He tucked the hair behind her ear and leaned in to brush his lips against her. "You know what," he whispered. "Just do what feels right."
"Luke." She closed her eyes and started to cry.
He kissed her, crushing his mouth against hers, possessively.
She pressed her hands against his chest and pushed him away. She took a much needed breath and then looked at him. She didn't understand what he wanted. She felt like the scared girl who'd entered his life six months ago. The one who had no idea what she was doing in his house much less his playroom. She remembered how even he wasn't certain about her becoming his sub, but as the months progressed, so did she.
"Luke," she whispered again because she liked saying it. "I don't know what's going on. You have to tell me."
He gently kissed her.
"Kat," he mumbled against her mouth. "I've fallen in love with you."
Katherine sat there, stunned by his words. Of course, she had been in love with him for quite some time. And she had dreams and fantasies about him returning the feelings, but never expected him to actually reciprocate.
He was a Dom, her Dom. He'd made it clear that they weren't lovers and never could be. He had his own set of rules he followed. He was here to bring her pleasure and she was here to serve him. That was their purpose. She let things progress in her own mind, but him? He was too serious in his dominant position to allow this to happen. Wasn't he?
"Kat?" he called, pulling her from her rambling thoughts. "Did you hear what I said?"
Hear what he said? She had been waiting months for him to tell her he had some sort of feelings for her. She kept trusting him and hoping he'd see what they meant to one another.
Katherine pressed her lips against Luke's and, for the first time in their relationship, she took control. She let her hands trail up his still naked chest and over his shoulders, before wrapping her arms around his neck. Luke didn't stop her. She was eager and full of energy as she pushed herself into his now erect cock. This time, he had to pull away to breathe.
"I've loved you from the beginning," she said. "I knew the first time I looked into your eyes."
"And that's exactly why I tried to turn you away," he admitted. "I didn't want you to fall in love with me, because I didn't think I could ever reciprocate."
"But you do."
"I knew with you there was a strong possibility I could," he said. "I knew you were special."
She smiled at him. "Now what?"
"That's been my problem all along," he told her. "I don't know how to proceed. I'm a flawed man, Kat. I don't know if I'm capable of giving you the life you deserve."
He was always so confident and sure of everything. She had always felt safe and secure with him, even when he was punishing her or pushing her to work harder. But now he didn't seem to be her Master at all. The man standing before her was just that-a man. For the first time, Katherine was seeing Luke. He was remarkable.
"What do you mean?"
"I still have to dominate you," he said. "That's who I am. I have no idea how this is going to work, but I know it has to. I have to have you in my life, in my bed, and in my playroom."
"I want to be in all of those places, but most importantly, in your heart."
"I think you've always been there, sugar," he said as he kissed her lips. "We can figure out the rest as we go."
She ran her fingers through his hair. "Luke."
"What?" He laughed.
"I like calling you that," she admitted.
"I like hearing it." He ran his finger along her bottom lip. "Kat, I like when you touch me, too. I've just been afraid."
He looked so vulnerable, and she realized she'd never seen this side of him before.
"Will you do something for me?"
"Anything," he said as he pulled her into his lap.
"Will you make love to me?" she asked. "As Kat, the woman you're in love with?"
His eyes quickly flashed to hers. "I've wanted to make love to you for weeks now. I've been trying to show you."
"Is that why you've been allowing me to sleep here in your bed after we're together?"
"Yes," he admitted. "I can't stand when you're down the hall."
"Me either." She smiled. "It doesn't feel right."
She leaned down and kissed the center of his chest, working her way down his stomach. Her pace was excruciatingly slow, but it only heightened the experience. She undid his pants and slid them over his hips, exposing the lower half of his body. He kicked them off while she took his erection in her hand, swirling her tongue around the tip, the way she knew he liked. She moved her tongue up and down the back of his shaft. She was teasing him.
"My little vixen," he whispered as he gazed at her through lust filled eyes.
She looked up with him and smirked because she knew she was driving him wild. She liked having this kind of power every once in a while.
"Kat … " He grabbed her hair in his hands and gently pulled her head back. "I won't be able to last if you keep that up." She shot him a wicked grin, realizing she was in control of this session. She climbed back up his body and lifted her nightgown. She was completely bare underneath, just the way he liked her.
He placed his hands on either side of her hips and lowered her onto his dick. She moaned as she slid her hot, throbbing heat around his shaft and thrust downward, as he met each with a hard upward thrust. She ran her hands through her hair, and then slowly moved them down over her own body. She was so caught up in her own ecstasy. She was so comfortable with him and reveled in the way her body felt when they were together. Only he was capable of making her feel this way. He was all she'd ever need.
She noticed he couldn't take his eyes off her as she slipped her hands under her gown and began touching her breasts.
"Kat, take that thing off and do that again. I need to see."
She licked her lips as she lifted the gown over her head and tossed it aside. She slowly moved her hands back up over her body, placing them on her breasts again because she knew how much he liked to watch as she pleasured herself.
He pushed into her harder as she screamed his name. She moved her hands over her breasts and circled her nipples, mimicking everything he usually did to her. She was so close.
"Oh … Luke … it feels so good … I'm going to … " She let herself go. He quickly reversed their positions, being careful not to place all of his weight on her, as he began slamming into her. "Luke … " She couldn't hold off as another climax rocked her body.
"Kat, you bad girl!"
"Harder, Luke. I need it harder." His hips jerked forward and with a few deep, quick plunges, he emptied hard inside her.
He rolled onto his back and pulled her into his side, wrapping his arms around her. "No one ever touches you again," he vowed "You'll always be mine."
"I've always been yours," she said as she leaned up to kiss him, and they both knew that was true. It just took him a little longer to figure it out. They had a long journey ahead of them. There were many things to sort out with their unique relationship, but not tonight.
Tonight was about Kat and Luke and they intended on showing one another just how in love they were.
Over and over again.
