Pride

*Joseph*

I watched as she became the queen I already knew she was, standing in front of a room full of armed criminals, she placed a crown on her head. My heart pounded as she danced around the fear and intimidation like she had been practicing for months for the ball. She would look at me waiting for me to stop her, or to step in, but I knew she was in control of the situation. Frankly, I was very aroused by the show. I didn't have to attack anyone, though I was glad to see someone hit that egomaniac in the face. By the time the meeting had adjourned, she had gained the respect of the oldest leader I have, and his wife. She felt accomplished, and I could tell. I was more proud than the mother of the first-place spelling bee champ. I walked up to her with no control of my own wrapping my arms around her. She was mine, all mine, and I was determined to show her. I walked her to our room upstairs, since we had to stay at the city house this time. We had to wait for Henry to come back and decide how things would go for the card game. As soon as we entered the room, I started undressing her. "I thought you might be upset with me," she said breathlessly as I kissed her neck and shoulders. I stopped and grabbed her chin pulling her eyes to mine. Her grey eyes still have the same effect on me as they did in Ohio, in the jail room in the country, and last night. She tried to look away, maybe still worried about what my words would be. "Look at me," I ordered causing those grey eyes to look into my soul. "I am so damn proud of you Sandra. You made me want to be inside of you instantly when you stood up to that douche. Your strength and courage ran through me like an electric current the whole time you stood there taking your place as my queen." I didn't give her time to speak as I pressed my lips firmly to hers. She melted into me relaxing almost instantly I picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. When I stood her up at the end of the bed I quickly removed the rest of her clothing. I stepped back looking her over. "Damn, I am one lucky man," I said running my hand down her body. She moaned as the goosebumps came closing her eyes to embrace the feeling. I removed my clothing while she stood there, eyes still closed. The chill in the room had caused her nipples to tighten, and the points were calling to me. I leaned down and put my mouth on one and then the other before softly blowing on each one. She moaned softly at the sensation.

I heard my phone ringing in the other room, but I wasn't going to leave this beautiful goddess unsatisfied. I twirled her around bending her over the edge of the bed. "You are the most amazing creature, so beautiful, so strong, so intelligent, I love you so much, Sandra," I said as I ran my hand up her thighs and to her ass. The view in front of me was heaven. I ran my fingers down her ass to her slit, slowly rubbing the crease before slipping them completely inside. She moaned out loudly when she felt them enter her. "You feel amazing today baby, always so ready for me," I said continuously running my finger in and out of her slit. She was practically panting when I ran my full length inside of her. I started slowly so she could get her footing before wrapping both hands around her hips and completely overtaking her. She screamed out as I crashed into her, begging me never to stop. When I felt her tighten around me I couldn't take much more. "Give it to me baby," I said loudly over her screams. As soon as I felt her body release, I went right along with her. After the dizziness started to go away I turned her around and kissed her. "You always feel so good Sandra, I could be inside of you always." She looked at me smiling, before pulling me closer to her. She was hugging me tightly, making me think something was wrong. "Are you okay?" I asked worried that I may have missed something. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes, making me worry even more. "Sandra, what's wrong?" I asked again more frantic. She reached up placing her hand on my face and smiling, "Nothing is wrong boss, these are happy tears. Thank you so much for saving me. Every day you save me..." She paused a moment, and I could tell she was deep in thought. "I haven't felt this much like me, like Elizabeth, for such a long time. Thank you for bringing her back to me." She said smiling. I looked at her confused because I thought Elizabeth was something she wanted to forget. Understanding my confusion she smiled at me and kissed me softly. "I do not want to be Elizabeth, but I want her courage. Her strength, motivation, and will. Her fight. Everything Ryan stole from me that you have returned in spades. I love you, boss." I wrapped my arms completely around her, feeling tears threatening to form in my eyes. She thinks I saved her, in reality, she has saved me.

When we were dressed again, I walked to grab my phone and poured both of us a drink. She followed behind me closely. "What are we drinking?" She asked taking her glass and hopping up on the bar. I walked in between her legs still feeling the need to be close to her. She smiled at me as I got closer. I took a drink of my whiskey and laid my head across her chest. "This was better when you were naked," I said hinting for her to go take her clothes back off. She shook her head at me with a laugh, not taking me seriously. I laid my phone back down on the counter. "I'm sorry my queen, I said it wrong, I want to do this with you naked." Her eyes got wide noticing my voice change. She jumped down off the counter and headed for the bedroom. I finished my drink and poured another. When she returned I felt myself holding my breath, she was completely naked, except for a pair of heels. I will have to ask her to be naked more often. I told her to spin for me, and then do a model walk across the floor. She shook her head at me, shrugged, and walked through the kitchen giggling the whole time. I walked over to her smacking her ass hard before pulling her to me. "I could get used to this naked easy access stuff," I said dramatically raising an eyebrow. "Sure boss, I will walk all over our country house like this," she said mischievously. I smacked her ass again. She yelped as we both started laughing hard. We were both completely drained getting humor out of what we could. When I looked at the clock I realized it was after midnight. "I think we should go lay down darling, You need to rest, and I am enjoying that body one more time tonight." She grinned big at me as she walked back towards the sink. She washed both of our glasses dried them and put them away. I watched as she did everything in the nude, and couldn't wait to feel her again. Something about watching this relaxed me. She grabbed my phone and walked over towards me placing it in my phone, holding my comm as well. "You don't want to lose this boss, I feel these little earbuds are expensive." I smiled at her nodding yes, "Thanks, dear." I smiled. I started to walk her to the bedroom and place everything on the dresser. I changed into boxers as she lay in the bed watching me. "You are a god, Jo, just an astonishing fucking man," she said licking her lips. I smiled at her winking and pretending to model myself, She laughed at me and I could watch her whole body vibrate with the sounds. Best sound I think I have ever heard. When I started to head to bed she asked me who called.

I realized I never actually looked so I walked back to the dresser. I looked at my phone, it was Henry. When I checked the voicemail, my blood turned cold. All I could hear was someone yelling in the background. They sound like they are being struck, or something and are in pain. *Henry* I thought, instantly getting sick to my stomach. Then a voice began speaking coldly, "Hello Smoke, When you can tell me why you sent a brotherhood spy to my place of rest, you can have him back. I can't say if he will be in one piece." *Luca*
