Murmured words have my eyes opening and lazily assessing my surroundings. Weâre in a private jet, and if Iâm not mistaken, itâs the same one that brought me to Colorado a couple of months ago.
As I sit up, I catalog everything that transpired in such a short time frame. I left my cheating husband, fell in love with a grumpy Crown and his family, and found out that the past two years of my life were all a lie. I close my eyes again, shaking my head and letting out a long and tired sigh.
âI know. Ditto.â Penâs voice has my eyes shooting up and I see sheâs coming out of a room in the back of the jet.
Immediately upon seeing her, guilt gnaws at my soul. âPenelope. God, Iâm so sorry.â
Iâm about to go into a full-blown apology when her raised palm stops me. âDonât even. I already know what youâre going to say, and I donât want to hear it. Iâve thought about this a lot, and if I were in your shoes, I wouldâve done the same exact thing. Hell, I probably wouldâve been even more ruthless. I mean, we are talking about my baby daddy.â
Relief floods me at her words, but Iâm not letting myself off the hook that easily. âStill, that shouldâve been a choice that you made. Instead, I thrust you into it.â
Sheâs shaking her head, that smile of hers never leaving her lips. âLook. Itâs clear youâre in love with Austin. Thatâs why you did what you did. And take it from one love struck girl to another. Itâs all water under the bridge. Now, if you hadnât called me when my man was in danger, then we wouldâve had problems.â
Her smile finally drops, and she pins me with a poignant stare. I know what sheâs saying is true, because thatâs how I would feel had the roles been reversed. Iâd rather be put in danger a million times over if it meant I had a chance at saving the man I love.
And speaking of the devil, Austin comes into the main cabin with Jack trailing behind.
âYouâre up.â Austinâs smile takes my breath away, and Iâve never been gladder to be alive than I am right now.
I nod, a sudden shyness taking me over. âI am.â
âGood. I need a moment with my girl.â Without preamble, Austin swoops down and takes me in his arms, the pressure against my shoulder making me wince as he walks us to the rear of the jet.
Weâve almost reached the door when my whimper has Austinâs brows pushing together and his steps faltering. âYou hurt?â
âItâs nothing. I just hit my shoulder when I fell earlier.â I attempt a weak smile, but heâs not buying it.
âWeâll need to have that looked at.â He continues his path toward the room Penelope just left and I see that itâs a small bedroom, complete with a bed and an attached bath.
âWow. I didnât know this was here.â Iâm still looking around in awe when Austin lowers me onto the bed.
âIt is, and weâre going to put it to good use.â He peppers kisses across my face before looking down at me. âBut first, we have some things to discuss.â
âOh, we do?â Iâm gnawing on my lip, pretty sure what these discussions will entail.
Austin nods, his eyes losing their heat and filling with sadness. âWhat you told your mom about wanting to try again with Ray, was that real?â
I roll in my lips and suck in a deep breath through my nose. âIâm not going to lie to you and say that the guilt of cheating on Ray wasnât getting to me, that I doubted if you and I shouldâve been doing what we were doing. But no, I never wanted to leave the way I did. I would never do that to you or the kids.â
The sadness in his eyes lifts a bit, but his face doesnât return to the smiling one it had been before, and I canât stand it.
