Her lips parted as her eyes flickered briefly.“It’s not about degradation.Not really.”Her voice dropped, barely above a whisper.“It’s about being seen.Truly seen.Not just the version of me I show the world—the strong, capable, untouchable woman—but the one beneath that.The one who wants to be used.Who wants to be controlled...owned.”She swallowed hard.“Who craves to be wanted so badly, it hurts.”
His cock throbbed against her, but he ignored it.This wasn’t about his desire.It was about hers.
“And the cage?”His voice was ragged as his fingers flexed against her throat.“What did you feel about what we did?”
Her breath hitched, her pupils dilating.“Power.”
His eyebrows lifted.“Power?”
She nodded, her voice gaining strength.“Because even though it was partly punishment, and I was helpless, even when I was used, I was the one who chose it.I was the one who allowed it.Knowing I could stop it anytime I wanted...that...that was intoxicating.”Her fingers curled into his shirt, her nails digging in.“But with you...”
His breath caught.“With me?”
“It wasn’t just power.”Her voice was barely a whisper.“It was respect.The way you looked at me—like I was precious.Worthy.”Her eyes burned into his.“And that’s what made it different.That’s what made it real.”
His grip softened as his thumb brushed over her pulse.“I feel there’s another aspect you’re withholding from me.”
“No...I’m not.”But it was there...in her eyes, that elusive flash that every so often appeared.This time, he wasn’t letting up.His fingers tightened to the point of almost cutting off her airflow completely.
“You...you’re a bastard,” she whispered, but he remained unmoving.Blinking, she kept tugging on his fingers but soon realized he wasn’t going to budge.
“Yes, I am.I never claimed otherwise.”His eyes remained fixed on her, waiting...
He sighed as she flinched.The way she acted angered him, and that was a red flag.He was known for his master control, but here he was, growling and spitting venom at her, instead of being her Dom...being understanding, supportive, and guiding.He softened his expression and lowered his voice.
“Angel, what happened between us in the cage had a much deeper meaning than the basic BDSM recipe.You know it as well as I do.What aren’t you telling me?”He relaxed his fingers more, watching with fascination as her mouth opened to drag in deep wads of air.
“I...I...”Her eyes darted away from his direct gaze.His fingers tightened warningly to draw them back.
“How did it make you feel to be completely and utterly controlled sexually through humiliation...to the extent that had I ordered it, you would’ve fucked every Dom on this plane that night.”
“I never...I wouldn’t have...you...”
His eyebrows crawled higher.“So, you don’t have a desire to be the only woman available to be the vessel of lust in an all-night orgy, having all your holes filled?”
This time, her entire body flushed like a lobster in a boiling pot.
“No!”
“Shall we test that theory?I’ll chain you to the bed in my suite and send in three Doms, group after group, to fuck you until you beg for it to stop.Then I will be the last one to fuck you until you have nothing more to give...but I won’t stop.I’ll continue until you’re a whimpering, limbless wreck.”
“You wouldn’t!”
“Then be honest, Xia.Tell me your darkest, deepest, and sluttiest fantasy.”
Her eyes dropped.He squeezed...hard.Her breath snagged as she blinked up at him.
“You...you just did.How...how did you know?”
“Let’s just say I also have some insight into a submissive’s true desires.”
“Now you know...so, let me go.”
“I want to know one more thing.”
She stubbornly refused to ask what it was but managed to glare at him, even though she battled to breathe.
“I managed to unleash one of your dark desires in that cage.So, little one...why do you feel shame?”
