She let out a long, contented sigh, basking in the pleasure offered by her dream. The hands spreading her thighs. The hot, wet heat licking between her legs. The ecstasy building there. “Oh fuck, kitten,” a voice moaned, gravelly with sleep. Her eyes ’ew open, but the pleasure didnWt stop. She slid a hand down her body, delving it into LarrenWs hair as he decorated her thighs with kisses. Ficking his lips, Larren lifted his head. “?inally awakeq” Kate let out an unhappy grumble and shoved his head back down. He snorted out a laugh into her sensitive skin, eliciting one of her own. “That tickles,” she giggled, trying to sGuirm away. “Serves you right.” He yanked her back, spreading her to his view. “Iod, AWll never get tired of this.” He traced a delicate circle around her clit. “Of seeing every inch of you on show. Cll for me.” She moaned in relief when he began to lap at her once again. Ct her lowest point after the birth, when her postnatal depression was beginning to bite, sheWd been convinced that Larren would never want her again, that her body was ruined. Those black feelings had crept in, hissing that Fucie and Larren would be better off without her. Cnd then Larren found her crying in the shower one day, and so begun the road to recovery. 2 STEVIE SPARKS “xome for me, kitten,” he growled from the apej of her thighs. “A want you to soak my face again.” How had she ever doubted, even for a secondq The orgasm heWd been promising danced Must out of her reach, taunting her. “—ake me,” she cried. He slid a solitary Pnger inside her, but Kate only grew more frustrated when it disappeared Must as Guickly. Her disappointment vanished a moment later. C moan escaped as Larren curled two Pngers inside her!whilst another massaged the puckered skin below. “Blease,” she begged, lost in how forbidden and dirty and wonderful the sensation was, Must as she had been the Prst time Larren had touched her there. “—ore, more, morez” Her climaj crashed over her like a tidal wave, leaving her desperately gasping for air amidst her cries and clinging to Larren in an attempt to stay a’oat. Fegs shaking, sweat beading, moans erupting, and all the while he gave her ejactly what she needed. More. Lhen Kate Pnally pushed his head away, Larren pounced. His body dwarfed hers, crowding her against the mattress and effortlessly ’ipping her onto her stomach, the muscles in her legs still shaking. Larren tugged a pillow towards her. “Scream into this,” he whispered into her ear, before biting her on the shoulder hard. Dy the time the pain hit, his teeth were already gone, and he was shoving her legs apart. Kate knew what was coming nejt. She moaned into the pillow at the feel of his cock entering her dripping wet pussy. The sounds Plling the room were obscene. Slick claps, harsh grunts, garbled! C powerful slap Moined the dirty cacophony, and her toes curled Must as she released the Prst scream into the pillow, arousal spreading through her like a shockwave. “Oh god.” LarrenWs rough Pst sei;ed her hair. “A want you bruised at this fucking party today. Yo you hear meq” “Spank me again,” she croaked, her voice hoarse from her scream. “Blease.” BONUS SCENE: HEART OF STONE 3 The second slap was shockingly hard, and Kate wailed as she spasmed around his cock. He drove into her mercilessly, and Must when she thought she could take no more she felt his Pngers pressing against her back entrance. Overwhelmed, Kate held onto the bedframe like her life depended on it. LarrenWs voice was hot and hoarse in her ear. “A thought this would end, this madness. —y endless need for you, but it doesnWt.” He leant over her, his front to her back, resting his weight on his elbow. Cgain, his teeth sunk into her skinR a punishment, but his cock never stilled, pounding into her. “xan you feel what you do to meq” C garbled sob came out of her, her best attempt at a yes. She could feel nothing but his punishing, wonderful thrusts. “Oh, thatWs a good girl.” He pushed himself up suddenly, before another slap came crashing down onto her already sensitive skin. “Yo you deserve thisq” “*es,” she screamed into the pillow, feeling the Pngers of his other hand deep inside her back entrance, her toes curling once again. “Oh god, donWt stop. AWm going to