His hands gripped her hips as his mouth broke from hers, and he moved his attention to the sensitive spot on her neck. Whenever he kissed, licked, or bit her in that area, her body shivered, and she moaned quietly. This time was no different. The second he nipped at her neck just enough to cause a tiny sting, she whimpered and her back arched into him.

Keeping one arm wrapped around her bare back, he slid the other between their bodies and between her legs. His fingers slid into the hem of her shorts and under her panties. Her sex was wet, and he found her clit already swollen. He flicked it with his fingertip as he sucked, bit, and licked her nipples.

"Right there, yes, right there," she panted as her hips rolled into his touch.

He continued the steady rhythm of his fingertip, and within seconds, she was coming apart in his arms. Her head fell back as her hands gripped his shoulders, and he watched the pleasure play out on her beautiful face.

As she started to recover from her release, he wanted so badly to tell her that he loved her, but he knew he couldn’t do that, so instead, he gave into the other impulse he was feeling.

"I want to tie you up." His admission was rough and gravelly.

Her eyes flew open. "What?" she panted.

"You said you’ve never let anyone tie you up. I want to tie you up." Knox didn’t know why it was suddenly so important for him to do this. Bondage had never been one of his kinks. It wasn’t that he would get off on her being bound; it was that he wanted to know she’d allow him to do it.

He needed to know that Laura would let him.

She closed her eyes and said, "Okay."

As much as he wanted this to happen, he didn’t want to pressure her. He just wanted to know that she trusted him enough to do it.

"Are you sure? It’s okay if you don’t want—"

Her lids flew open. "I want to."

His dick swelled in his pants, begging for attention, but that was going to have to wait. Tonight was all about foreplay and pushing boundaries, and Knox wanted to savor every minute, every second of his time with Laura.

She’d explained why she’d freaked out and apologized for it, but he wasn’t under any illusion that it couldn’t happen again. These past few days, he’d been miserable. He was more miserable than he’d ever been in his life, and he’d spent weeks in the jungle with no food, clean water, or sleep.

But he’d gladly do that again rather than not be able to see Laura.

He wasn’t sure what that meant. Probably nothing good. But he wasn’t going to waste time thinking about it tonight. Not when he was being presented with this gift.

Her chest was rising and falling in anticipation. He could see that even though she wanted this, she was a little nervous. He lifted his hand and brushed a stray strand of hair off her forehead, then leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to her exposed nipple. Then he placed another gentle kiss on her other nipple.

One arm wrapped around her lower back, while the other cradled beneath her ass. He stood and carried her the short distance to the bedroom. With each step he took, the silky strands of her hair brushed against his neck as her arms held him tightly.

He felt her body vibrating with anticipation for what would come next. Spoiler alert: It was going to be her.

Laura’s heart was pounding so loudly that she could barely hear anything else over it as Knox carried her into the bedroom. He lowered her down on the bed slowly, then stood and removed his shirt. Her mouth watered at the sight of his bare, tattoo-covered torso. Without saying a word, he turned and walked to the dresser. She lay flat on her back, watching Knox, his back to her, as he opened the top drawer.

It was a coin toss as to which view was better, the back or the front. If forced to choose, she’d have to say front because of his eyes. But a very close second was the width of his muscular shoulders and back. Her mouth watered as she watched his muscles flex. She wasn’t sure if it was from nerves or excitement. Maybe a little of both.

In the back of her head, her voice of reason was screaming that this was the worst idea in the world. She’d come over here to clear the air and get closure, not fall even deeper in love with Knox Savage and live out her private fantasy.

But the opportunity to give herself completely to a man who she trusted implicitly was too enticing to refuse. In a few weeks, Knox Savage would be gone. At this point, the damage was already done. She was going to be broken-hearted. She might as well enjoy the time she had left with him and deal with the carnage of her heart being destroyed after.

Knox turned around slowly, his hands gripping a tie and pulling it taut. The look in his eyes was predatory and possessive. She’d never have pegged him for being possessive; he seemed to go through women faster than a stick of deodorant, but that’s the energy he was putting off.

She’d never thought that sort of energy would turn her on, but it did.

Her inner walls clenched as he climbed onto the bed and straddled her. He lifted one arm, then the other, over her head. Using the silk tie, he circled the material around each wrist, then threaded it through the bars on the headboard. When she’d ordered this bed from Overstock, she’d never imagined that she’d be flat on her back while the man of her dreams tied her up in it.

He pulled the opposite ends of the tie so tight that it pinched her skin slightly, and she winced.

"Is it too tight?" he immediately asked.
