like you a lot. And you…you said all this stuff about getting to know each other but I already know you. And I know I deceived you and I feel really bad about that and so you might not trust me or feel you don’t know me. But back in the club, that was me! I went there because I was forced to in the beginning, but then it became the one thing in my life I had to look forward to. Seeing you was the highlight of my week. Discovering my Little side, being with you, it was the only time I wasn’t scared or worried. Not because of my Little, but because of you! So I don’t need time, Ink. I don’t need space. And I definitely don’t need my own damn bedroom.”
She gasped in a breath after spewing all that out.
He was gaping at her.
Way to act like a crazy person, Betsy.
Right. If he didn’t want her, it was going to come out now. She braced herself. He stormed towards her, wrapped his hand around the back of her neck then kissed her.
It was hot. It was possessive. It melted her.
When he drew back, they were both breathing heavily.
“Damn you’re hot. I want you so fucking bad.”
“Oh. That’s nice.”
“It’s not going to be nice, Betsy. When I get you in my bed, and after that little speech, that’s gonna be about ten minutes from now, it’s gonna be dirty, hard and hot. You’re gonna come so many times, you won’t even know your own name and then I’ll start all over again. I’m gonna eat that pussy until you won’t remember a time that my tongue wasn’t buried inside you. I’m going to fuck you. I’m going to own you. Got me?”
“Got you,” she whispered.
“I’m not like your mother or your husband or Forrest. I don’t want to keep you down, Betsy. I want to put you on a pedestal. I don’t want someone perfect. I won’t ever use you or hurt you. Out there,” he nodded towards the outside, “everyone will see you for what you are. My fucking Queen.” He clasped hold of her hips, pressing her close to him. Danger was a cloak around him that made it hard for her to breathe.
Yep, she really had awakened the beast.
Now she had to deal with him.
“But in here, Betsy. You. Are. Mine. Got me?”
“Got you,” she breathed.
“That what you want?”
“Yes.”
“Once you commit, there’s no going back,” he warned
“I want it. I want you. I’m certain.”
He moved one hand back up to the back of her neck. “Your ass is gonna be red for keeping this from me.”
“I know.” Her breath came faster.
“And for acting like a brat to get a reaction for me.”
“I figured.”
“Also gonna spank you for scaring me and going back to his house.”
“Okay.” Shoot. She’d really racked up the punishments.
“You’re not going to be sitting comfortably tomorrow,” he murmured. “You also need Little time.”
She did. Desperately.
Using his other hand, he brushed her hair back, tucking it behind her ear. “Unfortunately, we don’t have much time at the moment. When this is all over, you and I are going on vacation. A quiet cabin on the lake. No interruptions. Lots of button and Daddy time. As well as Ink and Betsy time.”
“Sounds amazing.”
He ran a finger down her cheek then over her lips. “But since we don’t have much time and it’s still something you need, we’ll have to see about getting you Little time while we’re at work.”
She stiffened. She couldn’t. Could she?
“People will see.”
“You don’t have to do anything in front of others you’re not comfortable with. But when I’m not with clients, you could spend time in Little space. We’ll get you a backpack, fill it with coloring books and toys. If you didn’t order the right stuff already, you can do it tomorrow. I like that idea. Might help me de-stress as well.”
Then she’d do it. Although she wasn’t going to tell him she hadn’t ordered anything yet.
“It will help you stop worrying,” he muttered.
God, she hoped so. All her worries were piling on top of her. Fear for the boys and what they might be getting up to. As far as she knew, they didn’t even have cell phones. And even if they did, how would they know how to call her or find her? What Forrest was plotting. Her future. Ink.
“But right now, I do believe I promised to make you come.”
“Lots,” she added.
He grinned. “Lots. Not
