Edge of Love (33 page)

“
Because I want
to.”

“
No you don’t.”

“
I’m not going to change
my mind.”

“
Gender roles are
stupid.”

He looked at me. “I would rather have
this conversation in private, but if you want to do it here, then
fine. I’m the man of this relationship. I will always work. You
can’t argue with me about this. It doesn’t matter that we don’t
need the money. Deal with it, Scarlet.”

I rolled my eyes.

Ryan nodded. “I understand Sean’s
point of view.”

“
It’s stupid.”

Sean glared at me. “It’s where I get
my self-esteem. I couldn’t make love to you every night knowing I
didn’t contribute anything to the relationship.”

“
You do plenty of that
without working,” I said.

He shook his head. “Drop it,
Scar.”

I sighed. “Fine.”

Ryan leaned forward. “So, Vegas for
the bachelor party?’ he asked excitedly. “I’ve been keeping all the
one dollar bills from the shop.”

“
You’re going to a strip
club?” Janice asked in disgust.

“
Duh,” he said. He looked
back at Sean. “Make sure you can get the whole weekend off from
your new job.”

“
Wait,” I said. “You
weren’t interested in my bachelorette party at all, but now you’re
excited for Sean’s? You aren’t even in his wedding
party.”

“
So?” he said. “There will
be naked chicks there.”

Janice waved her hand in front of his
face. “Hello?”

He waved her away. “Yeah
whatever.”

She shook her head. “He can be so
sweet then turn into a huge ass almost immediately.”

“
I can see that.” I
laughed.

Sean smiled. “I’ll make sure I get the
days off.”

“
Yes!” Ryan said. “We’re
going to Vegas!”

Sean laughed. “Naked chicks, here we
come!”

“
Hey,” I said. “What about
me?”

He smiled. “I’m just playing along,
Scar. You know I don’t care for that.”

“
Good.”

“
Besides, I have you. And
you’re a fox.”

“
I’m a hot piece of ass,”
I said.

“
My hot piece of ass,” he
said as he kissed me. “Come on. Let’s go home.”

“
I just got here,” I
said.

“
Well, I miss you,” he
said.

“
What do you want to do
today?”

“
What we always
do.”

I smiled. “Okay.”

“
I feel like you’re trying
to ostracize me from my family.”

He laughed. “No. It’s just awkward
having them around with what I have in mind.”

I walked in the room and took off my
jacket. “We did it all day yesterday.”

“
What’s your
point?”

“
I thought you’d be
satisfied.”

“
It’s a new cycle every
day. We have a quota to reach.”

“
I’m not a
machine.”

“
My cock says
differently.”

I rolled my eyes.

“
I caught
that.”

I did it again.

He pushed me against the wall and
pinned my hands back. The moment suddenly became serious. He stared
into my eyes as he held me in place. Then he leaned in and grabbed
my bottom lip with his teeth, sucking gently. He moved his kiss to
my neck and sucked the skin. I felt my body betray me immediately.
“If you hadn’t left before I woke up, this wouldn’t be happening.”
I bit my lip as I moaned. “I hope you learn your lesson this
time.”

I tried to move my arms but he was too
strong. “It couldn’t wait until I got home?”

He pressed his forehead against mine
and looked into my eyes. “No.” He leaned down and kissed my chest
then moved back to my mouth.

“
You just want to fuck my
ass again.”

“
Maybe.”

“
Well, let’s
go.”

“
You got it.” He picked me
up and carried me into the bedroom then laid me on the bed. He
stripped off is clothes then peeled mine away. I moved to get on my
stomach, but he pushed me back. He was being more dominant than he
normally was, but I didn’t mind in the least. He moved up the bed
until he was lying on top of me. He kissed me everywhere then
parted my legs with his knees.

“
I thought you wanted it
the other way?” I whispered.

He pressed his lips against my ear.
“No,” he said. “I want to make love.”

“
Oh?”

“
You sound
disappointed.”

“
A little.”

He smiled then moved between my legs.
He kissed me in the tender spot until I was panting for him. Then
he came back to me and pressed his forehead against mine. While
looking into my eyes, he inserted himself within me
slowly.

I grabbed his face and kissed him
passionately while he moved within me. His thrusts were making me
shake and moan.

“
I love you,” he
whispered.

“
I love you too,
babe.”

“
I love you so
much.”

His words made an orgasm build. “I
know.”

“
No you don’t,” he
whispered. “You’ll never understand.” He thrust inside of me
harder. “You are the light of my life. I don’t like to
share.”

His possessiveness made me explode,
calling his name in euphoria. “Sean.”

He breathed. “Babe.”

I scratched his back as I had my
moment.

He grabbed my hips as he climaxed.
Then, he pounded into me as he emptied himself completely.
“Scarlet.” When he was done, he lied beside me and rested his face
in the crook of my neck. “Now I feel better.”

I smiled. “Me, too.”

He pulled away and looked at me. “You
never told me your fantasies.”

I smiled. “Well, that was one of
them.”

He kissed me. “I’m glad I already made
that one come true.”

“
I have another one, but
it will have to wait.”

He raised an eyebrow. “What do you
mean?”

“
Well, I want to make love
to my husband, my prince charming, my everything.”

He smiled. “I’ll definitely make that
fantasy come true.”

“
I know.”

“
Now I wanna hear a kinky
one.”

