24. Pepper
Ihave to be certifiably insane to be excited for what Chase has in store for me tonight.
I should put the brakes on. Tell him I don’t take demands from anyone. But I want him to own me tonight. To pleasure me in every way I am sure I’ve never been.
There’s a light snap behind my back and my bra comes loose, but he doesn’t pull it off me quite yet. Instead, he presses a firm hand to my belly. “Lie back, baby.” It’s another gentle command that has me tingling everywhere.
He slides the straps down my arms, tossing the lacy fabric to the side. He roams his eyes over my breasts and with a low growl, bends to take one hard nipple in his mouth, sucking and pulling, making me squirm.
“Now?” I practically beg.
“No.” He responds with a growl, and what I’m picking up isn’t play. It’s almost like a don’t tempt me, because I’ll cave. And I file that away.
Chase Reeves is capable of caving under temptation.
Swallowing my need, I wait for him. He sucks on the other nipple, as I shamelessly writhe under him, pushing my pelvis against his hard cock that’s got to be painfully stretching inside his pants.
He tests the waters again. And hums appreciatively. “Hmm…soaking outside these panties. Keep that up, baby, and they’re going to be useless to both of us.”
He’s not wrong. If he doesn’t take them from me, I’ll likely toss them for failing me tonight.
“Please let me take them off.”
And…apparently, I’m not above begging. Who knew?
“I’ve got you,” he reassures and pushes off the bed.
What? How is that better?
He moves to his dresser and takes his shirt off.
No shirt. No shirt Chase is good.
There’s a small black shopping bag sitting on top of the dresser that he lifts and brings to the bed. He pulls something out of it and sets it aside. Then flips the rest of the contents upside down.
What looks like a mix of a dozen lace and silk panties tumble onto the bed. “For you.” He grins. “And eventually, for me.”
“Do you have some kind of fetish?”
He chuckles then rakes his gaze over me. “I’m starting to.”
He closes the distance and slides his hand over my breast, bending to take my mouth in a hungry kiss. “You’ve been a real brat, you know that, Pepper?” He nips at my bottom lip, not letting me respond, then covers my mouth again with his, pinching my nipple.
I whimper softly. Is he trying to tease me to death?
“You know what brats need?”
“A good fucking?”
He gives me another cocky grin. “Yes.” Then in one swift move, he flips me to my stomach.
“But first. A good spanking.”
Holy fuck. And I thought the other night was dirty heaven. I’ve never been spanked before and don’t know what to expect. Will I like it? Will it hurt?
Not likely. Chase would never—
“Lower them, Pepper.”
At first, I’m confused, but then I realize what he’s referring to. I clench with a need I can’t explain and hook my thumbs into my panties, sliding them down my ass and leaving them there.
“Perfect.”
“You’re a good girl, Pepper. But you’ve been a pain in my ass for weeks. Did you enjoy driving me crazy that night?”
I don’t lift my face off the pillow. I only nod in response.
A gentle but firm slap stings my right cheek.
A muffled yelp comes out and I clench.
“That’s for making me chase you every time you ran off.”
Another smack in the same place, only it’s sharper and arouses me inexplicably.
“That’s for teasing me with this bare ass so close to my cock all night.” He bends to my ear. “What do you think, Pepper? Was that enough?”
God no. Please. More.
I twist my head. “What about the engagement party? Telling everyone how the big broody Chase Reeves hunted me down, got down on one knee and begged me to marry him like a puppy dog.”
“Lift,” he commands.
I press my face back in the pillow and rise slightly for him. Another sharp slap, this one hitting my clit.
And another.
I groan and rock.
Then one more that lingers just enough and I come hard. screaming as he rubs me, drawing out my orgasm.
He pulls my hair to one side, away from my face, and kisses my shoulder. “I think I’ve met my match.” Slowly, he turns me onto my back. “It’s alright.” He winks. “I’ll take it from here.” He pulls my panties the rest of the way down my legs and tosses them to the floor.
He pulls something from the pile of panties. It’s black and silk.
“My blindfold,” I say.
He holds it out for me and I take it. “Okay. But first. Take your pants off.”
Chase grins and slides off the bed, pulling his jeans and boxers off at once.
I lick my lips and rake my fingers along my blindfold, then wrap it around my eyes.
“That’s my girl. Lie back.”
I do and it’s quiet for a moment. Then he spreads my legs. “Is this okay?”
