His tongue circles slowly before he sucks me back into his mouth.

“I was thinking maybe I could finish the dress upstairs.”

“After.”

“We’re doing this right now? Right this second now?”

“Yes.”

He lifts his head.

“Are you complaining?”

“…No.”

“That’s what I thought.”

He kisses me.

Hard.

His tongue pushes between my lips while one hand slides into my hair and grips close to my scalp.

I bite his lower lip hard.

Luciano pulls back.

A tiny bead of blood appears against his mouth.

His tongue drags over it slowly.

His eyes flash. “You want pain, princesa?”

I bite my own lip and shake my head. “No.”

“That’s what I thought.”

The dark satisfaction in his voice makes me shiver.

“Bite me again, and I’ll bend you over my fucking knee until you learn to behave.”

Another shiver rolls through me.

Luciano laughs quietly. “So fucking filthy.”

“Shut up.”

“Hands.”

I look at the rope. Then at him.

“Oh.”

“Yes. Oh,” he mocks.

I hold my hands out.

Luciano winds the soft rope around my wrists, securing them together in front of me. He checks the restraint once, sliding his fingers beneath it before his gaze returns to mine.
