He grabbed her wrists and pulled her against him. “I’m still in charge. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Sir,” she whispered.
“Crawl to the center of the bed on all fours.” He pointed to the bed. “Now.”
As she did what he commanded, she heard him lower his zipper. A few seconds later she felt the mattress dip beneath her, and then his breath on her neck. The closeness of him increased her heart rate and caused her skin to burn. Her arousal spiked. She needed him again.
“Ready?” With one swift action he pulled her to his chest and thrust deep inside her.
She gasped from the speed, but once she adjusted she felt nothing but sated. He stilled his movements taking his time to explore her breasts and nipples with his fingers. Trailing hot wet kissing down her neck, he gripped her hair and slammed his hips against her. With each thrust, his cock slipped deeper until she could take no more.
As her muscles clenched, the sound of her heart beating pounded between her ears. Bursts of white light flashed behind her eyelids just as she felt his warm release shoot deep inside her core.
“Elyse.” He moaned as he continued to move in and out of her until his cock softened. “That was faster than I would have liked.” He laughed into her hair. “But, I already told you you’re a distraction.”
“A good one, I hope.”
“A very good one. The best.” He kissed the back of her neck before easing her onto the bed and dropping down next to her.
“Logan, that was…” She didn’t know how to put what she felt into words.
“Too much?”
She rolled onto her side and rested her palm against his cheek. “I can’t get enough. The way you look at me when you’re in that Dominant mode is so consuming. There is this intensity in your eyes that makes it hard for me to breathe or even think. I just do what you tell me. The way you talk is such a turn on.”
“You like it?”
“Couldn’t you tell?”
The sound of his laughter filled the room. As much as she craved his Dominance, she loved his relaxed and carefree side.
“What is it?” She wanted to know his every thought.
“You showed me what it was like to make love and I introduced you to kink. Which way is right?”
“We can have it all. We can play or we can just be. Or a combination of both. Either way we’re connected. We can have the most satisfying sex life.” The thought of the things they could do sent a tingle between her legs. How many more orgasms would he grant her tonight?
He kissed the tip of her nose. “The most satisfying life.”
Chapter Ten
Logan flexed his back muscles as he put the last coat of paint on the sitting room walls. He looked around and smiled. The room would definitely be ready for Christmas. Elyse had gone out earlier in the day to find curtains and accents for all of the guestrooms. She said the place needed a woman’s touch. As long as it was her touch, he didn’t care what she came up with.
He glanced at the clock in the foyer. She’d be home soon. He wanted to shower and order dinner before she returned. He switched on the fireplace in their bedroom before stripping out of his paint covered clothes. He’d planned a romantic evening, eating by the fire and making love all night.
This was the most time they’d spent away from one another since she showed up on his porch that night at the end of September. Thoughts of her filled his head all day. He couldn’t wait for her to get home so he could tell her how much she meant to him. The past two months had been the most amazing time of his life.
As he stepped into the shower and lathered soap over his body, he thought back to a conversation a few days before – when he had realized just how much he wanted a future with her.
Logan had gone with her to her mom’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. When they arrived back at the inn he had every intention of carrying her up to bed, but they didn’t get as far as the living room. They lay tangled together by the huge picture window watching the snow fall.

“I can’t believe it’s almost December. I never would have believed two months ago I’d still be here.”
“I’m happy you are.” He kissed the top of her head as he pulled her closer to him. “Thanks for taking me to your family dinner too. I had a great time.”
“My mother adores you. She says she wants to come and see the inn.”
“Any time.” He twirled a strand of her hair around his finger. “Maybe you could invite your family here for Christmas. We could have a big dinner.”
He’d wanted to do something to make her feel at home. Having her family for the holidays seemed like the right thing to do. It was about time she realized this was where she belonged.
