“I’m just doing what you asked. You have more control than you realize, Emma.” I slowly swept over her again, and her look of anger returned to lust as her hips pushed back against my hand. My smile grew as I lowered my mouth just above hers. Just the thought of being buried deep inside of her was enough to make me come. I wanted to taste her, but she needed to commit to me fully. I couldn’t risk losing her. Not now. “I only want to please you, Emma.” I skimmed my lips over the length of her neck, her pebbled nipples brushing against my chest.
“Then fuck me.”
Not even I could resist her when she begged me to be inside of her. Her body was shaking, and she was dangerously close to coming from my hand. I withdrew and shoved my cock inside of her. She moaned as I pulled back and slammed into her again.
“I want every part of you, Emma.” I tightened my grip on her wrists as I pushed into her again.
“I’m yours, William.” She was mine. My possession, my love, my everything. I came hard inside of her as her pussy gripped my cock, desperate for everything I could give her. I’d become obsessed—addicted to pleasing her.
I released her wrists, and the skin flushed red. I hadn’t intended to hold her so tightly. I placed a hand on either side of her head and began to rise off her, but her arms looped around my neck, pulling me back against her.
“Please don’t go.” She held me firm, and I struggled internally to give her what she needed from me. I didn’t do lovey-dovey bullshit. I didn’t cuddle and talk about my feelings. I showed her love in the only way I knew how. I kept her safe, kept her with me, and made sure she was satisfied. But I knew she needed more than that, and I wanted to give it to her.
“I don’t think I could leave you if I tried.” I pressed my forehead against hers as I closed my eyes and released a heavy breath. Her fingers slid into my hair as I struggled against everything inside of me that had told me to run, but it was too late. My heart had finally found its rhythm again. Emma was the one person who could save me, if I didn’t kill myself trying to be who she needed me to be.
The further I fell for her, the more twisted my lies became. Sooner or later, this perfect world I had created would crumble and would expose men for the monster I truly was. What would become of her love for me then?
I closed my eyes as I tangled our bodies together, desperately trying to be as physically close to her as possible. We slept on the couch, entwined in each other’s arms. It almost felt normal, like we were just another couple in love. But then the sun rose.
Chapter Two
I loved waking up with Emma in my arms. I pulled her body tight against mine, my cock hard and ready against her thigh. I could never get enough of her.
“It’s hard to imagine I’m not dreaming.” I gave her a small kiss, but as my mouth touched hers, my thoughts turned to something much darker. There could never be anything innocent between us. At least not on my end.
“If we don’t get off the couch soon, we may die of starvation.”
I laughed, as even that sounded like an invitation.
“You’re right. I haven’t eaten in a while.” I narrowed my eyes as I slid down her body. I kissed her collarbone, trailing kisses down her breast until I reached her nipple. I pulled it between my teeth, and her hands fisted in my hair as she pushed against my mouth.
“William, we need to get ready for the day.” She giggled as my mouth continued down her stomach. I pushed her legs apart and placed a kiss on her inner thigh.
“Why?” I nuzzled into her, and she squirmed to get away from me as I tickled her. I was more than content spending the day seeing how many times I could make her come.
“I want you to meet my family.”
That was definitely not what I was expecting. I looked up at her, her gaze finding mine.
“I thought you didn’t want anyone to know about us?” This was bad. Very fucking bad. I was going to lose Emma all because of her loudmouthed whore of an aunt.
“I don’t think my aunt would tell anyone about us. Besides, she doesn’t have to know who your father is.”
I had to decide, now, how far I was going to go to keep her. There was no going back at this point. She was a part of me I couldn’t function without. I crawled back up the length of her body and ran the pad of my thumb over her cheek as I looked into her big, beautiful eyes.
“I will do anything it takes to be with you.” I meant that with every fiber of my being. I would do anything for Emma. Her arms looped around my neck to hug me. I tangled my fingers in her long, dark hair and held her to me, hoping that I would still be able to do this with her tomorrow.
I was drunk off her affection, and I knew wasn’t thinking rationally when I was with her, but I was no longer in control. Things kept coming at our relationship, no matter how hard I tried to protect what we had. As much as I loved Emma, control wasn’t something I could hand over.
“Take a nice hot shower. I’ll cook us some breakfast.” I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and tried my best to look sincere as I smiled down at her. I reluctantly pulled my body from hers and held out my hand to help her up. I pulled her to her feet. Her free arm looped over her naked chest, and I tried not to take it as an insult. I had exactly bared myself to her.
“Don’t hide yourself from me.” I pulled her arm from her chest, and she hesitated before dropping it to her side. I took in every inch of her body before titling her chin up with my fingers and forcing her to look me in the eye.
“You are perfect.” Her cheeks tinged pink under my gaze. I leaned in closer to her, ghosting my lips across her neck to her ear. She sighed as she leaned her head away from me so I could have whatever I wished from her. But now wasn’t about seducing Emma. Now I needed to form a plan and do whatever I could to keep her in my life for as long as possible.
“Go take your shower before I take you into the bedroom and we don’t get anything done today.” That was all I wanted to do. She nodded and turned toward the bathroom. I smacked her lightly across her perfect ass, loving the little yelp she gave as she looked over her shoulder with a wicked grin. I watched her until she was in the bathroom and I could hear the water begin to run. I grabbed my clothes and pulled them on, not bothering to secure my belt.
I made my way into the kitchen and leaned over the island, letting out a deep sigh as I tried to figure out what my next move would be. I hadn’t exactly been thinking clearly through all of this, but no one could have predicted Emma’s aunt would be someone who could pose a threat to our relationship. If anything, I had planned on her being a nuisance we would easily be rid of when I got Emma to move in with me. I ran my hand over my jaw before slamming my fist against the hard, cold countertop.
I needed to call Stephen and see if he had any ideas of how to handle this. I grabbed my cell and dialed his number, listening to the water running in the distance. I didn’t want Emma overhearing anything Stephen and I would be discussing.
I ran my hand nervously through my hair as I paced, my eyes fixed on the bathroom. Stephen answered after three rings.
“It’s early, William. Surely you haven’t gotten yourself in to trouble already today.” He laughed, and I squeezed my eyes closed, trying to bite back my frustration. I pulled open the fridge and grabbed batter to make some pancakes.
“I have something I have to deal with, and I don’t think I am in the best frame of mind to handle it alone.” I pulled a pan out from under the island cupboard and placed it on the stove.
