At that, she falters, and I take her chin in my fingers, making her look me in the eyes. “I’m going to edge the fuck out of you tonight. I’m going to tie you up and touch you, kiss you,fuck you, but you will not come until I say so.”
She swallows hard. “Yes, Rome.”
“That’s my girl.” I kiss her forehead and step away from her. “Take your clothes off.”
As she pulls her tank over her head, I reach for the first bunch of purple rope and bring it to her. Once she’s fully naked, I hold the rope out to her and nod.
“Touch it.”
She smiles as her fingers brush over the rope. “It’s soft.”
“Yes.”
She eyes the other colors on the table, which are different sizes and lengths. “Are they all soft?”
“They are.”
Her eyes drift to the other toys I have laid out beside the ropes, and they widen. “Rome?”
“Ask me anything.”
“Is that a …butt plug?”
I glance at the toy with the red-jeweled end and grin. “It is, yes. We’re going to work up to that.”
She takes a shaky breath, then nods once as if steeling herself for what’s to come.
But she has no fucking idea.
And I can’t wait for her to discover everything happening in here tonight.
“Have you done this in here before?”
“No.” I take her chin in my fingers again. “I’ve never had a woman in my penthouse before you, remember?”
She nods, and I have to admit, I like the look of jealousy in her green gaze at the thought of me doing this with anyone else.
But I need her to relax and feel at ease, so I kiss her lips and brush my nose against hers.
“You’re all that matters, Eloise. Only you. You’re with me now, and you’re my future. That’s all you need to think about.”
That shaky breath comes out on a long exhale, and she leans into me. “I know. You’re right.”
“Good. Let’s get started. Do you remember your colors?”
She nods. “I’m at green.”
“Well done.” I kiss her cheek and nod to the rug in the middle of the room. “Stand here. You’ll eventually be on your knees, but we’ll start here.”
She walks to where I indicated and stands with her arms relaxed at her sides, staring straight ahead.
Christ, she was made for this.So trusting. So fucking beautiful.
And so mine.
I roll the full-length mirror into the room and position it about ten feet in front of her. Room enough for me to work but close enough for her to see everything.
She sucks in a breath and watches herself standing here, completely nude, waiting for me to start.
