Viola woke suddenly and before she opened her eyes, she stretched her arm out to the side, expecting to feel Zyair lying next to her.
But she felt nothing; the bed beside her was empty.
Panic quickly built up inside her. Her mind was racing, and she couldn’t help but to jump to conclusions.
He left, she thought. Of course, he did, they always do.
Men never seemed to stick around in her life. Her dad left them when she was young, and she could never find a lover that cared enough to stay. There was clearly something wrong with her. If there wasn’t, she wouldn’t be experiencing this again.
She rolled over and picked up her phone. Nothing. Not a call, or even a message from him.
Unbelievable. Viola really thought it was going to be different this time. She knew she felt a connection with Zyair. The way he looked into her eyes and the things he said, made her feel like she could trust him with anything.
With a feeling of regret, she put down her phone, got out of bed and walked over to the ensuite bathroom. She turned on the shower and waited until the water ran hot. Normally this is when she would take off her clothes, but she was already naked from the night before.
Her fingers touched her lips as she remembered the way he kissed her, his lips pressed to hers and his tongue exploring her mouth. The way their mouths moved in synchronicity made it seem like they had kissed many times before. But that was not the case.
Although they had been talking online for a while, this was the first time they were meeting. What if she didn’t live up to his expectations?
She tried to push the negative thoughts aside as she snapped back to reality and hopped into the shower. The warm water felt good as it trickled down on her skin. She stayed in there for what felt like forever. It was soothing and she wasn’t ready to face the world. But alas, she must.
Viola stepped out of the shower and grabbed two towels. She dried her hair with the smaller one and strategically wrapped the other one around her body so it would stay up as she got ready.
Just as she went to grab the blow dryer for her hair, she heard a loud noise coming from the other room. She opened the door quickly and poked her head out.
Standing there in the small hotel room kitchen was Zyair. He had a frying pan in one hand and two eggs in the other. She could smell a fresh pot of coffee brewing and it made her smile. He didn’t notice her at first as she stood in the doorway of the bedroom, staring at the incredibly attractive man before her. Even in hoodie and sweatpants she could see how toned his body was. She was undressing him with her eyes when suddenly she could feel a heaviness in the pit of her stomach. She felt stupid for thinking the worst of him. Why was she like this? Did she really think that low of herself and of him?
Zyair spun around and a surprised look flashed across his face. Her porcelain skin and smattering of freckles across her cheeks, gave her features a delicate and ethereal quality. Her vibrant green eyes, framed by long lashes, held a glimmer of curiosity and kindness, reflecting the depth of her soul.
“Viola! I’m sorry, did I wake you?”
“No, I actually didn’t even hear you out here until I got out of the shower.” She replied.
“I didn’t realize you were awake! I went to the store to grab some groceries so I could surprise you with breakfast when you woke up. How do you like your eggs, by the way?”
“Scrambled, please.”
Zyair nodded and turned back around towards the stove to continue cooking. Viola walked over to the cupboard and grabbed two glasses.
“No, no, no. Go sit down. I’ve got this.” Zyair pleaded.
Viola complied and went to sit on an island chair so she could watch him while he prepared breakfast. There was something extremely sexy about a man cooking and she couldn’t stop staring. A grin formed across her face and Zyair noticed.
“What’s on your mind?”
“Oh, just thinking of all the things I would love to do to you in this kitchen.”
“Really?” Zyair asked, intrigued.
“Oh, yes. Do you want to know what those thoughts are?”
“Is that even a question?” Zyair laughed.
“Well first, I would love to walk over there and kiss you. Then, I’d kiss your neck and distract you from making breakfast just a little. Moving down your body, I would get on my knees in front of you and pull down your pants.”
Zyair’s eyes widened as the words came out of her mouth. His lips parted as he was about to say something, but he closed them immediately. He wanted her to continue.
“Then, I want to take your big dick in my mouth. I love feeling it get hard as I suck on it. I want to hear you moan as I take my time with you.”
Zyair stood still for a moment, staring at Viola, before realizing that he was cooking breakfast. He could start to smell burning on the stove and he snapped back to reality.
“OMG, our eggs are burning!”
Viola laughs and blushes, knowing that she distracted him in the best way possible.
“Hold that thought,” Zyair said flustered.
