Arkin, his tongue, and his hands were all that I could think about. “Sweetheart, if I stay, I’m not sure I can control myself.” He pointed to his jeans, and I could see the small wet spot. “It’s a little embarrassing when a man my age acts like a thirteen-year-old boy.” He smiled. I barked a laugh and immediately clamped my hand to my lips.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to laugh.”
He pulled me off the counter and wrapped my legs around his waist, moving us to the small couch in my living room. He fell back on the sofa with me now on top of him.
“That sweet, juicy peach feels so good against my cock,” he groaned as I rubbed down on him, getting high on the power of bringing this strong man to his knees. He hands roamed my body, and I felt the callouses of his palms grating against my skin deliciously.
“Your skin is so fucking soft, baby,” he said as he moved his hands to my nipples. He lingered there for a moment, as if he was waiting for my permission. His eyes locked with mine, and I nodded.
I felt safe with Arkin. I wanted to be with him. I needed to be with him. I needed to forget everything—all the pain all the worry. I just wanted him.
“Oh, baby,” he said, taking my nipple into his mouth and sucking me deeply. He bit gently, grazing his teeth against my nipple and causing my entire body to shiver.
“I love how fucking responsive you are to me,” he growled before slapping my thigh roughly and then moving me off him and onto the couch. He was up and pacing the floor a moment later.
“How about we watch a movie?” He paused at my movie collection.
Arkin was giving me whiplash. Confusion and, I hated to admit, a little rejection, simmered through me.
“Wait, did I do something wrong?” I covered myself up, suddenly feeling too exposed.
He got down on his knees in front of me and grabbed my head in his hands, making it impossible for me to look away.
“No, baby, no. I just know that you have some issues with men, and this thing with you and me is so special, and I don’t want to fuck it up by moving too fast. I’m not going anywhere. I’m not in a rush for anything. I want you to feel good about us and anything we do. I don’t want to move too quickly and then have you scared off.”
His words were so sweet and sincere that in that moment, I wanted to be with him more than I had ever wanted anything else.
“I want you, Arkin,” I whispered.
“You have me, Daphne. God, do you have me, baby.” He kissed me. A kiss flavored with passion, need, want, and desperate with raw desire. It was fueled with a type of fire that I never knew existed. In that kiss, I felt forever, and I would do whatever was necessary to keep this feeling lingering.
I kissed him back with my own fear and insecurities, desperate to make him know that it was all okay. We were beyond okay.
“I want you, Arkin. I need to be with you. Please?” I begged, desperate for him not to turn away from me.
He growled into my mouth and crushed his lips to mine, pushing his tongue into my mouth.
“Baby, you never have to beg me for anything. All you have to do is ask and I’ll come running. No matter what it is, I’ll do it for you. You own me, Daphne. You own me more than you will ever know.”
With those words, he picked me up and cradled me in his arms.
“Once we do this, there’s no going back. You will belong to me.” His voice was firm and dominant, and I felt a surge of excitement in my veins.
I nodded slowly.
“Tell me, baby. Who do you belong to?” His eyes burned into my soul.
“I’m yours, Arkin,” I whispered.

Arkin
“I want to make sure you’re comfortable with everything we’re doing here.” I trailed kisses down her torso. “I can trust you to speak up if you want me to stop, can’t I, Daphne?”
My fingers locked with hers, sucking the flesh at the dip of her waist as I waited for her answer.
“Yes.” She sighed breathlessly.
“I thought so.” I continued kissing across her hips, landing at her core and licking softly. “There’s never been anyone else,” I hissed between licks. “After everything fell apart, I was so busy trying to survive every day that I never gave a spare thought to another woman. I’m clean, Daphne, and I don’t carry condoms on me.”
Her fingers tightened in mine, soft mewls now tumbling from her lips as my words vibrated off her engorged pussy folds. “Oh my God, Arkin. Me too. I never even had a boyfriend in high school. I was so messed up by the craziness that my dad brought to our family, I just…I just couldn’t bring myself to trust anyone else with that.”
