I shivered as his words ghosted across my ear. He hadn’t touched me once, yet my cock throbbed against my thigh.
“Shall I keep going?” Jade asked. “Or are you comfortable at this level?”
I didn’t even think. “Keep going.”
He ran a tender hand across my cheek. “My, you’re adventurous. Or is it your kitten’s curiosity driving you?”
I huffed. My remaining scrap of dignity chose not to respond.
Jade gave my cheek a gentle pat before resuming his rope work. He draped it around my neck, knotting it above and below the collar, like reinforcing pillars of ownership. Then he connected the rope to the silk cage restraining my wrists.
My pulse pounded against my throat. I was fully immobile, yet I didn’t feel unsafe or claustrophobic. I felt strangely secure in my helplessness. I was prey caught in the web of the world’s most dangerous and devoted predator.
“Thoughts?” Jade asked.
I felt both the silk and leather on my neck shift as I spoke. “I like it,” I said, embarrassed by how feeble I sounded.
“Truly?”
I heard the subtle glee in his voice. He was like a kid in a candy store.
“Yes, truly,” I replied.
He hesitated. “There’s one more thing I’d like to do. Will you trust me?”
“Obviously, I trust you,” I mumbled. “Do whatever you want.”
More soberly, he pressed, “Yes, but doyouwant it?”
My cheeks burned up at having to say it. “Yes, I want whatever medieval fetish torture you’re going to put me through.”
He laughed softly. “It’s nothing like that.”
When Jade began to move, I wondered what else he’d throw at me. A second later, the world went dark. He’d covered my eyes with a pitch-black strip of fabric. With my vision gone, my other senses flew into overdrive. The silk rope encasing my body felt softer, more snug. My skin hummed with heat and glistened with sweat. Jade’s scent swirled around me like an intoxicating perfume of incense and natural musk.
“Is this all right, kitten?” he asked.
My heartbeat wracked my chest. I was sure Jade could see my shoulders tremble with each fierce beat.
“Yes,” I breathed.
He kissed my cheek. “You’ve been so brave, facing your punishment.”
Warmth spread through my chest. His praise always felt like an indulgence.
Cool air rushed against my hot skin as Jade stood and stepped away. I sensed him in front of me now. I sucked in a ragged breath as he came closer. His crotch was at my face level, but Jade didn’t close the gap between us. He left a deliberate, frustrating space between his clothed erection and my mouth.
“You’re the worst,” I muttered.
I heard the smug grin in his voice as he replied, “You got yourself into this mess, kitten.”
Dammit. If I’d kept my hands to myself at dinner, I would’ve had a mouthful of dragon cock by now. Instead Jade was torturing me like some evil bondage overlord.
He was just near enough that I felt air move with each motion. Jade rustled with something, and I heard what sounded like the quiet snap of an elastic. Did he lower his underwear?
I bit my lip. I imagined his rigid, throbbing shaft right in front of me, finally free of all the clothing. And he wasn’t even letting me have it.
Jade released a gratified hiss through his teeth followed by a quiet, subtle moan. I imagined him holding his cock, finally touching it after all that build up, and how good it must’ve felt. I grew more irritated thatIwasn’t the one touching it.