Zyair finished preparing breakfast and they sat down and enjoyed the meal together. Viola was extremely content and felt so much love in her heart. This man seemed to truly care about her, and she just had to let him and trust him.
After cleaning up from breakfast, Viola and Zyair decided to go for a drive to see the beautiful sights. Zyair had never been to that part of the world before and he was excited to experience it with her. They drove to the mountains and spent the entire day together.
On the way back to the hotel, Viola let Zyair drive. She was feeling tired from their big day and just wanted to be able to relax in the passenger seat.
As she sat beside Zyair, she realized how immaculate he looked when he was in control. He sat back comfortably in the chair while his big strong hand gripped the wheel. His eyes only ever left the road to glance over at Viola as she sat there quietly. They drove in silence for a while. And then almost as if he read her mind, Zyair reached over and grabbed Viola’s hand. She smiled and shifted her weight towards him.
“Are you tired, sweetheart?” Zyair asked.
She hadn’t realized she was daydreaming and staring out the window for at least 30 minutes.
“A little, but I am alright. I think it is just these windy roads, rocking me to sleep.”
Zyair grinned and nodded. They still had another hour’s drive to get back to the hotel and it was getting dark.
Viola took her hand out from under his and placed his hand on her thigh. She put her hand on top and held it there for a moment. He could feel her leg through the thin layer of her sundress.
Then before Zyair could even open his mouth, Viola was slipping his hand under her dress and towards her inner thighs. He could feel the warmth emanating from between her legs as she was sliding it closer and closer to her opening. He could feel his pants starting to get a little tighter, so he shifted slightly in his seat. Her legs felt so soft and warm, and that sundress hugged her curves so perfectly. He kept catching glimpses of her ass walking that dress all day and he wanted her so badly, right then and there.
And almost as if she could read his mind, Viola placed his hand on the outside of her panties, and she was wet. Zyair’s head whipped to look at her in surprise.
“You’re so wet.”
Viola nodded and slipped her panties to the side and rubbed her clit with Zyair’s fingers.
“Oh, baby. That’s so fucking hot.”
She let out a little moan as she controlled his fingers on her wet pussy. It felt so good, and she was so turned on.
“You should find somewhere to pull over,” she whispered.
Without another word, Zyair found the next secluded backroad he could find, and he pulled over.
As soon as the car was in park, Zyair said “get in the back, now.”
“Wait a minute, I thought I was the one in control here,” she snapped back.
“Not anymore, babygirl. I am always in control. Now get back there before I spank you.”
“Hmmmm, well maybe that’s what I want,” she replied cheekily.
Zyair grinned and as soon as he was in the back seat of the SUV, he unzipped the fly on his jeans and pulled them down a little, just enough for his dick to flop out.
Viola knew what to do so she crawled into the back beside him and got on all fours in the back seat. She gently but firmly grabbed onto his dick and put it in her mouth. It wasn’t as hard as she had seen it before, but she was about to change that. She started by sucking on the tip while stroking his shaft. His big head placed perfectly between her big, full lips. Zyair put a hand on the top of her beautiful dark red hair, not to control her but to let her know that he approved. He let his head fall back.
Knowing she was being a good girl, Viola started to suck a bit harder. She put his hard dick further into her mouth and pressed her lips around it tight. She could feel the suction that was being created by her lips and she could feel him getting harder.
Just as she was getting into it, Zyair moved his hand from the top of her head and said, “get on top of me.”
Viola looked up at him without taking his dick out of her mouth.
Zyair nodded and hissed, “NOW!”
Viola moved back and took off her thong.
“Oh baby, I want to be inside you right now and I don’t want to waste another second.”
And in the next breath, Viola was straddling Zyair and hovering over his hard dick. She leaned over and kissed him before slowly lowering herself on top of him. She moaned into his mouth as his big cock stretched her tight little pussy. She was extremely wet and turned on, but it was still a struggle for him to fit at first.
Viola moved up and down slowly, each time pushing him a little deeper inside. As soon as she took him all the way in, they both gasped. It felt so good for both of them. His hard dick stretching her and the feeling of how wet and tight she was made them both feel amazing.
Viola started rocking her hips back and forth as she rode Zyair in the back seat of her SUV. The vehicle started shaking but she didn’t care. It was dark outside, and they were in a secluded area.
