Ready. Set.
Go.

“Do you have something you want to say to me, Nadine?”

I used my best Coach voice. Firm and vaguely disapproving.

It worked.

“Thank you- for getting her. I can pay you back.”

I stepped towards her. She stepped away.

“Yes, you can. But not with money.”

Her mouth opened even wider. I licked my lips. I had all kinds of ideas of what I was going to do with her.

“I know you are mad.”

I nodded.

“Damn right.”

“I’m sorry I said that. I know you wouldn’t have hurt her.”

I walked towards her as she backed away nervously.

“Good. Now, if you are finished being a pain in the ass, you are going to listen to me. I have some things I need you to do. If you want to earn my forgiveness.”

She looked from me to the cat. She must have caught the look in my eyes. Like a cornered animal, she started looking for a place to escape to. I knew she wanted to run and hide. She spun in a circle, and found herself face to face with the stairwell.

“You are definitely heading in the right direction.”

She turned around. I yanked her against me. Her hands went to my chest.

I growled and lowered my head, kissing her as hard as I wanted to. Deep, long, but not slow.

No, this kiss was urgent.

“James!”

I leaned her backwards onto the stairs. Fuck the bed. I couldn’t wait.

I yanked her clothes off, licking and sucking as I went. I groped her. I freed my cock from my pants and tugged her panties to the side.

With a groan I slid inside her. She was wet. Just like I’d known she would be.

We gasped in unison as our bodies collided. Then I started to pump myself into her. I wasn’t going slow and I wasn’t being gentle.

I was making her mine.

I plunged my cock in and out of her, making sure to keep her as hot as possible with my hands and mouth. I wasn’t taking any chances. I kissed her neck, my hands busy with her pointy little nipples.

I felt her cum on my shaft, her sugar walls undulating against me. I held perfectly still until she was done. Then I shifted back, pulling my cock out.

“Turn over.”

I didn’t wait for her to obey. I just lifted her up and over, arranging her hips so I had the best angle. Then I pushed myself in again. I grunted at the new sensation.
 

Now I was riding her fast and hard. With each thrust I felt my cock bottom out against her womb. I was in as deep as I could get.

But it still wasn’t enough.

I wanted more.

I grabbed her hips and started jackhammering my cock into her sweet little box. It was so tight, gripping me with each thrust. My dick felt like it had died and gone to heaven.

Just then I felt her starting to cum again. It was too much. My cock jerked inside her and my seed exploded from my tip. I groaned in ecstasy as I unloaded into her again and again.

Her body was convulsing as she pulled me deeper.

It felt too good.

Way too fucking good.

It wasn’t until I reached down to pull out a few minutes later that I realized why.

I’d forgotten to wear a condom.

Nadine

I was laying on my back, looking up at the ceiling. James was between my thighs, his lips and tongue doing indescribable things to me. Wild, dirty, sweet things.

We’d finally made it to the bed. It had taken a while. But now we were here and he was doing all sorts of crazy things to my body.

His hands toyed with my breasts as he made a meal of the sweet spot between my thighs.

The tingly, sensitive, magical place.

I tossed my head back and forth, feeling as if I was floating.

I was done fighting him. I let him take complete control over me. It was such a relief to let go of all the things I’d been holding back.

Keeping it all bottled up inside me.

I wanted to be safe. Taken care of. If only for a little while.

I wanted him.

I rose up off the bed as he worked his magic on me. My back arched. My entire body started to convulse.

Just as I was peaking, he stopped.

“James…”

He was staring at me, his face serious. He positioned his cock between my thighs, teasingly rubbing it over my swollen pussy lips. I rocked my hips against him but he pulled back.
 

Only when I stopped moving did he begin his teasing again.

“What are you-“

He leaned down and kissed me hard.

“You’re mine.”

I nodded frantically. Eager to say anything that would make him give me what I wanted. Completion.

“Say it.”

“I’m yours.”

“No more games. Promise me.”

I shook my head.

