Beyond Expectations (Mended Hearts Book 3)

by Sarah Markel

  “Sweetheart, would you mind if we went home?” Kelly asked between crackers. Alex gave her wife a concerned glance. “Are you starting to feel sick again?” she asked, wondering if she had missed something. Kelly blushed and shook her head. “No, actually I feel great. I was just hoping we could spend some time alone together before the kids come home.” Alex lifted Kelly’s chin, tipping her head up. Brushing her lips gently over her wife’s, Alex murmured “Do we get to use the handcuffs?” she asked, her voice deep. Kelly stood and leaned up on her toes to reach Alex’s ear. “You might not even remember I have them when you see what I bought for us.” Alex shivered at the feeling of Kelly’s warm breath on her skin. “I’ll let the hostesses know we’re leaving.” she murmured, her throat growing tight as arousal surged through her. Kelly smiled to herself as she watched Alex head out the door to find Lauren and Judy.

  After unlocking the front door and letting Kelly in ahead of her, Alex stepped inside and removed her suit jacket. Hanging it on the coat rack, she turned and watched as Kelly took off her boots. She let her eyes rest on Kelly’s backside as she watched the woman bend over to draw the zipper of each boot down her calf. Alex let out an appreciative growl as the back of the skirt raised enough for her to see the skimpy black thong underneath. Stepping forward, Alex slid her hand up the back of one thigh to cup the ass bent in front of her. “You know, Mrs. Walker, your wife really loves seeing you in these skimpy outfits. It really turns her on.” Alex said, her voice low and sensual. Kelly turned her head to the side, her body still bent over, and looked at Alex out of the corner of her eye. “That’s why I wear them.” she said with a smile. Standing slowly, she dragged her hands over her thighs and up her belly before cupping them around her own breasts as she turned to face her wife. Alex sucked in a breath and rested her hands on Kelly’s hips. “Baby, you don’t have to wear revealing clothing to turn me on. I get turned on no matter what you wear.” she said, leaning down to brush her lips over Kelly’s. “Let’s go upstairs.”

  Once upstairs, Alex grabbed Kelly’s hand and pulled her close for a soul-shattering kiss. Deepening the kiss as she guided them both toward the bed, Alex crossed her arms under Kelly’s ass and lifted her from the floor. Kelly wrapped her legs around Alex’s hips and draped her arms over Alex’s neck. “Make love to me.” she whispered against Alex’s mouth. Alex drew her lips along Kelly’s jaw and nipped at her neck. “Are you sure you’re up to it, Officer?” she murmured, biting just shy of hard at the pulse under her lips. Kelly gasped loudly and ground herself against Alex’s middle. Pulling back to look into Alex’s eyes, Kelly whipped the hat off of her head and shook out her cascade of black curls. With her blue eyes full of lust, she crushed her lips to Alex’s with bruising ferocity. “Yes, I want you to fuck me like you’ve never done before.” she said with an intensity that Alex had never seen. Startled, Alex just stared at her wife.

  Kelly had never been so crass about their lovemaking before. Alex had always been gentle with her, aside from the very few occasions when she had lost control of herself and been a little rougher than she intended, but she didn’t think that she had ever fucked her wife before. Alex always enjoyed giving her lover exactly what she wanted, but she wasn’t sure she could do what Kelly asked this time. To her, fucking was for one night stands and drunken interludes between strangers, and making love was for intimate moments between partners. Raising her eyebrow, Alex held on to her wife and addressed her carefully. “Baby, I don’t want to fuck you. You aren’t my mistress or a random one night stand, you are my wife, and I want to make love to you. If you want me to be rough, that’s fine, but I refuse to treat you like that.” Kelly felt herself heat with embarrassment. “I’m sorry, honey.” she whispered, tears of shame stinging her eyes.

  Alex set her wife down and held her close. “Sweetheart, what’s wrong? There is nothing to be sorry for.” she said gently, tipping Kelly’s chin up so she could kiss away the droplets on her cheeks. Kelly shrugged her shoulders and turned away from Alex’s gaze. “I felt bad for being too nauseous for sex the last few days, so I was looking for a way to make it up to you, one that would show you how sorry I was for turning down your advances. I read an article that said a big turn on for dominant partners is dirty talk during intimacy. I remembered how much I liked it when my exes did it, and I thought you would like it too.” Alex looked at her wife for a moment before laughter bubbled from her. Kelly whipped her head around and glared. “What’s so damned funny?” she asked, anger flashing through her eyes as she pulled away from Alex. Reaching out to stop her, Alex whipped the woman around and pressed her center against Kelly’s ass. “The article was right,” she growled in Kelly’s ear, “I just don’t like using the word fuck to describe sex with you.” Kelly shivered against Alex’s body. Biting her lip, she raised her arm over her head to rest on the back of Alex’s neck. “Okay.” she said breathlessly as Alex’s hand slid up the length of her thigh to cup her mound.

