“Good girl,” he said.“How does that feel?”

I’d resisted the urge to try to close my legs, but now, and suddenly, I needed to.My knees tried to snap together, and a jolt of pure arousal hit me deep inside my pussy when I found that I couldn’t.

“Oh god.”

He grinned.“There we go.”His thumb drew a soothing circle against my ankle above the cuff.“Baby, we’re going to have so much fun.Now, I’m going to turn you over, then I’m going to attach these two cuffs to your wrists and the wrists to the bar.”

He hadn’t started spanking me yet, or alluded to what might come after I was restrained to his liking, but I was in free fall.My heart rate jacked up, and calm became lost under the heady sensations awakening in me as he took command of my body.

“So pretty, all spread open like this,” he said.“I’m going to eat this sweet pussy out so good once we’re done.Would you like that?”

“Yes.God, please yes.Green, green, green.”

I didn’t understand what was happening, or my response.I should’ve been more alarmed, but all I felt was an edgy kind of arousal.I could feel the slickness and how open and exposed I was.The cool air conditioning touched me there, seeming to dance across my skin.

“I’m going to turn you over now.Remember what I said last time?If you want me to stop, just tell me to stop.I won’t be angry.I won’t be upset.We’ve come this far, we’ve started.I’ll hold you until you feel fine again.Okay?”

“Yes.”I felt strangely close to tears.Brushing the hair from my cheek, he leaned in and kissed me.I opened to him, chasing his tongue, trying to lean up and get more.His hand collared my throat, holding me still, making the kiss once more on his terms.He gentled and stopped before I was ready.

“I’ve got you now,” he said.“You’re mine.I’ll always take care of you.I’ll never ever be cross with you if you can’t do what I ask.I’m proud of you for doing this much.”

My chest felt full with a giddy kind of light.

“Are you ready to turn over?”

“Please,” I said.

Lifting me with ease, he turned me over, face down, ass up, knees bent.Gathering my left hand, he kissed the knuckles before enclosing my wrists in a cuff.He took his time about it, making sure it wasn’t too tight, that I was comfortable.Afterward, he held my wrist and the cuff all together in his big warm hand.It was the strangest sensation, making me feel somehow both vulnerable and safe.

“I’m going to attach it to the spreader now.”

“Please.”

“Good girl.”

And even in this, he took his time, pausing to skim his hand over my shoulder, down my back, over the curve of my waist, the swell of my ass, over my hip, thigh, and calf, setting a fire across my skin all the way to my left ankle.My hand was drawn back and then attached.

Awareness bloomed.I wanted to relax into it, but it was like my body teetered on the edge of rebellion, and I tugged.The lack of movement was shocking.His hands were immediately on me, against my shoulder and wrist, holding me still.

“Are you okay, baby?”

“Yes.Green.”

“Good girl, just breathe.”

This time, he leaned down and pressed a kiss against my hip.

I was so wet.All I could think about was the rising need and the relief that would be mine when he finally made me come.

“I’m going to do the other side now,” he said.He applied the same tender care as he attached the cuff, pausing at every step, watching me, before attaching the second cuff.

I concentrated on breathing, reminding myself that he would stop if I needed him to, losing myself in the look on his beautiful face as his eyes drank me in.

“Absolutely stunning,” he said.
