The Tie That Binds: Chapter 32

I jump up from the sofa self-consciously when the lift doors open and wrap my arms around myself. I’m wearing a revealing silk negligee that made me feel sexy when I put it on, but now it just makes me feel shy and nervous.

Daniel walks in looking exhausted and freezes when he sees me. “Wow,” he whispers as he drops his briefcase to the floor. He stares at me with such intensity that I blush. He grins and walks up to me. As soon as he’s close enough, he pulls me to him and lowers his lips to mine. He kisses me eagerly and buries his hands in my hair. I moan and tug on his tie, loosening it before I pull it off. Daniel takes it from me and throws it on the floor.

“You can’t be trusted with ties,” he whispers, and I look away shyly. I must’ve lost my mind when I tied him up the way I did.

Daniel kisses me like he can’t get enough of me and runs his hands over my body. “This… is this for me?” he asks, his eyes wide.

I glance down at my outfit and grin. “Who else could it be for?” I whisper. I tug on his jacket and he shrugs out of it, his lips back on mine. He groans when I pull away and push him against the wall. He looks down at me with heated eyes as I slowly unbutton his shirt.

“I need you,” I tell him. “Those messages you sent me today… did you mean it?”

He tugs a strand of my hair behind my ear and cups my cheek. “About wanting you? Yes, I meant every word.”

“Good.” I push his shirt off his shoulders. Daniel shrugs out of it and lifts me into his arms. I wrap my legs around him as he kisses me and starts walking towards his bedroom. The way he kisses me is so passionate that my entire body feels sensitive. I’m aching with need.

I almost sigh in relief when he finally places me on the bed. I rise to my knees and undo his belt and zipper. He grins down at me and helps me get it off. Before long he’s standing in front of me wearing only his boxer shorts.

Before I have a chance to pull them down, he gets into bed and rolls on top of me, kissing me gently. He cups my face and runs his thumb over my lips.

“Alyssa, I can’t believe you’re really lying here with me,” he whispers. “You’re so fucking beautiful.”

He leans in and kisses me so gently, so tenderly, that my heart aches. My eyes shutter closed and I wrap my arms around his neck, wanting him closer. He pulls away a little and kisses my forehead, and then my cheeks, my nose and finally my lips. I moan as his tongue brushes against my lips.

I tug on his boxer shorts and he smiles before finally giving in and taking them off. He plays with the hem of my negligee and pushes it up. “You’re breathtaking in this, but I want you naked.” I nod and lift my hips to help him take it off. It falls to the floor as Daniel’s fingers close around my panties. He pulls them off and drops them on top of my discarded negligee.

“I’ve waited far longer to have you than you can imagine,” he whispers. He tangles his hands into my hair and rolls on top of me, his lips hovering over mine as though he’s hesitating. I cup his head and pull him closer, pressing my lips against his. He sighs and kisses me tenderly, like I’m breakable. I spread my legs and shift underneath him so he presses up against me.

Daniel tangles his tongue with mine and slowly moves his hips up and down, sliding against my wet heat. He angles himself so he’s aligned with my entrance but doesn’t push in. Instead, he keeps teasing me, sliding against my clit every time he moves.

“You’re so wet,” he whispers. He pulls back a little and lifts himself onto his forearms so he can look down at me. “So beautiful, Alyssa. I can’t get enough of you.”

He kisses me again, gently and slowly, taking his time. When he pulls back, his eyes are filled with emotions I don’t recognise. He’s never looked at me like this before, and my heart goes into overdrive. I wrap my arms around his neck.

“I want you, Alyssa.”

I nod and push my hips up so he slides into me slightly. His lips fall open and he moans. His entire body tenses and he drops his forehead against mine.

“Fucking hell, Alyssa,” he whispers, pulling back out of me.

“No,” I whimper. “I need you, Daniel. Please. I can’t wait anymore.”

He kisses me and then tangles one hand in my hair while he cups my cheek with the other. “Are you sure you want this, baby?” he asks.

I roll my hips up and his eyes fall closed, a soft whimper escaping his lips. “Yes, Daniel. I want you,” I whisper.

He fumbles around for a condom and I grab his hand. “When’s the last time you got tested?” I ask, my voice quivering.

He freezes and looks at me, bewildered. “I’ve never fucked anyone without a condom, Lyss. Not even once. I had my annual check-up a couple of weeks before we got married. I’m clean. I… I didn’t know you were worried about it. I’m sorry, I should’ve told you.”

I blush and shake my head. “I wasn’t worried, Dan. It’s just… I’m on the pill. I’ve been on it for years to regulate my periods.”

Daniel looks at me with wide eyes. “I — you… are you saying you want me bare?” he asks, his eyes darkening with desire.

I bite down on my lip. “Yeah,” I whisper. I’m embarrassed and turn my head away, suddenly feeling shy.

