I paused to pull away, expose my cock, and slide it along her slit before I let the fabric go and spoke again. “But you can’t feel it inside of you.”

My fingers went back to her clit and pressed into her, just right. “This is all you get, princess.”

I slid two fingers down her folds and let my palm take over on her clit. She thrust up to meet the pressure, her body on fire all over again.

I pressed the length of my fingers against her and ground my palm down in

time to the suction of my lips on her nipple. I let her move this time, and my enjoyment of her sensual slither almost undid me, but I held on. I pressed and sucked until I felt her go tense, and her back arched. A sound tore from her throat, and I held on to her, lost in her beauty as she came again.

She didn’t just lay there this time, though; she moved against her bonds. “Let me please you. Please, sir, let me get you off.”

“And where did you learn such language, my pretty?” I asked, but I didn’t care. I was too busy releasing her hands and tying them in front of her to care.

“I watched videos, sir, a lot of them.” I heard her say, eager now to feel relief from the pressure in my cock and balls.

I stood and pulled at her until she moved down to her knees. I’d wanted it, pictured it, and now, I had to have it. “Well, then you know what I want, don’t you?”

“I admit, sir, I thought this was degrading in those videos, but I want it. I want your cock in my mouth.” She moved her head around, as if she sought the member out.

“This you mean?” I took my cock in my hand and let it slap gently at the right side of her face. She didn’t answer verbally. Instead, she took my cock between her lips eagerly, and I nearly came right then.

Her technique was naïve, but she caught on when I held my hand to her head. She moved on me at first, her hands between us to grip at my shaft. When she moved her hands and started to take more of me in her mouth, when she started to suck instead of just moving up and down, I began to thrust my hips. I’d lost my control then, and she might not realize it yet, but my sub was the master in that moment.

“Stephanie…” I ground out her name, my jaw clenched as I reached for that

moment. I needed to come. I’d pleasured her, fantasized about her, and now, I

needed relief. “Make me come, baby, make me come.”

Her sweet lips, so unpracticed but still so good, gripped at my cock, and when she purred in happiness, I felt my knees go weak. Orgasm hit me, and she didn’t pull away even when I tried to pull at her face. She swallowed every drop of me, like a good girl, and I let her have her way.

EMILY

T he soft buzz of my phone was an insistent noise I couldn’t ignore any

longer, and I opened my eyes. He was asleep behind me, and I smiled,

secretly pleased that he’d stayed with me through the night. I reached for my phone, pushed the mask away, and slid from the bed. I headed to the bathroom and looked at the messages that had kept my phone buzzing for so long.

Trent wanted me to watch the kids; their sitter was sick. Mason wanted me to come watch his too, because they hadn’t found a sitter yet. Kevin wanted me to know that Ember was going on tour again, and would take her daughter with her.

Well, two out of three wasn’t bad.

I found the nightgown from the night before and slipped from the room after I wrote a note on the pad on the bedside table.

Thank you for a wonderful night. Let Roxie know when you want nightnumber two. I look forward to it. -S

I didn’t know what else to say, so I left it at that and went to the room where my clothes had been left for me. I was in a rush to get home to my huge bathtub and memories of the night before. I didn’t think he’d be the kind for morning-afters, so I’d left him to it.

My virginity was intact, but barely, I thought with a smile. He hadn’t even taken my clothes off, yet he’d managed to get me off in so many ways. For a minute, I almost turned the car around and went back. We hadn’t agreed to three days straight, or three off and on; either way, I didn’t have a toothbrush there, but if he wanted me to come back, I would. After I’d had a bath and cleaned up first.

I noticed light bruises on my neck when I glanced in the mirror after I took my clothes off. I smiled, happy because I knew how they got there. They weren’t from violence, far from it.

That made me hum as I slid into the bath filled with hot water and bubbles.

Violence wasn’t something I was normally attracted to. But when I thought about how he’d softly slapped me down there with care to hit just the right spot, with sweet care, I felt desire burn through me. I imagined how it would feel to have that same swift slap on my bottom and squirmed in the tub.

“God, it’s just too much,” I said out loud to nobody. That made me laugh, and I submerged myself.

“But what if he wants some of that other kind? Well, no, he said he didn’t like blood, and those videos I’ve seen of women with dark purple bruises were surely something he steers clear of?” I remembered how he’d touched me with gentle pressure, always gentle.

No, Mr. Dark was a dominant, I couldn’t doubt that, but he wasn’t violent.

Some light slaps, a growl or two, maybe more if we really got into it, but I didn’t think he’d do anything that would really hurt me. And it was only for three days, so we didn’t have very long to delve down the rabbit hole, did we?

I got a text from Roxie a few hours later, so I called her. “Hey, girl, how are you?”

“I’m good. More importantly, how are you?” She sounded cautious, like she

was walking on eggshells.

“I’m really good. Fabulous, in fact.” I laughed and went to the window by the kitchen sink to look out at the world coming to life. “It’s a beautiful Saturday morning, and all is well.”

“Did you … I mean, did he stay within the terms?” I couldn’t believe she was being so bashful, but I appreciated the fact that she was being considerate of my sensibilities.

“You mean did he fuck me? No, it’s part of the contract. But I did ask him

to.” I sighed then, a little sad but also pleased. He was a man of his word, and it also made it a little hot. I had wanted it, but he wouldn’t give it to me.

“Well, what the hell? Did you, you know? At all?” Still cautious, respectful.

“Get off?” I asked bluntly, and I wanted to laugh when she giggled. We were grown women who could barely talk about sex. It was almost funny.

“Yes! Did you?” Excitement entered her voice now, and I wanted to jump up

and down like a schoolgirl.

“So many times!” I said with a lot of feeling. “It was so good, Roxie. I can’t believe I’ve missed out on that for so long now!”

“Well, you don’t have to do without it anymore. He has an appointment tonight, but he’s asked when you’ll be free again.” Roxie sounded like she was pleased with herself, and I couldn’t help but smile.

“Thank you for this. I was hoping to see him tonight, but if he’s busy, I can wait. Um, will he call you when he’s ready?” I didn’t know how this worked. We hadn’t exchanged contact details, and I didn’t want to look desperate.

“Yeah, he’ll call me. Look, go relax, if you aren’t already, and have an easy day. Sex can take a lot out of you, so get some peace for a little while.” Roxie sounded like she wanted to say more, but someone called out that she was needed, and we hung up after a short goodbye.