They continued to kiss, and Zyair started to move down, sucking and kissing her gorgeous long neck. Being one of Viola’s weak spots, him doing that really turned her on. She could feel the orgasm starting to build.
“Don’t stop, please.”
She continued to rock back and forth, picking up her pace. Zyair continued to devour her body and slipped the straps of her sundress off, exposing her breasts. Immediately he took one of her nipples into his mouth and started sucking and biting.
That was enough to send Viola over the edge.
“I am going to come,” Viola said breathlessly.
Zyair sucked harder on her nipple as Viola rode him until she came. Her entire body was shaking as she moaned through her orgasm.
After several moments, Viola stopped moving and laid her head on Zyair’s shoulder.
“Oh my god. That felt so amazing.”
“Mmmm, I’m glad. Now it’s my turn,” Zyair responded.
Viola picked up her head and looked him in the eyes. She saw a shift in his mood as he grabbed both her arms and held them behind her back. He looked as if he was the predator, and she was his prey. Their eyes stayed locked, and they didn’t look away.
“Now get up onto your knees and lift your ass a little. I am going to fuck you hard now.”
Viola did as she was told, and Zyair started to thrust inside her. His pace was fast and hard, and he pressed into her as far as he could with each thrust. Her moans became louder with each pulse. Zyair reached over beside him with his free hand and grabbed Viola’s panties.
“Open your mouth,” Zyair instructed.
Without even thinking, she opened her mouth, and he shoved her balled up lacy red thong into her mouth. Her eyes grew wide, and it surprised her how much she was enjoying this. Zyair knew what he wanted and that was extremely attractive.
With Viola’s muffled moans, Zyair fucked her harder than he had before. He squeezed her arms tight and grabbed her ass with the other hand right as he was about to come.
Viola could feel him getting harder and she knew he was close.
A low growl escaped from his lips as his hot fluid spurted inside her. When he was done, he let go of her arms and placed his head on her chest, between her breasts. She wrapped her arms around his head and hugged him. She didn’t want to move because as they sat there, him inside and their bodies pressed into each other, she felt safe. She still didn’t completely understand his need for control but deep down she knew that she could trust him.
“We are going to make a mess,” Viola said as she broke the silence.
“Ah, I’m not worried about it. We can get your vehicle detailed tomorrow. Let someone else deal with it.
Viola smiled. “Okay, daddy,” she said jokingly.
Instantly a devilish grin formed across Zyair’s lips. “Oh, babygirl. You have no idea what you are getting yourself into.”
“Why don’t you give me a little clue then.”
“Let’s just say that good girls get rewarded.”
Those words triggered something inside Viola, and she didn’t understand why. Her insides pulsed and once again she was turned on.
Zyair chucked. “Seems you like it when I say things like that to you.”
Viola blushed and went to get off of Zyair, but he held her still.
“Wait a minute, talk to me,” he said.
It took her a few seconds, but she finally opened her mouth.
“I don’t know why I liked that so much,” she responded shyly.
Zyair was silent for a moment, ensuring he chose the right words to say before speaking.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with that and in fact, I actually love that you do.”
He paused before speaking again.
“I am trying very hard to take things slow with you, but it’s tough. I have certain desires that are met through this type of relationship. The last thing I want to do is to scare you off. So, please tell me if I am moving too fast.”
“What do you mean, this kind of relationship?”
“Well, as I am sure you have noticed, I can get very controlling during sex.”
Viola nodded but didn’t say a word.
“Does that bother you?” Zyair asked.
“No, but I have never experienced this before, so I just need you to be patient with me,” Viola responded.
“Oh, babe. You don’t need to worry; I will always take care of you. This should be an enjoyable time for the both of us. The most important thing though, is communication. You need to talk to me about how you are feeling. There might be some things that you are not okay with, so we will set those boundaries when the time comes.”
“Okay, daddy.” Viola said flirtatiously.
“Oof. That’s a sure way to get me going again. Now get on your hands and knees. I am going to fuck you again very quickly before we go back to the hotel.”
Viola did as he said and was happy to. She felt much better after having this conversation with Zyair and was excited to find out more about this “relationship” he was referring to.
