Melt My Heart

by Marie Tuhart

  “Pretty breasts. I’m going to make them a little more sensitive before I move on.” The flogger fell several times in a row, and Lexi closed her eyes in pure bliss. Her pussy tightened and released with each blow.

  Her clit was throbbing. Her orgasm curled low in her groin and grew by the second. She sucked in a breath and...nothing. Her release started to fade, and she opened her eyes.

  Gabriel stood next to the bed, grinning. “Soon, I promise.”

  She shook her head, but he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, set the flogger aside and picked up a small vibrator. He cradled it in his palm before straddling her stomach, his tight ass facing her. He kept his weight on his knees but blocked her sight of what he was going to do.

  Lexi bit her lip. Her heart rate picked up. His fingers caressed her inner thigh, and she jumped.

  “Ah, sweet Lexi.”

  The coolness of the toy made her suck in a breath, and then he turned it on. “Oh, fuck,” she whispered, her legs starting to close.

  “Keep those legs open or I’ll tie them apart,” he ordered.

  Lexi widened her legs. The vibrator cradled in his palm was curved. He’d placed it over her slit, with a nub resting on her clit. The vibrations teased her core, but he didn’t allow it to penetrate her pussy. She wanted more. She wanted something to fill her pussy to the brim.

  “This is designed to tease you.” He rocked his wrist, pressing the nub against her clit, and she let out a moan of pleasure. The pressure, combined with the vibrations, caused her clit to tingle.

  “More,” she whispered, her fingers curling around her bonds.

  “What was that?” His touch lightened, and she squirmed on the bed.

  Her gaze clashed with his as he stared over his shoulder. He was frowning, his features firm.

  “Sorry, Sir. More, please.”

  “Better.” He rocked the vibrator again, and she shifted her hips. “Be still.”

  He had to be kidding. But the command in his voice was unmistakable. She closed her eyes, forcing herself not to move. Her toes started to curl as the familiar sensation of an impending climax grew. She clenched her teeth together, fighting the need to squirm on the mattress, to grind her groin against his hand and the vibrator.

  “So beautiful,” he whispered. He turned the vibrator up a level.

  She let out a cry as her orgasm swept through her. Her entire body stiffened and collapsed against the mattress, her breathing ragged.

  “Fucking gorgeous.” He turned the toy off and removed his hand from her mound. The mattress shifted as he climbed off the bed.

  She could only lie there, waiting, basking in her orgasm. The scarves were loosened and her wrists were freed. Gabriel’s strong fingers massaged her arms before he lowered them to her sides. His touch made her skin sing with pleasure.

  The rustling of fabric reached her ears and then the bed dipped. She forced her eyes open to see Gabriel, nude. She let out a gasp. She’d known Gabriel was big but...she was at a loss for words as her gaze devoured his cock.

  “Gabriel?” He was standing next to the bed, one knee on the mattress with his eyes closed and his breathing labored.

  “Your submission is such a gift.” The words came out soft. “I want you so much.”

  Sharp, relentless desire hit low in her stomach. She wanted him. Wanted him so much. She lifted her arms to him, beckoning him her. She wanted him so bad, to feel his weight on her, his cock in her pussy. “Then take me.”

  He grabbed a condom off the night stand, ripped it open, and slid it down over his hardness. Gabriel slid into her embrace, his chest hair teasing her already sensitive nipples.

  “You know I don’t expect you...” he started.

  Her fingers covered his lips. “I want to feel your hard dick in my pussy.”

  “God, Lexi.” He settled between her thighs. “I don’t know if I can be gentle.”

  She placed her palms on his shoulders. “You don’t have to be. I won’t break.”

  He nodded, and his lips captured hers as he thrust into her pussy. She cried out into his mouth at the pleasure. She was so wet he sank right into her, and he fit so perfectly. Her tongue capturing his, dueling with it. Her core pulsed around his cock as it adjusted to him.

  Gabriel broke the kiss and gazed down at her, concern written on his face and in his eyes. “All right?”

  “Never better.” She smiled, her mind a whirlwind of emotions—amazement, joy, and pure lust.

