Page 27 of Seducing Selena

Seb’s fingers trailed down my arm. “The first round of the heat was about getting your desperation out of the way. And it’s still there, but now you can have fun.”

“And how do you know I think this is fun?”

Leaning forward, Derek dropped his mouth to my shoulder. “Because it’s fun for me,” he said. “And you’re my match.”

I’d never been tied up before. I didn’t count being chained in the cage. “What do you like about it?”

“It’s like wrapping myself a present,” he said. “Not only can I make the person I’m tying feel incredible and beautiful, but many people enjoy the feeling of bondage.”

Not like I could deny that after I came with their hands around my throat and a belt around my hands. I’d seen pictures of beautiful women twisted into impossible positions with ropes like these. I was neither that small nor that flexible.

“Am I too big for that?”

A choking noise drew my eyes to Nick. “I swear to god, if you just called yourself fat—”

“No,” I said. I knew I wasn’t. But there was a big gray area between being the skin and bones blonde girls you saw tied up and delicate, and being what the rest of the world considered fat. I didn’t give a shit, as long as people were healthy. Which was why I looked the way I did. “But I have hips. And an ass. I’m soft. I’ve never seen anyone like me tied up like this.”

Derek’s eyebrows rose. “So you’ve seen pictures?”

My face and chest flushed. “Of course. Everyone has.”

“Mhmm.” He sounded like he didn’t buy it. “Well, the answer isfuckno. You’re not too big, and anyone who says someone is too big for bondage doesn’t have enough of an imagination. You want to try it?”

“Okay.”

The hesitation in my voice made him pause. “If you don’t like it, we’ll get you out.” He touched the cushions beside him, where I hadn’t seen a little pair of dull scissors. “Promise,gattina.”

“Okay,” I said again.

Derek pulled me to my knees on the cushions, and just him entering my space was enough to make me close my eyes. That sweetness and mountain air scent—I wanted to collapse onto the cushions in front of me andpresent. Maybe lilacs? No, that was too floral for what he smelled like. And it was too rich for jasmine or honeysuckle. It was just sosweetand delicious.

The first touch of the rope on my skin made me gasp, because it was nothing like I imagined. It was soft, but it wasn’t just that, it was thewayhe laid it against me. Directly and intentionally, skimming his hands over it as he placed it. It was slow, sensual, and so much more intimate than I imagined it would be.

He wrapped the rope around me under my breasts and then over them before ensnaring my arms behind me. They rested against each other, tight but not uncomfortable. Rather than discomfort, this felt… cozy. Was that something you were allowed to say about being tied up? Every pass with the rope somehow made me feel safer and more compressed.

I supposed it was all a part of the nesting instinct. Omegas needed the small and the dark. The cozy. Enclosed spaces and defined boundaries in order to feel safe. The irony of feeling safe while an Alpha was deliberately making it so I couldn’t move wasn’t lost on me.

When my arms and torso were secure, Derek leaned in, wrapping himself around me. “I’m going to lay you down so I can work on your legs.”

He tilted me, and the shift in weight was different from when you laid yourself down. No control and total reliance on the other person. And the way he gently placed me on the cushions, no part of me doubted that he would catch me.

One by one, he folded my legs, challenging my flexibility and looping the ropes until my ankle pressed into my ass, and Ilovedthe feeling. As turned on as I was, I could fall asleep like this. I was like being held without being held.

“Someone likes this,” Derek said, rolling me over to work on my other leg and exposing my pussy to the air. No chance of denying it. I was soaking wet, slick coating my thighs and the rope near them.

“I do,” I admitted. “It feels like a hug.”

My head was light, floating and falling in a space that was nothing but clouds and bliss.

“Hey, little one.” I looked to my right, and hadn’t noticed when Sebastian came so close. He was right there, smiling. He had a pretty smile. “Do you remember what I told you about what I like?”

“A little.” I was too floaty to remember things. Derek’s hands on my skin tightening the last of the ropes felt so good I was going to beg them to fuck me.

“Derek has you tied open,” he said, just as I was rolled on my back. My arms were beneath me, but they felt fine, and he was right. I was open and ready. Any one of them could take me and I couldn’t stop them. But I’dchosenthis, and that was what made white hot spirals of lust burst through me. “And I’m going to play with you. Let’s see if you remember.”

Suddenly, his mouth was between my legs, and I couldn’t see or breathe. There was no where to go with the rope holding me like this, and my inability to move made the pleasure that much more. “Oh my god.”

Soft laughter from around the room. A hand smoothed my hair off my forehead. Nick was there, kissing me. Tilting my face to his. “You feel good?”
