I captured her mouth, taking away the fear of being heard. Simple and yet powerful.

While I kissed her lips, her body quivered in my hold.

Only when she stopped shaking did I slow my actions, pulling our lips free and offering her a chance to collect her breath.

Every time Isabel laughed whether from joy or anxiousness, I was thrilled. The sound was sweet, the most beautiful music. She gazed at me with lazy eyes, gasping when I pulled all the way out.

“Wait,” she started until I pushed my palm across her lips.

“I never said I was finished.”

And I wasn’t.

No one would ever claim I was a tender man, including her. However, I had my moments. Including now.

As I turned her to face the wall, she automatically placed her palms on the tile, keeping her head lolled over her shoulder.

I trailed my finger down her spine, moving slowly as I watched her facial expressions changing. Even with our explosion passion, there were moments of uncertainty I could easily read. How could I blame her for being uncertain of me? Uncertain of my intentions.

The thought had a chokehold on me even as I rolled my index finger down the crack of her ass. When I snapped my hand against her bottom, she yelped.

I repeated the action several times, realizing that while she’d jumped initially from surprise and annoyance, she’d arched her back in a complete invitation.

While I smacked her bottom three additional times, I thrust my cock back into her pussy. I wanted my dick nice and wet from her juice.

I wore a sly smile and she frowned seeing my expression. The woman had a way of reading my mind. Maybe that’s why when I pressed the tip of my shaft against her asshole, she stopped moving but didn’t try to escape.

Perhaps she knew by now I would find her.

The thought brought a strange swell of emotions. As if I’d failed her.

That would never happen again.

I closed my eyes and gripped both her hips, taking my time to slide my cock into her tight hole. She tensed, even holding her breath, but still she didn’t try to stop me.

As I pushed inside, I had an incredible sense of euphoria that kept my body swaying. Once I was fully seated inside, I finally allowed a deep breath of satisfaction.

She arched her back even more, offering a sly smile of her own. The woman had a way about her that could control me from a distance. How strange the thought. How freeing the moment.

I pulled out, driving into her again, enjoying the tightness and heat. She remained on fire and when I pulled out, she shot her bottom toward me.

With every shiver of her body and the way the water kept her skin glistening, I was in pure awe of the moment. We rocked together from there even as my actions became rougher.

With every sound she made, soft mewls of delight, I was reminded how precious the time spent was. Given she’d escaped, things wouldn’t be easy.

Now, with Mina and what she could be facing, business would be difficult and I’d need to find a way to explain my absences.

I closed my eyes, willing the anger and anxiety away if only for the remainder of the night.

My little girl was fighting her own demons and she needed her papa, her hero. Just like Isabel had mentioned.

As my body’s needs began to take precedence, I said a silent prayer I’d have the strength to protect them and be the man both my girls needed.

And I certainly wasn’t a praying man since God had already forsaken me.

Isabel brought me fully back into the moment, slamming her hips back against me as she gasped. As my balls began to swell, she sensed I was close. She rolled onto her tiptoes, squeezing her muscles until all control was lost and I erupted deep inside.
