Page 24 of Only Everything (The Obsession #1)

TAUREN

It was a surrender. An inner concession. A release from a part of my past I used to not be able to stomach.

Finally… acceptance.

Nancy would be proud. My true healing was only just beginning.

Maybe it wasn’t the safest or most traditional path to take to claim my power, but it sure felt like it was the best choice for me and Reid.

I had him—he had me. We were together, enacting roles that gave us control in a way we hadn’t had the chance of finding before.

With me making the marks, I wasn’t just putting the proof of my vows on Reid.

I was making myself an equal in this twisted new world I’d created for him.

I knew his darkest secrets, and I wasn’t allowing him to use them against me.

I was facing them head on. He had to know where I stood.

In truth, it was where we were both the safest.

“I think I like you like this.” I pushed Reid’s legs wider as I settled between them. Lowering, I pressed my lips to his abdomen, feeling his cock jerk against my breast.

“Fuck. Come higher or…lower. I need—” Reid let out a moan, pulling against the cuffs.

He could have easily used his legs to try to force me in the direction he wanted like before, but he didn’t.

He let me kiss and bite into his skin as I took my time, marking him even more.

He’d hiss or gasp, and I’d smile, moving on. It was right. It was… emboldening.

“Say exactly what you need, Reid.”

I raked my nails down his sternum and stomach, running my tongue up the length of his cock as he let out a rumbling groan.

“I need to taste you. I need—Sit on my face. Dammit, Taur. You’re driving me crazy.”

“You want me on your face?” I lifted, crawling up until I was on my knees level with his chest. “What will you do for me if I give this to you?”

“Anything. Everything. Tell me what you want. I’ll do it.”

I didn’t answer. Slowly, I nodded. I went to throw my leg over, pausing as my brain screamed at my actions.

To sit facing forward was automatic. I had to see some part of Reid’s face so that my mind didn’t try to trick me.

But I wasn’t a victim anymore. I wasn’t Tauren, the scared girl who fought as hard as she could.

This was the new me. The braver me. If I was ever going to fully embrace my true power, it had to be here, right now.

“Slow,” I ground out. “Calm.”

Reid seemed confused, but didn’t speak before I turned, throwing my leg to rest on the other side of his head. I lowered, gripping around his length as I fought the sickening adrenaline that left me shaking.

“Fuck, I love you so much.”

Hot air breathed against me, and pressure from Reid’s lips pressed against my inner thigh. He wiggled, moving further down and bringing me with him. I lowered, licking my tongue over his cock as he continued to kiss towards my pussy.

“Slow your breathing, Taur, and say you love me too.” My head flew up, and I gasped as he mirrored me, sinking his teeth into my thigh. He was pulling me from the fear—protecting me even if it brought me pain.

“I love you.”

Reid sucked hard against my skin, letting go and moving to my pussy as he began to trace his tongue from my opening to my clit.

The pleasure had me spreading wider as I rocked against him.

My head dipped back down and the throbbing, sting stole my consuming thoughts as I lowered, taking Reid’s cock deep into my mouth.

“Holy… fuck .” More he licked and sucked against me. Even his own hips were moving as he thrust into my mouth. “I’m going to fill you up so good, baby. I’m going to fuck?—”

“Me.” I lifted my head but continued to flick my tongue over the tip. “ I’m going to.”

“To what?”

“ To fuck you. ”

“Say it again.”

I tightened my fist around Reid’s thickness, stroking as I sucked. I took my time, not answering as I lost myself to his teasing. He had to see I did things when I was ready. On my own terms. Minutes passed. I savored the desperation as he fought the restraints.

Empowerment.

Safety.

Lust.

I lifted and climbed off him, not able to take it anymore.

“ Now… I’m going to fuck you.”

Reid’s chest rose and fell deeply. There was a tint of red to his face, and he repeatedly licked his lips. His eyes tracked my every move, slightly crazed, completely possessive.

“Unlock me. I’ll make it so good for you. You won’t regret it.” He gripped to the bars as I settled my leg over his waist. At the shake of my head, he swallowed hard and nodded, holding tighter to the metal. I could see his fight to gain control, and I saw his acceptance as I took it away.

