He spins me to face the steps before pulling my hair to the side and leaning closer to my neck.

“I hope you’re ready, Little Rabbit. It’s been too long, and we’re not stopping this time.”

Oh fuck!

CHAPTER 93

NOAH

The drive up here was torture for me as much as it was for her. Every time we passed a turn off on the road, I wanted to pull over and bury myself between her thighs. Her body was trembling and when I felt how soaked she was, it nearly pushed me over the edge. It’s been a long two and a half months, and I get I needed to heal, but goddamn, have I missed fucking this woman.

Every time we would start fooling around, the muscles in my body would flex, and pain would shoot out from my abdomen. Sometimes it would get so bad that I’d get instant migraines. So needless to say, it’s been nearly three months since we’ve been able to have sex.

Fucking stab wound.

As I lead her up the steps, I can see the way she’s holding the blindfold. I wasn’t lying when I said she was going to need it. I will never forget the memory of her in the front seat of my truck. Restrained, spread open, and completely at my mercy. Fucking herself on my knife handle as my blood stained our skin.

She not only accepted my darkness, but she has her own, and I can’t wait to explore more of it with her.

When we first got here, I had to run upstairs to get everything set up and drop off my black bag. It has everything in it that we will need for tonight. The room is glowing with fake candles because I wasn’t fucking risking open flames in this house other than the fireplace. There are rose petals on our new bed. I bought her favorite shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and bubble bath for after we’re done and need to clean up.

The bed was custom ordered with hooks on the headboard and footboard, so I brought new restraints for us in the bag. There are also a few new toys I bought for her. Plus, there’s one more thing that I’m hoping we can do tonight, but I’ll have to wait and see how this goes. I’m honestly nervous as fuck about that part.

When we get to the top of the steps, it opens up to our bedroom. I searched for homes for almost a month trying to find the right one. She loves the open concept aspect, and this one was perfect. The only rooms that aren’t open to the rest of the house are the two bathrooms, two closets, a large walk-in pantry, and the washer and dryer, which are built into a closet.

The bedroom is large. There’s a set of double doors off to the right that lead out onto the balcony that overlooks the backyard. The moonlight is spilling in through the sheer curtains, making the room glow with the low flickering light from the fake candles. I loved the small gasp she let out when she saw the room, letting me know she loved it.

The king-size bed is directly in front of us, and there’s a door to the left that leads to the master bathroom. I remove her jacket and let her go so she can explore our new room and see if she notices any of the details on the new bed.

She walks around running her fingers along the wooden support beams and along the banister. There isn’t a wall to close off our bedroom from the rest of the cabin, but the bed is far enough away from the staircase and banister that you can’t see it from the main floor.

“Can I open these?” she asks gesturing to the doors to the balcony.

“Of course.”

Her smile lights up the room, and it makes my heart beat just a little bit faster every single time. I am definitely head over heels obsessed and in love with this woman. Every time I look at her, it reminds me that I’m the luckiest man in the world. How many people get to say that they ended up with their childhood sweetheart?

“Holy shit,” she says as she walks out onto the balcony.

It overlooks our backyard and a large pond. There’s a floating path that leads to the a covered gazebo floating in the center. It was one of the coolest things I saw when looking at photos of this place, and I paid extra for the owner to leave it. It has a hammock and an outdoor couch to relax on as it gently sways in the water.

There’s a small fire pit out back with rock benches around it. There’s also a large back deck where we will be getting a new patio set and BBQ grill as soon as spring hits. I can’t wait to spend every weekend that we can up here with her. Maybe one day, when we retire, we can move here full-time.

There’s a small guest house out back as well and a fenced-in yard portion if we decide to get a dog. This place has it all. I wanted to get something that we could plan our future with. If we decide to ever have kids, I can always expand this place as well. No matter what she wants, we’ll do it.

“I love it here. It’s amazing.”

“I’m glad you love it. I was hoping you would.”

We relax in the silence until I feel her shiver slightly from the cold.

“Come on. Time for the rest of your surprise,” I tell her as I pull her back inside and shut the door.

The second the doors are shut behind us, I crush my lips to hers stealing every thought, worry, and breath she has. I want the rest of the world around us to fade until it’s just us two. Locked away in our own private bubble and this time, no one else knows where we are. I haven’t even told Jeremy about this place yet, so there’s absolutely no way anyone can interrupt us. She’s all mine.

I take my time walking her backward to the bed until her legs bump against the edge. It’s taller, the perfect height for certain angles I plan on us trying, so I lift her up onto the soft, black comforter.

“Would you stop lifting…”
