As he moved lower to my balls, my heart began to race again. It felt invasive but also strangely arousing. My cock stirred to life, betraying my body’s true desires. My cheeks were on fire. What would Ocean think of me now?

But he merely positioned himself on the floor so he had better access and gestured for me to put my right foot up on the edge of the tub. He handled my balls with care as he shaved them, never missing a beat. The cool air tickled the bare skin, but I didn’t mind.

“Turn around.”

I obeyed before I could even question myself.

“Spread your legs and bend over. Rest your arms on the sink for support.”

Oh fuck. I’d known this was coming, but I hadn’t allowed myself to think about how it would feel. But somehow, I was too weak to resist. Or maybe too numb by now, though that didn’t seem to be the right word either, seeing as I was still fully aroused. I didn’t have anything left in me to fight Ocean, so I did as he asked me.

“Are you good?” Ocean asked me, and it took a moment to realize he was double-checking my consent.

“Yes.”

He was quick and efficient, wielding that razor with ease and practice. Before I knew it, he did a final scrape. “There, done.”

Ocean gently dabbed at my skin with a towel, ensuring every remnant of shaving cream and stray hair was gone. “So pretty,” he purred, his voice low and full of satisfaction. “Now, you can truly feel every sensation I have in store for you.”

I swallowed as I rose and slowly turned around to face him. “And what do you have in store for me?”

CHAPTER ELEVEN

In which I discover what Ocean means by reward. Also, I apparently need a safeword.

“You’ve been so good, Cash…”Ocean’s gaze was intense as he took in my naked body. “So good for me. You deserve a reward.”

A shiver ran through me at his words, pride and exhilaration warring with a twinge of self-judgment. Part of me thrilled at the praise, knowing I’d pleased him. But another voice whispered that I shouldn’t want this so badly, shouldn’t crave his approval like a man dying of thirst. I was a successful businessman, for god’s sake, and twenty years his senior. I shouldn’t need anyone’s validation, least of all his.

Yet…the way Ocean looked at me made me feel more seen, more cherished than I ever had.

“What kind of reward?” I asked, my voice embarrassingly breathy.

“Come here.”

He held out his hand, and I moved toward him as if pulled by an invisible current. His touch was firm yet tender as he guided me toward the massive four-poster bed. My mind raced, thoughts crashing like waves. I wanted to surrender, to let go and trust him completely. But old fears and insecurities clung like seaweed, threatening to drag me under.

I was acutely aware of Ocean’s clothed state compared to my nudity. He’d only taken off his shoes and his jacket. His crisp white shirt and tight-fitting pants—well, my pants, technically—emphasized my vulnerability, and I felt a rush of humiliation…followed by a surge of arousal that made my freshly shaved balls twitch.

“You okay?” Ocean asked softly, one hand cupping my cheek.

I leaned into his touch. “Yeah. I’m not used to feeling so exposed.”

“I know,” he soothed. “But you’re doing so well. I’m so proud of you for trusting me.”

His praise washed over me like a warm tide, soothing my doubts. I met his gaze, seeing nothing but affection and desire there.

“Thank you,” I whispered. “I want this. I want you.”

Ocean’s smile widened. “Then let me take care of you, sweetheart. Let me make you feel good.”

How could I say no to that? “Okay.”

He put down a towel on the bed. “Lie facedown for me.”

I hesitated for a heartbeat, old instincts warring with my desire to please him. But the pull of his command was too strong to resist. I climbed onto the massive bed, the fluffy towel a comfort against my heated skin as I settled onto my stomach. The mattress dipped as Ocean sat beside me, and I turned my head to watch him, pulse racing.

“Good. So good for me,” he murmured, and a thrill shot through me at the praise. “Just relax now. Let me take care of you.”