“Do you see yet?” I leveled the head of his cock against my opening, slowly sinking down as he stretched me. “I love you. I want you. Whose name is on my chest?”

The pain and pleasure on his face as I brought him even deeper burned into my mind, my heart. He was seeing. He wanted so strongly to believe.

“Mine.”

“Yes. Your name. And why do I have your name?”

“Because we’re together now. Forever. ”

“Yes.” I leaned forward, tracing my fingers down his carved-up forearm, burying him in me as I kept eye contact. “And who am I?”

“ You’re mine .”

“No one else’s,” I added. “We’re going to make this work, no matter what.

But I need you to promise you’re going to help me, just like I promise I’ll help you.

We’re each other’s strength now. We’re honest about everything.

This is the only way we’ll work.” I lowered my chest, rolling my hips as I began to ride his cock. “I want this to work, Reid.”

“It will.” His knees drew up as his feet planted on the bed.

“This will work because I won’t let anything ruin it.

I’m going to make you happy. You’ll see.

It’ll be perfect, because we’re perfect together.

” Reid’s head lifted, and I met his lips, letting him push his tongue deep into my mouth.

My orgasm built until I was pulling back and crying out.

“And you’ll give this to me? You’ll give me you, like this?”

Reid was back to kissing me, moaning into my mouth.

“Fuck yes. Take me whenever you want. I’ll take you .

” He thrust hard, and my body immediately spasmed.

It had Reid pulling back against his cuffs as he thrust into me faster.

Wave after wave hit me until I could barely see straight.

“I want to take you too, Taur. I want—Fuck. God . Sit up, I need to see it. I want to see it.”

I didn’t need to ask what he meant.

I lifted, digging my nails into his pecs.

My body was tingling with a high I wasn’t sure I’d felt before.

I flattened my feet and moved up and down his cock letting my effects on Reid feed me.

I let him see his name. I let him watch his cock slide in and out of me.

I knew from the thickness how bad he was fighting his need to come.

But that wasn’t happening inside of me. Not this time.

Easing up, I moved to his side, lowering to take him back into my mouth .

“You’re trying to kill me. I’d die like this. I’d die for you, Taur.” A deep growl. It was the fight. Maybe the insanity I knew lingered for him, concerning me.

“This is what I want.” The taste of both of us consumed me as I sucked him in deeper, teasing him again with my tongue at every withdrawal. “I want every drop of you. I want you in me in all ways. Everywhere. Everyday.”

“Fuck. Fuck.”

His breathing turned faster, and I stroked and brought him more into my throat.

Reid’s head went back and forth. It lifted, only to fall back, only to lift again so he could keep watching.

I felt every second he tried to cling to, and I knew the moment he couldn’t hold out any longer.

My mouth opened, exposing my tongue, and I continued to stroke him, watching his jaw drop.

“Jesus. Taur .”

Cum shot into my mouth, pumping the warmth all over my tongue.

I swallowed, seeing Reid’s eyes grow even heavier through the pleasure.

Sweat drenched his hair, and his body was trembling as he jolted through the last stroke.

Words didn’t come. They didn’t have to as I reached to open the end table, pulling out the key.

I barely had both wrists unlocked before Reid was flipping me onto my back.

Silence.

For what seemed an eternity passed as we stared into each other’s eyes.

Maybe I expected him to turn into a savage.

I wasn’t sure what he would do once I set him free.

All Reid managed was to give me an expression I hadn’t witnessed from him before.

Love, yes, but it was more than that. There was a stillness amid the storm.

A peace—or a deadly calm. I wasn’t sure as he lowered, gently brushing his lips over mine.

“This is right. You won’t regret this, Tauren. You made the right choice.”

“Choice.” I blinked through the word. Through the mass of emotions that came with it. “I used to think life held nothing but falls. Every choice I made was wrong. Every decision held consequences that killed me.”

“And now?”

Worry still lingered in the depths of his gray eyes. He was so guarded, so ready for me to decimate him again. I wasn’t going to do that. Not to him, and not to me.

“Don’t you see? That’s the problem. The moment I fell, I should have known my place. I didn’t, and I paid. We both did. I’m sorry for that. When I fell for you, I was scared. I’m not afraid anymore. I know where I want to be, and that’s at your side.”

“Forever?”

“And ever.”
