Page 78 of Under His Watch

“Oh, fuck.” My response was punched out of me as the vibrator lodged deep inside me. With it in there, firing up my nerves and pushing me closer to climax, he slid into my ass, inch by inch. It felt like forever, an eternity of him stretching and filling both my holes, but all too soon, he ramped up the speed.

His thighs smacked against the back of mine. His hand grew wetter with my arousal dripping out along the vibe and over his fingers, so he smeared it on my legs as he pistoned the toy in and out of me.

When he pulled out the toy, he slammed his dick into my ass. Then on the retreat, he’d plunge the vibe right back in. See-sawed with the double hardness in me, I was a goner all too soon.

In a glorious moment of tears, shouted curses, and gritty moans, I came just before he did.

“Fuck,” he roared, stilling his shaft inside me as he spurted his hot cum.

I tensed and cried out through the absolute euphoria of coming so hard. Dizzy and overwhelmed, I rode through the pleasure from the pain, the release from the tension, and all the sweet relief of coming apart as my pussy clenched and throbbed.

“Fuck, Tess.Fuck.” He slowly pulled out of me, and I moaned at the drag on my sensitive flesh. His cum leaked out my ass as he removed the vibe, but he didn’t releaseme.

In his arms, I sagged and went limp, too spent and wrung out to move. Catching my breath felt like an impossible feat, but he held me up with him until we could stagger into the bathroom. He carried me, clumsy in his steps. Pressed against his chest, I smiled sleepily at the evidence of how hard he’d come too.

So blissed out and dazed from the force of coming like that, I was barely aware of being in the bathroom, much less that he was running a shower for us. While he turned the faucets on and steam quickly filled the room, I leaned against the wall and hoped I wouldn’t slide to the floor.

“Come here,” he said softly as he gathered me into his arms.

Into the water, we went, and I was relieved that he took over the act of washing us both. I’d just showered. He had to have too, with his hair wet. What we did might have felt “dirty”, but as an act of love, it felt perfect as well.

“My sweet, sexy woman,” he crooned once we were rinsed off. Huddled together, we sighed and enjoyed the pressure of the water raining down on us.

“I love you. So fucking much,” he said.

I grinned, knowing he’d feel the rise of my cheek on his chest.

No man had ever said those words to me, directly, and I didn’t want to receive them without looking him in the eye.

“What?” I asked as I peered up at him.

He blocked the water from hitting my face, but still, we both squinted. “I love you.”

“And I love you, Romeo.” I sealed it with a kiss that felt tender and serious at the same time.

When he stepped back slightly, he gave me that somber expression of intense focus. “And I’m going to marry you. As soon as I can.”

My cheeks hurt with how widely I smiled. “You are?”

“Will you marry me?” he amended.

I had been wondering what label would apply to me, and now I’d know. My heart swelled with love, and I held in a squeal of excitement that this bad boy wanted me to be his wife. “I can’t wait to marry you, Romeo.”

He smiled slowly, lowering to kiss me once more.

ROMEO

Fucking Tessa like that took the edge of the madness brewing within me, but it was the slower, more delicate and tender lovemaking the next morning that seemed to really “cure” me. In her arms, relaxing in knowing she was fine and unharmed, I cherished all that she represented.

“I did shoot at him,” she said nervously when she recounted what happened with Nina at the store.

I shook my head. “I don’t think you hit any of them.”

She exhaled a long breath of relief. “I can handle your being the killer. But I don’t know ifIwant to join that club.”

I kissed her brow and smiled. “Me neither. I want to protect you, Tess. I don’t want you to ever be in the position to have to defend yourself like that or take a life.”
