gently wrapping around my wrists as she leans into my touch. Her eyes closing and the look of pure happiness on her face. It soothes the worry in me, but still I need her to tell me that she feels the same. I know the way we started wasn’t what she wanted. It was a game of fools thinking we each knew what we wanted, when we knew nothing. But now I know. And I’m ready to fight for her.

“You can say you love me. I know you do.” Lilly says teasingly.

Finally opening her pale blue eyes, looking straight into my soul. The look in her eyes doesn’t match the tone of her voice. She needs me to tell her. I’m not sure if I’d recognize the emotion love. It’s not something I grew up with, nothing I’ve ever felt before. But there’s something different between the two of us. Something that drew me to her that first day. And something that fuels me to move mountains to be with her. To never let her go.

“I love you, Lilly.” My lips brush against hers as I whisper the words. It must be love. “I love you.”

“I love you, Sir.”

Her wrists are bound by the thin rope, the end looped over the cast-iron loop above the headboard. She’s bound to my bed where she belongs. Her movements are easy. The only reason the ropes are even there is to prevent her from spearing her fingers in my hair, as I continue to lick between her legs. Her arousal is so sweet, so delicious. And all mine.

I crawl up her body, kissing my way as I go. Her thighs wrap around my shoulder and then down my sides to my waist. I’ve given her as much control as she can manage for this session. No holding still. No asking permission. All she has to do is feel and react.… Although I did bind her wrists… she’s greedy.

My fingers wrapped around her throat as I settle my hips between her thighs spreading her even more. My hard dick nestles between her sweet pussy. I kiss her lips with a passion I feel. I’m grateful for every moment with her. I’ll never let her go. I need her too much.

“Who do you belong to?” I ask her.

“You say, only you.” I love how lust coats her voice.

“Only me for always.” I tell her before slamming into her, all the way to the hilt, capturing her cries of pleasure with my lips. The headboard knocks against the wall with each hard thrust. It only fuels me to take a harder.

She is my one and only. And I’m hers.

“Not this bullshit again!” I slam the book that I’m reading, Don’t Stop, shut with a frustrated growl. How in the hell did I manage to find another book that pisses me off so much that I want to throw it across the room? After I took every precaution to make sure I didn’t?

This one was even worse than the last. The hero and heroine, Ada and Randy, made it through so many trials and tribulations that I was rooting for them like crazy towards the end.

I got really excited, turning the pages with baited breath. And it looked like their path was on its way to glory, only to find out that Ada was hiding a secret baby from Randy. A baby that was sure to cause major scandal between their families. The book cut off right there.

Ugh. It makes me so mad!

Like who the fuck does that?

I can’t say it enough.

I. Detest. Cliffhangers.

But even after all that, I’m dying to know what happened.

A thousand poxes on the author for doing this to me and making me wait! … I know I’ll end up buying the next one though. I blow a strand of hair out of my face as I toss the book onto the ottoman. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment.

I stretch out before grabbing my laptop and opening up my manuscript.

Last night I rewarded myself with writing a chapter of my new novel when I was finally finished my grueling lesson plans.

I’m excited about both the classes and my book.

The words for the novel are flowing easily. And I know with all the inspiration that I have, and the support of my awesome beta reader Jenna, I’ll be able to do the book justice.

But it’s my hobby. Not my job. I chew my bottom lip, holding back my smile. I got my old
