“Why not?” He cocks his head. “Are you waiting for someone?”

He shifts closer to me, and my heart skips a beat. The way he’s leaning closer reminds me of Filippo, and my chest suddenly feels heavy.

I can’t breathe. I can’t say anything. I can’t wave at the guards for help. It’s as if my body isn’t working anymore.

“She is,” a familiar voice says behind the guy’s back.

Blue!

The guy pulls away from me and lifts an eyebrow at Blue, who just glares at him.

“Fine then.” The guy must’ve decided that he doesn’t want to confront Blue, so he struts away.

“Everything okay, Sunset?” Blue asks, looking me up and down.

“Yeah.” I give him a small smile, my shoulders relaxing. “Thanks.”

Sunset? He’s calling me by my safe word? That’s kind of cute.

Blue looks huge and menacing when he comes to stand right next to me, but I know he’s not going to hurt me. He’s like my guardian angel or something. I glance down at his exposed arms, and a thrill surges through me. Memories of his hands caressing me fill my head. I should stick to my own rules and walk away from him, but I don’t want to.

“How about something different tonight?” Blue whispers, and goosebumps appear on my skin as his lips brush against my ear.

His voice turns even lower and more seductive as he tells me all about his idea. My insides clench. Oh hell, that sounds so hot.

“What do you think?” he asks.

“Perfect, but without the second and third thing.” I’m up for a lot of things, but not everything.

“Sure.” He gives me a smile, and his hand snakes around my waist. “Let’s go.”

We head to his room, and as soon as we’re through the door, Blue grabs me and presses me against the wall. His hand caresses my cheek, his eyes gazing into mine.

“I missed you,” he says.

I bite down on my lip, but I can’t fight off a smile. His words make me so happy and warm inside. But this is just sex. It’s only mindless fun. I can’t let it be anything else, and besides, it would be crazy.

I don’t know anything about this guy. Not his name. Not what he does for a living. Not what he likes and dislikes. Justbecause I love the way he touches me and makes me feel doesn’t mean anything.

Blue’s lips find mine, and I get lost in his hard kiss. His mouth pushes against mine as his fingers curl in my dress. I let out a gasp as he yanks my sleeveless dress down my body. His lips are on mine again, and his hands explore my body.

He tugs and pulls at my underwear until I’m completely naked. His hand slides between my legs, gliding over my pussy and teasing me. Then he steps away from me and looks me up and down as if he’s studying a piece of art.

I should feel vulnerable because he’s still fully dressed, but I don’t. Another thrill rushes through me as his hungry gaze takes me in. He removes his tie, which I haven’t even noticed, because I was just too busy being overwhelmed by his presence.

Then he pulls me to him and places the tie over my eyes. My heart rate quickens in excitement as he lifts me into his arms and lowers me onto the bed. The tie is very thick and I can’t see a thing. All I can do is lie there, with my head on a soft pillow, and listen.

Blue moves around. With anyone else, I’d be worried they were planning something unsavory. But not with him. He’d never hurt me. I don’t know why I’m so sure, but he just seems like that kind of guy. Or maybe I have really low standards.

Blue catches my wrist and attaches a padded cuff to it, his grip gentle. Very quickly, my wrists and ankles are tied up and I’m spread-eagled on the bed.

Blue runs his fingers over my breasts and down my stomach. He keeps exploring my body, touching and feeling. My soft moans fill the room as my body gets hotter. Blue moves away from me, and I’m not sure what he’s doing. Something rustles here and there. A cabinet door opens and closes. Then silence.

I strain my ears, but I can only hear my labored breathing. Where is he? What is he doing? Is he just watching me? Whydoes the idea of him just staring at me in silence turn me on so much?

A cold splash of liquid hits my stomach and breasts, making me yelp in surprise. A shiver runs through me just as the bed shifts under Blue’s weight. I groan as he leaves a featherlike kiss just under my belly button, and then he licks a path up my skin, lapping up the liquid.

His tongue keeps trailing up until his mouth closes around my nipple. He gently sucks on my hard bud, teasing and tugging. Then his tongue swirls to my other breast. I writhe and gasp in pleasure as his teeth graze my skin.
