Walking into the house, I drop the keys into the dish, by the door, a little louder than characteristic. She walks in behind me, obviously uneasy. I close the door, lock it, and head to the kitchen. Pouring myself a glass of water I quickly chug it, trying to settle my nerves. It doesn’t work. Only one thing will. I turn around. She is standing at the bottom of the steps. The hem of her shawl in her hands, she shuffles it through her beautiful digits.
Her voice cracks as she asks without looking at me, “Why are you mad?”
She looks amazing. It has been over a year since we’ve been able to go out. I feel like an asshole for ruining the evening. The exchange runs through my thoughts again. I close my eyes and let it play out entirely, in my mind.
Moments go by in almost silence. Only the sound of rain and thunder cut through the night. My eyes open, and she’s looking at me. I can tell a million questions are going through her stunning brain.
“You belong to me. You are mine. I belong to you. I am yours.” My voice is stern. More than I had intended. I calm it down and step closer to her. She looks up at me, her eyebrows furrowed. Then I see it. The realization paints her face. Questions turn to regret, in her expression. I drop to my knees in front of her. I grab her hands. She is startled by my next move.
I start kissing her fingers quickly. Making sure to cover as much skin as I can. My hands grab her wrists, I tug her closer. She steps toward me. I start kissing her wrists and forearms. Frantically kissing, almost as if I am searching. I get to her elbows and upper arms. She wraps her fingers through my hair, balling her fist in my golden mane. My arms wrap around her legs, I hug her close. Kissing up her arms. I look up at her.
My Goddess. My queen. My everything. My sub. My mate. My life.
Tears well in her eyes, but the aroused breathing from her lips excites me. But I’m not done. I beseech, “Please get undressed. I need your skin.”
