“I knew if you entered the auction that you would be mine, and you were, but then circumstances still held me from claiming you totally. I thought I had covered all my bases when I moved you out. If I would have known that Arcola had someone planted on the ship, I would have never let you go.”
“I didn’t know he was on the ship either, but when I saw you with Queenie I thought we were really done.”
“What do you mean, you saw me with Queenie?”
“I was tanning, you were swimming laps, you got out of the pool, she wrapped you in a towel. Any of this coming back to you?”
“That wasn’t Queenie, it was Yvonne. I was helping her with a scavenger hunt, nothing more than that.” Cameron sounded confused.
“I made more out of it in my mind. You see, the first night on the cruise I overheard Queenie say that she would be yours by the end of the cruise as it should have been. It seemed to me like the two of you knew each other very well. I also overheard her and Ryan speaking, I didn’t know it was him at the time, but his voice sounded familiar. Now I know why.”
“This is where it gets complicated. I had a contract with Richard Arcola, for the fight.” He started to explain, “It was a winner take all. Harley knew you were a distraction to me, and encouraged me to move you out of the cabin to focus on the fight.” He squeezed her tight to him.
“I didn’t want to do it, but then everyone else put their two cents in, and the next thing I knew, I had the moving crew meeting me at the cabin. What really pushed me over the edge was they said I was putting you in danger.”
Cameron started to rise from the tub, moving Sadie forward as he stood. He reached for a towel and wrapped it around his waist after getting out. He held another towel for Sadie to step into. “If I would have known moving you out was going to get you stuck in the middle of my mess, I would have never done it.”
Cameron turned Sadie so she was facing him. “You are mine, and I will never let you go.” He started leading her back into the bedroom.
In the middle of the bed was a square gift box, with a red bow. Sadie turned and looked at Cameron. “Is that for me?”
“It’s kind of for both of us.”
Sadie went to the bed and retrieving the box, she sat on the end. She looked up at Cameron as she slipped the bow from the top. She lifted the cover and under it was a collar made of white gold and black diamonds, but it wasn’t any ordinary collar, this one was shaped like angel wings.
The wings started in the center of the collar with the black diamonds encrusted in them, it then created about a three-inch wide choker as the wings wrapped around to the clasp in the back that held a key.
“It’s beautiful.” Sadie lifted it from the case, as if it would break very easily.
“Not as beautiful as the neck it will adorn. Turn so I can put it on.”
When Sadie didn’t move, Cameron’s heart started beating erratically.
Sadie looked up at Cameron. “I thought when a sub received a collar it was done by a ceremony and witnessed with friends, almost like a wedding?” Her voice was small as she asked him her question.
“If you would rather wait to do a ceremony, we can. I just can’t go a minute longer without letting everyone knowing you’re mine. If you won’t wear my collar yet, will you at least wear this then?” In Cameron’s hand, he held another smaller jewelry box.
He lifted the lid to show Sadie a stunning four-karat marquise cut engagement ring with baguettes along the side. He dropped to his knees in front of her. “I knew when I saw you, I would spend the rest of my life with you. The next day, I bought this.
“You gave me the idea for the collar when you left me the brooch. I went to the jeweler on-board and commissioned him to work on nothing else but the collar. I was going to give it to you earlier, but then all hell broke loose.”
A lone tear slid down Sadie’s cheek, Cameron kissed it away. “No more tears, my angel. I want you be my submissive, and my wife, for the rest of our days.” He removed the ring from the box and placed it on her finger. Cameron held his hands out. As Sadie placed her hands in his, he helped her up from the bed.
Sadie looked into Cameron’s eyes. “When I signed onto this cruise, I knew it would be a life-changing experience, and boy was I ever right. Yes, Sir, I will accept your collar as a symbol of my submission to you, my Master, and only you.”
She paused looking at the ring sparkling in the candle light from around the cabin, “I will marry you, Cameron, I will proudly wear your ring as a symbol of my love and devotion to you and our family.” She stopped and quickly asked, “You do want kids some day, right?”
Circling his arms around her, he pulled her close. “Yes, I would like children, just not right away. I want to enjoy you and me, I want to know everything about you, but most of all I just want to be able to touch you whenever I want.”
Cameron slid the towel from Sadie’s body. “When we are both healed up, we will have a collar ceremony with our friends, to make it official, but until we do, I want you to wear it when we are together. Now hold your hair up while I put it on.”
Sadie turned her back to Cameron as she picked her hair up off her neck. She felt the cold metal of the collar against her skin, but it warmed quickly. Cameron took hold of her shoulder and turned her to face him.
“I promise here and now, I will not ever again abuse the trust you have in me. I love you, Sadie.” He took a step back to admire her.
He’d been hard since they had left the tub, but his cock shot straight out of the towel still wrapped around his waist when he saw Sadie in his collar and nothing else.
Sadie felt her actions would speak volumes to him. She dropped to her knees before him, a perfect submissive presentation. “Master, may I remove your towel?”
Cameron was frozen in place; a small breath left his lips at the vision presented before him. How could she so easily forgive him for the danger he had put her in?
