Engineering Her Surrender [Novum Energy 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) Read online

  Not a word was said, but the air was thick with an unspoken understanding between them. Ethan took a step forward, and Penny took a step back, their movements slow and dreamlike. Gently closing the door behind him, Ethan took another step, and another, pushing her further and further into the apartment until she couldn’t take any more steps, until her back was pressed up against the living room wall. He came up close in front of her, positioning his body a hair’s breadth away from hers, but careful not to touch her.

  She tilted her head back up against the wall and looked at him mutely, her slow, shaky breaths the only sound that met his ears. He drew his gaze over her face, lingering on her wet eyes and her quivering bottom lip. She swallowed and parted her mouth, drawing in a deep, unsteady breath.

  “Penny,” he said softly, his voice a faint whisper. “Roll up your right sleeve.”

  But she didn’t move. She stood frozen, staring up at him silently, looking lost and unsure.

  Ethan closed the distance between them, pressing himself into her body and delicately placing his hand on her lower back.

  “Penny,” he said again, still in that soft, gentle voice.

  He lightly ran his fingertips over her jaw when he heard a tiny sob escape from her throat. And then he reached his hands down to the hemline of her shirt and slowly pulled it up her tummy, waiting for her to lift up her arms and then drawing the shirt over her head and letting it drop to the floor.

  Ethan looked down at her right arm, reaching up to trace his fingers over the slender bracelet he found midway between her elbow and shoulder.

  “You’re still wearing it,” he whispered as he returned his eyes to hers. “You’ve worn it all this time, haven’t you?”

  Still, Penny said nothing. She looked fearfully up at him, the tears building up in her eyes until they started spilling in big drops down her cheeks.

  “Honey,” Ethan said as he brought his hands up to her face and wiped the tears away with his thumbs. “It’s okay now. It’s all right.”

  She let out a sob, and Ethan pressed her tightly against his chest, stroking her hair and then settling his hand around the back of her neck.

  “Hush now, Penny,” he said as her body began shaking with the force of her sobs. “I’ve got you.”

  She clutched his shirt with her hands. “Ethan,” she choked out. “Oh God, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

  After sucking in a deep breath, she pulled herself away from his chest and looked up at him, the tears still streaming down her cheeks. And Ethan knew the instant he saw her face that for the first time, all her walls were down. She had peeled off layer after layer of fear and insecurity, and now she was fully exposed before him. Vulnerable. Naked. Trusting.

  “You were right,” she said shakily. “You were right all along. I’m so sorry for what I did.”

  “It’s okay, honey. It’s over now. It’s done. You’re going to forget about moving to this other job you’ve found. You’re going to tell Nick that you’re staying with Novum and will be taking a leave of absence until you’ve finished treatment. Then you’re moving out of this apartment and moving in with me. And then we’re going to get you better. Is that understood?”

  “Yes,” she answered quietly. “It’s understood.”

  “That’s a good girl,” he said, watching her eyes flutter closed as he tightened his grip around the back of her neck. “Do you have the faintest idea how much I’ve missed you, Penny?”

  Penny nodded her head yes.

  “Oh? And how would that be?” Ethan asked, smiling at her tenderly.

  “Because,” she replied, slowly opening her eyes. “I’m guessing it’s similar to how much I’ve missed you.”

  “Is that so?” Penny nodded again. “Well it looks like my little smart-ass Penny still has an answer for everything.”

  She sniffled and flashed him a small smile, her eyes lighting up with a bit of her old mischief. “Uh-huh,” she answered.

  Taking a small step back, Ethan ran his hand lightly along the curve of her hip and looked down at her. She was naked from the waist up, her full breasts rising slightly with every breath. He swept his gaze over her small rosy nipples, smiling when he saw them pucker tightly before his eyes.

  “What’s this?” Ethan asked as he brushed his fingers along the underside of her breast. “Your nipples are tight little buds. Do you need me to touch them, Penny?”

  Penny let out a moan, biting down on her lip as a shiver worked its way up her spine. “Y-yes,” she finally let out. “Yes, please, I need it.”

