Her eyes followed me as I started to strip in front of her. I didn’t try to hide my cock from her this time when he sprang into view once released from his confinement.
Her sharp intake of breath pretty much told me what she was thinking, which is what I’d been trying to avoid until I was sure she could handle it. “Not to worry, when the time comes I’ll make sure you can take all of him.” I climbed into bed beside her and drew her tense body into my arms getting her settled.
Her eyes went down to my boy who was still semi-hard and flew back up to mine. “That’s so not gonna fit.” My roar of laughter shook her as she laid across my chest and I squeezed her, pulling her closer to me.
It felt good to laugh after a night like this. Her hand drew patterns on my chest and I kissed her hair. When she yawned it reminded me how late it was. “You’re tired baby, why don’t you go to sleep?”
“I don’t want to…” I understood, she was afraid to fall asleep, to relive her nightmare.
“I’ll watch over you baby, get some sleep.” It seemed that’s all it took to put her mind at ease and it wasn’t long before I was listening to the sound of her breathing as it evened out in sleep.
I laid awake thinking long after her little body settled into mine and there was no more tenseness. Tomorrow, my brothers and I will put an end to the waiting game and I have no doubt all hell will break loose. There’s a lot to be done to ensure that we didn’t lose any bodies on our end, and I guess these fucks had taken one more thing from me. No way I’m going into battle without taking her. Looks like her time had run out.
Looking down at her in the predawn light, my heart filled with so much love it was a physical ache. For the first time in my life I felt real gut fear. I’d never thought twice about putting it all on the line, never worried about the loss of my own life. But if anything happened to her, there would be nothing of worth left on this earth, nothing for me to live for.
It would be dangerous to underestimate the enemy. As secure as we are here, there was always a way. We were dealing with men who could use their power and position to come after us in so many ways. So I knew before we did anything else we’d have to make damn sure that the girls were safe.
CHAPTER 13
CORD

“It’s time little gem.” That’s all I said to her as soon as her eyes opened in the morning. From the widening of her eyes I knew she didn’t need me to explain. Earlier this morning, she was ready to ride my dick, now her fear was back. When her eyes flew right to my dick I knew what her problem was.
“Let’s get this out of the way.” I took her hand and held it against my cock. “He’s skin and blood, he might hurt you a little as is his right when he takes you for the first time, but he won’t kill you. And you know I will never harm you, so put that fear I see in your eyes away. Now come ‘ere.”
I lifted her from the bed and headed for the bathroom with her held closely in my arms. Once there I stood her on her feet next to the tub as I ran the water until it was just right. She still hadn’t said a word and I left her to her own thoughts. This was a life changing moment for her after all. I’d told her enough times what this final step in our bond would mean. If she was having second thoughts about belonging to me too damn bad. I wasn’t even gonna ask.
“Come.” I held out my hand and she came to me on unsteady legs. I steadied her with my hands on her hips before lifting the tee shirt over her head and throwing it to the floor. She stood in front of me naked, perfect.
Her body was toned from the exercises I’ve had her doing with me sometimes at night. Her hips had a nice soft flair, and her breasts were high and firm. I cupped them as I imagined my sons and daughters feeding there and my cock wept.
There was no need for words when I lifted her into the tub and picked up the cloth to wash her. I ran it gently over the marks on her neck that I had missed in the dark. They were obscenely evident now and only served to piss me the fuck off again. I bit back the anger refusing to invite them or thoughts of them here.
“I love you Little Gem.” Her eyes welled up with tears and I leaned over to sip them as they fell. I took very good care of her, paying special attention to that place between her legs that I would soon eat from.
I dropped the cloth in the water and used my fingers to clean her inside while teasing her clit with my thumb. Priming her. When I’d washed every inch of her body, I lifted her from the water and wrapped her in a soft warmed towel. By the time we left the steamy room, my need was on the rise. I left the bedroom with her in my arms and headed for the playroom.
While she’d slept, I’d come in here and made it ready before taking a shower. Now I unwrapped her and laid her back on the silk sheets. I moved slowly but precisely as I cuffed her hands above her head and attached them to the bed, before taking care of her legs. I tested the chains to make sure there was enough give and that there was no danger of chafing when she moved, as I’m sure she would.
