Part II 3(14/22)

of it, baby, but I do want to mess with you and these

sheets.”

My body practically convulses.

“I want to tie you up.”

Oh. “Okay,” I whisper.

“Just your hands. To the bed. I need you still.”

“Okay,” I whisper again, incapable of anything more.

He strolls over to me, not taking his eyes off mine.

“We’ll use this.” He takes hold of my robe sash and

with delicious, teasing slowness, releases the bow, and

gently pulls it free of the garment.

My robe falls open while I stand paralyzed under his

heated gaze. After a moment, he pushes the robe off my

shoulders. It falls and pools at my feet so that I’m standing

naked before him. He strokes my face with the backs of

his knuckles, and his touch resonates in the depths of my

groin. Bending, he kisses my lips briefly.

“Lie on the bed, face up,” he murmurs, his eyes

darkening, burning into mine.

I do as I’m told. My room is shrouded in darkness

the head of my bed. He pulls it tight so my left arm is

flexed above me. He then secures my right hand, tying the

sash tightly.

When I’m tied-up, staring at him, he visibly relaxes. He

likes me tethered. I can’t touch him this way. It occurs to

me that none of his subs would ha一ve touched him either—

me that none of his subs would ha一ve touched him either—

and what’s more, they would never ha一ve the opportunity

to. He would ha一ve always been in control and at a

distance. That’s why he likes his rules.

He climbs off me and bends to give me a quick peck

on the lips.
