Dom Wars Round Five (13 page)

I watched on, cringing at the whelps covering his back, beginning to bleed. Shit.
"I can't do that," Tara whispered. "I can't. Oh God, I'm going to be sick, Lucian."

I thought she
'd meant figuratively until she leaned and vomited right next to me. I held her hair back as she retched up her guts.

"
Guys, it's a fucking flogging, I've had much worse," the preacher said.

Finally Steve was done. He threw the offending flogger down and wiped his hands on his pants while searching for a place to sit, looking light-headed.

I walked up to preacher and looked at him. "She shouldn't have to do this. Let me take hers?"

Preacher stared at me for many seconds.
"Sure man."

I stared at him.
"Why are they disciplining you?"

He let out a slow grin.
"I wasn't supposed to stick around that night when the wolves almost ate your ass."

Confusion slowly morphed into shock.
"Why…then what…" I shook my head.

"
I heard the wolves, Bane. I'm not stupid." His breaths were labored from the pain and strain he was under. "And I'm not a fucking sadist. Fuck them. You hear me? Look me in the eyes Bane. I'm not like that. I'm the fucking Top Dom for so much more than that, my brother. And somebody in the grading system knows that." He winked. "Now get your ass back there and give me a hundred."

I was rooted to the spot though, unable to move. Here stood my father with all that military arrogance, and yet…a man that had used that very harshness…
for
me. "You knew you'd get this?"

"
Bane, please. Let's not have a tea party right here about it, my arms are getting a little tired.

But I couldn
't. I didn't understand. I had to understand. "So you…disobeyed to protect me? Is… that what you're fucking saying? And you knew you were going to get this?"

He lowered his head and shook it a little.
"What do you want from me Bane? A fucking wedding ring?"

I gasped a laugh and lowered my head, trying to get a hold of my emotions.
"It's just… I just…" Pain closed my throat, making my breaths come hard and fast. "My old man… you know?" My voice strangled. "He… he never… fuck." I gasped and swallowed down the wall of emotions.

"
Bane, look at me,” he firmly mumbled. “You're a good man. God has big plans for you. That much I
do
know."

I looked at him, fear hitting me at the realization he meant it. He
'd said it before when I thought he was nuts. But now… now I knew he wasn't and I was fucking terrified. What the
fuck
did God want with
me?

"
Now can you please finish? I'd like to hit the river before we leave for a swim."

The idea of swimming after having his flesh torn from his back was fucking agonizing just to think about. Was he a… masochist? Like me?

Maybe so, after all that
failure.
That shit didn't just go away. Not for me. And my failures were transferred by another human
onto me
, so it'd make a lot of sense in his case. But I had to play a fucking sadist? I wasn't a fucking sadist. I went with the flogger and paced behind him then stopped when Becca intercepted me.

"
Peace, peace." She grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eyes and again, emotion overcame me out of the blue. What the fuck was wrong with me? "He does this for the children. We both do. Their need is greater than any pain. True Dominance begins in here," she touched my chest, "not here." She touched my bicep. "This power is a gift. To be used to protect and nurture those you love.  And submission is the mate of dominance. The two are destined for marriage."

She finished with a smile and I stood there not much better off than before. She
'd just added to my dumbfounded state of mind with all that… truth. I didn't know what else to call it, I just knew it was true. What she said. Though I didn't understand it completely, I felt it was right and my mind had to catch up to that.

She turned me and placed me where I needed to stand.

"Becca, any time this year, baby. My arms are getting pissed."

I took a few breaths and began whipping him, fighting for the strength to do it. Anger, anything. But all I could think about was how he saved my life from the wolves. How he
'd disobeyed to get this right here. The only thing that helped me go on was thinking he
had
to be a masochist. Nobody did that shit without being a fucking masochist. That had to play a part in it. So, in a way, even if it was a sick one, I was helping him if that were true.

