She seemed to approve and smiled.

“Now, you’re going to learn more. Are you ready?”

“I was born ready.”

I moved closer, finding it close to impossible to keep a smile off my face. I gripped her jaw, lifting her head slightly. “Then as of now, you will do as I say. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

I swatted her on the butt and she yelped playfully. “Have respect. That’s the first lesson.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Good girl. Now, undress.”

“And what are you going to be doing?” While her question was also playful, my grip on her chin became stern.

“We aren’t playing here. You wanted to learn and in order to do so, you need to understand the rules. Respect for your master at all times is number one. You also need to place your trust in him. And you will do what I say, questioning nothing unless you are highly uncomfortable and I doubt you’ll feel that way today. I’ll ask again. Do you understand?”

It seemed a slight light dawned on her. “Yes, sir.”

I allowed her time and a little privacy to undress. But my hunger was off the charts tonight. She had a way of doing that to me more than I’d experienced before. As if I was a young man and couldn’t control myself.

I took the time to unbutton my cuffs, folding up the sleeves. She was going to experience being fully naked while I remained fully clothed.

To fuck her.

The thought was riveting.

When she lightly cleared her throat, my entire body tensed. Turning around and seeing her was even more special than before. She was just so beautiful in an unassuming way. Nervous, she was still fidgeting, twirling her hair as if the long strands were disturbing her. I needed to taste her more than I needed anything else at this point.

I returned to where I had been, taking her into my arms.

“It’s time you realize you belong to me.” I didn’t give her any time to object, capturing her mouth as I enjoyed doing.

She wiggled in my hold, rising onto her tiptoes. She really was a tiny thing, her lithe body easily molding into mine. The kiss was sweeter somehow, the trust entirely different than engaging in more of a one-night stand.

I swept my tongue inside without reservation, ensuring she knew what I’d just told her was accurate and that I was serious. I’d seen the slight look in her eyes, a hint of apprehension. Of course Joseph had been and still was possessive.

That didn’t matter here. He had nothing to do with this island.

We were perfectly matched and the intimacy we shared was powerful. The scent of her raging desire matched mine. Foreplay had its perks but right now, we were both far too hungry.

After pulling away, I took a deep breath. “Let’s get you settled into the chair.” She didn’t fight me, and in truth, seemed more eager than I would have imagined. I didn’t need to help her. With her long legs, she hopped into position as if she knew exactly what she was doing.

“Hands over your head. Grasp the bar.”

She looked up at the bar and the shackles, which were within centimeters away. I watched her carefully. There was no fear in her eyes, no hint of the terror like I’d seen before. Just wild curiosity. She didn’t hesitate, grabbing the bar and returning her gaze toward me. Her eyes were piercing and I could swear she was doing her best to tempt me or tease just enough I’d become even more dominating.

Without being commanded to do so, she placed her feet in the stirrups.

“Are you going to shackle me?” Oh, her question was not innocent.

My cock was at the aching point. Damn the woman. She could turn on the heat like no other.

“Is that what you’d prefer?”

“I do trust you. You want me to have a real experience. What’s the use if I can move and do what I want to that sexy body of yours?” Even her grin was sly.
