“Give me a color.”

She didn’t respond has she remained fixated on the scarf.

“Kayla.” He took her chin between his fingers and locked his gaze with hers. “A color. Now.”

“Yel... Um...yellow.”

“Why yellow?” He hadn’t expected that, but he would respect it.

“I’ve never allowed anyone to restrain me.”

“I know that.” He draped the scarf around her neck, letting it dangle across her nipples. He drew his hand down her throat, taking a leisurely journey to the valley between her breasts. She inhaled long, deep breaths when he took the ends of the scarf in his hands and swept them over her nipples. “If you don’t want me to tie you to the post, then I won’t.”

“I’m just not sure yet.”

“Your submission is only mine if you give it to me. I can’t steal it.”

Perhaps he was going to have to take more time with her than he’d initially thought. As he gazed into her eyes, he decided it would be worth it. He wouldn’t scare her away. Her fear, her apprehension, only solidified his decision to take her on himself. How many other men would have the control to wait her out? The idea of her naked and aroused, willing to allow him any liberty with her body was enough. He could go slow and be satisfied. Her submission would be earned. That had to be the greatest pleasure he could ever desire.

Chapter 8

Kayla focused on the scarf. It wasn’t that harsh of a restraint. She’d told Julian she could handle bondage, so why was she so nervous? She needed to swallow back this fear before he called this whole thing off. No one had ever looked at her the way he had. His gaze saw through her, exposing her and calling her out. He knew who she was and what she needed. Now she needed to surrender to his will. Show him how much she really wanted this. Wanted him.

“I said yellow because you told me to be honest.”

“You did the right thing.” He kissed her jaw as he removed the scarf from her neck. “These beginning sessions will be about learning one another.”

“You’re not mad?”

“Not at all. I’m very pleased.” He kissed her again, soft and caring. For such a take-charge guy, he was more tender than she would have imagined. “Would you like to continue?”

“Yes, I would.”

“Lie back on the bed.” He guided her onto the large, firm mattress.

“But I thought...” She fell back onto her elbows, draping her head back when he kissed her neck. “The scarves?”

“Shh...” He took his time, kissing and licking her breasts. “Change of plans. Yellow means I need to slow down.”

“Hmm.” She couldn’t contain the whimper when he blew his warm breath on her wet flesh.

Clasping the comforter, she spread her legs as he settled between them. While he feasted on her nipples, he slithered his hand between their bodies and inside her panties. One finger, steady, spreading her arousal around before inserting a second finger. Moving faster now, he circled her clit as he bit down on her nipple. Tugging at it with his teeth, swirling the tip of his tongue on the sensitive area all the while he worked some wicked magic inside her panties.

He shifted his hips as he wrapped her legs around his waist. “Move with me.” Adding a third finger, he ground his lower body into her thigh, encouraging her to simulate intercourse. “How does that feel?”

“Good...” She couldn’t focus on the words. Her stomach muscles tightened as she clenched around his fingers. She’d never done anything like this before. The thought of doing something so dirty with Julian pushed her over the edge. Before she even realized what was happening, she cried out his name, shuddering underneath him as she gave into his demands.

Holy hell!She’d never done that with a partner. And no self-induced orgasm had ever been that incredible.

Kissing his way to her lips, he took her chin in his hand, holding her still. “I read your paperwork.” His lips curved into a crooked smirk. “I won’t take that first lightly.”

“I didn’t think I was capable of having an orgasm with anyone. I mean, it’s never happened before.”Stop talking! You sound like an idiot.

“You haven’t been with the right man before now.” He slid his hand to her panties and pulled them down her legs. “From now on, you’ll have more pleasure than you can imagine. Once you allow yourself to lower your inhibitions and let me lead, you’ll unlock doors inside your mind, and in turn, you’ll experience the best sex of your life.” He stroked her breasts, stomach, and inner thighs. He pressed his lips to her temple. “You’re capable of more. Trust me.” He picked up the scarf and held it over her chest. “If you don’t like it, all you have to do is say red, and I’ll stop. Let me help you unlock those doors. You have no idea what it would mean to me.”

Giving him her submission was why she was there. He would help her. He would teach her. She held out her wrists, pressing her palms together. “Green.”

“Go to the top of the bed and settle in against the pillows.”
