“Impress me, then,” he demanded, speeding up the frequency of the taps a fraction.“What is rule one?”
He’d ensure she knew those four rules inside out.
“But,” she protested.“I can’t think when you do that, Master.”
“Do what?”he asked, feigning innocence.“This?”
He sped up the crop’s cadence again, lowering it slightly until she moaned.
“Oh, God.”Her head rose at her escalating desire.“Please.”
“Rule.One.”He punctuated each word with a much harder swat to each cheek, his balls tightening as her gasp filled his parlor.
“I will obey you, Master.”She gave the right answer, her eyes closed as her head fell.
“Correct,” he confirmed, sliding the crop back where she so clearly wanted it.“Rule one is that you will obey me.”
“Yes.”She groaned, revealing how she felt about the crop’s new location and intensity.
He liked the spontaneous game he’d created, reveling in the power he had over her in the moment, but also gratified at how much she was enjoying the test.As if her body sought to reassure him on that last point, the sound of her arousal echoed around them every time the tongue connected with her delicious cunt, cementing how perfect she was.
A woman who would kneel and relish her punishment was one thing.But one who could learn to adapt and obey so quickly, even in spite of her objections, was something else entirely.Centuries had proved there was no one else like her.
“And rule two, little one?Show me you’ve been paying attention.”
“We both have our roles, Master.”Her reply was little more than a breathy pant.“You look after me, and I serve you.”
There was no hesitation from her that time, her back arching even further to receive more of the crop’s focus.
“Excellent.”He lifted one and then the other foot from her bare skin, planting them both on the rug beneath her so he could pay closer attention to her pleasure.Even though he knew he should have been teaching her a lesson, there was suddenly nothing more important in his world than winding her up into a tightly furled knot and then watching her come undone.“And rule three?”
“Master.”She sounded so close to the edge.“Will you please let me come?”
“This is your thinking time.”
He shook his head, not only at her audacity for demanding pleasure during the penance, but also at his own folly for instigating it.The stern dictator he had once been was lost in the whirlwind of Kristina, striving to impose himself in the frenzy of all her delectable distractions.
“I know, but please!”Her lips parted.“I know your rules now.I promise.”
“Tell me, then.Rule three.”He kept up the crop’s pace, shifting closer to her backside to enjoy the view.The next few moments pivoted on not only her recollection, but also the implication of his third rule.“It’s an important one, Kristina.Do not disappoint.”
Chapter Eleven
Kris
There had never been passion like that before, never been a desire so strong that it left her breathless.She’d bought toys that had made her come, some of them escalating her pleasure until she cried out, but even during those hot nights when she’d played with herself, she’d never known anything like the desire Kronos inspired.
He played her body as if it were a musical instrument, ratcheting her need until all there was in the universe was him.She hadn’t seen the implement, hadn’t noticed it when she’d settled on the rug, but she felt it all right, its relentless swats driving her closer to ecstasy every time he taunted her with the damn thing.
“Kristina.”
The disapproval in his voice threatened the withdrawal of that hedonism, and gasping, she fought to think.
“I’m not allowed to come unless you say I am, Master.”
In the end, rule three wasn’t so hard to recall.It was the weapon he’d wielded against her the first time he’d coiled her into an aroused spring and refused to let her go, and the one she prayed he wouldn’t use again.
“You are doing well.”His hand brushed over her hip, reminding her that despite the horrendous way he’d turned her into furniture, he’d recently removed the weight of his feet and was instead kneeling by her left side.“One more rule to tell me and you may have your orgasm.”
