“Owen, I really will do anything for you. Please let me help you if you need it. Promise me.”
With a sideways glance, he lets me know, “I’m a man, Petra. You’re the first person who’s ever loved me for me. You’re the first person that knows what my kink is and has accepted me as I am. I’m not about to hand you over to anyone. If it means I lose the show and my practice, then so be it. As long as I have you, that’s all I need.”
Owen
Lying in the hotel bed, I hold Petra in my arms as she sleeps. My head is a mess. I’m both afraid and unafraid by everything at this moment. I love her, and that alone gives me strength I wasn’t aware I had residing inside of me.
Her lips press against my chest as she moves. Her velvety skin flows over mine as she lifts herself up and blinks at me. “Are you still awake?”
I nod and kiss her forehead. “Go back to sleep, baby.”
She doesn’t listen to me and sits up instead, as she rubs her eyes with the back of her hand. “Owen, don’t be nervous about a thing. While I was sleeping, the answer came to my settled mine.”
With a chuckle, I ask, “And what is the answer?”
“There are stiff penalties for giving out any member’s information. Just the fact Chance threatened you is enough to have him thrown out of the club, I bet. Don’t you have anyone you can talk to about it? Isabel or one of the men in charge?”
“I should go to see one of the men in charge. Isabel isn’t the person to help me with this.” I pull her to lie back down and kiss the top of her head as I cuddle her. “You’re one smart chick.”
“Thanks,” she says, and I feel her snuggling into my side. “Owen, what are you and I going to do about us and our distance between each other once summer’s over?”
“I’ve thought about that a lot. Why can’t you transfer to a college in California? Maybe UCLA? Are your grades good enough to get into that college?”
“I think so,” she says. “But where would I stay?” She sits up to look at me. “At my own place, where you’ll come to me when you want?”
“As if you’d allow that,” I say with a grin. “How about you live with me?”
“Are you sure about that?” she asks with a straight face that tells me she doesn’t entirely trust me, which hurts.
“Now, why would you ask me a thing like that?”
“Because you’ve made this decision too quickly and I think you might want a little while to think it all through.” She lays back down, resting her head on my chest.
I love the way her soft hair flows down my side. I love the way her light weight lets me know she’s there. I love everything about her, and I know my decision is the right one.
“We have the rest of the summer to hammer out the details. But that’s what I want, Petra. If that’s what you want.”
“I’ll think about it,” she says with a smile on her beautiful face.
Smacking the side of her ass, I say,“Maybe we should bring in a little impact play, you little imp. Seems you need to be taught who the boss is around here.”I laugh, and she sighs.
“Is that what you want, Owen?” she asks me as she runs her fingertip through the lines on my stomach. “Do you want to rule me?”
Pulling her up so I can look into her eyes and let her know what I want, I say, “Petra, I want you to take me as I am. I don’t want you to try to change me, and I won’t try to change you. There’ll be times when I need you to be quiet, let me come to you and get out frustrations with the world just by being with you. Sometimes sexually, sometimes not. Can you do that for me?”
“I can do anything for you,” she says, then leans her head on my shoulder. “But I’m going to have to be careful not to lose myself in the process. Can you promise to help me?”
Giving her shoulders a squeeze, I whisper, “I promise.”
Her fingers trail over my lips. “So that’s it, then. You and I are going to shack up together.”
Gazing at her, I feel she should have more than just that. Taking her hand, I kiss each fingertip. “You deserve more.”
“Having you is more than I need, Owen. Being with you is all I need.” Her words do something to my heart. It races and skips beats as I look at the perfect young woman who will be a part of my life now.
The first woman to actually be a part of my life!
Pulling her to me, I kiss her pink lips.She sighs and sends her breath down my throat. The exchange of air is erotic, sensual, and provocative.Moving her to lie back, I roll my body over hers and press against her.
