The position left her vulnerable and open. She didn’t hesitate. Her breasts ached to be touched and her pussy was practically begging him to fuck her it was so wet and ready.
Strong hands stroked down her back and cupped her ass. She’d done some reading online and knew that some dominants liked to spank women, but he never had. It was like he’d said. He liked control, but he wouldn’t ever do anything that might hurt her in the remotest way. Instead of feeling controlled, she felt cherished and protected.
His fingers kneaded her behind. “I love your ass. It’s so full and firm.” Lips grazed the mounds, followed by the scrape of teeth. Goose bumps raced down her legs and she gasped.
Jake stroked down her thighs to her knees before gliding upward. She sucked in a breath, silently pleading with him to touch her pussy. He didn’t disappoint.
A thick finger pushed into her slick channel. “You’re already hot and wet.” She didn’t answer and there really wasn’t anything to say. She was always horny around Jake. It would have been embarrassing except for the fact he was always aroused around her too. The feeling was obviously mutual.
He pulled his finger out and her inner muscles clamped around it, trying to keep it inside her, but he wouldn’t be stopped. She heard a sucking sound that was quickly followed by a hum of pleasure. “You taste sweet and spicy at the same time.” Her face flamed when she realized he’d tasted her arousal. “What should I do with you?”
She had plenty of suggestions, but kept them to herself for now, sensing Jake was enjoying prolonging the moment and building the tension for both of them. She went up on her toes and swung her ass from side to side to entice him.
Jake swore, his hands gripped her hips and she felt his hot breath on the slick folds of her pussy. He was on his knees behind her, looking at her. There was no hiding how much she wanted him and she didn’t want to. She glanced to the left and looked at her ring and the bracelet, both symbols of her love for him. There was no greater aphrodisiac in the world than love.
She wanted to give him whatever he needed. Not that it was all altruistic on her part. Oh no. She knew Jake would more than see to her satisfaction, and several times, before the night was done.
His tongue stroked over her sensitive folds, wringing a cry of pleasure from deep within her. “That’s it,” he crooned. “Give me everything.”
Jake was diabolical in his efforts to push her over the edge. His tongue circled her clit, teasing it from its hood before sucking on the sensitive nub. She fisted her hands in the comforter even as she rocked her hips back, silently begging him not to stop.
One finger filled her, then two, stretching her wide, preparing her for his penetration. He fucked her with his fingers, curling them on each retreat, finding the spot that drove her wild.
Her hips bucked as he used tongue and mouth and fingers on her. Her hair tumbled over her face and shoulders. She buried her face in the comforter and cried out. Her orgasm crashed over her, sweeping her away in a wave of pleasure. Jake’s strong fingers continued to plunge in and out until she all but collapsed on the bed.
Jake stood and wrapped his hands around her waist, keeping her upright. He positioned himself behind her, fitted the head of his cock against her opening and pushed, filling her completely.
“Too much,” she gasped. Aftershocks from her orgasm still shook her and her pussy spasmed around his cock, clutching at his hard length.
“It’s not too much. You can take me.” He slid almost all the way out before forging inward. All the nerve endings in her sheath were stimulated with each thrust. Tears leaked from the corners of her eyes, the pleasure was almost unbearable. With each stroke his sac brushed against her clit, sending spasms of pleasure rushing through her.
Jake kept his thrusts slow and easy, but he never stopped. Her body grew aroused all over again until she was moving with him, reaching for another orgasm.
“That’s it,” he encouraged. “You can come for me again, babe. Just let go. Let me take care of you.”
He banded one arm around her waist to keep her upright and his other hand shifted lower, his fingers widening the lips of her pussy. He stroked one of them over her clit and she came.
She called his name, letting herself go with the pleasure. Her face buried against the comforter, she gave another cry. The muscles in her legs quivered. Jake pulled his cock out of her and released her, keeping one arm around her waist as she slid to the floor, her legs unable to hold her any longer.
