He kissed her. “I’m glad you were persistent.”

“I’m glad you couldn’t leave me alone.”

“That was the best sex I’ve ever had,” he proclaimed. “Off the charts.”

“Ahh, that might be the most romantic thing you’ve ever said to me.”

Their laughter echoed throughout the bedroom.

“What would you like to do this afternoon?” He tossed the comforter over them. “Your choice. I’ll do whatever you want.”

“I want to stay in bed all day, cuddled in your arms. Making love, watching movies, eating dinner, having some kinky sex too.”

“Now that might be the most romantic thing you’ve ever said to me.” He outlined her lips with his fingertips. “Maybe I’ll bring out the massage oils.”

“Mmm...hmm.” She closed her eyes. “Can we take a power nap?”

“Absolutely.” He wrapped his arms around her. “You’re going to need your rest.”

She rested her head on his chest as he held her close. A light rain pelted against the skylight above them as the shadows from the clouds darkened the room. She couldn’t think of a more perfect day.

Chapter 17

The rain had picked up in intensity in the hour they’d slept. Kayla watched as Julian’s chest rose and fell, his breathing steady. He was peaceful and content, so she decided to let him sleep some more. She wiggled out of his hold, but before she could get out of bed, he caught her by the hand and pulled her back down.

“I thought we were staying in bed all day.”

“We are, but you were still asleep, so I thought I’d make us a snack.”

“A snack sounds good.” He licked his lips. “I know what I want.”

“What’s that?”

“You, spread out on this bed, arms and legs bound while I tease you with my tongue.”

“Why do you want to tease me?” Her nipples betrayed her, because she liked his type of torture, especially when he drew it out.

“I like when you’re needy.” He traced her breasts with his fingers, circling her nipples. “Wet with desire, begging me to give you what you need.”

“Do you think people like us are damaged?”

“People like us?” He sat up, leaning against the headboard. He curled his finger and summoned her to sit between his legs. She crawled to him, nestling between his legs, her back to his chest.

“The way we like sex?” She didn’t think there was anything wrong with what they did or how they liked it, but she saw the disgust in her brother’s eyes. “Kinky, power, control, dominance, submission, toys?”

“I’d say we’re pretty healthy and we know what we want.”

“I met this girl when I was in college.” She linked her fingers in his. “She was a hardcore submissive. She had a full-time Dom, slept in a cage, and did whatever he told her to do.”

“The BDSM lifestyle has many aspects. Is that where you first learned about it? From this girl?”

“Yes, we had a human sexuality class together. She’d made some comments in the class that intrigued me. We started going for coffee and she told me about her experiences. She offered to take me to the club where she met her Dom, but I was young and afraid to get involved. That’s when I started my research.”

“Ah yes, all those things you put on your application.”

“You’re never going to let me live that down, are you?”

“Probably not.”