“I promise. Please James…”

With an animalistic groan he slid into me. He’d been suffering as much as I had. He needed this just as badly.

The thought that we were in this together was thrilling.

It meant everything.

It changed everything.

He looked deeply into my eyes as he rode me, his hand lifting one leg, holding me in place. The feel of his cock inside me was indescribable. Hot, silky steel. I felt it expand and then he groaned in ecstasy.

My body clenched down on him instinctively, milking him as he plunged in and out of me.

He grimaced as his hips bucked, sending him even deeper inside me. I felt liquid heat pool in my belly as I came with him. It seemed to go on forever.

Finally he stilled. He rolled to his side, bringing me with him. I extricated myself from the tangle of his arms and legs. He was no help whatsoever, kissing and biting me as I tried to get out of the bed.

“Where do you think you are going?”

I rolled my eyes at him.

“The bathroom. Is that alright, Master?”

He leaned back, grinning at me.

“Master… I like that.”

I shook my head and grabbed my shirt, tugging it over my head. In seconds it was yanked back off of me. James was grinning at me foolishly.

“No clothes.”

I had to laugh. He was taking this master thing seriously.

“Anything else?”

He leaned forward, kissing my neck.

“Yes. I want you to go on the pill.”

My face got pale. I hadn’t even thought about it. He was nuzzling my neck.

“Of course, you might already be pregnant.”

“James! You didn’t just… Oh God. Oh my God.”

He shrugged sheepishly.

“It didn’t seem so important at the moment. On the stairs.”

He tried to pull me back into bed with him.

“Or the second time.”

My jaw dropped. The first time we had both been swept away. But the second time, he’d been in complete control.

I was stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

“Do you think that’s funny?”

He shook his head slowly.

“No. But it doesn’t matter anyway. I’m keeping you.”

Well, when he put it that way… it didn’t seem quite so bad.

Chapter Fifteen

James

“Wake up sleepyhead.”

I pulled the sheets down off of Nadine’s delectable body. I’d convinced her to stay here every night this week. And last week.
 

Eventually I’d just gone to her place and packed her shit up again. Most of it was still in a bag. I couldn’t stand the thought of her being there another night.

Plus I had other, more selfish motives…

“Hmmfff?”

I tickled her pretty little feet, trailing my fingers up her thighs. She made a sexy little sound and rolled onto her belly, giving me a great view of her cute little ass.
 

I couldn’t help myself.

I bit it.

“Hey!”

She rolled over, glaring at me.

“Your alarm went off.”

She sat up abruptly.

“Oh God, I’m late for work study.”

“Don’t go.”

She stared at me.

“My scholarship is dependent on my work study.”

I wanted to tell her that I would take care of it somehow, but I knew she wouldn’t like it. I had money. I wanted to take care of her.

“What time is it over?”

“Nine. Just enough time to get to my first class.”

Damn. I’d been hoping to grab her before our afternoon classes. Otherwise I was going to have to wait until after practice and after work. I wouldn’t get what I wanted until midnight at the earliest.

I rolled onto my back, moaning.

“What’s wrong?”

“You are making me wait. I don’t want to wait.”

She smirked and smacked my shoulder.

“You’ll get over it.”

She crawled over me to get to the bathroom but I stopped her, grabbing her and flipping her onto her back. I went wild, growling and nipping her like a wild beast. She was laughing uncontrollably when I started grinding my hard on against her.

That made her stop laughing.

“James… Oh God… there’s no time.”

She’s slept in one of my giant t-shirts. I lifted it up, pulling her nipple into my mouth. I was rewarded with a soft sigh.

“Just a quickie.”

“I can’t. I already missed too many times this semester, remember?”

I groaned, not stopping humping her for a minute. She gave me a look and I let her go, sighing dramatically.

“Such a waste of a perfectly good boner.”

She was still laughing as she turned on the shower. I leaned up to watch her yank the shirt off and slip into the shower.

“I promise to take good care of you tonight!”

