She glances back at me, eyes nervous but curious. She spreads her legs to shoulder width.
“Wider.”
She hesitates but then does it, and from between her ass cheeks, I see the inviting mound of her sex. The glistening pink folds of her lips open. The tiny shadow of her other hole.
I swallow hard, pressing my palm against the length of my erection before moving closer to her and sliding my fingernails over the curve of her hip. With my other hand, I take a handful of hair and twist it around my fist. I press myself against her ass.
She gasps, but I don’t move. Let her feel me. Let her know exactly the beast she’s toying with.
“This is what the women at the Cat House do for me,” I say in a low voice. “For starters. And anything else I ask.”
Nothing. Not a word.
I tug the fistful of hair, straightening her, and wrap my other hand around her stomach to hold her to me.
“Is this what you wanted? You are curious about the Cat House.”
“Let go.”
I hold her tighter. “Tell me.” She shudders as my breath caresses her ear. “Tell me, Mercedes.”
“So I’m no different than a whore to you?” she asks instead of answering me, but I do hear the tremble of her voice.
I bring my jaw to her cheek. I haven’t shaved yet, and I rub the scruff of it against her soft skin. “No, little monster. You are nothing like them. But you are impulsive and spoiled and arrogant. Those things I will break you of.”
“Let me go.”
“You sure you want that?”
“Let go, you fucker.”
I snort and tug her head backward, forcing a cry from her. “Do I scare you?”
“What the hell do you want from me?” she yells.
“Are you ready to listen?”
She grunts, twisting against me.
“For starters, I’d like you to get dressed.”
With a grin, I let her go and step backward. She spins to face me.
“Yet you’re the one who keeps stripping me naked. What the fuck is that about? We’re not in your courtroom, Judge.” She emphasizes my name, my position.
“Get dressed, Mercedes. And eat your food. I’ll be back tonight before dinner, and when I’m back, I’m going to ask you again why you’re here. If you can’t answer, you’ll be spending another day locked in your room tomorrow. After cleaning the stables, that is, so I suggest you think hard. Can you do that for me?”
“I’ll do nothing for you.”
“For yourself then.”
Her face falls, that vulnerability exposed again, at least momentarily. She hangs her head. I just reminded her exactly why she’s here and what she did. All that talk about walking through the dark? I’m sending her there alone. She may be strong, but I get the feeling she’s also been alone for a very long time, and I don’t want that for her.
I sigh. And I decide to give her something. “Would you like to see the boys?” She knows instantly I mean the dogs. She loves them. I noticed that the last time she was here, which was shocking, considering, well, the dogs themselves are a frightening brood to behold. But Mercedes took to them instantly and they to her.
She glances up at me with both suspicion and hope in her eyes. She nods once.
“Get dressed. Lois will bring them up.”
