Page 9 of Hawk's Sapphire

Sadie smiles a soft smile and shrugs.“I know my limits.”Her eyes darken with need and my resolve slips.

I want nothing more than to test those limits.

I nod, standing to my feet, with Sadie still in my arms.I set her down momentarily to grab the bucket of water she keeps near the pit, pouring it out, dousing the flames.The sizzling sound of water hitting the wood while thick smoke fills the air.After placing the bucket back in its place, I turn to her and brush my finger down her cheek.Sadie leans into my touch, closing her eyes, releasing a sweet humming sound.

“You know I can help you forget about whatever’s got you upset.But you’re going to tell me, eventually.”She eyes me skeptically.“You know what I’m offering?”I ask, inching closer, lowering my voice.“Let me take care of you tonight.”It’s not a question, but it needs to be her choice.Sadie wants to forget, and I know just how to help her relax and let go if she’ll let me.She needs this.Hell, I do too if I’m honest.I’ve needed her for a long time now.I’ve just been too stubborn to admit it.

That changes tonight.

There’s an electrical current pulsing through my veins with each touch of her skin.I’ll lay my claim tonight and we’ll sort this bullshit about her leaving tomorrow.But for now, we both need to have a come to Jesus moment and lay all our bullshit excuses aside.

Sadie’s mine.

We move toward the back door of the house.With my hand on her shoulder, I follow Sadie inside, kicking the door shut and locking it behind me.I pull the blanket from her hands tossing it over the back of the couch as we pass it heading down the hall, toward her room.

Once inside, I close the door and nudge her to stand in the center of the room.“Hands above your head Sapphire.”Sadie shivers at my command and does as I say, slowly.Her eyes track my every move as I circle her body.Her hands rise above her head.Slowly, I inch the soft material of her sweater up, from her knees, over her hips, grazing her skin with my fingers as I go.Her breathing picks up as I rid her of her sweater, dropping it to the floor.Wrapping my arm around her, splaying my hand across the soft skin of her belly, I pull her back against me.Her bare back against my chest as I lay soft kisses on the spot on her neck behind her ear.

I’ve always wondered if she was sensitive there.

The goosebumps covering her skin are my answer.I follow their trail, caressing her arms and bringing them to rest at her sides.“Good girl.”Her breath hitches.It’s a small sound, but I hear it.The rebellious woman likes being praised.

Noted.

SADIE

The stubborn man takes his time, gently skimming my skin with the tips of his fingers until he gets to the clasp of my bra, unhooking it and dropping it next to my sweater on the floor.His hands come up to caress and knead my breasts, gently tugging at my taut nipples.I’m not sure what I like in the bedroom, my experience is limited, but the feel of his fingers pinching and rolling my nipples feels fucking amazing.I let out a small whimper at the mixture of pain and pleasure he so expertly delivers.An appreciative moan escapes, my head falls back on Hawk’s shoulder.I keep my eyes closed as he continues his onslaught.I’m so fucking turned on by just him playing with my nipples, I tilt my hips back seeking more.Seekinghim.

His right hand travels slowly, teasingly down my abdomen stopping at the button of my jeans.My body is so ready for him, it’s screaming for him to hurry the fuck up, but I don’t want him to rush any part of this.If this, is the only time I’ll ever have to experience what it is to be with Nathaniel, I want to savor every little detail.Burn it all into my memory.

With a flick of his fingers, the button on my jeans pops.With a slight tug, opening the fabric, the zipper falls.Rubbing his hands around my waist, he expertly pushes the denim down over my hips and down to the lush carpet below.

“You’re thrusting your hips back, greedy girl.”He hums against my neck.My breathing is coming in pants.I’m already on edge, needing his touch, craving everything I know Nathaniel can do to me.

“Mine.”He growls, and my eyes fly open at his words.

He doesn’t mean it.It’s the heat of the moment.Don’t let it go to your heart.

His hand travels back up my body, brushing my breast.I whimper in protest.What the hell am I doing?Until his hand reaches my throat gripping it firmly, restricting my air just enough to make the point - he’s in charge.A reminder that he’s in control.It’s him who’s making me feel this good.Nathaniel owns me.

Just for tonight.

“Fucking mine.”Nathaniel says in my ear then nips it with his teeth.

His other hand travels to my panties, breaching the thin scrap of elastic until his finger skims past my swollen clit, stroking through the wetness.I should probably feel embarrassed by how wert I am, but I can’t find it in me to care.I want this.I wanthim.Even though I know it will hurt like hell tomorrow, I still want to know what it’s like to be owned and ravished by the only man to own my heart.For tonight, I want him to own my body too.

Nathaniel growls his approval and nips at my neck, licking over the same spot, relieving some of the sting with his tongue.“Who is this for Sapphire?Who makes your pussy this wet?”He slides one finger inside me and then another, stroking in and out slowly.Jesus.If he’s this good with his fingers, I can’t wait to feel his cock.

I’m lost in the sensation of his fingers and the way he plays my body like a fucking instrument, I forget to answer.His hand leaves my throat, reaching around to tug the hair at the nape of my neck.My eyes shoot open, staring at the intensity looking back at me in his.“Answer me, or I’ll stop and send you to bed a wanting, needy mess.”

“Asshole.”I snap.His grip tightens in response.

“Try again.”

“You.Youmake me this wet.”I tell him honestly.He releases my hair and my shoulders drop, relaxing my body into his once again.

“Mmmm.”He increases his rhythm, stroking harder, faster, curving his fingers until they hit that perfect place causing my walls to squeeze and pulse.Nathaniel pushes the heel of his palm to my clit adding just the right amount of pressure while his other hand pinches and twists my nipple hard.I’m so fucking close.