I moaned. Tonight was so far away. Maybe I could help her wash up…

The water turned off. I cursed. Nadine was a notoriously quick in the shower. I frowned, realizing that was probably because of the way she’d grown up… that crappy apartment… she’d never really had a safe place to relax and goof off in.

Not until now.

I was going to make her feel safe. I was going to take good care of her. I’d already started.

I watched her get dressed. New jeans and a warm sweater. I’d taken her shopping last weekend. She’d resisted until I’d shown her all the free gift cards I got from the local mall. After that, she’d relented.

Somewhat, anyway.

She looked gorgeous in her new clothes. Not that she hadn’t before. But this ramped it up.

I followed her downstairs. There was no point in going back to bed. Besides I wanted to be there when she saw her new present.

“Where’s my bag?”

She was looking around nervously. Damn, I forgot how worried she got. I pointed to the table with a smirk.

A brand new designer book bag was laying there. It was stuffed with all her stuff. And something else I’d gotten her.

A new laptop.

She just didn’t know that part yet.

“What?”

“It’s for you.”

“James…”

I pulled her into my arms.

“Just relax. Go to work study. Open it when you get to class.”

“Where’s my stuff?”

“It’s all in there.”

She chewed her lip, looking uncertain.

“It’s just a new bag! Relax. Now, I think someone else wants to say goodbye.”

I glanced down meaningfully. Honeysuckle was winding between our legs. Nadine bent down and scooped up the cat, kissing it’s fuzzy little head.

I had to admit it, I was a little bit jealous of the cat.

Honeysuckle started purring immediately. It always did that when Nadine as around. It was even starting to trust me a bit too.

The stupid cat was growing on me.

Nadine put the cat down and I walked her to the door, indulging in one last, long kiss.

She waved as she started out in the early morning light. I watched her, feeling a deep sense of contentment spread through me. Which was weird, considering the fact that my dick was still hard as a rock.

I bent down to scratch the cat behind the ears.

“Want some breakfast you little flea trap?”

Nadine

“Earth to Nadine, come in Nadine.”

I was leaning against the counter at BB Smiths. I was only working three nights a week now. James had insisted. But it was fine. Now that I’d moved in with him I didn’t need the rent money.

It made me nervous though. Being in his debt. I was dependent on him now. I didn’t like it.

What if he changed his mind?

What if he wanted someone else instead?

I’d be shit out of luck, along with Honeysuckle.

The three of us were not a happy little family. We were two fuck buddies and a scrawny little cat. I kept reminding myself that. Still… the way he made me feel. I wanted to trust him.

I wanted to just relax and be…
 

I shook my head.

I was falling in love with him. I knew it. I was trying to fight it but I was pretty sure it was already too late.

It wasn’t just his good looks or the incredible way he made my body feel. It wasn’t just his talent and exceptional physical prowess. It was also his kindness. His sense of humor.

His generosity.

I was still reeling from what I’d found in my bag during my first class. I’d opened it, expecting to find my stack of notebooks. Instead I’d found a shiny new Macbook Air.
 

I’d used his a few times and liked it.

So he’d bought me one.

My heart had been thudding like crazy when I pulled it out and put it on the desk. Everyone else was listening to the professor speak. I was staring at my new toy.

All my files had been on it, neatly organized. There was even a baggie full of fresh thumb drives. And any software I could have hoped for.

Jesus.

Maybe he did care about more than just… nailing me as much as possible.

Though, to be fair, I wasn’t exactly complaining about that. I was just afraid to get too comfortable. Because that’s when you got hurt.

I knew that from experience.

“Oooo, that’s pretty. New bag?”

Lana was pointing at the dark green book bag James had gotten me. I nodded. Her eyes took me in.

“New jeans too. Wow girl, you must be making bank at the Pussycat Lounge.”

“I quit actually.”

“That was fast.”

“Yeah, it’s not for me.”

“So what’s with the new stuff?”

I shrugged.

“Gifts.”

Her eyebrows shot straight up.
