He took her left arm and put it into position.

“Sir?”

“Yes, sweet.”

“This is different, Sir.” He had her arm out to the side rather than over her head.

“I don’t want your arms to go numb. This will help.” He fastened one and then the other. “Okay?”

“Green, Sir.” They’d talked about this as well. He would check in with her often. She was glad because, sometimes, when his loving overwhelmed her, her mind went blank.

Jordan knelt down and secured her feet, then crossed over to his bag. He dangled a blindfold in front of her. It was a soft limit for her.

“We didn’t talk about this, but it will heighten your sensations and help you forget where you are.”

She swallowed.

“What is it, my sweet?”

Leave it to him to notice her apprehension. “I’m not sure, Sir.”

“Talk to me.” He leaned close, and she fought to catch her breath.

“It’s just…it was dark when my parents threw me into the sin closet.” She hated the tremor in her voice.

His lips tightened. “I see. We don’t need it.” He started to turn away.

“Sir.” There had been brief disappointment in his gaze, then understanding. Crystal lifted her chin. “It’s fine, Sir.” She took a deep breath.

“No, sweetheart. Not if it’s going to remind you of a horrible situation. One that no one should ever have to go through.”

“Please, Sir.” It was time to stop letting her past control her and her feelings. “I want to try.”

Jordan nodded and slipped the blindfold on.

The leather clung to her skin and cut out all light. Jordan ran his fingers over her cheek and down her neck. Crystal shivered.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, Sir. I’m fine.”

“So courageous,” he whispered, then his touch was gone.

She took deep breaths to calm her racing heart and to see if she could hear him. Instead, she heard voices. Lots of voices. Oh yeah, they were in the club. She’d almost forgotten.

Oh crap, anyone could see her breasts. She tried to hunch her shoulders but couldn’t. She jumped when a hand landed on her shoulder.

“Easy, sweet, it’s me.” Her tense muscles relaxed with the sound of Jordan’s soft voice. “It’s just you and me.”

He trailed his fingers over her collarbone and between her breasts. Then he made circles around her breasts.

Her nerves quivered with anticipation.

“That’s it. Relax and let me arouse you.”

She sucked in a breath when he splayed his palm over her belly, the tips of his fingers brushing the pair of shorts she wore.

“Pale skin against mine.” He continued to caress her as he talked.
