A Bid For Love (5 page)

Ryan's hand slipped down between her body and
the chair. His nimble fingers reached her clit and started to roll
the tiny ball of nerves between his thumb and forefinger before
giving it a hard pinch. Erika gasped softly, her head dropping back
to rest on Ryan's shoulder as he drove harder against her. Gripping
the chair tight, she pushed the orgasm back, even as it threatened
to overwhelm her.

"That's good baby, I can feel your pussy
quivering around me, your body trembling as you wait for me to
allow your orgasm. I'm so proud of you baby."

Erika whimpered, her breath coming in fast
pants as she fought to deserve his praise. It was so hard, her
juices were a steady stream down her thighs as he pounded against
her.

"You can come now," he whispered, so softly
Erika doubted she had heard correctly. Rolling her head back and
forth on his shoulder, she struggled to quiet the dull roar in her
ears as he spoke again. "That's right Erika. Your body's mine, your
orgasm's mine. Come for me."

Her heart racing, Erika released the tight
control she had on her body and let the waves of her orgasm crest.
They swept over her, she fast and deep, she felt like she was
drowning. Ryan's hands on her hips held her steady though, and she
let the sensations claim her, knowing he would keep her safe.

Almost from a distance, she heard Ryan groan,
then the warm flood of his come within her as he climaxed.

Legs trembling, she leaned forward over the
chair, her body limp and unable to take any more. Feeling
completely wrung out, she only managed a faint whimper of protest
as Ryan's cock slipped form her body and he moved from around
behind her.

Gently he brushed her sweaty hair back from
her forehead, and trialed his fingertips down her face and
neck.

"You did good baby, so very good."

Erika smiled softly, knowing he could see her
adoration in her eyes.

"It's time for your last gift."

A surge of anticipating pushed her weariness
to the background as he picked up a small package from the seat of
the chair. Rather than hand it to her, he opened the lid and showed
her what was inside--a silver collar, her name engraved in a
sweeping font, the letters curling gracefully.

As Ryan grabbed the collar and tossed the box
aside, she found herself holding her breath. The feel of the metal
against her sweat soaked skin made the moment more real. It wasn't
a soft glide of a necklace chain, rather it was a study reminder of
Ryan's possession, of his claim to her and her place in his
life.

"We'll go tomorrow and pick out stones to
adorn it with, ones to match the color of your eyes."

As the clasp snapped into place, she raised
trembling fingers to trace her name.

"And yours too," she answered, affirming the
commitment accepting the collar implied. She wanted the jewelry to
contain a piece of both of them. Ryan's fingers brushed against
hers, and with tears of joy in her eyes she tipped her head up for
his kiss.

Ryan whispered one word against her lips
before claiming her mouth. "Mine."

Born to ride on the back of dragons, to
journey among the stars in a ship traveling faster than light, or
to dance the night away in the arms of a mysterious vampire,
Michelle Houston willingly shares the worlds in her mind in an
effort to bring them to life.

Writing everything from short and sweet
stories, to hot and spicy tales of kink, from contemporary tales of
erotic romance to erotica romances featuring Greek gods, vampires
and were-creatures, she has crossed sexualities and has gone
wherever her mental muse has guided her, a journey she has never
regretted.

As for the more mundane details: Michelle is
a Sagittarius, born in the Chinese zodiac Year of the Horse. She
currently resides in the Midwest US with her husband and daughter.
Michelle has a love of the natural world around us (except for
insects, spiders, snakes, scorpions, and she reserves the right to
add more at any time). She's one of those people that actually
liked Biology in High School, and enjoys learning about all things
science.

In other words, she is an ordinary woman
with an imagination that is only held in bounds by how fast she can
type.