Sitting up in the bed, I take his face and cup it between my hands. âListen to me. You are everything I never knew I needed. You understand me in a way no one ever has. Only you, Austin Crown, can fill this void inside of me and make me whole.â His eyes are turning glassy, and I pray that heâs really listening to what Iâm saying. âEven if it wouldâve taken me months to figure out, thereâs no doubt in my mind that I would always choose you. To hell with being proper and keeping my word to any other man. It would all be illusory because my heart and soul could only belong to you. You are my everything.â
My big strong alpha releases a lone tear, the wetness trickling down the sharp lines of his masculine face and hitting my fingers in a reminder that Iâve touched him. Hopefully in the same way he has me. âBaby girl, those are the sweetest words Iâve ever heard. I know this may be a bit too soon, and the timing couldnât be more wrong, but I fucking love you.â
I break down in front of my man, releasing all the pent up fear and anxiety Iâd been holding onto since I left Colorado. âI love you too, Austin. So so much.â
He pulls me into his arms, resting his lips on the crook of my neck and breathing me in. âGood, then itâs settled. Youâre mine, and as soon as my legal team can dissolve your ties to that dickbag, then youâll bear my name.â
My body tenses. Is he saying what I think heâs saying? Pulling away as much as I can, I look Austin in the eyes. âWas that your way of asking me to marry you?â
Austin gives me a soft chuckle. âNo, baby. I wasnât asking. Iâm telling. Youâre mine and Iâm yours, and nothing anyone can say or do is stopping this trajectory of bliss weâre on.â
Iâm blinking away tears now, looking at the love of my life through blurry eyes. Yes, he might be overbearing and a little controlling, but I love every little bit of it because he loves me just the way I amâscars and all.
I lightly smack him on the chest. âFine. Iâm agreeing to this half-assed proposal, but only because I know I can put you in your place when needed. Remember, Austin,â I lower my hand and grip his surprisingly erect cock between my fingers. âIâm the one who truly holds the power.â
A deep growl reverberates from Austinâs chest as his body presses into mine, lowering me onto the bed. âThereâs no secret there, baby girl. My mind, body, and soul are yours for the taking. Now shut up and let Daddy make you feel good.â
God, yes. I want nothing more than to lose myself in him and the pleasure he provides. Iâm overcome with the need to taste him, my tongue reaching out and licking a hot path up the column of his neck before sinking my teeth into the taut flesh.
âFuck. Is my little baby horny? Does she need this big cock?â
Still latched on to his neck, I give him a small nod, humming as I lap at the mark Iâve just left him. Mine. This strong alpha male is all mine.
âDammit. Youâre wearing too much.â After having grown accustomed to my easy access dresses, Austin is struggling with my yoga pants, and I canât help but chuckle, earning me a growl from an already exasperated man. âOh, you think this is funny?â
Iâm about to tell him yes, when he flips me onto my stomach, making me yelp. Heâs ripping down my pants, the cool air hitting my backside before Iâm sucking in a sharp breath and his open palm is slapping my bare ass. I should be appalled, getting spanked like a child, but I love it. Dare I even say, I need it? Yes. I definitely need it.
Wiggling my ass in his face, I look back at him over my shoulder. âHarder, Daddy.â
Austinâs eyes turn molten, his nostrils flaring in response. âOh, Iâll give you harder, baby girl.â
He issues a punishing blow to the other cheek, and Iâm still reveling in the sharp sting when his open palm repeatedly slaps my swollen lips with fast little strikes. One. Two. Three.
Ohmyfuckinggod. Iâm a whimpering writhing mess under his grasp, his big hands holding me up by the hips and keeping me from sliding down onto the bed.
I canât believe I almost came from that alone. And as if he knows Iâm a hairâs breadth away from release, Austin lets one of his calloused hands trail down to my damp slit, his thick fingers parting my folds and making him hiss.
âThese juices, baby, theyâre enough to drive a man mad.â
Iâm about to babble some incoherent string of words when a hot mouth on my pussy has me moaning instead. Lord Jesus. Nothing, absolutely no toy or man, could have a thing on Austinâs lips. Theyâre magical.
And if his lathing up my aching core wasnât enough, my world sways as his long tongue slides inside of me, fucking me in slow rhythmic thrusts while his thumb circles my swollen clit. Iâm so lost in this man, I canât help but chant. Yes, Daddy. Yes, Daddy. Yes, Daddy.
Austin growls into me, his tongue continuing its assault as his thumb and forefinger end me with one final pinch to my aching bundle of nerves, and I shatterâsplintering into a million tiny pieces of release as I twitch and shake beneath Austinâs hold.
