Roni could so easily see the love Jake still had for his wife. Some part of her worried she’d never be able to hold a candle to the woman. “I’m sorry, Jake. She must have been very special.”
He nodded. “She was, but life goes on, Roni. It’s time for me to let the past go and take a chance.” He paused, before adding, “So, do I meet Dr. Smart’s qualifications?”
Heat filled Roni’s cheeks. “It would seem I’ll need more time to properly assess the situation before I can give an accurate answer to that question.”
He tilted his head to one side. “And you think you deserve more time with me, huh?”
Butterflies flitted around in her stomach. Would he send her home after all? “Probably not,” she answered honestly. “You
should kick me out on my butt. I’d rather you didn’t though.”
“Kicking you out is no longer an option,” he murmured.
“What would you like to do then, Jake?”
“I’d like to make love to you, princess.” He leaned close and kissed her. His lips caressed hers in a touch so light she wasn’t sure she hadn’t dreamed it. “I’d like to be the man who takes you to the barbeque tomorrow,” he murmured, as he kissed his way over her chin to her neck. “I want to be the guy who proves to you that sex is hell of a lot more enjoyable when you’re with someone you love.”
“Love?” she squeaked. No one had said anything about love.
He sat back, a mischievous gleam in his eyes. “Eventually. For now, how about we start with a few dates.”
“Dates,” she repeated. “Okay, I can do dates.”
Jake looked down at her chest and her nipples hardened beneath the black vest. “And now that we have that settled, how about you tell me what this hot little outfit is all about?”
Ah, the outfit. “You promised I’d get a chance to be in control. Remember?” Damn, her voice shook and that wasn’t how Mistress Roni played. Then again, her heart had never been involved before either.
He reached out and smoothed his knuckles back and forth over the zippers across her breasts. It took an incredible amount of willpower not to lean into his touch.
“Mmm,” he whispered, “so I did.”
“D-does that mean you’ll let me?”
Jake slowly pulled his hand back. With quick efficiency he scooted the coffee table to one side of the room before going to his knees in front of her. His powerful thighs spread wide and his impressive erection filled out the well-worn jeans. He winked and lowered his head. “As you wish, Mistress.”
Roni’s temperature spiked as she stared at Jake. His head was appropriately lowered and his arms were behind his back. Total surrender. Her clit throbbed. Slowly, Roni came to her feet and walked to the coffee table where she’d placed her black bag earlier. She reached down and slid the zipper back, and pulled out the riding crop she had tucked inside. When she came back to Jake, she was pleased to note he hadn’t looked up. He had to be curious, but his gaze stayed obediently on the floor.
“I like you on your knees, Jake. It turns me on.” Roni waited to see if he’d reply, but he stayed silent. The only indication that he’d heard her was in the flexing of his biceps. “You show remarkable restraint, pet. If I didn’t know better I’d think you’d done this before.”
“Permission to speak, Mistress.”
Roni could barely contain her gasp of surprise. She’d expected this particular game to be new for Jake, but his submissive pose and words told a different story. Jealousy stole through her at the thought of Jake submitting to other women before her. As unfair as it was, she didn’t like the idea that she wouldn’t be his first mistress. “Permission granted,” she said, unable to contain the bite in her voice.
“I’ve done some Internet research this week. I wanted to be properly prepared for you.”
Her heart soared. So he hadn’t done this before. This would be his first time submitting to a woman. Roni’s pussy creamed at the thought of giving him his first taste of pleasure at the hands of a dominatrix.
“You’ve pleased me well, pet. I think you deserve a treat for your hard work.” Roni placed the riding crop beneath Jake’s chin and forced his gaze to hers. Flames of desire licked over her breasts and pussy. His hot, savage gaze ate her alive. Roni had to swallow and take several breaths before she could speak without trembling. “Unzip my tits.”
Jake grinned. Slowly reaching up with both hands, he pulled the zippers back, revealing the swollen orbs. Her nipples tingled when his fingertips accidentally brushed across them.
“Good boy. Now, pull them out and suck my nipples.”
“My pleasure, Mistress.” He growled low as one large hand slid inside the opening he’d created and tugged. Once her breast was framed by the shiny black material, he did the same with the other. Roni moaned as cool air brushed her nipples. She kept her gaze on him as he leaned forward and licked. She cupped the back of his head, aching and ready for him already.
“I didn’t say lick. Suck it like you were told, pet,” she demanded in an attempt to keep to the erotic game they were playing.
Jake hummed, then opened his mouth and sucked her nipple into his hot, wet mouth. Roni grabbed a handful of his hair and held him to her, loathe to let him go anytime soon. His tongue stroked the hard bud and her clit throbbed, as if begging for his touch. As he moved to the other breast, suckling hard, arrows of sensation ripped through her.
