Chapter 3: The Claim
The heavy oak door of Leo’s study clicked shut behind them, a sound as final as a vault sealing. The raucous energy of the party – the clinking glasses, the bursts of laughter, the soaring strings of the quartet – vanished, replaced by an intense, intimate silence broken only by the crackle of logs in the grand fireplace and their own ragged breathing. The scent of aged leather, polished wood, and a hint of expensive cigar smoke enveloped them, thick and potent. Sun-drenched during the day, the room now held the low, flickering light of flames and a single desk lamp, casting deep, shifting shadows across the bookshelves and the imposing mahogany desk.
Rachel barely had time to register the opulent details – the gilt-framed landscapes, the first editions lining the walls – before Leo moved. It wasn’t predatory speed, but deliberate, unstoppable force. He crowded her, one hand slamming against the cool plaster wall beside her head, the other instantly finding the base of her throat. Not choking, yet. Claiming. Shocking and thrilling her all at once.
His body pressed into hers, hard and unyielding, pinning her against the wall. The heat radiating from him was immense, a furnace contrasting with the cool wall at her back. His breath, warm and smelling faintly of whiskey, ghosted over her ear, then her neck, making every fine hair stand on end. His lips brushed the sensitive skin just below her ear.
"You’ve been searching for this, haven’t you?" His voice was a low growl, vibrating through her bones. The hand at her throat tightened slightly, a possessive pressure that forced her chin up, forcing her to meet his gaze. His pale eyes, sharp as shards of ice in the firelight, held hers captive. There was no amusement now, only a fierce, consuming intensity. "Circling the party like a fucking shark in emerald silk. Flaunting that sharp mind, that fucking body. Teasing Boone with your earnest vegan chatter." His thumb stroked the pounding pulse in her neck. "But it’s this you crave, isn’t it? Not polite conversation. Not gentle understanding." He leaned closer, his lips hovering millimeters from hers. "Tell me you want this, Rachel." The pressure on her throat increased, a silent command. "Tell me you want me to own you."
A shudder ripped through her, violent and involuntary. Her nipples were tight, painful points against the silk of her dress. Heat pooled low in her belly, a molten surge that eclipsed fear, eclipsed thought. Her carefully constructed CEO persona, the armor she wore like a second skin, felt paper-thin under his scrutiny, under the raw demand radiating from him. The secret yearning, the desperate craving for surrender she hid even from her husband, roared to the surface, undeniable.
She swallowed against the pressure. Her voice, when it came, was a ragged whisper, stripped bare. "Yes."
A dark satisfaction flared in his eyes. "Louder."
"Yes," she breathed, stronger this time.
He released her throat, only to grab her jaw, tilting her face up sharply. "Say the words. Tell me what you want."
"I want this," she gasped. "I want… I want you to own me." The admission, spoken aloud in this opulent, silent room, felt like both a sin and a liberation.
A feral grin touched his lips. "Good girl." He captured her mouth in a kiss that was pure possession. It wasn't gentle, wasn't seeking permission. It was deep, demanding, his tongue thrusting past her lips, claiming her mouth with bruising force. She moaned into it, her hands finding his shoulders, clutching the expensive fabric of his jacket, not to push away, but to anchor herself as the world tilted. His hands moved, sliding down her sides, mapping the curve of her waist, the flare of her hips through the silk. He gripped her ass, pulling her hard against the unmistakable ridge of his erection straining against his trousers. The friction was electric.
He broke the kiss, leaving her gasping. His eyes burned into hers. "This dress," he murmured, his voice thick with lust. He traced a finger along the neckline, dipping slightly lower. "It’s beautiful. But it’s in my way." His hands found the delicate straps of her emerald gown. With a sharp, decisive tug, he pushed them down. The bodice crumpled, baring her breasts to the cool air and the heat of his gaze. She gasped, her skin pebbling instantly.
