Possessive: At Her Masters Side (Kingswood Saga Book 5) Completed

7. Alexander

She was magnificent and as I watched her fall apart, under our touch, I knew I would do anything I had to, to keep her. She would be mine.  I look at Henry and grin wryly, well ours.

We gently soothe her body as she comes down from her climax, her mind not with us as she lays in wild abandon and as I undo the silk restraints, I press a kiss to each wrist above the pulse point, Henry returning from the washroom with a soft cloth and cleaning her up, the plug easily sliding out of her with a gentle tug, her body releasing a low moan and quivers as it slid free.

"She is going to try to run, you know that Alex" he warns quietly and I nod, knowing the truth in his words, but how could I let her go.

I pull a soft silk blanket over her and lift her into my arms, allowing the soft material to fold under her as I sat down on the sofa with her in my lap., stroking her hair gently as we waited for her to come back to us.

Henry had placed a glass of water next to me and as I felt her stiffen in my arms, I reached for it, bring it to her lips and helping her take a sip, sushhing her when she tried to object, but as her arms were wrapped up under the blanket she could not take the glass herself.

"Enough" she whispered and I passed the glass to Henry to put down.

She trembled in my arms.  "I need to go home" she whispered and I exchanged a look with Henry.
"Stay with us" I ask softly and her eyes widen, locking with mine as I watch the fight within her, till finally fear wins.
"I can't stay, this isn't me" she cries softly, turning away and looking at the floor.

"Don't run" I tell her and she shakes her head, refusing to look up.
"Geneva, look at me" I command her but she refuses, till my firm grasp lifts her trembling chin and I can see the tears in her eyes.

"Oh baby, this is tearing you apart, admit it, you don't want to leave, you are just overwhelmed with how you feel and its scaring you" I tell her and she pulls back and utters the one word I didn't want to hear.
"Elephant" she cries out and I exchange a frustrated look with Henry.

"Elephant, you said choose a safe word and I did, now everything stops, you promised" she cries and I nod, sliding her carefully off my lap and onto the sofa, moving to distance myself from her.

"Henry" I said but her was already ready, placing her clothes on the seat next to her.
"We will wait outside for you to dress" I state and turn away, knowing Henry is right behind me.

"We cannot let her go" Henry paces beside me muttering but I shake my head at him.
"She used her safe word, it is her decision, it will always be her decision" I tell him and he nods, still frowning as he tries to think of a way to persuade her to stay.

She is fully dressed and her social mask back in place as she steps out of our room, glancing between us, but keeping her focus on the wall and not us, avoiding making eye contact.

"Thank you for showing me the club, however I think this is one job that is beyond my capabilities and respectfully I turn down the opportunity to work with you" she says stiltedly and I growl.

"No"
"Pardon, its my choice and I choose to say no" she argues.
"No, you are running away, we will not let you go that easily" I snap and she blanches, her hand coming up to her throat and I see her remember the collar.

"Take it off please" she pleads and at my nod, Henry moves behind her and undoes the collar, passing it across to me, the leather still warm from her body against the palm of my hand.

"I will come for you, we both will and you will not be able to walk away again. I promise you" I growl, watching as she walks away from me and I swear to myself I will only let her do this to me once.

Henry guides her to the top of the stairs before she waves him off and he too watches her walk away.
For now.
