Crime and Punishment 4: Burning Submission (28 page)

“Well.” Josh let out a long sigh. “That’s not going to be a problem, since I turned in my notice at work.”

“You what?”

“The job had lost its appeal, or maybe I just found something I want more.” Josh bent his neck, bringing his forehead in line with hers. “And no, I will not regret that.” He stood back straight. “Now. Anything else?”

“What will you do for a job?” she asked.

“What?” Josh asked in feigned innocence. “I can’t lie around and be a bum, living off my wife’s success?”

She snorted. “Like you would even consider such a thing.”

Josh laughed and leaned down to place a quick kiss on her forehead. An electrical spark ignited, and the sting made her gasp.

“I see some things never change,” Josh drawled as he rubbed his fingers across his stinging lips.

Jennifer giggled but didn’t let herself be distracted. It wasn’t that Josh had to hold a job. She just wanted to make sure he would be happy. “You didn’t answer my question. You love that job.”

“I did love that job,” he acknowledged as he grabbed her left hand and slid the ring on her finger. “But I love you more.” He brought her hand up and kissed her ring finger, as though sealing the ring in place with his kiss. It made her heart melt. “Plus I’m getting too old to chase the bad guys. Nathan loves reminding me of that fact, by the way.”

Jennifer pressed her lips together to keep from smiling. Josh might be older than her, but he wasn’t old. Not to her anyway, and if he wanted to keep chasing bad guys, she was sure he would’ve done very well at it.

“But he is right about one thing. Is a life worth living if you don’t have someone you love to share it with?” Josh’s lips twisted. “He’s turned into a sentimental old fool since meeting Connelly. I think I liked him better the old way.”

This time Jennifer did smile.

Josh sighed. “The job had lost its draw, sweetheart. I didn’t enjoy going in anymore. I looked for reasons to leave early, to pass on cases. I didn’t want to be there, and I’m sure it showed. I want to be here with you. Besides, from what I understand, since you want to run the medical side of things, you’re in need of a good administrator.”

“You want a desk job?” she asked.

Josh moved closer, invading her space. So close his chest brushed across her nipples, making her breasts thicken in need. She tilted her head back so she could see his face.

“I can do a desk job.” His voice dropped to that sexy timbre that never failed to heat her blood. “Provided I can occasionally bend a certain submissive across it and torture her until she’s begging me to take her.”

Jennifer drew in a shaky breath. She was close to begging now, and he hadn’t even really seduced her. “You do realize, of course, that I would have to actually try you out first? See if you can truly perform to my standards.”

A wicked gleam shone in Josh’s eyes just before he put his hand at the back of her neck and stepped aside. With a quick move she didn’t expect, he turned her slightly and pushed her head down, forcing it to her desk.

Despite the speed with which he’d moved, her face didn’t hit the desk hard enough to hurt, but with enough force for her to know exactly who was in charge.

“I think you’ll find me to your satisfaction,” he growled in her ear, and every part of her body tingled with need. “But just to prove it to you, shall we begin?”

“Yes, Master,” she replied breathlessly. Her gaze caught the open door to her office. “Josh, the door.”

“Shut it,” he ordered.

“I can’t.”

“You stopped a bullet, Jenn. Do you mean to tell me you haven’t tried to move anything else?”

“No. I haven’t tried that again,” she whispered.

“Manipulate the energy around it just like you did the bullet. Make it shut.”

Jennifer sighed and tried to push herself up, but Josh’s hand on the back of her neck kept her pinned to the cool wood of the desk.

“From here,” Josh said as he ran his free hand up the outside of her thigh and under her skirt.

How could she possibly concentrate when he touched her like that?

“I like it when you wear skirts,” he murmured as he moved his hand over her ass. “But these panties have to go. Pull them off.”

Jennifer swallowed as she reached for the cotton panties and pushed them down as far as she could. Josh pushed them the rest of the way to the floor, allowing her to kick them aside.

“You better get the door, Jenn. Otherwise there’ll be a very hot show.”

Jennifer returned her concentration to the door. She’d been practicing a lot lately, learning to focus, to better control her abilities. Now she only exploded lightbulbs when she wanted to. But she’d never tried to move anything. Hadn’t even thought she could. She’d always believed that night at the house with Josh had been an adrenalin-fueled fluke.

