On Becoming His (10 page)

“Not yet.
Dinner can wait.
Come here.”

“Yes, sir.” Setting her glass down, she moved toward him, her heart racing. When he took her hands into his and sighed, she almost melted. This man was such an incredible turn on.

“My appetizer first.”

“Sir?” As he slid his ha
nds under her dress, she gasped. And then she knew what he wanted. As he lifted her slowly, placing her on top of the table, her entire body shivered. Every move totally in control, he laid her down on her back, pushing her dress up past her thighs.

“My feast. Your pretty pussy.” Grunting, he raised her legs, pushing them back to her chest. “I’ve missed tasting you.”

Closing her eyes, the moment she felt his tongue swipe across her clit, she shivered and raised her arms over her head.
Jezebel moaned as the heat from his hands tickled her, sending her mind and senses reeling. This was so provocative and so damn hot and for several seconds she simply fell into
a bliss
like state, hungry for so much more.

Luke wrapped his arms around her thighs and yanked her ass past the end of the table. As he pressed his tongue deep inside her pussy, he
swirled the tip of his finger around her clit.

“
Oooohhh
…yes, I….” Instantly gulping for air, Jezebel arched h
er back as he continued licking.
She was on fire, her pulse racing and with every swipe of his tongue a heightened level of rapture coursed through her body. As he continued his feast, Jezebel
allowed herself to fall into his control.

They shared a
drink and talked through dinner, lost in conversation and gentle nudging. While she wondered the entire time when he was going to ask her to sign the contract, she’d resigned herself into knowing he would only when he was ready. Or knew she was.

After clearing the dishes, she shivered when she felt his hand on the small of her back.

“Are you certain you know what I’m asking?” Luke asked quietly, his voice full of a sensuous husk.

“Yes,” Jezebel breathed as she closed her eyes and gripped the edge of the counter. Did she? Swallowing hard, she knew exactly in the back of her mind and while she continued to be apprehensive, her fears were slowly ebbing, being replaced by a complete feeling of peace. The sensation was so unexpected she trembled.

Lowering his head, Luke allowed his hot breath to slide across the back of her neck. “You are my light, my love and the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. No doubts.”

She knew it wasn’t a question but a statement. “No doubts.”

“
Good, then g
o and change. I want you in the hottest dress you own complete with stockings and heels. It’s time for me to show you off. My lover and the woman I’m going to own.”

The words simply said, she dropped her head and panted and knew he’d left the room. As she smiled, every part of her body alive with a burst of electric current, she knew this was exactly where she needed to be.

And what she wanted.

Domination

Jessie.
No, now she was his Jezebel and the woman was completely different than the one he’d left two weeks before. Her journal had told him so many things and he
w
as in awe of the deep level she had gone to in her poems, her stunning words. Holding his hand out, he smiled seeing how rock steady it was. This was exactly what he wanted. The thought gave h
im an intense warm feeling sweep
ing through his body.

Luke sighed as he watched her walk up the stairs and shook his head. While he honestly hadn’t anticipated he’d find the right woman,
let alone the perfect
submissive in a bar, the fact he had was both daunting and more than enticing.
The first time he saw her, seated wit
h her friends, his pulse raced. She was beautiful in every aspect but his draw was even deeper almost immediately.
When they’d danced, he was hooked
, falling into an intense level of hunger and while he would normally have at least gone to bed with her, he hadn’t want to
.
No, he’d wanted to know more about the woman inside. It had been the way she reacted to his still dominating touches that night, the way he held her and
stroked her. Her response had given him an indication she loved a man in charge.
And then when they began having frank discussions barely two weeks later, he knew he had to have her.
Jezebel.

As he walked back into the living room to finish his drink, he opened the journal and studied her first poem.
For those who didn’t understand the lifestyle, the very intuitive and frank words would probably be overlooked. But the way she presented them in an almost blatant light of her inner self was by far the most eye opening he’d ever read.
He couldn’t help but smile.
Without a doubt t
here was something from the moment he’d met her that drove him nearly out of his mind with desire. From her sexy smile and her
blatant stubborn attitude
to the way she laughed simply gave him a smile.
Willful and independent, her fiery personality and balls to the walls persona was something he respected and never wanted to change, yet the fact she craved submitting to him completely continued to rattle him. Jessie -- no Jezebel said the words, she asked the right questions and she obeyed his basic commands, but he remained concerned she wasn’t entirely accepting of his domination. Then again, her poems were more than just a window into her soul.

Taking a sip of his drink, he shook his head and read another poem. Every word was calculated but yet so telling. There was no doubt she wanted to please him but in her efforts she was relating the woman inside. From what he’d learned about her from their months of discussions, he had known better than to push. Jezebel needed to come to terms with what she wanted by herself. He’d allowed her to freedom of exploration and while a certain level of his own patience wasn’t always the way he handled his lovers or his business, this woman he wanted to come to terms with what he hungered for by her own accord. She was this important to him.

