That was his wife. “I thought about it, too. I thought about being inside you, nothing forbidden. Nothing is going to come between us again. I promise you that.” He was going to make sure of it. He reached for the lube, eager to prepare her. “I’m the Dom. I should have ordered you to come back to me.”
She turned slightly, looking back, and he loved the little frown on her face. He loved the way she fought with him now. She fought to keep her place. It was easy to see she wasn’t going to let him roll over her the way he used to and there was a piece of him that thrilled to it. She was going to challenge him, force him to see her side. This was what had been missing before, what they had needed to find. “Don’t you pull the big bad Dom act with me.”
He parted the cheeks of her ass, sighing a little at the sight of her rosette. Such a pretty little asshole. So small and tight and so about to be invaded. “You like the big bad Dom, angel.”
She shivered a little as he dribbled lube on her asshole. “You needed me, too. You needed me to talk to you, but I just kept pushing. I should have thrown a fit and demanded that you pay attention to me instead of trying to top from the bottom.”
He stopped. He felt a brilliant smile creasing his mouth up. A whole, beautiful world had just opened up in front of him. “You’ve been topping from the bottom for five years, Eve.”
“Oh, shit,” she cursed under her breath. “We should talk about this. There were psychological reasons for that.”
He adored the way her skin flushed. He lubed up his middle finger and started a slow circle of that hole his dick was dying to get into. “Oh, baby, do you know how long and hard I’m going to punish you? I can’t tell you what’s going to happen to your ass when we get back to Sanctum. You are going to be the poster girl for submissive obedience.”
A little laugh puffed from her mouth even as she stiffened slightly. “I think the word you’re looking for is ‘cautionary tale’ and we should really talk about this. We need to talk about how things are going to work when we get back to Dallas. We’ve been apart for a long time. We should take things slow.”
He growled a little. She wanted to talk, and he wanted to be balls deep in her ass. He pressed his finger in slightly, just to the first knuckle. The little gasp Eve gave him went straight to his cock, making his balls pulse.
She wanted to know what would happen when they got back to Dallas? He could do that for her. He rimmed her gently, forcing her to open for him. “All right. We can take things slowly. When we get back, you’ll have an hour or so before I move everything from your apartment to mine.”
She groaned, her hands clutching the pillows in front of her. “That’s not taking things slowly.”
“It’s far too slow for me.” Another knuckle. Two deep and she was clenching at his finger. “If I had my way, I would call tonight and arrange for everything to be at my place when we get back. See, baby, I can totally compromise.”
“That’s not compromise.” Her backside clenched as he slid another finger in. “God, Alex. It’s been so long.”
This was what he should have done the whole time. The next time he and Eve fought, they would talk about it—with his dick deep inside some part of her body. They would talk between kisses and fight while they fucked, but every minute they would hold on to each other. “Yes, it is compromise. I’m the Dom so I make up the definitions of words.”
She laughed, shuddering as he scissored his fingers deep. “That’s a new one. Any other new rules I should know about?”
So many new rules. “We’re getting married again. And we’re tearing up that dumbass contract. We’ll negotiate a new one. You and me together, and you should know I’m going to push your every boundary. We’ll go to the courthouse and then you can take a few days and look for a house because I really want a house again. Something nice, with bedrooms for kids.”
She stopped, her voice a tiny rasp. “Alex, you know that won’t happen.”
“I do not.” Doctors weren’t always right, and they had only said that it might be difficult. He was done giving up on the things he wanted. He pulled his fingers out and used the wipes to clean off before lubing up his cock. “I only know that I love you, and I want a family with you. That family does not have to come out of your womb. If you want, we’ll get a surrogate, but there are thousands of children out there who would be blessed to have you as a mother.”
Eve would be a wonderful mother. He’d always seen her surrounded by family, their family.
“But you always wanted your own kids.”
She was worried about that? “Oh, make no mistake, they will be mine. They will be ours. Biology does not make a family.”
