Chapter 2: CONNOR

"Yes, Connor." Her eyes were wide on my face with just a hint of fear this time. I had no doubt I looked like a crazy man on top of her. I could feel the skin drawn tight against my cheekbones the way it did when I went into warrior stance.

And this was the hottest battle I'd ever fought in my career. "I'll give you time to adjust to having a man like me in your life, but heed my warning. The you that you were when you woke up this morning no longer exist.

There's no more Danielle. It's now Connor and Danielle. I'll teach you what it means to belong to me later; right now, I just want to fuck. Are you with me so far?"

"Yes, Connor, please." She curled her pussy up, trying to get more of my cock inside her. That sweet Georgia peach voice of hers is going to get her drilled into the fucking bed time and again.

I lifted her legs and spread her so I could fuck her deeper and harder. There was no way I could play the gallant lover, not this first time.

Maybe the next round or the one after that, but this time was all about me putting my stamp on what I'd finally decided to own. I looked down at where we were joined, and her eyes followed mine.

She had lost all control of her body. Gone was the prim and proper southern belle. Beneath me was a woman full of heat and passion. Her nails scored down my back as she fucked up at me, trying to get my cock as deep inside her as possible.

I gave her what she wanted with a hard pounding thrust that made the bed shake and bang into the wall.

Her soft cries were buried in my chest as she licked and bit me there, too far gone to know what she was doing. That's just the way I wanted her. Her ass moved wildly as her pussy milked my cock. Fuck yeah.

"I love the way you move beneath me, fuck, I always knew you were gonna be trouble. Fuck me." We tore the sheets from the bed as we rolled over it together-me on top, her on top, me behind her.

I fucked sweet Danielle until I had nothing left. It had been a while since I'd fucked. In fact, not since the first time, I laid eyes on her. Somehow giving what I wanted to give her to someone else seemed wrong. Even when I had no intentions of pursuing her, she was all that I'd wanted, all that I'd thought about.

She lay in my arms, exhausted from the rigorous fucking. Her skin was red in places where I'd been too rough, but she didn't complain. "Sleep, sweet Danielle. I think I've ridden you enough for one night."

She blushed and hid her face in my neck before settling down again. I held her close as her breathing evened out in sleep and relaxed as I felt my freedom slipping away. There was no way after having her that anything less than forever would be enough.

I'd despaired of ever finding this with anyone. Never gave it much thought after I joined up, but one look at her and the feelings she stirred up inside me were all-consuming.

She made me think of happily ever after and family. All the things I'd once sworn would never be for me. I'm just happy that I'd found her now that my life was settled.

So that I would never have to leave her behind while I went into battle. I turned our bodies so I could spoon with her for the rest of the night. Until I slipped from her bed at the crack of dawn, tired but energized, a night spent in the saddle like that will do that to ya.

"When will I see you again?" She wasn't in much better shape than I was as she laid back against the pillows, her body still flushed from that last round of vigorous fucking. I'd grabbed a quick shower in her bathroom to wash away the heavy smell of sex, but I still carried her scent on me.

"I have to go to work. I'll see you after that. Do you have a lease on this place?" I kept talking as I got dressed to leave. It felt like I was leaving a limb behind or some shit.

It's gonna take a while for the newness to wear off, I guess. But right now, I think I needed at least a year in sweet Danielle before I would be comfortable leaving.

"No, it belongs to my dad; why?" Her soft voice brought me back.

"I just wanted to know how long it would be before you could move."

"Move?"

"Yeah, I want you with me. That's a deal-breaker. If we do this, you're with me" I spoke over her as she was about to say something that I'm sure I didn't want to hear. I'd made up my mind somewhere around the third or fourth time I was fucking her.

We'd crossed the point of no return, no point in fucking around now. I've seen enough to know life is too fucking short not to grab it by the balls.

And when everything you ever wanted and didn't know you needed fell into your lap, you'd be a dumb son of a bitch not to hold on tight. I've been many things in my life; dumb has never been one of them.

"But..."

"No buts, babe, I asked you if you understood, and you said yes. There's no more discussion. Get your shit together. I'll be back around six to get you. Stay sweet, baby."

She knelt in the bed with the sheet wrapped loosely around her as she reached up for my mouth with hers. Rumpled and well fucked, that's what she looked like.

"Fuck." I was out of my clothes and between her legs before she knew what hit her. "This is going to be hard and quick, baby, hold on."

I spread her beneath me, and with a cursory thrust with my fingers to make sure she wasn't too dry to take me, I entered her hard. Her body bucked beneath mine as her legs came up to cradle me. Burying my face in her neck, I pounded into her like I hadn't just spent the whole night inside her.

The tight grip of her pussy around my cock had me gritting my teeth against the onslaught of emotions raging through my chest.

"How fucking long?" I threw the question out there as it burned through my mind. Her hands clutched at my ass, pulling me harder into her heat.

I wanted to fuck her all day and never stop, wanted to stay locked inside her until we were both too tired and too spent to draw our next breath.

I found her mouth with mine and ravaged it, biting into her lip as lust threatened to consume me from the inside out. "Never this fucking good." I took her ass in my hands, forcing our bodies closer together.

I seemed to be trying to draw her into me. To mold us together or some fuck, but I couldn't stop myself. I'd lost all control. All that mattered was this moment and the woman beneath me. The woman I was fucking so hard the bed shook and banged into the wall over and over again.

I didn't care as long as she was right there with me and her wild cries coupled with her fingernails digging into my ass told me that she was.
