That his brother was safe.
The day had been rough. He knew the cop could have been honest in his reasoning for pulling them over, but he doubted it. He didn’t believe in coincidence anymore. He had to think that Levi now knew Ezra was alive. And then there was that mysterious note Kim hadn’t mentioned to him. She’d brought it to Tag. He’d had to let that go, too.
He had to earn her trust back.
But she was here, and he left behind the worry of the day because he’d promised her they would spend this time in the now.
And the now included making her scream for him again.
“I want you to kneel on the bed for me.”
Her eyes came open. “What? Beck, come on. I’m good. You can go for it.”
How quickly she forgot. It was time to show her that he meant business. He gripped her ankles and easily flipped her over so he had access to her gorgeous ass. She’d barely gotten out a minor shriek before his hand came down in a short arc. It wasn’t more than a light crack against her cheek, but it made her gasp.
“I said I want you to get on your knees for me.”
“I already did that,” she shot back like the brat she was.
He’d only ever dealt with perfectly submissive partners for the simple fact that he wasn’t going to touch one of them sexually. He was strictly a service top at Sanctum. He spanked subs and whipped them when they wanted. He always used a chair and St. Andrew’s Crosses. He rarely ever used his hand during a spanking.
Because it was all for her. All for this mouthy brat who’d held his heart in her hands more years than he cared to admit.
He slapped her ass again. “You remember your safe word?”
Her head turned slightly, and she wrinkled her nose his way. “You think I need a safe word for that baby tap, Beck? You forget who I am.”
He wasn’t the one who’d forgotten she was a Valkyrie glorious bitch goddess he worshipped with his whole heart. He gave her a harder smack, one that got her skin pink. “I know exactly who you are.” He spanked her again. “Do you know who I am? Because I can spank you all night.”
He gave her another three, each slightly harder than the last, and she was breathless when he finished, but she got up to her knees.
“Happier?” she asked, apparently unwilling to stop the saucy replies.
“Yes, because you’ve given me new ways to punish you.” He grabbed her from behind, dragging her back against his chest and getting his hands on those magnificent breasts of hers. He cupped them and let his fingers find her nipples. He gave her a hard tweak that made her wriggle against him. “See. I can pull and pinch all your sweet parts like this.”
Her head fell back against his shoulder. “I’m sorry, Beck.”
He should tell her to call him Sir, but he didn’t want that. He liked his name coming from her mouth. For so long he’d denied himself the name he’d grown up with. Hearing her say it with that breathy plea in her voice brought him right back to the moment when he knew they were meant to be together.
She’d believed it even when the world had fallen apart. She’d had faith.
It was time to repay her.
His cock was coming back to life rapidly. He rubbed himself against the seam of her ass, nestling himself lightly there. “I love you.”
She stiffened in his arms. “No. You told me we would stay in the moment.”
“I love you in the moment,” he whispered in her ear. “Right here. Right now. I love you.”
He didn’t mention that he’d loved her in the past. He would love her in the future. He would love her long after they’d passed from this earth and their son lived on.
“That’s not fair.”
He tweaked her nipples again. He’d never promised to play fair. “It’s true. As true as this is.” He flexed his pelvis and slid his cock along her backside. “Are you going to be good for me now or do we need to continue with the spanking?”
“I like the spanking, but I want you inside me.”
At least she could be honest with him in this space. He planned for a lot more honesty tomorrow night. Tonight he was going to give her what she wanted. As much pleasure as she could handle.
“I want you to come for me again.” Because he likely needed to sleep with her a couple of times before he would last as long as he wanted to. But he’d planned tonight’s session out carefully. He wasn’t getting them in trouble the way he had the last time. If she got pregnant, it would be because she wanted to.
