ClaimingRuby (15 page)
A ripple of laughter and applause moved through the crowd.
Wife? He wanted to marry her?
Tears flowed down her cheeks. She thought her heart would
burst with happiness.
“But that’s for another night. Right now I need to finish
claiming my sub. My beautiful Ruby.”
He undid the clasps on her restraints, unlocked the padlock
and lifted her off the stockade. She curled into his arms, pressed her face
into his chest, inhaled him, surrounded herself with his manliness.
She belonged to him. With everything she had.
“You did very well, my little slave.” He tugged her
sensitive nipples and she writhed in his arms.
“Joshua. Master.” She burned for him, burned for his cock
between her thighs.
“Shhh. I’m going to take care of you now but I want to do
that in private. Just you and me.” He walked with her into one of the private
rooms and laid her out on a bondage bench.
She held up her arms for restraint and he gently grasped her
wrists. “Not this time. I don’t want any barriers between us. I want to fuck
you, feel your nails scoring my back.”
She reached for his shirt and started to undo the buttons,
helping him undress. A good submissive was always of service to her Master. She
stripped off his shirt and explored the contours of his chest—the muscular
planes, hard lines and crisp hair. She pressed a kiss to his chest and he
groaned, fisting her hair.
“You drive me insane, Ruby.”
“I didn’t know it could be like this.” And she hadn’t. He’d
overwhelmed her and buried his way into her soul. And finally, with tonight,
given her the courage to offer herself completely.
He removed his pants and briefs. His long cock was hard and
angrily aroused. Watching her with Alex and Bastien had clearly had an effect
on him.
She grasped him at the base and pumped. He coated her fist
with pre-cum and her pussy clenched. “Inside me. I need you inside me.”
Ruby moved back and opened her thighs. He growled, ran a
finger along her slit, scooped some of her cream and tasted her. Like a feral
animal, his eyes went wide, his nostrils flared and he was on her. His dick
pushed at her opening, sliding past the slick folds.
She clung to his shoulders, dug her nails into his back as
he filled her. Pressure built as he slid home. When his balls hit her buttocks,
she tightened her inner walls on his shaft. The delicious friction made them
both moan.
He wrapped a hand around her throat, softly stroked the
collar he had placed on her. “I’m going to fuck you, mark you as mine. Don’t
ever leave me again, Ruby. Understand?”
“Yes Master.” She had no intention of leaving him. Not this
time.
He moved and drew his cock out with painstakingly slow
movements. She wanted to scream but then he plunged back inside and drove her
pleasure higher. In and out. He fucked her hard and fast, curling his hips to
add a rocking motion to his strokes. His head rubbed her G-spot.
“Mine. I claimed you when I put this collar on. You’ll never
fucking run from me again.” His words were deep and throaty in her ear. His
hand tightened around her neck, adding an element of pain to her pleasure. One
she welcomed with open arms. He knew just how far to take her.
“Never. I love you. I love you, Master.” She choked as he
slammed home one last time. Her orgasm exploded, ripped through her until she
was sure it would tear her apart. Her muscles spasmed. Her spine bowed. All the
teasing and touching had led to this moment of completion.
He roared above her, his movements jerky as he splashed hot
jets of cum inside her rippling cunt. Feeling his seed coating her walls sent
Ruby into ripples of aftershocks.
She wrapped her arms around him and held on. She belonged to
Joshua Quinn. She’d finally found a Master worthy of her submission.
He gathered her up and flipped them over so she was resting
on his chest. He lazily stroked her back. “I love you, Ruby. I meant what I
said—that collar is a sign of ownership but I still want you to be my wife.”
Ruby’s emotions broke wide open. She’d loved him from the
beginning but never dreamed he could love her back. He’d proven her wrong.
Owned. Claimed. Words that made her soar.
She pressed another kiss to his chest. “I’m glad you claimed
me. And the answer is yes, I’ll marry you.”
“Thank fucking Christ.”
She’d already given him her body. Tonight he’d claimed her
heart.
And she knew he’d take care of it forever.
