My kitten never disappoints.
I make sure to lick Ellie clean before I kiss my way back up her body. She’s flushed and panting by the time I get to her face.
“How was that? Did I hurt you?”
“No, Kayne,” she answers a little starry eyed.
“Good girl.” I grin upside down at her. She smiles back.
I pull Ellie up. “Hungry?”
“Yes, Kayne.” Her answer is more playful than serious. I like that tone so much better.
I sit down in the chair and haul Ellie onto my lap. I tug on her little diamond chain with approval. “I think I’ll keep this on you.”
“Jett said you would like it.” She lifts her shoulder to her cheek, half flirty, half shy.
She’s never responded to me that way before. It makes my insides flip.
“Jett knows me pretty well,” I divulge.
“I’m discovering that.”
I feed Ellie a decadent dinner of duck a l’orange. She in turn feeds me back. I’ve never had a woman feed me before, and Ellie looks like she’s enjoying it just as much as I am, giggling when I nip her fingers and moaning when I French kiss food from her mouth.
“Tell me one of your dreams, Ellie.”
“I want to see paradise,” she answers as I kiss her shoulder. Then her demeanor altogether changes—she withdraws and looks away. Shit.
“Hey.” I draw her face back to mine. I know what’s made her upset. She thinks she’s owned and her freedom is gone. It’s the truth. And that’s the way it has to stay, for now.
“It’s only ever going to be a dream,” she says, her voice small and discouraged.
“Don’t, Ellie,” I respond sterner than I mean to. “Don’t ruin tonight,” I beseech her.
“Yes, Kayne,” she submits.
I shake my head. I don’t want to lose playful Ellie. I cup her face firmly, meaningfully. “Cupcake,” I whisper against her mouth, right before I claim it.
When I’m done licking, kissing, and sucking her, I lift Ellie into my arms.
“Bed.”
She doesn’t protest. She looks beat, which is totally my fault. I lay her down, unroll her thigh highs, and remove her shoes. I leave on the diamond jewelry. Then I hook her back on her leash. Every time I see her lying here collared and chained to the bed, it does insane, indescribable things to me. My loins actually throbs.
I crawl next to her and rest my head on her chest, wrapping her tightly in my arms.
“Are you staying?” She sounds surprised. I know why that is. It will be the first time I spend an entire night with her.
“If you don’t mind.” I nuzzle my face against her soft skin.
“No.” She yawns softly, snuggling up to me. Just like she did that night at Mark’s party. It felt good then, it feels even better now.
“Sleep,” I instruct.
And in no time at all, she is.
I WAKE UP TO KAYNEwrapped snugly around me and sunlight pouring into the room. Morning already.
