DECLAN

Song- Who I Was, V.I.P.N

A spark dances in her eyes.

“Say it.”

“I’ll burn with you.”

Pulling her lip back with my thumb, her eyes go wide as I toss the lighter over my shoulder and directly towards the desk.

“You better come quick, sweetheart,” I tell her, picking her up and slamming her back into the bookcase.

My lips crash over hers, and with one hard thrust, my dick glides all the way in.

“Watch the flames, baby. Feel the heat and come for me.”

With my fingers squeezing her throat, I sink in her hot pussy, each thrust earning me a moan.

Louder and louder.

“Declan!” she screams, nuzzling her face into my neck.

Yanking her head back by her hair, I see the fire dancing in her eyes. I don’t look behind.

I can feel the heat on my back.

I can hear the roar of the flames as it tears apart my desk.

“Come on, baby. Focus,” I grunt out as her pussy clenches around me.

“How good does it feel?” I whisper. She gasps as I pound into her.

“So good,” she moans.

“Fuck. You’re perfect, heartbreaker,” I mutter against her lips before stealing a kiss.

Letting her consume me the way the fire engulfs this room.

Pushing her thigh up towards her chest, I use that to push in deeper, harder. Enough to get her screaming.

I don’t have long.

“I’m about to explode inside you. Come with me or don’t come at all,” I hiss, feeling every muscle in my body tense.

“Now!” I roar, fucking her relentlessly, until I violently erupt.

I let her cries rip free through the room as I sink my teeth into her neck.

As I close my eyes, succumbing to the pleasure, the sprinkler system turns on.

Sprays of cold water smother us, but it doesn’t cool us down.

Our fire is from within.

Grabbing her face I kiss her with everything I have. Proving to her that she is mine.

I won’t lose her. I can’t.

I meant what I said.

I will burn with her.

“Oh my god, Declan.” She’s breathless as I stroke her damp face.

“Are you insane?” She blinks at me, the flush on her cheeks turning me on again.

Wiping away the water dripping down my forehead, I shake my head.

“Crazy for you. Or perhaps, because of you.”

As the sprinklers start to ease off, I lift her into my arms and sit her down on the couch. My cock already twitching to be back inside of her.

“Spread your legs,” I command.

She inches open her trembling legs and I get on my knees.

“Mine,” I growl, my head is between her legs, and I begin cleaning her up with my tongue.

“Declan!”

“You want me to stop?” I question, and she grins.

“Never.”

I smile, and my heart races.

“Be a good girl for daddy and ride my face. Help me clean up all the mess you made. And if you behave, I’ll let you suck my dick clean after.”

I wink at her, and she blushes, spreading her legs wider for me.

As soon as I start to feel her get close, I sit back on my heels.

“I think it’s time you paid for me wasting a perfectly good bottle of whiskey, baby. Turn over and get that ass in the air, daddy needs to punish his naughty girl properly.”

She bites down on her lip and I dig my fingers into her thigh.

“Each second you hesitate is another spanking. One… Two… Three...”

Before I can get to four, she scrambles around and rests her body on the couch, and her ass is now in front of my face.

“I’ll start easy. Ten.”

“What?” she exclaims.

I run my hands over the globes of her ass.

“Don’t pretend like you don’t love it.”

Sliding my hand between her legs, she’s dripping down her thighs, I thrust in two fingers. As she gasps, I spank her hard.

“Count,” I order her.

“O-one.”

“Good fucking girl.”

Adding my thumb circling her clit, I smack down again, admiring the red welts beginning to form.

“Two.”

My cock begs to be inside her.

By the time we get to seven, I’m almost panting as she squirms under my grip.

“What have you learned today?” I ask, rubbing her tender cheeks.

“That you’ll burn down a building to prove a point.”

She jolts forward as I slap her ass again.

“Eight. And wrong.”

“That I need to not be reckless. That we belong together. That I don’t want to ever leave you.” She cries out as I add a third finger inside her, stretching her nicely.

“Almost.”

Retrieving my fingers, I groan as I suck them clean.

“The lesson is, we burn together. We tear this fucking world down with our inferno. But that only works if we’re a team. No sacrifices. Let me in and let me help. We won’t make each other weaker, baby; it’s the opposite. We light each other's flames.”

I land one more spank and spin her to face me.

“This is petrifying. I know. But I promise you, I won’t let you down.” I look into her eyes and pour out my soul to her.

“You don’t need to pretend with me, Charlotte. I see you. I hear you. I won’t hurt you, I am not him.”

She nods and reaches out to cup my face.

“I never thought you made me weak. I just didn’t want you caught in the crossfire with Vlad. This isn’t your battle.”

Resting my hand over hers on my cheek, I close my eyes.

“The minute you walked into my life in Italy was the minute it became my battle.”
