“I used one earlier.”

I hadn’t even noticed but I trusted him and kept digging around. What I found made me swallow a gasp.

I lifted the item and bit my lip as the moonlight glinted off metal. “So you really do have handcuffs,” I managed once I’d caught my breath again.

“Former cop,” he said easily, but I had a feeling he was waiting to see how I’d react.

Knowing he was watching me as I ran a fingernail along the links made my skin prickle with awareness. “So this thick padding is standard issue? I didn’t realize that the police force in this jurisdiction is so concerned with comfort.” I lifted my gaze to his. “Very admirable.”

“Oh, sweetness, the one thing I’m not is admirable.”

“Technically I was referring to the force, not you. But if that’s so, even better. I think Billy Joel said it best. You know, laughing with the sinners and all that. Being good all the time kind of sucks.” Catching my tongue between my teeth, I leaned up to press my breasts into his chest.

And when he lowered his head to skim his mouth over my ear, I closed the cuffs around his wrist.

He stilled. Not moving, not breathing. Then he turned his head and bit my earlobe hard enough to make me whimper. “Fast reflexes.”

Uh-oh. He sounded…displeased.

Trepidation snaked through my veins and extinguished the quick glow of pride. “The crew calls me monkey,” I said flippantly. “I used to climb up the lighting rigs all the time.”

He cocked his head, eyes gleaming. “That so?” He tipped up my chin with his thumb. “How many positions can you get into?”

I hated that I flushed. How annoying. We’d already had sex, for God’s sake. “We should figure out how manyyoucan get into, since you’re cuffed and at my mercy.”

Even as I said it, I realized the ridiculousness of my response. He had one wrist cuffed—and it wasn’t even attached to anything. He basically had the same freedom of movement as he’d had before, with the addition of an annoying piece of padded metal to slightly hamper his speed.

Jed lifted his arm and let the cuff dangle near my face. “You think so?”

That glint in his eyes was starting to freak me out. Wetness trickled down my inner thighs as I scampered backward on the bed, expecting him to lurch forward and slam into me without even giving me time to cry out. Craving that.

But he only reclined beside me, spreading out his big body over his tidy sheets. Then he reached up and snapped his cuff over the headboard.

My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. “What did you—why?”

“You wanted me at your mercy.” His mouth curved. “Do your worst.”

WatchingPeyton worry her bottom lip as she considered what she’d set in motion almost made being cuffed worth it.

Almost. Not quite.

I debated pushing down the waistband of my pajamas to give my dick room to breathe. Maybe that would spur her into action.

She’d gone stone still, her big eyes taking me in while she rubbed her palms over her hips. Clearly she hadn’t expected me to adapt so readily to this change of events.

That made two of us.

“More condoms are in the back of the drawer you found these in.” I jerked my chin in the direction of the nightstand. She still didn’t move.

“So, ahh, what can I do to you?”

My brow lifted. “What do you have in mind, wildcat?”

A hint of a smile lifted her lush mouth before she turned to root through the nightstand. She returned with a handful of condoms and tossed them beside me before tugging my pajama bottoms down.
