Page 56 of Wrapped in Perfection

"Tell me what you want from me."

The steam gets thicker. The blue in her eyes flickers against the gray air.

"I want permission to take care of you how I see fit. I need your trust, and to know you believe in your heart, I'm not him. No matter what, I would never do anything to hurt you."

Tears drip down her cheeks. Her lip quivers.

"In return, you get my trust. You get to decide how to take care of me. And I won't question anything. I'll know everything you do comes from in here." I press my hand over her heart.

She nods. "Okay."

"Yes? You give me permission?"

"Yes."

I brush my lips against hers and put her hand over my heart. "Good. I give you my full trust."

She parts her lips, and our tongues flick with a new hunger. Before, I wanted to make her mine. Now, she is. And I'll give every good piece of me I have to her.

I pick her up and turn so her back is against the wall, entering her in one fluid movement.

Her cry echoes against the walls, followed by her sweet whimpers as I thrust into her. She digs her nails into my shoulder.

"My trust is with you until you don't want it anymore," I tell her, giving her full permission to wreck me someday but knowing she needs to see the power of what I'm giving her. "Do you understand?"

"Yes," she whimpers. Her mouth forms an O, and she arches her back, pressing her breasts into me.

Then I make it clear what her permission means to me. "No one will hurt you, my kotik. If they do, they will receive my wrath. And I will not give you the details. Not because I don't trust you but because it's better if you do not know. This is part of how I protect you."

She struggles to keep her eyes open and loudly moans. Her walls spasm around my cock and body trembles against mine.

I push her wet hair off her forehead. "I want to hear you agree to my terms. I can't have you in all ways and not this."

Her heady eyes and flushed face are so beautiful. She doesn't know it or the power she holds over me. And as much as I want her as mine, I want to be hers, too. To know she's claiming me and no one else.

"Tell me," I growl.

"I agree," she blurts out.

I kiss her, pounding into her quicker, muffling her cries of ecstasy.

"What do you want from me in return? Tell me," I murmur in her ear.

"You...oh God... Dmitri... I only...like this...always wanting me..." Her tear-filled blue eyes kill me.

She believes I will lose interest in her, and that she is not sustainable perfection.

I kiss her and hold her chin. "There isn't any other woman on earth like you. Every part of you is extraordinary. And I am not a fool. I will never tire of worshiping you. Do you understand?"

"Promise me," she whispers and closes her eyes.

"Open your eyes, kotik."

She obeys, and tears fall.

"I promise you."

She nods.