She sprawled on the floor, her face against the edge of the mattress. She gasped for breath, shivering as an aftershock shook her. Her entire body was alive, sensitive to the slightest touch. Her hair was covering her face so she brushed it away and peered up at Jake, who was standing beside her.
His expression was one of fierce satisfaction. His cock was still fully erect. He hadn’t come. She’d had two orgasms but he’d yet to find release. When his gaze caught hers, he crooked his finger at her. Limbs shaking, she managed to turn to face him, gripping his thighs for support. His cock bobbed in front of her, a tangible reminder of what he hadn’t done yet.
“Suck my cock, babe.” He tangled his fingers in her hair and brought her mouth level with his erection. “You know what I need. Give it to me.”
Sapphire opened her mouth and took the head inside, sucking on it like a lollipop. She ran her tongue around the ridge, drawing a moan from him. His grip on her hair tightened, making her scalp tingle. “Yes,” he groaned. “More. Take more of me.”
She gripped the base of his cock and stroked up his hard length. On the down stroke, she took him deeper into her mouth, pulling her cheeks in tight for greater suction. Her free hand captured his balls, gently manipulating them until his sac grew hard and drew up tight to his body.
She lapped at the slit in the tip of his shaft, gathering the liquid that leaked out. He tasted salty and musky, all man. Pulses of pleasure had her body still humming, but gradually the satisfaction turned to arousal again. She rubbed her aching breasts against one of his hard, hairy thighs, gaining some relief.
Jake growled and then gently pulled her away, her mouth reluctantly releasing him. “Now. I can’t wait any longer.”
He all but dragged her off the floor and tossed her onto the bed with her legs hanging over. He lifted them and shoved them over his shoulders. Cock hard and thick, he pushed inward, his eyes never leaving her face.
She sucked in a breath and bit her bottom lip as he surged forward, forcing her swollen tissues to stretch, to accept him once again. She raised her hands above her head and gripped the comforter, letting him know she would give him whatever he needed, that she trusted him completely.
Jake didn’t know how his dick hadn’t already exploded. The sweet taste of Sapphire’s cream lingered on his lips and tongue, his cock throbbed, begging for release. Yet, he clenched his teeth and held on, not wanting this moment to end.
It was such a turn-on when Sapphire did as he asked with no hesitation. The way she’d bent forward, spread her legs wide and let him look at her. More than that, let him feast on her pussy and finger-fuck her until she came. Then he’d taken her from behind and she’d orgasmed again for him. He’d barely hung on, but he had.
Then her mouth, her glorious, hot, moist mouth had sucked him as hard as her cunt had. She’d played with his balls until he’d almost shot his load into her mouth. But he hadn’t wanted tonight to end that way. Another night, and soon, but tonight he wanted to be buried in her wet heat, her eyes watching his as they both came.
Sapphire was spread before him, her arms raised above her and resting on the mattress—a sign of her surrender and trust—a bounty for the taking. And his. Always his. His ring glinted on her finger and the bracelet she’d created was wrapped around her wrist, a tangible reminder of agreement to relinquish control to him in the bedroom.
His chest expanded and he sucked in a breath. Deep inside him, something hard and painful settled. He belonged with this woman and would d
o whatever it took to keep her safe and happy. And heaven help anyone who tried to hurt her.
Feeling fierce and possessive, he leaned forward, the change in position driving his cock even deeper, and cupped her breasts. Her nipples were more red than pink and puckered tight. He lightly pinched the nubs and her pussy spasmed around his shaft. Stars exploded in his mind, like fireworks or gunfire. He released her breasts and clamped his hands around her hips, holding on for dear life. Only Sapphire anchored him to the here and now.
He growled and began to fuck her hard, keeping his thrusts short and fast. His balls felt as if they were bound with shrink-wrap, his dick swelling until he could barely move within her.
His orgasm shot from his balls, up his shaft and out through the tip. And it was endless. He had no idea how long he held her there, her legs draped over his shoulders, his head bowed as he tried to catch his breath.