  “I love feeling you twitch under my fingers.” Alex whispered against Kelly’s ear. Kelly whimpered at the intensity of the throb between her legs. She had always gotten turned on when her past lovers would refer to their sexes, but none of them had ever referred to hers. The sound of Alex’s reference had shot straight to her core and made her instantly wet. Alex pressed gently against Kelly’s throbbing center, eliciting a guttural moan from her wife. Kissing along the back of her neck and around to her other ear, Alex brought her other hand up and slid it inside the top, just above the zipper, to cup one breast. “You can call these whatever you want, I don’t have a preference.” she said, flicking her tongue over the small hoop in Kelly’s ear. Kelly shivered and pressed her ass more firmly against Alex’s crotch. Alex let out a gasping growl and bit down on the junction of Kelly’s neck and shoulder, hard enough to make her wife cry out with surprised pleasure. “I need you, baby.” Kelly panted. Smiling as she kissed the welt left by her teeth, Alex turned Kelly around and kissed her hard.

  While their mouths worked with fervent need, Alex carefully extracted the handcuffs from Kelly’s belt. When their lips parted, she took Kelly’s wrists and locked one cuff loosely in place. “Lie down.” she commanded softly. Kelly looked up at her and nodded wordlessly as she sat down on the bed and shifted to lie on her back. “God, you’re beautiful. And all mine.” Alex said as she licked her lips, her voice deep with intent. With their eyes locked, Alex quickly shed her costume and lowered herself onto her side next to Kelly, “Raise your arms.” Kelly let out a whimper as Alex threaded the loose end of the cuffs through the headboard and clasped it around her other wrist. “Comfortable?” Alex asked. Kelly nodded and kept her eyes on her wife’s. Alex leaned down and kissed her again, gently this time. While she urged Kelly’s lips apart with her tongue, she ran her fingertips over the swell of Kelly’s breasts. Kelly arched into Alex’s touch and closed her teeth over the woman’s bottom lip. Alex let out a grunt of surprise and squeezed Kelly’s breast roughly. “If you want me to stop, or I am being too rough, just say so.” she said when Kelly released her lip. Nodding, Kelly agreed.

  Alex lifted herself and tossed one leg over Kelly’s hips to straddle her, a move that made Kelly moan softly and arch her hips. Alex quirked an eyebrow at her wife. “Uh-uh baby.” she warned, raising up on her knees just enough to keep her weight off of Kelly’s middle. Kelly looked up at her through half-lidded eyes and pouted, a sight that made Alex groan as the moisture between her own thighs grew. Saying nothing, she slid one hand over Kelly’s abdomen and up to the zipper that held the leather top of her costume closed. Slowly, she pulled the zipper down and pushed away the material to expose the braless mounds that she loved so much. Kelly’s nipples instantly hardened as the cool air in the bedroom surrounded them. “Spread your legs for me.” Alex said, as she leaned down to place a kiss between Kelly’s firm breasts. Obediently, Kelly parted her thighs and rested her heels on the bed while Alex situated herself
between them. Careful not to rest too much weight on Kelly’s stomach, Alex leaned over her and trailed several feather soft kisses from the base of her neck to her belly. When she reached the jewel that rested between Kelly’s navel and the thin line of butterflies tattooed across her waist, Alex used the tip of her tongue to flick it. She smiled to herself as Kelly arched and her breathing hastened. Still flicking the small adornment, she danced her fingers over the waistband of Kelly’s skirt. Without looking at her task, Alex unfastened the belt and the button holding the material around Kelly’s hips. Kelly raised up so Alex could slide the skirt off, her thighs trembling in anticipation as Alex looked down at the soaked triangle of material that covered Kelly’s pulsing treasure.

