Tammy forced her eyes open as Valiant gripped her hips and lifted them. He pulled her to up onto her knees.

His strength probably should have frightened her but she wasn’t alarmed when the bed dipped from the weight of his knees when he moved behind her, spread his legs on the outside of hers and trapped them to keep her pinned.

She tried to rise into position on her hands and knees but she didn’t have the energy. Valiant snarled, a wild, animalistic sound, as the bulky crown of his cock pressed against the entrance to her pussy. One of his hands kept hold of her hip to keep her in place while she assumed his other one gripped his shaft to make sure he didn’t slide away because of how wet she’d become from the climax he’d given her.

Her body shook as Valiant slowly eased inside her, pushing forward, forcing her vaginal walls to stretch to admit him. She moaned at the wonderful sensation of being filled. She wasn’t sure she could stand the intensity of it with her climax still vibrating through her body but he didn’t give her a choice as he sank deeper into her. A thrill of arousal surprised her. She hadn’t realized how much it turned her on to feel helpless while he remained totally in control.

Her clit was a little oversensitive after what he’d done to her but he didn’t give her time to recover. His hand on her hip slid on her skin to wrap around her waist. His other hand grabbed her breast and squeezed. She cried out in surprise at how sensitive her nipples were from their earlier abuse. He didn’t pinch though, instead his fingers massaged the mound he gripped.

“Sensitive,” she panted.

He released it instantly and gripped her hips with both hands. He withdrew almost totally from her pussy but slowly slid back inside, deep. She moaned, encouraging him as he worked his cock in and out of her, made her take him a little deeper each time. He suddenly released her hip with one hand and dropped it onto the mattress to brace his upper body as he curled around her. His hips slammed against her ass as he seemed to lose control. He pounded into her fast, hard and deep.

Snarls tore from his throat to match her panted cries of pleasure.

Tammy lost the ability to think. The feeling of him inside her had to be the best sensation in the world, even superior to his tongue licking her until she came. She enjoyed every rock-hard inch of him hammering in and out of her pussy while she made sounds she’d never made before.

Valiant’s grip around her waist changed and he slid his thumb between her vaginal lips, pressed the side of it against her clit and fucked her harder. The rubbing sensation against her already oversensitive, swollen clit became too much.

A nother orgasm built, her inner muscles tightened around his driving cock and it blew her mind when pleasure tore through her again. She screamed his name, climaxing hard, and Valiant roared from his own release.

His hips ground against her ass, he buried his cock into her deep and heat spread inside her as he kept coming.

Valiant groaned softly with each jerk his body experienced as his semen shot into her, until he fell over on the bed with her still locked in his arms.

Tammy panted, her eyes closed, and a smile curved her lips while her inner muscles gripped Valiant still, clenching around his shaft. He snuggled closer, kissed the curve of her shoulder and that was last thing she remembered.

Valiant held Tammy close, wrapped his body tighter around hers to spoon her in front of him, and ran his fingers along her skin to make sure she wasn’t chilled.

Her breathing had slowed, he knew she’d fallen asleep, and he tried not to feel guilty. She’d been through a lot but he couldn’t regret taking her.

She’s mine and I’m never allowing her to leave me. I couldn’t survive without her. That realization slammed home. The woman in his arms meant that much to him.

She did the one thing that some of the meanest, cruelest humans he’d ever dealt with hadn’t been able to do. He suddenly knew terror at the thought of losing something that mattered so much to him. His arms tightened around her and he swore he’d show her she belonged with him.

He’d make her happy, feed her, fill her every need and she’d have to see how much she meant to him. He nuzzled her wet hair, enjoying having her so close.

He’d show her that he was the right male for her. A good protector, a lover who would see to her pleasure, and he wanted to make her smile all the time. He loved it when she laughed, the way her blue eyes sparkled, and the sound was infectious. It made him happy. She made him happy.

I can’t lose her. I just can’t.

Chapter Eight

That feels so good, was Tammy’s first thought. She smiled, having the best dream ever, where she lay on her side with a big, hot body pressed along her back.

Someone nipped her shoulder and a hot, wonderful tongue teased the spot. She shivered, warm breath tickling her skin as teeth gently raked across it, creating an erotic jolt through her body. She moaned.

A hand slid from her hip to the inside of her thigh, gripped it, and spread her legs when it was lifted. She groaned from pleasure as a hard, thick cock teased her clit, then lowered enough to enter her pussy in one slow, fluid thrust. She grabbed at the arm connected to the hand that held her leg, just for something to cling to.

Valiant slid into her deeper and a sexy purr rumbled from his mouth next to her ear. He started to fuck her slowly and she moaned louder. The hand gripping her leg adjusted it higher and she hooked her foot behind his thigh. He released his grip to trail his hand along her inner thigh to her clit where his fingertips drew circles over the swelling bud. She threw her head back against Valiant’s chest and bucked her hips to meet his thrusts.

I’m not dreaming. It feels too good not to be real.

Tammy opened her eyes. She moaned and her nails dug into the sheets and his skin where she gripped his upper arm. Valiant shifted his leg between hers to drive into her pussy a little deeper and kept up the slow, steady rhythm that began to drive her mindless. Her breathing grew choppy and her nipples hardened. Her body tensed and bucked against him more frantically, seeking release.

“Faster,” she begged.

“Not yet,” he growled.

Tammy gripped the bed hard to get a good hold on the sheet and moved her hips, shoving back at Valiant.

He groaned as he slid into her harder and faster. His finger matched his hips, sliding over her bundle of nerves rapidly, applying more pressure. He knew exactly what she needed while his cock pounded inside her and he manipulated her clit to make her come.

Tammy’s muscles tightened, the ecstasy became so intense it was nearly too much, and she screamed, jerking violently against Valiant with him deeply buried inside her pussy as the climax tore through her.

Valiant roared. His hand left her clit and he gripped her hip. His hips jerked, his body tensed and he seemed to turn to stone behind her as every muscle in his body tightened. He suddenly relaxed as his climax ended.

She smiled as warmth spread through her from his release, amazed she could feel him jetting into her body when she’d never experienced that sensation with other men. Each time, he shivered a little and pulled her tighter into his embrace. It was soothing when his heat poured into her after making love to him. She smiled. Valiant bit her shoulder.

Tammy yelped. “Hey. Watch the teeth.”

Valiant licked where his teeth had just marked her skin without breaking it. “Sorry.”

She turned her head to stare at the man who always gave her such intense sex and decided that he looked sexy in the morning. His hair was messed up, his wild mane fuller, and he had a lazy, happy glint in his beautiful eyes. They really did remind her of melted gold and it was absolutely stunning. There were swirls of different shades of shiny yellows when she studied his irises up close. He had a gaze she could happily stare into forever.
