Mine (Book 2 of the His Series)

Thirty-Five

Ellie

The next morning I had just woken up realizing just who's bed I was currently occupying. I sat up naked, noticing the empty space next to me and that it was still lukewarm. But his scent was as fresh as if he had just been there a minute prior. I inhaled the sheets that touched his body and held onto them like they were him. I never knew I'd feel like this again, so in love and full of life. Last night had been as great as my very first time with him in Italy and it reminded me of how I really felt for him before all of this mess started. I was glad we reconciled.

Gathering the sheets around me, I padded around the room gathering my nightgown and slipping it on before walking out into the kitchen where he was sitting, reading the paper and drinking some coffee.

"Hey." I said quietly

He looked towards me, his eyes widening a bit before replying in return.

"Hey yourself. You sleep well?" He asked with a smirk

"Yep. You?" I asked as I went over to the coffee maker to make my own cup.

"Like a baby."

"Good to hear." I commented, adding cream and sugar

After that it got a bit quiet as I went to go join him at the table. I could tell he was really deep in thought.

"What's the matter?" I asked him

"Nothing....I'm just thinking about last night."

"What about it?" I asked, taking a drink

"I feel like I forced you in a way. I doubt you came to my room to do what we did."

"What, you mean fuck? Leo, it's okay to say it. we're adults here." I chuckled

"You think that's all we did?" He grimaced

"Well what else would you call it?"

"Making love Els. That's what it actually was."

"Oh. Well, no, you didn't force me to do anything. Although that isn't what I came to talk to you about, it's okay the way things went."

"Really?" He asked me

"Of course."

He stood up from the table and walked over to me.

"What?" I asked as he stared at me

"Stand up." He asked me

I complied with no hesitation and he guided me over towards the middle of the table, commanding me to bend over.

"Hands on the table." He commanded quietly

I did so and I felt his hand trail up and down my back going towards my butt and then going back up towards my neck.

"Are you mine?" He asked in a low voice

"What?" I asked, not sure if I heard him right.

I felt him lean down to my ear and whisper once more, "Are. You. Mine?"

"What does th-"

SMACK!

The first hit reverbed off of the walls of the kitchen, making the overall experience of the first hit more memorable.

"Answer the question pet, are you mine?" He asked once more.

"Of course I am."

"Say it."

"I'm yours Leo." I said quietly

"Good. Now I can punish you."

"For what!?" I asked
