This is the first time I’m going to see her completely naked.
My dick is aching to be inside her—whether that be her mouth or her cunt, I don’t fucking care.
All I know is right now, I need to rein it in, take it slow.
With my hands now clenched at my sides, I refrain from any sort of movement, even when the need to adjust myself becomes almost unbearable.
Next, Eden hooks her thumbs into the elastic of her matching bottoms and slips them down her legs. When she stands up straight, she instinctively covers herself.
“No.” I practically growl out the word. “You don’t ever cover yourself in this room. You be proud of your body, Eden. Am I clear?”
“Yes,” she whispers, although loud enough for me to hear it.
I glare down at her with hooded eyes, and prompt her to kneel with a slight nod of my head.
Bottom lip caught between her teeth, she drops to her knees, and as instructed, lowers her head and places her hands on her thighs.
My. Fucking. God.
“Such a good girl.” I roll my neck while circling her shaking body, breathing in her scent. “When we’re playing, you’ll refer to me as Sir. Do you understand?”
Eden nods her head slightly but says nothing.
So much to learn.
“Words, Eden,” I say, trailing a finger over the bare skin of her upper back from shoulder to shoulder.
She shivers under my touch but manages to breathe out a “Yes, Sir” without too much difficulty.
“Look at me, Sunshine.” I move to stand in front of her, my toes nudging her knees. When her eyes find mine, I lean down to grip her chin, tilting her head back further. “The next time you don’t use your words, you’ll be punished. Do you understand?”
“I understand . . . Sir.”
Groaning my approval, I run my gaze down her body. “So fucking beautiful on your knees for me, Eden.”
Her shoulders sag and she drops her face, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth. If any other sub did that, I’d haul them to their feet and bend them over my knee. But with Eden, I see the war waging inside her. She’s not used to the praise. Doesn’t think she deserves it, I assume.
“Eyes on me.” I nudge her chin with a hooked finger.
She takes a moment, but does as I demand.
“You don’t need my approval, Eden. But when we’re in this room, I will praise you for your obedience.”
She lets out a slow breath, her eyes softening a little, so I make my way over to the end of the bed and sit down, spreading my legs and leaning back on my hands.
Eden watches me, her chest rising and falling in quick succession, her lips slightly parted. I take my time, running my eyes over her flushed cheeks, to the fullness of her breasts, then down to the softness of her stomach.
There’s an innocence in her I want to break. I want to cross it out in big red lines and ruin her for any other man.
Well, any other man, besides Emerson.
Does she realise how much I fucking tried to stay away from her? There’s so much she doesn’t know about me, about my past, my family. I’m sure she’s gotten little glimpses of it from Tyler.
I could just tell her what he did. I’d have no problem outing my brother and the person he is, but for whatever reason, Eden makes me want to be... better.
Letting my head fall back, I close my eyes and breathe in a slow, calming breath. I need to get it together right now because I can’t fall over the edge with her.
If I so much as lose one ounce of control, I’ll never forgive myself.
