At least not like this.

I moved slowly, pushing in an inch at a time until I hit the ring of muscle. She sucked in her breath, her back heaving from her rapid breaths.

My entire body was shaking from another rush of adrenaline, but my control was slipping once again. I finished thrusting the remainder inside her asshole and flicked my finger across her taut nipple.

She moaned, her hardened bud obviously sensitive. I twisted the tender tissue as I pulled my dick so only the tip was inside. When I thrust into her again, she let out an intense cry.

“Fuck. You are… So huge,” she whispered and I tweaked her other nipple.

“My cock fits you perfectly.” I don’t know why I made the announcement. Even though I’d enjoy keeping her as a possession, a toy on the shelf to take down and play with from time to time, we weren’t destined to stride into forever arm and arm.

She’d eventually find a way of killing me even if we’d experienced some past incident. But I could enjoy the thought of locking her in a cage or keeping her on a collar and leash as long as it was possible. Besides, she would look beautiful wearing a studded collar. Rubies, not diamonds. The vivid color would be a perfect accent to her dazzling hair.

I thrust inside again, using more force this time. We were both pitched forward and she rested her cheek against the bed. With her breath still labored, I leaned over, pressing kisses against her bare shoulder.

Her eyelids fluttered to life and the slight smile shifted into a smirk. If she had the chance, I had a feeling she’d enjoy a rousing round of sex then drive a blade into my heart. Better yet, she’d carve a ragged hole and rip the muscle out with her bare hand.

The thought kept me smiling as I continued fucking her, the long and even plunges accentuated with sounds of skin against skin.

Only her heavy panting brought me down from my glorious daydream. Pulling back, I gripped both her hips, holding her in place as I fucked like some crazed animal.

Around her, it seemed the total control I’d had in my life like a suit of steel armor was slipping. Because of her or in spite of her? The answer wasn’t clear.

I continued fucking her for as long as my body would tolerate. She’d be raw and tender, her bottom sore for hours. The thought was a final push and I had no desire to hold on any longer.

With my fingers digging into her skin, I erupted deep inside.

The only thing missing was an ass plug. My beautiful guest should be required to remain filled with my cum for the rest of the day.

As the thought lingered in my mind, I pulled her down with me, wrapping one leg around hers and jerking up the covers. While sleep wasn’t possible, enjoying the scent we shared would be the indulgence I needed.

Then we would have a long conversation. If she didn’t provide the truth, my lovely Fallon would get her first taste of true punishment.

Maybe the brutal thought, not something rare in my world, was the very reason I’d spent over twenty years alone.

Entirely alone.

CHAPTER 16

Navarro

Family.

The sense of togetherness, the extension of one’s self.

An ache remained in my heart where it had been for twenty years and would remain for the rest of my life. I’d failed her once. That would never happen again.

“Maya. It’s Navarro. How are you, baby?”

She giggled and I took a deep breath. It was always good to hear her laugh, especially when there’d been so many times when she hadn’t made a single sound. “Fine.”

“I’m so glad to hear it. Are you eating well?”

“Mmm… Some. Pudding.”

Her favorite. “Chocolate. How could I forget?”

“Nope. Butterscotch.”
