Belonging to Him Read Online Free

she said.
    Simon ran both of his hands down her stomach. He caressed her flesh and then moved down to palm her mound. One of his fingers slid through her slit, teasing her clit.
    “You’re mine, Hope.”
    “I know.”
    “Then be my wife.”
    She shook her head. “No.”
    He sighed, resting his chin on top of her head. “Why do you keep denying me?”
    She stared out in front of her. Should she be honest with him? They’d always had honesty between them. Honesty had been the first point they’d agreed on when starting their relationship. He was her master and she should tell him the truth.
    “Tell me, Hope.”
    Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and then spoke. “The moment I give in to you, you’ll grow bored and move on.”
    Hope felt him freeze behind her.
    “What?”
    She gasped at the tone of his voice. In the last year she had never heard him angry and in that moment she knew he was blisteringly angry with her.
    He moved his hands to her shoulders and spun her around to look at him. His eyes darkened with his anger. Hope didn’t like the look on his face and tried to pull away.
    “I would never hurt you,” he said.
    “I know.” She stopped pulling away from him and waited for what he had to say. Simon loosened his hold on her shoulders and stroked her cheek. Hope turned and kissed his palm.
    “Do you really think I’d tire of you?” he asked. He moved his other hand up to cup her free cheek. Simon stared down into her eyes.
    “Why would I be any different from your other women?” She knew he hadn’t been a saint. His reputation preceded him. Hope did know she was the first woman to last a full year with him.
    “You really have no idea how much you mean to me, do you?” he asked. He moved her back towards the table. She stepped back until her ass hit the edge. There was no chair in the way. He bent in front of her, wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her onto the flat surface. He settled between her thighs. She felt the cool surface on her sore bottom.
    Simon slammed his lips down on hers, plunging his tongue inside. The sudden onslaught of his lips shocked and delighted her. He was always so reserved and held back. There were times Hope thought he wasn’t affected by her presence. Right at this moment she knew he was. His hands held her a little too hard and his mouth was so fierce that their teeth meshed together.
    She moved her fingers up his front, but he caught her hands with his and locked their hands at her sides. Hope whimpered as he moved from her lips down to her neck.
    “You drive me crazy with need,” he said, sucking on the tender flesh of her neck.
    She knew she should stop him. If he continued to suck on her neck she’d be marked and that would be hard to explain at work. No one knew about them. They were a secret.
    A sharp jolt went through her chest at her thoughts. Was the fact their relationship was a secret bothering her more than she’d thought?
    She’d never had a problem with their relationship being a secret. She liked having him all to herself and when he arrived at functions alone, she knew it was because of her.
    You want more.
    “I’ve never been more affected by a woman than when I’m with you.”
    Hope listened to his words. He left her neck and she knew she’d have a love bite in its place.
    He ran his thumb over the spot. “Everyone will know who you belong to.”
    “You didn’t want others to know about us,” she said.
    Simon shook his head. “ You didn’t want others to know about us. I’ve wanted to shout it from the rooftops. They know about us at the club, Hope. You’re mine and have always been mine, ever since you spilt coffee over in my office.”
    She closed her eyes, unable to believe his words.
    He pressed on her chest until she lay back on the table. “You’re mine, Hope. Be my wife.”
    She opened her lips to refuse and closed them. The words failed her, but she couldn’t give herself to him either. Tears sprang to her
