Getting closer. I just moaned without thinking, though, and now I’m worried they’ll hear me.

Well, half worried and kind of turned on.

What if they listen to me like we listened to Ramsey and Hazel?

They’re not exactly shy, sweetheart.

Do whatever feels good. They’d probably get off on it.

You better be moaning my fucking name though.

I am.

Can I use the vibrator again?

Yes. You can turn it on and count to ten. Then turn it off.

But you cannot come. Got it?

Got it.

I do as he asks of me, lying back down on my stomach before I slip it back between my legs and take my time counting to ten like I’m wringing every possible millisecond out of the experience. I sigh loudly into the pillow when I have to turn it off again. It’s torture, and if it was just me, I’d be letting myself ride this little vibrator over the edge.

Desperate.

Please let me come.

THE DEVIL:

You can wait.

Three more seconds with the vibrator. Please?

No.

I rock my hips forward over the pillow under my hips and let out a soft gasp. It’s torment and relief at the same time. I’m so close, and it gives me the slightest hint of something I need but not enough to free me from the torture.

“I don’t remember saying anything about putting a pillow between your legs.” His voice is thick and graveled.

I nearly jump out of my skin. Turning over and scrambling up the bed even though I know it’s him. Even in the dark, I can make out his shoulders and that jawline. His blue eyes catch a glint of the light, and he looks terrifying.

“Grant,” I whisper. “How the fuck—”