Zyair got behind her and rubbed his cock against her pussy, making sure he left a good amount of pre-cum on her lips. He then guided his cock inside her and started fucking her slowly. Viola moaned as he continued to push himself inside her, enjoying every inch of his cock. He reached over and grabbed her tits, squeezing them as he fucked her harder. He grabbed her by her hair and pulled her head back, kissing her roughly. He moved down her neck, biting at her skin. Viola moaned and arched her back as he continued to kiss down to her shoulders.
Zyair could feel her pussy tightening around his cock and knew she was getting close. He picked up the pace even more. His balls were slapping against her ass and the sound alone was driving him wild. He grabbed her hips and started to pound her hard, ramming his cock deep inside her. Viola cried out as he pounded her tight little hole; her body, and the car, shaking from the force.
Between the moans Viola managed to say, “I’m going to come and I can’t wait any longer.”
Zyair didn’t let up, continuing to fuck her hard. After a few thrusts, she came all over his cock, screaming out in pleasure.
He continued to fuck her until he came too, filling her pussy with his cum. They both stayed there panting for a minute before Viola spoke, her voice tinged with fear. “I am sorry for not waiting for your permission.”
She paused. “And I accept any punishment that you have for me.”
“You’ll submit to me, willingly,” Zyair stated, his voice firm yet laced with seduction.
“Show me what you’re capable of,” she whispered, her voice laced with anticipation and surrender.
The rest of their afternoon was spent exploring the quaint little town and spending time with each other. They did all the cute “touristy” things that Viola wanted to do and although they weren’t at the top of Zyair’s list of things to do, he didn’t care. Spoiling her quickly became one of his favorite things.
As the sun began to set over the picturesque mountainscape, Viola and Zyair walked down the street, hand in hand. She looked up at him and smiled. He gave her a quick peck on the lips and asked if she wanted to grab some dinner.
She nodded and expected him to ask what she felt like eating, but he didn’t ask. He simply led her to a restaurant that was not too far from where they were. She wondered if he researched the place ahead of time or just picked it at random. Either way, it didn’t matter. She loved how he just took control and knew exactly what she needed. She was finally able to relax and enjoy herself.
They ate dinner, talked, laughed, and flirted. She enjoyed every second of it and any feelings of doubt and uncertainty that she might have had when she woke up that morning were completely gone.
They finished their meal and decided to walk back to the hotel. It was dark outside, and the air was crisp and cool. They stopped for a moment to look at the view. It was breathtaking. The sky was clear, and the stars were twinkling above them. The moon was full and illuminated everything below them. They stood there in silence for a while, taking it all in.
Viola glanced at Zyair, a hint of sadness in her eyes. “I don’t want this moment to end.”
He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “Then let’s make every moment count, together.”
She smiled and leaned up to kiss him. He returned the kiss passionately, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer. He broke the kiss and stared into her eyes for what felt like an eternity.
Finally, he whispered, “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
She smirked. “If you’re thinking about heading back to the hotel room, then absolutely.” He chuckled and kissed her again.
When they got to the lobby, Zyair directed Viola to go up to the room while he stopped at the front desk to get a bottle of wine. She entered the room, threw her purse on the table by the door and went to the bathroom. When she came out, Zyair was in the room, taking off his jacket and loosening his tie.
She couldn’t help but stare at the insanely attractive man standing before her. Through his dark facial features, he exudes an enigmatic and intense aura that lingers in the minds of those who come across him. His towering height and authoritative presence mirror his inner might and self-assuredness. His sharp jawline and piercing, spellbinding stare contribute to his charm and enthrall anyone who gazes upon him. His tousled mane draped effortlessly around his face encases a facade of peril and frailty.
He turned around to see her standing in the doorway, wearing nothing but a black lace bra and pair of panties to match. She smiled and confidently walked towards him. Standing tall in front of him, he surprised her by delicately clutching her wrists and binding them with his tie.
“Do you trust me?” Zyair asked, his voice filled with tenderness.
“Yes,” Viola replied, her voice soft and vulnerable.
He kissed her softly and ran his tongue along her bottom lip. He bit down gently, and she gasped. His hand moved down to her stomach and slowly grazed his fingers across her supple skin. He could feel her heart beating rapidly. He moved his hand lower and cupped her pussy through her panties. Viola moaned into his mouth as he rubbed her clit through the fabric. He slipped a finger inside her and found her wetness. She arched her back and pressed her hips against his hand.
