“You’ll be amazing.”
“Shelley, are you listening to me?”
“I think I’m done listening to you, Leo. When you can say something to me that doesn’t have its roots in some fear, then I’ll listen. You’re the big, bad Dom, but your sub is laying out some rules of her own. I love you. I want to have your kids. I can’t promise you that everything will work out. I can pretty much promise you that it won’t. What I can promise is that I’ll love you through all of it. I’ll love you for the rest of my life and through whatever comes after. That’s the only sure thing here. It’s either enough for you or it isn’t.”
Forever. He wasn’t sure if he believed in it, but she did. She believed with all her heart, and she was offering it to him.
“I don’t know if I can share you long term. What are we going to do about Wolf?” He was a possessive man. He knew it, and yet somehow it had felt right to share her with Wolf the night before as though she was more woman than either could handle. She was a woman with a huge heart who deserved as much love as she could take.
“What was that?” Shelley asked, turning toward the door. She stared for a moment and then shook her head. “I thought I heard something. I’m paranoid now.”
She had every right to be. “We’re safe here, Shelley.” His cock was aching. God, he wanted her.
She straddled him, her curvy body positioned over his. His cock jumped. If he’d stripped her down, he would have been able to play with her pussy. “You asked what to do about Wolf.”
He flushed. It was an excuse, and he hated that he kept making them. “He’s huge, baby. Seriously. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. I think it’s the amount of beets he ate as a small child. We need a bigger bed.”
Chocolate brown eyes rolled. “Bigger bed, check. I’m glad you said that. And about the sharing long term thing…I know you’re worried, but don’t be because you can do it. I have faith.”
Bossy, bratty little thing. He put his hands on that ass he firmly intended to get his dick in very soon. Not now. Wolf should be around to hear her squeals and watch her squirm the first time her little asshole got invaded by one of her Masters’ cocks. “You’ve been laying down a lot of rules, pet. I think it’s about time to get this relationship on the right footing. You have a choice. You get those clothes off now or I can rip them off you.”
Her lips curved up in that oh-so-sultry smile that made his heart skip like some fucking fifteen-year-old kid with his first crush. “What is it with you Meyer men? Yesterday Wolf cut me out of my undies.”
Yeah, his brother was good with a knife. “If I know my brother, you’re no longer allowed to wear undies. Get up, pet. Take those clothes off and understand that if you’ve disobeyed Wolf, I’ll take it out on your sweet ass. You want two Masters? You better get ready, Shelley, because we won’t let you play us off each other.”
She pouted sweetly. “Why does everyone believe the worst of me?” She shrugged out of her shirt and bra. Her nipples were already puckered, just begging for him to bite and lick them. She pushed at the waist of her jeans. “And I’m a deeply obedient girl.”
Leo snorted. “And I believe in unicorns.”
Her voice got husky as she dragged the denim down to her thighs. “I’m obedient when it comes to this.”
Fuck. There it was. Her pussy all perfectly shaved and ripe. “Stop right there. Turn.”
Her eyes flared. Finally she was just the slightest bit nervous. She’d called the shots up until now. Every goddamn one of them. It was way past time for him to take his place as her Master. “Okay.”
“Hush, pet. From now on, the only words I want to hear from those lips are ‘yes, Leo,’ and all the pleas that you can think of to make me stop torturing you.” He pushed gently at her spine, leaning her forward. “Grab your ankles.”
“Leo, why don’t you let me get out of these jeans?”
He smacked her ass in a short, sharp arc. Shelley squealed, but her hands were on her ankles, her breath already ragged. “Those jeans are right where I want them. They’re holding your legs together as well as any rope. Now hold on to your ankles. I want to inspect my pussy.”
“God, Leo.” She groaned the words.
He slapped her ass again. “You aren’t listening to me.”
“Yes, Leo,” she corrected herself quickly. She held fast to her ankles, finally getting into the position Leo wanted her in.
Her ass was in the air, her cheeks already turning a lovely pink. And her pussy pouted out from between her legs, a pink, juicy flower in bloom. He could smell her arousal. Pearly dew coated the petals of her pussy. Leo ran a finger through her labia, coating his skin with her arousal. “Do you feel vulnerable like this, baby?”
“Yes, Leo.” The words were shaky with not a drop of her previous confidence. He loved her faith in herself and in him. He loved the fact that she’d been strong enough to stand up to him. In some ways, she was even stronger than him. But he wanted her off-kilter here. He wanted her soft and submissive here. She would get her way in their normal life, but here he was the Master.
“Good, because we have a few things to work out. You’ll be punished tonight. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Leo. You and Master Wolf are going to punish me because I ran.”
“Because you almost took something precious from us,” Leo explained, running his hand over her ass, loving the way she trembled. “Do you understand what you almost took?”
“Trust,” she said. “I broke trust.”
A good answer, but not the one he wanted. “No, Shelley. It was you. Trust doesn’t mean shit to me if you’re dead. Trust is meaningless to Wolf if you’re not here for him to hold. You’re the important thing. And it is utterly unacceptable for you to put yourself in the line of fire.”
He slapped at her ass. Five quick, easy smacks. He had to save up the rough stuff for later, when his brother was here to help. “This is a warm-up, Shelley. Tonight, you’re going to feel my crop on your ass.”
And tonight, he would lay aside the past and finally look toward the future.
Chapter Sixteen
Shelley felt her whole body trembling. She ached in more ways than one. Her legs were starting to hurt, but the hollow feeling in her pussy was worse. She was ready to take Leo’s crop if it just meant he would do something, but the sadistic bastard just stood there, his hands caressing her gently.
His gentleness was starting to get to her.
“You look so lovely like this. I can see your pretty pussy. Do you know how wet you are? All that cream is just coating your flesh. It’s like your cunt is begging for me to taste it. Do you want that, baby? Do you want my tongue in your pussy? Do you want me to shove my face right between these legs and eat your pussy until I’ve had my fill?”
That was the easiest question he’d asked all day. “Yes, Sir.”
His hands, so close before, moved up, stopping on her lower back. Shelley nearly moaned with frustration. Leo chuckled. “Or I could just sit back and watch you. I can see your pouting pussy and I can see something else.”
He pulled apart the cheeks of her ass.
“I can see your asshole.”
She closed her eyes, forcing herself not to move. God, she wanted to move away from him.
“It’s so tight, baby. No one’s ever fucked this asshole, have they?”
“No, Sir.” God, they were really going to do it. They were going to fuck her ass. She was scared and aroused all at the same time.
“Excellent.” He pulled her cheeks even further apart, and she would have sworn she could feel his eyes on her. “Did Wolf brutalize your little asshole, baby? Did he stretch it and make it burn? Did he fuck you with his fingers first? Tell me how my brother plugged this ass.”
