“I hear you breathing. You’re scared, aren’t you? I bet your heart is racing. I bet you want to run, but you can’t run from me. I will catch you no matter where you go, and if you run, you’ll have broken the rules, and I’ll have to punish you.”
I’d never wanted to run so badly in my life.
I remembered how incredibly good it had felt when he’d spanked my ass until it burned. How he’d made me let go, made me give in like I never had before.
“Are you going to come out or do I have to come get you?”
I wondered if he could hear my heart slamming against my ribs as easily as he could hear me breathing. I didn’t move. I didn’t speak. I was going to wait.
Footsteps. He was closer. Closer. Then he reached around the tree and seized my arm, yanking me against him.
“Mine.”
“Yes.” I whispered the word against his lips as he kissed me. His crutches hit the ground, and his hands slipped into my hair, gripping it tightly, holding me in place as he plundered my mouth.
I was breathless when he broke away.
“Come on,” he said taking hold of my hand.
“Where are we going?”
“I laid out a blanket on some nice, soft grass. I’m going to put you on the ground and fuck you until you can’t breathe.”
That sounded fucking perfect. “Did you know where I was from the beginning?”
“By the time I got off the ATV and surveyed my surroundings, I was almost certain. Then I heard you move, and I knew for sure, but I wanted you waiting. I wanted you uncertain. I wanted you getting more and more desperate more and more needy because I’m not going to show you any mercy. I’m going to give you everything you want, not just here, not just tonight, but for always.”
“Ghost, I—”
“No.” He put a finger against my lips. “You deserve everything. I’m staying right here to give it to you. I’m as much yours as you are mine. Now come with me before I lose it and fuck you right here on top of the pine straw. I won’t give a fuck whether it digs into your knees. I won’t care if I shove you down and press your face against the ground. I can’t wait any longer.”
I sucked in a breath. “You are so fucking hot.”
“And you are perfect for me. I was a fool to ever leave you.”
“Make me yours, Ghost. Please.”
He left his crutches lying on the ground, and I didn’t say anything. Whatever the distance was, he could make it. Once we were back at the house, I was going to insist he do everything properly to let his foot heal, but right now, we needed each other even more.
When we reached the blanket, I grabbed the edge of his t-shirt, lifting it up. “I need to see you. I need to touch you.”
He smiled. “I’ve always loved how eager you are.”
I reached for the fastenings of his pants, but he shook his head. “You first. I want to get you naked before I deal with getting these over my foot.”
“If it would be easier, you could drive back to the house. We could—”
“Not a chance in hell. Take off your clothes, or I’ll rip them off for you.”
“Really?”
“If you want to go back to the house naked, that’s your choice.”
“You wouldn’t really let everyone see me. You’re way too possessive.”
He wrapped a hand around my neck, pressing a thumb into the front of my throat, forcing me to tilt my head upward. “No one else gets to touch you. No one else gets what I get from you.”
He released the pressure, allowing me to speak. “That’s absolutely true. No one gets the parts of me that you do.”
He brushed his thumb across my cheek. “I love you, every part of you.”
“Fuck me, Gabriel.”
He rolled his eyes and opened his jeans, pushing them and his boxers down and exposing his beautiful, thick cock.
“Let me help you.”
He hesitated for a moment, then he sank to his knees and shifted until he was sitting on his ass. I tugged his pants the rest of the way down, pulled his shoe off his good foot and helped him ease his protective boot from the other one. Once he was free of his pants, I made him put it back on. “You need something to protect your foot.”
“Get on your hands and knees,” he demanded.
He clearly knew I was right, but he didn’t like it.
He slapped my ass hard as I moved into position. “This ass is mine. I can do anything I want to it.”
“Why is that so fucking hot?” I asked.
“Because we were made for each other.”
“Fuck, I think we were.” He brought his hand down again and again. It was all I could do to suck in air. “You said you’d… punish me if… I ran. I didn’t run.”
