REID

Had lying about Brittany really worked? I had hoped it would spark jealousy, but Tauren was giving herself to me.

She was saying we were together. Together…

for life. We were one. All I had to do was let her call the shots so she stayed in control in her mind, and she’d stay mine. She was choosing me.

I could barely believe it as I laid back in the middle of my bed.

My eyes were only for her. Every curve, every expression, every fucking lick of her tongue against her lips screamed to me that she was in her element.

She was nervous, slightly shy, even, but God her movements were intoxicating.

It was instinct. Tauren was in her element, and with how Emmett had decimated her over the years, she was embracing the power I was giving her.

Me.

The power…I gave her.

“I used to think about you all the time.” She paused, easing her knee on the side of the mattress, slowly crawling up like the seductress she was.

Her head dipped, and she flattened her tongue, licking and nipping at my inner thigh.

“It was wrong to touch myself and fantasize about you when I was with another man, but I couldn’t stop myself.

It didn’t matter that you were supposed to be my brother, or whether I started with you in mind or not.

It always turned into you. It’s always going to be you, Reid. ”

Her finger brushed over the wetness from her lick, and she paused, still making a path towards my cock with her light touch.

“I used to wonder if you thought about me like that too. That maybe wherever you were, you were touching yourself to the fantasy of me. Did you ever do that?”

“All the time. Always.”

My cock jerked as her fingertips brushed over my balls.

Where I wanted more of her touch, she climbed higher until she was straddling me and grasping to hold to each of my wrists.

She lifted, moving them above my head. The squeeze from her hold had me trying to move her against me.

Anything that would bring her attention back to my cock.

“I think the hardest part about this is the acceptance.” Her eyes lifted, and she looked at me through thick lashes.

“I told Steve that my brother and I got into a fight. The word was almost impossible to say… because… it wasn’t how I felt.

I didn’t want to call you that. I wanted you to be anyone but my answer. I wanted you to be more.”

“ I am more .” My head lifted to kiss her, but at her shake, I grew still.

Tauren shifted, and I followed her every move as she dipped in close.

Her breasts were nearly in my face, and I did lift again, sucking her nipple into my mouth.

The click was quickly followed by another set of grinding clicks.

It had my eyes shooting open as Tauren drew back to look at me.

Immediately, I drew my hands down, feeling the metal catch around my wrists.

“Taur…where—What are you doing?”

I looked towards my door, feeling my head shake in a sickening panic at what I feared. Had she lied about her feelings to get me cuffed? Had this all been a ruse for her to prove some sort of point?

“Where… That’s actually what you wanted to ask. You want to know where I got the cuffs. We both know the answer to that.”

“I can explain.”

“You don’t need to. I already understand.”

“You don’t. Taur, this isn’t funny.”

“It’s not meant to be. How do you think I felt when I unlocked that door?”

Shame. Betrayal. I felt my heart nearly collapse into itself. “I told you not to worry about it. To keep out. But this… How could you?—”

Lips crushed into mine, and my mind spun even more as she rocked her hips against me. I should turn away. I was angry, hurt at her revenge, but her kiss was stealing parts of me. My sanity. My rage. My pain.

“You were never going to let me leave.”

I jerked against the cuffs. “I told you that from the beginning. I never lied to you.”

She reached under my pillow, sitting and shifting as she adjusted so that she was sitting on my upper thighs. Leather strands close to a foot long trailed over my chest, and heat took over my face.

There was no denying it now… She had found her way into my secret room, and now she was using it against me.

“Taur, stop this. You’re mad. You want revenge. What are you planning to do? Hurt me? You’re already doing that.”

“Am I?” The strands didn’t stop caressing back and forth at her slow swings.

Tauren didn’t even look at my face as she continued.

“I’ve had hours to think over this. Over us.

” Her eyes lifted to mine and the look sent my blood racing even hotter.

“I said I understand, and I do. You wanted to try to brand your love into my body so that I could see it. Maybe to make me see my own. Am I right?”

My brows drew in, and my attention went to my name on her chest. Bleeding, raw…. all me . And now she wanted this other part of me as well? “Taur.”

“Answer.”

“Yes. I wanted you to see it. To feel it.”

“Alright.” She nodded. “Me first.”

She placed the flogger down, easing to lay across my chest so that her face was inches from mine. The pressure against my cock had me moving into her.

“I’m showing you that you don’t need to restrain me so that I don’t run. Reid, I’m not going anywhere. And neither are you. From here on out, we’re in this together. You may be willing to go as far as it takes to make sure I can’t escape?—”

“Because you’re mine.”

