CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Iron
I froze after hearing her words.
This was what I had wanted but I truthfully hadn’t expected it.
I unzipped my pants, freeing my throbbing cock.
My hand wrapped around her hair. With one tug, I pulled her body back up.
“Listen to me, and listen good, Petra,” I said as I began to pump into her slowly, only allowing a few inches of my cock to slip inside. My mouth went to her ear because I wanted to make sure she got it this time. “You’re mine. I’ve told you that before and that’s not something I’ve ever told anyone ever. You. Are. Mine.”
I placed a light kiss behind her ear and her body shuddered against me.
“You have the respect of every person down there,” I went on, my voice raw as I tried to hold myself back. “You don’t need to be someone you’re not. The fact that you showed up today says so much, Pet. I see it. They see it. I know it wasn’t easy for you but you did it because you care.”
“Iron,” she moaned out.
“I’m here, babe. And I’m going to take care of you, just like you will do for me. Not because I demand it, but because you want to.”
“Yes,” she let out in a breathy whisper.
“I’d die for you, Pet,” I told her honestly. “And I know you’d do the same for me. That right there tells me that you have everything to give.”
Slowly, I pushed myself inside of her until I bottomed out. My free hand wrapped around her neck, my thumb resting on the pulse point. Her heart was beating fast and steady. My fingers splayed wide but I didn’t squeeze.
“Never question how much you can love me, again. I haven’t, and I never will,” I said making my final point.
My hips jerked back and I began thrusting into her hard.
Her arm raised, reaching back over her head. A second later, her nails scraped over my scalp as her fist tightened in my hair.
“Let it go, Pet. Let me hear how good I make you feel.”
My hips worked harder, faster. I felt her clench around me.
She called out my name, her back arching. I gave it to her hard because I knew that was what she needed right now.
“No matter how hard I give it to you, it will never be just fucking,” I told her, though I didn’t think I really needed to say it out loud. “Tell me I’m right.”
“Yes,” she said and I was surprised how easily the answer slipped from her lips.
“Scream it, Pet. It will make you feel so much better.”
Her body trembled and it seemed she was holding herself back just as much as I was, neither of us wanting this moment to end.
Her hand tightened on my hair. I gave her ponytail a quick tug and it sent her over the edge.
“I love you!” she screamed out as she came, clenching around me tight and coming so hard that her juices ran down my balls.
“Fuck, yeah, you do.” I pounded into her a few more times, my hips rolling, drawing out her orgasm as much as I could. “You’re mine.”
I planted myself deep inside of her and came hard, filling her up with everything I had in me.
“I’m yours,” she whispered hoarsely as her body collapsed against the countertop.
I slipped out of her, loving the way a tiny whimper of sadness vibrated in the back of her throat. Gently, I turned her around and lifted her up, setting her onto the counter. My lips took hers and she gave into the slow, lazy kiss.