Despite that, by the time I was done, I was really done. Undone. On my knees fighting back an avalanche of unexplainable emotion. I felt so… dirty for what I
'd just done. It was wrong. Beating an innocent man. Because he'd saved my life. Fuck.

I heard Preacher let out several
strained breaths as he headed into the woods with Becca after him. Tara knelt next to me and put her arms around my shoulders. I turned into her, not caring where I was and who saw. I turned into her, putting my face in the safety of her chest, next to her immaculate sweet heart.

"
Shhh, you're okay."

Her words finished me off and I broke and wept like a fucking baby.

"I know, I know," she cooed.

I had no words. None. I had nothing but heartache. Bitter, burning, heartache. And I wasn
't entirely sure why.

Chapter Sixteen

"
We get to spend the last night in a
hotel?"
Steve stared out the window and watched the extravagant hotel through the window like a child.

"
Yep. Luxury on the last night," Preacher said.

"
And
showers.
" Becca gave a light moan of joy that snagged the preacher's attention and he leaned in for a kiss.

I knew that need and that sound. Images of me having Tara in the shower, the bed, on the vanity, making her sweet noises, riddled my body. Jesus Christ I couldn
't fucking wait.

Preacher stretched a leg out and looked at me.
"By the way, I just found out we'll be meeting the final round of contestants tomorrow."

The low rumble in his voice held something I wasn
't sure about. Like he had a reason for telling me but I wasn't sure why.

"
How many teams are left?" Tara asked.

"
Seven." Preacher's voice was grim. "Five go on out of the seven." "Can you believe we made it this far?" Tara said to me.

"
You know there can be only one winner, right?" The preacher eyed us with a hint of sympathy.

"
Hm, yes," Tara said. "A million dollars is a lot of money, Preacher. I don't mind sharing."

He let out a slow grin followed by a deep rumble of easy laughter.
"Well, that's good to hear Miss Tara. But I mind."

She gave a solemn nod.
"I can understand."

So could I. In fact, after hearing his story, I felt like we were playing against a village of starving kids. The picture he
'd painted had marked my mind, it was like I was standing with him in that little room when he first met them. Did Tara feel the same? The fact she mentioned sharing told me she did and had already planned to share if we won. God, I wanted to fuck her for that. Sweet angel.

We checked into the hotel and all went into our respective rooms, with Steve grinning that wild grin the entire way. The second I shut our room door, I turned to find Tara
's nude backside standing at the bathroom door and her looking over her shoulder with an inviting smile.

I ripped my shirt off and stumbled my way to the bathroom after her. Once in the shower, she giggled with both hands up in guard.
"Shower first."

I devoured her curves with my gaze and moved her into the stream, kissing her while wetting her hair and blindly reaching for the little shampoo. The sound of needs being barely met filled the shower as I poured the shampoo on her head and began to lather, my mouth not leaving hers.

She finally smiled and pushed me away and I grinned at how she looked. "Let me hurry," she half croaked.

"
I'll wash your body." I grabbed the soap bottle.

"
Dear God…be nice."

"
Oh sweetheart. Fuck no, I'm going to be cruel." I poured a handful of the liquid soap in my hands and lathered up, starting at the very tip of her hard nipples. She answered my cruelty with a gasp while quickly rinsing her hair. I cupped her breasts, groaning at how fucking good they felt in my hands then slid my palms slowly down her sides, then hips, roaming over her ass next, then lower to her thighs. "Way too fucking beautiful. How can you just be standing here so fucking beautiful?" I whispered.

She suddenly clung to my neck, allowing the hungry slide of my hands along every curve of her sweet body.
"God, I need you." The throaty moan drove my desire to
all mine, right fucking now.

"
Fucking rinse before I die." Shit, what was I thinking, I smelled like a caveman. I soaped my own body while she did the rinse dance under the stream and by the time she was done, I switched places with her while Tara returned the torment with her own hands all over me, hungry and demanding at every hardened contour and ridge.

