“All right, new family rule,” said Serena as she stood. “Nobody makes a happy announcement without telling me first. I could have done better than pot roast. Although I will say, I made brownies and homemade ice cream. I can whip up some hot fudge and salted caramel. Come on, Clay. You can help.”
While they were eating dessert, Trey said, “As the first of us to get inducted into this crazy family, what would you ladies say to just throwing a big party and having all four ceremonies at once?”
“What a great idea,” said Evie. “We could do them at different times throughout the day, but just invite people to come and celebrate with us.”
“I’m in,” said Serena.
“This sounds much better that some big, formal to-do. Just friends and family. Maybe make it a whole weekend kind of thing?” suggested Kennedy.
With all in agreement that it should wait until after the trial, the family finished eating and began to clean up. Trey and Cade shooed everyone off to their own beds while they did the dishes.
Kennedy and Cole walked down to the guesthouse, holding hands, not so much like teenagers, but like a couple who’d been together for years. “I kind of sprang that whole proposal on you…”
“Don’t think that means I’m letting you out of it.”
“Not funny, Grey. And if you ever use the D word on me again, I’ll turn your pretty ass so red, you won’t be able to sit for days.”
The fact that she still didn’t know everything she should nagged at him. He’d chided Clay for telling Serena without being able to manage her reaction, but he was being a coward and he knew it. Just a few days. He’d tell her before they were married and before he claimed her. He wanted to bind her to him in as many ways as he could.
When they entered the guesthouse, Kennedy began stripping her clothes off, letting them fall on the floor. Naked, she stood by their bed looking at the ring he’d had made for her in Naples all those years ago. A stunning swirl of diamonds coiled around a large, round cut, 4 carat, flawless diamond. There was also a matching wedding band for both of them. It was as unusual as it was modern with a vintage feel.
“If you don’t like it, we can pick out something else,” he said.
“No, it’s gorgeous and you know it. I can’t believe you kept it. Can’t believe you had it made in Naples. God, we were fools. Seven years we lost because of screwed up priorities and secrets. Serena said sometimes you disappear for weeks. Are you still working for NATO?”
He shook his head. “Not directly, but I take some special assignments from them from time to time. Normally, they want me because of the contacts I still have and my knowledge of the arms trade and the players. It’s lucrative and frankly I find it exciting and intriguing.”
“And you can make the world a better place.”
“I don’t know if it’s better, but maybe a little safer.”
Kennedy smiled, a thought forming that she knew he’d appreciate. “What you gave me tonight and how you did it with your family there, was so special. I know when we were in Naples that anal was a hard limit for me.”
Cole’s eyes snapped to hers. “It won’t always be, Kennedy. I want all of you.”
“I know. I don’t want any more barriers between us. I trust you and if you tell me you can make this good for me, I believe you.” She crawled up on the bed on all fours and looked back over her shoulder. “Take my ass, Cole. Let me surrender all of my being to you.”
He was stunned. He’d expected a momentous night of outrageous sex since they no longer needed to be worried about anyone seeing him coming or going or catching them together, but he hadn’t been prepared for this. Cole entered the bath and grabbed his shaving kit. He had perversely put a tube of lubricant in it for some time down the road. Normally, he would have liked to prepare her more, training her ass to relax and accommodate him, but he sure as hell wasn’t about to turn her down. With patience and lube, he could make this good for her.
He walked back into the bedroom portion of the guesthouse and was stunned by the sight of Kennedy on their bed, the lights turned down low, her torso stretched out and her ass high. This was not a position he’d ever seen her in, and he knew it was all about giving him something special, something he wanted, something she’d never offered anyone else. His cock was rock hard and throbbed with anticipation. Kennedy’s tight little hole was something he’d fantasized about for years.
Cole caressed her ass, lovingly, soothingly as he purred to her. He wanted her as relaxed and submissive as possible. He kissed down her spine, rumbling at her and watching as she slipped into a more peaceful place, one that she said she only found with him.
He pushed away the nagging voice that reminded him that there were things Kennedy needed to know before she committed herself to him. Tonight, he would continue to build his case as to why being with him was the only future she wanted, and he’d make sure she never regretted it.
