Page 40 of His Puppet

I flip her over and climb on top of her before she can finish her sentence, and she yells for me to get off. With quick work, I take off her shirt, but then I pause. There’s a white bandage covering a small section of her back.

Luis would’ve told me if something happened, so he isn’t the one that put this on. Which means…

“What happened to your back?” I asked, ignoring her struggles.

“Who fucking cares? Get off of me!”

Icare. What kind of sex did she have with that prick?

No. Don’t go there. I don’t want to know.

I blink and push the bandage out of my mind. After stripping off her bra, I pin her wrists to her back. She struggles and yells, but my cock only gets harder with anticipation. I don’t know what her problem is with restraints, but I can make her like this. It’s no problem. What I can’t do is trust her enough to be vulnerable around her. She ruined that for herself.

“Quiet,” I snap, securing her wrists with the cuffs.

She lets out a sob, and I still, straddling her with my hand pressed between her shoulder blades.

Tears? Really?

I climb off her then flip her over. My eyes roam her face, and my brow furrows when I take in the tears wetting her cheeks. Her eyes are clenched shut, and her mouth twists with the sobs that shoot out.

I frown. “I’m not going to fall for this, Emily,” I say, although if I’m being honest, I’ve already fallen for whatever this is.

Her eyes pop open, and she looks at me imploringly. “I’m not trying anything.” Her voice cracks, but her sobs cease. “You already emptied your pockets downstairs. There’s nothing for me to even take.”

Lie. I guarantee she already knows I have a knife on me. I always have a knife on me.

I stand from the bed, bend and unclip my sheath. I place it on the nightstand while keeping eye contact with her.

“Blade.” She gives her head a shake. “I mean, Mr. Bianchi, I amnotgoing to try anything. Take these off. Please.Please, take these off.”

For a second, I consider it. Emily was willing downstairs. Eager even.

But she seemed eager to suck me off right before she sliced my ankle.

I shrug off my suit jacket then loosen my tie. “Maybe if you had watched your mouth like I asked you to, I’d pity you. But I don’t, Emily. For some reason, you’ve been under the impression that you can fuck with me and get away with it. The only reason you’re still breathing is because I’m impressed by you, but that’ll only get you so far. Now, please,please …shut the fuck up.” I add a mocking edge to my tone.

Emily looks up at the ceiling and takes a deep breath. Then another.

If she’s acting, she’s damn good at it.

I finish undressing and gingerly tuck my hands underneath her knees. I drag her to the edge of the bed and lean over her, placing myself into her line of sight.

“Relax,”I coo, propping myself up with one hand while caressing her cheek with the other. “You wanted this just a few minutes ago.”

“I don’t like the cuffs.”

“Too bad.”

She turns her head away from me and takes another deep breath, closing her eyes.

“Emily.”

“Fuck you, Blade.”

My eyes widen a second before my face hardens, but Emily doesn’t see it with her eyes still closed. That fucking mouth of hers is going to get her into trouble.

I take a breath and roll my neck, trying to will patience for this girl. My cock throbs against Emily’s leg, and all it would take is a quick thrust to bring relief to the aching that’s in my balls, but I stay still.