  “This is my favorite part of undressing you.” Alex said, her voice gravelly with restraint. Kelly let out a purr and angled her hips in offering. As she slipped the thong off of Kelly’s hips, she let her fingers graze the tip of the erect bud that stood swollen with desire. Kelly sucked in a breath and panted, “No, Alex, please don’t tease.” Alex slid herself up the length of Kelly’s middle, her belly providing a long stroke against Kelly’s eager sex. “Tell me what you want me to do to you, baby.” she growled, catching the lobe of Kelly’s ear in her teeth. Kelly, her mind hazy with need, struggled for words. “I want… I want you…” she began, desire fogging her brain. Alex brought her hand between them and quickly pushed two fingers inside the slippery folds between her wife’s legs. Pumping her hand slowly, she stared into Kelly’s eyes. “Is this what you want?” she asked. Kelly let out a loud moan and shook her head, her hips undulating with Alex’s pace. “Under the pillow.” she breathed, closing her eyes as the pressure built in her belly. Alex slid her free hand under the pillow that Kelly rested on and, with a smile, she withdrew the present Kelly had alluded to earlier.

  “Oh, you naughty, naughty girl.” Alex crooned, never breaking her rhythmic thrusts. Hearing the heavy arousal in Alex’s voice sent Kelly over the edge. “Oh God, Alex!” she said, before tipping her head back and letting out a cry. When the shudders that gripped her climaxing body subsided, Kelly looked up into her wife’s eyes. “Take the cuffs off first.” she said slowly, watching the way Alex was looking at the new toy. Kelly had ordered it a few weeks before and had it delivered to her office so Alex wouldn’t ruin the surprise. The toy was two inches shorter than the one they normally used for penetration, but the shaft was thicker, something that Kelly had been assured would allow for rough play without the fear of hitting her cervix. She enjoyed using the old toy, but when things got intense, both she and Alex would forget that Kelly’s depths weren’t exactly deep enough. She hated seeing the look of guilt that plagued Alex’s face the next morning, when Kelly had to walk gingerly to avoid pressure on overstimulated, and sometimes bruised, flesh.

  Alex readjusted and laid on her side next to her wife. Taking the key from the nightstand, she reached up and freed Kelly from her restraints. Before she could put the key and cuffs on the nightstand, Kelly rolled over and pushed Alex’s shoulders down on the bed. Slowly, her eyes on Alex’s, Kelly settled herself over Alex’s hips. “I’ve been very naughty, sweetheart, you might need to spank Me.” she whispered, leaning down to scrape her teeth over Alex’s jaw. It was Alex’s turn to gasp loudly at the feeling of Kelly’s heat on her skin. Sliding her hands up Kelly’s thighs and around to squeeze her ass, Alex lifted her hips. “You’re going to have to bend over if I’m going to spank you, baby.” she said, leaning up to flick her tongue over the painfully tight nipples that beckoned to her. A new wave of arousal washed over Kelly at the thought of a position they hadn’t tried before. Easing herself off of Alex’s hips, Kelly laid on her stomach and faced her. “Show me how you want me.” she whispered. Alex chuckled as she slid the toy between her own thighs and slipped the pony end inside herself. Once the protrusion was in place, Alex moved to Kelly’s side and helped the woman get into position.

  Alex was acutely aware that this would be another first that Kelly would experience with her. In her previous relationships, Kelly had been the dominant partner in bed and had never been penetrated by anything other than fingers. Alex had been cautious and gentle the first time she had used a toy to bring Kelly to orgasm, and she remembered the look of absolute trust in the woman’s eyes. She also knew that Kelly was in the mood for more than just gentle love making, she wanted Alex to possess her, own her. Once she had Kelly positioned properly, her head resting on her folded arms and her knees under her to lift her hips off the bed, Alex knelt behind her. “Are you ready?” she asked softly, slapping Kelly’s butt cheek with just enough force to make the woman tense. “Uh-huh.” Kelly replied, need and desire making her voice shaky. Spreading her knees for balance, Alex grasped Kelly’s hips firmly and brought her own forward, to press the head of the toy to her wife’s glistening folds. Kelly moaned as the toy pressed against her. “Are you still feeling naughty, baby?” Alex asked as she placed another firm smack on Kelly’s ass. “Oh yes,” Kelly panted, “I need to be punished.” Alex bit back her response and forced herself to ignore it. She had never understood why women wanted to be punished with sex, but she didn’t want to ruin the mood with another lecture. “Tell me what to do to you.” she said, rolling her hips slightly so that the toy pressed more firmly against Kelly’s center. “I want you inside me. I want to feel you fill me with every inch of your shaft.” Kelly replied, the muscles in her legs and belly quivering in anticipation. Alex hadn’t expected Kelly’s words to go through her the way they did. Forcing herself to start gently, she pressed her hips forward, slowly, until Kelly’s ass was firmly against her.

