worry about her crazy-assed, over-protective

husband watching her every move.
Oh joy
. She

was glad he was leaving on Monday. Otherwise

she’d surely have to strangle him and then

plead temporary insanity.

“What’s going through that pretty little

head of yours, Dominique? I can almost hear

the wheels turning. You’re not getting rid of

me. So forget about it,” Brandon laughed and

Dominique scowled up at him.

“You think you’re so smart don’t you?”

she pouted.

“No, I don’t. I know you, wife. If you

think I’m trying to tell you what to do, you’ll do

the opposite just for the hell of it,” Brandon

laughed. “Stop pouting and come give your

hubby some lovin’, woman.”

“I’ll give you some lovin’ all right,”

Dominique protested still pouting. “I keep

telling you that you are not the boss—”

Whatever Dominique was going to say

was cut off by Brandon using his grip on her ass

to lift her up and into his erection while

simultaneously seeking out her lips. Dominique

moaned against his lips, opening her mouth to

receive his tongue. That was all the

encouragement Brandon needed. He took over

the kiss, pulling her tongue into his mouth and

sucking it. Their tongues danced together in

harmony. Dominique marveled at how in tune

they were with one another.

Dominique lifted her mouth from

Brandon’s. “I hope you know that this is only a

temporary diversion. Once my horny body has

been fulfilled, I’m still going to give you a good

cussing out,” she breathed against his lips.

Brandon laughed. “Sweetheart, if you can

talk after I’ve finished loving you, then I will

gladly take your cussin’ out. Just remember the

last time we came together you had to wear a

towel between your legs for a couple of days,”

he said with a self-satisfied smirk.

Dominique looked up into his blue-gray

eyes with her mouth hanging open.

“Close your mouth, sweetheart. You know

I put some good lovin’ on you,” Brandon

whispered, turning around with her in his arms

and walking towards her bedroom. Once in the

bedroom, he sat her on her feet. “I suggest you

turn that pretty bedspread back if you don’t

want it to get stained up. You and I are, as they

say, ‘getting ready to tear up the sheets,’” he

said, ripping off his polo-styled shirt. His hands

went to his belt buckle to loosen it.

As much as she wanted to protest and put

a dent in his over-inflated ego, Dominique

wanted him just as much as he wanted her. Not

giving it another thought, Dominique faced the

bed and turned the cover back. She was still

slightly bent forward when she felt Brandon’s

hand on her ass, squeezing. Dominique caught

her breath and leaned back into his hand.

Brandon’s hand left her ass and moved to her

waist, pulling her further into him as he rubbed

against her. Dominique moaned, straightened

her body to its full length, and moved back

against him. Lifting her arm to reach behind

her and grab hold of his neck, she purred like a

kitten as Brandon slid one hand into her boy

shorts, seeking out her pearl and the other

underneath her tank to palm one of her breasts.

“Oh, baby, that feels so good,” she purred.

“It’s about to get better,” Brandon

murmured inserting one of his middle fingers

into her hotbox.

“Uh,” Dominique groaned, using her

vaginal walls to grip his finger as she bore

down. Dominique loved when he fingered her.

Through the Fire

165

His hands were masterful; long, thick fingers

pushed in and out of her,
umm
.

“You like that baby?” Brandon whispered

against her neck.

Dominique nodded her head yes as

Brandon began nipping at her neck. Oh, damn,

she was going to have another passion mark on

her neck. The way he was making her body feel

at the moment, he could put a mark anywhere

he wanted. She was agreeable to almost

anything right now.

On the crest of an orgasm, Dominique

rode his finger hard. She began to writhe

against him when he added another finger to

join the one that was already in her, then

another.

“Oh God, Brandon, I’m going to come,”

she cried in a ragged voice as she released her

arm from around Brandon’s neck, dropped it to

her side, and placed it between them, cupping

his manhood through his jeans. She heard

Brandon’s intake of breath as she cupped and

squeezed his erection.

Withdrawing his hand from under her

tank, he took hold of the ends and pulled it up

and over her head, dropping it onto the floor at

166

the same time he removed his fingers from

inside of her.

“Nooo! You didn’t just do that to me?”

Dominique screeched, then turned around and

banged her fist against Brandon’s chest.

Brandon laughed, grabbed her hands,

and started to walk forward causing Dominique

to walk backwards towards the bed until the

backs of her knees came into contact with it.

“Save some of that energy you’re exerting for

our lovemaking,” he said around his laughter,

as he gently pushed her down on the bed.

Dominique’s body bounced a little from

the impact. Quickly recovering, she lifted up on

her elbows and gave Brandon the evil eye, then

licked her lips when Brandon shucked his jeans

and boxers all at once. Boy, was her man well

packaged. She loved looking at him, and from

the smirk on his face he knew it.

“Like what you see, Dominique?”

Brandon smirked.

“No,” Dominique sassed.

Brandon snickered. “Yeah, right, tell that

to someone who’s not looking at your hardened

nipples, your lust filled eyes, and you licking

your lips,” he said with an arrogant toss of his

head.

“How do you know I’m not thinking of

someone else?” she tossed back and watched as

his eyes darkened in anger.

