Chapter 17
Seventeen
Eloise
“Faster, feet! Go faster,” I said, running out my backdoor down my porch steps and heading toward the woods like I’d been told. I’d never been so turned on by anyone.
I held the control in this situation, even though it would feel like Kingston wielded it. He was still following my clues, my desires and kinks along with honoring my boundaries. I gave him my consent. Dashing through the tall grass, I was forcibly stopped when King caught me.
“Eeek! What, do you run marathons?” We’d barely gotten started! How had he caught me already?
His cocky smirk spoke volumes without saying a word.
His arms were around my waist like a steel band.
Kingston flipped me up and over his shoulder, my ass in prime position to be spanked.
Kicking my feet did nothing but cause him to land a flurry of spanks against my thighs.
They stung badly and I quit struggling for the moment.
He was incredibly strong, those muscular arms weren’t just for show.
“Sir!”
Kingston growled. “Caught you.”
Struggling got me more smacks, this time on my ass. Each one tore another moan from my lips instead of a protest. When he climbed the porch steps back to my house, I found my voice again.
“Put me down!”
“Not a chance, babygirl.”
Kingston adjusted his hold, opening the door I’d raced out of, and stepped through it.
My pulse hammered in my ears, drowning out any thoughts or worries that I’d been harboring.
His handling let me sink into a yummy space where I let him lead.
Kingston tossed me onto my bed, nearly knocking the wind out of me.
Moving quickly, he tugged every bit of my clothing off.
One of his hands clasped both of mine together, pinning me to the mattress without touching my wrists.
Attempting to break his hold earned two harsh slaps against my mound.
Whimpering, I had no choice but to settle since he’d likely keep targeting my pussy if I didn’t.
“Be still, Eloise.”
Kingston leaned into my neck, licking down and across my throat before nipping my collarbone hard enough that it felt like there would be a mark imprinted from his teeth.
Relearning how to breathe, I spoke up again. “Let me go!”
Kingston parted my thighs with his knee, roughly enough that I kept them open.
He wrapped a silk tie around my upper arms, binding them together.
I wasn’t into bondage of any sort, but I’d also never listed it as a limit.
He pulled his shirt off with one hand, and the action temporarily distracted me.
His other stayed on my hip, ensuring that I didn’t attempt to escape.
Tugging on the buckle of his belt, he undid it, unzipping his pants while still looking sexy.
I squirmed again as if I could break free, as if I wanted to, but I didn’t. I was so deliciously aroused.
“Are you done fighting me yet, princess?”
I said nothing, falsely letting him assume that I was done, but I wasn’t entirely sure myself. Instead of answering him, I kept my eyes locked on his. His mouth turned up into that cocky smile of his, and he slid himself inside my dripping core.
He traced the fingers of his right hand along my body until he reached my throat.
“I’m in charge here, princess. Not you,” he growled. “Do you understand me?”
“Yes, Sir,” I managed.
Kingston thrust in and out of me while I was bound and at his mercy. It was powerful in a way that I hadn’t experienced before. Before I could say anything else, he tightened his grip on my throat.
I came so hard that I saw stars.

Eloise plunged into subspace quicker than I’d intended, but I’d already prepared for that outcome. I dressed quickly while reassuring her that she was okay and that I was there with her. Her eyes were closed, but she was conscious.
“Easy, babygirl. Just breathe. Listen to my voice, okay? Daddy’s got you. I’m right here.”
Rubbing her arms and legs, I kept a close eye on her. She roused, babbling nonsense. At least she was speaking. I held her against me, her body wrapped in blankets as she slowly came down from the high. Her eyes slowly focused on my nose.
“I’ve got you, baby. Can you hear me? I’m right here.” I spoke in a soft, reassuring tone and tipped a water bottle into her mouth. “That’s a good girl. Drink some water.”
“Sir?”
“Hey, princess. Welcome back. Let me do another round of vitals on you, ok? I checked you once, but I want to verify.”
“Mmmmhmm. Yes, Sir. I’ve never hit subspace like that before.”
“You have no idea how delighted that makes me.”
“But I’m embarrassed, Sir.”
“No, princess. Don’t you start thinking that way. Getting you to subspace is one of many rewarding experiences.”
I pumped up my blood pressure cuff and listened through the stethoscope in my ears. Normal. Checking her respirations I was relieved that they were also in a better range.
“It’s so embarrassing, King.”
“Not to me, it isn’t. Keep breathing, babygirl.”
“I promise that’s about all I can do,” I said quietly.
“I think you hit subspace so hard because you were able to trust me completely. You were able to surrender. That’s incredibly powerful. I’m lucky to have experienced it with you.”
“I guess so. I didn’t think about it like that.” She eyed the red digital thermometer in my hand.
“This doesn’t go in your mouth,” I said simply.
“I’m not into butt stuff.”
“I stuck my finger in your defiant little asshole a few weeks ago and your naughty pussy dripped like a waterfall.”
“But that was different.”
