As clever as she’d thought she was being, he was smarter. Though it wasn’t easy for him either, he was willing to empower her and keep her from feeling like a victim.

It didn’t take anything else for her to regroup. She nodded, then bound his other hand carefully, checking the fit of the material before kissing a meandering path down his neck.

His cock jerked between them, inspiring her to do it again and again until he cursed softly and tugged, finding her knots secure.

“Is that okay?” she murmured near his ear.

“If by okay you mean that it makes me so damn turned on I could end this experiment before you’ve really begun it? Yup.” Owen raised his head, then let it drop to the pillow with a groan.

Holly chuckled against him. Oh yeah, this could be fun. “Then I guess I’d better get going, huh?”

“I want to say yes. So why do I feel like that’s only going to make this worse?” Owen flashed her a rueful smile, then nodded. “Do it.”

“Say please.” Holly sat up and tweaked his nipple. Though he wrenched away from her in surprise, he was quick to return. His hard-on made it obvious he hadn’t hated her rebuke, either.

“Please.” Despite her insistence, he seemed genuine when he begged her to continue, so she did.

Holly took her time, exploring every ridge and valley of his body, from his collarbones to the edges of his pecs. If she spent an inordinate amount of time petting his cut abs, he’d just have to deal with her fawning. The hours he put in at the gym or taking Moose for a jog were apparent in the definition of his muscles and the tan skin hugging each of them.

And when she traced the lines from his hipbones to where they disappeared beneath his very low-riding sweats, she wrapped her fingers in the waistband and lifted them over his cock.

A sheen of perspiration made his brow and upper lip shimmer. She inched the soft fabric beneath his ass and down his legs. Before she’d worked them off his feet, he began kicking them off along with his socks.

Owen planted his feet on the bed, then raised his hips, despite her sitting partially on his quads. He made his dick an offering to her.

Now that was an invitation she planned to accept.

Holly reached out and stoked him. She sank lower until her face was even with his dick, then placed a kiss on the very head of his shaft, trying not to grin when he called her name.

“Yes?” she asked, as innocently as she could, while peeking up at him.

“If you do that…”

“Don’t worry, Owen.” She smiled. “I’ve got you. I know what you want and if you let me play, you might just get it. This turns me on too, you know?”

“Oh. Okay then. Go for it.”

“Don’t mind if I do.” She surrounded his cock with her hand and fed it to herself, sucking on him lightly and only gradually taking him farther into her mouth, until he nudged the back of her throat.

“Holly!” The headboard rattled as he shook. But she still had plenty of time to tease him. He had more stamina than that. So she pushed on, lapping at as much of his balls and the base of his shaft as she could while she tortured him.

Until his abdomen rippled in front of her face and his thighs began to tense on either side of her ribs. Only then did she allow him to slide free while licking her lips.

Owen groaned. “So close.”

“I thought you wanted to wait for me?” she asked, secretly thrilled that he had.

“I do. But…I’m not a very patient man.”

“You’ll stay here all damn night if I decide you will.” She put her hands on her hips, though she couldn’t imagine herself having that much self-control.

No, she needed him inside her, soon. But first she was going to give him a break and even them up a bit. She wanted to explode with him, and make his fantasies come true. But to do that, she needed some help too.

Holly climbed Owen until her knees rested on his pillow, on either side of his head. “Bite me if I’m smothering you.”

Owen moaned, but didn’t so much as graze her with his teeth as she sat on his face. Instead, he began to eat her out with such skill and intensity that she had to grip the metal bars next to his bound hands and hold on for dear life.
