Talk To Me

42. You are mine

"I can bring you pleasure like you've never known, better than anyone else in bed."

That's how it all started. I could've turned him down, but there was a part of me itching to prove this arrogant woman wrong. Maybe I shouldn't have come with her tonight. She hasn't stopped touching me, and even though she's been holding back lately, taking care not to push me too far due to descent events, I find myself wanting more, even as a part of me fears her energy will leave me numb everywhere, like last time.

"I thought about you every single day, K," Wale murmured, her hand grazing slowly on Kind's body. "A month of you barely touching me, and it drove me mad, wondering what it'd feel like to have you hold me again, to see your face, your expressions..." Her voice was laced with desperation as she leaned in, teasing Kind with soft kisses along his neck. Kind shivered, whispering for her not to stop. He begun moving slowly, his hands roaming over her in response, careful not to overdo it but setting her skin on fire.

"I want to make you feel incredible, so tell me, where should I touch you?" she whispered. "Tonight, K, I'm not sure I'll be able to keep playing nice..."

With one sudden move, Kind nudged, then paused, his lips brushing Wale's ear. With her back pressed against his chest, she began feeling completely caged in. He already knew he had all the control here. Even if Wale wanted to fight him, she couldn't, for she was trapped between his arms and the heat coursing through her. And just as she thought she'd fall apart, he tightened his hold, his mouth grazing her neck. "I can't hold out much longer, Wale, so you'd better tell me what you want before I do whatever I want with you..."

"...stop teasing me...do...do whatever you want..."

Wale was feeling embarrassed for her words begun coming out in gasps. She tried to turn away, but Kind pulled her face back to his, his eyes dark with desire. He held her there, his hand drifting lower, and as he moved against, she realised he wasn't going to stop until he'd seen every inch of her respond to him. She was burning up, every nerve alive with the way he moved, and he kept his lips on hers, refusing to let go even when she was gasping for air.

Before she knew it, he'd flipped her to face him. Kind had already known she hated being like this, so bare, vulnerable, with nowhere to hide, for Wale enjoyed control, but Kind was having none of it today.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I won't be able to stop," he warned, his eyes burning. "But since you begged me so sweetly, I'll give you everything you want by doing everything I want..."

Wale almost cried out as he moved again, his intensity leaving her breathless. He didn't miss a beat, just kept his gaze fixed on her, watching her twist and turn. His hands gripped her waist tightly, each movement sending heat radiating through her. She tried to arch up, to meet him, but every attempt only seemed to spur Kind on. "Didn't I warn you? I'm going to do what I want tonight, so don't even think about stopping me... I want to kiss you, bite you..."

Wale couldn't take it anymore. She reached out, hoping he'd lean down and kiss her, give her something to ground herself in all this heat. But instead, Kind grabbed her wrists, pinning them above her head, holding her firmly in place. His gaze locked on hers, intense and unwavering as he kept hitting every spot with precision. Wale's body felt like it was about to break, waves of heat building up everywhere, numbing and burning all at once. As he bent down, his lips found hers again, his relentless pace still driving her to the edge.

'This man was going to be the death of me.'

"Wale...you're beautiful..." he murmured, almost in a trance, his hands firm on Wale's waist. His voice was low, a little shaky, as he kissed along her face, her eyes, her lips. "Stay with me...don't go anywhere."

The way he said it, the gentleness in his voice, sent a tear down Wale's cheek. He noticed, lifting himself enough to look at her with a soft smile.

With a deep breath, he shifted again, his movements never slowing. Wale lost count of how many times she'd come undone, her body barely able to take it. And yet, every touch, every word made something new build up, coiling tight inside her. She felt her whole body tremble, the sensation overwhelming, his voice echoing in her ears.

Afterward, he kept his arms around her, kissing her tenderly, as if he never wanted to let go. They lay there, just staring at each other, and though Wale couldn't read his mind, she could guess from that smile of his that he was pleased. And even now, it amazed her that he was her's, that this man was drawn to her, not to someone like Todo who could give him so much more.

"Are you unsatisfied, or just wishing for more?" Kind asked with a smirk, his tone teasing. His energy amazed Wale, making her wonder where it come from? He was relentless, with a stamina that didn't seem to match her easygoing exterior.

"I was just thinking," Wale replied honestly. "I'm about to be a mom soon, and I haven't seen Cherry in months..." she trailed off, the weight of it sinking in. "I never imagined becoming a guardian or...well, anything like that. I wanted it, I just gave up on it."

"You don't need to be anything but yourself."

"Sure, it'll be an adjustment, but I'd rather go through it with you. If you left, I'd track you down with my child in my arms, and I wouldn't stop until I found you, K."

Kind gave her a quick kiss, then looked her in the eye, his voice firm. "You still don't get it do you? Cherry is in the mix of it all."

"I'm not going anywhere," Wale promised. "But I won't date someone with a child."

"Keep telling yourself that," Wale replied, grinning. "We already do everything couples do, don't we? We kiss, we love, we live together, we go out, we have each other. So as far as I'm concerned, I already have you."

There was no arguing with her. Kind sighed. "And what about the future? Will you be living alone with the child, or is Cherry going to be there too?"

"He made it clear he doesn't want to raise the baby once it's born, for your information. After we broke up, we agreed she'd let the surrogate carry the pregnancy to term and then hand over the child. We even signed a contract to that effect. I told him I could stick around for a few months to help adjust, but he refused. So it'll just be me, my child, and a nanny I've already hired."

'She'd planned everything, and here I was, worrying for no reason. Maybe I should stop looking so far ahead. After all, Cherry, Todo, even Wale, they all had their lives. I needed to focus on mine this time around.'

"Todo taught me a few things about her business during the search," Kind said, surprising himself. "I liked it, and I think...I could see myself working in that world. It'd give me a purpose, something real."

The moment the words left his mouth, Wale's expression darkened. "I don't like the idea of you spending so much time with Todo."

Kind rolled my eyes. "I don't care what you think, Wale. When we get back, I'm living life on my terms."
