“Yes,” Jade said softly.

“Then close your eyes.”

Jade hesitated. Being restrained was one thing. But not being able to see what was coming? The uncertainty, the complete loss of control? That was terrifying. It was why blindfolds were one of her hard limits.

But this wasn’t anything like being blindfolded. She could open her eyes if she wanted to. And she had her safe words.Red, yellow, green.She still had her power.

And Simone would keep her safe.

Taking a deep breath, she shut her eyes.

Simone brushed her fingertips along Jade’s arm. “Good girl.”

And just like that, any doubts that remained were silenced. This was the side of Simone that had drawn Jade to her in the first place. The side that was as tender as it was firm, as gentle as it was commanding. The side of her she’d seen that first night in Simone’s mansion when she brought Jade home and ordered her to rest while she took care of everything.

That side of her? It made Jade’s heart flutter just as much as it made her body throb.

Slowly, Simone reached down to Jade’s hips, taking the waistband of her panties and drawing them down to her bound ankles.

“Stay nice and relaxed like this,” she said. “Don’t tense up or try to anticipate me. And I’ll be keeping an eye on you to make sure you’re all right, understand?”

Jade nodded, burying her head in the pillow beneath her. Seconds passed, the rush of her pulse in her ears the only sound she could hear.

And when Simone brought the flogger down across Jade’s ass, it was with a thud that reverberated through her whole body.

Jade winced. It had hardly hurt at all. But Simone liked to start slow, teasing her, tormenting her, building to a divine crescendo.

Would the climax be as earth-shattering as Jade had imagined?

Another firm thud as the flogger’s tails fell upon Jade’s ass. The next strikes were to her upper thighs, one after the other. More followed, in a practiced rhythm that echoed through the room, unceasing, unrelenting, each beat more intense than the last.

Jade hissed through her teeth, her arms and legs pulling against the ropes binding her to the bed. Her ass and thighs burned, each of the flogger’s tiny tails a sharp sting on her raw, sensitized skin. But as the stinging subsided, it left behind a heat that set her body alight.

The flogger disappeared, replaced by the soft caress of Simone’s hands.

“Did that hurt, princess?” she crooned.

Jade nodded.

“Do you want me to stop?”

Jade shook her head, her words muffled by the pillow. “Don’t stop. Green.”

“You’re starting to feel it now, aren’t you? How freeing this can be?”

Jade murmured wordlessly, drunk on adrenaline and sensation.

“Lean into that feeling,” Simone said. “Surrender to it.”

She brought the flogger down again, over and over, an unending melody of strikes that made Jade’s body sing. The ropes around her wrists and ankles crumbled away. The bed crumbled away. Her inhibitions crumbled away. All that was left was the desire blazing through her body.

And when the next strike hit, Jade couldn’t stop herself from crying out. Not in pain, but from an intense physical craving, a need for something she couldn’t put into words.

No, it wasn’tsomething. It wassomeone, Simone. Her touch. Her kiss. Simone’s body against hers, her fingers inside her until she was utterly consumed by all that Simone was.

A desperate whimper rose from Jade’s chest.

“I’m here.” Simone placed her hand on Jade’s shoulder. “Open your eyes. I’m right here.”
