Luciano’s palm follows, smoothing over the same place.

“Color.”

“Green.”

His lips brush my shoulder. “Good.”

The next strike lands across my ass with a little more force. Then the other side. Heat begins to spread beneath my skin.

He comes around in front of me and trails the suede over my breasts again. The tails flick across my nipples, soft at first, then hard enough to pull a gasp from me.

It doesn’t hurt the way I expected.

The warmth sinks deeper, gathering between my thighs until I press them together without thinking.

Luciano’s eyes drop.

“You like it.”

“I haven’t decided.”

He moves behind me again.

The flogger lands across the backs of my thighs, firmer this time, and a moan slips out before I can swallow it.

“Your body has.”

Asshole.

He alternates the soft tails with the flat of his palm, letting the heat build across my thighs and ass. Then the flogger sweeps around my hips, skims the sensitive crease where my leg meets my body, and brushes between my legs.

My knees nearly give out.

Luciano steps in close behind me. His bare chest presses against my back while the flogger trails one final path over my ass.

“Look at you,” he murmurs against my neck. “All these pretty pink marks. Taking it so well for me.”

His cock presses hard against the small of my back. The chains keep my arms above me and my chest open as he reaches around to cup one breast. His thumb drags over my sensitive nipple.

The needy sound that comes out of me is pathetic.

“Please.”

“Not yet.”

He keeps the flogger in one hand while the other moves over me. He pinches my nipple, rolls it between his fingers, then slides his hand down my stomach.

His palm cups my pussy from the front.

Two fingers part me, gathering the wetness there while the flogger lands across the tops of my thighs.

I shake against him.

“Luciano.”

“I know, princesa.” His voice has gone rough against my ear. “I can feel how badly you want it.”

He drops the flogger.
