“All right.” I trembled. I had learned to love ass play. It was so forbidden, so wrong, yet so right.

Some cool liquid trickled over my hole. Talon’s finger breached me, and I let out a soft sigh.

“That’s right, baby. That’s just me. I’m loosening up your pretty little asshole for you.”

I sighed again, reveling in the pleasure.

“Now, just a little more pressure.”

“God!” I cried out.

“It’s a plug, baby. A reminder that this asshole is mine. Got that?”

“Yes.” I bit my lip.

“Just relax.” He moved my thighs downward, and the plug pushed into me even more. God, so good.

A few minutes passed, and I lay there, totally at his mercy, my nipples clamped, stinging, burning, aching for more. My hips moving, rocking subtly, letting the balls do their job, my ass full, waiting for more.

I felt him before he thrust into me, his warmth hovering over me.

And then his cock was inside my heat.

“God,” he groaned. “Those balls inside you create more fiction. Fucking amazing.”

He wasn’t kidding. They rolled around inside my cunt, and as he thrust in and out, I had double the pleasure, double the sensation. With every thrust, he nudged the plug in my ass as well, giving me even more sensation. It wasn’t long before I was plummeting into another climax.

I spiraled outward and then inward, every feeling, every emotion, every physical sensation, writhing into me, as my man fucked me. Fucked me into oblivion.

He groaned above me, taking me, marking me. Marking every part of me. God help me, I wanted to be marked. Wanted to be his.

Wanted to belong to him in every way I could.

“This is me, baby,” he said above me, his deep voice like a smooth red wine. “This is me taking you, possessing you.”

His words spurred me on. Yes, possessing me. I wanted him to possess me. His perspiration dripped on my cheeks as he continued pumping, thrusting, until that last thrust when he went so far inside me I thought he touched my soul.

He groaned his release, and when he finally pulled out, we were both panting. The balls tumbled out of me along with his essence.

We both lay still for a moment, until I felt the clamps release my nipples, the plug come out of my ass. And then he unbound my wrists from the headboard.

Last, he removed the bandanna from my eyes.

Finally I could look upon him, the man I loved more than anything. He was beautiful, covered in a glossy sheen, his hair tousled, the strands around his face wet with perspiration. He looked down upon me, his eyes still fiery and filled with a love I had never seen there before.

I closed my eyes, so relaxed, so at peace, and drifted away.

 

When I woke up, the room was dark, and Talon was nowhere to be found.

Well, of course. He refused to sleep with me. I knew he’d never hurt me, and I wanted desperately to spend the night in the arms of the man I loved.

But I’d told him I would be patient. I’d vowed not to push him. He would come to me when he was ready.

I got up and put on my clothes. It was eleven. I walked stiffly around the house, looking for Talon. I found him in his office, engrossed in something on the computer. I decided to leave him to his work. I walked down the hallway to Marj’s room. Under her door was a sliver of light, so I knew she was still up. I knocked softly.

“Yeah? Come on in.”

I opened the door. “It’s just me.”

“Oh. Hey. I didn’t know you were here.”

“I came over to see Talon.”

“He said you were in Grand Junction visiting your mom.”

“I was. She woke up. She’s doing well, and the prognosis is good.”

“So what are you doing here, then?”

I smiled. “I just wanted to see him. Now he’s in the office working, and I don’t want to disturb him. It’s late, and I don’t feel like driving back to Snow Creek.”

“So stay in your old room. No big deal.” Her voice was listless.

I sat down on her bed. “Marj, when are you going to tell me what’s going on?”

“It’s like I told you before. I can’t. I wish I could.”

I let out a sigh. “Okay.”

“How do you like your new job as acting city attorney?”

What a loaded question that was. “It comes with a little pay hike, so that helps. I just got notice that my student-loan payments are starting soon, so the extra they will take from my paycheck every month will make it a little longer to get that down payment for a car.”

“You can drive the Mustang as long as you want to.”

“I know. I appreciate it. I just hate sponging off you guys.”

She gave a little smile and let out a little laugh. The first laugh I’d heard from Marj in a while.

“Haven’t we gotten past that by now, Jade? We have more than we could possibly use, and I’m happy to share it with you.”

“I know.”

“Seriously, how’s it going? With work?” She paused a moment. “With Talon?”

“I think things with Talon are going well. He told me he’s in therapy.”

Marj widened her eyes. “He did?”

“Yes. To be truthful, I’m glad he is.”

“Me too,” Marj agreed.

“He asked me to be patient with him. Not to press him for information.”

Marj smiled again, this time a little bigger smile. “I guess I’ll ask you to be patient with me too. If I could tell you what’s going on, Jade, I would.”

“All right. I understand. By the way, Talon said we could make our relationship public.”

“That’s great.”

“And as for work, I still don’t know what to think. I can’t figure out why Larry disappeared. He’s been gone for a week now, and no one knows where he is. I’ll do some investigating of my own on Monday. See if I can figure out where he went.” It freaked me out more than just a little bit, but I couldn’t let on to Marj how much. After all, Larry had told me to research the Steels. I still had no idea what information he was looking for. He had been tight-lipped about the whole thing. “Do you have any idea why Larry might’ve disappeared?”

Marj shook her head. “I really hardly know the guy. I mean, I had heard that he had dealings with our family in the past.”
