Although she was struggling against the both of them, Ally pushed against his chest and was surprised when he let her lean away from him. "No, Enzo! You can't do this to me."
He lifted her chin with the tip of his finger and stared deeply into her eyes as he said, "You are mine. I can do anything I want to you, by your own words—multiple times. And I would never, ever do anything on purpose to hurt you, Ally. If you don't remember anything else, please remember that. I slept on a couch that was like cruel and inhumane punishment, I've agonized over where you were for the past eighteen months and whether you were okay or sick or hurting, or if you'd found someone else, and at first, when I found out where you were, I wanted to kill J.D. because you were so obviously happy and I thought you two were more to each other than you were. And I thought—long and hard—about whether or not I could let you go, let you find happiness without me. And, well, I guess you know the answer to that."
He kissed her again, softly, coaxing a response from her that she didn't want to give, but that the rest of her was dying to.
"Please forgive me. I love you. Come back and be my wife and my love and my submissive, not necessarily in that order."
Ally didn't know what to say. Forgiving him hadn't ever really entered her mind. She'd spent the majority of her time entertaining revenge fantasies, not reunion scenes between them. She didn't really know what to say, and he could see it plainly in her eyes.
"Come home with me."
It wasn't a question.
The home he meant wasn't necessarily his cabin, either. She found that he had bought and moved into her parents' place and had even gone so far as to buy the contents of the storage units she'd rented and then let lapse, whether consciously or unconsciously.
"We can live in either place," he said. "I thought you might want to stay here, although it's your decision."
He had been a perfect gentleman from the limo ride to the private jet he'd hired—he'd been romantic and affectionate, but he hadn't pressed for a resumption of their intimate relationship on any level—submission or not.
Ally was surprised that she was as glad to be back as she was. She'd thought all she would ever feel about these places was pain, but she was wrong. There were a lot of good memories, too, and he was a part of lots of them.
Especially those they had made at the cabin. She glanced up at him, suddenly feeling unusually shy, not sure exactly where they stood with each other now. "I think I'd prefer to live at the cabin."
His eyes lit up. It was her first real acknowledgment of what he'd said to her in the limo.
He waited until they were there and he had closed and locked the door behind them, barely able to comprehend that she was back in this house with him, before he captured her left hand and slid the rings he'd carried with him ever since he'd discovered them on his bureau, back onto her fingers.
Then he kissed the tips of her fingers, saying reverently, with everything he felt for her in his voice and his eyes, "You are mine."
Her smile was the biggest he'd seen on her face in quite some time. But she didn't give him the desired response immediately, and he was in no mood to wait. He hauled her up against him and put his hand over her behind as an impetus, but she just grinned up at him.
"Allegra Marie Olivia—"
"I am yours," she whispered into his ear, standing on tiptoe, causing a shudder to run through his whole big body as he leaned down to kiss her.
She was his again, and all was right with his world.
The End
Carolyn Faulkner
The words “spanking” and “discipline” have always sent a shiver up Carolyn Faulkner's spine. She knows she's not alone.
Writing started as a way to explore her feelings. Soon short stories flowed from her pen featuring reluctant heroes taking the leading lady in hand, but always for her own good.
Today Carolyn is the author of dozens of books. She writes from her home in Maine, where she lives with her husband and leading man.