I laughed. “Well, I’ve always wanted
to be handcuffed and blindfolded.”

He smiled. “I could do
that.”

“
Really?”

“
Oh yeah. Your lip will
start to bleed from biting it so hard.”

I smiled. “I love it when you’re like
that.”

“
Like what?”

“
Possessive, domineering,
controlling.”

“
I’m really not that bad,”
he said. “If I were, you would never see Cortland
again.”

“
Then you’re the perfect
amount.”

He grabbed my head then kissed me on
the forehead. “Do you have handcuffs?”

“
Why would I?” I
laughed.

He shrugged. I’ll use your panties
instead. That’s hotter anyway.”

“
You need to stop going
through my drawers.”

He smiled. “I can’t help it. They’re
nice.”

“
You sound like a
pervert.”

“
I never said I
wasn’t.”

I rolled my eyes. “I’m going to come
home and find you masturbating with one.”

His eyes brightened. “That’s not a bad
idea.”

I hit him on the shoulder. “Don’t be
gross.”

“
But you like it when I’m
gross.”

“
Why don’t you use a
banana peel or something?”

He stared at me. “Where did you come
up with that?”

“
Ryan.”

He laughed. “Seriously, the shit you
tell each other.”

I shrugged. “We’re weird. Yes, I’ve
heard it before.” I suddenly felt a pain in my stomach and I
sighed. I knew what it was. I totally forgot that it was coming. I
wish it didn’t happen right after I moved back in with
Sean.

He grabbed my fallen underwear from
the end of the bed then pulled my arms to the head
board.

“
What are you
doing?”

“
Tying you up.” He tied
the underwear around my wrists. When I tried to jerk my arms away,
they wouldn’t budge. I was totally stuck. I was surprised that the
thin fabric held me up. Then he grabbed a tie from this closet then
turned off the lights. It was totally dark in the room.

When he returned to the bed, he
covered my eyes with the silk and secured it around my head. He
pressed his enlarged cock against my thigh. He leaned over me and I
felt his lips kiss my body. He sucked the skin of my neck then
moved his mouth to my ear. “My Scarlet.” I moaned at his words. He
trailed his lips down between my thighs then toward the apex of my
thighs.

He leaned over me then inserted
himself within me. “If only you could see what I see.”

I bit my lip as I felt him slide into
me.

“
It feels really
good.”

I moaned.

“
Just enjoy it, Scar. This
is for you.”

“
Only for me?”

He kissed me. “Only for
you.”

He made love to me slowly, just the
way that I liked. I felt the orgasm start as soon as he entered me,
but now it was spreading through my body like a
wildfire.

“
I know you’re about to
come.”

“
How?”

“
You tighten around
me.”

I moaned again. “Sean.”

“
Yeah.”

“
Sean.”

“
Come on.”

I leaned my head back and cried in
pleasure. “Oh Sean.”

He increased his pace until he found
his release inside me. “Babe.” When he was finished, he pulled out
of me and flinched. Then he untied me and unbound me.

When my blindfold was removed, I saw
all the blood on his cock and I started to blush in embarrassment.
I’ve been having pains in my stomach for a day or so, but I didn’t
expect it to come so quickly—especially now. Sean caught my look.
“Knock that off, Scar. I don’t care.”

I stared at him. “Really?”

“
It’s just your period. I
really don’t. Please don’t be embarrassed.”

“
Okay.” I walked into the
bathroom and inserted a tampon within me. Then I took two pain
killers to dull the pain. When I walked back into the bedroom, Sean
was still lying in bed. I knew this would be a lazy day for us. I
had been staying up late at night after he went to sleep to work so
I could spend the day with him. I was tired, but I hated being
apart from him. I crawled back under the sheets and snuggled next
to him.

“
Did you have sex with
Penelope when she was on her period?”

He was quiet for a moment. “It bothers
me when you compare yourself to her.”

“
I’m not.”

“
Yes you are.”

“
I was just
wondering.”

“
Well, I
didn’t.”

“
Why?”

“
She didn’t want to, and I
didn’t push it. I loved her but we didn’t have as intense of a
sexual relationship as what you and I have.”

“
Were those the weeks you
masturbated?”

“
I can’t remember,” he
said. “But probably.”

“
It really doesn’t bother
you?”

“
No,” he said. “Would it
bother you if the situation was reversed?”

“
Like if blood was coming
out of your dick?” I asked in disgust.

He laughed. “Yes.”

I thought for a moment. “No, I guess
it wouldn’t.”

“
I know you’re clean,
Scar. There’s nothing to worry about.”

“
I never showed you my
papers.”

“
I believe you,
babe.”

I sighed in relief. “Okay.”

He pulled me to his chest then wrapped
his arm around me. He started to caress the engagement ring on my
finger. The feel of him touching me made me sleepy. I was almost
unconscious when there was a loud knock on the door. My heart raced
in my chest.

“
Babe, are you expecting
anyone?”

“
No,” I said. “It better
not be that slut, Maria, again.”

He rolled his eyes. “I seriously doubt
that, Scar.” He moved from my arms and dressed himself. I rose from
the bed and pulled on the dress he ripped from my body earlier. “As
much as I enjoy seeing you be possessive over me, it’s
unnecessary.”

Now it was my turn to roll my eyes.
“Whatever, Sean. Like you wouldn’t act the same way.”
