“You did a fine job. I admire your patience in handling the situation.”
The praise warmed Mike from the inside out, chasing away more of the tension he carried. He nuzzled his face against the nicely scented skin of Aiden’s inner thigh. “Thank you, Sir. And thank you for helping me relax.”
“You’re welcome. And I have something that’s going to make you feel even better. Do you want to know what it is?”
Mike tipped his head back to look up at Aiden. He was beautiful, the lamp light warming his skin and shining on the long, ink-black strands of hair around his shoulders. Simply looking at him helped to ease Mike’s tension.
“You don’t have to do anything tonight. I’m going to use your body to make us both feel good. All you have to do is lie there and enjoy it. Would you like that?”
Mike sighed, a shudder of relief running through him. Letting go of everything was exactly what he needed right now. His chest swelled with emotion at Aiden giving him the perfect way for him to relax. “Absolutely,” he answered.
Aiden stood. “Come with me.”
He held a hand out, tugging Mike to his feet when he accepted it. Mike followed as Aiden lead the way up to his bedroom, his silk robe flaring behind him.
In the bedroom, Aiden undressed him quickly and carefully before guiding him to lay in the center of the bed. Mike turned his head to watch as Aiden went to his dresser and took out several silk scarves. He came back to the bed, pretty colorful silks fluttering in his grasp as he walked.
“I want to restrain you tonight, pup. Are you okay with that?”
“Yes,” he easily answered. Aiden really did want to ensure that he didn’t do any work. And he was okay with that.
Aiden kept one of the scarves—a black one—in hand and let the others float to land where they would atop Mike’s nude body.
“Raise your arms.”
Mike obediently raised his arms over his head. Aiden grasped his wrist and wrapped the red silk around it, tying it in a secure knot. The material was cool against his skin. He kept his gaze on Aiden as he tied the other end of the scarf to the bars in the headboard. When he finished, Aiden leaned over to press a short kiss to Mike’s lips.
“You look good tied up,” he whispered against his mouth.
“Thanks,” Mike said.
Aiden smiled, but he’d already moved to the end of the bed, grabbing another scarf—red—along the way.
He tied Mike’s ankle to the footboard. Then, he moved to the other side of the bed, snatching up a blue scarf to bind his right foot. After that, there was only Mike’s right arm remaining. Aiden took up the final scarf—a deep emerald green—letting it trail over Mike’s chest and up his arm before he began tying him to the headboard. Once Mike was completely restrained, Aiden gently tapped him on the nose.
“I know you have super strength and can easily get out of these bonds. But I want you to allow the feeling of being tied up for your Dom’s pleasure relax you, okay?”
Mike drew in a deep breath through his nose and slowly let it out. This was his first time being tied up. It affected him exactly as Aiden had said it would. Flat on his back, without the use of his hands, he didn’t have any thoughts other than what Aiden was doing to him. He was bound, but he felt completely free. “Okay.”
After his agreement, Aiden climbed onto the bed. He straddled Mike’s hips, warm thighs pressing against him, their intimate places brushing together. Aiden leaned down, the strands of his hair tickling Mike’s arms. The sweet-smelling ebony curtain of hair enclosed them together, blocking out the world right before Aiden kissed him. In that moment, Mike decided that black was his favorite color.
They kissed for long moments. Their lips softly clinging, then parting on an inhalation. Aiden licked into his mouth, riling him up with playful curls of his tongue until he flipped a switch and began kissing him deeply. His Dom completely took over the kiss, practically controlling Mike’s every breath. Mike sunk into the kiss, focusing only on what was happening on the bed in that moment and letting everything else float away.
After a final tiny bite to his lip, Aiden rose. He reached out and brushed a thumb over the spot he’d just bitten. A tingling sensation followed behind the touch and Mike shivered in response.
“What was that?” he asked in surprise.
“Did it feel good?” Aiden asked from atop him.
“Yes.”
“It’s something I’ve been practicing for you.”
Aiden reached out to drag his fingers down Mike’s throat, bringing more of that effervescent sensation along. When Aiden got to his chest Mike looked down. Golden sparkles shimmered around his Dom’s fingertips as he moved them over his skin.
“I didn’t know you could use your power like that.”
“I couldn’t—not until I met you.”
