Chapter 39

Juno

I felt my body calm far quicker than it had after my first run through the crowds, Jack's arms wrapped tightly around me. I could feel his eyes on me, and the bulge in his pants had made it clear he liked the description I'd given him of a typical dom-sub relationship.

He was staring at me, and I could feel him studying me, but he hadn't spoken, and I didn't want to break the silence. The idea of submitting to him so completely made me more than a little hot, too. I imagined him telling me I'd been a good girl. That I'd pleased him with my obedience, and I grew wetter as I did.

Slowly, his hand shifted from propping up my chin as he tried to get me to look at him to gripping it more tightly.

"Look at me," he said, his voice husky.

I exhaled, the change in his tone both making me a little frightened and burning with desire. Doing as he bid, I met his gaze. There was a fierce hunger in his eyes, the way a wolf might look at their prey before they devoured them. And I was caught in his embrace, one arm tight around me and the other holding my head in place.

"You belong to me now," he said.

I gulped but didn't refuse.

"You're going to submit to me, and I'm going to take care of you."

With that, he plunged his mouth down on mine, his actions following his words as if they cemented them in our minds.

I yielded to him, my body hot and hungry to be his in so many ways. My heart raced in my chest, and my skin tingled where he brushed against it.

Every inch of me wanted to be his, and I wasn't going to get in the way.

Somehow he managed to keep himself at bay, doing nothing more than passionately kissing me until the car pulled up outside his apartment block. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the car behind him, then strode toward the front door, not even softening his grip.

I went eagerly after him, wanting him to know I was as willing as possible.

The wait for the elevator seemed to drag out, every second almost torture that made me glance toward the stairs. Despite the desire to run up them, I kept my mouth shut and waited by his side.

With the night late enough that the building was quiet, and the band returning in staggered groups, we were the only ones in the elevator. The second the doors were closed, Jack pushed me up against the back wall, lifting my hands above my head and pinning me in place.

One hand cupped a breast, rubbing across my nipple and making me moan into the mouth that claimed mine once again.

Heat flushed through me, running deep until I was wet and involuntarily squeezing my legs around the thigh he'd jammed between them.

We stayed like that until the elevator dinged to let us know we were at the top. Immediately, he pulled back, but he didn't let go of my wrist. Striding like a wolf on the prowl, he headed straight for his apartment and fished out the keys.

He opened the door with practiced ease and only turned to shut it behind me.

Without another word, he led me to the bedroom and swept me off my feet and onto the bed, pushing me forward. Before I could move or turn, he reached for my pants and pulled them off.

I managed to get my hands underneath me before my panties followed. It pulled my legs out from underneath me, and then he was over me, pinning me beneath him.

Pushing my legs wide, he moved between them, and then he grabbed a pillow. Before I could ask what he intended to do with it, he slid a hand underneath my stomach and lifted off me enough to pull the pillow through the gap sideways and underneath me.

Anticipating what was to come, I grew even wetter, my own juices reaching my thighs. I wanted him, but I didn't dare speak, his strong body still keeping me beneath him, even if I hadn't asked for this.

I heard rather than saw the jangle of his belt buckle and the zipper that followed, and a moment later, I felt his throbbing cock near my entrance. He groaned as he pushed me down even farther and my legs even wider.

With no more warning, he drove himself hard and deep into me. I gasped, the sting and pleasure of his hardness everything I'd hoped it would be. He stilled for a moment before reaching forward, grabbing my hair, and pulling my head back.

At the same time, he brought his mouth to my ear. I couldn't move, trapped against him.

"I'm going to fuck you now," he whispered.

I mewled in response, trying to shift, to encourage him to thrust into me, but he remained still, deep inside.

"Lie still and take your fucking, kitten," he commanded, almost growling the last word.

Instantly, I fought to obey and give him what he wanted, but I was hungry for him, and it wasn't easy. Moving agonizingly slowly, he pulled back out of me, going almost all the way before he paused. With no warning, he drove deep again, making me gasp.

After letting out a short chuckle, he did it again and again.

I closed my eyes, my body enjoying every moment of the dominant way he was claiming me, giving myself over to him entirely and letting him pleasure us both.

With every thrust, Jack brought us both closer to our peak and made me his a little bit more. I let out a deep moan as I fell into heaven, and only a few seconds later, he joined me, impaling me and filling me with his cum.

As he came down, he shifted to the side, wrapping me in his arms and pulling me close against his chest. We cooled together, and at some point, he swept the covers around us.

Neither of us fell asleep, but we didn't speak, nothing left to say. In his arms I felt safe and warm, wanted and cared for. It was one of those perfect moments when the world feels right, and you never want it to end.

Occasionally, we kissed, or he stroked my cheek. It was perfect.

Eventually, he pressed his mouth against mine a little more firmly.

"We should sleep," he said. "As much as I don't want today to end, we need to be fresh tomorrow, or Kai will never forgive me."

"I'm sure he would forgive you, but I'll behave and do as I'm told," I replied, smirking.

"I should hope so," Jack said with a little growl before rolling back slightly.

I snuggled into him more but finally closed my eyes and let sleep steal over me.
