Love and Language (9 page)

“That’s what I needed to hear.” He smiled. “For the record, I’m keeping you. Never letting you go, and you will be front row at my graduation.”

His parents. His siblings. A million things scampered through her brain. “But—”

“No buts! That’s what family is. We are sticking it out even if my brothers might tease you about being a little older than they are. That’s what brothers do. And if there’s any reaction here, we’ll face it together. It’s not going to change us. I wanted you before I knew you were submissive. If I had known, I’d have hit on you so much sooner.” He kissed her.

Us.
She wasn’t facing any of it alone, and that reality sank in as she let him take over. She’d faced life alone for decades. Now, she had someone on her side that she truly trusted to protect her. He loved her and had proved it. Their kiss went from sweet to demanding. He moved her arms behind her back and held them there as he kissed down her neck and inside her blouse.

“Your piercing?” she asked.

“I’ll tell you when I’m done.” He released her hands and opened her blouse then tugged down her bra. “Do you want one?”

“Maybe,” she admitted.

“You never told me all your fantasies,” he reminded her.

“We’re having one now.” She smiled.

He hiked up her skirt and smirked at the lack of panties. “Tell me another.”

She frantically tried to think as he bent her face down on the desk and fingered her wet slit. “Wax. Not fire or being burned but a little hot wax done safely.”

“You’re always safe with me.” He pinched her ass. “I have to spank you good when we’re home. You had me so worried.”

“I’m sorry.” Her voice caught in her throat. “I didn’t mean to. I’ve never had this before.”

“Me either.” He slid two fingers inside her.

She shivered and whispered, “Going topless.”

“What?” he asked.

“At the beach. I always wanted to try it. At a European beach where no one knows me. To see how it feels.” She pressed herself to the desk in shame as he teased her pussy until it throbbed. The rustle on a condom packet gave her hope. “Please, Ben.”

“So you don’t do dungeons, but you’ll do nude beaches? Be quiet now, or I’ll gag you.” He slid his thick cock deep inside of her with one stroke.

Biting back her gasp, she clung to his erection with every muscle she could. “Beach is just for fun. At dungeons, people want to play and watch,” she said softly.

He leaned down, his weight pressing her to the hard desk, and licked behind her ear. “I don’t control you on a beach or anywhere but the bedroom. Right?”

“Right,” she said.

“Then go nude for all I care. I just want to be there with you.” He thrust harder and faster.

No teasing this time. She clung to the desk and kept her lips pressed together. Finally, he clamped a hand over her mouth as he drove her toward release.

Something in her brain clicked as the tremor of orgasm began. He wanted to see her on the beach. He wanted to go on her trip. She wanted him with her. How stupid was she not to have invited him?

The climax took them both, and she bucked back as she moaned into his hand. The freedom of love and kink with trust left her dizzy. His groans were muffled on her shoulder then finally, he eased back.

She turned without permission and pulled him close. “I want to be at your graduation and meet your family. I want this to be forever. I know it’s fast and early and all of that, but promise me it’s real.”

Ben nodded. “It’s real.”

“Will you join me on vacation? I know you might already have other plans, but I’d love to see Italy and Greece with you. I’ve never really done vacations before so maybe it’s too forward. Or maybe you’re sick of traveling because you saw everything as a kid. I never had trips to see things despite all the moving I did.” She instantly felt dumb.

“No, it’s not too forward. Nothing is ever off the table. We can talk about anything. I love vacations but not being a nomad.” He kissed her cheek. “I’d love to go and keep all those hot European guys from hitting on you.”

“Right. That’ll happen.” She rolled her eyes. “I just don’t want to rush and ruin things.”

“Not possible. We didn’t meet a week ago, even if we’ve just started playing and dating. I’m not asking to move in or anything yet. Although the student rate on my apartment is up once I graduate.” He grinned.

Hope burned in her. “Bridget’s already engaged her to Dom. The wedding is next summer so it wouldn’t be that weird if we moved in together.”

“No, I’m not pressuring you. Think about it. That’s a big change.” He tugged her bra back in place after a quick kiss on each nipple then he buttoned her blouse.

She pouted. “You promised to fuck me everywhere after I told you everything.”