When Cameron didn’t respond to her request she looked up at him. Sadie could read the confused look on Cameron’s face. “Master, I know you didn’t mean for any of this to happen to me, but you need to look at it from my point of view.” She hesitated, reaching her hands up to remove the towel from his waist.
“I would have been his target either way. You just made it harder for him.” She could feel the wetness gathering between her legs. Her mouth watered while waiting for her Master’s permission.
“I would very much like to put tonight behind us at least for the next hour or two.” She looked up through hooded eyes. “Master, I want to taste you, all of you. I want you so deep down my throat, all other thought will just leave and I will be all that remains.”
“Sadie, the minute you presented yourself to me, you had my total attention.” Cameron gave a slight nod of his head.
That was all Sadie needed. She opened her mouth, moving forward and capturing him, her lips nibbling their way up then licking her way back down. Sucking him in her mouth, she swirled her tongue around as she swallowed him down.
Sadie moaned, vibrating the sound along his cock as she slipped him from her lips only to suck him right back in. She couldn’t seem to get enough, never had she been so relaxed. This just felt so right, having him push with short strokes, her sucking the tip, dipping her tongue, spreading his pre-cum as she went.
She tilted her head to look up at Cameron, the position giving him more access, as he again plunged down her throat. His heavy balls smacked her chin.
Cameron looked into the eyes of the woman at his feet, his heart constricting with her total submission showing in her eyes. This was something he had never experienced. If Cameron had any doubts that Sadie hadn’t forgiven him, this moment proved to him she had. He was close to losing himself in her sweet mouth, but he wanted tonight to be about Sadie.
He pulled himself out of her mouth, and pulled her to her feet. Crushing her to his chest he took her mouth almost savage like. “As much as I would love to coat your throat, I prefe
r to be deep inside your tight channel.”
He gathered her in his arms and moved them to the bed, placing Sadie in the middle. He climbed in next to her, gathering her close. “I will never get enough of you.” He nipped at her mouth gently. “I want to make love to you, Sadie. I love our scenes, but tonight I need just us, no props. Can you do that, my angel?”
Sadie’s answer was to deepen the kiss Cameron was playing at. She moved her hands through his hair, digging her nails in as Cameron began twisting her nipple.
He kissed his way over her cheek to her ear, licking a path down her neck to take her nipple in his mouth. A chill ran over her body with an unexpected need to just simply let him have free rein of her body, even though she had not been spanked or tied. It was as if her body knew to come alive when Cameron played it.
Cameron met her eyes again, as he moved his kiss over to her other nipple which was begging for the same attention. He held eye contact until his tongue teased her nipple with fast swipes back and forth, and then she closed them with a needy moan. She tried to hold his head in place.
Sadie believed if he continued doing that motion with his tongue she would have her first orgasm by nipple play, but he pulled his head from her hands, leaning his chin on her stomach.
“I will bind you if I have to, but I would prefer you free. Do not stop me from getting to what is now mine. We will have a lifetime of me making you come from playing with your nipples, but not tonight.”
Cameron continued his path down to her belly button, swirling his tongue, tickling her as he went. His path ending at her soaking wet folds, when his tongue licked her swollen clit, she screamed she was so aroused.
Sadie’s body burned with a euphoric need for Cameron. His tongue flicked across her clit, heightening her sensitivity. When he inserted his finger into her channel, her muscles locked down tight around it. He removed it, but this time when he pushed it in, he added another finger. “I love how your body milks my fingers as if they were my cock,” he whispered against her wet channel, his breath cooling the furnace building in her.
Sadie could feel her orgasm building; just as she was ready to come, Cameron removed his fingers again. The noise that escaped from Sadie sounded more like a wounded animal than a woman on the verge of fulfillment.
Cameron’s eyes looked to Sadie’s face. “All in good time, my angel, and when you do, I will lap up every drop.”
His tongue continued to lick and suck on her clit, while he added a third finger, finding her g-spot, vaulting her back off the bed. Cameron held on, keeping his lips fastened on her clit sucking till she came apart.
She tried to move back down onto the bed, but Cameron continued to feast on her like a starving man. “I will never get enough of you. The way you taste, does things to me, I just can’t explain. I want to keep you right here in this position.”
Cameron knew exactly what he was doing, she was close again, but he needed her to know who owned all of her orgasms from now on. Cameron called her name three times before he had her full attention. “All of your orgasms are mine now, they belong only to me. Do you understand, Sadie?”
“Yes, Sir,” her voice sounded small.
“Do not sound so disappointed, I will have no problem watching you get yourself ready for me. Why don’t we practice now?” He moved one of Sadie hands so her fingers slid through her wet folds pinching her clit, and then pushing her middle finger in to try and finish what Cameron had not.
She pulled her finger back circling her clit, and then lightly tapped it. She separated her folds spreading open her fingers, exposing her clit for his pleasure. He sucked on her at the same time his fingers slid inside her, jolting her body off the bed again as her orgasm rocketed through her.
As Sadie floated back down to the bed after her second mind-blowing orgasm, she noted that Cameron had climbed her body and was gazing down at her. “I don’t think I will ever get tired of seeing that look on your face.”
