I did just what I told Hero I would; I called Tawnee and informed her I wouldn't need to stay at the motel any longer.

It was a hassle to pack everything into his Ford Capri and unload it all back into the apartment, but when it was all finished, I couldn't have been happier.  

I was in the one place I was supposed to be, though it felt as if it were my first time.

Hero tossed the boxes to the ground, immediately rushing towards me. His mouth captured mine, our tongues clashing together violently.

I did my best to take a breath, but he wouldn't allow it. As insatiable as he was, Hero grasped my hair tightly, the bulge in his pants pushing against my stomach. 

"What's gotten into you?" I asked playfully. 

"I'm sorry," Hero murmured, "I just can't keep my hands off you. I can practically see your breasts through that dress."

I blushed remembering how long I'd been bra-free. 

Hero bit down on his lip. "What do you say we go rectify the situation?"

I planted my feet to the ground as he tried to pull me to the bedroom. I knew what he meant by this. 

"Condom- what about a condom?" I asked. 

We had been risking it all by having sex in my office. 

"Forget about that," Hero growled impatiently, "I'll pull out. I need to be inside you. Now."

He was gentle as he lead me to our large bed. I was greeted with the plush velvet as I was eased back, my skirt hitching over the top of my legs.

Hero nipped at my thighs, running his tongue against my entrance. It pulsated from the sudden contact.

I wanted him too. 

I closed my legs, wanting to create more friction.

Hero, however, wasn't going to let this happen. He yanked them apart, tutting at me. 

"Keep them open," He ordered, "I want to see all of you."

He then quickly removed my underwear, flinging it to the side. Grabbing at the hem of my dress so that my breasts were completely bared, he sucked on a nipple, making a nerve hit my groin. 

He wasn't being gentle, but god, did I like it.

Like a lithe snake, Hero slipped off the bed, making his way over to our walk-in closet brandishing a few shoelaces.

As I sat up to get a good look at them, he eased me back on the bed. 

"Sit still." He ordered. "I'm going to tie you to the bedposts." 

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. He was going to tie me? What did that even mean? 

I didn't think I wanted to do this. 

I sat up, backing against the headboard. Hero backed away dropping the ties. 

"I'm sorry." He apologized. "I didn't realize you probably have never done this before." 

I raised an eyebrow. "Other people have done this before?" 

Hero sat on the edge of the bed as to not shock me again.

"I mean... yeah they do. Sometimes they take other kinks over the top, but this is a bit tame. I don't want you to be scared of me." 

I shook my head, crawling closer to him. 

"I'm not scared of you. I think it just took me off guard. I didn't realize that it had to do with sex."

Hero seemed offended at this. "What did you think I was going to do? Murder you?"

I shook my head. No. Never in a million years did I think he would kill me. He would be the one to take the bullet for me. 

"Do you want me to do this?" I squeaked nervously. 

Hero loomed over me, his stare unrelenting. 

"I won't force you to do something you don't want to do," He began, "Though, I want to show you I love you the only way I know how."

I thought about this for a long moment. Being tied up definitely made me more vulnerable, but I wanted to please him. I responded by laying back on the duvet, holding out my wrists. 

"Please,"

Hero smirked mischievously, immediately taking my wrists in his large palms. He tied them just enough to keep me still, then moved to tie my ankles.

When he was finished, he began unfastening the button on his jeans, never taking his eyes off mine. 

I saw his impressive length jutting up invitingly. I could already tell it was rock hard and I wanted to run my tongue over the tip. 

"I'm so fucking hard right now," Hero warned, "You may be tight... but I'm willing to work with that."

Before I could meet his eyes again, he thrusted into me, long and hard.

Grunting from the effort he looked into my orbs, finally speaking:

"Who do you belong to?" 

The pleasure was so fast and unexpected, I didn't have time to respond before he was thrusting into me again, demanding an answer.

He was being really rough. 

"You," I said in a whisper. 

"Do you have feelings for Cole?" Hero seethed, waiting for a reply. 

"Hero... What...?" I trailed off, not sure where he was going with this. 

He slowly eased back, then, with a hard jolt, thrusted to the hilt, making me crave more of him. I didn't want to think about another man while we were making love. 

"Answer me," He demanded, sounding desperate. 

"N-no," I quickly stuttered, "He's no one. I love you, Hero. Only you."

"Say it again," He begged, thrusting into me relentlessly. 

"I love you," I murmured, almost feeling too weak to say it.

"Again," Hero demanded, pumping once more. 

I couldn't take it anymore. With frustration, I pulled at my restraints, screaming my reply. 

"I LOVE YOU!"

Without any warning, Hero growled like a depraved caveman as he instantly unfastened my legs and tossed them over his shoulders.

With gusto, he slid into me, making me slick and wet. He pounded me like never before, calling out my name as if afraid he'd never see me again. 

Then, all too quickly, I cried out with him, coming down from my climax. 

When we were finished, Hero cradled my cheek, kissing my forehead. 

"Don't ask me to stop protecting you. You came into my life, without any warning. I can't let you walk out of my life, not again."

I sighed, wiping off a sheen of sweat. 

I really had changed him, hadn't I?
