Engineering Her Surrender [Novum Energy 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) Page 7

  Ethan smiled. “I’m glad you think so. I want you to wear it always, Penny. It’s my mark on you. Every day that you wear it is an acknowledgment that you belong to me.”

  Penny swallowed. She could feel her walls spring up around her in full self-defense mode, and as much as she hated herself for it, she wasn’t able to take them back down.

  She squeezed her eyes shut. She had been doing so well with Ethan, making more and more progress every single day. She had been opening up to him, letting herself experience new emotions, and even spending the weekends at his house. But now this bracelet was sending her straight back to where she had started.

  The bracelet felt so…final. It terrified her to her core, made her feel like he was branding her, like there would no longer be any way out. And although she felt like a terrible person for having these thoughts, she simply couldn’t get a handle on them.

  But why did she automatically think that her feelings were invalid? She could be right about this. Maybe her insecurities were playing a positive role in this instance. After all, they had only been seeing each other for a couple of months, and maybe her reaction was just a prudent fear of moving too fast.

  Penny stood up from the couch, fiddling nervously with the bracelet on her arm. “I…I don’t know, Ethan. Maybe this is too quick.”

  She paced around the room, continuing to tug at the bracelet with her hand. She was starting to get lost in her head. Her internal dialogue was devolving into a rambling, paranoid mess, and the eye of the storm was fear.

  “Penny,” Ethan called out. “Stop. You’re going to give yourself an anxiety attack.”

  But Penny couldn’t stop. She couldn’t stop her heart from pounding painfully in her chest, couldn’t stop her mind from racing through all the fears that she had amassed since childhood. Never let anyone in. Never compromise your independence. Never give your power away. Never be vulnerable.

  Ethan got up from the couch and backed Penny into the wall, standing directly in front of her so that she wouldn’t be able to escape and continue her frantic pacing.

  “Penny.” His voice was firm. “Look at me.”

  She didn’t want to. She wanted to continue listening to that voice in her head that was telling her to pull away from him. After all, that voice had always been there for her. It had never let her down. It had been her sole ally from childhood onward.

  Ethan reached out his hand and grabbed the back of her neck. Penny’s eyes drifted closed, the touch instantly calming her. Her breathing slowed, and her mind did, too. She loved the feeling of his hand around her neck. It always lulled her back to a place of reason and sanity, a place where she no longer felt like fighting. She blinked open her eyes and looked up at him.

  “You are mine, Penny. And that is why you will wear this bracelet.” He paused, the expression on his face softening. “I love you, did you know that? Did you know that I’ve loved you from the beginning?”

  Penny’s breath caught in her throat. He had finally uttered those three sacred, terrifying words that she knew he’d been itching to say for a long time now. I love you.

  She hadn’t thought he would tell her yet, hadn’t thought that he would be willing to risk pushing her away by making such a significant confession. She was stunned, to say the least, and yet she had to admit that a great deal of her surprise came from the fact that hearing him declare his love hadn’t been nearly as scary as she had thought it would be.

  She gave him a small smile. Nobody had ever told her they loved her before. And it filled her with so much joy to discover that hearing it didn’t make her feel insecure. Instead, it felt like the strongest security blanket she had ever had in her life. It made her feel cherished and protected. And she was shocked, because while she had always thought her personal defense system of walls and safeguards was perfectly unassailable, it never looked weaker than it did now.

  Penny let out a breath. For the first time in a long time, she no longer felt like running away.

  “Ethan, I…I think I love you, too.”

  * * * *

  Ethan felt his heart go soft as Penny clutched his shirt tightly in her hands and dug herself into his chest. He was so proud of her. She had come a long way.

  She stood up on her toes and buried her face into his neck. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.

  Sweeping his arm under her ass, he lifted her up against the wall until they were at eye level. “Oh, honey,” he said softly. “Don’t be sorry.”

  He bent his head and brushed his lips against her jaw, smiling as he felt her shiver against him. He needed her, needed to mate with her, needed to fuck her so deep that he’d become a permanent part of her.