He didn’t pause. His hands were rough, possessive, cupping her breasts, thumbs scraping over her taut nipples. He bent his head, his mouth closing hot and wet over one peak, sucking hard, his teeth grazing the sensitive flesh. A cry tore from her throat, sharp and needy. He switched to the other breast, lavishing it with the same rough attention, his hand squeezing and kneading the first. The dual assault on her senses – the sharp pleasure-pain of his mouth, the possessive grip of his hands – sent shockwaves through her core.
His mouth left her breast, trailing wet, biting kisses down her sternum, over her stomach. He dropped to his knees before her, the sudden shift shocking. His hands pushed the bodice and skirt down her hips, taking her panties with them. The silk pooled around her ankles. She stood naked before him, bathed in firelight and shadow, exposed and trembling.
Leo looked up at her, his gaze searing. "Fuck, you’re exquisite," he breathed, his voice rough. His hands slid up her bare thighs, spreading them apart. He leaned in, burying his face between her legs. His tongue, hot and relentless, licked a broad stripe through her slick folds. Rachel cried out, her hands flying to his hair, fingers tangling in the dark strands, not to guide, but to hold on as he devoured her.
He feasted on her. His tongue circled her clit, flicking rapidly, then pressed flat against it, applying firm, delicious pressure. He plunged his tongue deep inside her, fucking her with it, the slick sounds obscene and thrilling in the quiet room. He alternated, teasing her opening, sucking her clit into his mouth, grazing it with his teeth, then diving deep again. He read her body expertly, sensing the tightening coil, the desperate tremors in her thighs.
"Leo!" she gasped, her head thrown back against the wall. "Oh god… please…"
He pulled back just as the first wave threatened to crest. He rose smoothly, his own breathing harsh. His eyes were dark pools of lust. He unbuttoned his trousers with swift, impatient movements, freeing his cock. It was thick, hard, the head glistening. He gripped it, stroking himself once, his gaze locked on her exposed, glistening cunt.
"Look at you," he commanded, his voice thick. "Dripping for me. Begging for my cock. My exquisite little CEO." He stepped closer, the heat of his body radiating against hers again. He grasped her hips, lifting her slightly, turning her roughly to face the wall. Her cheek pressed against the cool plaster. He kicked her feet wider apart. One hand gripped her hip, the other guided the blunt head of his cock to her wet entrance.
"Tell me whose cunt this is," he demanded, rubbing the head through her slickness, teasing her opening but not entering.
Rachel braced herself against the wall. Enthralled. Fulfilled, even as this dark part of her was finally being fed, nourished. This aching need she'd carried for years.
"Yours," she breathed, writhing against him.
"Louder."
"Yours, Leo!" The words were torn from her.
He thrust into her in one powerful, brutal stroke, burying himself to the hilt. A cry, half pain, half ecstasy, ripped from her throat as he filled her completely, stretching her deliciously. He held himself deep for a moment, letting her feel every hard inch, his body pressed flush against her back, his hand splayed possessively over her belly.
"Fuck," he groaned against her ear. "So fucking tight. So wet for me." He pulled back almost all the way, then slammed home again. And again. He set a relentless, punishing rhythm, fucking her hard against the wall, his hips pistoning. The slap of skin on skin, her gasps, his guttural groans, merged with the crackling fire. He reached around, his fingers finding her clit again, rubbing in tight, rapid circles as he drove into her.
The dual assault was overwhelming. The deep, full feeling of him stretching her, the relentless friction, the expert pressure on her clit – it built the pressure inside her to an unbearable peak. Her inner muscles clenched around him, desperate for release.
"Come for me, Rachel," he commanded, his voice raw. "Come on my cock. Now."
The command, the brutal possession, the sheer physical intensity shattered her. Her orgasm crashed over her, a violent wave of pure sensation. She screamed, her body convulsing, clamping down hard on his cock as she shook against the wall.
