Rex rejoining my level. Which meant he had to be close.
Adrenaline made my heart jump into my throat. I swallowed the dizzying rush, risking a glance back as I scrambled down the steps.
There he was, silently appearing in the doorway already—even closer than I’d thought.
I whimpered, grabbing the bedpost as I flung myself around it.
Shit. Now he had me trapped against the wall in the corner. My palms grew damp, and I choked back another groan as Rex meticulously closed the bedroom door behind himself.
Then my Daddy turned to look at me, strolling closer like he had all the time in the world. He picked a careful path down the center of the empty space between the foot of the bed and the wall, so there was no escape toward the door.
This was the same place he’d caught me before, with the wall at my back and the dresser blocking my escape route to the side.
As difficult as it was, I gulped and edged forward. I had to ignore the instinct to flatten myself against the wall and whimper, bare my throat and body—to submit to his will.
I had one more trick up my sleeve. I waited with bated breath for my moment…
Rex walked down the steps toward me with a slow, certain stride, snarling with bared teeth in victory. It must only have been seconds that passed, but time itself seemed to open up, revealing lifetimes in every moment as the walls closed in around me and he stared me down.
Now!
With a frantic whine, I sprang toward him, but as he stared and reached out for me, I dodged around him. My palms pressed into the bedspread as I reached the bed in seconds, scrambling to get my foot up on it and launch myself across it…
But my foot caught in the duvet, and I cried out as I went face-first onto the bed. I flailed to scramble across the bed, but with a yowl, Rex sprang onto the bed and straddled me.
Daddy was upon me, snarling close to my ear as he shoved my head into the bed and dragged his nails down my back.
“Mine.”
Rex’s snarl was the first word he’d spoken in long, heart-pounding minutes of adrenaline. And my body understood it in a way that surpassed language itself.
He was claiming me as his property, his prey, his helpless little fucktoy. I needed this harsh dominance like I needed oxygen, and I gasped for breath.
Hot lines of pain sprang up along my skin, igniting my nipples and shivering through my torso until a rush of heat hit my stomach. It coursed through my erection, throbbing all the way to the tip as I clenched and gasped.
Words failed me now, even curse words. The guttural whine that escaped my throat was close to a snarl. I threw my weight back into him, but he just pressed himself smoothly against my body to turn the blow into a smooth ride instead.
Rex’s cock slid neatly between my cheeks, which still tingled from the punishment he’d delivered at Dom Nation. The hard line of him dragged along the most sensitive spot of my body.
He had yet to fill me, and boy did my body know it. I craved it like nothing else—almost enough to give up the struggle here and now.
I whimpered and bucked against him, but all it did was force his shaft to slide up and down between my cheeks, sending another ripple of painfully desperate sparks through my aching dick.
I twisted sideways instead, throwing my weight into it, and I caught him by surprise. The wrestling match was quick and intense as he locked his leg around my ankles to keep me from flipping over fully. With my lower half trapped down against the bed, I didn’t have a lot of leverage.
Rex slid an arm around my chest, twisting me back down until I lost my grip on the bed and collapsed on my face again.
I reached behind me, scratching and flailing at anything I could reach, but my hands only made glancing contact with his skin.
I’d lost, and the animal inside me wanted to pay the price—now.
Rex grabbed my wrists and yanked them above my head, then pressed against them with one palm to keep my hands trapped there. “Mine,” he hissed again, his teeth closing around my earlobe.
I whimpered, my whole body trembling as I held still. Then he bit the back of my neck hard, and the tension in my muscles eased like he’d pressed