As a moan escaped from Viola’s lips, Zyair removed his hand and pushed her against the wall, pinning her arms above her head. He wanted to make sure she knew what would happen if she didn’t do as she was told.
“Are you going to behave this time?” he growled into her ear.
She nodded her head. “Yes,” she replied.
He spun her around and smacked her ass hard with his hand.
Unsure of the exact answer he was looking for, she whispered, “Yes, Sir.”
He grabbed her hair in his fist and pulled her head back gently but forcefully. “Yes, what?”
“Yes, Sir.” She replied, with conviction.
Zyair grinned. “I adore your obedience,” his voice low and husky.
He immediately slid two fingers inside her and curled them upwards, hitting her g-spot. Her pussy was wet with desire, and he could smell the musky scent of her arousal. She was responsive to his touch. Her breathing grew heavy, and she moaned louder.
Picking up the pace, he could feel her opening tighten around his fingers.
“Your body craves my touch, doesn’t it?” Zyair murmured, his voice sending shivers down her spine.
“Every touch, every caress, sends bolts of pleasure through me,” she admitted, her voice trembling with excitement.
He continued to rub her g-spot and move his fingers faster. She was getting closer and closer to climax. She whimpered and tried to pull away, but he tightened his grip on her wrists. Just when she thought she couldn’t take anymore, he stopped.
She pouted and whined, trying to get him to continue, but instead he leaned in and kissed her deeply. She opened her mouth and accepted his tongue.
He pulled away and observed her. She had her eyes closed and her chest was rising and falling quickly.
“Only good girls get to come,” he growled. “Are you going to obey?”
Viola nodded eagerly. Zyair smiled and began to undo his belt with his free hand. She watched as he pulled his pants down, revealing his hard cock through his briefs. She licked her lips and stared at him lustfully.
“Please make me come with your fingers.” Viola begged, her voice breathless.
Zyair asked, his voice dripping with desire. “How badly do you want to come, baby?”
She swallowed and replied, “More than anything. Please, daddy.”
“How could I say no to my sweet girl?” He grinned and grabbed onto her wrists.
He spun her around and guided her over to the couch. With her wrists still bound, he directed her to bend over the armrest and place her forearms on the cushions. She obliged.
“Your ass is absolutely perfect,” he said right before ripping her lacy thong.
He spread her ass cheeks apart and buried his face between them. His tongue ran along her asshole and back down to her pussy.
“Your scent drives me wild, intoxicating my senses,” Zyair murmured, his voice filled with primal need.
She didn’t have time to respond before he inserted two fingers inside her pussy and another inside her ass, working his fingers in and out of both holes, making her moan. With his free hand, he reached up and undid her bra, exposing her breasts. He took one of her rock-hard nipples between his fingers and twisted it, causing her to cry out. That made her core tighten again so he picked up the pace. Her breathing became heavier and her moans more frequent.
“I am getting close,” Viola said as loud as she could, but she struggled to get the words out in between moans.
Zyair smirked. “You want to be a good girl for me, don’t you?”
Her holes tightened around his fingers as he slid them in and out, her pussy gushing at his touch.
He knew she was on the verge of orgasm, so he said, “Let go for me now, Viola. You’ve waited so patiently.”
That was enough to send her over the edge. She instantly let out a loud cry and came all over his fingers. He moved up to kiss her and moaned into his mouth. Her body felt heavy, and her knees were weak, but Zyair wasn’t finished with her. He pulled away and ordered her to stand up.
“Now go lay on the bed with your head hanging off the edge.”
Viola hesitated, the fear of the unknown causing her to feel nervous. But she trusted him and did as she was told. Laying on her back with her head hanging off the edge she watched him take off the rest of his clothes and walk over to her.
“Open your mouth for me,” Zyair demanded.
Viola complied and he shoved his throbbing cock into her mouth. She wrapped her lips around his shaft and sucked on it. A groan escaped his mouth as he placed his hands on the back of her head.
He started thrusting his cock in and out of her mouth, fucking her face. He could feel her throat tighten every time he thrust deeper, pushing her past her limits. She gagged and choked, tears streaming down her face.
