She wasn’t a sub and she didn’t know the rules. And she was just attacked a week ago. Maybe she liked him taking control, but she wasn’t prepared for his rougher side.
There were times when he found Hooks and Cuffs too confining. The rules and negotiating itched at him. Sometimes he wanted someone who trusted him fully, who knew that he would always look after them.
For that, he’d probably have to be in a relationship.
Not happening.
“Yes.”
“Yes, your nipples are hard?” he asked.
“Yes, they’re hard. They’re sore.”
“Are they?” he drawled.
She nodded, sticking out her lower lip in a pout. “Hurts.”
“Poor baby. Do you need me to make them feel better?”
“That would only be fair since you’re the one making them ache.”
“Am I? Should I kiss them and make them all better?”
“Yesss,” she replied.
“If I do anything to upset or scare you, girl, then you stop me immediately.”
“I will,” she promised.
“That’s a good girl.” He ran a finger along her lip and then down over her chin and neck. “And if there’s something you want, you’ll tell me that too.”
“Really?”
“Why would that surprise you? You don’t think I want to make you feel good?”
“I’ve never had a man ask me what I want.”
“Then you haven’t been with the right sort of men.” He ran his finger back and forth over the top of her breasts, just above her neckline. “Like this dress, girl. No purple shoes this time?”
“No. I didn’t want to risk getting them dirty again. They’re a pain to clean.”
He narrowed his gaze, then lightly grasped her chin, careful not to hold on too tight as he tilted her head back. He didn’t grasp her neck the way he wanted. That would definitely terrify her. “Did you take a taxi here?”
“Yes.”
“Straight to the door?”
“Yep. And I was going to get one to pick me up right outside when I left.”
“Makes me fucking hot to hear that you were looking out for your safety, girl.”
She grinned. “It does? That’s kind of weird.”
“I don’t want you to be harmed. Thinking of you getting hurt is a surefire way to make my dick limp.”
“Well, we don’t want that. Nobody wants a limp dick.”
Amusement filled him. “Well, sometimes a limp dick comes in handy. Makes it easier to take a piss.”
