Chapter 10: Home Sweet Sex

I walked through the door ahead of him. The cold air blasted me. I knew I couldn't run. For everyone who worked at Echo Brickell worked for The Wolfgang's and they'd have no problem tackling me to the ground for their Alpha.

I sped to the elevator, quickly pressing the button, hoping the doors would close before Cullen could get there. No such luck. I rolled my eyes.

"Trying to ditch me huh?"he wasn't pleased, but he wasn't angry either. He seemed numb & drained. The light from his eyes before was gone. He looked exhausted.

The elevator dinged, signaling we were at our penthouse.

"Hey girl!"Starr smiled at me from the kitchen. She had 2 large buckets of popcorn.

"Hey Gio."Kenny appeeared with 2 large buckets of popcorn as well.

"We are all in Theater 1 bingeing Criminal Minds. Want to join?"Starr's smile were usually infectious, but I forced a smile. "Not tonight..Maybe tomorrow. I'm tired."

I walked past them and headed for mine & Cullen's room. Cullen followed closely behind me. He never let me out of his sight. I think it made him anxious. Like he had to protect me 24/7.

"Are you still going to make me sleep on the couch Gio."I ignored him.

"I'm going to shower."

"Can I join?"I could hear the smirk in his voice.

"No."I almost smiled.

I let the steaming hot water pour over my exhausted body.

'How am I gonna escape?' That question was always in the back of my mind.

'Do you even want to anymore?'A voice quietly whispered.

"I don't know.."I said quietly, puttimg my head on the wall. I was defeated.

After I washed my hair and body I got out. Walking out into the cold room.

Cullen looked at me from the bed he didn't say anything as he took in my toweled body. He was wearing great sweat pants and was shirtless. He got up, walking over to me, reaching for my towel. I lightly flinched back, gripping my towel tighter.

"I'll be gentle I promise."he inhaled, biting his bottom lip.

"I..I'm not ready." I turned away. I was embarrassed more than anything.

"Sure you're not Princess."he chuckled, picking me up bridal style.

Cullen laid me down on his California King sized bed, his sheets black. His breathing became heavy as I squeezed my legs closed, looking out the window-wall and into the beautifully lit city of Miami.

His breathing became deeper as he took in my body. I hadn't realized that he was hovering over me. His hand came down and caressed my cheek. I closed my eyes, enjoying his warmth.

"May I?"he waited before doing anything further, his dark eyes staring attentively at me, his hand over my towel.

He's a lot gentler than I thought..

I nodded, and he excitedly took off my towel.

"God.."His eyes seemed to grope every inch of my body that they could. Taking in ever detail. My eyes began to fill with tears.

"Don't fucking cry."he chuckled, smiling lovingly at me.

"You don't like my body? I'm always afraid that you'd not like them or any of me." It started raining, my heart staring to ache, I put my hands over my breasts.

"GioYanna. Stop. You're fucking incredible. You're perfect."He grabbed my hands pulling them away.

"Fuck,"he said breathily,"Your expressions I can't hold myself back anymore."he lunged at me, grabbing hold of my wrists. He pinned them near the edges of the bed. Cullen began to bite my neck. I winced at the pain his teeth caused, but it strangely felt good. I tried to free my wrists, but the more I struggled the harder his grip got. He started kissing my breast, holding both wrists in one hand above my head, as I laid on the bed. I felt my chest heave. He ran his free hand over my waist, then slowly made his way down, barely grazing my skin, it was enough to drive me bat shit crazy. Cullen was concentrated so closely on my curves. He stopped, looking up at my face, proceeding to put his index & middle finger in his mouth.

I enjoyed being dominated, maybe cuz I was so assertive & dominating outside the bedroom.

My heart began pounding harder.

"Are you ready?"he smirked.

"If I say no will you stop?"I raised an eyebrow, looking at him.

"Probably not."

"Ok then." I smirked back, giving him a bit more sass.

"Close your eyes."he whispered.

"I'm good." I resisted.

"Close your eyes."his voice was slightly more demanding this time, but you could hear his smile.

"Nope."I smiled.

"Close. Your. Eyes. Or. Else." He demanded.

"Or. Else. What?"I matched his annunciation.

I suddenly was greeted with a peck on my right cheek. Then my left. Then my forehead. Then my nose. Then he came in for my lips.

"Or else what, you gonna hurt me?"I glared at him.

"Why do you gonna be like this?"He looked pissed now, "Your suck a fucking moment killer."

I smirked. "Yeah well maybe you shoulda fallen for someone who's more subservient."

"You should have just closed your fucking eyes!"he yelled, his grip on my wrists tightened.

"What so you could get some? I told you I'm not fucking ready!"I hissed, "You act like you are so fucking irresistible!"

"Oh I see. You're playing hard to get."Cullen smirked.

"No the fuck I'm not, I'm just done with your bullshit!"

"Lemme getta taste." He breathed, "Just a taste."

"No, if I give in, then you'll think you can just walk all over me."I gave him the wtf look.

"Just give me time. I'll let you know when I am ready."I said softly, caressing his cheek.
