His Demands (19 page)

Almost a full minute passed before
he could speak. “Yes, but I can’t, Kaela. I just can’t.”

Her eyes opening wide, she blinked
several times and finally shook her head. “So that’s it? I’m dismissed? You are
just shutting down completely?”

Broden glanced toward the water, a
myriad of thoughts racing in the back of his mind. “There isn’t a future for
us. There just isn’t.” He could see the look of hurt on her face and he longed
to break free of the noose around his neck, but the fear was too great. “I’m
sorry.” A few minutes passed by and he was aching, long to take her into his
arms.

Kaela nodded over and over again.
“Not as much as I am for allowing you into my life.” She stumbled backward
before turning around and racing toward the house.

For a few seconds he stood still,
simply watching the woman of his dreams, the woman he was desperately in love
with leaving him and his life and he had no doubt permanently. Suddenly he
heard her voice and her laughter. Samantha. He didn’t need to hear her words to
understand her blessing. Smiling, he wiped his tears and ran toward her.
Sweeping her off her feet, he struggled to keep her in his arms.

“No! Let me go. I don’t this. I
don’t want you!” Kaela moaned, beating his chest with her fists.

“No, you’re right.”

“Let me go!” Wiggling hard, she
almost tumbled out of his arms.

“Stop.
Kaela.”
Grabbing the back of her head, he did the only thing he knew to do. He crushed
her mouth with his.

She continued to struggle, her mews
and moans floating between them, her fingers clawing into his chest.

Broden held her tightly, sliding his
tongue inside her mouth. She fought him hard for several seconds. When she
finally relinquished control, she slipped her arm around his neck, tears
slipping from her eyes. He took long strides toward the house and while he
wasn’t certain what the hell he was doing, he knew he couldn’t be without her
ever again. Breaking the kiss, he bounded up the outside stairs two at a time,
kicking open the door with his foot.

“Broden.”

“Ssshhh… No more talking.” As he
walked into the bedroom and eased her down on her feet, he brushed his hands down
her arms, intertwining their fingers. “This isn’t about control or domination
or anything but making love with the woman who’s stolen my heart.”

Her smile timid, she took a step
back and slowly drew her dress over her shoulders, allowing gravity to take the
material to the floor. She slipped two fingers under the thin elastic of her
thong and eased the silk down her hips, stepping out of the slender confines.

“God, you’re beautiful.” Broden had
never seen a more luscious woman in his life. Tugging his shirt from his waistband,
he jerked it over his shoulder and could barely manage to get his shorts off.
He had to have, needed to be inside of her. Hunger coursing through every cell
in his body, he shuddered as he walked closer, knowing this was the defining
moment, one that would forever change the course of their relationship. He had
to give her his all. She deserved no less. When he gathered her into his arms, sliding
his hands down her back and cupping her ass, he tingled, excitement roaring
through him in a way he hadn’t felt in years. She’d unlocked something deep
within him and he was alive again, eager.

Moaning, she arched her back,
pressing her body against his. Shifting back and forth, her nipples scraped
against his chest.

Broden slipped his hand behind her
head, pulling her forward until their lips merely touched. Licking across the
seam of her mouth, he dragged them both backwards toward the bed. Easing back,
he cupped and kneaded her breasts, watching her expression, the way her lips
curled. There were so many things he wanted to say to her, so many aspects of
raw emotion but he needed to be close to her first, expressing his fondness and
his growing love.

Her eyes opening wide, she brushed
her fingers down from his lips to his neck, tilting her head as she followed
the path down the length of his chest. Swallowing hard, she leaned her head
forward, licking the underside of his chin.

Moaning, Broden wanted nothing more
than to drag her down onto the bed but the gentle ways she was touching him, reminding
him he was a man first, was incredible. Flicking his fingers back and forth
across her nipples, he laughed when she pushed his hands away and leaned over,
sucking on his nipple. “Oh…yes…” They were sensitive and the way she licked and
dragged her tongue back and forth sent shivers down his spine.

Kaela slid her mouth across his
chest to his other nipple, swirling her tongue around the hardened bud.
Purring, she eased her hand down his chest, wrapping her fingers around the
base of his cock.

The moment she began to pump up and
down, he slipped his fingers into her pussy. Dear God she was wet. Thrusting in
and out, he tossed his head back and growled, enjoying the keening sounds
floating off the high ceiling. His entire body was shaking with need, anticipation
building to the point he was nearly blinded.

As she eased back,
a smile
lighting up her face, she nodded, the look was of
complete devotion, total submission, and dropped to her knees. Instantly she
wrapped both hands around his cock, bringing the tip to her mouth. Licking
around in lazy circles, she tilted her head back to look at him.

“Mmm…always a
tease.”
Very
tentatively he placed his hand on her head, reminding himself this was give and
take, not control.

The purr long and slow, she pumped
the base of his dick with one hand as she wrapped her fingers around his balls,
rolling the tender sac between her fingers. Opening her mouth, she took his
shaft down an inch, using her jaw muscles to suck as she squeezed his balls.

Moaning, Broden opened his legs
wide, dropping his head, beads of sweat dripping down from his forehead to her
face. He jutted his hips forward, the action pushing his dick further into her
mouth.

Kaela clamped around the thick
muscle, holding his cock in her mouth. Very slowly she pumped the base and
removed his shaft from her mouth, dragging her tongue down the underside to his
balls.

“Sweet Jesus!”
The second she took one of his
balls into her mouth sucking, he squirmed and hissed, the husky sound floating
into the air. Broden blinked, his entire body trembling as she sucked and
licked first one ball then the other, her tongue moving back and forth.

She concentrated on her efforts,
finally dragging her tongue all the way up his shaft and engulfing his
cockhead.

