**Chapter 15: Surrender to Desire**

The morning sunlight streaming through the kitchen windows highlighted the warmth and intimacy of the space, a stark contrast to the passionate night they had just shared. Maya stood at the counter, sipping her coffee, her eyes gazing out the window as she replayed the events of the previous night in her mind. Eric walked into the kitchen, his eyes fixed on her, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Good morning," he said, his voice low and husky, sending a shiver down her spine. Maya turned to face him, her cheeks flushing slightly as she smiled. "Good morning," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Eric walked towards her, his eyes locked onto hers, his movements confident and deliberate. He reached out and took the coffee cup from her hand, setting it on the counter behind her. His fingers brushed against hers, sending a spark of electricity through her body. "Maya," he said, his voice low and commanding. "I want you to take your underwear off." Maya's heart skipped a beat as she met his gaze. She felt a rush of excitement mixed with a hint of nervousness. She nodded, her hands moving to the hem of her shorts. She pushed them down, along with her underwear, letting them fall to the floor. Eric's eyes roamed over her, his gaze burning with desire. He reached out and pulled her close, his fingers intertwining with hers. "Turn around," he commanded, his voice firm but gentle. Maya turned, her back to him, and felt his hands on her hips, guiding her towards the kitchen island. He lifted her onto the surface, his hands spreading her thighs apart. "I want you, Maya," he whispered, his breath hot against her skin. "I want to be inside you, to claim you as mine." Maya felt a surge of excitement as she heard the sound of his zipper being undone, followed by the gentle tug of his pants being pushed down. Eric's cock pressed against her entrance, and with one swift motion, he entered her, filling her completely. Maya gasped, her body adjusting to his invasion. Eric's hands held her hips in place as he began to move, his strokes powerful and deliberate. Maya felt a rush of pleasure mixed with a hint of pain as he claimed her body. "You're mine, Maya," Eric whispered, his voice a commanding whisper. "You belong to me, and I'm going to make sure you know it." As he continued to move, Maya felt her body responding, her pleasure building with each passing moment. She was trapped beneath his dominant gaze, her body his to command. And in that moment, she knew she wanted to surrender to his desire, to let him take control, and to be his.
