desired her. "Does this feel like I could ever get bored with you?" He chuckled and lifted her leg to wrap around his waist. Rubbing his cock against the silkiness of her core, he teased. "We are going to explore every ounce of desire your body has to offer, and then go beyond even that."

  Moaning softly as her body responded, she pushed against him. "So we're going to spend all our free time in the bedroom?" Nothing sounded sweeter at that moment, she thought. Reaching her hand down, she grasped him in her hand and began stroking in slow, even motions.

  "My dungeon, my bedroom, on top of a mountain," growling deeply, his body demanded release as her hand squeezed. Dislodging her hand, he walked her backward until she was against the back of the shower stall. Lifting her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist and he drove in deeply.

  Impaled on his impressive length, she cried out with each thrust. His hand wrapped in her hair, and he pulled until her head arched back. Never missing a stroke, he lowered his face to nuzzle her neck, as he drove deeply and retreated. "Mine, Jessie girl. Don't you dare forget it!"

  How could she want to belong to anyone else, she thought. She screamed out as her body found paradise, her hands gripping his shoulders at the force of her release.

  Perfection, he thought as his cock was gripped and released as she came. That was all it took, he couldn't hold back. With a deep growl, he filled her. It took several moments for him to realize he'd forgotten a condom, and he shook his head at his forgetfulness. "How do you feel about kids?" In all his years he'd never been so irresponsible, the things this beautiful woman did to him!

  He untangled their bodies, and she looked at him perplexed. "I like kids." She had no idea why he chose this moment to bring it up.

  Pulling her back under the water, he rinsed her off, hoping she wasn't going to be angry. "I forgot to use a condom."

  He looked so horrified, she couldn't help but giggle. "I wouldn't mind having your child." Saying the words, she knew they were true. She really did like kids. The thought of ever meeting a man she'd be willing to have them with had been the problem.

  "You should be kicking my ass right now." He shook his head, stepped out of the shower, and retrieved towels. He dried her off first, and then took care of his own needs. "I won't be that irresponsible again, Jessie girl, you have my word." If she wasn't pregnant now. He knew he was physically healthy. He'd always used condoms in the past, and had a yearly check up.

  "I think it takes two, Chase," she grinned. Walking over, she lifted up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. "I got on the pill after our first night together." The thought of having his child wasn't abhorrent though.

  Sighing in relief, he smiled. "I think kids in the future would be nice. As long as they're planned." Pulling her into arms, he hugged her tightly. "Let's get back in bed." Without giving her time to accept or decline, he lifted her into his arms.

  Laughing, snuggled back in his arms in bed again, she gave a content sigh. "I love you." She wanted to keep saying those words over and over.

  "I love you, Jessie girl." He spent the rest of the evening showing her without words.

  CHAPTER NINETEEN

  Jessie Girl

  The last six months had been more incredible than any dream she'd ever had. She’d moved in with Chase last month and doing so had bonded them even more. Her mind had been opened to a world of incredible pleasures, things that would have seemed overwhelming before he'd walked into her life. Happiness couldn't even describe how loved and cherished she felt with her alpha male.

  The book club meeting tonight was something she wasn't really looking forward too. Not because she didn't love her friends, but because she had her own love story to live and it was hard to leave him, if only for a night. Carolyn had become almost as dear to her as Amanda, since they played in the same world. It hadn't taken long to realize the small deception she'd taken part in by sending Chase to her that night in the dungeon had turned into a priceless gift she would never be able to repay.

  The woman who walked into the meeting tonight was so different from the girl she had once been, she thought. Her beautiful master had given her confidence and helped her discover the strong, powerful woman who had been hiding behind the wallflower. No longer did she feel uncomfortable with her body. Being put on a pedestal by her lover had the most amazing effect on her self-esteem. There was no doubt in her mind that Chase loved everything about her.

  Tonight she was dressed to accentuate her body’s features. Chase had taught her that dressing her body in flattering ways encouraged the world to see a confident woman who never felt out of place. The group of women she’d previously felt awkward around due to her lack of fashion sense now asked her where she purchased her clothing.

  Sitting down with the group tonight, she glanced around with an air of confidence that came from knowing she was just as worthy as every other woman in that room. Liberating was how she explained her new life with Chase. He encouraged her to become a woman who knew who she was and what she required in life.

  "Ladies, I know we were supposed to discuss the new book we added to our list last week, but I have a special surprise for you tonight." Carolyn smiled as she spoke.

  Jessie glanced around at the other ladies then at Carolyn. She was curious about what could be more important than discussing the new book. It was actually one of her favorite new authors, so she hoped whatever Carolyn had planned would prove to be entertaining.

  "If you would, follow me downstairs.” Seemingly unable to contain her glee, Carolyn laughed warmly.

  Jessie stood and glanced at Amanda, then shrugged. Amanda's expression appeared as confused as her own. They followed Carolyn downstairs and collective gasps filled the room as they noticed the band set-up. She doubted her shock wasn't mirrored on the faces of the other ladies when they saw the lead singer. He was a pop idol icon from the eighties.

  The song was one she knew well since Chase had a huge love of 1980's music and he'd dedicated that song to her one night while they were dancing. She was confounded. It seemed a little too coincidental that a band playing their song, just happened to be in Carolyn's basement. Her heart began to race.

  At the end of the song, all the lights in the room dimmed for a brief moment. When they came back up seconds later, Chase was standing where the singer had been, holding a microphone. Jessie felt her heart flutter into her stomach as he gave that smile that always left her a little short of breath.

  "Jessie girl, these last six months with you have been the greatest of my life. I know there will never be another woman who fills my heart the way you do. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He placed the microphone in the stand and walked the few feet over to join her before kneeling down. Holding up a beautiful solitaire diamond in a red velvet box, he looked up at her, his eyes filled wi
th love.

  Staring down into the most beautiful blue eyes she'd ever seen, tears of happiness slid down her cheeks. Nodding, too emotional to speak the words, she held out her trembling hand.

  Sliding the ring on her finger, he looked up and smiled like a man who had just been given the greatest gift in the world. She would be his Jessie girl for all time. "I promise to spend the rest of my life making you happy."

  Kneeling with him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him as tightly as her small frame would allow. "I love you, Chase." Those words didn't even begin to express the emotion she had for this proud, gorgeous man. He'd given her so much. A lifetime wasn't even a sliver of the amount of time she needed to show how deeply she loved him.

  The sound of laughter and clapping filled their ears as his lips found hers. They ignored the crowd. For that brief moment, it was just the two of them. He might be an alpha male, but his control vanished at the thought of knowing she was truly his now forever. "I'll never let you go, Jessie girl," he whispered.

  "I would find you if you did," she said, laughing as they stood up together. She knew this moment in time would be engraved in her mind when she was telling their grandchildren about how he proposed.

  The celebration of their engagement went on for hours. By the time the band had finally called it a night, both of them were looking forward to a little alone time. When Carolyn finally told the group she needed to call it a night, Chase and Jessie could only smile at each other, knowing finally they could leave without hurting anyone's feelings.

  Jessie hugged Carolyn as they made their way to the front door. "Thank you for everything, Carolyn. This has been the most magical night of my life." That didn't even begin to express how appreciative she was for all this woman had done for her.

  Hugging her back, Carolyn smiled in happiness. "I guess you never really know what goes on behind the scenes at a romance book club." She laughed deeply. "I know you’ll have a wonderful life together, Jessie." She hugged Chase as he appeared with their jackets. "Take care of her, Chase." Winking, she watched them walk out the door.