The door swung shut with a loud bang, rattling the pictures on the wall next to it, and she gasped in surprise.

“Very good, sweetheart,” Josh purred. “Now spread your legs.”

She did as he ordered, enjoying every second of his rough commands.

“Let’s see,” he said as he spread her labia and slid his fingers through the thick cream that leaked from her opening. “Where were we? Oh, yes.” He thrust two fingers into her already wet pussy, bringing her to her toes. “I was going to show you how I was the man for the job.”

Jennifer almost came instantly. The feel of his thick fingers stretching her, preparing her for his entry sent her over the edge in a blazing-hot ball of fire.

“It’s been way too long since I’ve felt this hot pussy gripping my cock,” Josh whispered in her ear as he continued to finger fuck her into pure bliss.

In and out. Slow and deep. It was wonderful and not enough all at the same time. He pulled his fingers out and circled her clit. Her hips jerked, seeking more. Her fingers dug into the edge of the desk, holding tight as she fought the rising tide of her orgasm. She wouldn’t be able to hold off much longer.

Josh removed his hand from her pussy and slapped her hard on the right ass cheek. Jennifer gasped as the sharp pain sent a wave of pleasure to her womb. He shoved her skirt up around her waist, giving him a clear view of her ass as the afternoon sun slashed through the window and warmed her flesh.

“Oh, this is nice,” Josh murmured as he smoothed his hand over the spot that burned.

Jennifer hissed as his touch sent another wave of lust to her core.

“Definitely nice,” Josh said in a casual voice before he slapped her ass again a little harder than the first time. Jennifer squeaked in surprise, then moaned as he harshly gripped the spot where he’d slapped, intensifying the burn. “I just realized,” Josh murmured. “You never said I love you back. Perhaps I should refuse to give you what you want until you do.”

“I love you,” she quickly replied.

Josh laughed. “Greedy little sub.”

He swatted her ass again, this time hitting lower on her ass cheek. Jennifer bit her lip as the walls of her pussy clenched in need.

“I bet this pussy is weeping for me to fill it,” Josh growled before he slapped her ass again.

Jennifer wanted to cry…she was so hot for him. She didn’t want him to torture and play around. She wanted him to take her, hard and deep, force her to accept every inch of him until his balls slapped against her pussy. She loved this position the best. She loved the way he dominated her.

“Master, please,” she begged. “I love you. Please.”

“Please what?” Josh asked as he circled her opening with his fingers.

“Please take me. Show me you’re the man for the job.”

“I like a sub who knows how to beg, but you haven’t begged enough, I don’t think.”

“Josh,” she gasped as he pressed his fingers halfway in before sliding them out again, teasing her.

“I want you so turned on that you come the second I enter you. Then I can take my time fucking you. I want you coming and screaming over and over,” Josh growled as he leaned down and gently nipped at her shoulder.

“Oh, yes. Please,” she whispered, moving her hips and trying to force him to go deeper.

“That sounds nice,” Josh whispered. “Again.”

“Master, please.”

Josh pushed his fingers in very slowly, making Jennifer groan in frustration.

“Again,” Josh barked as he thrust deep enough to make her lift to her toes.

“Please. Oh, God. Please, Master. I need you. Please fuck me. Please.”

With a satisfied chuckle, Josh pulled his fingers free. She heard his zipper lower, and her breath quickened. He removed his hand from the back of her neck, but she remained glued to the desk, her legs shaking as she listened to him rip open a condom and roll it on.

Josh put the head of his cock at her entrance, and she gasped in excitement.

“Oh, yes,” she whispered.

Before entering her, Josh grabbed her hands and brought them to the small of her back. It didn’t take much pressure to keep her pinned to the desk. She couldn’t move anything with his hand holding her just above her ass.

“Very nice,” he murmured as he pressed the tip of his cock into her opening.

He moved too slowly. She wanted him to ram into her, take her hard.

She wiggled as best as she could, trying to silently tell him what she wanted.

“You’re tight, sweetheart. Slow down,” Josh growled in a strained voice.

“No…not slow,” she moaned.