  Ethan flexed his jaw, his cock swelling in his jeans. He reached down to his waist and slowly took off his belt, bunching it in his hands and then stepping to the side.

  “Arms behind your back, Penny,” he said, his voice a gravelly whisper.

  She quickly complied, leaning against the wall with her hands tucked behind her back and her head turned to the side, eyes squeezed shut and chest heaving.

  “Tell me, Penny,” he said as he grazed her nipples with the leather. “If I give it to you, will you fully submit to me?”

  Penny groaned and pushed her breasts harder against the belt. “I will,” Penny breathed. “I promise. Please, punish me.”

  “I should punish you,” Ethan whispered as he rubbed the rough leather harder against her nipples. “You’ve been bad. And do you remember what I told you would happen if you’ve been bad?”

  Penny whimpered. “You…you said I’d be disciplined.”

  Ethan tightened his grip on the belt, a dark smile playing on his lips. He drew his hand back and brought the belt down hard on her breasts, the ache in his groin deepening as he heard her let out a throaty scream.

  He pulled his hand back again and smacked her breasts with the belt even harder, targeting the soft, sensitive flesh at the center. Her nipples tightened even further, the swollen, red buds straining for his attention.

  He paused, rubbing the belt around the outside of her breasts and pushing it in between them, letting her recover, lulling her into a false state of security. And then in a split second, he jerked the belt away from her body and snapped it forcefully against her nipples. Penny screamed. He smacked her again and again, his pace ruthless, bringing the belt down on her breasts with brutal force each time. She had brought this upon herself, and he wouldn’t let her go unpunished. He flogged her relentlessly, watching with burning desire as the reddish tinge at her nipples spread outward until the entire surface of her breasts was red hot.

  Sucking in a deep, ragged breath, he stilled his hand. Penny let out a soft moan, her voice hoarse from screaming. Her face was wet with tears, her bottom lip red and swollen from where she had bit down. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, her pupils dilated from the intensity of her punishment. She was ready for more.

  Ethan’s cock was throbbing. He lightly brushed his fingertips across the side of her breast, finding the flesh hot to the touch. She squirmed beneath him, her breath catching in her throat, and her desperation made Ethan’s arousal course even more furiously through his veins.

  “Kneel on the floor, Penny,” Ethan gritted out.

  She slowly lowered herself to the ground, her little nostrils puffing out nervously.

  “Unbutton my jeans,” he said, watching as she reached out her slender, trembling hands and completed her task. “Now pull them down to the floor.”

  She slid her fingers beneath the waist of his jeans and boxers, pulling them down his legs until his cock bobbed free.

  He was very erect. His long, thick cock was jutting out stiffly before him, the satiny skin stretched taut over the steely shaft. And Penny’s eyes lingered on his groin, her desire showing clearly on her face. She swallowed, and he knew without a doubt that she wanted it. Badly.

  “Kiss my cock,” he commanded, his voice low and rough.

  A soft whimper escaped from her throat as she crawled closer to his legs and positioned her face against his groin. She inhaled his deep, musky scent before rubbin
g her nose and lips on the base of his cock and delivering a small kiss to his shaft.

  “Good girl,” Ethan praised as he tangled his hand in her hair and tilted her head back so she would look up at him. “Now I want you to rub your face on my cock, Penny. Your face and your breasts. I want them marked.”

  She looked up at him hesitantly, a little whine escaping from her throat, before running her lips up his cock and tentatively grazing her cheek along his length. Growing bolder, she grabbed his cock in her hands and rubbed it across her breasts, gasping with pleasure as she pressed the head against her straining nipples. Ethan tensed as hot lust surged through his core, and when he looked down and saw the wet trail of his pre-cum smeared on her cheeks and across her tits, the pressure in his groin only worsened.

  “Such an obedient girl. Now lick the rest of the pre-cum off the head of my cock. Lick it clean.”

