Archer

Watching Sloane beable to handle what I'd put her body through tonight made me fall even more in love with her, knowing she might just be able to survive in my dark world more than I once had thought. Placing her limp body into the warm bath I'd drawn for her, I got in behind her and used the bath oil I had and began to massage her shoulders and arms to relieve any tension she might feel, even though I knew she would still to be sore tomorrow. It brought a smile to my face just knowing that every move she made that she’d have no choice but to think about me. Bringing me out of my thoughts I heard her say my name. "Archer?"

Kissing the back of her neck, shivers ran down her body, causing pride to rise-up within me that I could make her body speak to me anytime I wanted it to without her mind even needed, making her totallymine."Yes?"

Silent for a moment as she seemed to think about her question, she finally asked. "Is it always going to be like that?"

A feeling of fear barreled over me at the thought that I'd misjudged her ability to be able to live in my world. "What do you mean?"

"That intense? I've never had an orgasm like the one I just had with you, it felt as if I wasn't even in control of my body."

Kissing the top of her head, I was relieved at her question. "In the simplest of terms, you weren't in control of your body Sloane, I was. It was in my control tonight. That's what happens when you give yourself over to me completely and trust that I will always cherish the gift of your submission you've chosen to give me, and never abuse it or take it for granted. What you gave me tonight, shows me that you've put your trust in my hands and I will not let you ever regret it. I will always take care of you." I finished saying with another kiss to her head.

Leaning her head back onto my shoulder, she let out a sigh before she said with a laugh. "Death by sex, hmm, what a way to go."

Chuckling at her comment I told her. "I promise you that you will never feel anything but alive in my arms, angel. Always."

"I do feel alive with you, Archer. Always. And I miss you when you're not near."

Pausing for a moment, I could tell she had something else on her mind that she wanted to say but seemed to be struggling with the words. Gripping her jaw, I turned her so I could see her eyes, only to be surprised by the flow of tears making their way down her beautiful face. "What is it, angel? Why are you crying?"

"I'm scared, Archer. We've struggled and been through so much to be here together, like this. What if it doesn't last? What if you decide I'm not enough for you? Or I don't really fit into your world?"

Feeling pissed off at the fact that I had somehow failed to make her see that she was all I'll ever needed, I began to stand up, pulling her up with me. "Stand up Sloane, I need to be able to see you for this conversation." Placing my hands on her shoulders, I turned her towards me, cupping her face with my hands as she lifted her turbulent eyes to mine. "You mean the world to me. You are more than I could have ever hoped to find in a woman or a sub in this life. You were made for me. Can you not see that? You demand my respect and put me in my place when needed, yet you submit to me and allow me the control I need in my life. You're the perfect combination of the perfect woman for me. And no one on this earth will ever take you from me. As long as you want me, I am yours, heart and soul."

Tears started to flow faster from her eyes as she buried her face in my chest and wrapped her arms around my waist. "I love you, Archer Jennings, so much."

Kissing the top of her head, I replied. "I love you too angel, with everything I am, and I always will. No matter what happens, you'll always own my heart. If you ever do decide to leave me one day, you might as well just take it with you because it won't be worth a damn to me anymore without you."

Looking up into my eyes, she said in a choked sob. "You're never going to have to live without it, because I'm not going anywhere."

My phone ringing interrupted us. Kissing her on the lips, I stepped out of the tub, grabbing a towel to go get my phone. "Jennings here."

"Archer, it's, Dalton. I hope I'm not interrupting anything kinky."

Chuckling at his hidden jab I answered. "No, no, you're not. What can I do for you?"

"Well, I wanted to run something by you and Slade tomorrow. So can you meet me in my office first thing in the morning, about eight?"

"Sure, that's fine. Nothing's wrong, is it?"

"No. I just have an idea for the company and want to see what you two think about it, since we are partners and we all have a say in what goes on with it."

Knowing Dalton was always so generous as to include us in these types of decisions, when he'd been the one who started this company and then brought Slade and I in, I simply replied. "You got it. I'll see you at O eight hundred hours tomorrow."

He chuckled at my military response. "You have a nice evening now, Jennings. Oh, and Archer?"

“Yes?"

"Smack dat ass, baby!" he said, laughing at his own joke.

"Fuck you, asshole." I replied, hanging up on him as he still laughed it up. Walking into the office the next morning, I was a little early, so I headed to mine first to check my emails before going to Dalton’s. Once I'd gone through all the ones that needed my immediate attention, I headed out to meet up with Dalton, and Slade. Walking in, I saw that Slade was already here. "Good morning, boys." I called out with a big smile on my face.

"Well, someone's sure in a chipper mood today." Dalton replied with a smirk. "You must have taken my advice last night."

"What advice was that?" Slade asked, trying not to laugh.