He groaned, deep and primal, as her inner walls milked him. He fucked her through her climax, his thrusts becoming even harder, more erratic. "That's it," he gritted out. "Take it. Take my fucking cock." His own release followed moments later, triggered by her pulsing tightness. He slammed into her one last time, burying himself impossibly deep, his body shuddering violently against hers as he emptied himself inside her with a guttural groan, spurt after hot spurt filling her.
He held her there for long moments, pressed against the wall, both of them gasping, slick with sweat, the air thick with the scent of sex and woodsmoke. His weight pressed her into the plaster, his cock still twitching inside her. Slowly, he withdrew, the sensation making her whimper. He turned her around to face him. Her legs trembled, barely holding her up. His gaze raked over her flushed face, her kiss-swollen lips, her breasts marked by his mouth.
He cupped her cheek, a surprisingly tender gesture after the violence of their joining. His thumb brushed her lower lip. "Mine," he stated, the word a low rumble of pure possession. He leaned in, capturing her lips in a deep, claiming kiss that tasted of salt and sex and absolute control.
He pulled back just enough to capture her chin. "Look at me."
Rachel's eyes flicked up to meet his, hazed and sex-drugged.
"Good girl. Now, who owns the pretty pussy I just fucked into the wall?" He nipped at her jaw.
"Leo owns it." She whispered.
He shook his head. "Louder, kitten. Leo owns the pretty pussy between my thighs. Say it."
Heat flooded her veins. "Leo owns the pretty pussy between my thighs."
He brushed a kiss across her lips. "That's right, I do. Now, I'm going to fuck you again. Just to make sure you know who owns you. And then you're going to get that beautiful dress back on and go back out to the party like we had a nice, lovely business meeting. Except for your panties. Your panties stay with me. In my pocket. And you don't get them back. Understand?"
She nodded.
"And you can play with Brad and flirt with Orlando all you want, but at the end of the night, you will be in my bed, screaming my name while you come on my cock. Again. And again. Until I decide to let you sleep. And when you wake up, kitten, I'm going to do it all over again tomorrow until you forget your name and the only name you remember is 'mine.' Got it?"
She nodded. "Yes, Sir."
He brushed a kiss over her lips. "Good little kitten. Now, I'm going to bend that beautiful body over my desk and take that sweet pussy that I own again. And you are going to be a good little girl and spread your legs and scream for me. Again. And if you don't scream loud enough, kitten, I'm just going to keep you here, fucking your little brains out until you do."
Leo’s grip on her jaw tightened, the threat hanging thick in the smoky air. "Understood?" he growled, the firelight catching the ruthless certainty in his pale eyes.
Rachel’s heart hammered against her ribs, a trapped bird. "Yes, Sir," she breathed, the title tasting foreign yet thrillingly right on her tongue. Every nerve ending still sang from the brutal claiming against the wall, her core throbbing, sticky with his release.
He released her jaw, but his dominance didn’t waver. "Move." It wasn’t a request. Before she could fully process the command, his large hands clamped onto her hips, spinning her roughly away from the lingering warmth of the wall plaster.
Her breath hitched as he propelled her the few steps towards the massive, polished mahogany desk dominating the center of the room. The scent of lemon oil and old paper replaced the plaster dust. Her bare thighs brushed cool wood as he positioned her.
"Bend over," Leo commanded, his voice low and relentless. He placed a firm hand between her shoulder blades. "Now, kitten. Ass in the air. Show me what’s mine."
The command sent a fresh jolt of heat through her battered nerves. Her palms flattened on the cool, smooth surface as she obeyed, folding forward at the waist. The position thrust her ass high, leaving her utterly exposed and vulnerable. Firelight played over the curve of her spine, the swell of her buttocks, the glistening, swollen lips of her cunt, still stretched and slick from his first use.
She felt the heat of him behind her, heard the rustle of his clothes. His hands spread her legs roughly, moving her without a word. The blunt, insistent pressure of his cock, already thick and hard again, nudged against her soaked entrance. He rubbed the broad head through her slick folds, coating himself in her arousal, teasing the tender flesh he’d just brutalized.
