“Eyes down.”
She looks confused and opens her mouth to say something, but I put a finger to her lips to silence her. “You speak when I tell you to, do you understand?”
I haven’t taken in her body properly yet, because I don’t want to break our connection. If I do, she’ll either run from me forever or ask questions I can’t answer. As my hands roam her beautiful body, I find out quickly she was completely naked under that tight dress of hers and I hum my appreciation out. Clearly, she’s not as innocent as she makes out.
“Sam,” she starts, but then stops herself, a small frown puckering between her eyebrows. And then, she lowers her gaze. My chest flares in pride at how well she’s doing already.
“Get on your knees,” I say, my voice firm.
Her eyes flit up to me, confusion in them. Her mouth tugs at one side as she tries to decide what to do.
“I won’t ask again, Patience. Now, do as I say or I’ll have to punish you.”
“But why?” she asks innocently. Her insolence should piss me off, but all it does is turn me on even more.
“Because I told you to,” I say calmly. “Unless you want me to fuck that pretty mouth of yours until you gag as I come down your throat, I suggest you get on your knees.”
Her eyes flare, fight and fire coming to life. Just when I think she’s going to slap me and walk away, she lowers to her knees. I swallow the satisfaction as I stare down at her, my hand on top of her head, stroking her hair.
“Hands on your knees, thighs apart, eyes down,” I say calmly, still stroking her hair to soothe her and calm me. I’m about to lose my shit with how much I want her.
I watch as she complies, then I take a step back, unbuttoning my jacket while I walk around her, appreciating every part of her body. She was beautiful fully dressed, but it’s nothing compared to her naked. Her body is better than I could have ever expected. Like it’s been carved from marble—soft curves perfectly proportioned beneath smooth skin.
“You’re beautiful, you know that?” I say, and she glances up at me as I throw my jacket over her vanity stool. “Really beautiful.” I work the buttons of my shirt. I want her to look back down like I told her to, but I like the feel of her heated gaze on me as she watches me undress.
Placing my shirt on top of my jacket, I kick off my shoes, then work the zipper on my pants, letting my heavy cock be free of them. Her throat bobs as she swallows, her heated stare roaming over my body and landing on my swelling cock. I have to rethink my threat of fucking her mouth because she’s practically salivating as she stares at it.
I glance around her bedroom for something I can use, a toy we can play with. The fun we’d have if we were in my house. I pick up her hairbrush from the vanity and smooth the back of it across the palm of my hand. It’s no paddle, but it will suffice, for now.
“Stand up,” I say, and she stares warily from me to the hairbrush before gradually getting to her feet.
“What’s that for?” she asks, her eyes wide.
“I told you not to speak,” I reply. “Now, you’ll have to be punished.”
If she wasn’t turned on before, she is now. Her cheeks flush, the pinkness stretching down her neck to her chest. Her nipples are like little pink bullets. I reach over to play with one of them, feeling the hard bud beneath my fingertips. I gently roll it between my thumb and index finger. She whimpers, and my eyes slam to hers.
“Quiet.”
I lean down, sucking the nipple into my mouth as my hands find her ass and squeeze the soft flesh there. She moans again, and I release her nipple and look into her face. My breathing is ragged, my chest rising and falling in anticipation of everything to come. She’s not like anyone I’ve ever been with. They were always eager, excited. Patience seems scared and confused. It’s enough to give me pause.
“Are you okay?” I ask.
She nods, and I frown.
“Answer me,” I press, my tone turning darker.
“You told me to be quiet,” she says, her eyes pleading.
I chuckle and lean into her again. “Yes, I did. But now you can speak. Are you okay?”
“I’m confused.”
“About me?”
She shakes her head. “About me.”
I frown again.