When he finally looked at her, she had one arm over her face and her lips were parted as she sucked air into her lungs. Carefully, he lowered her legs from his shoulders and removed his dick. He was still hard and she flinched slightly.
He frowned, hoping he hadn’t hurt her. Then she lowered her arm and gifted him with a sleepy smile. There was no other woman as giving as Sapphire. How he’d gotten lucky enough to find her was beyond him, but he was sure as hell keeping her now that he had her.
He lifted her into his arms, walked around to the side of the bed and yanked down the covers, depositing her carefully on the sheet. Leaving her briefly, he went to the bathroom, cleaned up and then ran a soft cloth under warm water. Carrying the cloth back to the bed, he ran it over her arms and chest before cleaning between her thighs. She sighed but didn’t object.
He tossed the damp cloth onto the floor and crawled into bed beside her, tugging her into his arms. Sapphire was already asleep.
He was still holding her tight when they woke the next morning. She smiled sleepily at him and he kissed her, letting their lips glide together, his tongue trailing over her bottom one. “Good morning, babe.”
“Good morning.” She rubbed her hand over his chest and his dick jumped.
He grabbed her hand and kissed the finger wearing his ring and then her wrist, which was covered in the bracelet. “I love you.” The words were out of his mouth before he’d even realized he was going to say them. He stiffened, but then slowly relaxed. It felt right to say them. He’d never said them to another woman and never would. Sapphire was the only woman for him. She accepted him as he was and he trusted her to stay with him through thick and thin.
Maybe there were a lot of things he couldn’t control in this world, but one thing he knew he could always count on was Sapphire’s love.
She buried her face against his chest and gave a suspicious sniff. He shifted position until he could see her face and frowned at the tears welling in her eyes. “What’s wrong?” Tension thrummed through him. Didn’t she want him to love her?
She shook her head and flung her arms around his neck. “Nothing is wrong. Everything is right. I love you too.”
He smiled then, knowing he’d been right to say the words. She needed to hear them as much as he did. “How about we get a shower and some breakfast.”
“Sounds good.” She swiped at her eyes, dropped a kiss on his lips and crawled out of bed. He admired her naked ass for a second before joining her in the bathroom and the shower.
An hour later, they were sitting at the kitchen table sipping coffee when Jake’s phone rang. He checked the caller ID and answered when he saw it was Dolan. “Yeah.”
“Looks like your boy is in trouble. It’s all over the front page of the newspaper.”
“Is it now?” Jake felt a broad smile crossing his face.
“He’s going to be busy for a long time. He might even go to jail.”
“Thanks for your help, man. Check your account today for final payment.”
“Will do. If you need me again, just call the new number. This phone is history.” The call ended and Jake tucked his phone back into his pocket. He’d dump his phone later, making sure to leave parts of it scattered all over the city. He and Dolan had met briefly yesterday and exchanged new numbers so they could keep in touch.
“What was that about?” Sapphire took a bite of her toast, munching it as she waited for an answer.
Jake rubbed his thumb over the ring he wore on his pinky. It was his reminder, his promise to always protect the woman he loved, and to be honest with her. “Seems as though Ivan Gregor is in trouble. Apparently it’s all over the news this morning.”
“Serves him right.” He was amused by her fierce reaction, even though he knew he shouldn’t be. Sapphire had a deep sense of justice and that’s what this was, plain and simple.
“I don’t think we need to worry about him any longer. He’s got his hands full dealing with other issues and his entire life is going to come under the microscope for a long time to come. He’s going to want to keep his nose as clean as possible to stay out of jail.” Of course, Jake planned to watch the situation carefully and if he felt Sapphire was in danger, he’d take more drastic measures. For now, he felt as though the problem had been dealt with.
“What are your plans for today?” he asked her.
She sipped her coffee and he could practically see the wheels turning in her head. “I thought I’d start planning a wedding.” She smiled at him. “How do you feel about a double wedding?”
“Works for me. Whatever you want.”