"You feel that?" he murmured, grinding against her, the ridge of his cockhead catching on her clit, making her gasp. Making her moan. "Still so fucking wet. Still hungry for it. Couldn’t get enough against the wall, could you? Needed my cock buried deeper?"
A ragged whimper escaped her. "Yes, Sir."
His hand slid down the small of her back, over the curve of her ass. "Good girl." His fingers didn't linger. One hand fisted suddenly in the fiery cascade of her hair, close to the scalp, pulling her head back sharply, arching her spine. The other hand gripped her hip, fingers digging in. "Hold still."
He didn't wait. No gentle entry. He aligned himself and thrust forward, hard and deep, sheathing himself inside her in one brutal, unyielding stroke.
Rachel cried out, a sharp, guttural sound ripped from her throat as he filled her completely, stretching her already sensitive passage. The invasion was profound, shocking in its immediacy, driving the breath from her lungs. Her fingers scrabbled for purchase on the smooth desktop.
"Ah, Fuck!" Leo groaned, a sound of pure carnal satisfaction. He pulled back almost entirely, letting her feel the drag of his thick shaft, then slammed home again. And again. "Christ, that cunt… grips me like a fucking vice."
He set a punishing rhythm, his hips pistoning, driving into her with deep, powerful strokes that rocked her entire body forward against the desk with each impact. His grip on her hair held her head back, exposing her throat, forcing her to take it. His other hand tightened on her hip, controlling her, using her.
The wet slap of skin on skin echoed in the grand room, a lewd counterpoint to the crackling fire and their ragged breathing. His balls slapped against her clit with every deep plunge, sending sparks through her oversensitive nerves. The sheer force of his possession, the helplessness of her position, the rawness of being taken over his own desk like an object, ignited a wildfire inside her. Pain bled into blinding pleasure, a feedback loop tightening every muscle.
"You scream like I own you now, kitten." he demanded, his voice tight with strain. He fucked her harder, deeper, angling his hips to hit a spot inside her that made stars burst behind her eyelids. "Louder! Let the fucking paintings hear who owns this sweet pussy!"
Her body convulsed, overwhelmed. The pressure built again, terrifyingly fast, a tsunami cresting. "Leo! Oh God... please... Sir... I'm...!" The words dissolved into a broken cry as the orgasm detonated, tearing through her with violent intensity. Her inner walls clamped down hard on his invading cock, milking it rhythmically as she shuddered and sobbed against the desk, her vision blurring.
He roared, a primal sound of triumph and release. His thrusts became wild, uncontrolled jackhammers, burying himself to the root on each drive as his own climax surged. She felt the hot, wet pulse deep inside her as he came, jet after thick jet spilling into her clutching depths. He held himself buried, grinding deep as he emptied himself, his body trembling violently against hers, his grip on her hair and hip like iron.
He slumped over her back for a long moment, his harsh breaths hot against her skin, his softening cock still lodged deep within her. The only sounds were the fire and their labored gasps. Slowly, he pulled out. The sensation made her whimper, feeling suddenly empty, the cold air a shock on her stretched, wet flesh.
He released his grip on her hair, letting her head drop forward. His hand smoothed down her spine, a gesture almost incongruously gentle after the violence. "Up," he commanded, his voice rough but calmer. "Get dressed."
Rachel pushed herself up on trembling arms, her legs feeling like water. She turned, bracing herself against the desk for support. He was already refastening his trousers, watching her with dark, satisfied eyes. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the scrap of silk and lace that was her panties. He held them up, a dark smirk playing on his lips. He tucked them deliberately back into the same pocket. "Mine. Now get that dress back on, Rachel. You have a party to return to. There is no cleaning up for you. I want to watch you flirt with Brad and smile at Orlando know that my cum is dripping down your thighs. I want you to smell like I fucked you senseless. And remember," his gaze locked onto hers, charged with promise and possession, "My bed. Later. You’ll scream until you forget every other name but mine."
He left the room, closing the door behind him.