  Penny nodded in compliance. She fisted his shaft in her hand and pulled it toward her face before sweeping the flat of her tongue across the smooth, mushroomed head. Moaning eagerly, she licked it again and again, her slow, seductive finesse quickly giving way to a passion-filled frenzy. She was insatiable, her licks becoming more and more frantic, until she slipped the head of his cock between her lips and sucked it into her mouth. Ethan’s eyes flew open.

  He jerked out his arm and captured her chin in his hand, forcing her face away from his shaft. “Did I give you permission to put my cock in your mouth?” he said with a growl. Penny only stared up at him with wide eyes. “Did I give you permission?” She finally gave him a small shake of her head, a look of mild apprehension written on her face. “Then why did you put it in your mouth, Penny?”

  “Because…it tasted so good, and I wanted it so bad,” she said breathlessly.

  Ethan hauled her up to a standing position and stepped back from her. “We don’t always get what we want,” he said as he ripped her pants down to the floor, leaving her completely naked. “Now get inside the bedroom, lie down on the bed, and spread your legs to the corners.”

  Penny nervously tiptoed into the bedroom on wobbly legs and positioned herself as Ethan had instructed. He walked to the foot of the bed and looked down at her, his groin pulsing with arousal at the sight of her all spread out for his pleasure.

  She was breathing hard, and he caught sight of her limbs shaking occasionally with what he figured must be a potent dose of anticipation. With her legs spread-eagled, there was no hiding her soaking wet cunt. Ethan caught sight of her slick folds in an instant, and he knew that she must be aching for him to thrust his big cock all the way inside her pussy. And with all the delicious cream spilling out of her sheath, he knew that his dick would slide into her tight hole without the least bit of resistance.

  “Put your arms above your head. Wrists together,” he said as he continued staring down at her.

  Penny did as he asked, and Ethan nearly groaned aloud at the sight of her lying in perfect submission. His inner dom was agitated, restless to fuck her in a way that would truly demonstrate his ownership of her. She was his. Her body was his. And he would do whatever he wanted with her.

  With a dark, predatory look on his face, Ethan moved to the head of the bed and bound her arms with his belt, latching it tightly around her wrists. “You will keep your legs spread, do you understand me, Penny? You will keep them spread while I fuck you, and after I’m done fucking you, until I tell you you can close them.”

  “Yes,” Penny answered shakily. “I understand.”

  Ethan lay down on the bed and covered Penny’s body with his, his movements slow and controlled. He was leaning up on his elbows, and he shifted his hips to position his cock in between her thighs. The head of his cock was just grazing her pussy, and he could feel her hot juices coating him. She squirmed slightly beneath him, her eyes squeezed tightly shut, her breaths coming out in needy whimpers.

  “Your greedy little cunt wants it bad, doesn’t it?” he whispered, pressing his mouth close against her ear.

  “Please, Ethan,” she said on a moan. “I need you to fuck me.”

  “Tell me how you want me to fuck you, Penny.”

  She let out a frustrated cry. “However you want. Do whatever you want with me.”

  “And why is that?”

  “Because,” she wailed desperately, “you own me.”

  Ethan groaned. He couldn’t wait any longer. Gritting his teeth, he thrust his hips forward, and in one swift movement, his cock tore through her slick opening and slid all the way to the mouth of her womb.

  Penny screamed—a loud, hoarse cry that was raw with passion and vulnerability. She arched her back and whipped her legs around him, holding him tight, drawing him deeper inside.

  When she tensed up and froze, Ethan knew that she had realized her mistake. She slowly lowered her legs back to their proper position, her hips jerking involuntarily against his groin, urging him to move, begging him for a wild mating.

  Christ, she was tight. Her walls were clutching his shaft, sucking him in greedily, and as much as he wanted to stay inside her forever, she had disobeyed him and needed to be corrected. He leaned up off her body, resting his weight on his hands and looking down in between them to watch his length slide out of her tight hole as he withdrew from her pussy. He pulled all the way out, the muscles in his body tensing as her walls gripped the head of his cock in protest. And then he slammed back inside with brutal force, savoring the sound of her guttural scream.

