“Good,” Rhys says, speaking louder so I can hear him through the earmuffs. “Now fire again until the mag is empty.” There’s a slight growl to his voice, like he’s still turned on.
While my earlier arousal has lessened, it still simmers between my legs as I bite my lip and do as he says. Thirteen more shots ring out, each getting easier to control until the final few are not only hitting the target, but striking the middle of it. By the time the mag is empty, my limbs are trembling from the rush of adrenaline, and my ears are ringing slightly.
“Safety back on and place the gun back onto the table,” Rhys says after the gun clicks empty.
I blow out a breath and do as he says, being careful of the now hot barrel of the pistol. As soon as the gun is on the table and the ear protection is off, Rhys grabs my hips and pulls me back against his hard chest.
“Do you want your reward for being a good girl, princess?” he growls in my ear.
My breath catches, and heat builds in my core. “What kind of reward?” I ask in a breathy voice.Please be an orgasm. I turn my head to the side, his honey eyes ablaze with desire as our eyes meet.
His lips ghost against my neck, causing goosebumps to break out across my skin. “Hmm. I could give you a kiss.” He leans closer until our lips are almost brushing against each other, a tantalising tease. “OrI could slide my hand into your underwear and play with your perfect cunt until you come all over my fingers. Just like you did for Theo.”
Yes. My pussy clenches hard, and a small moan escapes from my throat. Holy shit. We’re actually doing this; we’re dragging ourselves out of the friend-zone.
His lips quirk upward into a devilish smirk. “Does that sound good? To have my fingers fucking that tight cunt until you’re screaming my name?”
Oh fuck. These men and their filthy mouths are going to be the death of me.
“I want both,” I say boldly, knowing that if he’s anything like Theo, he’ll want to hear me say it. “I want the kiss and your fingers.”
His chest vibrates with a groan as one of his hands leaves my hip to grip my chin. “Greedy girl.” He closes the distance and kisses me.
All thoughts flee my mind as Rhys absolutelydominatesthe kiss, and I get lost in the feel of his mouth against mine. It’s different from the kisses Theo gave me earlier, but no less intoxicating. He thrusts his tongue past my lips to twine with mine in a sensual dance that has every nerve ending in my body lighting up. I moan into his mouth as one of my hands grabs the back of his head while the other wraps around the wrist of his hand clutching my chin.
However, all too soon, he’s pulling back. We’re both panting, and the dark look of desire on his face has my clit throbbing.
“Lace your hands together behind my head and keep them there,” he orders, his voice rough. “You move them away and I stop. Understand, princess?”
I don’t move. “But what if I want to touch you?” I tighten my grip on his hair and push my ass back against the hard, thick erection pressing against me.
He hisses and his expression hardens as he grabs my hand and peels it away from his hair. “No touching. We’re doing this on my terms. Now you can either be a good girl and do as you’re told, or we’re going to stopthis here and you won’t get your reward. And I’ll make sure neither Theo nor Alex give you one either.”
Well, that’s just mean.
I huff. A part of me wants to keep pushing, to see what happens when I finally break his control. But I also want to come on his fingers…
Decisions, decisions.
“You'd better decide quickly,” he warns with an arched eyebrow.
“Fine,” I sigh as I reach up to lace my fingers together behind his head. “I’ll be good.” I can always push him another time, when I’m not so desperate to come with his fingers stretching my pussy.
He snorts softly. “Somehow I doubt that’ll last long.” He taps the inside of my calf with his foot. “Open your legs wider.”
I do as he says, my skin prickling with anticipation as he moves his hands down to the button on my jeans. A quick flick of his fingers and the button pops open.
“You need me to stop, just say and I will. Doesn’t matter why or when, if you want this to stop, it will. Understand?”
I swallow hard and nod. “I understand.”
The slow draw of the zipper as he slides it down is torturous. It takes everything in me not to whine and beg for him to move faster as his hands brush teasingly against my lower stomach. Although I can’t help but tense when those fingers meet the ugly scar that cuts its way across my stomach. Rhys says nothing, he just keeps gently tracing it until I finally relax.
“Every inch of you is beautiful,” he murmurs as he nips and kisses along my neck and jaw, causing my skin to tingle.
I can’t help but make a noise of disagreement. I want to believe him, and maybe one day I will, but that day is not now.
Growling under his breath, Rhys slips his hand into my jeans and underwear and cups my bare pussy. The action is possessive and surprisingly hot, causing wetness to gush from my clenching core. “You and this cunt aremine, and I won’t have you trying to bad mouth what’s mine. Oncewe’ve spoken about limits and expectations, I’ll come up with a suitable punishment if you do it again.”