“At home. After dinner. I didn’t bring any lube.” He kissed her.

She grabbed his shirt and pinched that metal piece in his nipple. “And the piercing?”

He inhaled sharply. “I’ll tell you about it—if you’re prepared to get one yourself.”

Releasing his flesh, she kissed his cheek. “Let me know when you hear about the PhD.”

“You’ll be the first.” He closed his fly and left.

After taking his sub to dinner at a very expensive restaurant to celebrate, Dr. Ben Whitbeck tied her hands and stretched her arms up the closed door of her bedroom. The rope strung nicely over that hook where she usually kept her robe.

His work had been accepted, and he’d get his degree. Right now, what mattered was the woman that was his. He owed her a spanking and anal sex. On the way back from the restaurant, he’d stopped at his place to get clothing and toys for a week.

“You’re not keeping anything else from me, are you?” he asked.

He picked up a flogger and casually rubbed it over her bare ass. She was perfect and his.

“No, Sir. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you last night. I deserve to be punished.” She leaned on the door.

“You can tell me anything. Any time. You’re always safe with me.” He kissed her shoulders.

“I know. I didn’t want to ruin the play,” she said.

“You’ll never ruin it. It’s all about you. A little spanking will remind you of that.”

“Thank you, Sir.” Her body tensed as if ready.

“Relax.” He rubbed the leather strips against her skin. “You love your ass pink and tender.”

“Make it red,” she said. She shivered, and he knew she was ready. Slowly, he tapped her bottom with the flogger then moved back so just the tips whispered over her round bottom.

“Spread your legs,” he ordered.

She obeyed and arched her back slightly. Ben rewarded her with a good snap of his wrist. The tips stung, and she moaned. “Thank you, Sir.”

Two more strikes and she wiggled for more. He paused and kissed her flesh to feel the heat. “Good. Want another?” he asked.

“Please, Sir.”

“One minute.” He grabbed a bottle of lube and smeared some over her asshole. Then he retrieved the small butt plug from his bag and pressed it easily into her ass. “Hold it.”

“Oh God.” She nodded.

He stripped naked and stood right behind her, pressing his body to her so she’d know he was hard for her. “I’ll keep every promise I make to you. I’ll never leave you alone. You’re always the most important thing in the world to me.”

“Thank you.” Her voice shook with emotion.

“No, it’s what I want. What you give me is priceless.” He stroked her hair. “I’d rather be here than anywhere else.”

She nodded. “I love you,” she whispered.

“I love you, too.” He kissed her cheek. “Three more.”

“Please.” She stuck her ass out as far as possible.

He stepped back and ignored his need to fuck her senseless. Three more. He crisscrossed her ass and added force with each swing.

“Yes!” she shouted at the last one.

“Like it?” He inspected her ass and knew it’d drive her crazy tomorrow. The paddle covered more area. With the flogger, she’d have tender spots, less tender ones and normal ones. She’d be begging for the paddle by breakfast.

“I loved it.” She looked over her shoulder. “Keep your promise, and tell me about the piercing.”

He untied her and led her to the bed. Rubbing lotion into her ass, he gave in. “Fine. It was Nelson’s idea actually. I learned to be a Dom around here. He taught me a lot. I wanted to do it right, and groups are good for learning—at least with the right people guiding you. A Dom needs to do it right. He made me sub a little, not sexually but to take a flogging and a paddle or simply being tied up for a while to know what it was like. The piercing was like a sign that I was ready.”

“It’s so sexy.” She turned and played with it.

He squeezed her ass until she moaned then he took out the toy and dropped it on a towel on the floor. “You’d like one. You like pain more than you admit.”

She smiled. “Certain kinds.”

“Like wax?” he asked.

“Maybe.” She sat up in his lap and kissed his untouched nipple. “Would you let some stranger pierce my nipple?”

“If you want it done, of course. Stop testing me. I’m a bedroom Dom, and I mean it. I’m not going to change you or control you day and night. If that’s what you want, you’ve got the wrong guy.”

“I don’t want that. It feels too good to be true.” She kissed his other nipple and hugged him.

