"How wonderfully ingenious, Master!"
And for the first time since their meeting, his pet bestowed on him his first glimpse of her smile.
It was a captivating sight, but also one that was strangely bittersweet. It had his cock swelling in girth under his breeches even as his chest tightened with something akin to pain. But most of all, it reminded him of the things he had yet to tell her—-
"How shall I let you know when I wish to participate in such activities, milord?"
Mother of Hell.
All good intentions and sensible thoughts were thrown out of the window the moment he understood what she was asking.
"You do not have to say such a thing if you find it improper," he managed to say. "Perhaps a nonverbal cue would be better, such as if you were to bite your lip for at least three seconds, then—-" The marquis' lips curved. No need to say anything else, with his pet already biting her lip.
"That is enough, milady," he said softly, not wanting her to accidentally bruise herself. "The message has been effectively conveyed."
His pet gifted him with another enticing glimpse of her smile. "What next then, milord?"
"Share with me what you have been thinking," he cajoled, "and mayhaps we can start there."
Rhapsody hesitated. To do so felt quite embarrassing, but if it was what her Master willed...
"There is this new course in school," she told the marquis.
And he knew exactly what this was, of course, since it was what he had signed up to teach.
"I have yet to attend it, but I already have a slot reserved."
"Go on."
"I have been hearing things about this course, and there was this day I was walking down the hallway where the class was being taught. It was then I saw one of the students on her knees, and she was..."
"Pleasuring a man with her mouth?"
"Yes," Rhapsody whispered.
His cock jerked, and already he could feel pre-cum coating the head of his erection.
"You have been thinking of this?"
"Yes."
"And it is something you wish to do?"
A moment's hesitation, and then, "Only if you wish for it, too, Master."
Before the marquis could answer, they both felt the horses slowing down as the carriage came into a stop. A moment later, the coachman opened the door—-
Mihail simply looked at the other man.
"Right, milord," the coachman said without hesitation and promptly shut the door closed.
Soon enough, the carriage was moving its again, horse hooves galloping off, and Rhapsody turned to the marquis in surprise. "How on earth..."
"He is a man, milady." Also, the carriage smelled strongly of arousal, but such lessons were best left for another day. Right now, what he was most interested in his pet's carnal thoughts...and making them come true.
Green eyes that glittered with lust narrowed at Rhapsody, and the scorching feel of it on her skin had her swallowing.
The marquis crooked a finger.
