“Hey,” she said, giggling more.
God, he fucking loved that sound. He brought his wet hand down on her equally wet ass, and the sound echoed through the steam-filled room.
“Jasper,” she protested, kicking out and laughing again.
“Tell me you’re going to obey.” Yep, he had to use the word.
“Not in a million years.” She tried to swing out with one arm, but he pinned it at the small of her back. Even so, she giggled some more. “Jasper, I mean it. Let me go.”
Ah. There was the problem. “I’m never letting you go.” He spanked her five more times—hard—and she stopped laughing. “I’m not joking.” He noted the brand in the center of her lower back where he’d put it before. The mark had faded over the years. He didn’t like that at all. “Tell me you understand.”
“I think you should stop.”
He smacked her again.
“Fine. I understand,” she murmured.
“Good girl.”
A tremble went through her at the words. Yes. His little Leah liked to know she was safe, and if he had to be a controlling mate once in a while, he’d give her that. He reached between her legs. She was wet, and not just from the shower.
“Jasper,” she whispered brokenly, moving against his hand.
He played at his leisure until she panted, then he flipped her back over, easily grabbing her ass and lifting her to his mouth.
She made a sound deep in her throat that he’d remember forever as her thighs widened and rested on his shoulders.
He sucked her clit into his mouth, lashing it with his tongue.
She cried out, and her entire body shuddered as an orgasm took her quickly. She tasted like heaven and…his.
When she was finished, he slowly lowered her to his lap.
Her eyes were huge in her heart-shaped face. “Sometimes, I forget how strong you are.”
“That’d be a mistake.” He tangled his fingers in her hair and kissed her hard before releasing her mouth again. “That’s something you’re going to want to remember from now on.”
Chapter Eleven
Leah couldn’t breathe. He had lifted her to his mouth as if gravity didn’t mean a thing. She wasn’t a light woman, yet she felt delicate with him.
She kissed him again. This war for control was intoxicating, even though she had no hope of winning. Yet everything inside her said she had his heart. Perhaps she’d win this kind of battle one day, but not today. What about her heart? For so long, she’d protected herself as everyone around her had passed on.
Jasper was immortal.
Mostly.
What if she let herself fall completely for him? Could she take the risk? She settled against his hard cock and then tried to lift up.
His hands captured her waist. “No. Not this way.” Then he nipped her lip, sending desire down her body.
“What way?” she whispered, trying to keep up.
He stood and settled her knees on the warm shower tiles of the floor, bending her over the bench. Shock drilled through her, and then awareness.
“This way,” he said, right behind her. He kissed her neck and then scraped his fangs along her vulnerable skin. She shivered. “You want this?” he asked, his voice a harsh rumble.
She nodded, her hands flat against the marble bench.
“Say it.”
“I do. I want this.” The steam rose around them, caressing her skin, encasing her in warmth. Finally. But something inside her felt empty, and only Jasper could fill her.
He paused at her entrance and then slowly entered her, inch by inch. Not slowing, not giving her any time to breathe.
She pushed back against him, widening her thighs, her knees slipping on the wet tiles. “You’re too much,” she protested, even as she tried to take more of him.
“No, I’m not. You’re taking all of me, Mate.” He sank his fangs into her neck, and pain lashed through her, followed by an erotic pleasure she’d never be able to describe. She cried out, and he powered all the way inside her.
His body over hers.
Hot and possessive.
She gasped, overtaken by him.
She couldn’t move if she wanted to, and she didn’t. He powered inside her hard and fast, going deeper than she thought possible. All she could do was close her eyes with her cheek resting on the cool marble.
The steam engulfed them. He hammered into her wildly, taking her as he drank from her neck, wildfire burning between her neck and pussy.
She shrieked as the orgasm took her, surprise lifting her and then dropping her so suddenly that wave upon devastating wave bombarded her. Heat and pain flashed on her lower back, and she knew instantly that he’d marked her again. Electricity zipped from that mark straight to her clit, and somewhere deeper, prolonging the orgasm until she could only let it take her where he wanted her. Whimpering, she finally softened.
Only then, he ground against her several times with his own climax.
