It's time.
I pull back with a sigh. "You're sure you're ready?" She doesn't have to say it, but I do. I need to hear the words on her lips. To be sure I'm not pushing her.
"I think so."
"I brought something."
"Yeah?" Her eyes light up. With desire. And apprehension.
"I'm not sure you'll like it."
"Try me."
I set her down. "Hold on." This is better as a show, not a tell.
I go to my backpack.
Pull out what I need.
Her eyes go wide as I set the restraints on the table. "Those are…"
"Yeah."
"You want to tie—"
"No. I think you should tie me up."
"Those were just jokes—"
"Yeah, but it's a good idea." I move closer. Bring my hand to her cheek. Stare into her gorgeous dark eyes. "That way, you'll be in control."
"What do I even do?"
"Whatever you want."
She presses her lips together. "I guess I could tie you up and use you like a sex toy?"
"That sounds hot."
"Yeah." She nods. "It kinda does."
