Elizabeth reclined against the pillows and spread her long legs to expose her glistening sex. The scent of her maddened him. How the hell was he supposed to control himself long enough to give her the release she deserved? Alexander grabbed the blindfold from the bedside table and knelt between her legs. He positioned the silk carefully over her eyes, then dipped his head and brushed a soft kiss across herlips.
“Give me your leftwrist.”
She obediently held her hand out in the direction of his voice, and he fastened the cuff securely. The right one followed without a word, and then he used a clamp to lock the two cuffs together. He lifted her bound hands over her head and watched her face for signs ofpain.
“Can you stand this? Is it too much on yourshoulder?”
“I’mokay.”
“If you hurt at all, sayyellow. But otherwise, don’t move unless I give you permission. Do youunderstand?”
“Yes.”
He hooked the clamp to a part of the wrought-iron headboard, cursing himself for not equipping the room with places to secure his restraints. Though he’d never planned on bringing anyonehere.
Once her ankles were cuffed and secured to the bedposts, he kissed the inside of her left knee. The clamp holding her wrists rattled against the headboard, and she keened, trying to shift her hips, remembering his command, and then trying again. Never kissing the same spot twice, Alexander trailed his lips erratically over her body. Her right knee, the top of her left foot, her navel, the curve of her jaw, her rightear.
“Still all right,chérie?”
“Uh-huh.” Her voice was roughened with need, and he purred his satisfaction as he rose to his knees, relishing in the sight of her spread out like a banquet before him. The left nipple clamp slid on with a gentle pop, and Elizabeth cried out and bucked herhips.
“One. If we get to five, I’ll punishyou.”
“Five?” she squeaked. “God.”
“Yes, five. You know my rules now. You no longer need ten. Breathe for me, Elizabeth.” The second clamp elicited another yelp. She tried to hold still, but her entire bodyjerked.
“Two.”
“Hurts. And…I need…uh…”
He tugged the silk between the clamps as he laved his tongue over her clit. “You taste like honey.” Every gasp and quake was a gift. Sliding two fingers deep inside her, he found the bundle of nerve endings he knew she loved. With a moan, she pulled against the ankle restraints and nearly caught him in the chin with her hips. “Three. I am going to enjoy punishingyou.”
“I can’t…please let me come. It’ll be easier then,” shewhimpered.
“Not yet.” He toyed with her clit, enjoying her helpless mewls. Her thighsquivered.
“Can’t…”
He bit her inner thigh hard, sucking the creamy flesh between his teeth while simultaneously yanking on the chain between her breasts. The pain should have stopped her orgasm cold, but instead, she screamed out his name, shuddering and undulating on the mattress as her release consumedher.
Alexander lapped up the essence that flooded from her channel, licking, sucking, and biting long after her quaking had ceased. Each time his tongue touched her, it set off another mini-spasm.
“I couldn’t,” she sobbed. Tears soaked her cheeks, and her head bowed so her chin almost rested on herchest.
“Shhh,” he said as he released her ankles, then her wrists. “You’ll learn how to control your body, Elizabeth. I’m not angry. But in a few minutes, Iwillpunishyou.”
“I was at three.” She tried to raise her head, but too spent, she gave up and fell back against thepillows.
“Four for coming without permission and five because you thrash about quite a lot when you come. Now hush. We’re not done. Not by a long shot.” He grinned and slid up to cover her body with his. A contented sigh escaped her lips as he rubbed her arms in tendercircles.
“While I have you in such a lovely position, I have a question. Have you ever had a man’s cock in yourmouth?”
She sucked in a breath. “Once. It didn’t gowell.”
“You gagged?” He kissed her chin and fondled her leftbreast.
Her pale cheeks flushed bright red. “Yes.”
