Owning the Beast(12)



“Annabella, I—” Afraid of his rejection, I lunged towards Griffin and pressed my lips to his. He let out a soft growl and hauled me onto his lap, taking control of the kiss. He pushed his tongue deep inside my mouth, devouring me, clashing our teeth together and dominating the kiss. Pressing into his warmth, molding my body to his, he slowed down the kiss, as if he finally realized that I wouldn’t be pulling away. His tongue slowed down to a soft gentle exploration. I’m not sure which I liked more, his rough, dominating kiss or his gentle, possessive kiss. Pulling back, I dropped a kiss on the scar that catches the corner of his lip, trailing kisses all the way up to his ear.

“I think you’re beautiful, Griffin. You hide behind your anger and keep people away. Please let me in. We can make this work. We could be happy. If you let us be.”

No sooner had the words left my mouth did I feel Griffin pick me up and carry me out of the gazebo. Startled, I let out a squeal of shock, immediately wrapping my arms and legs around him tightly. I probably resembled a monkey right now. He laughed lightly and lowered his lips over mine once again. Lost in his lips and his taste, I felt him lowering me and soon enough, my back touched the grass. Laying me down, Griffin maneuvered himself between my legs all the while keeping our lips locked. Pulling back to catch his breath, he looked down at me.

“Stay, Bella. Please.” His voice husky, filled with emotion. “I don’t want to be angry anymore. I want to heal and move on. Will you stay here and teach me? Please don’t go back to the agency. I’ll make this right. I’m so sorry for the way I’d been acting. You deserve better. You deserve everything. Please, let me give you everything.”

I felt Griffin steal a piece of my heart as the words left his mouth. We both had some healing to do. While they might be different, we could still do it together. In response, I tilted my head towards him, offering him my lips once more. With a groan, Griffin lowered his head and accepted the kiss. For the first time since arriving at Creston Falls, all of my fears disappeared.

“Angel,” Griffin breathed out, nipping my ear. His stubble tickled the side of my face.

“Mmm, Griffin. Please,” I moaned, wanting him to kiss me more, anywhere, everywhere. I needed his touch. I lifted my hips, trying to get some friction. Sliding his hand between us, he stroked my thigh before moving under my dress, cupping my mound.

“I see you were lying about not wearing panties earlier. Don’t tease me, Beauty. I’ll spank that sinful ass of yours the next time.” He continued to stroke my * over my panties and my hips began to rock slightly against his fingers.

“Are you sore, Angel?” He nibbled on my bottom lip as he yanked my panties to the side, dipping a finger inside. “I don’t want to hurt you. I never want to hurt you again.”

I was tender but it felt so good having him inside me once again. Arching into his touch, I feel myself growing wetter as his thumb rubbed my clit. “More,” I managed to gasp out as he added a second finger.

“God, you’re so f*cking wet. I barely even touched you. Is all this cream for me?”

Thrusting his fingers harder into me, he rubbed my clit a little faster.

“Do you like what I’m doing, Angel? Do you want more? Do you want me to slide my big, hard cock inside you and give us what we both want? Fuck my fingers, Bella. Show me how much you want me to f*ck that pretty little * of yours. Show me how much you want me to slide my big fat cock inside you. “ He growled, raking his teeth across my neck. I didn’t think he meant to pose them as questions but I doubt I could answer him if I even tried.

His words were killing me. Who knew words could set your body on fire like this. “What are you doing to me? Oh god. I… I just … please, Griffin. Please…” With his other hand, Griffin tugged hard at the top of my dress causing my breasts to spill out. My nipples harden instantly under his hungry gaze. Dipping his head, he licked and placed kisses all around my left breast before sucking my nipple into his mouth fully. Each tug, nip and lick shot straight to my clit and I felt my orgasm slowly building. I knew this one was going to blow last night’s out of the water.

“Not yet, Angel. This time I want you cumming around my cock. I want to feel your * milking my cum out of me.” He rumbled, removing his hand from between my legs.

“Just hurry, please. Griffin, I need you.” My words seemed to set him in motion. He leaned up, unbuckling his belt and freeing his cock. “Oh god!” Even with our bodies no longer touching, I couldn’t stop myself from arching up towards him, needing to feel his weight back on top of me. I needed something to ease the throbbing between my legs. I was so close.

Griffin’s breathing seemed to turn uneven and rapid. Grabbing his cock, he roughly stroked it up and down, sliding his thumb over the tip and smearing precum all over as he stared ravenously at me spread out deliciously before him.

“Angel, I know you aren’t on any birth control. You could already be pregnant after our night together, but you might not be. I have a condom if you want me to use it this time.”

“Why would you need that?” I asked, wondering why he would suggest it. We were to be married soon. We didn’t need condoms. He didn’t use one last night so why would he bother using one now.

Griffin gave me a long look, which seemed almost pained. “I don’t want to force you, Angel. It’s your choice if you want me to use one or not.”