With a low groan of primal satisfaction, Josh pressed into her balls-deep. Jennifer screamed as his thick girth stretched her walls and sent her headlong into a pulsing orgasm. Every part of her shook as her walls clamped down on his cock, sucking and quivering around his length until she thought she saw stars.

“Oh, God,” she cried as Josh began to move.

Slowly at first, then harder, faster, pounding into her almost roughly as she erupted into a second orgasm. Josh slowed and moaned. She loved the sound as it rumbled through his chest.

“I like watching your pussy swallow my cock,” he murmured as he changed the depth of his thrusts, making them more shallow.

He pressed balls-deep again, and both of them moaned loudly before he made his thrusts shallow again. Jennifer couldn’t believe she could still feel anything at the moment. Every part of her hummed for more, despite having come twice already. He never failed to do this to her. Made her crazy. Made her beg. Made her need him with each breath in her body.

“I’ve missed you, Jenn,” Josh whispered. “I’ve missed this.” He pressed deep again, this time shoving hard. Jennifer gasped in surprise, then let out a long, low moan of satisfaction. She really liked it when he did that.

“You like that, don’t you, sweetheart?” Josh purred as he did it again, this time pulling almost all the way out before shoving back in.

“Oh, yes,” she agreed. “More.”

Josh snickered and slapped her ass with his free hand, hard enough to make her cry out.

“Greedy,” he murmured but gave her what she wanted.

He pulled out and rubbed the length of his cock along her slit, letting the head gently brush over her sensitive nub. The brief contact made her shudder. He pressed his cock back in, slowly plunging deeper. She bit her lip to keep from screaming.

She was so close again. How could she come again?

“Josh,” she whimpered.

“No,” Josh snarled as he pulled his cock free of her pussy, leaving her gasping in shock and unfulfilled release.

“Master, no,” she panted, thinking he was punishing her for calling him Josh.

“Shh,” he admonished as he pulled her to her feet.

Her knees wobbled, and her thighs shook with weakness as he turned her to face him.

“On your back, sweetheart. It’s time to really make you scream.”

Josh set her on the desk and lifted her legs over his shoulders, forcing her to her back. He slid the head of his cock into her opening and teased the sensitive nerves just on the inside her channel. Jennifer hissed and lifted her hips, needing more.

With a low growl, he thrust forward, letting the head of his cock rub relentlessly against her G-spot. Her stomach tightened, and the walls of her pussy clenched. She could feel her orgasm building, and her womb quivered with anticipation.

“Don’t stop! Please don’t stop!” she screamed.

Josh kept thrusting, kept stimulating that spot until she tensed and then screamed loud enough to wake the dead.

“That’s it, sweetheart. Let’s keep it going.” He pressed his thumb into her clit, sending her soaring over the edge once more.

Jennifer could hardly breathe as wave after wave of intense pleasure ripped through her. She was barely aware of Josh’s groan as he pressed deep and ground his groin against her clit, keeping the throbs of her release going for what seemed like forever.

Josh leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. “I love you, Jenn.”

“I love you,” she sighed, unable to do or say anything more.

Epilogue

Three years later

Jennifer stared at the CT scan, studying the anomaly that appeared in the young teen’s brain. It was different from any other she’d seen, but she hadn’t been able to explain it. Laughter from outside caught her attention, and she walked over to look out the second-story window.

Josh and Nathan were in the backyard playing football with the boys. The girls were on the sidelines with Connelly, cheering them on. Jennifer smiled.

Her compound had turned into a safe haven for teenage boys and girls with unusual abilities. She never imagined there were so many kids like her. She’d give anything to have known them when she was younger, but at least now maybe she could help them. It was nice to know she wasn’t alone in the world.

Josh was the school administrator, keeping the twenty-plus kids in line. She was glad she’d chosen to put the school here. Josh was close to Nathan, and she was close to Connelly, whom she’d become good friends with.

Jennifer and her medical staff took care of the kids’ health and worked at determining what caused their various psychic abilities. Some of the students wanted to get rid of them. Others wanted to keep the gifts, as Nathan insisted on calling them, and just learn to better control them.

All the students had flourished since arriving. Some had been wards of the state, and the school was the only family they’d ever known. Some came from families who were afraid of them, but a few came from loving homes like she’d once had.
