My feelings for him are confusing.If anything, I’m more attracted to him than I was that first night.It wasn’t an apparition.He’s sexy as fuck, and I swoon over the way he dominates me.
Even though we haven’t crossed any lines this past week, the sexual tension is always in the air.It’s simply unspoken.He also has a tendency to subtly boss me around as if he can’t help himself.
“Time for a lunch break, Kelsey.My office.Now.”
“You get too focused.Set your coffee on the warmer so it doesn’t get cold.”
“Close the door.”
“Sit.”
“Go home, Kelsey.”
The man barks orders night and day, but they’re meant to improve my life.When he places demands on me, he is always in full-on Dom mode.We might as well be at Edge.Telling me to go home at the end of the day comes out with the same tone I’m sure he’d use to command a submissive to kneel and open his pants.I wish he would do that to me.
Maddie glances down at the rest of my body.“This is a new dress, isn’t it?You didn’t have to get something fancy for tonight.It was just a rehearsal.You already bought the maid of honor dress for tomorrow.”
I shrug.“I saw this in a boutique and couldn’t resist.It’s not like I won’t wear it again.”I’m stretching the truth.I searched for this dress for two hours on Wednesday night while Mr.Kennedy was in his meeting.There was no way I was going to Edge without him, even though that’s absurd.I’m the one who said we needed to set up a schedule and not go on the same nights.Madness.
I feel incredibly sexy wearing this.It’s a pale pink silk that hugs my curves perfectly.It has spaghetti straps, the front is cut low, and I’m not wearing anything under it.My heels are a matching shade of pink.It gives the illusion of innocence mixed with extremely tempting sex appeal.
At least that’s how I felt the first time I tried it on and again tonight, and I’m confident Mr.Kennedy agrees, based on the heated gaze he has nailed me with a dozen times.I can feel him looking even when my back is facing him.
I can’t decide if he wants to reprimand me for tempting him or tear my clothes off with one hand.I’m fine either way.
What I hadn’t been prepared for was how horny I would be tonight.I managed to hold it together all week, even though I was never far away from the object of my desire for more than an hour at a time.
But tonight, I’m in his home.I’ve never been here.When Maddie moved into the house I was renting, her father was already in Germany.She hadn’t wanted to stay alone in this pretentious mansion.
I can understand that now that I’m here.It’s huge.Though the kitchen and bathrooms have recently been updated, the structure is older.I love it, but I would be a bit freaked out living here alone.
“I have to pee,” Maddie whispers before turning and gliding from the kitchen.
Taking a deep breath, I try to center myself.This evening has been intense.The wedding party is small.Just me as the maid of honor and Mr.Kennedy as the best man.The irony isn’t lost on me.It was hard to focus on anything the officiant said during the rehearsal.My attention was always on the man opposite me.
I’m losing my grip on reality.There’s no way I can keep up this charade for much longer.Something is going to snap, though I’m not sure what.If I could just shake this infatuation…
I flinch when hands land on my shoulders from behind.I’m so in my head that I don’t hear him sneak up on me.He’s never touched me this intimately, and my breath hitches when his lips come close to my ear.“You’ve been holding that glass of wine for a while.How much have you had to drink?”
His question is odd.I lick my lips.“A few sips,” I whisper.It would seem we’re alone for a moment.Maddie and Myles are probably about to leave.I probably should have left with the reverend.
“Good.You’re tense.”
I swallow.His words are incongruent.I’m not sure what he’s getting at, but I respond, “I would usually be at Edge tonight and tomorrow night.Submitting helps me relax at the end of the work week.I’m…” I don’t know how to finish that sentence.Why am I telling him this?
“That’s what I suspected.You need an impact play session, don’t you?”
“Yes, Sir,” I mumble.Holy shit.Is he…?
“This is the sexiest dress I’ve ever seen in my life, Kelsey, but I think it’s time to take it off, don’t you?”
My breath hitches.I don’t think my cheeks have ever been this hot.I wonder if I’m imagining this.It can’t be real.
He lifts one hand from my shoulder to take the wine glass out of my grip and sets it on the counter.“Go upstairs to my bedroom, remove everything but the heels.When I come up, I want you bent over, hands on the bed, legs wide, head bowed.”
He isn’t asking.He’s instructing me.I start panting.I must be dreaming.
“Now, Kelsey.Your hesitation is going to earn you extra swats.”
