“Can I sit on Master’s lap?”

Gods, I’m done.

She’s inconsistent as hell, but she’s trying, and her pattern is the same. She gets stuck and then unexpectedly leaps forward, catching me by surprise. My cock strains against my jeans, desperate to grind against her, and it would be rude not to reward her for being a good little pet.

“Good girl,” I praise her unequivocally and she beams. “Sit on Master’s lap.”

She clambers over my thighs, all shaky and uncertain. It’s adorable watching her try to get comfortable, unaware that she won’t get relief until she gets more attention. She’s fidgeting and every few seconds she brushes my cock and the momentary release is a fucking godsend.

I lean forward and slide my hand up her neck, gripping her hair and taking control.

“Stay still, lea. You wanted to sit on Master’s lap. Fucking sit on Master’s lap.”

I pull her down onto my lap and she’s sitting right on my throbbing cock. I move and she moans, enjoying it as I rub against her. My mate is responsive and when I rock my hips, she gasps and then moves with me while pretending she isn’t.

She’s enjoying this, but she’s still afraid of something.

“Don’t overthink this.”

Ivy lifts her hands and places them on my shoulders, looking me straight in the eye. It’s hot. Fucking hot. She’s finding her confidence and all I need to do is encourage her.

I pull her closer until her lips almost meet mine and she’s straining to kiss me. Her breath floats over my skin and her scent breezes into my nose, and I’ll devour her in every way she’s ready for.

“Ask me.” I pause. “Nicely.”

“Please, Master.”

My lips crash onto hers and I’m not gentle. My tongue dives into her mouth and I consume every part of it, stealing her breath and refusing to let her go. Ivy moans and her tongue fights to keep up with me, trying to match my movements, eventually surrendering and letting me have my way without protest.

She arches her back and my hands slide up her sides, pulling her top up and stroking the soft skin on her stomach. I haul her sweat top over her head and expose her perfect tits. They’re round and full, and her nipples even press against the lace of her bra.

I suck one into my mouth and she squeals.

“Fuck,” she screams.

I tap her ass, and she jumps, pulling her nipple against my teeth and causing herself a little more pain.

“Language, lea.”

She groans and my hands yank her sweatpants off her and she’s wearing the tiniest lace underwear. She’s too thin and it’s my fault. Fuck, she’s beautiful. I’m losing control and my mouth starts exploring all the lines and curves of her body, licking and sucking her silky skin—and she’s loving every touch, every stroke.

Her body writhes for me and her head tips back as she surrenders to my touch and the pleasure it’s giving her. Ivy’s losing herself and it’s good. She’s relaxing, enjoying this, and experiencing the thrill of everything I can give her. Only I can give her. She’s not had this before and I helped her through it last time, reducing her inhibitions and pleasing her with my venom.

This time, I won’t resort to that.

This time, Ivy deserves better.

I tear her underwear off and she shrieks. She’s excited and my fingers slip through her. Fuck, she’s soaking and her clit is already swollen. I find it and she mutters a moan that drives me insane. My cock’s fucking weeping and the need to come with her, at least next to her, is too overwhelming to resist this time.

I lift her into the air as I stand and she squeals again. Every goddamn noise she makes drives my desire, and I ignore her feigned protests as I carry her to the bed. I lay her down slowly, gently, so she knows I have control, as she does if she wants this to end.

“Properly, lea. We’re doing this properly.”

She blinks and her eyes fill with wonder. I kneel between her legs and pull her knees apart. Ivy’s nervous and her nails dig into her stomach as she clutches herself.

“This stops if you say. One word and it stops, lea.”

I’ve never let my pets have a brake. Never let them have that safety. I’ve taken and known they would enjoy it, using blood or venom to ensure they comply. But not with her, not like that.
