“I don’t,” I snap before I pause and clear my throat. “I don’t belong to anyone.”
Mal’s eyes flash, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl. “Yes, you do.”
His gaze sweeps over me with an intensity that makes my skin flush. “And considering that, I suppose this is all for me.” His eyes dart to mine. “Though I did tell you tostrip.”
Heat floods my traitorous core. I tremble and reach for the strap to the demi-bra.
“No,” he mutters. “Leave it on.”
There’s a hungry amusement in his tone and his gaze.
“And come here.”
He crooks his fingers again. Fire sparks and claws inside me as I take one tentative step toward him.
Mal stops me with a shake of his head.
“Ah-ah-ah. On your hands and knees.”
I stare at him. “Excuse me?”
“You’re going tocrawlto me.”
The room goes still. I swear, so does my pulse for a second as my eyes lock on him.
“Don’t ask me to repeat myself,” Mal growls. “You heard me the first time.Crawl.”
There’s something in his eyes. Or maybe his tone. Whatever it is, it feels like something else is controlling me as I feel myself slowly drop to my knees. I lower my eyes, my cheeks flushed as I stare at the space in front of me and place my palms on the floor.
“Good girl.”
Fuck.
A dark, needy pulse throbs inside me at the words.
“Now—come to me.”
An arresting tingle ripples over my skin as I start to move, putting one hand and one knee forward, then the other, crawling across the floor to Mal until I’m right in front of him sitting back in the chair.
“Look at me.”
I barely can bring myself to, but I do, raising my face and my eyes until they’re captured by his piercing blue ones.
“Undo my belt.”
It feels like someone’s doused me in fire.
Again, Iknewsomewhere in the back of my mind that this is where this was going. I’m not that naïve. OfcourseMal’s demand that I become “his” would be sexual in nature.
Butalsoagain, coming face to face with it is like jumping into the deep end without knowing how to swim.
And I don’t have a life vest.
“I don’t believe I stuttered.”
I shoot him a frosty look, shaking my head from side to side, as if I’m rendered speechless.
Maybe I am.
