Her ass was still slightly pink from her earlier spanking and he couldn’t help giving a few more gentle swats to give it extra color.
His body tingled and he knew his orgasm was close. She squeezed him from the inside.
“I need you to come on my cock, Princess.”
“Yes.” She practically screamed as her orgasm washed over her. He followed, spilling all of himself into her.
He wrapped his arms around her from behind and pulled her close, hugging her, never wanting to let her go.
“Amazing. You’re the most amazing woman.”
“I...”
“Shhhh.”
He didn’t want to hear what she was going to say. He couldn’t. He was in too deep as it was. He needed to figure out how to keep Ana out of trouble. Pulling out of her was the hardest thing he’d ever done. He ran to where he’d kicked his pants and grabbed the handkerchief out of his pocket before running back to clean her up again. He was surprised she didn’t argue this time.
Bent at the waist, her arms still trussed, she was the sexiest thing he’d ever seen. He rubbed his chest, surprised to still feel the mark the diamond left. This might be all he’d ever have.
“You are glorious, Princess.”
Completely sated, he had difficulty untying her arms. When they were free, he tossed the tie aside and rubbed feeling back into her arms.
Her silence alarmed him.
“You all right?”
“I...what...I don’t know,” she said.
Fuck.
She was having second thoughts about stealing the diamond. Was she going to let him steal it? Did she want it? Of course she did, it was the most important thing in the world to her. But if she wasn’t completely, one hundred percent behind her plan, he couldn’t let her go through with it. She had to look completely innocent.
“Do you trust me?”
She looked at him. Her eyes, what he’d learned were her post-amazing-sex eyes, were light and sparkly instead of their usual sapphire color. Right now, they were widened in surprise.
“Of course. You’re the one person in the world I trust,” she said.
She spoke softly and sounded sad. Jake didn’t like that. He had to believe that Ana would be happy for the rest of her life without him.
“Do you have the fake diamond with you?”
She nodded. “It’s in a secret compartment in my purse.”
“May I see it?”
“Uh. Yeah.”
It took them both a while to find the spot where she’d dropped her purse. It was in the room with the chaise. She hadn’t remembered having it in there at all. Some jewel thief she was turning out to be, she’d almost lost the fake diamond. She rifled through her clutch until finally she pulled out a rather impressive replica of the diamond. She handed it over.
Jake studied it from all angles. It was pretty good. To someone who didn’t know the diamond well, it’d pass. He would put money on the fact that it’d fool Leonard. But the piece of glass in his hand paled in comparison to the real diamond. It had no luster. No life. The real diamond sparkled with all that it had been through over the years.
“Not bad,” he said.
“It’s not the same. I can see it, but the jeweler who made it said that it was as close to identical as he’d ever seen.”
“Who made it?”
