Page 217 of Cruel Devotion

Lei looked down at me and that gaze was dark and filled with lust.

There was something else there too.

Something warm and tender.

He licked his lips. “Did you cum?”

I couldn’t even speak yet. I just blinked, hoping he understood that he had upended my entire world.

“Mmmm.” Inch by inch, he took his time turning the wheel.

I panted.

With each gradual movement, my world slowly, almost painstakingly, began to realign itself.

Oh my God. That was everything.

From my position on the wheel, I had grown accustomed to the rush of blood to my head and the unique disorientation that came from seeing everything upside down.

The space from that perspective was a curious blend of exhilaration and confusion, a challenge to my senses that left me both thrilled and slightly overwhelmed.

Now the bedroom rotated in my vision—a slow and steady whirl that transformed the ceiling into walls and then into the floor.

This shift was disorienting, yet fascinating.

Then, there was a moment of dizziness, a brief dance of vertigo that made my stomach flutter.

Little by little, I approached the upright position, the blood flow to my head eased.

Once fully upright, I let out a deep sigh as this new feeling hit me. It was like I was emerging from water where the world was once muffled and distorted, but now above the surface, it was all clear and sharp.

From this new, yet familiar, perspective, I could appreciate the space in a new way. The chandeliers shone more brilliantly, the paintings on the walls were more defined, and the orchestra and women seemed more alive, more vibrant.

I let out another sigh.

Lei stepped in front of me, reached up, and one by one released the restraints.

The whole time, his lips brushed against mine in a slow, lingering kiss that left me breathless. “Did you cum?”

After blinking a few times, I could now lower my hands. “Y-yes.”

He curved his lips into a smile. “Was it intense?”

“God, yes.” I rubbed my wrists.

He lowered and unstrapped my ankles.

I stepped away from the wheel and wobbled a little.

Lei gathered me in his muscular arms.

I trembled in his hold.

“I’ve got you.” He lifted me with ease, cradled me gently against his chest, hooked his arms under my legs, and scooped me up. The strength in his arms was evident, yet there was a tenderness in his touch that made me feel cherished and safe.

I could feel the steady beat of his heart as I nestled my head into the crook of his neck. The trembling in my body began to subside and the residual adrenaline from the wheel and orgasm slowly ebbed.

Lei kept us by the wheel and pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. “How do you feel?”