  This time Ethan didn’t let himself rest inside her. He pulled his cock out instantly, tearing himself away from her body and stepping off of the bed.

  “Ethan, please,” Penny cried, twisting her head back and forth on the bed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to move my legs. I want it back inside. Please, put it back inside. I’ll do better this time.”

  Ethan grabbed her legs and dragged her to the edge of the bed “Put what back inside?” he asked as he slid the tip of his index finger inside her cunt. He kept his finger still, refusing to give her more length as she writhed on the bed.

  “Your cock. I want your cock back inside,” she pleaded desperately.

  “But you were bad when I gave you my cock,” he said darkly as he began slowly thrusting his finger in and out of her pussy, still only giving her the tip.

  “Oh God,” she cried out. “I can’t take it. Ethan, I can’t…”

  She was sobbing, desperate for relief. He pulled the belt off her wrists, heaved her off the bed and forced her back against the wall, propping his arm underneath her ass and lifting her up until she wrapped her legs around his waist. And then with one powerful thrust of his pelvis, he drove his cock back inside her.

  She gasped, burying her head in his shoulder and digging her fingernails in his back. He rolled his hips and thrust into her again and again, pumping his thick cock in and out of her pussy. He was slamming into her, going as deep as he could go, losing himself in the tight grip of her sheath.

  The pressure in his groin was unbearable, spreading outward like liquid fire throughout his lower belly. He could feel his cock get even more swollen and rigid, and knew that he was stretching her walls even further, testing her limits, tempering her pleasure with a delicious dose of pain.

  His balls drew up tight against his body, and he knew that he was close. Driving himself into her with even more urgency, he descended his mouth on hers, forcing her lips apart with his tongue and plunging inside.

  Penny was moaning frantically, her grip on his shoulders tightening, and when she tore her mouth away from his and bit down on his neck, he knew that she was almost there. Her cunt was gushing with her juices, coating his cock and dripping down his thighs. She was tensing up in his arms, her muscles jerking with her approaching climax, her pleasure sharp as she came close to falling off the edge.

  She screamed her release, grinding her hips hard against his as her vaginal muscles clamped down on his dick. Her whole body shuddered as the intense waves of her orgasm tore through her body, and Ethan cou
ldn’t help but let out a snarl when he felt her pussy convulse around his cock, squeezing down in a rhythmic dance that left him wild with pleasure.

  He couldn’t hold off any longer. He swiftly lowered her to the floor and fisted his hand in her hair, tilting her head upward and forcing his cock all the way down her throat as he roared her release.

  “Drink it all,” he said, his voice a deep growl. “Don’t waste any of my cum.”

  He thrust slightly down her throat with each jet of his cum, looking down at her as she swallowed rapidly to keep up. She was drinking it eagerly, moaning softly around his cock as he poured his release into her mouth.

  “That’s my girl,” he said as he shot the last of his cum down her throat. “Feels good, doesn’t it?”

  Moaning in agreement, she sucked down the final spurt of his release and then flicked her eyes up to his face for permission to move. He gently withdrew his cock and smiled as she sat staring up at him, her cheeks patterned with a bright pink flush and her eyes soft and heavy-lidded with spent pleasure. He bent down and swept his thumb across her lip, wiping the remnants of his cum off of her mouth and letting her lick his finger clean.

  “My Penny,” he said tenderly. “You are mine. Now. Always.”

  Chapter 14

  Penny shifted her body restlessly as she tried to find a comfortable position on the couch, but after a few minutes of struggling, she simply lay on her back and sighed. Every new position just made her ache somewhere else, so she supposed she might as well give up and be uncomfortable. She groaned, grabbing another pillow to prop under her head and turning to stare at the TV.

  Goddamn it, she felt terrible. And it wasn’t like she hadn’t expected these side effects—everyone knows that going through chemo is like being dragged through the mud, after all. She’d been fully prepared for the nausea and fatigue and liked to think that she was handling them rather well. But the weakness was something she was entirely fed up with. She could barely stand up without support, and for a person who once cherished her independence, having to rely on somebody else for every little thing was nothing less than infuriating.