  He carried her upstairs to the bedroom and laid her down gently on the bed. She held herself still for him as he stripped off her jeans, T-shirt, and panties, leaving her completely naked beneath his gaze.

  Ethan groaned. “Do you have any idea how hard you make me?”

  He kicked off his pants and boxers, fisting his swollen cock in his hand to show her his arousal.

  Penny moaned but remained still, lying on her back just as he had left her, her knees bent and her hands by her sides. He came on the bed and lay down in front of her pussy, nestling his broad shoulders in between her thighs.

  He brought his face close to her sex and breathed in her mouth-watering scent. “You smell so fucking sweet,” he rasped. “I can’t wait to lick up all your cream.”

  She whimpered as he gently spread her labia with his fingers. Her pussy was immaculate, all pink and delicate and glistening, and he couldn’t wait to taste it. Darting out his tongue, he lightly licked across her opening, smiling as she jerked in surprise and squeezed her thighs down on his shoulders.

  “Oh God,” she whispered.

  He snaked his hands under her ass, holding her still as he continued licking around her dripping orifice, lapping at the lips of her pussy with an insatiable appetite. She tasted just like honey, and he drank from her cunt like he’d never get enough.

  Penny was coming undone, bucking wildly on the bed as he wound up her pleasure higher and higher. She cried out in desperation when he sucked her plump clit into his mouth, and he tugged at the swollen little bud until she was shoving her sex hard against his face.

  Ethan released her clit from his lips, drawing his tongue down the length of her pussy before forcing it inside her quivering opening. Penny sobbed, every muscle in her body rigid with tight, hot pleasure.

  He thrust his tongue in and out of her cunt, savoring each drop of rich cream that dripped down into his mouth. Her inner walls were trembling, and he knew she was almost there. But he wouldn’t let her come. Not just yet.

  He pulled his face away from her sex and leaned over her, capturing her chin in his hand. “I want you to ride my cock, Penny. Would you like that?”

  Penny whimpered, her body coursing with pent-up need. “Yes,” she answered shakily. “I would like it.”

  He lay down on his back and reached his hands around her hips to lift her on top of him. She was sitting on her knees with one leg on either side of his pelvis, her hands resting on his broad chest, and the head of his cock was only inches away from her slick pussy.

  She was breathing rapidly, her eyes glued to his rock-hard erection, and after a moment she cautiously lowered her hips, stopping herself just as his cock was about to graze her folds. She moaned softly, biting down on her lip.

  Ethan smiled. He was giving her a lot of power, and she didn’t know what to do with it. He drew his eyes down to her cunt and saw that it was soaked, and when a drop of her wetness seeped out of her opening and onto the head of his shaft, he had to grit his teeth at the hot flood of desire that welled up deep in his groin.

  “You’re begging to be fucked, Penny. I can see it. Climb onto my cock. Now.”

  But Penny remained frozen, and when another drop of her wetness coated his shaft, Ethan’s patience evaporated. He dug his fingers into her hips and guided her down on his c
ock, groaning as he pressed against her wet opening. Jerking his hips upward, Ethan thrust the head of his cock into her tight sheath, but her inner muscles were so tense with desperation that he had to force her hips down hard in order to gain another inch inside her. He watched hungrily as she continued descending lower, taking more and more of his cock, the lips of her pussy clinging to his shaft.

  Penny let out a cry when Ethan pushed her down fully on his cock, her groin resting flush against his. “It’s so deep,” she choked out.

  He thrust his pelvis upward and forced himself even deeper inside, smiling darkly as he saw her squeeze her eyes shut at the intensity of it. “I want to see you grind your pussy on my cock,” he said. “Take your pleasure, Penny.”

  Penny hesitantly rolled her hips, gasping as his cock rubbed against her inner walls. She rolled her hips again, more forcefully this time, and cried out at as his cock stroked deep inside her channel once more.

  With a groan, Ethan grabbed hold of her waist and lifted her off his dick, rubbing the head of his shaft against her opening teasingly before slamming her all the way back down. Penny collapsed onto his chest and screamed.

