“How do you want to feel tonight?”

Josie shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.She couldn't get Carter and Jared out of her head and how they treated her.“Honestly, I want to curl up in a ball and cry.”

“You can do that.If that’s what you need,” he dragged the back of his knuckles against her cheeks.

His touch, the closeness of him, comforted her to the point of tears.

“I want to feel pushed.”

“Pushed to do what?”He massaged her back in slow circles, his breath warm against her ear.

“To let go.”

“This scene is going to be amazing, sweet girl.I’m going to take this,” he grabbed coils of rope.“And this,” he took a vibrator still in its packaging and passed it to her.Josie blushed looking at the toy.It was a finger vibe.“And close your eyes.”

Josie did, gripping the package tightly.She giggled as something soft swept against her neck.

“Open your eyes.”

She did, blinking.“A mitt?”

“Yep.One side is soft and the other—” Ares flipped his hand around to show her.“Is spiky.May I?”

“Yes.”Josie tensed, waiting for the pain but as Ares brushed it up and down her arm, she exhaled.“That feels good.A little rough but I like it.”

“A little ouch,” Ares grinned wickedly, pressing his palm to her back.She felt the pressure of the spikes through her shirt, but it wasn't an unpleasant sensation.

Ares stopped when they were at the foot of the bed.“Here is good.Do you remember how we started the scene last time?”His eyes smouldered with banked heat.He tipped her chin to him.

That gesture made her feel wholly his.

“Yes.”

“Good.Stay right there.”

She focused on trying to stay still but felt certain he could hear the drumming of her heart.

Ares turned, dropping the ropes and toys on the dresser.From the top drawer he pulled out a bottle of lube and safety shears.“You’re so pretty, waiting for me like that.This is the kind of submission I love.”

“Why?”she kept her stare straight ahead, shivering as he lifted her hair from her nape and pressed his lips to her skin.

“Because you want to be here.I’m not compelling you with force but with need.Undress, if you’re ready.”

Quickly, she got herself undressed, hesitating a second when everything but her bra and panties were off.

“All of it,” His breath was hot against her ear, sending shivers down her spine.His fingertips slid under the edge of her bra.“You’re so pretty.I love touching your body.”

His silky voice set her trembling with need.He undid her bra, set it on the chair, then he strode back, intent in his gaze.

“I like how you say nice things about my body.”

“You have a gorgeous body, sweet girl.This ass is delicious.How can I not compliment it?”

They’d hardly started, and she already felt weightless.That’s what being with this man did.

He nuzzled her neck as he rolled down the waistband on her panties, helping her to step out of them.

She turned to face him.When she met his eyes, it felt like liquid heat swam through her veins.She stood on her tiptoes, wavering a second but stayed on her feet.The fact that he didn’t reach out to steady her, made her heart open for him even more.Ares understood her.She pushed his blazer off his shoulders, folded it, and set it over the arm of the chair in the corner.
