"Hands down." Now, there was bite in the command, a hint of disapproval or disappointment.

Sofie swallowed a sound of distress. She wasn't distressed because she was worried; she realized she was upset because he was disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Sir." Sofie dropped her arms and the strapless bra tumbled to the floor. She stared down at it, remembering when she'd bought it online, paying slightly more to get the one with pretty lace overlay, even though she knew no one would ever see it.

"That's all right," he murmured. "I already have plans to remind you not to hide what's mine."

Andrei's hands slid from her hips up her naked sides. When the backs of his fingers rubbed along the insides of her upper arms, Sofie instinctively raised them to get her arms out of his way. Not sure what to do with her hands, she awkwardly stacked her palms on top of her own head.

"Fingers laced together behind your neck," he commanded. "Under your hair so I still have access to that."

It was a relief to be given instructions, and Sofie readily obeyed, sliding her hands under her hair and lacing her fingers together so she was cupping the back of her neck.

Andrei's hands continued up, his fingers finally brushing the outer curves of her breasts.

Then his hands slid forward cupping her breasts as his thumbs stroked once over her nipples.

Sofie sucked in air between her clenched teeth and arched her back pressing harder into his palms as pleasure gripped her and refused to let go. It felt as if her nipples were connected to every nerve ending in her body and every pleasure center in her brain.

"Did that hurt?" Andrei sounded genuinely concerned, and Sofie closed her eyes as her cheeks heated embarrassment.

"No, Sir. I didn't expect it to feel that good. I won't overreact again." She was already embarrassed, so she might as well be honest. Plus, she was no good at lying anyway.

"No." He gently squeezed her tits to emphasize the command. "Never hide or mute a reaction. I told you I want to know what you're thinking and feeling."

"Okay," she whispered in a smaller voice.

The lingering embarrassment vanished when he did it again, thumbs bumping over her nipples. This time, it wasn't as intense, but she did let out a happy little moan.

"Face me." Andrei released her only long enough for her to turn, and then he gripped her breasts once more, palms cradling the undersides.

Sofie didn’t realize she’d closed her eyes until he said, “Watch.”

She opened her eyes, gaze locked on her own breasts.

Andrei delicately placed the pad of each thumb directly on the tip of each nipple and then rolled them. He worked her nipples like they were tiny toggles of a delicate machine, the movements precise and small but exquisitely acute.

“Closer,” he commanded.

Sofie inched forward, until she was between his spread thighs.

“Watch.”

She had been watching, but now her gaze jumped to his face, and the naked desire in his expression made her breath catch. She’d read that the greatest aphrodisiac was knowing your partner desired you.

She’d found that idea odd, that being wanted in turn made one want, until now. Andrei looked at her, as if he would come apart, and she in turn felt nearly desperate in her arousal. For a moment, she felt the power shift from him to her as she stood all but naked before him, looking down on him as he worshiped her breasts.

“Now bend down and give me a taste.”

The power slid back to him as she obeyed, hesitantly bending at the hips until her breasts were near his face. He didn’t let go of her tits as she moved, though his thumbs shifted off her nipples.

With a soft tug to one tit, he had her twisting just enough that her nipple brushed first his cheek, and then his lips.

She saw that full lower lip curve up in a smile before he captured the tip of her breast in the warm heat of his mouth.

Sofie closed her eyes and moaned as he sucked gently at her nipple before tonguing it. When he held her nipple with his teeth, she stilled, and when he bit down enough to cause soft pain, she whimpered.

He tugged on her nipple, the vice of his teeth inescapable, before releasing her and soothing the hurt with his tongue.
