“You arenottying me up.You can’t.”
“I am.And I can.It might take a little creativity with your casts and all, but I’ll manage.”
“I don’t doubt your abilities, Tony, but I didn’t give you permission to touch me.”
“Really?I haven’t heard you use your safeword, sweetheart.You’re not going to be stubborn and refuse to say it again, are you?”
I wanted to slap the cocky smirk off his lips.Stubborn?Oh, you son of a bitch.You haven’t seen stubborn yet.
“I willneversafeword to you.”Not while my pride was at stake.
“Is that so?”A sparkle of challenge danced in Tony’s dark eyes.“We’ll just have to see about that, won’t we?In case you change your mind, your word is stillprotocol.”
As he peeled off my shirt and bra, I gritted my teeth.The lesson Tony intended to teach was nothing more than a test of wills.Did he honestly have such little faith in mine?Things were about to get ugly, real fast.
Peeking out from beneath my lashes, the lethal calmness of his stare terrified me beyond words.Still, I wasn’t about to clue him in on how thoroughly he unnerved me.When his attention settled on my lips, I flashed a condescending smirk to which he replied with a surly snarl.A part of me wanted to laugh.For a man who made his living helping others unravel their inner feelings, Tony was woven tighter than an Oriental rug.
I’d never seen him so out of sorts.He was always calm and in control until now.He obviously had no trouble doling out his tender aftercare to the throng of pain sluts that fell at his feet, but when it came to me, he hitched up his bad-ass Dom boots.It chaffed, but, at the same time, fed some twisted, impatient part of me that ached to yield to his command.Emotions swirled inside me like a springtime cyclone as Tony unleashed hiscreativity, binding me to the bed.In short order, he had my legs spread wide and one wrist tethered to my casted arm, strung up nice and tight to the headboard.
“Okay.You’ve tied me up.Are you happy now?”
“Sweetheart, the only happy bone in my body is my hard dick.Trust me.It’d be a whole lot happier if it was balls deep in your sweltering cunt.But I’m content having you all splayed out nice and pretty for me.”
Desire slammed down my spine, exploding into the fray of anger and wounded pride.Come hell or high water, there was no way I was going to let my frustrated libido win.
“You obviously aren’t going to spank me, or fuck me, so give me a hint here, Tony.Just what do you have in mind?”
He stroked a broad finger along my cheek.“I hope your tongue’s as wicked wrapped around my cock as it is testing my patience, angel.”
I laughed to hide the shiver of arousal that skittered through me.“You’ve made it quite clear that options off the table.Guess you’re never going to find out, are you?And since you won’t fuck me, do you mind telling me why I’m naked?”
“Stripping away your barriers, sweetheart.”A satisfied grin crawled across his face as Tony pulled a set of clover clamps from his bag.“The real question you need to ask is whether or not you’re going to leave claw marks all over that stubborn pride you’re clinging to, or are you going to do what you really want to and submit?”
“Why ask?It’s obvious what I want doesn’t matter.You’re going to take it whether I give it or not,” I snapped.
“It definitely matters,” Tony declared.“I’m not forcing you to do anything.You’re the one who holds the power, angel.I’m not the enemy.That tenacious pride of yours is.”
He circled one taut nipple with the pad of his finger, then the other.I sucked in a quivering breath as the outer muscles of my stomach rippled.Inside, they swirled, wild with nerves.
“Relax, angel.I haven’t even started yet.”
That’s what worried me the most.Tied to the bed with my nipples hard as cherry pits, cream spilling from my folds, and his dark hypnotic eyes piercing all the way to my soul.Tony was on crack if he thought I held an ounce of control.Heownedmy control, and he damn well knew it.
“Okay, Tony.You’ve proven your point.You can untie me now,” I replied, holding tight to the threads of anxiety unraveling inside me.
“What point is that, pet?”Tony asked, sitting on the mattress, still toying with my nipples.
Unable to stop the tremors that shook me, I issued a heavy sigh of resignation.“That you’re the alpha Dom and I’m nothing but a helpless, hopeless brat.There.I said it.Now let me out of these stupid ropes.”
Solemnly, he stared at me.Dominance oozed from his pores.And damn, if every cell in my body didn’t shriek to give in and allow him full reign over me—all except my head.
“You misunderstand my intentions, sweetheart,” he murmured, plucking and pinching my sensitized nipples.
As he rolled the tightly drawn tips between his fingers and thumbs, pulses of electricity multiplied beneath my clit.Damn my betraying body.
“This lesson slash punishment isn’t about humiliation.And it certainly isn’t about crushing you beneath my boot.I have no desire to break your spirit, sweetheart.This is about boundaries, trust, honesty, and communication, the foundations of a healthy relationship.”
It sounded as though he sought a role far deeper than that of my protector.The idea both excited and frightened me.I didn’t know if I could I give him the level of trust he demanded.Hell, I wasn’t even sure I could share the details of my fucked-up life with him.Yes, I’d confessed my past to George, not because he expected me to but because his protective mien gave me hope that he’d keep me safe.But after learning about dominance and submission, if I truly wanted Tony to guide me, I had to reveal every disgusting scar that scored my heart.This “lesson/punishment” he aimed to hand down served to reinforce how truly vulnerable I’d become beneath his hands.
