Page 7 of Merciless Sinner

But from this view it was the long, shapely legs that drew his eye. Along with images of where he’d like them wrapped. Around his waist specifically as he plunged into her.

Fuck, he had it bad and now stood grateful as hell she’d accepted his invitation.

He’d actually been surprised she’d come. Her strong spine and desire to be here humbled him. Alex stifled the hope he’d found something special in Harper and the consequences that might create. Variety might be called the spice of life, but he longed for someone to experiment with. Someone who would let him get further than he ever had before.

It was far too soon to go there with this one.

Although he planned to shove her outside any normal comfort zone from the beginning. He had to know if she had it in her. He suspected she did. Call it a hunch. Or a sixth sense. He’d recognized something in her and it reached for that something in him.

He inched closer until their bodies practically touched. He brushed his fingers through the fringe of her skirt and teased the soft skin of her thighs.

A quiet moan slipped from her mouth. If he’d not been paying attention he might have missed it. Later he’d make sure she screamed so there’d be no mistaking her pleasure.

He wrapped an arm around her middle and pulled her against his frame. Her normal height plus the heels she wore aligned her bottom perfectly against the hard ridge of his erection.

“I have every intention of giving you pleasure tonight, Harper Allison, but there are a few more things we need to be clear on.” He breathed through her hair, inhaling more of her delicious scent with every breath. He’d also purposely repeated her name. It reinforced the power dynamic that he knew everything about her and she nothing about him.

His stomach clenched with the thrill of that knowledge.

He moved his hand from her curved stomach to her right breast until he found the taut nipple he sought through the thin fabric. It pleased him immensely that she’d forgone a bra. They might look pretty for a minute, but he preferred full access to whatever he wanted.

He pinched the erect bud just to the point of pain, testing her. “I believe pain and pleasure complement each other naturally, so you can expect to feel both tonight.”

Her head lolled back and landed against his chest with a quiet thud. “Yes, Sir.”

“I’m not a sadist but I do love pushing limits. I will find yours and exceed them.”

Oh he would find them all right.

Alex fought back a satisfied smile when he detected her breathing had grown harsh. “Anytime you are commanded tonight, I expect your full compliance, is that understood?”

“But—”

“Patience, kitten,” he said, cutting her off. “Let me finish. You’ve been given a safeword and I damn well expect you to use it if you need to. It doesn’t mean you’re weak or inferior as a submissive and it certainly doesn’t mean you won’t be wanted anymore. If you use it, then tonight’s scene simply ends and I take you home. What happens after that is still negotiable. Understand?”

“Yes.” She nodded.

“Good. Tonight, you will bemineto use as I wish. You are here at my pleasure and it will please me to watch you come over and over again.” He allowed a fraction of the possessiveness gripping his balls to slip free with his statement. How he could feel this way about a woman he’d just officially met made very little sense to him. His analytical brain wanted to pick the reasons apart and argue in his defense, but the caveman in him won this round. She would be his.

With an easy twist of his hands he turned Harper around and nestled her close. Lush red lips stood stark against the cream of her face and the black blindfold still covering her eyes. In a different time or place he’d relish wining and dining her. Seducing her into his bed so he could bury his mouth between her lush legs and then finish them both off with a hard fucking the likes of which she’d never experienced.

He didn’t doubt she’d be delicious in any setting, but from the moment he’d seen her hands grip the back of a chair until they’d turned white while she watched a flogging, he’d craved something more from her.

The taste of her submission would serve as the ultimate aphrodisiac for them both. Maybe later there would be time for them to sit down and get to know each other. Maybe not. For now though, the club was the perfect backdrop for tonight’s test.

“An encounter like this requires a great deal of trust, wouldn’t you say?”

She nodded.

“I’m asking for yours before I’ve completely earned it. In return I will show some in you.” He brushed a strand of hair from her cheek and wrapped it around her ear. Shock at the simple touch coursed through him. She truly was all soft skin and beautiful curves. Not to mention the pretty compliance shining in her eyes. “Tonight I intend to trust that you’ll be honest with me. Whenever I ask you a question, I will be counting on you to tell me the truth. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Yes, Sir,” she answered, her words coming out breathless.

Alex edged closer until their heads were mere inches apart. He focused on the shape and color of her lips. Imagined the divine feel of them all over his body. Tension coiled deep in his gut at the many images flashing through his mind. The first tremor from Harper’s body dragged him out of his head and back to her. He liked hearing “Sir” come out of her mouth. He’d bet she had no idea when she spoke the word it came out on a whisper of harsh need.

A need mirrored in his own thoughts.

He was back to focusing on her lips again. The plump bottom lip that formed the slightest pout all on its own. The light pink tip of her tongue that periodically poked out to touch her lip…