Every so often he would pull out and slap her face with his cock. He then put his cock back in her mouth and fucked her face harder. Her saliva dripped down her chin and onto her tits.
“You look so beautiful when you’re choking on my cock,” Zyair husked, his voice smoky and alluring.
He grabbed her hair even harder and forced his cock deep into her throat, holding it there. Viola struggled to breathe, and her throat convulsed around his cock. He pulled out and she gasped for air. She coughed and sputtered, trying to catch her breath. He rubbed the hair away from her face and stared at her lovingly. Viola’s beauty was something she seemed blissfully unaware of. Despite being undeniably stunning, she carried herself with an endearing modesty and down-to-earth nature. Zyair could tell he was falling more in love with her, with every passing moment. He leaned forward and passionately kissed her, tasting himself on her lips.
Once he broke the kiss and stepped back, she opened her mouth to accept his cock once again. He fucked her face slowly, enjoying the breathtaking view of her lying there naked in front of him while her tight throat enveloped his cock. As soon as he was about to come, he pulled out and directed Viola to sit up while removing the tie that bound her wrists together.
Zyair motioned towards the bed, “I want you to lay flat on your stomach now.”
She did as she was told, and he climbed on top of her. He spread her ass cheeks apart and positioned himself behind her with his cock at her entrance. He looked down at her glistening pussy and rubbed the tip of his cock against her opening, teasing her. Then, as pushed the tip of his cock inside her, Viola cried out and arched her back. He held her hips still and buried his entire length inside her. He paused, allowing her body to adjust to his size.
He slowly withdrew his cock until only the tip remained inside her, then pushed it back in. He repeated this move again and again, going faster each time. Viola let out another cry and began to tremble. He picked up the pace and thrust his cock in and out of her faster.
He grabbed her hair, yanked her head back and leaned forward to bite her neck. She moaned loudly and he felt her muscles grip his cock and squeeze it tightly. Sensing his approaching orgasm, he decided to take things to the next level. In one swift motion, he pulled out of her and flipped her over. He grabbed a pillow and positioned it under her hips as she laid on her back. With her legs bent and her hips elevated, he knelt in front of her and plunged deep into her wet opening. He watched her face contort with pleasure as he fucked her.
He reached forward and grabbed her breasts, playing with them roughly. Her nipples were so plump and puffy, so he grabbed one and squeezed it. Viola screamed again and begged him to fuck her harder. He responded by pinching both of her nipples simultaneously and ramming his cock as deep as it would go. The room echoed with the sound of his balls slapping her ass with each thrust.
He gritted his teeth and bit her shoulder, biting down as hard as he could. She screamed and her whole body tensed. Zyair continued to fuck her relentlessly, feeling her pussy tighten around his cock.
He could feel her juices running down his shaft and he was getting closer to climax. He wanted to make sure she came again but the thought of them finishing together really turned him on.
“Can we finish together?” He asked.
Viola nodded eagerly. He began fucking her with long, slow strokes while he leaned forward and licked her nipples, sucking on them gently. He moved his hand down to her clit and started rubbing it. Her breathing quickened and he knew she was close. He didn’t want her to lose the orgasm that was building so he increased the speed of his thrusts and pulled on her nipple even harder.
A few moments later, Viola began screaming as her orgasm took control of her body. She bucked wildly and dug her nails into his legs. He kept pounding her pussy as hard as he could, not letting her come down from her high, while on the verge of his own orgasm.
Content that Viola was satisfied, Zyair let out an audible moan as his cock pulsed inside of her, emptying completely. His warm, milky fluid filled her little hole until it overflowed and oozed out. Once he caught his breath again, he collapsed on top of her and rolled off to the side. They laid there for a few minutes, basking in their post-coital glow.
Viola looked over at Zyair. While he can be dominant and assertive, he also possesses a deep capacity for tenderness and passion. When he loves, he loves fiercely. He embraces his darker side with a confidence that borders on arrogance, yet it is softened by moments of vulnerability that only a select few are privileged to witness.
He smiled and wrapped his arms around her. She snuggled into his embrace and sighed contentedly.
“I never thought I’d find someone who understands me like you do,” Viola said, her voice filled with tenderness.
Zyair kissed her forehead. “Sometimes, fate has a funny way of bringing two souls together.”
