He hid his amusement. “Are you turning me down?”
He knew she wouldn’t be able to resist.
“I’ll still have a safeword?”
“Of course.”
“All right,” she said hesitantly.
“Then let’s see what we can do to get you back to sleep.”
“I really won’t be able to sleep again. I already told you that I rarely sleep more than a few hours a night. I haven’t in years.”
He frowned. “That’s not healthy. Has no one ever tried to help you with that? Clint? Kent?”
“When I was younger, they took me to sleep specialists.”
“But not recently?”
“I, um, might hide how much it affects me.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Meaning you’ve been lying to them.”
She bit at her lip, looking at him hesitantly. “Yes, I guess.”
“That’s very naughty, little girl. Lying will get you into big trouble. But since you haven’t lied to me, I won’t be punishing you for it. However, I am going to look into what I can to help you sleep. Because I don’t like the idea of you only getting a few hours. This also means you will definitely be having naps for the foreseeable future. Whether you are big or Little.”
She dropped her lower lip in a pout, but he kept his face stern.
“Now, let’s see what I can do about getting you to sleep.” He gave her a heated look. “I’ve been dying to touch you again, baby. To kiss you, taste you, make you scream with pleasure.”
She blushed. He gazed down at her intently as he rolled her to her back. Then he pushed her nightgown up her body, slowly kissing his way up her stomach until her breasts were bared. He moved over her, pressing her legs apart so he could nestle between them. He placed his forearms on the mattress on either side of her before lowering his mouth to her nipples.
Holy shit. That felt so good.
“You’re so wet.
Are you aroused, baby?”
“When aren’t I aroused around you?” she muttered. Whoops. She froze as she realized what she just said. He leaned up and stared down at her. Then he gave her the best gift she’d ever received.
He smiled at her.
A genuine Zeke Jonas smile. They were a rare and beautiful thing.
“Glad to know that, princess. Because I feel the same damn way.”
Her clit throbbed; her whole body was on fire. He licked at the tight nipple before gently biting down and tugging on it. She swore she felt that tug on her clit. Then he kissed his way over to her other nipple, worshipping it as well.
Fuck if this was a taste of what she had coming when he finally got around to giving her that punishment, then she was in so much trouble.
So. Much. Trouble.
Just when she was about to beg him to stop, he started kissing her stomach. He licked his way down to the top of her mound. “Have you lost weight, princess?”
She stiffened. She’d noticed the waistband on her pants were a little loose. She hadn’t had much of an appetite since she’d. . .since she’d told him to go. But how did he know that?
He’d scooted down the bed so now he lay fully between her legs, which were pushed well apart so he could see everything.