Exhaling slowly, Luke swirled his wine and knew what he wanted from her was the perfect moment of their relationship and while she thought she was ready, he wanted to make certain she understood he would be in total control. There were many ways to try and determine if her last resolve in a sense was ready to be tied to him and while he’d thought about the action, selecting carefully, he remained slightly on edge. She was a like a flower ready to open and yet he had to be very careful how he fertilized and nurtured. While Jezebel wasn’t fragile by any means, he knew there were so many directions he wanted to take their D/s relationship
and
he had to remain consistent and understanding.

After all, Luke wasn’t a sadist. He was simply a man who required complete control and the way she’d hungered and almost fought to achieve their combined goals was nothing short of extraordinary. Still, he had to have continued restrain. Grinning, he threw back the rest of the wine and sighed. In truth, he wanted nothing more than to spend a complete night doing nothing more than ravaging her body. That would happen soon enough
and often
.
He was insatiable with his needs and she responded as no other woman had. But this relationship was so much more than sex. This was about a completely open
level of intimacy
in which she told him absolutely everything she needed and wanted. While he could certainly hold back from Jezebel, he didn’t want to, preferring to be very candid with her.

T
o that end, t
onight he would test her and knew this could be the telling moment. He also wanted to show her off. Somehow men and women alike knew instinctively when a
soon-to-be-collared
woman entered a room. He was more than just proud to have her on his arm as his
sub
.
But there was something he had to know about her and possibly about the way he was going to react. Their frank conversations about sharing had been eye opening and yet the ugly moment in the bar had indeed reminded him she was a woman and much younger. Certainly Luke understood his power as a man but she was a vital woman and other men sought her out everywhere they went. He’d laughed more than a time or two telling her other men knew when a woman was owned simply by the pheromones she gave off. “Oh Jezebel, you take my breathe away.”
He read two more of her poems and then a passage, obviously written in a hurry, drew his attention.

In two nights he’ll be here. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am. I’ve missed him. His kiss. His touch.
The taste of him.
I adore Luke and want more every day. I woke up this morning and a peace filled me. I’m so ready to belong.

Luke cocked his head as he heard her coming down the stairs. Closing the journal, he patted the top and knew this was the right decision for both of them.
As sh
e walked into the room, she did indeed take
his breath away.
Suddenly it was if he was seeing her for the very first time again.
While she always dressed beautifully and especially when they went out, tonight she was stunning. Selecting another red dress,
the material clung to her hour
glass f
igure in a sensual
way,
accentuatin
g every curve G
od gave her. “You’re incredible.
”

“I wasn’t certain so…” Her voice trailing off, Jezebel’s
eyes flashed as if she’d been expecting disapproval. “I’m glad you like.”

Closing the distance, Luke eased her into her arms and brushed his lips across hers. “You once told me when you were getting to know me you believed we were destined to be together because of the measure of the man.”

“I did and I do more than ever
.”

“Why?”

“Because you remind me every day how beautiful I am and not just by what you say but by the way you look at me when you don’t think I notice. You always s
igh and give this shy smile every time
I blush and when you notice disappointment within myself you remind me how wonderful I am in other ways. You are kind and loving. You make me want to be a better woman.”

There was something so
amazing about her words and seeing the way her eyes were shining with admiration, Luke was filled with joy.
“And I see a woman standing in front of me I want to spend the rest of my life with. You are without a doubt the only woman who’ll ever understand and trust me implicitly. I’m a lucky man.” Seeing the humbled look on her face surpri
sed him. “Are you ready?” And Luke
could tell instantly she knew what he meant.

“Without a doubt.
” Slanting her eyes, she looked away.

“What do you want to ask me?” Taking a single finger, he
eased her chin forward.

“Why?”

“Why?” Somehow the
question caught him off guard and he knew exactly what she was asking. Certainly she had every right to know. The question had been one he’d asked himself time and time again and initially had been fearful he would lose control with a woman. As time went on Luke realized he’d always been a Dom, just didn’t understand the concept.

Nodding, Jezebel took his finger into her hand, kissing the tip. “Why did you become a Dom?
You’ve only ever told me a little bit but I know there has to be more.
You wanted to know why I wanted to be a sub. Now I need to ask you why you became a Dom. Is it about the power involved and the control? Or is it more about who you are and an innate knowing that’s always been inside of you?”

As he pressed the tip of his finger into her mouth
, the feel of her tongue dragging
back and forth across the end forced his cock to stand at attention. He could
tell
she was trying to distract him. Chuckling, he removed his finger and raised his eyebrow.
He’d been insistent he know about her understanding of why and he had spent so long questioning his own beliefs for so many years until he finally came to a certain realization.
“Willful tonight I
see but it’s a valid question. It’s what I’ve always been and didn’t understand until later in my life.”

“Was there an absolute reason you did?
Something terrible in one of your relationships?
”

“No. Not really. During my failed relationships I always wondered why everything seemed to go wrong almost instantly. I’m not certain I ever believed in fairy tales, but I was the nice guy and the one who tried to walk the straight and narrow line from making sure my family was well cared for to being the man around the house. For some reason at the end of the day I was not only unsatisfied
,
but quite frankly unhappy
, yet I stayed and tried to make everything better
.”

“But you loved your wives?”
