“And I’m here voluntarily because I’m allowed to leave at any time…”
“Yes?”
“Then ifIwanted to try out something I haven’t done before, it’d only be fair for you to let me?”
So much heat floods me at the thought that my entire body turns into an erogenous zone. I consider the wealth of things she might try; a cat-suit with a long whip to tease and tear at my flesh. An invitation to be the first to stretch out that tiny arse while she wriggles and writhes under me. Her squeezing me between those delicate thighs while she rides my face to oblivion, hands fisted in my hair.
Hell yes, I want to let her. I would let her try a million experiments… so long as I got to be part of them.
In tease, I give a small shake of my head. “You want to try go-karting?”
Nadia suddenly lunges across the floor, bending her body to the extreme, all so her stretched out hand can give my ankle a slap.
My eyes follow her easy contortions. She’s more flexible than the yoga instructor I used to perve at when I was fifteen.
She rolls back to her former sitting position just as easily, making my mouth go dry.
“What did you want to do?” I ask but it’s pointless because by the time I get to the end of the sentence, I know. Each time she asks me to do something, and I do it, she’s acted surprised. Like her giving voice to the request has always been a wasted effort.
Another burst of anger flares at the thought of the body lying beneath a sundial at Nadia’s house. A bunch of sorry excuses that were once stitched into a man.
I hope whatever the fuck she did to kill him hurt.
“Yes,” I say before she gathers herself enough to answer. Having just been through that ringer myself, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, let alone her. “You can order me to do anything you like, and I have to obey.”
Her eyes dance and she jumps to her feet, grabbing my hands and doing a quick twirl in the limited space between the bench, the cabinets, and the bed.
When I hook my eyebrow up as a question, she waggles her finger in my face. “Now you’re the one who saidanything.”
CHAPTERSIXTEEN
KAI
When Nadia pushesme back on the bed, my heart beats so fast I feel like it might explode.
I thought she’d order me to satisfy her needs. Telling me where to touch, what to lick, when to insert, suck, flick, or stroke.
Instead, she makes me lie down, passive, waiting while she takes from me what she wants to. Her eyes marvelling over the individual pieces of me like I’m a treat for her eyes and mouth and hands to explore.
She enjoys my body in a way no woman ever has before. I lose my fear of hurting her, of playingtoo rough,as she shows me in slow delectable detail exactly how she feels about my body, so tender that it feels like a kind of worship, except one that gives her as much as I receive.
To stay still while her sultry indulgence continues at its glacial pace is its own kind of torture. My arms jerk, my mind having to override their compulsion to return her touch in kind.
When my palms shift from the covers, she tucks them underneath my back. When they next try to escape, she moves away from me in penance.
“If you don’t stay where I put you, I’ll have to tie you to the bed.”
Fucking hell.
My hips jolt up at the suggestion, expressing an interest I had no idea would spark curiosity. When she straddles me again, supporting herself on one hand planted in the centre of my chest, my throat releases a pent-up moan.
Her mouth explores me first, her lips and teeth and tongue licking and sucking and giving me light nips where they can, not hard enough to hurt but even if it had been, that would be lost under the acres of small forest fires she’s lighting.
Hands follow, pinching, rubbing, stroking my muscles while she watches closely to see how they react, how they twitch and jerk in response.
Sometimes, I close my eyes, exalting in her touch, so much more intense without my chief sense to distract me. Most of the time, I watch her, taking pleasure in her delight, my eyes exploring every detail of her face, committing her to memory.
Then, when there isn’t an inch of me she hasn’t explored or played with, tested my limits on, she wraps her hands around my girth, easing her body forward.
