Chapter Sixteen
“Back on the bed.Against the pillows, knees up, legs apart,” Alexander said as he led her up to theplatform.
Once he’d positioned himself between her knees, he ran his hands up her thighs. “Remove my shirt, Elizabeth. I want to feel your hands onme.”
One button at a time, she parted the crisp material, until she could peel the shirt from his shoulders. A chiseled chest gave way to a six-pack that led to aVangling into his dress pants. A deep scar carved a trail across the right side of his chest with smaller imperfections spread out around it. Elizabeth ran her fingers over the long-healed wound, then leaned forward to kiss the length of thescar.
Next, she turned her attention to the tattoo on his arm—a lion perched on top of a crown. That, too, she kissed, savoring the taste of him. Up to his neck, then a quick nip to his ear, and Alexandergroaned.
When she reached for the button on his pants, he captured her hands. “That’s enough for now, Elizabeth,” he said as he returned her hands to her sides. “Do notmove.”
Alexander sunk his fingers into her tresses, pulling one hair pin after another from her golden locks. Once her curls fell in gentle waves across her shoulders, he fastened the blindfold over her eyes. The loss of her sight made her heart race, but his presence, his heat reassured her. “Comfortable?”
“Yes,” shebreathed.
He cupped the back of her neck, then brushed a tender kiss to her lips. “I will never leave you alone while blindfolded or bound, but I won’t always be touching you. All you have to do is say my name, and I’llanswer.”
Elizabeth drew in a sharp breath as he released her and tried to listen for him. “Okay.”
Another gasp as he guided her hips forward. Settling deeper into the silky pillows, she tried not to panic when he pressed her left palm to his lips, then stretched her arm over her head. After two snaps, he tugged on whatever bound her to the headboard, and then she couldn’t move her arm atall.
“Still green,chérie?”
Was she? After she tested the restraint again, she said, “Yes.” But then he disappeared, and she tried to swivel her head, hoping to catch some glimpse of him, even though the blindfold obscured every bit of light in the room. “Al—”
As she’d started to call his name, he lifted her other wrist, then kissed her palm. “I told you I wouldn’t leave you. Trust me, Elizabeth. I will never lie toyou.”
“I’m sorry,” she whispered as he secured her other wrist and caressed herarm.
“Shhh. No apologies for this. You are doing very well.” He brushed his lips against hers, and she strained to keep contact with him when he pulled away. Gentle fingers drew her panties down her legs. “I love your body, Elizabeth.” The bare skin of her mound became his singular focus for a brief moment, and then he made a satisfiedmmmsound. “So smooth. Sosweet.”
Her hips moved of their own accord, and Elizabeth tried to dig her heels into the mattress for purchase. “Please,” she whispered. “I can’t hold still when you dothat.”
Tiny spasms made her thighs tremble as he kissed a trail down to her knee. “Are you asking me to bind yourlegs?”
“Yes,” she cried as he danced those talented fingers over herfolds.
“You are a joy, Elizabeth. But I won’t restrain your legs yet. Wriggle to your heart’scontent.”
Kisses traced a burning trail down one thigh and back up, and his hands held her hips steady as he slipped his tongue very briefly between her slick folds. She cried out and quaked uncontrollably, but he quickly withdrew and kissed down the otherthigh.
His weight left the bed, and a drawer opened. “This is something I don’t keep in my cabinet. It also contains no silk, but I think you’ll enjoy it.” He pressed a firm, cool piece of rubber to her channel. A vibrator? It slipped inside her and pressed against her G-spot. Another piece of it rested against her clit. Even the subtle pressure was almost too much. She gave a tiny moan and shuddered in her restraints. A click and the vibrator buzzed to life. Elizabeth yelped. “Oh God. I…I can’t.Please.”
Alexander crushed his lips down on hers and swept his tongue into her mouth. She moaned into his kiss, writhing, desperate to release the pressure gathering inside of her. As she thought she couldn’t possibly hold on another second, the vibrator shut off and shewhimpered.
His hands smoothed down her sides and slid behind her back. He deftly unhooked the dozen little catches of her corset and tossed the material away. Through the haze of her body’s arousal, she was dimly aware that she was completely naked other than Alexander’ssilks.
He palmed her breasts and squeezed them gently. “Perfect.”
She’d always thought her breasts were too small, but Alexander cherished them, stroking and pinching, kissing and licking, sucking and biting. Shocks of pain and pleasure zipped through her body. His mouth fastened around one nipple and the vibrator started up again. She flew towards the edge, so ready to let go with her orgasm, but then the vibrator stopped, leaving her panting. His lips gave a single parting kiss to her right nipple, and he moved back on the bed a few inches. Her chest heaved as she fought forbreath.
“Please, Alexander. Ican’t. . .”
“You keep saying that, Elizabeth. I think you can. Now, I have one last little trick up my sleeve before I make you come. This is something I very much enjoy.” He sucked on a nipple until the tender bud was firm. Then, a searing pain consumed her. Her hips bucked, her ass came off the bed, and she screamed as the sensation tore through her, down to herpussy.
“Yellow! Oh God,yellow.”
Alexander slid his fingers into her channel and brushed his lips against her ear. “Breathe,chérie. The clamp is on the lightest setting. I have to attach the other one before wecontinue.”