come.” “There we go, come for me. xome for me.” He spanked her again, right where her skin burned the hottest. The scream that left her was a crackled, ragged mess, her back trying to arch at the pleasure welling up inside. At was too strong, far too strong, but she didnWt have the strength to Pght it. At tossed her around like a rag doll, until she was only dimly aware of Larren clutching her close as he groaned, shouting his pleasure into her neck. ?inally, he collapsed, falling onto the mattress in a da;ed heap nejt to her. “*ouWre so perfect,” he whispered. Half asleep already, Kate opened her mouth to speak, but static had them both free;ing. The baby monitor. Eeaching over to the bedside table, she nearly knocked over the framed scan photo from that very Prst ultrasound all those months ago. On the baby monitor screen, Fucie was beginning to stir. “A think sheWs waking up.” “AWll have a Guick shower before she does,” Larren replied, sitting up and shoving one of his shower prosthetics on. “Io back to sleep, kitten. AWll get her up and come back with breakfast in a bit.” She held out a la;y hand towards him. “A love you.” 4 STEVIE SPARKS “A love you,” he said, kissing it. … Lhen Kate descended the stairs, her new dress clinging to her like a red, silky waterfall, she sighed. Larren stood in the kitchen, suited to perfection. Ujcept when he caught sight of her, he looked‘ oddly dismayed. Fucie, on the other hand, lit up, sGuealing and gurgling with delight in her highchair. nlike the two of them, Fucie was dressed in a loose top and leggings. Clthough theyWd bought the sweetest little party dress for her, Fucie might as well be comfortable for the long drive down to Hastings. Kate scooped up her daughter, unable to keep a smile off her face. “Iood morning, Fucie loo. Yid you have a good sleepq” FucieWs answer was a happy shout. C Guick look at the ’oor revealed a signiPcant portion of scrambled egg scattered around. “As Feo not here to clean up after you today, baby girlq” “HeWll have wasted away by the time we get to Hastings,” Larren muttered, stroking FucieWs hair. “As this how youWre going to the party, kittenq” “Lhyq” she asked, placing Fucie back in her highchair. “Uat, Fucie loo,” she smiled, signing the eatW symbol before returning to Larren. “Yo you not like itq” He tugged her away slightly, his eyes prowling over her possessively. “A like it. A like it far too much.” “Oh,” she realised, suddenly understanding. “As this a bad time to mention AWm not wearing underwearq” Larren captured her lips, biting down on the bottom one until she gave a whimper. “Yo you want to be pregnant before sunsetq Decause the way this is going youWre going to end up bent over with your dress hiked up around your waist.” Kate licked her lip. “Oh no,” she smirked, making no effort whatsoever to sound convincing. “How terrible.” “Af we ruin Clison and UuanWs engagement party, Sarah will kill us both.” “—mm,” she said idly, cupping LarrenWs cock through his trousers, ensuring that she blocked FucieWs view. “Cs the chief bridesmaid, it is her responsibility to wrangle!” Kate sGuee;ed slightly, eliciting a grunt “!misbehaving partygoers.” “Las my kitten not satisPed earl!” He stopped suddenly, looking over KateWs head. “Cre you all right, baby girlq” BONUS SCENE: HEART OF STONE 5 Kate turned to Pnd Fucie signing sleep. Sharing an ejcited glance with Larren, Kate watched as he undid her bib and brought her in for a cuddle. “Eight on time,” she whispered, glancing at the clock on the wall. “As all the stuff in the car stillq” Larren took KateWs hand, Guickly brushing his lips over her knuckles. “Of course.” She opened her mouth to speak, but laughed when Fucie held her hand up too, clearly ejpecting to also receive a kiss on the knuckles. Lith a burst of rich laughter, Larren obliged, holding their daughterWs tiny hand with Must a couple of Pngers and placing a kiss on it. “—y girls,” he whispered, and Kate nearly lost herself in his eyes. Fucie smiled sleepily, laying her head against her daddyWs neck. Larren held out his hand. “Eeadyq” “Lith the two of youq” Kate took it, her chest Pt to burst with happiness. “Clways.” Further Reading Do you fancy something a little bit more historical, but just as kinky?
