Slowly, he skimmed his hands over me, not bothering to remove my clothes. I squirmed on the bed. I would not give in. I would not beg him.
But I knew he would test me to my limits.
I gasped as he rubbed the flat of his palms lightly over my breasts. Brisk circles of slight pressure, making my nipples poke through the silk of my top. I cursed. Why hadn't I worn a bra? He had too much power over me, exposed the way I was.
He wedged himself between my thighs and started pulling the rest of my clothes off of me.
"You like running, don't you? You know I won't let you get away from me now. Not this time, Francesca."
I scowled at him. I didn’t enjoy being scolded like a schoolgirl. Then I gasped again as his hands started to play with my bare pussy. His cock pressed against me there.
But I wanted it inside me.
"Are you going to run again, Francesca?"
I smiled at him coldly, lifting my chin to glare at him.
"I'll do whatever I want!"
He cocked his eyebrow at me arrogantly and pulled back. I moaned in frustration. Why didn't he just get on with it?
"Are you sure about that?"
I gritted my teeth and ignored him as his fingertips explored my body. He chuckled at me, a low maddening sound. I had a terrible feeling that I would not be able to fight him all night.
"Now my sweet, I want to have you. But first we are going to come to an agreement."
"Just get on with it, Daniel.”
He laughed again. He had me just where he wanted me and he knew it. The arrogance in his handsome face was infuriating.
"We are just getting to know each other, Francesca. But we can't do that if you keep running away. I want you to agree to stay put, at the estate, while we see where this goes. That's all."
I stared at him.
“Go to hell!”
“Are you sure that’s what you want to say to me right now?”
"Nobody tells me where to go. Nobody tells me what to do!”
He clucked his tongue and started kissing his way down my body. I knew where this was heading. I circled my hips in anticipation as he pressed his lips against my sex.
One light, feathery kiss.
Then nothing.
Cool air hit my skin as he blew on me, sending shivers up and down my spine.
"I don't want to control you. I just want you to give me a chance."
His tongue danced lightly over my lips.
"Ahhhhh..."
He was smiling as he kissed me there. I could feel it. Little nibbling kisses that were driving me mad.
“Well, maybe I’d like to control you. But only some of the time. In bed. Is that really so much to ask?"
"Hmmmfff... Daniel..."
He lifted his head to look at me.
"Yes?"
"Please..."
He shook his head ruefully and went back to taunting me with his amazing mouth. His hands rubbed my hips soothingly. But I was not soothed. I was burning up. Aching. Empty.
It went on for so long that I started to lose a sense of time. It was dark outside now, I knew that. And still Daniel was toying with me, using his tongue to keep me on the edge.
Finally, I had enough. I was willing to compromise. I had to. I would go insane if he did not give me release. My voice was raw and husky when I finally broke my silence.
"How long?"
He lifted his head again.
"How long what?"
"How long... do you want me for?"
He tilted his head as he stared at me. I could see a muscle tick in his jaw.
"I'm not sure yet. Why?"
His fingers continued the slow teasing work of his mouth while we bargained.
"I will stay... Ahhhh! I will stay for two weeks."
"Six."
"Four."
He smiled at me innocently.
"Four weeks. To start. Promise me, Francesca. You are mine for four weeks."
I moaned as he bent down and pressed his tongue inside me.
"Ye– yes!"
"Say it. I am yours for four weeks, Daniel."
I whimpered. He wasn't playing fair. His tongue was circling inside me, stroking every sensitive inch of me.
"I am– oh God!"
"Say it, Francesca. I can stay down here all night. I can wait. Can you?”
"No.... Please!"
He was silent, his breath fanning my skin as he waited.
"I am yours... for four weeks."
He grinned, sliding up my body.
"With an option to renew."
"I didn't say–"
I stopped speaking as he flexed his hips, driving his cock inside me. It was bare. He was taking me without protection.
"Daniel!"
He grinned down at me as he started making lazy thrusts with his hips.
"Do you want me to stop?"
"NO! Don’t you dare. I– oh...."
The feel of him was like nothing I had ever felt. Skin on skin. No one had ever dared to take me unprotected before. I had never dared.
Not even with my ex fiancé.
It felt like nothing else on earth.