He could tell she’d relaxed her
throat and as he placed his hands on both sides of her head, she began to drive
into her mouth in slow and easy thrusts.

She whimpered, her mewing sounds
slipping past her lips.

Broden lifted upon his toes, his
thrusts getting more savage and for a few seconds he wanted to drain his cock
down her throat. He knew she would enjoy, giving in to whatever he asked but he
had to slide his dick inside her pussy. The need to completely take her, show
her what he was feeling became overwhelming. Reaching down, he slipped his
hands under her arms and pulled Kaela to her feet.

For a few seconds they locked eyes
until Kaela lowered her gaze. “Please.”

There was so much emotion in the
single word, so much longing in her voice and for a few seconds he was swimming
in a sea of possibilities, hopes for the future. A single tear rolling down his
cheek, he gripped her arms as he laid her down on top of the bed, his eyes
never leaving hers.

She lifted her arms, tugging her
hair from behind her head and fanning the long strands like a halo. Her lips
were quivering but she said nothing as he lowered his body on top of hers.

Broden inhaled the sweet fragrance
of the woman lying beneath him and for the first time in his life, was taken
aback, unsure of how he wanted to take her, claim her. Maybe that was the
point,
he only wanted to share with her. The thought was
startling and as he planted his hands on either side of her, lowering his body,
he closed his eyes. He didn’t need to guide his cock to her sweet pussy. Kaela
eased the tip inside.

“Take me. Make me yours.” Her words
were subtle, barely a whisper, but her voice held such emotion, raw and
unbridled.

Opening his eyes, he leaned down,
keeping his lips pressed against hers as he slid his cock inside. “Yyyyeeessss…”
The instant sensation of warmth and pressure was nothing like he’d ever felt.
For almost a minute he couldn’t move, refused to move, and in those precious
seconds, the connection between them grew to the point of never being able to
turn back.

Kaela groaned as she wrapped her
arms around his neck, her legs around his waist. “You still me.”

The words echoed in his mind,
thoughts giving him chills
. He kept his lips pressed against
hers, his tongue darting out as he pulled out his dick, shifting back and
forth. Very slowly he moved in and out of her sweet cunt, every move deep and
yet so very calculated.

“Oh…Broden.”
Closing her eyes, she arched her back,
the angle forcing his shaft deeper inside.

Shuddering, he panted as he
continued plunging into her, trying not to ravage her body. This was
unchartered territory, making love to a woman in a sensuous way. He was used to
taking what he wanted. Now this was almost too much. In and out he
thrust,
his heart racing. He needed more, so much more.
Grabbing first one leg and the other, he forced both legs up over his
shoulders.

“Yes!” Moaning, Kaela licked her
lips as she gripped his shoulders.

“Kaela.
Oh Kaela.”
His entire body was on fire as he continued to plunge his cock inside, her
pussy muscles constricting and pulling him deeper inside. When she clenched her
cunt, the grip was enough to create a tide he couldn’t stop. “Baby, I
can’t…hold back and I…”

“Cum inside of
me.”

“Cum with me.”

Her eyelids opening and closing she
squirmed, a hoarse whimper erupting from her mouth. ‘Yes. I… Oh…” Her body
bucked, pushing hard against his.

“Kaela…” His whisper was barely
audible as he continued thrusting harder and faster, the momentum shoving the
iron posts of the bed into the wall. The clattering sound matched the wild
thumping of his heart and no matter how hard he tried to tamp back the
inevitable he couldn’t stop the raging tide. “Cum…for…me…”

“I…” Jerking up from the bed, her
mouth flew open, her eyes opening wide.

“Cum!”
The seconds he said the word, he
felt her pussy constricting around his cock, dragging him into the mouth of her
cervix. His heart racing, he threw his head back, only a hoarse hiss escaping
his lips.

“Oooohhh…aaaahhh…” She clawed his
arms, her nails digging into his flesh and for a few seconds she remained above
the bed.

He gazed down at the beautiful
woman, his thoughts going all over the place. As the last wave of his orgasm
matched hers, their bodies shimmering with perspiration, he covered her body
with his, his heart racing.

“I love you.” Her soft breath skipped
against his skin.

And Broden was completely terrified.

****

Kaela heard the sound of the ocean
first and while she was still sleepy, she knew instantly what had happened, the
hot sex shared with the man. Lifting her head, she glanced out the set of
French doors, stretching. She’d known the very second he left the bed, the
warmth of his body leaving her empty inside. Rolling over, she swept her arm
across the surface of the bed. She tried to fight the tears brimming in her
eyes but they continued to fall. Making love with Broden had been wonderful and
after the third time they’d fallen asleep, at least for a little while.

Nuzzling into the pillows, she knew
in her heart she had to try and figure out the last piece to the Broden puzzle.
This wasn’t just about Samantha. The horror and the angst was more about his
soul, a challenged psyche. They’d made love, there was no doubt in her mind,
yet he was still haunted, his actions stilted. If she could only get him to
trust her implicitly then maybe she could break through his hard shell.
Maybe.
It was the maybe that was killing her and she knew
why. Struggling with her own personal inner demons had left her cold to men and
untrusting.

Shivering, she thought about the
last time she allowed a man to tie her up. She’d thought she’d trusted him but
in the end, he’d been a sadist. She rarely thought about Joseph, or about the
day she’d almost died. You think you know someone and suddenly they change
during the course of having control. The early months had been so sweet and
loving and she’d learn to trust and to want more in a D/s relationship. And
then… Balling her fist, she slapped her hand down on the bed. The asshole
wasn’t going to ruin this, not with Broden and never again. There were so many
questions in her mind and few answers, but she had to find them.