“Yes, but your temperature was lower than it should be the first time I checked it. It won’t hurt.” I squeezed a dollop of lubricant onto the tip.
“If you did it already, Sir, then you don’t have to do it again.”
“This isn’t negotiable.”
“Why does it need to go… there?”
“A core reading is the most accurate.” I gave her the clinical answer. “Please cooperate.”
“Why do you have a rectal thermometer on your person?”
“They are single use. I keep them in my jump bag. Mine aren’t used for recreation,” I explained to her as I readied the small thermometer.
“Some people use them in medical play scenes,” she said, still looking at the device.
“Yes, some people do. I know how to use medical tools to delight particular areas of a person’s body, but I’d rather not. Not my kink.”
“Can we skip it?”
“No. An intense scene can have all sorts of effects on your body.” Shifting her slightly, I reached under the blankets.
She quickly turned onto her back. Eloise probably thought that changing her position would prevent me from doing what I needed to do, but it didn’t.
I simply grabbed her ankles and lifted them upward, knocking the blankets off.
“I’m just a little cold, Sir. You don’t need to check.”
“Better safe than sorry. It won’t take long.” Sliding the small tip into her tight pucker drew a low moan from her. I let her get more comfortable before inserting the thermometer deeper.
She squirmed against the cushion. “Mmm. It’s not as bad as I thought it would be.”
“From your reaction I’d say it’s not bad at all, princess.
” I rubbed her upper thigh, offering comfort as I held the device between my fingers.
“Almost done.” The thermometer beeped about a minute later and I removed it.
Studying the number, I draped the blanket over her lower half with my other hand.
“Much better. Do you want a bath before or after we pack your stuff?”
“Hm. Will you take a bath with me?”
“Sure, princess.”
“Okay, bath then we pack? I’m overwhelmed by the thought of just leaving.”
“I’ll handle everything. Come on, babygirl.”
Lifting her up in my arms, I kept the blanket around her as we headed to her bathroom.
Setting her down on the plush coral chaise, I cupped her cheek and kissed it before straightening up.
Her tub could be featured in one of those fancy home and garden magazines my mother used to read.
It was vintage-looking with a sleek modern faucet and claw-footed design.
“I’m sorry for letting things get so out of control, Daddy. I was overworking so much that no matter what I did, I couldn’t get my head on straight. That and fighting you this afternoon when you had my interests in mind. I’ll do my best to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
“Don’t worry about it, beautiful girl. Are you feeling better?”
“Yes, I feel like a totally different person.”
“Good. I hope this feeling carries with you throughout our vacation so you can rest and recharge.”
“Thank you. Are you into primal stuff, or whatever the hell chasing me through my backyard would be called?”
“I’m not big on labels, but what we did could be considered primal play of sorts. Primal light,” I offered laughing.
“Huh? That sounds adorable and not like the intense rush that was flooding my body the whole time.”
“So, it was more about what you wanted to experience without ignoring your limits. You wanted to be forcefully stopped from what you were doing, picked up, carried off. You fought, but only because you felt safe enough to do so. You knew I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.
” I cupped her face with both hands. “The harder you fought, the easier it was for your body to surrender. Even as I pinned you down, you were the one in control.”
She nodded tearfully. Kissing her forehead, I stood and turned on the water adding bubble bath.
“Do you think I hit subspace so hard because it was rough, Sir?”
Leaning against the tub, I rubbed my chin thinking.
“I think it’s a few things. Our bodies hold onto trauma.
When I grabbed you, it may have dipped into some of the bad things you’ve experienced.
But the safety and trust hopefully transmuted the anxiety and panic into pleasure.
I’m not a professional when it comes to that side of things, but your body feels safe because I’m a safety net for you. ”
Eloise held her arms to me and I set her gently into the tub before stripping and joining her. She eased herself into my arms, tracing her fingers over my biceps and along my chest.
She hummed contentedly. “You are so much more than a safety net, King. In a short amount of time you’ve become my rock, my partner… someone I rely on. If you find even a fraction of the amount of happiness that you bring me–” Her breath caught in her throat.
“Shh, princess. You don’t have to spell it all out. I’m fulfilled. Promise.” I kissed the crown of her head.
“And what about Reed?”
“Reed stopped the spiral he was stuck in. I may have had something to do with that.” I nibbled on her earlobe.
“I bet you did. He was so stuck in his head even when we were hanging out. This vacation is probably something we need, all three of us.”
“It’s almost as if I know what my brats need to calm the fuck down and relax,” I said with a chuckle.
“It’s almost as if you’re paying attention!”
“Imagine that, princess.”
Eloise giggled, leaning her head on my chest again.
Her words held more truth than she may have realized.
I prided myself on figuring out other people’s wants, needs and desires when it came to those who mattered the most to me.
As long as Reed and Eli stayed out of their heads, we would all balance beautifully.
This vacation was going to bring us all so much closer.
For once I looked forward to having the time off.
My little brats would be spoiled rotten, not to win them over, but to show them how much I cared.
