“It’s too much.” “ Hold on to me. Scratch at my back or pummel your fists on my chest if you have to but don’t stop looking at me. Those gorgeous eyes staring at me with such desperation make my dick hard.” Her sharp little nails dug into the flesh of his shoulders at the same time he rubbed over her g-spot. Her body quivered and her muscles clenched as he watched her fight the onslaught of pleasure he reigned down on her. All while she stared at him with a combination of lust and pissed-off female who sat tottering on the edge of her control. “ Please, Alex. I can’t take anymore. I can’t stand it.” The sound of her begging pulled at his own control as the force of his own need rose up to meet hers. He ground his back teeth and fought it. Not yet. He couldn’t stop now. “ Goddammit, Harper. Fucking come. Do it now!” He lifted upward and dragged the length of his shaft against her swollen clit. The heat alone from her was about to burn him alive. She scratched down his back hard enough to draw blood and hurtled over the cliff. She arched her back as he plowed into her clutching clasp. It had been a long time since he’d seen her this out of control and fuck if they both didn’t need it. But he needed more. Always more. Once was never enough with his needy submissive. Half the time he wondered which one of them needed the other more. He suspected it was him. He ground down on his control and pumped hard. To her credit she never looked away. Hey eyes blazed with naked hunger only he could slake. Only him. That’s what she had to learn tonight. She squirmed and thrashed, fighting him at the same time she reached for him. When she began pushing at his chest instead of clawing him closer he finally relented of his punishing strokes and withdrew. “ I can’t breathe, Alex. It’s too much.” He disagreed. “It’s not enough. But not like this. Get inside and get these fucking clothes off.” She nodded as he eased her to the ground. He allowed her just enough room to squeeze by him and enter his apartment. He closed the door behind him and methodically finished removing his own clothing. His pants hit the floor, which she grabbed and neatly folded for him on the foyer bench. The same with the shirt after he removed it and flung it to the side. “ Now you want to be sweet? When ten minutes ago you were running away from me. He cupped one of her bare breasts and pulled enough to stop her from moving away. He contemplated his next move and ultimately gave in to the raging need riding him harder than ever before. “Lie down on the table there and spread your legs for me. I want to see every inch of your body on display for me.” He lowered his voice to a near growl. “Me, kitten. Your Master.” He would never touch her in anger but that didn’t mean he didn’t feel some of the betrayal of her earlier move. A few short weeks ago she’d uttered the three words that he’d been expecting for a long time. They’d seared his heart and burned his brain like a permanent tattoo. He’d give anything to hear them again. First, she’d beg. Then he’d get what he wanted. He took himself in hand and stroked slowly from base to tip as she watched. Her tongue darted out and licked her lips. Alex leaned forward and stroked two fingers inside her pussy. “Do you want me now, kitten? Or do you want to use your safeword?” She whimpered when he removed his fingers and sucked them inside his mouth. Fuck. He loved tasting her. She had no idea how much control she had over him. Everything he did was done with her as his motivation. What could he do to make her life better? How could he give her more pleasure? “ Say it, Harper. Tell me what you want. Only girls brave enough to tell their Master what they really want get their rewards.” Her breath hitched, her eyes grew wide. Alex dug deeper for control. Something about Harper Allison got under his skin from the moment he caught sight of her
