The Master's Lessons (12 page)

His moustache
twitched. “Of course I know that, love. Just one look from me seems
to be enough to have your sweet cunt ready for me. But before I
give you all you want, I want to hear from your lips how much you
want to marry me.”

Amelia reared against the bonds in frustration when he balled
his hands and gazed past her into the distance, his jaw clenched
and his cock a rod of steel against his tented trousers in defiance
of his cool words. “
Still
you have not asked me, James!”

“I do not need
to,” he said calmly. “I am waiting, Amelia.”

“Please -”

Cooper tilted his head to the side. “Simply submit to me with
the answer I know you want to give, and all you need will be yours.
Is that so very hard to do, my dear? All I want is to hear from you
that you want to marry me – nay, I would hear you beg me to
marry
you
! I can
wait far longer than you can, Amelia, for you cannot deny I have
the upper hand here.”

Forceful
arousal pounded through her body, making it impossible to hold onto
her defiance through the intoxicating haze of her desire for the
man before her. As her nipples tautened and throbbed with their
yearning for his touch, she let loose a loud moan and met his eyes
again. “You really will do anything to get what you want, won’t
you?”

“Oh, I am not
averse to a little skilled manipulation to do so, no,” he said,
only the ghost of a smile that played upon his lips betraying the
tease behind his words. “Remember that, love, for it is something I
shall turn to time and time again over the course of our marriage;
and as for today, I would gladly stand here drinking in this fine
sight before me until the sun sets if I have to. I do not doubt
that your patience will give way before mine, for I see in your
eyes the truth of how much you want my cock.”

Amelia cried
out in lustful delight as she strained against her bonds, glorying
in all she felt. Holding onto the truth she had learned of how much
she loved submitting to the headmaster’s demands, she parted her
lips in readiness as he drew nearer, clearly confident in his
triumph over her resistance. “I need you far too much to fight this
any longer, James! Yes, I long to marry you, you devious devil, for
I -”

Cooper silenced
her sobbed, heartfelt words by slamming his mouth down onto hers to
swallow the last words she was finally ready to confess to them
both. It did not matter, for not only did they both know what she
had been about to say but there were now many years stretched out
before them in which to tell him so again and again. Secure in that
realisation, Amelia gave up all that she was into his possession,
confident that in his arms she would have everything she could ever
need.
