He murmured his approval against the side of my throat. “Good. Now the rest of you. You’re still on guard. Trust me, Princess.”
But it wasn’t that easy. I didn’t think he’d hurt me, not sexually, and as before, I didn’t mind a little roughness.
“One question first.”
Sebastian’s mouth settled into that erogenous zone at the curve of my neck, but he didn’t lift his head to answer me. He raked his teeth across that curve, sending delicious shivers through me.
“Ask away.”
“Just how...how much...how far...are you?”
He’d have to read through my incoherent babbling, but I think he understood.
The weight of his body pressed me into the mattress, but he shifted as he answered me. He braced himself above me with his free hand, the one that wasn’t pinning my arms above my head, leaving me vulnerable and weak.
“Not as much as you’re afraid that I am. I dabble, Lilly. There are certain things I enjoy immensely, but none of them is a requirement.”
“You don’t strike me as a dabbler. I thought you were more of anall-or-nothingkind of guy. A control freak.”
“Hmmm. That’s true, most of the time. Almost all the time, actually, but sometimes, you’re still in control even when it appears that you’re not. As for how far my inclinations go, I don’t know, to be honest with you. I haven’t found the right woman to explore that with yet. It’s not something I’d share with a random woman.”
How many random women were there? Apparently, there hadn’t been anyone significant in his life. “That's a pretty heavy confession.”
“It’s simply the truth. Now, do you want to keep talking or can we...?”
He asked all while his mouth lowered to my nipple, then closed around it. This was what he meant by the illusion of control. He asked the question, appearing to let me make the choice, but by his actions, the decision was already made. It wasn’t one I disagreed with.
My back arched as he suckled first one breast, then the other. He alternated between the two. I tried to stay relaxed like he wanted, but that was impossible. I struggled between the need to satisfy the growing ache and follow his lead.
When I swore to myself, I couldn’t take any more, his mouth returned to my lips.
“This is why the cuffs work so well,” he murmured as his mouth settled over mine in one deep, drugging kiss after another. I relaxed again. The weight of his body was an anchor, grounding me to what mattered and what mattered to me right then was soaking up every bit of pleasure he could give me.
“Get them,” I said before I could give it another thought.
I must have given a convincing order.
Sebastian rose without hesitation or asking me if I was certain this was what I wanted. I would have told him it was. There wasn’t one ounce of indecision in me. When he returned to the bed with the velvet box, my nerves weren’t from anxiety or fear, but from anticipation and excitement. This wasn’t something I’d ever even thought about trying with someone else, but with him, it seemed...natural.
He pulled the glittering cuffs from the box. We didn’t talk. He reached for one hand and then the other, slipping and locking each cuff around my wrist before joining them together with a delicate chain.
Our eyes met over the glittering beauties as he pulled my hands up.
“See,” he said quietly as he pushed my hands back above my head. “Not made for imprisonment. You can break that chain if you choose to. It’s more about–”
“The imagery,” I finished for him.
He nodded as he arranged my hands and then smoothed my long hair into strands that ran down to the top of my breasts.
“What do you see?” I asked, anxious to see myself through his eyes.
“I’m not good at compliments, Princess, but I see the most beautiful woman in the world. And what makes her more beautiful is the trust she just placed in me. You’re fucking gorgeous, Lilly. There’s no other way I can say it.”
I wanted to melt. I didn’t need the flowery compliments that I fed off of with the other men who’d briefly been a part of my life. Just the look in Sebastian’s eyes gave his words meaning and flooded my body with tingling sensations. My nipples hardened, and I squeezed my legs together to try to stop the ache.
Sebastian’s hand smoothed across my stomach, down to my v and cupped me just before he slipped a finger into the moistness he’d created.
“Don’t forget to relax.” He ran the tip of his thumb across my clit just as one finger slipped inside my pussy.
