Sweet Possession (Carson-Fox Resorts #2)

Chapter 30

Cora

A s determined as I was to never think about my dad again,thatdidn’thappen.

Perhaps I was naive to thinkthatI couldjustmove on from the abuseI’d suffered over the years, not to mention the fear he’d installed in me when I learned he planned to sell me a second time.

Which was why three days after telling my dad I would never think ofhim again, I broke. I’d kept everything bottled up pretending I was fine when I wasn’t.

I was far from fine.

Fox and I had been lying naked in bed, kissing, the first time we’dbeen intimate since Lily had told her vicious lies. When he moved his kisses down my body, something in me snapped, and I’d leaped out of bed as if I’djustbeen electrocuted. When he asked if I was okay, the floodgates opened.

I cried.

I shouted.

I cried some more.

I didn’t know how to deal with the unbearable weight of emotions I’dbeen dragging around with me from the minute I walked out of Arnold Diaz’s casino.

So when Fox suggested I talked to someone to help me processeverything, I didn’t disagree.

Twice a week for the past month, I’d been visiting Dr. Melissa White,pouring my heart out to her.

I didn’t know what it was about her, but from the minute I met her, Ifelt at ease. I could open up to her and tell her pretty much everything without being judged or patronized.

Well, not everything. I couldn’t tell herthatFox had beaten my dad todeath withjusthis hands, otherwise, there would have been a strong possibilitythatFox would have wound up in prison.

Some days, Melissa wouldn’t need to utter a single word. I’d fill theentire session blabbing about things I remembered from my childhood.

There were times when I cried through the entire session. Sessionslike the one I attended the day after Fox came home from work and told methatthe police had informed him they’d found hundreds of photos of Fox on Lily’s computer.

She’d been stalking him. They’d found photos of him having dinner atLe Voile with Sav, and when he was drinking with Nash. Photos of when he was in meetings at work.

Photos of the day we had sex in the pool, only my face had beenscratched out .

Other days, Melissa had to gently coax me to open up when I got lostin my head, and couldn’t think straight.

But therapy was helping.

I was finally beginning to breathe a bit easier.

Today was one of those days where she had to work for her money. Ihad things on my mind.

“And how are things with you and Fox?”Melissa asked after I’djustfinished telling her every little detail about the cake I’d made for a bachelorette party.

She knew I was avoiding the topic at hand.

“Okay, I guess,”I shrugged, not meeting her eye.

“Just okay?”

“Yeah, it’s fine,”I replied, fiddling my fingers in my lap. I lookedat her, finding an amused grin on her lips and her brow arched. I sighed.“Okay, not totally fine.”

“I didn’t think so,”she said.“Do you want to talk about it?”

My cheeks heated. Was it acceptable to ask your therapist aboutsex?

Only one way to find out.

“He, erm…he hasn’t really touched me since that night. I mean, we kiss and we cuddle, but…”

“But you haven’t had sex?” she replied softly. I shook my head. “And why might that be?”

I shrugged again, the ability to speak seemingly lost. Melissa didn’tsay anything. I’d learned her trick though. If she sat in silence long enough, she knew I’d speak.

Sure enough…

“It’s like he thinks I’m going to break again.”

“Have you told him you won’t?”she said, making it sound so damnobvious.“Because from everything you’ve told me about Fox, it sounds to methathe is waiting for you to tell him you’re ready to be intimate again. He’s never rushed you before, Cora. My guess isthathe is patiently waiting until you let him know you are ready.”

I knew she was right, and truthfully, I had no clue why I hadn’t toldhim. It was like I had a mental block any time I tried to approach the subject.

“He looks at me like I’m a shard of fragile glassthatis going to breakat the slightest touch. I try to tell him, but all I see is worry in his eyes, and I…I hate seeing it there. I want things to go back to how they were before, when he couldn’t keep his hands off me.”

Melissa closed her notebook, her signalthatour time was nearly up.“My advice, Cora? If you can’t tell him you won’t break, show him.”

Her advice rang in my ears as we said our goodbyes. It churned inmy mind when I visited the bathroom, and it repeated over and over again as I stared at my reflection while I washed my hands.

Show him.

I wanted my Daddy back. I missed exploring my limits with him. I missed the way he wouldworship my body. I missed the feeling of him moving inside me.

I missed him.