She got out of her chair and came around the table to sit in his lap. “Oh, I see what you’re up to. Agree to whatever the little woman wants and just get fitted for the tux.”
“Guilty.” He held up his hand. “I don’t care what you do as long as it makes you happy.”
“You make me happy.” She kissed him but pulled away before he deepened it. “None of that right now. I’ve got a ton of work to take care of and a wedding to plan.”
He growled and playfully patted her butt. “Later.”
“Definitely later,” she agreed. Then she grabbed her phone and hit a number on her speed dial. “Good morning, Topaz. How do you feel about a double wedding?”
Epilogue
Sapphire stood on the magnificent grounds of her parents’ home in upstate New York, admiring the lights twinkling in the trees, the soft music drifting out of the snow-white tent and the murmur of voices all around her.
Strong arms wrapped around her from behind and pulled her against a hard chest. “Happy?”
She looked up at her new husband and smiled. “Completely.” She lifted her hand and admired the plain platinum band that nestled next to her diamond ring. The bracelet she’d made wrapped around her wrist, sapphires sparkling in the light. “You?”
Jake pressed his face against her curls and kissed her head. “More than I ever thought possible.”
Her heart skipped a beat before settling again. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Jake had started opening up more with her, telling her some things about his past. He’d always be more self-contained than most, but that was okay. He loved her. His telling her that was the same as saying he trusted her, and that meant everything to her.
“Topaz and John look happy.” That was an understatement. Her sister was practically glowing and John looked as proud as a peacock.
“They do, but not as happy as us.” He nipped at her ear, making her shiver.
“Your grandfather is having fun. I think he’s hitting on Mrs. Whittaker.” Sadie Whittaker was her family’s former housekeeper. She’d been retired for ten years, but was still a close family friend.
Jake chuckled. “Wouldn’t surprise me. Granddad’s still got a lot of life in him.”
That was an understatement. Bernard Knight had driven up from Brooklyn in his ’68 Camaro last night. He was fit and spry and looked like a man closer to sixty than eighty-two. She’d met him for the first time several weeks ago and knew where Jake had inherited his stubborn streak. Mr. Knight lived his life
by his own rules and paid no mind to what others thought.
“Look, Mom and Dad are dancing.” She pointed at her parents as they took to the dance floor as if they owned it. Her father twirled her mother around while she laughed.
“They can move.” Jake rocked her from side to side. “Did I tell you how gorgeous you look in your dress?” She felt something hard prod her backside and knew Jake was getting aroused.
“You didn’t tell me, but I guessed you liked it.” She rubbed her butt against his growing erection.
“Tease,” he complained. “I know we’re not getting out of here for at least another hour.”
“You’re not having fun?” She turned in his embrace and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Oh, I’m having fun, but I’ll definitely have more later.” He started to kiss her, then stopped. “Shit.” He turned her so she could see Topaz and John walking toward them. “Don’t move,” Jake warned her and she barely kept from giggling as he kept her strategically placed in front of him to hide his obvious arousal.
“You left the party.” Topaz shot Jake an accusatory look. John simply rolled his eyes.
“Actually, I was the one who left,” Sapphire offered. “I just wanted a moment to let it all sink in.”
Topaz smiled and then twirled around in a circle, arms extended. “We’re married. Can you believe it?”
Sapphire enjoyed her sister’s enthusiasm. From the moment she’d suggested a double wedding, Topaz had thrown herself into the preparations with undisguised glee.
“Here comes the other Jewel,” Jake whispered in her ear. Sapphire peered around Topaz to see their sister Emerald coming toward them with her husband in tow. Jackson kept one arm around his wife as they approached. Emerald had stood as matron of honor for both of them. Jackson had stepped in to act as best man for both grooms.
“Congratulations to you both.” Emerald hugged both sisters. “I hope you’re as happy as Jackson and I.” She glanced at her new brothers-in-law. “You both look like you’re getting ready to bolt.” She gave her husband a knowing look. “I recognize the expression on your faces.”