“ And you’re mine . So tonight, you’re going to see that. Every inch of you will know who it belongs to by the time I’m finished, and come morning, you’ll have no more doubt. Are you ready?”

“Depends. Are you my girlfriend?”

“This isn’t starting off in your favor, Reid. I believe I’m the one asking questions.”

Tauren grabbed the small flogger and crawled off the bed, standing.

Leather strands barely made contact as they slowly made their way over my chest and throbbing cock.

When she reached my thighs, her arm drew back and an inferno branched against my skin.

She didn’t go easy. She didn’t hold back.

I almost couldn’t believe the power behind her swing.

Heat grew a heartbeat as it mixed with the lust of her bloody form beginning to pace.

The moan that left me couldn’t be stopped.

I never saw her flipping our roles. I never imagined this.

“How long have you been planning to keep me?”

“Taur—”

Whack!

I sucked in air, my eyes going wide with the new fire.

“ Fuck. Two years? Maybe closer to three?”

The side of her mouth pulled back, and she lowered over my thigh, kissing against the welts that were already surfacing. The rumble that shook my entire body only added to the agony from the twisted arousal.

“How often did you imagine marking up my body like this? Showing your love for me?”

“All the time. Every day.”

The tip of her tongue followed one of the thick, red lines.

“Do you still think about me covered in your claim? That’s the most important part to you, right? To see who I belong to?”

“Yes.”

She rose, bringing the flogger down hard over my other thigh. I winced, thrusting my hips as I let the cuffs cut into my wrists.

“I asked you two questions. Is that your answer for both? I want clarification, Reid. Boyfriends are supposed to be clear on their intentions.”

My lips parted, and my heart twisted in disbelief with a spike of excitement.

“Boyfriend…”

“That’s right. You’re my boyfriend. Answer.”

“Please say it again.”

“Boyfriend. Answer.”

“ Yes . Yes, to both.”

She slowly nodded, keeping my stare as she lowered, running her tongue along my balls. I hissed, my sounds only increasing as she brought her tongue to slide up my length.

“This isn’t going to be easy. You know that, right? Me. You. Staying… I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to run anymore.”

“We don’t have to. Taur, I’ll protect you. I’ll protect us. ”

“People will talk?—”

“Fuck them. Let them.”

She grew quiet, lifting to bring up the flogger again.

The heat branched out, engulfing my thighs.

I fisted my hands, half moaning, half surrendering to the pain that left me getting harder by the second.

Darkness took over as I shut my eyes, and Tauren’s touch as she began using her nail to scratch a

T

and

A

over my chest had me pulling down on the cuffs. I fed from the stinging that followed. I let it all take over every part of who I was as she finished her name.

Whack!

Whack!

One thigh.

Nails raking across my abs.

Back to flogging the other thigh.

Precum pooled.

My cock repeatedly twitched as she started scratching in her name on a new area of my stomach.

My entire body hummed and begged for something. Anything . Tauren seemed to know that as she took her time teasing and kissing over the throbbing, heated flesh.

“Fuck. Baby, please. God, I need you. Come up here. I want to taste you.”

“Who am I?”

The cuffs clanked as I fought against the restraint. The moment I lifted my leg to try to draw her closer, she let the flogger connect.

“Who am I?”

“My girlfriend. My lover. My future. ”

“And who are you?”

I bit against my bottom lip, lifting my foot once again towards the edge where she sat. The fire had me cursing.

“I’m your boyfriend. Your protector.” A smile tugged back my lips. “Your stalker. Your killer, if I need to be.”

Tauren’s lids narrowed, and she laid down the flogger, slowly crawling up the bed.

“Repeat that.”

“I bet you’re so wet. Let me taste. Touch yourself and let me see.”

“Reid—”

I melted into the mattress. A big part of myself said to shut the fuck up, but I wasn’t so sure I should.

Worst case scenario, Tauren came to her senses and backtracked on her feelings.

It was too late for that. I knew of her love.

Besides, it wasn’t as if she’d escape me.

Even if she left, I’d find her. I was never letting her go.

“I said, I’m your boyfriend. Your protector. Your stalker, and your killer.”

“Stalker? Have… you been following me around?”

“You seem surprised. You shouldn’t be. Think about it, baby. Haven’t I always?”

I expected to see anger or uncertainty like in the past. I saw nothing but need. I saw awe. Intrigue.

“I never stopped following you, and I never will. When I say you’re mine, I’m not feeding you empty words, Tauren.

My claim is bone deep. It’s as reliable as a bullet.

You can fear my devotion, but you can’t outrun it.

So… who am I? I’m the man who will hunt you for the rest of your life…

and the one you will always let catch you. ”