  “Oh, I think I can make it better.” He slid out, then back in.

  Even with the condom, each vein of his cock scraped her sensitive tissues. With each thrust he angled to tease her clit, her core tightened, wanting more. Her stomach quivered with the exquisite pleasure of her oncoming orgasm. Lexi wrapped her legs around his thighs as he began thrusting faster and harder.

  Their mouths met once again, but this time, it was almost frantic, as if they’d been apart for a year and had just seen each other again. The all familiar erotic tension built in her core and spread. Her arms tightened around his neck, her hips meeting his every movement.

  Gabriel broke the kiss, his breathing as erratic as hers. “So fucking tight,” he whispered. “And every time you clench around me.”

  Lexi tightened her pelvic muscles, and he let out a moan.

  “So fucking perfect.” He continued to thrust, varying with intensity that made her tighten around his cock, wanting more. “My perfect submissive.”

  “Yes,” she whispered. Her heart jumped at his words. Heat coiled in her pussy, and the little tremors started. “I can’t hold on, Gabriel.”

  “Don’t. Come for me, sweetie. Let me feel your pleasure.”

  Her fingers gripped his shoulders hard as her orgasm burst free. She cried out at the tremors of ecstasy coursing through her body, bringing her nerves alive with sensual gratification.

  “That’s it,” he crooned as he slipped his hand between their bodies.

  “I can’t,” she started, then screamed when his fingers found her clit and pinched it. Another climax burst through, making her shake and moan with pure satisfaction.

  Gabriel thrust twice more then he let out a groan as he went still. His cock twitched inside her pussy.

  Lexi pushed her fingers through his damp hair and brushed a kiss against his lips. “That was fantastic.”

  “And there’s more.”

  She let out a groan. “You’ll kill me.”

  “Later.” He slid from her, rolled to his feet, and went into the bathroom.

  Lexi lay there, totally sated. Her blood hummed with satisfaction. The sound of running water came from the bathroom then Gabriel was back and lifting her into his arms.

  “Shower, then we better had check on Zeus.”

  Chapter Four

  Lexi took her usual seat at the Rainbow Coffee Shop on Friday afternoon and stared out the window. Gabriel would be here shortly. They’d spent last weekend together and several nights this week at his house. This lunch would be their last meeting before going to Logan’s club tomorrow night. She twisted her fingers together.

  Could she submit to him at the club? She wanted to, but fear kept bubbling to the surface.

  Yes, she’d submitted to him last weekend and had been following his instructions without question for two weeks now. But what would happen if she freaked out at the club? Her fingers shook as she brushed away a strand of hair from her face. Would Gabriel walk away from her if she couldn’t submit to him at the club?

  Oh, God, she didn’t want to think about that. Yes, they did have a contract that stated they would stay together for six months, but if she failed again... No, she wouldn’t think like that. She could do this. She could release her hard fought control to him, even if it killed her.

  The cafe door opened, and her attention was caught by Gabriel striding in. Damn, no man should be able to look so good in blue jeans and a work shirt. But he did. Her mouth watered. Her fingers tingled as she remembered tracing his hard
six pack abs.

  He grinned when he saw her. He went to the counter and got their drinks before he sauntered to the table, his long strides eating up the space as if it didn’t exist.

  “Afternoon, Lexi.” He set their drinks down, cupped her chin, leaned in, and kissed her. His scent of sandalwood and pine filled her senses. She adored his smell.

  When he lifted his head, she took a breath. “Good afternoon, Gabriel.”

  “It is now.” He brushed his fingers over her cheek, stepped back and took his seat.

  “How is Zeus today?” she asked as she ran her fingers up and down her iced tea glass, gathering the condensation on her fingertips.

  “He’s good. The guys on the site keep feeding him from their lunches.”

  Lexi shook her head. He hadn’t been able to leave Zeus home alone, so each day, he carted him to the job site in his crate. “People food isn’t good for dogs.”

  “Tell Zeus that.” He leaned back in his chair, and Lexi wished she could be that relaxed. Her right hand fluttered to the table and began playing with her napkin.