"
Did I ever tell you how beautiful your cock is?" She gasped the words while stroking it and looking between us.

I bared my teeth and pumped my hips, the head of my cock hitting her lower tummy.

"I need to suck it, Lucian."

Fuck, so unfair what she did to me. Stole the power from me with her fucking sweet voice that was literally painful to refuse.

"Get on your knees." I used the uncompromising tone I'd chosen for come on command and she whimpered, doing as I said. "You're ready to do as I say, love?"

"
Yes." The desperate gasp of consent speared my balls with heat as she stared eagerly at my cock while I rinsed.

Jesus, being in control was so fucking hard when the insane need to ram my cock deep into her soft pussy screamed in my blood and bones with a barbaric fervor. I placed one foot on the side of the tub.
"Cup my balls with your right hand."

She did as I said, her fingers delicately feeling while cupping at the same time. I stroked the hair along her face, watching, fighting to think.
"Wet the tip of your finger on my cock."

She bit her lip and swirled her finger slowly over the slit, making me gasp from the fire it produced.
"Feels good?"

"
No talking," I barely managed. "I want you to stroke my ass with that finger now." It was her turn to moan as she complied, sliding her wet finger over my ass, making the muscle contract. I held the base of my cock. 'Close your mouth. I want to kiss your lips with my dick."

She continued to rub her finger slowly on my ass, barely pushing on the opening for the perfect torment while I stroked the head of my cock along her lips, so fucking supple in surrender. Fire rippled in my groin now.

"Lick the slit, baby. Use the tip of your tongue and make me fucking out of my mind hot." She moaned as she obeyed, her torment getting more eager on my ass, her fingers on my balls moving in a milking motion. "Do it," I growled. "Fuck my ass now. Slowly." I held on to her head with my free hand. "Open your mouth now, I'm ready to have you suck the fuck out of me, are you ready for that? To have your pretty mouth fucked with my cock?" She opened wide and took me in. "You want the head of my dick here?" I pushed to the back of her throat and she gave a high pitched moan, moving her finger deep into my ass, stroking that spot behind my balls with her other hand.

My choked roar erupted followed
by a long hiss. I pumped my cock in and out with long strokes. Desire reached that insane level, the one that stole my ability to focus and play little games with her. "I know your clit is so fucking hard right now, isn't it?"

She managed to give a frantic nod, her moans constant as I picked up speed.
"Suck me good, and don't stop fucking my ass, just like that, nice and deep, ffffffuck yes." I pulled her hair now with my hand, making her suck the head of my cock rapidly before sliding in deep and hitting her throat. "You're so fucking bad, love, do you know that? Do you know it's fucking impossible to play with you? Fuck my ass faster, Tara, I'm going to fucking come in your mouth." The words were a strangled growl as I pumped my hips, making her teeth scrape along my cock. I bared my teeth, watching her lips encase my cock, the furrow in her brows telling the demand I was putting on her and yet knowing how much she fucking loved it. "God, Tara!" I barked the final words and threw back my head, letting the orgasm rock me, letting her do whatever the fuck she wanted because I no longer cared, just so I came all over, all over her.

I ended with my back against the shower and her kissing her way up my body while I fought to regain consciousness from the mind altering orgasm. Her hot mouth was finally on mine, eating up my gasps with a desperate hunger.

I grabbed a handful of her hair. "You need to be fucked so bad, don't you."

"
God, please, yes!"

"
You made me lose control, love." I slid my finger slowly inside her for a sensual stroke along her core. "And I'm going to do the same to you. By. Fucking. Command," I said in her mouth, jabbing at her core now.

Poor baby was too close. She latched one hand to my wrist and the walls of her hot pussy clenched my finger and began to tremble. Fuck, she
'd been so close already. I didn't stop her and pressed my palm against her clit and used vicious flicks of my finger on her core to bring her all the way.

She cried my name over and over and over as she came for the longest time. Every gasp spearing my heart and mind with joy and fucking… pride. That I could do that for her. Me. I had
to be something, something amazing if I could do that. Surely. Because her in orgasm was a work of sheer magnificence to me. 

