“Amos…” is all he can say.

“Only you.”

Releasing the cuff around his wrist, I slide my hand inside the sleeve.

Up and down.

A feather light kiss on his lips.

“Nervous?”

“A little.” His breath hitches. “A lot.”

“Don't be… I’ve got you,” I soothe. “Pleasure before pain.”

Reaching for the zipper, I ease his nerves with a helping hand.