  Warm, calloused fingers closed over hers, and she raised her gaze to see a line of worry creased into Gabriel’s forehead. “You’re strung tighter than barbed wire. What’s going on, Lexi?”

  “What if I can’t submit tomorrow night at the club?” Her eyes went wide. She couldn’t believe she blurted that out.

  “Lexi.” His fingers tightened around hers. “You’ve been doing just fine for the last two weeks. The club isn’t a test. If you can’t submit, then we’ll figure it out.”

  “It’s not fair to you. I’ve already failed once.”

  “Enough.” The command in his voice had her head jerking up. “We’ve gone over what I’m going to do at the club. Nothing we haven’t already done together.”

  “I know, but...” She shook her head, still worried about her own fears. Her phone rang. She pulled her hand back then fished her phone out of her purse. “Sorry, I have to take this.”

  Gabriel watched Lexi as she talked. Her jaw was tense as were her shoulders, and there was a slight tremble to her hands. She dropped her phone back in her purse and stared at him.

  “I have to go. There’s an emergency.”

  “Okay.” He rose and went to her side. “It will be good.”

  He gathered her into his embrace and kissed her. He poured his dominance into the kiss, reminding her of who he was. When he released her, her face was flushed. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow night, and I’ll bring the clothes I want you to wear.”

  They hadn’t discussed her clothing, but just today he saw an outfit that would be perfect for her. Lexi opened her mouth, closed it, and just nodded.

  “See you tomorrow,” she whispered, slipping from his hold and leaving the coffee shop. Gabriel waited for his dick to settle down before he strode to the counter, grabbed the food to go, and left.

  The job site was only a few blocks from the cafe, so he started walking. Why was Lexi questioning herself now? Had he missed something? He shook his head.

  The weekend had been fantastic. They’d played together and had made love together. She didn’t have any issues then. Oh, there was a slip up or two, but she had let him take control. He made sure she understood he didn’t want to control her life. He wanted a woman who would submit to him in all sexual matters. He wanted a woman who would also be a partner, a woman he could talk to, and share his life with.

  Lexi was that woman. He was more sure of it as the week came to a close. They’d only been seeing each other for about six months, and their contract was to end soon. Yet he wanted her in his life after the contract was finished. But what was making her so nervous?

  Gabriel made his way onto the construction site and to the trailer he used as an office. Once inside, he let Zeus out of his crate and sat down at his desk. Maybe Logan would have an idea of how he could put Lexi at ease tonight.

  Gabriel picked up the phone and dialed. “Hey Logan,” he said when the other man answered. “I need some advice.”

  ****

  Lexi tensed when Gabriel turned off the main road onto the side road to Logan’s club. She’d almost called Gabriel and cancelled, but in her heart, she wanted to do this. And Gabriel, being the good Dom he was, knew she was still anxious.

  Last night, he’d called her and praised her over the phone. Not that he hadn’t told her how much he appreciated her submission before. Then today, he’d texted her, letting her know he couldn’t wait to see the outfit on her.

  The second text told her he missed kissing her rosy lips. An hour later, another text came, letting her know he had a surprise for her tonight to help her relax.

  Lexi fingered the fabric of her jacket as the car approached the closed gate. A security guard stepped out of the enclosure. Gabriel lowered his window.

  “Names, please.”

  “Gabriel Huntington.”

  “Lexi Mallory.”

  The guard looked through his list then checked off their names. “Thank you. Have a good evening.” He ambled back to the guard post and the gate opened.

  “I can’t believe they ask us for our names every time. I could see if we hadn’t been here for a long time,” she said as Gabriel drove past the intricately designed iron gates.

  “Logan believes in the security of his club and those of us who pay for the privacy.” Gabriel pulled into a parking spot.

  Her nerves danced beneath her skin. What if she started topping from the bottom like she did last time? Would Gabriel walk out on her? He said he wouldn’t, but... Her car door opened and she jumped.

  “Easy, Lexi.” Gabriel took her hand and helped her from the vehicle.

  “Sorry, I was lost in thought.”

