"Yes, exactly."
"How do you know about erotic asphyxiation?"
She rolls her eyes. "I might have been a virgin, but remember, I was also an actress. And when I realized I had no roles lined up, not even auditions, I contemplated taking part in an, uh, art film."
An unknown emotion—anger, combined with possessiveness?—twists my guts. "You acted in a porn movie?"
She rolls her eyes, then holds up a finger. "Wait a minute. I didn’t act in it; I only contemplated it. Almost went for an audition, too—"
"You auditioned for a skin flick?" I growl.
She blinks. "Aren’t you hearing what I’m saying? Ialmostauditioned. Except, I got cold feet at the last minute. Doesn’t mean I didn’t do my research."
I slowly uncurl my fingers at my sides. Some of the tension leaves my muscles. I take in the glint in her eyes and realize—"You didn’t almost audition for an adult movie, did you?"
She looks guilty for a second, then shakes her head.
"You said that to distract me?"
She hitches a shoulder. "It worked, didn’t it?"
"Hmm…" I cross my arms across my chest. "You knew I’d be pissed to find out you contemplated taking part in one of them."
"I wasn’t sure, but I thought it was worth a try." She searches my features, and whatever she sees there makes her swallow. "I don’t regret saying it. I wanted to take your mind off whatever you were thinking, and I believe I succeeded."
"Maybe too well."
This time she pales. I expect her to put distance between us, but instead, she tilts up her chin. "Are you going to punish me for almost fibbing, Sir?"
I hold her gaze for a second, then another, and let the silence stretch until she wriggles in place.
"Doyouthink I should punish you?" I purr.
Her breath hitches. Pink crawls up her throat and streaks her cheeks.
"Should I, Little Dove?"
She lowers her chin.
"I didn’t hear you."
"I think you should punish me," she replies at once.
"And how do you propose I do that?"
She peers up at me from under her eyelashes. "By doing anything you want with me."
My pulse rate instantly shoots up. My blood thunders in my veins.How is it that she knows exactly what to say? How can she be so absolutely perfect? How can she be precisely what I need right now?"You don’t know what you’re saying."
She merely smiles. A sweet, shy and very confident smile that makes my heart bang against my ribcage, my dick extends, and my balls grow so tight, I’m sure I’m going to come right then. And I can’t do that. Not until I’ve shown her the kind of pleasure she’s never experienced in her life, and never will again with anyone else. She can’t be mine. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to ensure she’s so high on endorphins that she’ll have a satisfied look on her face and an ache between her legs for the next week. So every time she moves, she’ll remember who fucked her.
"Youdon’t know whatI’msaying." She rises to her feet then launches herself at me.

Penny
He catches me with his big hands under my butt, and I wrap my legs about his waist. I saw the emotions flit across his features. The nightmare he had earlier must have lowered his barriers because I’ve never seen him this open, this vulnerable. This real. And I can’t lose this opportunity to get close to him. Physically. Emotionally. This is my chance to get him to reveal the person he truly is—to the extent he’s willing to share, that is. And maybe I’m making use of the fact that his defenses are down, but that’s okay. A girl’s gotta play with the cards she’s dealt. And the one thing I know is that, regardless of how grumpy and growly he comes across in my presence, he’s affected by my body. If that’s what I have to work with, then so be it. I’m going to use every advantage I’ve been afforded to ensure he never forgets what it feels like to be with me. I twine my hands around his neck and hold on.
