Page 94 of Mine

“Can we what?” I asked.

“I want… Can we use one of the areas? To play?”

I was surprised, although I shouldn’t have been. I knew beneath the cool exterior she presented to the rest of the world was a woman starved for fire. Her appetite matched mine.

I spun her around, my hand settling around her throat. I gave the sides a squeeze. Gentle but firm. Her mask glittered beneath the lights of the club, smoke curling between bodies. Moans and cries echoed around us with the beat of the music, people grinding against each other.

“Is that what you want?” I asked her. “Do you want me to fuck you in front of everyone?”

She swallowed hard. “Because we’ve had to keep everything hidden, I like being able to kiss you out in the open. And I like the idea of you making me yours in front of a crowd.”

Just hearing her say that turned me on even more. I closed my eyes for a moment, thinking. Calculating. The thought of showing the world just how much she was mine lit something primal inside me.

“We need to talk about kinks more,” I rasped.

“I know safe words. You taught me, remember? And we talked about kinks the first night we were together. I’m still learning what I like. What I don’t like.” She raised a brow, my hand still around her throat. I felt her swallow. “I trust you. I trust you with my body.”

Will you ever trust me with your heart?

“What about you?” she asked. “We’ve spent so much time talking about what I like, Salt. What do you like? What do you want to do to me?”

Fuck. I gave a quick glance around us and then released her neck, tugging her close. She leaned into me completely.

I realized she wasn’t resisting.

She wasn’t running.

She wasn’t fighting what she wanted.

And she certainly wasn’t fighting me.

Finally.

“I want to breed you in front of the whole world,” I whispered in her ear. “I want to make you a collar with my name on it. I want you to wear it while I tie you to my bed and fuck you. I want to put you in a rope harness and suspend you in the air and make you come so many times you forget your name. I want to corrupt you. It turns me on knowing that you’re so new to everything. I like knowing that I’m teaching you something, especially knowing how fucking smart and powerful you are.”

“Oh,” she whimpered.

Her hand rested on my chest.

And then slid down.

And down.

Until she grazed my erection and her nails grazed my stomach as she unbuttoned my jeans. The zipper went down, and she pushed her hand into my pants, cupping me.

“Salt.” God, I loved the way she said my name. “Is… is this for me?”

“All for you,” I groaned.

“What else do you want to do to me?” Her hand moved, wrapping around me.

It’d been a long time since I’d been so surprised by someone. I felt it rattle me to the core. Her fingers stroked my cock slowly.

Edging me the same way I’d edged her.

I grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her head back, making her look up at me. She started to pull her hand back, but I growled. “Don’t you dare fucking stop, Pepper.”

She tensed, but then relaxed again.