Daniel grins and leans in for a kiss. “Look at me, baby,” he whispers. I tilt my head, staring into his eyes. He’s looking at me so lovingly that my heart feels ready to burst. It’s like I’m all he can see, all he’ll ever want or need.

He pushes into me slightly and my lips fall open. He’s thick, and stretching me out more than I’ve ever been. I push down a sliver of panic. Should I have told him?

“You’re so tight, baby. Damn. Is this okay?” he whispers. I nod and scrape my nails over his back. He pushes in deeper, slowly. “Fuck. So tight,” he groans. He pulls back out and then pushes into me all the way, fast and hard. I cry out in pain while Daniel cries out in pleasure.

“Shit, are you okay, Lyss?” he asks, panicked. I nod as a tear escapes my eyes. “Fuck, baby. What’s wrong?”

I pull him closer to me and kiss him. “It’s nothing. It just hurt more than I expected,” I whisper. Daniel looks concerned, and I shake my head. “It’s nothing, Dan. Just kiss me for a little while, just a few minutes. Let me get used to your size.”

My muscles involuntarily contract around him and he moans, his forehead dropping against mine. “I could come just like this,” he whispers. I giggle and wrap my arms around him. He leans on one elbow and cups my face with his free hand.

“I… did I hurt you? You’re definitely wet enough, I don’t understand. Should I pull out?”

I shake my head and caress his face, trailing a path from his forehead down his nose and lips with the tip of my finger.

“Dan, it’s okay. The first time is meant to hurt. It’ll be okay soon enough,” I whisper. His concern makes way for shock and then panic. He moves to pull out of me, but I tangle my legs with his.

“Please,” I whisper, my eyes filling with tears. “I promise I’ll be okay soon, please don’t stop.” I sniff as a tear runs down my cheek. “Next time will be better, I promise. I’m sorry.”

Daniel looks at me, heartbroken. He wipes my tears away with his thumb and kisses me so tenderly that even more tears end up falling down my cheeks.

“Alyssa, my love, don’t cry. Please… You’re breaking my heart, baby.”

He kisses every tear away and cups my face gently. I look up at him, distressed. “I just… I just wanted it to be perfect. I’ve wanted this for so long, and I — now I… I ruined it.”

Daniel leans in and kisses me, over and over until I relax again and my tears subside. He pulls away and smiles at me. “I’m still rock hard. I’m still inside you. How is anything ruined, beautiful? We haven’t even started yet, and this is already the best sex I’ve ever had. You feel amazing, Lyss. So wet for me, so tight. This is absolutely perfect, my gorgeous wife. So much better than I ever could’ve dreamed.”

He pulls back slightly and pushes back in, moving little by little. It doesn’t hurt anymore, but it also doesn’t feel as good as I thought it would. It’s tight and uncomfortable.

He kisses me as he moves in and out. His lips caress mine so gently that I’m filled with tenderness. “Daniel,” I whisper. He leans back a little to look at me. He looks tense and turned on, and it’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. “You don’t need to hold back,” I whisper, worried that it doesn’t feel good for him. He closes his eyes and bites down on his lip.

“Baby, I’ve been ready to burst from the moment I sank into you. I’m not holding back, I’m just trying my best to make sure your first time lasts more than a couple of thrusts, but fuck. I’ve wanted you for so long and so badly…”

I laugh and rake my nails over his scalp. I pull him towards me and kiss him deeply. He moans against my lips and picks up the pace. He leans back a little to look into my eyes and then thrusts hard. “Alyssa, my love… I can’t… I’m gonna come, baby.” I nod and tilt my hips up to meet his frantic thrusts. “Yes… Fuck yes, Alyssa,” he moans. His entire body tenses and he closes his eyes as he collapses on top of me.

Well, damn. That’s gotta be the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.

“Sorry, I must be heavy,” he whispers. I shake my head and hug him tighter. He slowly softens inside me, the sensation novel to me. After a couple of minutes, he slips out and presses a quick kiss to my lips.

“Stay here, babe.”

He comes back a minute later with a wet wipe in his hands and lifts the sheets. I gasp in horror when I look down and clutch the blankets, trying my best to cover myself with them again. My thighs are stained with what looks like a mixture of sperm and blood. I’m sure there’s not actually that much blood, but it looks horrific.

Daniel kneels down in front of me and brushes my hair behind my ear. “Let me, my love. It would mean the world to me if you’d let me take care of you now.”

I bite down on my lip and nod, releasing my death grip on the covers. Daniel tugs it away gently and spreads my knees. He looks at me so intently that I can’t help but look away. “Daniel, it’s embarrassing,” I whisper.

He shakes his head and wipes my thighs, cleaning me up delicately. “It’s not, Lyss. It’s fucking beautiful,” he says, genuinely sounding like he’s in awe. I glance at him and he’s looking at me so adoringly that I blush, a smile tugging at my lips.

“Come on, baby.” He grabs me and lifts me into his arms. “I’m running you a bath. That’ll make you feel better for sure.”
