“I’m here because I got tired of waiting, Eli. I’m old enough now…and I’m yours.”
His cocky response was a close rendition to the very words I’d spoken to him during our confrontation at Baker and Seth’s wedding. Looking at his arrogant expression, I could venture a guess that our roles were opposite this time around. I looked shocked and terrified while he looked confident and determined. Damn, I wouldn’t have thought he could ever look sexier than he had on the cruise, but he’d just proven me wrong.
Unsure of what exactly was going on, I simply stood there, looking like an idiot.
Ari’s confidence never wavered. “I have a scene planned for us tonight.” He looked me up and down. “Think you’re up to entertaining the crowd?” His eyes sparkled. “And our friends, of course. I booked us a spot. Center stage.” He held out his hand to me.
I fucking took it.
My heart pounded.
No, it ached. It ached from the love and excitement.
Our entire table, which included my traitorous sister, Baker, and Seth, started whooping and clapping as Ari led me toward the center stage. Right before we stepped up, the curtain fell away, revealing a spiderweb of ropes…like the ones that used to be in my playroom. It looked strong and sturdy, perfectly tied and large enough to hold two men. Green rope, closely resembling the rope I’d used on the ship, lay in bundles atop a rolling table next to the web.
My legs trembled as I took the first step, nervous because there was so much we needed to say to one another, but overwhelmed with love and lust. Ari, on the other hand, maintained his cocky sashay as he climbed the steps in front of me. It was then that I noticed the zipper that ran down the crease of his ass on the skin-tight leather shorts. Holy fuck! All I’d have to do would be to give that zipper a yank and slip my cock into his ass—making and marking him as mine in front of everyone.
When he reached the top of the platform, he gave his ass a shake and asked, “Do you like?”
I moved up to stand next to him and answered, “I love, angel. You know this.” Using both my hands, I forced him to look me in the eye. “This isn’t something you have to do, Arizona. I’ll love you with or without the bondage. I should have been forthcoming with my kinks. I’m sorry.”
“Focus on the future, lover. Both of us have to learn to let go of the past and all our mistakes. We both made ‘em. They no longer matter. You’re mine and I’m yours. If you do something tonight that I don’t like, I’ll say ‘Havoc.’ Unless you hear that…give me all you’ve got.”
“You’re certain? I could never forgive myself if you did something just because you thought it was what I wanted from you, instead of what you desired.”
“Don’t ask me again. Just because I’m being nice doesn’t mean I’m still not sassier than sin and have a short fuse when I get frustrated. If you make me turn the tables on you, tie you to the web and do God only knows what to your beautiful ass, I don’t want to hear any complaining.” He reached around and smacked my ass for good measure. “Let’s put on a show. This is our two favorite things combined—exhibitionism and ropes.” Leaning up, he kissed me. “We fit perfectly.”
“You haven’t really ever seen me in Dom mode, angel—maybe just a touch of it on the cruise when you acted like a brat. I’m worried that it will…not be for you.”
He literally rolled his eyes at me. “’Havoc’ is my word. If you hear it, stop what you’re doing. Baker spent a lot of time explaining the differences in what you enjoy and what he and Seth do. The thing is, I’m pretty sure I love everything about you, Eli. There’s a lot of you I haven’t had the pleasure of learning about yet. Don’t make me wait any longer. Trust me, Eli. I’ll be honest and tell you if it isn’t for me.”
“I’m gonna want to fuck you once I get you tied,” I told him, not wanting to hold anything back. “Seeing you in my ropes will bring the Dom out in me in a way that will demand a fuck…a hard fuck.” I felt like I needed to give him every opportunity to back out. Hell, he’d hidden from me for weeks and now he was here, ready to sub for me in front of a crowd? It seemed too good to believe.
“Why do you think I’m wearing the shorts with the zipper on my ass crack, Eli? I’ll tell you why—I want you to fuck me once you get me tied. That’s the plan.”
