Page 9 of His to Claim

I didn’t need this shit right now. I had enough on my plate, the request I’d received only two minutes before the accident the reason I’d been distracted. Now my phone was toast and I owed the one man I hoped to never see again.

I shivered at the thought.

That wasn’t entirely true. I’d wanted nothing more than to reconnect one day, attempting in some fashion to apologize for my childish behavior. I’d had reasons besides fear of getting too attached for leaving, but Stone hadn’t deserved utter silence.

Although contacting him would have created even more of a bitter rift with my mother, a woman destined for importance. I’d heard those words dozens of times as well.

And now I’d just been spanked like a bad little girl, which had my nerves on edge.

I shouldn’t allow myself to take even a single night away from my endeavor, my instincts screaming to concentrate. Not. One. Night. But as I’d experienced eight years before, I couldn’t resist Stone in any way. Granted, we’d both changed, but the man he’d turned into physically was spectacular in every manner. While he’d always been athletic, his physique long and lean, the four-inch growth in height, shaggy hair, and rippling muscles gave credence to the dark and dangerous look he’d personified. Every aspect of him was sculpted, as if he’d taken a page from a Greek myth.

Vibrant tattoos crawled from his neck down the length of his arms, the serpent detail almost holographic in design. And the way he fit into tight blue jeans was exactly why God made males in the first place. There was one surprise.

His eyes.

They were cold and distant, as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. I’d remembered his lighthearted albeit dominating nature fondly, as well as his eagerness to face every day. The man I’d run into on the busy street held an aura of dominance, merciless in every manner.

For all the wrong reasons, that excited the hell out of me.

I could barely catch my breath, my heart racing, goosebumps popping along every inch of my naked skin. The spanking was completely out of order, unexpected, and I’d never been so embarrassed in my life.

The pain had been as unbearable as it was exhilarating, igniting a fire deep within. I’d longed for nights of passion instead of lonely fantasies, heroes who easily saved the damsel in distress.

Just not now.

“Are you ready, sweet Vanessa?”

As he fisted my hair, tangling his fingers in my disheveled strands, he ground his jean-covered cock against my bruised ass. Another series of dazzling sensations rocketed through me, sending a shower of shimmering light dancing in front of my eyes. He seemed to hunger for the darkness, perhaps giving him yet another edge to his authority. For me, the eerie shadows were oppressive, my throat tightening.

At least I felt safe in his presence. There wasn’t a single soul on earth who could best the man who had full control over me.

Or at least I hoped.

I shivered to my core thinking about seeing Stone in a suit of armor, a sword in his hand, blood coating the blade after a vicious battle. Maybe I’d been reading too many novels late at night, trying to find a way to sleep off thoughts of monsters who were absolutely real. I inhaled, the scent of the forest and dark spices covering every inch of his body making me swoon.

He chuckled in an evil manner, patting my bottom before pressing his thumb past my swollen folds.

A moan escaped my lips, my body tensing as he pumped into my wetness only twice.

“Do you think you can handle a man like me?”

“Uh-huh.”

Two hard smacks cracked against my ass, a hard tug on my hair quickly following. “What did you say?”

I bit back another moan, closing my eyes. “Yes, sir.”

“That’s better. You’re going to learn to obey me and if you don’t, your punishment will be exceptionally painful.” Stone darted his tongue inside my ear before dragging it down the side of my neck. Everything about him was different. He was even more dominating, taking exactly what he wanted.

There would be no denying him.

“Yes, sir.” I clawed the back of the couch as he shifted his fingers back to my pussy, thrusting deep inside. “Oh. Oh!”

“Imagine all the dirty, vile things I’m going to do to your body. You deserve every one of them.” His actions were brutal, pumping deep inside savagely. He emitted a low rumbling growl, the intense sound floating all around us. All I could think about was that the husky vibe didn’t seem human.

I couldn’t stop trembling even as I opened my legs as wide as possible, hungering for his touch.

“I should bind you, cage you, and keep you as my pet,” he continued, nipping the nape of my neck then licking toward my shoulder. “Would you like that, little princess? Imagine serving my every pleasure no matter what I asked.”