“Stop playing,” he barked, as he leaned

forward, placed his hands on either side of her,

aligned his face with her breast and pulled the

puckered peek into his mouth. “By the time I’m

finished with you, wife, the only thing you’ll

remember is how well your husband makes

your body sing.”

Dominique

gasped

with

pleasure.

Throwing her head back, she crooned out her

desire. “Oh yes, suck it harder, Brandon. You

know I like it when you suck and play with my

breasts,” she cried, as Brandon pinched one

breast while simultaneously sucking the other.

The

sensation

from

the

synchronized

manipulation of her breasts had her head

spinning. Her breasts were always very

sensitive to his touch.

Brandon released Dominique’s breast

from his mouth. “I think you have on too many

clothes, wife. Let’s see if we can rid you of these

little supposed-to-be pajama bottoms,” he

whispered against her breast as he began to

pull her bottoms off.

168

SERENITY KING

“You need help with that, husband?” she

murmured as she removed his hand and

whisked the bottoms down her legs, kicking

them to the floor. “There, all done.”

“Smart ass,” he chuckled, bringing his

lips to hers, not giving her a chance to speak,

before he captured her lips in a fiery kiss.

Dominique met his kiss with zeal,

merging her lips and tongue with his. Their

tongues dueled. Dominique tried her best to

take over the kiss but Brandon wasn’t having it.

Dominique cried out as Brandon ground

his erection into her. Closing her legs, she

locked his manhood between her thighs. She

was on fire. Her body burned for him, only him.

This past week just showed how much she truly

loved and missed him.

Just thinking about him had her on the

verge of coming, and when it was coupled with

him rubbing against her clit, she was sure to

explode any minute. Enough with the foreplay.

Tearing her mouth away from his she

whimpered. “Brandon, I can’t wait any longer.

Please, get inside of me now. I missed you. I

love you. Please. Now!”

That seemed to be all the encouragement

Brandon needed. Pushing his leg between hers

Through the Fire

169

to open them wider, he lifted one of her legs,

aligned his erection with her opening and

pushed forward into her. Dominique cried out

“Yes,” as she wrapped her legs around

Brandon’s hips and met him mid thrust.

“Oh baby, I missed you too. We’re so

good together, aren’t we, baby?” he muttered,

his thrust bolder.

“Oh yeah,” she said whimpering. Oh God,

he was hitting all the right spots.

“Promise you won’t leave me again,”

Brandon cried.

“I promise,” she murmured, grabbing his

head, bringing his mouth down to hers, and

looking him directly in the eyes. “I promise.

Just love me, Brandon.”

Dominique noticed Brandon’s eyes water

as he mouthed a thank you before taking her

lips again and thrusting in and out of her.

They were pressing their bodies close

together as if trying to become one with each

other. Dominique’s toes started to tingle at the

same time she felt Brandon’s legs begin to

shake. Her body seized as her orgasm took

over. Her vaginal walls grasped Brandon’s cock

so tight she could feel him twitch inside of her.

Dominique tightened her legs around him,

170

SERENITY KING

pulling him deeper inside of her. His next push

sent her over the edge, crying out her

fulfillment. “Yesss!” Dominique held on tight as

Brandon continued to pound into her. His

release triggered another mini-orgasm within

her as she felt the warmness of his seed

shooting inside of her.

“Oh fuck, baby! I love you so much,” he

shouted, collapsing on top of her, his breathing

labored.

Neither Brandon nor Dominique said

anything for a little while. Dominique played

with Brandon’s hair, running her fingers

through the short, damp strands.

“I’m heavy. I need to move off of you,

sweetheart,” Brandon whispered against her

neck.

“No, stay for little while. I like having you

on top of me and in me,” Dominique said.

They both went silent again, just enjoying

being with each other. Finally, Brandon rolled

onto his back without dislodging himself from

her. She was now lying on top of him.

“That’s better,” Brandon said. He

wiggled, trying to better settle her on top of

him. “You’re on top and we’re still connected,”

he whispered.

“Hmm, I like that. You want to take a

shower?” she murmured.

“No. Not yet. I want to stay just like we

are for a while,” he responded.

“Me too,” Dominique said around a yawn.

“Go to sleep, sleepyhead,” Brandon

chuckled.

“Hush,” she giggled and sighed as

Brandon began to run his fingers through her

long, silky hair, massaging her scalp. That was

all Dominique’s sleepy brain needed. She

quickly fell into slumber.

CHAPTER NINE

Brandon, fully dressed, was stretched

across Dominique’s bed, watching ESPN while

he waited for her to finish dressing. They’d

already eaten breakfast and were now getting

ready to go and meet with her expert witness.

He watched her worry her hair. He knew that

she was upset. She’d spoken to her father both

last night and this morning. The man still

treated Dominique as if she were a child. There

was only so much more that Brandon would

put up with. Then he would have to take

matters into his own hands. What bothered his

wife bothered him, and he wouldn’t tolerate the

man’s condescending attitude any longer.

But Brandon had agreed to let Dominique

handle her father for the time being. He would