The thought of him being inside me made my core clench to life, afeeling I hadn’t had for almost a month. Determination coursed through me as an idea popped into my head.

Dipping back into the cubicle, I slid my panties off from undermy summer dress, balling them up in my fist. Taking a breath, telling myself I could do this, I headed out to the car park where Fox was waiting. He dropped me off and picked me up from every session, always asking how it went.

The car park was at the rear of Melissa’s clinic, surrounded by tallbrick walls. As I came out of the clinic, I scanned the car park, finding Fox’s car was the only car present.

Perfect.

“Hey, baby girl. How was your session?”Fox said when I slid into thepassenger seat.

I leaned over to kiss him.“It was fine, Daddy.”

He raised a brow. Normally, I’d give him a lot more detail thanthat.Figuring I didn’t want to talk, he went to start the ignition.

“Wait!”I said before I could back out.“I have something for you.”

“Oh yeah?”he replied, curiosity in his tone.

“Hold out your hand.”Nerves were beginning to get the better of meuntil Melissa’s words chimed in my head again.

He grinned, holding his hand out. Placing my balled fist on top of hispalm, I opened my hand, my lacy panties dropping into his hand. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he stared down at the material. When he tore his gaze away to look at me, his eyes were full of fire.

“I want to have sex,”I said, feeling stupid for not being moreseductive.

Raising his hand to his nose, Fox inhaled my panties, my cheeksheating at the action while between my legs, moisture gathered.

“Fuck, baby girl. I’ve waited so long to hear you saythat,”he growled,inhaling my panties again.“I had plans for this evening, but they can wait. I’m going to take you home and fuck you instead.”

He reached for the ignition again, but I stopped him.

“No, Daddy,”I replied, letting a sly smile play on my lips.“I want tohave sex. Right. Now.”

Air whooshed out of his lungs.“Here?”

“Uh-huh,”I replied, twisting my body so a strap fell off my shoulder,revealing the swell of my breast. I wasn’t wearing a bra.“Please, Daddy? ”

I reached over, sliding my hands over the bulge pressing against hisjeans, and squeezed. As I cupped his length, his head dropped back against the headrest.“Fuck, Cora. Are you sure you want to?”

Show him.

Clambering over the center console, Fox’s brows shot up as I settledon his lap, straddling him with my breasts pressed against his chest.

I leaned forward to whisper in his ear.“I’m sure, Daddy. I want youto fuck me like you used to.”

Somethingseemedto snap inside him. He quickly undid the zipper ofhis jeans, shifting in his seat to tug them open and free his erection.“This needs to be quick, baby girl. I don’t want anyone else seeing you like this.”

I beamed at him as he grabbed my waist and slammed me down ontohis length, the two of us gasping when he was fully seated inside me.

“Fucking hell, you have no idea how much I’ve missed being insideyou,”he said through gritted teeth as I began to lift up on his lap, his cock hitting me deep inside when I lowered myself back down.

“I do know, Daddy, I’ve missed you being inside me too”

He burrowed his mouth in the crook between my neck and shoulder,gently biting down as my pace increased, my climax beginning to build almost instantly. The car started rocking with the motion of how hard I was grinding on him, our moans of pleasure filling the confined space.

“Daddy, I’m going to come,”I cried, shocked at how fast I’d reachedthe point of falling off the edge into ecstasy.

“Baby girl, when we get home later, I’m going to spend the rest of thenight drawing orgasms from you, but come for me now. I need to hear you come. ”

When he pinched my nipple over my dress, the pleasure hit my corelike a bolt of lightning and my climax struck. My pussy clenched around him as he thrust up several more times, following me in finding his release.

Breathless, he held me on his lap, his mouth still buried in the crookof my neck and his cock deep inside me. I laced my fingers through his hair, smiling to myself as the tremors of my orgasm faded.

I had my Daddy back.

“What are we doing here?”I asked as Fox brought the car to a stopoutside of Onyx. I needed to get to the bathroom and clean up the mess between mylegs.

“I just need to grab something,” Fox said cryptically. “Come with me?”

“Sure,”I replied, getting out of the car and meeting him on thesidewalk.

He took my hand, leading me into the beautiful casino. I hadn’t beenback here since the night Annaliese had accosted me. The memories tried to push their way forward, but thanks to the coping techniques Melissa and I had been working on, they quickly receded.

