Owning the Beast

I leaned back to try and look him in the eye, to let him see that I had meant what I said. Opening his eyes, he flashed me an even wider smile that made my heart race and I wondered what it would be like for him to kiss me. Despite having shared such an intimate and physical moment this morning and the night before, he has yet to kiss me. For a moment before he had entered me last night, I thought he would. I want to taste myself on his lips. Heat crept up my neck and my gaze dropped to his lips.

“Can I kiss you?” I rushed out breathily. Despite my bold behavior earlier, I still felt shy asking such a question. A kiss seemed so much more intimate, as if it would bring us even closer than before. I could see the shock of my question on his face. I wanted nothing more than to kiss him at this very moment. There was just something special about him that was pulling me towards him, pulling us together. I might not have been around many men in my life but I felt it. The connection, the sparks. I wonder if he felt it too. Many people had fallen in love at first sight before. Why couldn’t it be that way for us?

“Annabella, I—” Afraid of his rejection, I lunged towards Griffin and pressed my lips to his. He let out a soft growl and hauled me onto his lap, taking control of the kiss. He pushed his tongue deep inside my mouth, devouring me, clashing our teeth together and dominating the kiss. Pressing into his warmth, molding my body to his, he slowed down the kiss, as if he finally realized that I wouldn’t be pulling away. His tongue slowed down to a soft gentle exploration. I’m not sure which I liked more, his rough, dominating kiss or his gentle, possessive kiss. Pulling back, I dropped a kiss on the scar that catches the corner of his lip, trailing kisses all the way up to his ear.

“I think you’re beautiful, Griffin. You hide behind your anger and keep people away. Please let me in. We can make this work. We could be happy. If you let us be.”

No sooner had the words left my mouth did I feel Griffin pick me up and carry me out of the gazebo. Startled, I let out a squeal of shock, immediately wrapping my arms and legs around him tightly. I probably resembled a monkey right now. He laughed lightly and lowered his lips over mine once again. Lost in his lips and his taste, I felt him lowering me and soon enough, my back touched the grass. Laying me down, Griffin maneuvered himself between my legs all the while keeping our lips locked. Pulling back to catch his breath, he looked down at me.

“Stay, Bella. Please.” His voice husky, filled with emotion. “I don’t want to be angry anymore. I want to heal and move on. Will you stay here and teach me? Please don’t go back to the agency. I’ll make this right. I’m so sorry for the way I’d been acting. You deserve better. You deserve everything. Please, let me give you everything.”

I felt Griffin steal a piece of my heart as the words left his mouth. We both had some healing to do. While they might be different, we could still do it together. In response, I tilted my head towards him, offering him my lips once more. With a groan, Griffin lowered his head and accepted the kiss. For the first time since arriving at Creston Falls, all of my fears disappeared.

“Angel,” Griffin breathed out, nipping my ear. His stubble tickled the side of my face.

“Mmm, Griffin. Please,” I moaned, wanting him to kiss me more, anywhere, everywhere. I needed his touch. I lifted my hips, trying to get some friction. Sliding his hand between us, he stroked my thigh before moving under my dress, cupping my mound.

“I see you were lying about not wearing panties earlier. Don’t tease me, Beauty. I’ll spank that sinful ass of yours the next time.” He continued to stroke my pussy over my panties and my hips began to rock slightly against his fingers.

“Are you sore, Angel?” He nibbled on my bottom lip as he yanked my panties to the side, dipping a finger inside. “I don’t want to hurt you. I never want to hurt you again.”

I was tender but it felt so good having him inside me once again. Arching into his touch, I feel myself growing wetter as his thumb rubbed my clit. “More,” I managed to gasp out as he added a second finger.

“God, you’re so fucking wet. I barely even touched you. Is all this cream for me?”

Thrusting his fingers harder into me, he rubbed my clit a little faster.

“Do you like what I’m doing, Angel? Do you want more? Do you want me to slide my big, hard cock inside you and give us what we both want? Fuck my fingers, Bella. Show me how much you want me to fuck that pretty little pussy of yours. Show me how much you want me to slide my big fat cock inside you. “ He growled, raking his teeth across my neck. I didn’t think he meant to pose them as questions but I doubt I could answer him if I even tried.

His words were killing me. Who knew words could set your body on fire like this. “What are you doing to me? Oh god. I… I just … please, Griffin. Please…” With his other hand, Griffin tugged hard at the top of my dress causing my breasts to spill out. My nipples harden instantly under his hungry gaze. Dipping his head, he licked and placed kisses all around my left breast before sucking my nipple into his mouth fully. Each tug, nip and lick shot straight to my clit and I felt my orgasm slowly building. I knew this one was going to blow last night’s out of the water.