“We’ve done a lot of work to get here, and there’s more to face. We’ve earned it.” He pushed onto her back and smiled when he saw the relief in her face. She could test him all she wanted. They were a perfect match. He grabbed a vibrator from his bag. “Play with yourself.”

“Why?”

He turned and looked at her. “I said so.”

When she turned on the toy, he went back around the room retrieving the lube, two short pieces of rope and a condom from his supplies. She’d never let him be bored.

“I want you,” she said.

“You want to please me.” He knelt on the bed and slid his hands behind her knees, pushing her legs up and up. Finally, he tied her ankles to the top of the headboard.

She gasped. “I’m not a Yoga master.”

“You’re more flexible than you realize. Does it hurt?” he asked.

“Not right now.”

“You can use your safe word at any time if it does.” He watched her rub the small vibrator over her pussy and dipped it inside of her wet cunt every so often.

“Do you want a piercing?” he asked as he lubed her ass again.

“Yes, Sir.”

“Do you want me on vacation with you? Watching you naked on that beach?”

“Please, Sir. Yes.” Her hips lifted, and she adjusted her position.

He slid on the condom and pressed to her ass. “Do you want me forever?”

“Yes!” She rocked to him as he filled her rear.

To his surprise, she stuffed the toy deep into her pussy as he fucked her. She
did
want this. Some women offered to please Doms, but she was halfway to orgasm. Ben watched her intently. He grabbed her breasts and pinched her nipples.

“One or both get pierced?” he asked.

She shook her head. “I don’t know. I don’t care.”

“You do. You’ll love it.” He rolled her nubs between his fingers until she groaned.

“Please, Master!” she cried out.

Her body shook, and she grabbed her legs as she came on him. Ben took over the vibrator and eased it from her, rubbing the juice-coated toy over her folds and tapping her pussy.

She jerked every time he got near her clit, and he wanted to see it all. Pressing the vibrator just to the side of her nub, he watched her body spasm in a second orgasm as he fucked her ass faster. With his free hand, he released her legs from the rope. There was no reason to strain her muscles if she was giving him everything already.

Those legs wrapped around his waist like a vise. Her nails dug into his arms, and he pulled her up. She rode and clung to him as he kissed her.

“Thank you, Master,” she whispered as her body slowed down.

No one had ever called him that or wiggled so intently in his lap. Her ass tightened on his cock as he lifted a few more times and lost all control. Grunting, he held her down. It was real. She’d given him every inch of her body so willingly that all his doubts were gone.

When he could think again, he left her snuggled in the pillows while he disposed of the protection and put the toy away. Pausing before joining her, he took in the view of her naked and flush with obedient release.

“I love you so much.”

“I love you, too, Master.”

“You don’t have to call me that.” He kissed her foot and worked his way up to her shoulder before claiming her mouth.

“I want to. Sir is so generic. We belong together. You won’t make my decisions for me but with me. It’s a partnership, and I want it to be forever. I’m not a secret slave, but in the heat of sex, Masters feels so much better.”

He curled up behind her. “It does sound better. If that feels natural to you, I won’t argue. You’re never getting rid of me now.”

“Really? Does that mean you’ll move in?” she asked.

He wanted to. “Let’s give it a shot. If we find out it’s too soon, I can get a place.”

She turned in his arms and looked him square in the eye. “You’re not leaving. I want this every night.”

“What if people find out we’re a couple?” he teased.

“You’ve got your degree now. So the job will happen. Which means I’ll tell everyone you’re mine. No more hiding. I’ll be watching all those young students of any level. They’d better keep their hands off.” She kissed and nipped at his piercing.

“You changed your tune fast.” He pinched her ass.

“I did. You’re offering me something no one else ever has, and I actually believe it.” She snuggled to him.

Her trust hit him, and he basked in it. Now, it all made sense. Age was a problem only because the odds of a younger man committing to her and staying were lower. Luckily, neither of them taught statistics, so the math didn’t really matter. Her trust issues permeated her life which made talking about the problem bigger than it really was. “Technically, you have the house. And the tenured job. You’ve got a lot more than you give yourself credit for.”

“I have a mortgage too, which you are welcome to contribute to. After your student loans are paid of course.” She smiled up at him. “You’re still going on the vacation, right?”
