Gesturing to the speaker, I say, “I love this.” I’m still whispering.
His voice drips withhoney. “Good.” He walks in front of me, and his dark eyes meet mine. “Ready?”
I nod.
“Strip. Slowly. But keep your panties on.” Tavo walks over to a chair in front of me and sits.
My shoulders shiver. Goosebumps erupt, but it’s not a cold room. I’m just freaking excited.
And nervous. I’ve never done this before. I’ve never tried to seduce a man. I’ve just been kindof … meh. But now? I want to drive him wild. I’m not totally sure how to do it, but I’ll follow his directions and strip, very slowly.
Tavo’s sprawled on an armchair, watching me. The look on his face is one of absolute heat. He wants me, and he knows he’s going to have me. Tavo’s so magnetic he doesn’t have to say anything to seduce me. He can do it from across the room.
My hairfalls in my face as I raise my hands—fumbling a bit—to unbutton my blouse. I’m cognizant of my breathing, which seems louder than usual, although the music covers some of it. Even though I’m concentrating on my shirt, I’m aware of his eyes. I bite my lip and take my time. Undoing one. Button. At. A. Time.
When I’ve unbuttoned the last button at the bottom, I let my shirt fall from my shoulders,down my arms, to the floor, and I wait.
“Now your pants,” he growls, with a raise of one finger on the armrest.
With a flick, I unbutton my jeans and unzip them. My hands slide down my sides to ease my pants over my hips and push them down my legs, and I step out of them.
When I reach behind me to take off my bra, I catch his eye and reconsider. Perhaps if he’s in controlof this play, I should let him tell me what to do. Seemingly pleased that I’m doing this right, he nods. I unhook it, so the straps loosen and drop down my shoulders and my arms, to the floor.
While I like the new feeling of being in charge of my own self and my own body, being told what to do by Tavo is really fucking hot, especially when it’s my choice. I stand before him wearing sheerpale pink cheeky panties and nothing else. My nipples tighten and perk up, and my belly moves along with my inhalation and exhalation. I’m not used to my naked body being on display. My thighs are bigger than I’d like, and I have cellulite on my ass.
He doesn’t seem to care.
“Stand there. Let me look at you.”
For a very long time he doesn’t move, he just gazes at me with asupremely satisfied look on his face. “You are so lovely, Kim, it’s almost indescribable. You are any man’s ideal. Supple, strong, soft, and so, so sexy.”
Shifting on my feet, keeping myself from crossing my arms over my chest, I stare him down, but there’s a smile behind my eyes.
I’m loving this.
Tavo does a little twirly motion with his finger. “Giro de vuelta,” he orders.“Despacio.Despacito.”
A flame crackles on the wick of a candle.
I turn slowly, as slowly as I can. My hair falls in my face, and I peer at him through it. I can’t help but mutter, “This is weirdly erotic, Tavo.”
“Yes, it’s erotic, but it’s not weird. You have to understand what I see when I look at you. I see the poetic sway of your ass. The pretty little dimple under yourbutt cheek. The musical way your hips flare from your waist. So beautiful. I see your succulent thighs. All of you, Kim. All of you.”
Nodding, I don’t say anything. I just let the compliments seep into me. Allowing him—anyone—to compliment and enjoy the way I look is another new and decadent feeling.
“Enough with my pleasure. Now it’s time for yours.”
A noise leaves my mouth.I think it’s the sound of my innocence joyfully fleeing, never to return.
With a languid movement, he stands, strides to a drawer, and removes two pairs of handcuffs with soft lining.
“You said no to these in class.” He shows me the key. “Are they acceptable now?”
My pulse roars, and I nod. He sets the key on a dresser.
“Give me your wrists.”
Palms pointed up,I hold out my hands, and he slaps the end of a set of handcuffs on my right wrist, letting it click into place and the other end dangle down. It’s not too tight and not too loose, and it makes another thrill run through me.