He started pushing his engorged cock into her, and her facial expression changed again. When he felt her channel tighten around him, it changed again. He began pumping into her, he didn’t know how long he would be able to hold back, but he was determined to see the one face that expressed her true self to him.
He placed both hands on either side of her head, holding her in place. “Open your eyes, Sadie, I need to feel your love.”
She opened her eyes, locking them on Cameron’s. He felt the pressure building, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to hold off too much longer. He pushed into her one final time, with his own wounded animal sound. At the same time, Sadie exploded with her third incredible orgasm.
They were both breathing heavy, lying face to face on the bed. “I have to start taking more responsibility at the family business. My grandmother deserves to have some fun for a while before she can’t. I know you signed a contact for three months with the cruise line. I hate to ask, Sadie, but will you break the contract, and stay on land with me?”
Sadie couldn’t imagine being on the ship without Cameron; she knew he was letting her make the decision, and that told Sadie all she needed to know. “If you won’t mind me taking on a new project with Todd Phillips, I’ll be just fine on land. He has a new play he wants me to star in.”
“We will have to go to the start-up cruise for the Sapphire, but you’ll be a passenger this time, not one of the crew. Would you like to speak to the designer who is doing our cabin on the ship? You could tell him if there is anything special you would like included.”
“I think I’d like it to look similar to this one, but with the piano a permanent fixture, along with the hanging clip. Maybe we could use the two together.” She smiled at the thought.
“The launch is scheduled for October. Do you think you could put a wedding together in that time? We could have it on the ship. What do you think?” He was leaning over her, playing with her hair as she lay looking at the ceiling.
“Could we do a theme wedding?” Sadie’s eyebrows rose with her question.
“You can have anything you want, Sadie. If you wanted the world, I would somehow try to gather it for you. That’s how important you are to me.”
She laid her palm on his cheek, her other hand rising to try and brush the hair from his face. “I don’t need the world, but what do you think about a Hollywood haunted Halloween theme?”
“You don’t think there was enough adventure on this cruise? I don’t know if I could handle you being in danger again even if it was staged.”
She brought his lips down to hers kissing him with the promise of things to come. “We don’t have to plan anything tonight. I don’t think I can keep my eyes open much longer, you have totally worn me out.”
Cameron lay back on the pillows and gathered Sadie to his side, tucking her head under his chin. She curled into his body, her arm wrapping across his chest, her ankle entwined with his, and that’s how she fell asleep.
Cameron stayed awake; listening to Sadie until her breathing evened out as sleep consumed her. He looked down at the beautiful woman sleeping in his arms. With everything that had gone wrong, he couldn’t help but think it all happened for a reason.
What that reason was, he didn’t know, he was just glad it had ended with the results he had wanted. His company was finally in his hands. Arcola was out of the picture, and Sadie agreed to be his wife. He closed his eyes, a contented smile on his face. “Life is good!” he thought before joining her in sleep.
Chapter Eighteen
Sadie opened her eyes to find Cameron leaning his head in the palm of his hand held up by his elbow. His eyes were glued to her face and she pulled the sheet over her head. “Don’t look at me, my face has to be a hideous color by now.”
Cameron pulled the sheet from her face. “I have looked at your face all night, why are you now covering it from me?”
Trying to pull the sheet back, Sadie said, “Last night it was dark, so you couldn’t really see it. Now, with the sun shining through, there is
no hiding it.”
Finally pulling the sheet away from her, Cameron said, “Your coloring only enhances your already lovely face. I still can’t believe you actually broke his nose.” Cameron laughed.
“If I wasn’t tied up the whole time I could have done more damage. Dwayne didn’t think too highly of me though.” She rubbed her jaw tenderly with the reminder.
“I would like to go a few rounds with that bastard. Apparently his father never taught him about hitting women. I would like the pleasure of beating it into him.” Cameron had a faraway look on his face, and then his smile turned into a satisfied grin.
Focusing back on Sadie, he said, “We have already docked, and the passengers are having their final breakfast on board. Captain Joshua has planned a private breakfast, and I would very much like you to attend it with me.”
He got out of bed pulling on a pair of sweat pants. Moving to the end of the bed he picked up a long black silk robe. He moved to her side of the bed. “Now, I would like you to get up, and wrap this around you before, the team gets here.”
When Sadie gave him a confused look he continued, “Madison and Isabella mentioned that they had Derek, Skylar, and Ivy get you ready last night. I figured they could help this morning. They’ll be here in five minutes.”
“If it’s that important to you that I go, I will. I have to get used to doing my cover-up myself anyway. But thank you for the thought.” Sadie let him wrap the two sides of the robe around her as she snuggled into his body.
Cameron hugged her tight. “No, you really don’t have to get used to it. I could hire them for as long as you need them to feel publicly ready!”
“That’s not the point, but I will use them this morning. By the way, I don’t need Ivy. She just did my nails last night. I should be good for a week now.” She raised up on her toes and kissed him on the cheek as she scooted past him to use the bathroom.
