Chapter 53 #2
“Jesus, baby. I hope you know what you’re asking for. Remember you have a safeword. I’ll try to be gentle.”
“You’ll look after me. I trust you, Cash Savage.”
“I fucking love you, Addie. My little stowaway. My baby. I want you in my life forever, Addie. Don’t let me do anything to harm you.”
“I have far more trust in you than you do in yourself,” she told him.
Yeah, it seemed that she did.
And he wasn’t certain that that was a good thing.
Turning, he carried her to the bed and laid her on her back before crawling over her on all fours. “What’s your safeword and signal again?”
“Red,” she whispered. “And tapping your cheek three times.”
“Use them if you need to. If you don’t use them when something scares or hurts you, I’ll be very upset with you and you know what happens then.”
“You’ll spank me?” she asked.
“Yes, although not right now,” he said. “That would wait until I feel more like myself.” He started kissing down her neck. He pulled at the T-shirt. “Don’t like this top. Rough on your skin. You need the finest silk and satin.”
He wanted to give her the world, and he’d do whatever he had to in order to do that.
He had some money, a good nest egg. He could look after her.
And if he had to, maybe he could take some side jobs, do whatever he needed in order to keep his girl safe and happy, living the life she deserved to live, not the one she’d had up until now.
“I’m not a silk and satin girl, I like things simpler,” she told him. “I’m happy with a cozy blanket, a mug of hot chocolate, and a night home on the couch. Sometimes I worry I’m not exciting enough for you.”
“Baby, I have enough excitement in my life. Right now, I’m not looking for the adrenaline high. I’m looking for something forever, something sustainable. What I want is you.”
“Then take me,” she told him, her cheeks blushing red. “Please take me.”
He wasn’t going to make her ask anymore. Sitting her up, he reached for the bottom of her T-shirt, pulling it up and over her head. That left her dressed in nothing.
“Where the hell is your underwear?”
“Well, I took them off to have a shower, and then I didn’t want to put them back on.”
“Jesus, baby. You went out of the room with no underwear on? Don’t do that again.”
“Nobody saw me.”
“What if I picked you up and Ralen saw your ass when your legs went around my waist?”
“Oh, well, I hadn’t really thought of that,” she said.
He spun her over onto her stomach without warning, his hand grasping the ass in question. “No one gets to see this butt but me. Understand?”
“Yes,” she gasped.
Then he slapped it lightly, watching as the cheeks turned pale pink. He gave her ass several more light slaps. “This bottom is mine. You’ve finished your period?”
“Yes,” she said. “Days ago.”
“Good.” He turned her back over and took in her naked body, small, pert breasts topped with the most delicious-looking pink nipples. His mouth practically salivated as he gazed at her.
The smooth, flat tummy that led down to a pretty pussy.
Suddenly a hand covered that pussy from his view, and he frowned. What did she think she was doing?
“Maybe we should get under the covers or something?” she suggested.
Under the covers? But then he wouldn’t be able to see her. He moved his gaze back up her body, noticing the way her face had gone bright red. This was something they needed to clear up. Because he was never going to allow her to hide from him.
“Move your hand.” He waited a few seconds. This was also a test of her obedience.
He needed her to do what he told her to right now.
She stared up at him for long moments, her breathing growing more rapid. And then, to his surprise, she slid her hand away from her mound.
“That’s a good girl,” he said. “Now I don’t have to punish you too hard for hiding what’s mine.”
“Punish?” she asked right before he smacked his hand down on her pussy.
He didn’t do it hard. He wasn’t a complete monster after all.
She jumped with a moan. “Oh my God, I can’t believe you just did that. You gave my pussy a spanking.”
Fuck, why were those words so hot? His cock was now pressed against his jeans, his balls aching. He needed to get inside her, but more than that, he had to make sure that she was ready for him.
“That wasn’t a spanking, baby. That wasn’t even a punishment. Show me your pussy. Take hold of your legs and pull them back against your body, spreading them wide. I want to see.”
She stared up at him in amazement, and for a moment, he thought she might refuse, that she might even say her safeword. He just waited. He wasn’t going to influence her one way or another. This had to be her decision.
Then she reached down and pulled up her legs, parting them wide. Oh, hell. He hadn’t thought this through, had he? Was it possible at his age to come in his pants?
Because he felt close to doing just that as he took in her soft folds that were already slick and wet, those delicate lips that were parted, and he knew he had to get his mouth on her.
“Fuck me, baby,” he told her. “This is the prettiest pussy in the world.”
“No, it’s not.”
“Yes, it is,” he countered. “Say that this is the prettiest pussy in the world.”
She grumbled. “It’s the prettiest you know in the world.”
His lips actually quirked up into a half smile. “You know?” he said. “What is ‘‘you know’?”
“You know what ‘you know’ is,” she said to him with a huff.
He loved when she showed a bit of fire. He knew that meant she was getting really comfortable with him. Because when Addie was scared of someone, when she’d just met them, she completely closed down.
“Hmm, I’m not sure that I do know what ‘you know’ is.” He leaned over her again. “Maybe you should tell me. What is this?” He placed his hand over her pussy. “Say it. Say the word. You can do it, Addie.”
“Pussy,” she whispered.
“Say it louder,” he said, in between brushing kisses down her neck and along her chest. “Say the word and you can let go of your legs.”
She groaned. “You know this is a cruel and unusual punishment, right?”
Cash took her nipple into his mouth and sucked on it before biting down gently.
A moan escaped her. “Pussy.”
“Louder,” he urged, moving to her other breast to give her nipple the same treatment.
“Pussy,” she cried loudly. Then she froze. “Oh my God, did I say that loud enough for other people to hear?”
This time his lips didn’t just twitch. He felt a full-blown smile hit his mouth. This was the quickest he’d ever started to recover.
And it was all because of her.
But he wasn’t quite there yet, and the arousal rushing through him needed a place to go. He needed to expend some energy.
Perhaps Ralen was right. The best way to find yourself again was in the arms of someone else. But not just anyone. He needed her to help him come back to himself.
“I’m sure no one heard,” he lied. He was pretty sure the whole penthouse probably had.
Cash moved back to her nipples as she let go of her legs and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Fuck, baby, you are so beautiful. So gorgeous.”
He really liked that she’d never touched anybody else, that no one else had ever seen her naked body, touched it, licked it, kissed it.
Fuck yes, he liked that a lot.
“You make me feel so good,” she said. “Like I’m not lacking or missing anything. Like I’m perfect.”
“Because you are, baby girl.”
“Nobody is,” she told him.
“In my eyes, you’re utterly perfect. And I’m what counts.”
She snorted. “You’re also extremely arrogant.”
“Yes, I am.”
