Edwin grabs my thighs, pinching them hard. “Fuckingmine.”
“Yours.”
Grabbing my chin, he twists my head to the side. Our eyes lock together. “Yes, that’s right.”
“I’m yours.” A whimper. A pledge. A vow. “Yours, Edwin. Yours, yours, yours.”
Edwin kisses me hard and fast, then presses the side of my face into the leather. “Oh, myfucking GOD.”
I hit the apex of my pleasure, screaming against the cross. I clench around him, and I just know from the way we pulse together he’s not going to last.
Edwin’s head dips back, mouth falls open. Hair a complete wreck. And he roars as he comes, the way a primal animal does as he claims his territory.
It’s what I am from now on. It has been decided not just through our words but through our actions. I have laid down my body for him, given him every part of me. Given him control when I have spent so long trying to control everything.
Someone else, at last, can take on my burden.
Edwin touches my cheek. “Sonia.”
Our eyes meet. The scene is over. It is just us.Us.
“Crying.”
I don’t feel the tears that wet my face until he points them out. “Happy.” I smile. “So happy.”
Edwin releases my bindings and, the second I am no longer held up by them, I tumble into his arms, a shock of whatever is left of my body now that I have descended into complete and utter pleasure.
“My good girl. That’s what you are.” He kisses my temple and carries me to the bed.
I nod.
He rolls me up in a blanket and gives me some water and a square of chocolate.
“You need it after the scene. Take it.”
I open my mouth and take it straight from his hand.
“The brat can be tamed.” Edwin scratches his hand through my hair. “But only for so long, I’m sure.”
We both laugh, a flurry of kisses and cuddles. “Yes, I’ve learned my lesson. For now.”
“Don’t you worry, my love.” Edwin forces another sip of water into me. “I’ll be happy to teach you a lesson again.”
“Thank you. For freeing me.” I smile.
I have been freed because of him. From my debts, from my past, from my fears.
And now I am ready to fly.
“Always, my Swan.”