If I’d been paying more attention to where Fox was leading me, Iwould have noticedthathe wasn’t heading to the elevatorsthatwould take us up to his office.

It was only when we passed the chiming machines in the casino andentered the shopping plazathatI started wondering where he was taking me .

“Where are we going?”I said, my eyes wide as I took in the paintedceiling and the buzz of people shopping in designer stores. I hadn’t been to this part of the casino before.

“I want to show you something,”he said, suddenly pulling me to astop and spinning me to face him.“I have something for you too, baby girl.”

“Oh yeah?”I said, repeating his words back at him and grinning.

“Yeah,”he said, kissing my forehead.“Turn around.”

I quirked a brow, wondering what he was up to. Slowly, I turned,coming face to face with a huge black curtain draped across the front of a store blocking me from seeing what was sold inside.

Confused, I looked over my shoulder at Fox who was smirking. Hereached into his pocket and pulled out a little remote, handing it to me.

I stared at it with my brows furrowed.“Erm, thanks?”

He chuckled.“Hold it in front of you and press the button.”

Bemused, I faced back to the curtain, raising my arm, and feelingstupid as people stopped to stare.

As I pressed the button, the curtain fell, revealing the storefront.When it hit the floor, so did my jaw.

In bright white lights above the door were the words, ‘Cora’s Cakes.’

Tall glass windows let me see into the shop floor where pink and silver booths lined the walls, and an enormous jukebox stood in one corner. Along the back wall was a huge glass counter ready to display cakes and other goodies.In the middle were several tables, and sitting at one with enormoussmiles on their faces were Nash and Savannah.

“I don’t…I don’t understand,”I stuttered, turning back to face Fox asmy brain struggled to understand what was happening.

“It’s yours, baby girl. Your own bakery,”he said proudly. Dumbfounded,I gaped at him, unable to move as disbelief washed through me. He laughed at the stunned expression on my face as he grabbed my hand.“Come on, you can check out the inside.”

It was a good job Fox was holding my hand, I didn’t think I wouldhave been able to walk otherwise. Nash pulled the door open as we reached it, a little bell chiming above it.

“Congratulations, Cora. First of many bakeries,”Nash said, wrappinghis arm around Sav’s shoulders as she joined him.

They’d onlyjuststarted talking again after she’d given him the silenttreatment for almost a month. I hadn’t believed her at first when she told me Nash had implanted a tracking device in her, and was refusing to tell her where in her body it was so she couldn’t get it removed.

But Fox confirmed it was true, and it was only when Savannah hadserved him with divorce papersthathe’d told her it was in her neck. I didn’t know how he’d done it, but Nash had managed to convince Sav to keep the tracker in.

I couldn’t find the words to reply to Nash as my gaze roamed aroundthe shop, taking in every little detail. It was exactly how I’d imagined it to be.My heart began racing, tears filling my eyes as I imagined rows ofcakes behind the glass counter, all made by me, and happy customers sitting in the seats.

I didn’tevennotice I’d dropped Fox’s hand as I walked around,running a finger over the tables.

“If you don’t like the way it’s decorated, baby girl, we can change it,”Fox said from behind me.“Through the door is the kitchen. It’s all set up ready for you to start baking.”

Behind the counter was a door with a glass window. Standing ontiptoes, I peered through, getting a peek at the sparkling kitchen.

“I...I don’t know what to say,”I said, spinning around only for my jawto drop a second time .

Nash and Sav had disappeared, leaving Fox and me alone.

Fox was down on one knee, a ring box in his hand.“Cora,”he said,clearing his throat.“The minute I met you, you changed my life, and I don’t ever want to be without you. I want to share every minute of your life with you. I want to be the one who makes you smile. I want to be the one who holds you when you’re upset. I want to be the lucky fucker who gets to wake up every morning and ask what on earth I did to be given the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you, baby girl, so would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”

Silent tears slid down my face as I stared down at the ring. It was aplatinum band with a single royal blue diamond. The same color of the flowers we put on Jessie’s grave every time we visited.

It was beautiful.

“Kinda leaving me hanging here,”Fox said, chuckling.

A laugh burst free as he stood, taking my hand and sliding the ringon my finger.

It fit perfectly.

“Well?”he said, cocking his head to the side, and giving me alopsided grin.

A happy smile pulled at my lips as I stared up at him.“Yes, Daddy. I’llmarry you.”

The End.