She’d assumed the most submissive position possible, which seemed fitting as this was possibly the most submissive thing she would ever do for him. There was no tension in her as he continued to stroke her body, just a warm sensuality that called to the most feral side of him. He didn’t trust himself at this point to fuck her pussy from behind. It would be far too tempting to grab her neck in a claiming bite, sinking his teeth into her and initiating the transition from human to she-cat.
“Let me know if I start to hurt you. It might be uncomfortable at first, but there shouldn’t be any real pain,” he explained. “Spread your legs, Kennedy. I want to see what I’m claiming.”
Her breathing became a bit ragged, but she did as he asked. Opening the tube of lubricant, he held it over her ass and let it dribble out and onto her asshole. It seemed to pucker even tighter, but he knew, he’d get it to flower open for him. He put lube on his finger and began to rim her sweet rosette, playing and teasing. Each time he circled her hole, he pressed in—lightly at first, but with more and more pressure as it began to give.
He continued to play with her ass as all of the tension left her body and he was able to slip his finger inside her. Her tight little hole clamped down on his finger, but not in a bad way. He smiled as she sighed and truly surrendered her body to his care. Kennedy squirmed a bit, but only to allow her body to adjust to this new invasion. He slid a second finger inside her, slowly opening her up and preparing her for his possession.
Cole leaned down and kissed the small of her back. “Wait here. I’ll be right back.”
He went into the bath and washed his hands before returning to find her exactly where he’d left her. Her skin was flushed, and her breathing was off kilter. Before reaching for the lube, he slipped three of his fingers into her pussy and found her soaked. He stroked her quickly and she came in a rush, her own slick covering his hand.
Cole used it to slather over his cock while she was still coming down from the high of her orgasm. “Flatten your back, baby. I need you to just relax and accept that I’m going to take all that you have to offer and make you wonder why you ever questioned it.”
He crawled on the bed behind her, positioning her lower legs and feet on either side of him. Pressing the head of his cock to her back passage, he smiled as it flowered open for him, allowing him entry. He pushed in just the tip and sighed as her hole closed around him. Heat surrounded the part that was inside, and it felt as though her dark channel was pulsing.
“God, you feel good,” he purred as he rubbed her spine, not trying to move forward, just letting her body adjust.
The raw, primitive side wanted to simply dominate her, sinking his cock into her in one hard push, but he reminded himself this was his bonded spirit, and she was worth the effort and patience this slow and steady approach would take. He moved his hips gently, dragging himself back until just the very tip remained inside her. Each time as he pressed in, he got a little further.
She moaned and he reached his hand under her to play with her swollen clit. Kennedy cried out his name as she came a second time. In doing so, she rocked back, taking his cock that much deeper. She sighed again and he felt the last vestiges of resistance to this new invasion of her body fall away. With nothing further to stop him, he slid the rest of the way in until his balls were nestled against her. He held onto her hips to keep them both still and allowed the heat and sensation to envelop him. He dropped his head back and groaned from pure pleasure.
He rocked his hips, allowing himself to slide out until only the head was still keeping her tight ring of muscle open. He slowly slid back in, reveling in the feel of her and how she shivered. Kennedy tried to pull forward, not to get away, but so that she could push back, impaling herself in a new way. Cole withdrew and pushed in again. He began a gentle thrusting motion that sent her body scurrying to the edge of the abyss again.
Cole leaned forward and fucked deep as he reached under her and pinched her clit. Kennedy buried her faced in a pillow and screamed as she came, the force of her response triggering his own orgasm. Semen gushed from his cock, filling her dark channel, and sending waves of pleasure throughout his entire system.
He fell forward, pressing her down and into the mattress. Easing himself from her, he went back to the bath and quickly washed up before bringing back a warm cloth to clean her.
After disposing of the cloth, he crawled back into bed with her and pulled her against his body. “You’re mine you know, and I’m never, ever, letting you go.”
Kennedy laughed softly. “You do know you’re just this side of a beast.”
She curled up next to him, her head finding its place on his shoulder as he held her close. She had no idea just how close to the truth she was.
