“Greedy much?”Nick teased.

“I can’t help it.We’ve only got…” Instead of reminding them our days were numbered, I let my words die off.Like a sponge, I wanted to absorb every sensation and emotion they were willing to share, but feared we’d run out of time.“I mean, I’m anxious to learn, Sir.”

Nick spanked my ass with a growl.“This all stops if you can’t be honest.”

I gasped as the sting climbed up my spine.“We only have a few short days, Sir.I want to learn it all.”

“Much better.”There was a disquieting edge to Nick’s voice as he and Dylan exchanged a somber glance.“We’ll teach you all we can in the time we’re given.”

My throat tightened and my eyes stung.I’d inadvertently pointed out the elephant in the room.And with it, the disquieting realization that, I’d not only allowed them to bind my body, but my heart was already tangled in the ropes of their Dominance as well.

It wasn’t supposed to happen.I wasn’t supposed to let my heart get involved.

A rolling wave of panic washed through me.

“I’m sorry to ask this after you’ve gone to all this trouble of tying me up, Dylan, Sir, but I need to use the restroom.Could you take off the ropes now, Sir?”

ChapterFive

It was a cowardly way out, but I needed a few minutes to gather my thoughts…to cordon off my heart and set some internal boundaries.As they released the ropes, I closed my eyes.My freedom was bittersweet.As each strand fell from my body, a layer of submission went with it.

The slap of reality was too harsh.I wasn’t equipped to handle it.The power they wielded was far more potent and persuasive than I’d dreamed possible.They’d stolen my heart so fast—even after vowing not to let them—I had to reclaim it now.

When the last piece of rope slid from my flesh, I forced myself to walk—not run—to my room.Desperate to compartmentalize my swirling emotions, I raced to the bathroom.After shutting and locking the door, I sat on the edge of the spa tub and scrubbed a hand over my face.

I hadn’t even started sorting a damn thing out before the doorknob twisted and rattled.

“Open the door, Savannah,” Nick’s deep voice thundered from the other side.

“I’m almost done,” I screeched, lurching to my feet and flushing the toilet in ruse.

“You’ve just earned a round of edging.Opennowor we’ll find even more evil ways to punish you, little one.”

Shit.Shit.Shit.

Gripping the knob, I pulled the door open.Their faces were etched in matching disapproval.My stomach knotted, and not in the fun Shibari kind.

“Why are you punishing me?I didn’t do anything.”

Dylan scowled and grunted before walking toward the bed and pointing to the floor.“On your knees and over the bed.”

“But, I—”

“You don’t have permission to speak,” Nick growled.

Trembling like a leaf, I somehow made it to the bed.As I knelt alongside the mattress I saw the black duffle bag on the floor.I had no doubt it contained plenty of wicked devices for unruly subs.

But Iwasn’tunruly.

I was simply confused and needed time alone to sort out my feelings.

Okay, so I hadn’t been honest when I asked Dylan to untie me.But did I have to pay a price for wanting to get my head on straight?

“Lean over the bed and stretch your arms out.We don’t want to see a pinky move.Understood?”Nick barked.

Complying, I closed my eyes.Angst galloped through me like a herd of wild horses.

A foot slid between my legs, nudging my knees apart once, twice, three times, until I was wide open to accept my punishment.Cool air wafted over my exposed pussy.I had no doubt they could see how wet I was.