  “Is it too deep?” he asked as he grabbed her ass in his hands and rocked her roughly down on his dick.

  “No,” Ellie said, gasping. “I want it all. I want the whole thing.”

  Her words inflamed his passion, and he slammed her down on his cock harder and faster until she was caught up in a frenzy of pleasure, sobbing into his neck at the sharp heat raging through her cunt.

  Ethan was spiralling deeper and deeper into a state of rabid desire. She was being so obedient, so perfectly yielding and compliant that he was restless for more. With a growl, he pulled her off of him and lay her down on her stomach, coming to cover her body with his. He brushed his lips across the back of her neck and her shoulder blades before leaning up and grabbing her buttocks firmly in his hands, spreading them apart and teasing the seam with his fingers. Her puckered little asshole was calling out to him, and his fingers itched to touch the delicate, crimson-hued flesh of her back entrance. He continued running his fingers in between her fleshy cheeks, watching Penny’s body grow tenser and tenser in alarm, and then he pressed his finger directly against her puckered hole.

  Penny cried out and tried to lift herself up on her arms, but Ethan took hold of the back of her neck in his hand and pressed her firmly against the bed.

  “No, Penny,” he said, his voice a low rumble. “You’re going to lie down and take it. Or you’re not going to come tonight.”

  She whimpered and stiffened her body in preparation for his touch, gripping the bed sheets tightly in her hands. Ethan rubbed her back hole in a circular motion, pressing harder and harder until the tip of his finger finally gained entrance.

  Penny gasped, burying her head into the mattress. But Ethan wouldn’t relent. He pushed his finger further and further inside until it was all the way in.

  “I think I want to fuck your ass,” he said as he withdrew his finger and pumped it back inside. “I want to claim this sweet little hole.”

  Penny jerked her ass back onto his finger when he slid it inside, a strangled moan tearing from her lips. “But…you’re so big. It’ll hurt,” she said nervously.

  “Only if you fight me. If you relax your muscles, it won’t hurt.”

  He pulled his finger out from her ass and pressed the head of his cock against her back hole, but her sphincter was clenched up in protest, and he knew that she was still resisting him.

  “Stop fighting me,” he said, his voice low. “Your ass is mine to fuck, Penny. If you keep resisting me, it’s going to hurt. And for your punishment, I will not be gentle.”

  She whimpered, shifting her body and expelling a large breath. Ethan forced his cock hard against her sphincter, and after a moment or two of effort, he finally pushed his way inside. And his shaft was so slick with her juices that once the tip of his cock pushed past her tight circle of muscle, the rest of the head slid easily inside. He held himself still and leaned his mouth close to her ear, her ass squeezing down on him like a fist.

  “Does that hurt, honey?” he said as he rocked his hips forward gently and pushed inside her another inch. “Or do you want more of my cock?”

  Penny moaned. “M-more,” she answered.

  “That’s a good girl,” he whispered. “Keep letting me in, honey. Let me all the way in.”

  He continued pushing himself in deeper, the pressure in his groin tightening to an unbearable level as he watched his length slowly disappear inside her tight back hole. Her ass was sucking him in, clenching down on him so hard that he knew he wouldn’t last long.

  By the time he was fully seated within her, Penny was writhing on the bed, squeezing her thighs together and whipping her head from side to side. Ethan knew that the feeling of fullness was building up her pleasure higher than she was used to. It was overpowering her, and she was struggling to surrender to the incredible vortex of pleasure and pain that was tearing through her body.

  “How does my big cock feel inside your ass?” he rasped.

  Penny sobbed into the bed. “It feels hot. And tight.”

  Ethan dragged his cock halfway out of her ass and thrust it back inside. “You like it,” he gritted out. “Admit it, you dirty girl.”

  “Yes,” she answered, her voice a tortured cry. “I like it.”

