Page 51 of Ruthless Desire

"Do you trust me?" he asks, his voice low and hypnotic.

I swallow hard, my pulse racing. This is it - the point of no return. If I say yes, I'm giving myself over to him completely, surrendering control in a way I never have before.

"Yes," I whisper, closing my eyes as he secures the blindfold.

Darkness envelops me, heightening every other sense. I feel Dante's breath hot against my ear as he speaks. "Good girl. Now, let me show you pleasure like you've never known."

My heart races as I nod, both thrilled and terrified by what might come next.

"Every sensation will be heightened now," he murmurs, his breath hot against my ear. "Just feel."

I shiver as my world narrows to the sound of Dante's breathing, the whisper of fabric as he moves, and the electricity in the air reacting to the static energy in my veins. His fingers trail down my arms, feather-light, leaving goosebumps in their wake. I gasp when they brush over my nipples, already pebbling with arousal.

He doesn't linger, moving lower, skimming over my ribs, my stomach, until his hands settle on my hips, grounding me.

"Lie down," he instructs, his voice a soothing command.

I comply, stretching out on the bed. The cool sheets contrast with the heat of my skin, and I tremble with the effort of keeping still, of trusting him completely.

The bed dips as Dante joins me, his presence a comforting weight beside me. I feel him lean over, his breath warm on my neck, followed by the soft press of his lips. He kisses a path down my throat, pausing to suck gently at my pulse point, eliciting a breathy moan.

"Shh," he soothes, his hands gliding over my body in slow, tantalizing strokes. "Just relax and let me take care of you."

I nod, biting my lip to hold back the whimpers threatening to spill out. Every touch, every kiss is magnified in the darkness, sending jolts of pleasure through me.

Dante's hands disappear for a moment, and I hear the faint clink of ice in a glass. My breath catches, anticipation making my heart race. The first touch of ice against my heated skin is a shock, a sharp gasp escaping my lips.

"That's it, " Dante murmurs approvingly. "Sing for me, temny voron."

He trails the ice down my chest, circling each nipple until they're achingly hard. The cold is a stark contrast to the heat building inside me, and I squirm, unable to stay still.

Dante chuckles softly, his free hand pressing down on my hip to hold me in place. "Patience, solnyshko."

The ice moves lower, tracing patterns over my stomach, my hips, dipping between my thighs. I moan as he presses it against my clit, the sensation so intense I nearly come apart right then.

"Easy," he whispers, removing the ice and replacing it with his fingers, warm and insistent. He slides one finger inside me, then another, stretching me slowly as his thumb circles my clit with agonizing precision.

"Dante," I gasp, my hands fisting in the sheets. "Please, I need—"

"I know what you need," he interrupts, his voice a dark promise. "And I'll give it to you. But first, I want to hear you beg for it."

I swallow hard, pride warring with the desperate need coursing through me. But the latter wins out, as it always does with Dante.

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling. "Please, Dante, I need you. I need you inside me."

"Good girl," he praises, his fingers sliding out of me. "But not yet."

I whimper in protest, but he silences me with a kiss, his lips devouring mine. The taste of him, the feel of his tongue against mine, sends a fresh wave of arousal through me.

When he pulls back, I'm panting, my body strung tight with need. I hear the rustle of clothing, the sound of his belt being unbuckled, and my heart leaps into my throat.

The bed shifts again as he positions himself between my legs, the head of his cock teasing my entrance. He leans over me, his breath hot against my ear.

"Who do you belong to?" he asks, his voice a low growl.

"You," I breathe, arching up towards him. "I'm yours, Dante. Only yours."

"That's right," he murmurs, and then he's pushing inside me, filling me completely in one smooth thrust.
