She bit her lip hard trying to fight the moan that wanted to tear from her throat as his fingers slowly stretched her. He explored inside her as his other finger rubbed at her clit. Her hips bucked when his fingers pressed upward until he found the area inside her that made a moan tear from her lips.

She was going to come. Her inner muscles squeezed his moving fingers. He jerked his finger away from her clit. His fingers kept moving inside her. It felt damn good as he massaged her G-spot but without the pressure on her clit her climax backed off.

"Damn you," she panted.

"Tell me you want me."

She shook her head no. "Never."

He growled. "Do you know how long I can make you burn for me, beautiful?"

"Damn you."

He growled. "I need you as much as you need me."

He eased his fingers out of her. Casey went limp on the bed. She was breathing heavily.

Her body ached and throbbed with need. Argernon stretched over her, his hands coming down on the bed at her sides. Their eyes locked when she looked up at him. They seemed to glow more than normal as passion flared in his eyes. They were breathtaking as he studied her.

"I need you."

"Go to hell."

"Wherever this place is that you speak has to be better than where I am now with wanting you and you denying me."

He pulled back and she relaxed. The bed moved. She ached and her clit throbbed but she'd won. He was giving up. She took deep breaths trying to calm her body so her sexual frustration could ease. A gasp escaped her lips when two large hands slid under her ass. She lifted her head to watch in shock as Argernon sat on the bed holding her ass inches from the mattress. He slid his legs under her bent ones and scooted closer. She had a bad feeling this wasn't over and that feeling made her moan with pleasure as he scooted even closer. His hard cock pressed against her slit.

His eyes met hers. He moved his hips so he was easing into her pussy. His thick cock pressed into her, pushing in slowly, making it feel like it was heaven and hell as her body stretched to accept the thick length of him. She was really wet so he pushed in easily, pressing his pelvis against her inner thighs so he could get as close to her as he could. He was buried balls deep in her pussy before he froze there. Their gazes locked.

He released her ass. Trailing his hands over her hips up to her stomach, he slid them lower to reach between her spread thighs. "I want to feel your release. I need you and you need me."

She gasped as his fingers played with her. A moan tore from Casey. He was rubbing her clit as he slowly started to move his cock inside her. With the sensations of him fucking her while he massaged her swollen nub it was too much. She gave up fighting it. It was a battle she didn't even want to win anymore.

A loud moan tore from her lips. Her hips bucked against him. The man knew how to make her respond. She wasn't going to last. Argernon growled her name when he started to come. His cock swelled, getting larger, as his fingers strummed her clit faster.

Casey screamed out as the climax hit her. Argernon roared. Her inner muscles slammed tight around him, quaking, as his semen shot deep inside her. Their bodies locked together where they were joined as they both rode the pleasure. Casey turned her head, panting, while her body started to come down from the blissful high.

"I love you, beautiful," Argernon almost whispered.

Hot tears burned behind her eyelids, which she kept shut. She wanted to say the words back. She just couldn't do it. He'd lied to her. He'd let her walk into the mess his life was without even a warning. Earlier that day a woman had been touching him sexually and two other women had been caressing his body. It didn't matter if he'd been unconscious and unable to agree to their hands being on his body. The image was still there in her head.

He slowly withdrew from her body. He touched her thighs, untying the belts from her knees with very gentle hands. She shut her thighs when she was free and rolled on her side away from him. Argernon was silent. He stretched out next to her on the bed. Long seconds passed.

Argernon suddenly grabbed her, yanking her into his arms tightly against his body.

Casey gasped, her eyes opening, as she turned her head to stare at the man who'd just pulled her firmly against him. He held her so close that their skin was mashed together. He was wrapping his larger body around hers tighter. Their gazes met.

"I love you, Casey. Whatever it takes I will make you know this is true."

She studied his eyes. He was a stubborn man. She saw him staring back at her. He wasn't going to give up and he wasn't going to let her go.

"What's your plan? Keep me tied to the bed and keep making me want you by doing this every damn time you want to have sex with me?"

He sighed. "If that's what it takes. You're my bound, Casey. I will not let you go. You belong to me. I belong to you. You own my thoughts and my emotions."

"It's just your body that is community property, right?"

He frowned. "You are trying to stir my anger and you cannot. I understand your term.

No. My body is not available for other females. My body belongs to you alone."

"I'm tired."

He nodded. "I know. I was told how you cared for me while I was unable to wake. Rever said he could see how strongly your emotions for me are. It means I know I have a chance of making you forgive me. I will, Casey. I will never stop until you are smiling at me again and you are willing in my arms. I miss you."

His words broke her heart just a bit more. She missed him too. An image flashed in her memory of her rushing into his arms that last day before the ship was attacked. He'd lifted her against his body and they'd kissed before they'd started to eat their meal. It had been so perfect that day until that alarm had called him away. She almost wished they could go back in time.