  Ethan was desperate to claim her ass in a hard, fast fucking, and he was finding himself in command of less and less restraint. He started pumping his hips back and forth more powerfully, driving himself harder and harder into her tight ass and watching hungrily as her body jerked forward with the force of his thrusts.

  Penny was lost in pleasure, panting feverishly and crying out each time he drove himself into her. “Ethan,” she said breathlessly, “Ethan I can’t…it’s too much. I can’t…”

  He chuckled. “Oh yes you can. You’re gonna take it until I tell you you don’t have to anymore.”

  She was close, he could tell. Close to a staggeringly powerful, all-encompassing surge of pleasure that would leave her more sated than she had ever been before in her life. Her entire body was tense with anticipation, hanging on the edge of release. And he would give her the final push she needed.

  He reached down between them and pressed his finger against her clit. He rubbed it in fast, furious circles, giving her the rough treatment that she needed. And then he shoved two thick fingers inside her cunt.

  Penny sobbed as her orgasm rippled through her, her hips jerking with the force of her vaginal convulsions. Her limbs trembled and her eyes filled with tears as the sharp-edged euphoria of her climax burst through her lower belly and spread to every corner of her body.

  Ethan squeezed his eyes shut as the muscles in her ass spasmed around his cock. It was too much, and after another few barely contained thrusts, his own release was upon him.

  He drove himself all the way inside her ass and groaned as his cock pulsed with jet after jet of his cum. He poured it inside her, squeezing her buttocks in his hands as the muscles in her ass continued clenching down on him, milking his cock for every last drop of his release.

  His lungs heaving for air, he slowly lowered himself onto his elbows, his body still resting over Penny’s. He kept his cock in her ass, never wanting to take it out, and brushed his lips along the curve of her shoulder.

  “My sweet girl,” he said as he traced his fingers along her bracelet, “I don’t want you ever taking this off. And if I catch you without it, you’re going to have to wear a collar. Your choice, honey.”

  “Oh, Ethan,” she said, her voice light and dreamlike from the force of her climax. “Don’t be such a worrywart. I won’t take it off. I promise.”

  Chapter 9

  Penny poured some coffee into a mug in the office kitchen and started making her way over to Ethan’s office.

  It was late. Eleven o’clock to be precise, and from how things were looking, she was fairly certain they’d be stu
ck there till two in the morning.

  Something had gone wrong with their wind turbine project. The blades had been pitched improperly on three of their turbines, and all hell was breaking loose. It had been scary for her to hear, and although Ethan had assured her that these types of screw-ups happen all the time in construction, she still berated herself for not anticipating the problem and doing something to prevent it. She could have done more inspections or been stricter with the workers, and she couldn’t help but blame herself.

  As she approached Ethan’s office, she heard him speaking with someone on the phone. She leaned in the open doorway and gave him a little wave when he caught sight of her and smiled. He looked to be extremely exasperated, and Penny could tell from the way he was speaking that he was trying very hard to keep his tone calm and professional. And after hearing the person on the other end of the line, Penny knew why. The man was an absolute asshole.

  “When we hired Novum to build this wind farm for us, we thought we were hiring a leader in the field. Clearly not,” a voice barked through the speaker on Ethan’s phone.

  “Sir, Novum is the best renewable-energy-focused engineering company in the United States. These things happen, Gary. Mistakes happen. I know this is your company’s first time venturing into wind energy, and I’m guessing you’re a little nervous. But this can easily be fixed, I assure you.”

  “Are you really going to sit there and tell me to calm down? Who the fuck are you, Ethan? Some lowly field engineer? Do you have any idea how many millions of dollars are at stake with this project?”

  Ethan pressed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger, his patience clearly waning. “Sir, I am the mechanical superintendent, and I have been running this project alongside Nick Richardson and a few other of my colleagues. And yes, I fully understand how much money is at stake. But this issue can be resolved in one week at the most.”

  “Well if I had my say, you’d be fired in an instant. Why the hell am I not speaking to Nick? I want to talk to the person foremost in charge, right now. I’m not interested in dealing with your incompetence.”
