Page 97 of Recovering Ivy

He slammed into me and my muscles tightened around his dick.

Smack.

“Don’t come.”

“But, I’m too close.”

Smack.

“Oh, no. You wanted me to fuck you on your knees?” He changed his angle and went deeper. “Then I’m gonna give you what you want.”

“I can’t wait.”

“You better start doing multiplication tables in your head then.” His hands tightened on my hips and he pounded into me. I was through my two factors in my head when I couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Zane, I can’t.”

“Come for me.”

I shouted my pleasure, my legs cramped and my toes curled. I thought I was going to pass out if the spasms didn’t end.

“Zane,” I moaned.

“Ah fuck, Ivy!” He pulled out and hot jets of come splashed on my ass and back. I relaxed into the bed and Zane released his grip on my hips. I waited while Zane rubbed my ass. When I peered over my shoulder, he looked to be in deep concentration.

“Zane?”

“Yeah, baby?” He brought his eyes to mine.

“You okay?”

“Perfect.”

He pulled back and got off the bed. Returning with a washcloth he cleaned my ass and back before he tossed it in the general vicinity of the bathroom.

He pulled the sheets back and situated us the way he did every night, me tucked with my arm over his stomach and leg over his thigh.

“Thank you,” he said after a while.

“Nothing to thank me for.”

“You stayed.”

“I almost didn’t. Old shit was coming up and I was scared.” Shit that was hard to admit. “I love you so much the thought of you rejecting me was killing me.”

“That’s why I pulled back.”

“What?” I sat up so I could look at him.

“I was terrified you’d reject my touch if I tried to make love to you. Hell, after what happened I was afraid you’d reject me altogether. I wouldn’t live through it, Ivy. If you left me, I’d be nothing.”

I climbed over Zane and straddled his big body. “I will never leave you.”

“Promise?”

The thought of my big, strong man feeling uncertain was more than I could bear. Caroline had been right, and I’d done a piss-poor job of giving him a safe place to fall.

“I promise.”