Iâm still tingling from the explosion of pleasure when Austin flips me onto my back, my legs splaying to either side of him and leaving a cradle just for him.
A love drunk Austin is staring back down at me, his hooded eyes spelling nothing but more delicious pleasure. âOh, Iâm far from done with you, little girl.â
I smile in response, ready for anything this man has in store. Feeling myself flushed, I raise a brow and bite the corner of my lip before answering. âIâd be disappointed if you were.â
Austin throws his head back in a deep chuckle, the action showing off the strong column of his neck and the possessive mark Iâve left behind before he lowers his face back to mine. âYouâre a little brat, arenât you? Thatâs okay. Iâll enjoy spanking the sass out of you.â
One of Austinâs possessive hands goes to my ass, squeezing it before his open palm trails up my thigh and he sinks his fingers into the flesh around my knee, pushing it to the side and leaving my core completely exposed.
A growling Austin shakes his head. âNever. Thatâs when Iâll have enough of this perfect little cunt.â Both of his hands are on either of my knees, holding me open as he greedily stares. âNow be a good little girl and stroke me. Show Daddy how much you want his cock.â
Iâm panting, turned on by his dirty words and no longer feeling any shame for this game we play. Needing to make him feel as good as he makes me feel, I take his velvet sheathed steel into my hands and pump, paying extra attention to the mushroom tip. Iâm practically drooling as I watch each stroke make my man react, his chest rising and falling rapidly as I continue my pumping.
âNow, baby.â Austinâs words come out ragged. âTake that big dick and shove it into your tight little hole. Make Daddy feel good.â
Oh god, yes. I drop one hand, guiding my hips toward his pulsing cock, the long, turgid flesh now twitching in my hold as I swipe the tip up and down my soaking slit. Wanting more, I rub my clit with his fat head, pushing the tiny pearl side to side and moaning as the slick flesh edges me closer to climax.
âBaby,â Austin growls. âStop playing with Daddy and fuck that cock.â
I grin like a fool, but the smile quickly falls from my lips when Austin slams into me deep, his balls slapping against my ass as he curses up a storm.
âChrist. Thatâs tight,â Austin grits through clenched teeth.
I canât answer, too caught up in the feeling of his thickness inside of me. Whoever said size doesnât matter was full of shit. Austinâs dick is the perfect combination of length and girth, making me quiver and shake from the first moment heâs inside of my walls.
My fingers dig into Austinâs chiseled chest, the nails trailing down in a possessive hold and leaving my mark. Mine. This man is all mine and Iâm never letting go. He gives me everything I never knew I needed, and Iâll do whatever I can to be the same for him. He more than deserves it.
âCome back to me, baby.â Austinâs hand reverently cups my cheek. âDonât get lost in that pretty head of yours.â
God, how does he know me so well?
But as he slides out and slams into me hard, I know. I know that the reason we understand each other is because we were made for one another. Soulmates.
His hand that had been on my cheek now trails to my nape, positioning my head so my gaze is now forced to be on where weâre connected.
âLook at that, baby. How good that tight little pussy takes Daddyâs big cock.â
Jesus. His words have me clamping down around his girth, soaking in the naughty nature of our intimacy. He knows just what to say, what words will trigger these dark desires inside of me. And not only does he indulge me, but he also comes alive under their spell. Heâs the perfect half to my whole.
âYes, baby.â Austinâs mouth falls open. âJust like that. Milk Daddyâs cock.â
Lord! His dirty words are like a command, demanding I let him have my release. And like an obedient little girl, I let him have it, my walls tensing and releasing over and over his girth, pulling his milky cum into my womb and making my own climax extend, blending in with his and making it one tangle of pleasure and ecstasy.
As his body falls on top of mine, our heavy breathing the only sound in the otherwise silent room, I know I mustâve done something right in life. This sort of happily ever after is something I once thought was only possible in books. But God, how glad am I to have been wrong.
Knowing this is what my forever looks like, Iâll gladly accept the error of my ways.
