Chapter Thirty-Four
Ella
Ibarely register the tray being moved before I’m on my back and he’s over me, braced on his forearms, trapping me beneath him.
I love the weight of him on top of me.
He’s so much bigger.
Beneath him, I feel contained. Caged, but protected. It’s a dichotomy I revel in.
His mouth devours mine before trailing lower, slower this time, deliberate as he maps his way down my body.
His touch is just as electric as it was hours ago. My skin wakes instantly beneath his lips, every nerve primed. By the time he reaches my legs and spreads them gently apart, a wicked gleam has taken over his expression.
Oh no.
What’s he planning now?
He drags his palms slowly up the inside of my knees, thumbs pressing into sensitive skin before his mouth follows. The path he takes is deliberate. Unhurried. Each kiss placed like he has nowhere else to be.
I writhe beneath him, hips lifting instinctively, but he tightens his grip to hold me still.
“Stay,” he murmurs against me.
My fingers tangle in his hair, trying to guide him higher. He resists, teasing the softest parts of me, kissing and tasting everywhere except where I need him most.
“Tiero…” My voice comes out thin, wrecked already. “Please.”
He pauses just long enough for me to feel his smile against my skin.
“Patience, cuore mio.”
“I have none. You made me this way,” I breathe.
That earns a low chuckle. But still, he denies me.
Fine, I’ll take matters into my own hands.
When I reach between us to give myself what he refuses to, he catches my wrist easily and presses it into the mattress beside my head, just firm enough to remind me who’s in charge.
“Ah. You don’t get to rush this,” he says softly. “You are mine right now. So is this pussy. And I give it pleasure how I see fit.”
Oh my.
The words shouldn’t make my stomach tighten the way they do. But bossy Gualtiero is a major turn-on.
Smiling, I exhale slowly and let my head fall back, surrendering.
“Good girl.”
And then he goes back to taking his time. He builds up my frenzy with slow strokes and gentle pressure, pulling me higher, then easing back just enough to keep me hovering on the edge.
My body arches helplessly, every nerve strung tight. And all the while he ignores my needy clit.
By the time he finally gives me what I’ve been begging for, I’m trembling.
He circles the sensitive nub with precision, and relief floods through me in a broken sound. He hums in approval, the vibration sending delicious chills through me.
Instinct takes over, my hips gyrating against his mouth.
“That’s it,” he whispers. “Let me feel you.”
His hands slide up my body, massaging my breasts and playing with my nipples, squeezing them just enough to short-circuit my brain.
When his tongue delves deep into me, I scrunch up the sheets, trying to hold on just a little longer.
“I want you inside me when I come,” I manage, clinging to what little coherence I have left.
His eyes soften for a fraction of a second before that wicked certainty returns.
“You take what I give you, princess. I’m not ready to fill you with my cock. You’ll come on my face first. I want to lap up every drop.”
Brushing his mouth along my hip, he adds, “Trust me.”
And I do.
Not because he demands it. Because I want to.
When release hits, it takes me under completely.
My body gives in all at once, tension snapping, muscles contracting in waves I can’t control. My voice breaks. It’s low and raw, as everything inside me tightens and lets go.
He doesn’t look away.
He watches me like he’s memorizing it.
When I finally sag against the mattress, I’m boneless and dazed. He presses a slow kiss to my inner thigh, almost reverent while I still pant for air.
“That’s my good girl,” he murmurs.
His praise makes me smile. If this is what I get for being his good girl, bring it on.
Through hooded eyes, I register Tiero reaching for protection. The faint sound of foil ripping reaches my ears. I watch him roll on a condom, and then he’s back over me.
He enters me slowly this time, with a steady, deliberate press that makes my breath stutter in my lungs all over again.
I’m still trembling from the last release, oversensitive and open, and the fullness of him feels almost too much.
Still, my legs tighten around his waist, pulling him closer, wanting every inch of him.
He moves at an unhurried pace. His lips brush my neck, then my cheek, then my mouth in small, lingering kisses.
It’s different from the other times we’ve been together today.
More intimate, more like making love than him taking me with rough hunger.
I lift my gaze to his, and for a moment get lost in his dark, hazel-brown eyes. To my surprise, I realize I want to be lost in them.
I want to stay here. Like this. Forever.
His forehead dips to mine, and we breathe the same air. Every movement feels synchronized. He stares into my eyes, unblinking and with an unfamiliar oneness.
I don’t know where I end and he begins.
Our rhythm deepens. Slow. Consistent. Building not from urgency but from connection.
My hands slide up his back, fingers wide, needing to anchor myself. The muscles beneath my palms flex with each movement.
Our breathing turns ragged, the air thick with soft sounds neither of us tries to suppress. Through it all, his eyes stay locked on mine.
He shifts slightly, rolling his hips, and the angle changes, finding something deeper inside me. Pleasure unfurls through every nerve, spreading outward in slow ripples.
My mouth opens on a soft moan I don’t recognize as my own.
“Come with me, angel,” he murmurs, his eyes never letting me go.
It’s not an order this time. More like an invitation.
His voice isn’t steady. There’s something raw beneath it, like he needs this as much as I do.
The pressure inside me builds. It’s not sharp or frantic. It’s rolling. Expanding.
When it crests, it isn’t explosive.
It’s surrender.
My body gives in all at once, pulsing around him in slow, overwhelming waves. I bury my face against his shoulder as sensations of pure bliss pour through me, my voice breaking against his skin.
He lets go with me, pressing in as deep as he can. A rough sound escapes him, and his arms close around me as if anchoring himself.
After a beat, he lifts his head just enough to look at me.
There’s something unguarded in his eyes. Like he wants me to see how deeply he feels this.
My heart goes into freefall. It’s hard to breathe.
There’s a closeness between us I’ve never experienced.
For a moment, neither of us moves.
He stays inside me, forehead resting against mine, both of us breathing hard, sharing the air between us.
His thumb brushes slowly along my jaw, and my hands move over his back, lingering over warm skin and steady muscles.
He kisses my lips tenderly before carefully withdrawing from my body. Even after we separate, there’s a lingering sense of being connected, like something invisible still binds us.
This wasn’t just sex. This was… more.
He disposes of the condom and rolls onto his back, tucking me against his chest as if that’s where I belong.
I fit there.
Too easily.
He tips my head up and kisses me softly, his fingers sweeping a loose strand of hair away from my face.
For the first time I can remember, I feel complete and whole… and fully satisfied.
My eyes find his when I pull my lips from his. There’s something new there. Something I don’t have a word for.
I don’t analyze it.
If I start thinking, I’ll unravel.
So I rest my head back against his chest and listen to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. His arm curves around my waist. When I shift, his hold tightens instinctively, like letting go isn’t even an option.
His fingers trace slow patterns along my spine, softer and slower, until they finally still.
His breathing evens out.
I stay awake a little longer, watching the soft light filtering through the room, aware of the strange fullness inside my chest.
I suspected sex with Tiero would be intense, that he would take me apart. He just emanates that kind of power.
But I didn’t expect this tenderness, nor that he would make me feel this safe afterward.
That part I wasn’t prepared for.
And it might be the most dangerous thing of all.
I press my lips lightly to his skin, close my eyes, and let sleep take me too.
