She licked dry lips, suddenly not sure if she’d thought this through enough.
“I’m waiting,” he growled.
“I just thought we could, you know, play a game.”
“A game?”He spat the word out like it was poison.“I’ll play any kind of game you want, beautiful, as soon as you take that goddamn thing off.”He tugged at the belt then ran his fingers along the seam, looking for a way in.
“That’s not how this works, Zach.”
“Jesus, Bethany.This isn’t going to end well, you know that, don’t you?”
“If you stop thinking about what’s in your way for a second, perhaps you’ll find it isn’t all bad.”
He straightened and slowly folded his arms.
Her mouth dried as the force of his implacable will hit her.“Very well.Tell me the rules of this game.The quicker we start, the quicker we’ll finish.And I can start punishing you for what you’re doing to me now.”
“Zachary—”
“No, baby.You don’t get to back out now or call me Zachary in that sexy voice to try and get your way.I’ll do what you want.Then you’ll have to do what I want.”
She licked her lips.“I’ve hidden the key to the belt somewhere in this room.If you find it within five minutes, you can take it off.If you don’t, I get to ask you any question I want and you give me a straight answer.”
He stiffened, and his eyes narrowed.“This wasn’t what we agreed this morning.”
She shrugged, and his gaze dropped to her breasts.His jaw clenched hard.
“I know.I just thought I’d help you a little.”
“Trust me, Peaches.This isn’t helping.In any way.”He eyed the belt again, and his mouth firmed.“But I’ll play along.”
Surprise shot through her.“You will?”
“Don’t salivate just yet, baby.I aim to win.”He tugged off his Tag Heuer watch, handed it to her and stepped back.“Tell me when.”
Unable to believe that he’d agreed to play along, she stared down at the face of the watch blindly for a few seconds before her brain kicked into gear.When the hand struck twelve, she said, “Go.”
He strolled through the room like he had all the time in the world.He peered underneath dildos and anal plugs, checked beneath the rocking cock chair and between the straps of the swing.
She held her breath as four minutes passed.He trailed his fingers over the top of the cabinet as the last minute ticked away.
Turning slowly, his gaze travelled over her.He sauntered closer and just stood in front of her.
“Peaches?”
Her heart jumped into her throat as he reached for her.“No… Zach…”
“Ah.”He echoed her earlier response.
Firm hands pulled her into his rock-hard body.Fingers speared her hair in a languorous search as he bent his head and kissed her.Her robe fell from her body and he traced hot hands down her back to the belt.
As his fingers slid underneath the back strap of the chastity belt, she moaned in defeat.He plucked the key from where she’d hidden it between her butt cheeks and stepped back.
“Time?”he asked with a smug grin.
She glanced dazedly at his watch.“Six seconds till time.”
He didn’t answer.Instead, he stepped to her side where the small lock held the belt in place.Sliding the key in, he turned it with a vicious twist.The action caused the underside of the belt to graze against her core.She moaned at the friction.