I nod. “Yes.”
He lowers himself over me, completely bare. I feel his erection press against me. It’s thick and hard. My lips part as it nudges me when he bends to kiss me again.
I whimper against his lips, running my hands down his rock-solid abs, traveling closer to his cock.
He pulls back. The bastard.
This has to be illegal.
“I want you, Pepper.”
“Could have fooled me.”
“I would never.” His tone is serious when he lifts off me. “But you haven’t come nearly enough tonight.” He runs his hands between my legs and up my thighs, spreading them. Another moment, and there’s a click, followed by a vibrating sound.
My lips part with a sharp inhale. A vibrator? Is this for real?
“Want to know what color it is, Pep?”
“Yes.” It’s my permission.
“It’s as red as a chili pepper.”
I swallow as the sound grows closer, and I feel him freeze. “You’ll need to say yes again.”
“I’m good,” I reassure.
“Are you sure?”
“Now, Chase.”
He slides the vibrating tip along my wet and ready center. The one that’s been aching for the real thing. He doesn’t push it in. They’re tantalizing strokes. Up and down, zeroing in on my clit and driving me absolutely wild with the damn toy.
My toes stretch.
My back arches.
Needing more of whatever it is he’s holding back.
Almost as if he doesn’t want me to—
He pulls it away.
“Chase.”
He laughs, but it’s short-lived because he replaces the object with his mouth, finishing me as I scream through another mind-shattering orgasm, thrashing and wailing as I claw at his sheets.
He lies beside me as I come down from my high and twists me to him, holding my head while he unties my blindfold.
I blink a few times, finding his gorgeous face staring back at me. “You did good, Princess.” He climbs over me. “How do you want it?”
I giggle. “Oh, have I unlocked the passage to the King’s treasure?”
He grins. “Cute. How, Pepper?”
Hmm… someone’s impatient.
“I want to see you. I want you on top of me. I want you to fuck me just like this.” I glance at the space between us.
He blinks softly. “Are you on the pill?”
“Yes.” There’s no way I’m mentioning my ex’s name right now, but I made sure I wasn’t accidently having any surprise babies with Troy. And he was completely on board with that.
“I’m clean,” he assures.
“Me too.”
Chase positions himself at my center and rubs his tip along my wetness. I love that he’s bare. I want to feel all of him.
Finally, he pushes in. A slow thrust. And it’s comical how easily he slides in, given he tortured me for the first half of our night.
“Lift your ass for me.”
I rise off the bed just enough for him to place his hands under my ass and lift it, going deeper with his thrusts, but not harder.
He fills me completely. Once I’m fully stretched, he starts to pump, his hips rocking back and forth. “You okay?” he asks breathlessly.
I nod. “So much better than okay.”
“You’re such a good dirty girl. You liked your spanking, didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
He thrusts hard and smacks my ass, which intensifies my pleasure. He watches me as he pumps into me. Fucking me powerfully. I lift and reach for him, squeezing his ass. Loving the way it tightens with each stroke.
Each thrust brings me closer to the edge. To the point where I can come at any minute or go all night.
Then I explode. A low groan escapes my throat as I shatter under him.
Chase presses his thumb and rubs tender circles around my clit. “Keep coming, baby. Need to feel you come again.”
I’m not sure I can. I’m already too sensitive.
But apparently, Chase knows my body better than I do, because I’m coming apart again, lifting off the bed in pants, clenching around him.
He groans appreciatively and thrusts hard before emptying inside me.
A few minutes later, after a quick trip for each of us to the bathroom, Chase settles next to me like he can’t get enough of me.
This isn’t what I’m used to. After sex for me was always clean up, dress up, and one of us leaving. Or the roll to the other side of the bed if we’re spending the night.
And even though Chase isn’t exactly cuddling me, he stays close. Almost protectively.
He tucks a few strands of hair behind my ear. “Conner won’t breathe a word of this. Even if I have to pay him off myself.”
“You won’t do that.”
“Pepper, I can—”
“I know you can afford it. You and your brothers have done well enough for yourselves that you can make problems go away. But you’ve already done so much for me. You can’t pay off or threaten everyone who tries to expose me.”
He sighs and tugs me against his chest, kissing the top of my head. “Are you scared?” he asks, after a moment.
“No.” I don’t say more. I don’t tell him it’s because I trust him. I wouldn’t want to put that kind of pressure on anyone.
