My body is on such high alert, every swipe of his tongue sends a jolt through me.
As I ride my climax out over his mouth, my body starts to get a grip of itself.
My breathing steadies as he lets me out, helping me to my wobbling legs.
He spins me to face him, saying nothing. Just looking into my eyes.
“How did that feel?” He grins.
“Fucking terrifying, but I nearly passed out I came so hard.”
He nods and strokes my cheek.
“Did you enjoy it? The fear? The trust?”
“I did.” I smile.
But there is one burning question I wonder if he will answer. The other girls did this to win a new life. I’m doing this for him. To unlock things about myself and him.
“Finn, what do I get if I pass the trials? If I win?”
“If you pass the next trial, I’ll tell you. You have to earn your answers, remember,” he says bluntly.
I wrap my arms around his waist, and he moves out of my hold.
“Have I done something to upset you?”
I can’t ignore this nagging feeling in my chest that he’s mad at me. Or is this part of the game? Playing his part to test me.
He tips my chin up.
“I never get upset, love. I’d need to have feelings for that,” he says coldly.
“You’re not a robot, Finn. I’ve seen you.”
His stare hardens.
“I sometimes wish I was,” he whispers.
I place my hand on his cheek.
“You don’t need to be, not with me,” I tell him.
He lets out a breath.
“That’s what I thought too,” he mutters, and without another word, he takes my hand and drags me out of the room, back down the hallway to the room opposite the first one.
He stops before putting in the code and turns to me.
“I’m giving you one hint to come out of this room unscathed.”
I nod, swallowing hard at the seriousness of his tone.
“I’ve studied you for years, Stephanie. I have a notepad full of observations. Never lie to me.”
My heart hammers, the weight of the world falling on me.
There is no way he can know who I am.
