Page 36 of Bad Guys Need Love Too

The look he gave her was more potent than any sexual experience she’d had in her life. “Would I let you use me however you wanted for as long as you wanted until you’d come so many times you barely had the strength to uncuff me?” He paused, running the tip of his tongue over his lower lip. “Don’t threaten me with a good time.”

Her throat dried up. Probably because all the moisture in her body had diverted to her panties. “What about your legs?” she rasped. “Those would still be free. It’s not like I can cuff those.”

And his thighs were the size of tree trunks. He could probably strangle her with those thighs if he wanted to. It was a thought that shouldn’t have turned her on.

But it did.

“I have rope.”

That’s when she knew for a fact this was going to happen. They could talk about their complicated past and her even more complicated crush on him later. The discussion about what they were going to do after she was safe could wait.

Right now, she needed orgasms way more than she needed totalkabout anything.

“OK.”

He leaned in even closer. She shivered as his hot breath skated over her skin. “Speak up,” he whispered in her ear. “I’m going to need that consent loud and clear.”

Was it weird that his demand for her consent, when he was the one that was about to be cuffed and tied to his own bed frame, got her even wetter than she already was?

She pulled back so that she was looking him right in his beautiful dark eyes and said with all the clarity she could muster, “Get the cuffs. And the rope. My answer isyes.”

The look he gave her was probably the same one the devil gave Eve after he’d convinced her to eat that apple. Good Lord, was she even going to survive this? Lark had no idea.

But, oh, what fun she was going to have in the meantime…

CHAPTER 17

Ren had never moved faster in his life than he did in that moment. He imagined he was practically a blur as he grabbed the cuffs and some rope and dragged her by the hand into his bedroom.

He paused by the bed, giving her time to change her mind if that’s what she needed to do, and took in the view.

God, she was so damn beautiful. He couldn’t believe she was even considering this. Even if she left now, the fact that she’d asked him to fuck her was a miracle.

But she didn’t change her mind. She just looked at the cuffs and rope he’d tossed onto the bed. She cleared her throat. “So…what do I do first?”

His brain short-circuited at all the possibilities. “You’re in control. What do you want to do?”

Her eyes widened. “You mean you were serious about letting me have total control?”

“I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life. Would you like asuggestionabout what you should do first?”

She bit her bottom lip and nodded.

“Tie me up and lose your clothes,” he practically growled. “I don’t think I can go another minute without tasting you.”

Fire rushed to her cheeks, and he worried that hissuggestionhad been too much, too fast. He was about to backtrack (maybe even beg a little) when she glanced up at him and whispered. “No one has ever done that to me before.”

Surely she didn’t mean what he thought she meant. “You mean?—”

“Oral, OK? No one has ever done that before. I’ve only ever been with Neal, and he didn’t think that was something…normal people did. He thought it was gross.”

Ren was so stunned he had no idea what to do with that information. Should he apologize on behalf of all men? No, that didn’t seem appropriate. Neal didn’t count as a man if he had no interest in this woman, thisgoddess, sitting on his face. Or should he say “yippee” because he’d be the first to make her come on his tongue?

He was leaning toward “yippee”, frankly.

But again, he didn’t want to scare her off. So, he just shrugged and said, “No time like the present.”

True to form, Lark rose to the challenge. “Well, in that case…take off your shirt.”