  “Oh my God, Alex, yes!” Kelly screamed as she felt the shaft slide to the hilt inside her. Alex smiled with pleasure at Kelly’s response and pulled herself out, almost all the way, before sliding back inside again. She kept up this slow, even pace for a while, until she felt Kelly’s muscles stiffen with her impending orgasm. “Are you going to come for me, baby?” she asked, her own orgasm building slowly. “Mmhmm.” Kelly managed, the unadulterated bliss she felt making her moans almost constant. “Do it, babe, I want to feel you tighten when you come on me.” Alex breathed, her voice cracking with restraint. She increased her speed just a bit, sliding in and out of her wife as she pushed her over the edge of orgasm. Kelly cried out as she contracted around the shaft thrusting inside her. “Oh fuck Alex, I’m coming baby!” she screamed, lifting her head and straightening her arms against the headboard so she could rock back to match Alex’s thrusts. When she felt her wife’s juices against her own pulsating center, Alex growled loudly as her own climax crashed through her. When she felt Kelly’s muscles tremble as she dropped her arms and head back on the bed, Alex stilled her hips, the toy still inside her wife. Releasing Kelly’s hips, she rubbed her hands up and down the woman’s back and ass, massaging her lightly. After several moments of quiet splendor, Alex chuckled, breaking the post-orgasmic calm.

  “You know, sweetheart, pretty soon this is going to be the most comfortable position to be in if you want to use the toy.” she said, her hands making their way around Kelly’s sides to massage her breasts. “That’s what Angie said.” Kelly replied, her breathing starting to even out. Alex squeezed her wife’s hard nipples gently and raised an eyebrow. “Angie?” she asked, a little surprised to be discussing her sister during such an intimate moment. Kelly lifted her head and turned to glance at Alex out of the corner of her eye. “Yeah, right after we told everyone I was pregnant. She told me to make sure I was comfortable on my knees, because once I am big enough, it will be the only position that won’t cause discomfort.” Alex shook her head. Being twins, she and Angie were alike in so many ways. During their pregnancies, both sisters had discussed their sexual experiences with one another, and they had both agreed that this was the most comfortable position to be in during the last trimester. “As usual, Angie’s right. Are you ready to cuddle?” she asked, moving her hands back to Kelly’s hips. Kelly gave her a libidinous grin. �
��Oh, we aren’t done yet.” she said, catching Alex off guard when she thrust herself back, hard, against Alex’s hips. Alex’s surprised gasp quickly turned into a purr as her own libido roared back to life. Smacking Kelly’s ass once again, Alex grunted through gritted teeth.

  “You do that again, and you better brace yourself.” she warned, repositioning her legs for better leverage. Kelly purred deep in her throat and asked defiantly, “For what?” before thrusting herself back again. Alex slid her hand up Kelly’s back and curled her fingers in the woman’s hair, tugging her into a semi-upright position. Kelly stretched out one arm to once again brace against the headboard and draped the other behind her, around Alex’s neck. “For when I pound you so hard, you’ll beg me to stop.” Alex said, her free hand snaking around to brace across Kelly’s middle. When Kelly let out a doubtful chuckle, Alex pulled her hips back and thrust into her wife with force. Kelly cried out loudly at the sudden, but very welcomed, assault between her legs. “You’ll have to do better than that.” she growled, fisting her own hand in the hair at the back of Alex’s head. Alex grinned against Kelly’s neck as she continued to make good on her loving, and passionate, threat. Dear God, I love this woman.

  The next morning, Alex woke with a start. Looking at the clock on Kelly’s nightstand, she angled her head to listen for any indication that the kids were downstairs. Hearing nothing, she frowned and ran her hand over Kelly’s shoulder. “Babe? Baby, wake up.” she said gently. Kelly groaned and pulled the blanket over her head, grumbling about being woken up early on a Saturday. Alex chuckled and pulled the woman close. “Darling, I hate to disturb your slumber, but have you any idea about the location of our offspring?” she asked, amused by Kelly’s grumbling. Pulling down the blanket, Kelly turned in Alex’s arms to face her. “What do you mean? Aren’t they downstairs?” she asked, confusion in her voice. After a moment of quiet staring, Kelly’s eyes grew wide. “Oh my God, Alex. We forgot to go pick them up from Angie’s!” she said, tossing the blanket away and hurrying out of bed. Alex groaned and slapped her hands over her forehead. “Fucking really?” she asked no one in particular. With an annoyed chuckle, she got out of bed to get dressed.
