moan. I want to feel you quiver.”
I held on till the fifth swat of the paddle, but it took every bit of effort I could muster to hold back the explosion that was building in my core. My body was shivering in need; my thighs were clenching and unclenching as I inched closer and closer to my climax.
When he said five, I exploded. I yelled as the wave broke over me and I thrashed about on the bench until he pulled the Hitachi away and his hands steadied me.
“I’m going to fuck you now, Ellie,” he gritted out. I heard the sound of a condom wrapper tear. “As much as I’d like to see you climax once more, I don’t have any willpower where you are concerned. It has been eighteen long and painful months and I need you.”
His hands gripped my hair. His hips slapped against my already-reddened ass. His cock plunged into my pussy and his strokes made me moan. The vibrator still buzzed in my ass, and I felt overwhelmingly full, filled to the brim with a pleasure that threatened to spill over once again.
It was too much. I bucked against him like a wild animal, any veneer of civilization stripped away. I snarled and moaned. Words tumbled out of my mouth in an incoherent stream, a warble of curses and prayer and pleas for more.
His fingers tightened in my hair. “Ellie,” he ground out. “Ah fuck cherie , I’m not going to be able to hold on.”
“Don’t,” I whispered in reply. “Don’t hold on. Don’t be controlled or calm or rational. I want you now.”
He groaned, his thrusts harder as he unravelled. And as he erupted in me, I shattered as well.

I got rid of the condom, untied her and carried her to my bed, cradling her against my chest. I set her down and slid next to her.
“You are hard again.” Her voice sounded astonished. Her hands stroked my erection and her eyes were teasing as my cock reacted to her touch.
I chuckled. “Eighteen months is a long time,” I replied. “I’ve got to make it count.”
I reached for another condom and moved over her body. Missionary was normally not my sexual position of choice, but this was different. On top of her, I could look into her green eyes as I slid into her. I could hear every gasp of pleasure, every soft moan, every hitch in her breathing and they all served as kindling for my desire.
She was naughtier now. She sucked my thumb in her mouth, her eyes hazy with need. She leaned forward to nip at my earlobe, and her hands moved lower to grip my buttocks. Then the little minx pinched my butt and winked at me. “Nice ass,” she quipped.
“Hey,” I protested, then my words trailed off. I just took her in, her laughing eyes, the husky giggle of her voice. The emotion that rose almost overpowered me. I had missed her so much. I was so glad to see her.
We explored. Hands stroked and fingers tweaked nipples. Our lovemaking was at once playful and needy.
We’d been apart so much longer than we’d been together, but here and now, it didn’t matter. Because I believed in fate, and as my face distorted once more in climax, I knew one thing to be true.
Ellie and I were meant to be together.

Alexander:
Later, she was curled up in bed with me. “Did you actually think Lucien would use me to get to you? It’s been three weeks, right? Had he wanted me, wouldn’t he have moved already?”
I put my arm around her and breathed in the smell of her hair. “I don’t know,” I said honestly. “Maybe I’m being extra cautious. Or maybe Bectell will only use you as a last resort. But Ellie, I’d give up everything to keep you safe. If Bectell even hinted at a threat, I’d give him whatever he wanted.”
It was standard operating procedure for an unknown threat. Everyone important needed to be protected against harm. Sasha’s guards had trebled and her six-year old son Andrei was chafing at the restrictions. In Bangkok, I’d doubled the guards on Lori. “Everyone near and dear to me is guarded. But you? I needed you
