Page 50 of Burn With Me

It had been longer than I wanted to admit since I’d teased someone, but how hard could it be? Probably not too hard.

With my decision made, I pulled on the little string that tied the front of the summer dress up and let the ends drop, the soft material instantly pulling apart to show off a lot more of my cleavage and the fact I wasn’t wearing a bra. I pulled the clip from my hair, allowing the soft waves to fall around my shoulders, and gave it a fluff. Giving my nipples a tweak so they stood out, I smiled at my reflection.

“All right, Asher, let’s do this,” I whispered as I gathered my courage and pushed the doubt aside. I took a deep breath, opened the door, and almost slammed into Asher’s chest.

Violet

His hand was raised like he was about to knock, but his eyes found my cleavage. The passion that remained at a low simmer between us spiked through the roof at his close proximity. His heated stare only made it worse.

“Were you wanting me to stay in the restroom?” I said. Feeling very stupid for my silly question, I wanted to smack myself on the forehead.

“You really are the sexiest person I’ve ever met when you’re nervous.”

My cheeks flamed hot along with the rest of my body. There was no point in trying to explain my temporary insanity away. He knew I was nervous, so I stepped into his space. Placing my hand on one of his pecs, I bit my lip. His muscles immediately flexed under my touch, and his forearm grew taught as he squeezed the doorframe.

I could feel the rapid beat of his heart, and that knowledge gave me a bit more courage. Sliding my hand up his chest, I softly ran my nails against the bare skin of his neck. His expression darkened and then flared with desire. I could see it burning in his eyes as clearly as any fire.

“Is this what you really want, or are you messing with me? Because you acted like you were unsure a moment ago, so which is it?” His eyes narrowed as they searched my face.

Raising up on my tiptoes, I leaned in as close as I could without our bodies touching. “Why can’t it be both things? I’m unsure, but it’s also what I want.”

I took a shuddering breath and tensed as his fingertips brushed my throat, the darkened look telling me he wanted to do a whole lot more.

My pulse danced as I pictured him tightening his grip.

His arm snaked around my body and spun us around until my back was pressed against the wall out in the hallway next to the door of his bedroom. He was predatory in the way he was staring at me, and I was fucked in the head. I had to be because all I wanted was more.

“I need you to be clear, Vi. I want you to be fully aware of what it means when we go into the bedroom.” Asher’s voice deepened, and my legs shook as he brought his lips closer to my ear. His thumb was sitting over the pulse in my neck, and I knew that he had to be able to feel how fast my heart was racing. “I need to be in control, but I promise I will make sure you have everything you want and desire, even if you don’t know what that is yet.”

His lips brushed along the line of my neck, and if my pulse spiked any higher, I was going to pass out. I had no idea why this man affected me like this, but there was no denying what my body wanted.

“Where is that saucy mouth now?”

My eyes narrowed into slits as I glared at him. “You’re a conceited asshat.”

“There she is. Don’t ever lose that mouth. I like it.” He nipped my ear, and my knees shook violently. “Are you one hundred percent sure about this? I want you to be sure because there is no going back for me once you say yes. We will cross a new line, and I don’t intend to let you run away from it. Do you understand what I mean?” Asher’s leg pressed between mine. I had to resist the urge to rub myself on his leg.

“I understand, and yes, I want this, whatever it means,” I said, my voice a little firmer despite the quaking in my body.

“No. You need to understand that I will be in control of your body and pleasure. That I want to wrap my hand around your neck and make you come while I’m doing it.” A shudder ran through my body.

He was serious.

“I want to smack your pussy and your ass until they are pink and pretty, all while I order you to behave.”

He ran his nose up my neck and slid his lips over to my ear.

“I will use an assortment of toys on you that please me, then fuck you until I decide we’ve both had our fill.”

He grabbed my chin with his thumb and forefinger, forcing our eyes to meet.

“Do you consent to those things and more as we go, Vi?”

All I could do was nod. My mouth wasn’t working, but my libido was dancing off the charts.

“A headshake is not an answer, Vi. Say, yes, I understand, or no, I do not.”

“Yes. I understand.”
