Chapter 13

HER DREAMS WERE SO colorful and vivid that they seemed real. From the two sets of hands on her body, to the feel of one man thrusting deep inside her core while she took the other to the back of her throat, the images interrupted her slumber.Cali groaned, not wanting to wake up. She simply had to see how the scene ended. What made those particular visions so clear? Was it the cocktails she had consumed at the bar? The excitement of two hot men staring at her? She wasn’t sure what the exact cause might be, but the current dreams sure as hell beat the ones she normally had each night.

Wanting to keep her eyes closed, she went to roll over, whimpering at the aching sensation in her limbs. Her legs were so heavy. With every inch she tried to move, weights on her ankles and wrists held her back.

She pulled at the restraints holding her in place until one man leaned in, distracting her by brushing his lips over hers. Cali had no idea what was going on and as the man kissed her, she found her traitorous body responding to him. Gone were the indignation and anger she’d felt just moments before. Now she ached for his mouth in other places.

“Please,” she murmured against that same pair of lips nearly plastered to hers.

A pair of large hands cupped her breasts and she moaned. The grip the other man had on her aching flesh almost bordered on pain, but she wanted more. Her body arched upward, as much as the bonds holding her in place would allow, but even the hard pinching of her nipples wasn’t quite enough to rouse her from the dreamlike state she was currently floating in. Reluctantly, she opened her eyes to focus on the two sets that had filled her fantasies during the night.

As if on cue, she remembered every way the men had touched her and how she had touched them in return. Cali had never been so wanton before in her entire life. What caused her alarm, though, was the moment when both men stopped touching her, taking their places beside her on the bed. Only then did Cali realize her wrists and ankles were tied to the bedposts.

“W-what is going on? Release me now, please!” She tried to hide it, but a small note of panic still crept into her tone anyway.

The blond, whom she remembered as Zane, began to speak, his gravelly tone making her shiver in response. “Don’t be scared. We’d never hurt you.”

“I don’t understand why I’m tied up,” she replied, her breathy voice sounding foreign to her own ears.

Dark-haired Xavier chimed in, his velvety baritone calming her immensely. “I know you’re confused, belleza, but we needed to show you who and what we really are.”

Confused, she wondered if the cocktails were still clouding her brain. Her uneasiness must have shown on her face because Zane cleared his throat before softening his tone. Cali tried to ignore the cadence and focus on what he was saying.

“We’re Dominants, angel. I’m sure you know what that means.”

Cali nodded her head in response. She had written a few books that contained sexual domination, but she hadn’t thought that much about it after they were completed. Now, she wished she had listened because maybe she could have recognized that trait in these two men. If her legs were not currently restrained, she would’ve kicked herself with a vengeance.

“Well, plain and simple, you should now know that we like to take control in and out of the bedroom,” Xavier added, the simplicity of the words making her shiver.

Not something she ever thought would personally interest her in a million years, being dominated began to sound very appealing. Maybe Cali only thought that way because of how the two men were currently looking at her. She began to connect the dots and understand that everything she’d experienced the night before had to be mild compared to what the pair could do when given the opportunity.

Cali’s mind raced. In her current state, she’d be at their mercy, powerless to stop the actions these men decided to take.

“I’m still not sure I understand. Do you…” Her voice trailed off and she worried her bottom lip. Cali should have been demanding that they untie her then hightail it back to her own room as quickly as she could. Curiosity was battling the uneasiness she was currently wallowing in. Used to controlling every aspect of her life for as far back as she could remember, the idea of possibly relinquishing that was very tempting. Wanting him to explain things in more detail, she looked toward Xavier, a question poised on her lips.

“It’s okay, belleza. You may ask us anything.”

Swallowing the frog-sized lump in her throat, she closed her eyes for a brief moment. It was hard to form words while two very sexy males were eyeing her like she was their next meal.

“What does being a Dominant have to do with me? And for that matter, why the interest in me?” Technically that was two questions, but she wanted answers.

“That is also simple, belleza,” Xavier answered before skimming two fingers down her arm. Immediately, her nipples tightened into hard peaks as intense warmth spread through her bloodstream. Her body’s reaction to his touch didn’t go unnoticed. Xavier glanced down at her breasts, causing those buds to throb with need.

“Pay attention to your body, Calista. We have and that’s why we chose you. You respond to us so beautifully, just as we anticipated. We believe...” He paused for a second, seeming to choose his words carefully before continuing. “Actually, we know that you’re submissive. You just need someone to help you reach your potential.”

Her body responded because she was aroused and it had been a while since she’d found any sexual pleasure with anyone. That was it. Wasn’t it? She was about to ask that question when Zane chimed in.

“To address the second question, the fact that we’re Dominants has everything to do with you. You’re fooling yourself if you honestly believe that we can’t see the control that you hang onto so tightly. Don’t you want the experience of letting go for a small window of time? We can make that happen for you. Just imagine what it’d be like to not have to think about anything. You would only feel. No worrying about how you look, what you’re doing, or even what’s being done to you. No decisions have to be made. All that’s required is for you to lose yourself in the pleasure we can bring. Let us take the enormous weight of the responsibilities you shoulder and carry them for you.”

Zane’s words spun in her mind and she could barely comprehend them before the man lowered his mouth to hers. Cali had anticipated a light kiss. Instead, he sank his teeth into her full bottom lip, provoking a moan. Seconds later, her face was cradled between his large palms as his mouth moved hungrily over hers. In addition to the intensity of his kiss, there was an underlying note of possession. His tongue delved deep inside, stroking and exploring every inch of her mouth.

Zane was not just kissing her. The man was staking a claim. She became lost in the kiss as the seconds ticked past. God! She wanted to touch him, to affect him the same way he was affecting her. Cali pulled at the restraints holding her wrists in place. With each tug, they tightened more, confirming that her attempts were futile. Finally conceding defeat, she allowed her arms to go limp.

Zane continued to kiss her with intense passion, causing Cali to forget that Xavier was even in the room until his broad shoulders spread her legs wide apart.No more than a half a second elapsed before his tongue flattened against her sex, caressing her swollen folds. Zane’s hands moved to her breasts, his thumbnails scraping over her nipples until they ached. Liquid heat pooled between her thighs as she clenched her hands in frustration.

“Please,” she breathed, unsure of whether she was begging them to stop or to continue.

Cali had nothing to hold on to, not even the silk sheets she had clutched tightly so many times the night before. As the pressure of the thumbs brushing her nipples increased, and a set of teeth toyed with her nerve-laden clit, Cali could do nothing more than dig her nails into her palms as the pain-laced pleasure pulled her under. She came hard, whimpering against the full set of lips still plastered to hers. The muffled sounds of her climax were inaudible until Zane tore his mouth away, beginning to nibble a trail down her neck.