I was so rock hard by the time she
'd shuddered her last. My body hummed with the need to get serious. "Now I'm going to fuck you, baby. Turn the fuck around and hold on to the wall."

She quickly obeyed and I hissed at the way she lifted her ass for it. I brought my hand down hard on it for a firm spank. She cried out and turned her head to try and see.

I teased slowly up and down her slit with my cock while soothing the sting in her ass with my hand. "Your body is trembling for this," I whispered.

"
Yes, yes," she half gasped.

I splayed my hand over her ass and pressed her tight hole with my thumb.
"Just the head for now." I pushed my dick so that only my head moved in and out then began to do the same motion with my thumb in her ass. "You love my finger in your ass baby?"

"
God, Lucian," she cried weakly, looking over her other shoulder now.

"
You like to see me finger it, love? See my cock in your sweet body?"

"
I do, I do."

"
Yes you do." I hissed, moving the head in and out, loving how hot it made me. "Your ass feels good when it sucks at my finger. So eager." I pressed my finger and cock in deeper. "So fucking desperate." I brought my hand down again in a firm spank.

She cried out and her pussy clamped my cock harder, her ass begging for deeper penetration. She began rubbing her clit, gasping and moaning uncontrollably.

I spanked her again. "Keep your hands on the wall. No coming until I say."

She cried out and put her hands back.

"So fucking obedient, sweetheart." I soothed her ass with the same hand, giving her a few more inches of my finger and cock for a reward. "You're shuddering on me, I love that. Love to feel your body quaking for me, begging for me. Put your leg on the tub now."

She did as I said and I angled my cock toward the access she presented.

"I'm going to go deep baby, are you ready? So fucking deep. And then I'm going to go hard. And then I'm going to go fast. Keep your hands on the wall. Keep them high."

Her moans were nearing orgasm and incessant. I couldn
't help be amazed at how fucking aroused she was. I slid my hand to her clit and found it hard and throbbing as I'd expected.

"
Oh God, touch it, please baby."

"
Oh sweetheart." I swirled the pad of my middle finger softly over the tight bud. "I need to fucking suck this. Lick it with my tongue." I flicked my finger over it in demonstration.

"
Jesus Lucian, fuck me. Oh my God, I beg you."

My cock gave a vicious throb at those desperate words.
"Touch my hand Tara. Feel what I'm doing to your sweet clit."

She reached down and held her fingers on my hand, following the slow rhythm I tormented her with.

"Please."

I glanced up at hearing the fragile plea in her voice. It might as well have been her safe word in my mind.
I can't take any more, I need you to give me what I have to have.
It was her hard lines but in reverse. Love me. Devastate me. Overcome me. Saturate me with your Dominance, but God, do it now.

Not wanting to throw all my efforts away, I slid in very slowly and sank my finger deeper into her ass as I did.
"Okay love, get ready." I gritted my teeth against the heat pulsating in my balls and ass. "Play with your clit now." She gasped and obeyed as I picked up speed. "My cock is glistening with you," I said in awe, watching. "Rub your nipples too baby. Just like I do. Fucking good girl, that's it. I know you're close," I half growled, "wait for my command."

"
Oh God," she cried.

"
Fucking wait for it." I moved faster inside her. "I'm hitting fucking bottom baby, fucking so good. Your ass is so fucking tight on my finger."

"
Lucian!"

"
Wait!" I barked, slamming into her now as I reached and scraped my nails along her spine. "Come for me!"

The explosion was fucking immediate, before my nails made it all the way down. I grabbed her shoulder and held her in place while I did what I
'd fucking been dying to do, just ram my cock so hard and fast in her sweet body while she came undone on me.

My orgasm hit me like a rogue missile, erupting at the base of my cock and shooting into my ass before locking my muscles down for that thrilling ten second ride to the edge of the universe.
