“My turn.” I step forward and place a hand on hers, stilling her. “Tell me, Lex. Do you usually take control in the bedroom, or do your partners?”

Those seafoam eyes are almost black, her pupils wide. I love that I’m the one making her feel that desire, the one testing the limits of her control.

“I do.” Her voice is unsteady as her eyes search mine.

“I thought so,” I whisper. “I know we don’t know each other very well yet, but do you think you could trust me tonight? Let me call the shots?”

Her throat bobs as she swallows. “Yes. I think…I think I like the sound of that.”

“Good girl.” I surge forward and take her face in my hands, pressing my lips to hers.

Her body sways into mine in response, her eyes fluttering closed as she gives herself over to me without hesitation. Fucking hell, yes. More of that. I swipe my tongue against her lips and she opens for me with a moan, pressing her body flush against mine as her arms thread around my waist. I can feel every inch of her, and the rush of having her in my arms is overwhelming. My cock is a fucking steel rod trapped between us, straining toward her.

I release her from the kiss slowly. “Two questions.”

“No,” she whimpers, snaking a hand up around my neck to pull me back down.

Greedy little thing.

I let her direct the kiss for a moment, then reach down and swat her ass sharply. She gasps, and her eyes fly open as she gapes up at me. I look for a hint of accusation or offense but find none.

“Questions,” I repeat, pressing my thumb to her chin and holding her in place with insistent fingers. “What’s your stance on condoms?”

“Condoms?” She blinks. “Condoms are a yes.”

“Noted. Now, where are the stairs?”

“Around the corner–”

I bend and hoist her onto my shoulder, heading in the direction she pointed.

“Linc!” she shrieks, giggling.

“Hush, I’ve got you.”

“Linc, put me down!”

I crack my palm against her ass with more force than the last time and groan when I feel her whole body go pliant in my arms.

“I’m in charge, remember?” I rub a soothing hand over her as I climb the stairs. “If you do as you’re told, I promise I’ll make it worth it. Can you do that for me?”

Her whimper is barely audible, but I catch the “yes” she gasps out as I turn the corner and stride into the first bedroom I see. I flip her over my shoulder and onto the bed. She looks like a dream, all flushed with her hair in disarray. There’s something deeply satisfying about seeing her in such a state, so far from the perfectly put-together CEO.

She shifts on the bed, her thighs pressing together. I tsk and put a hand on her knee, smiling when she freezes.

“That’s it,” I croon. “When I’m in charge, I’m going to tell you what to do, what not to do…when to come. If you don’t listen, there will be consequences.”

Her eyes flare at the mention of punishment, and I breathe slowly through my nose to keep myself under control.

“You going to spank me again, Linc?” she asks, her pulse thundering in the hollow of her throat.

I run a soothing hand along her leg as I nod. “Spanking is one method of punishment, yes. But it can also be fun on its own.”

She bites her lip and squirms again. I smirk as I kneel on the bed.

“Do you like the sound of that? Does the thought of me smacking that sweet ass make you wet? Do you want to let me have my way with you, Lex?”

She rolls her lips between her teeth and nods. I fucking knew it. I reach up and grab the waistband of her leggings, tugging gently. She complies immediately, lifting her hips to make it easier for me to peel her leggings and underwear off her body.
