Chapter 37: Chapter Thirty-six

“So… would… you… let me… go…to work?”

Mirabella’s voice was broken into pieces, her words cutting, almost choking out as her body trembled beneath him. Her mouth was half-open, gasping for air, sweat covered her whole body, but she still managed to force the question out between cries of pleasure.

Hunter’s cock drove into her relentlessly, filling her to the hilt, stretching her open so wide she could feel every inch of him, every vein pulsing inside her walls. Her hands clutched the sheets above her head, her knuckles white from gripping too tight. Sweat poured down her chest and neck, dampening the strands of her hair that stuck to her flushed skin.

Hunter lowered his head and licked the shell of her ear, his hot breath brushing her skin and sending her nerves spiraling. His voice was deep, thick with lust, vibrating in her bones.

“You can go to work…” he whispered, his tongue flicking over her earlobe before sucking it into his mouth. “…whenever you want.”

Mirabella’s eyes flew wide. She almost forgot about the merciless pounding he was giving her because his words shocked her so much.

“Are you…” her voice cracked, her body jolting with each hard thrust, “—are you for real? You wouldn't change your mind?”

A deep hum rumbled in his chest, the sound vibrating against her skin as his lips trailed down her jawline. It wasn’t just a sound, it was a confirmation to her question.

He kissed her lips next, swallowing her gasps as he captured her mouth. His kiss was hot, consuming, and yet, it was almost tender underneath the raw hunger. He moved faster inside her, the bed shaking, their bodies slick with sweat as his pace turned even brutal.

Her small hands slipped between them, pressing against his waist. “Hunter…slow down… please…” she begged, her nails dragging across his skin as she tried to make him low his rhythm.

But he ignored her plea. His hips slammed forward, his cock burying deep with every stroke. His eyes burned with need, his jaw clenched, sweat dripping down the hard planes of his face.

“You’re really going… to kill me one day… if you continue like this,” she gasped out, her voice strained as pleasure and overstimulation warred inside her body. “I can't match up to your need. You’re a sex beast, Hunter. A…fucking beast!”

He groaned, low and rough, like her words only fueled his hunger. With one hand, he grabbed her leg and lifted it high, pressing her knee toward her chest until her calf rested against his broad shoulder. His cock plunged deeper now, so deep she literally cried out, her scream echoing across the room.

Her voice carried through the walls, raw and uncontrolled. She screamed again, louder, her hands clawing at his hard butt as the overwhelming intensity consumed her.

Hunter’s lips twisted into a sinful smirk. He loved it. He loved every cry, every scream that escaped her lips because of him. Because of his cock.

He leaned over, his body pressing hers into the mattress, his pace punishing. “Scream for me, Bella,” he growled against her lips. “Scream because I’m the only man who can make you feel like this. The only one who has ever made you cum, shout, cry, beg. Mine. Only mine.”

His words sank deep into her, just as deep as his thrusts. Tears pricked her eyes, rolling down her temples, mixing with sweat.

He pushed harder, faster, until her entire body shook beneath him. The pleasure coiled tight in her belly, her body trembling, her walls clenching around him. She tried to hold on, tried to keep it in, but she was gone. Her climax ripped through her like lightning.

“Oh…Hunter!” she screamed, her nails digging into his shoulders as her entire body convulsed. Her pussy squeezed him like a vice, her juices soaking him as waves of orgasm tore through her.

Her body went limp, weak, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she struggled to catch her breath.

When his release hit him, he pulled out from her core abruptly, his cock slick and throbbing, veins bulging with strain. He sat up on his knees beside her head, stroking himself furiously. His eyes locked on her flushed, trembling face, and instinctively—without much hesitation, Mirabella parted her lips.

Her body obeyed him before her mind could catch up.

Hunter’s groan was deep, guttural, as he exploded. His hot seed spurted into her waiting mouth, thick ropes coating her tongue, filling her throat. She swallowed obediently, her throat bobbing as more spilled onto her chest, dripping down her breasts, streaking across her collarbone and neck.

He threw his head back with a shudder, his body convulsing with the force of release. The satisfaction etched across his face was undeniable. His chest heaved as he slowed, his hand squeezing the last drops out onto her mouth.

He looked at her then, his lips curling into something dark, victorious. His seed coated her inside and out, marking her in more ways than one.

“Fuck…” he whispered, dragging a hand down his face before leaning over to capture her mouth in a kiss, tasting himself on her tongue. His voice came softer this time, deep but almost tender. “…sex has never made me feel this way before. With you, Bella, it’s a whole different feeling. So different and out of this world.”

Her lashes fluttered as she stared at him, her voice barely a whisper. “Jackie told me…” she hesitated, then continued, “…she told me she was your best sex partner. That she has always been.”

His body stiffened for a moment. His jaw tensed, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

“Jackie,” he said slowly, his voice cold, dismissive, “was nothing. She was just casual and forgettable sex.” He lowered his face closer, brushing his lips against her cheek. “But you, Mirabella… you’re something I can’t even explain. You have me wrapped around your fucking little finger. Don’t mention her name or anyone else when you’re in my bed. Ever.”

Her heart thumped hard. She swallowed softly but nodded. “Okay.”

Still, she dared to press the subject she’d been holding onto. “So… what you said earlier. About me going back to work. Was that for real? You meant it right?”

Hunter paused, his thumb tracing lazily over her damp lips. His eyes softened for a moment, but the hesitation gave her the answer before his mouth did.

“I said it because I was balls deep inside you,” he admitted, his lips curving into a sly smirk. “I wasn’t thinking straight. But…” He leaned closer, pressing his forehead against hers. “I won't go back on my words. If you want to work, you’ll work. But you’ll do it under my eyes. Under my care. My watch. Twenty-four-seven.”

She blinked, and tried to protest. “Hunter you…”

“No.” His tone cut her off, sharp but firm. “No arguments. You either accept my condition or you stay at home. Those are your only choices.”

Her lips parted, but no words came out. She could see the seriousness in his eyes, the iron resolve in his tone. Slowly, she nodded. “Fine. I agree.”

His lips softened into a dangerous smile. He pulled her closer, guiding her to lie flat on his body, her ear pressed against his steady heartbeat. His arms wrapped around her, strong and unyielding.

And then she felt it. The slow, deliberate lift of her hips.

Her eyes went wide, her hands pressing against his chest. “Wait, Hunter…”

“Shh,” he hushed her, lining himself up with her soaked entrance. “You’ll take me inside you again.”

“Do you…do you never get enough? Ever?” she whispered, incredulous, her lips trembling with exhaustion.

His eyes darkened, his cock sliding back into her swollen folds. The stretch made her whimper.

“Not of you baby,” he whispered against her temple.

But instead of moving, he held still. Buried deep inside her, he simply cradled her in his arms. His hand stroked her hair as if calming her. His lips brushed her ear, his voice deep and raw. “Sleep, Bella. Just sleep.”

Her body, weak and trembling, gave in. Her eyes fluttered shut, her breathing evening out as exhaustion pulled her under.

But before she completely drifted off, his voice came one last time, low, husky, and dark with a promise.

“Next time, I’m going to fuck your ass. I’ll claim every part of you. Every inch. Bella… you can only ever have this with me. Only me.” He kissed her forehead as the darkness took his too.