  “I noticed.” He locked the car, picked up the three duffle bags—two small and one large—and guided her to the front of the house. He pushed open the heavy oak door. The dark paneling of the entryway greeted them. Lexi took a deep breath. The scent of pine cleaner was almost welcoming.

  “I’m going to go change and get things ready. I’ll meet you at the bar.”

  Lexi nodded and turned toward the woman’s dressing room, but Gabriel tugged on her hand, bringing her back to his side.

  “Just to tide me over...” He swooped down and his lips captured hers.

  Lexi curved one hand behind his neck, her fingers playing with his hair before he broke the kiss.

  “See you soon.” He slipped one of the small duffle bags into her hand, then turned and strode into the men’s dressing room with his bags.

  Lexi made her way into the women’s dressing room. The room was empty, and that surprised her as it was after eight and everyone should be showing up about now. Finding a locker, she dropped the bag on the bench.

  Her teeth sank into her lower lip as she unzipped the bag. What had Gabriel gotten for her to wear? She reached in and pulled out the piece of paper that was on top of the outfit.

  Lexi, tonight is for you. Your safeword applies here as it does anywhere else. I’ll be waiting for you.

  Her heart clenched. He was waiting for her. Her Dom. She set the note aside and lifted out a short sheer black skirt that would barely cover her ass, a deep red halter top that was only a little less sheer than the skirt, a thong the same color as the halter top, and a pair of soft, lightweight, ballet slippers in black.

  Her heart began to pound. The outfit wasn’t any different than what she’d worn other times, yet tonight there was something different. She was dressing for her Dom. She undressed and put on everything Gabriel had given her. Then she stored all her clothes, along with her jacket, into the bag. She pulled the combination lock out of her purse, stuffed everything into the locker, making sure it was locked.

  Taking a deep breath, she marched over to the full length mirror. Holy crap. With her hair up, the red top brought out her skin tone and her nipples showed through the fabric. The red thong cupped her mound, clearly visible through the sheer skirt. Not bad, she thought.

&n
bsp; “Wow, you look fantastic.”

  Lexi turned toward the voice. Sheri Reynolds was another sub at the club, and they’d talked on several occasions. “Hey Sheri.” Lexi smiled.

  “It’s so great to see you.” Sheri bounded over and gave her a hug.

  “You, too.” Sheri hadn’t been at the club two weeks ago, so she hadn’t witnessed Lexi’s meltdown.

  “Are you playing tonight?” Sheri asked as she changed clothes.

  “Yes.”

  “Great. Who with?”

  “Gabriel.” An excited shiver swept up her spine.

  Sheri locked her locker and then turned to Lexi with a big grin on her face. “Oh you’re going to have fun.”

  “I’m a bit nervous.”

  “You’ll be fine.” Sheri touched her arm. “Gabriel will walk you through it. He’s a great Dom.”

  “Yep.” Lexi straightened her shoulders. “I need to go meet him by the bar.”

  “Okay, see you in there.”

  Lexi turned and strode out of the room toward the oak doors that led into the main room of the club. Her spine stiffened, and she raised her chin. She could do this. She pushed open the doors and stepped through them. She would make Gabriel proud.

  Chapter Five

  “About time you got here,” Logan said with a note of exasperation in his voice.

  Gabriel turned to his friend. “I’m not late.” He glanced at the clock on the wall. Nope it was eight-fifteen. He’d just finished the set up in the play area he’d reserved for tonight. And was about to go find Lexi.

  “No, you aren’t late, but the way Lexi is guzzling water, it’s a good thing I don’t serve alcohol or she’d be well past drunk.”

  “Shit.” Gabriel rubbed his bare chest. He’d hoped she’d settled down after he left her to get changed. He glanced over at the bar where Lexi sat. Her eyes were glued to the main entrance, but he’d come in by the side door.

  He glanced back at the play area and doubled checking that floggers, feather ticklers, scarves, body oil and lotion were set up to his satisfaction. The beat of the music thrummed through his veins, along with the smell of leather and sweat. A sense of calm settled over him.
