Once fully undressed, Gabe led me to the swing and helped me onto it. The leather was warmer than I’d expected and cradled my body much more comfortably, too.
His eyes slid over me, from my mouth, to my breasts, to between my legs.
A thrill of excitement coursed through me when he hummed low, then slowly unbuttoned his black shirt, his eyes devouring my body as if I was lying there as some kind of sacrificial offering, exposed and completely vulnerable.
For him.
Gabe unbuttoned his cuffs, then shucked his shirt.
The sight of his strong, muscular body, his tattooed chest, and chiseled abs, made me grab the chains and sit up.
I needed to touch him.
The full force of his dark eyes hit me. “Do not move.”
I froze, my heart did a double beat, and my breathing became erratic when I slowly lay back down.
My gaze locked with his. His dominance was like a physical force between us.
Holy shit.
For a second, my stomach tightened. This was too much; I couldn’t do this.
He must’ve felt my panic because he was immediately by my side.
Gone was the dominance, the hard edge; instead, the weight of his gaze settled on mine, his eyes full of intensity and kindness as he assessed my reactions.
“Tell me what you’re feeling.” His voice was like a velvet caress. He cupped my face with his hands, and I could see everything I needed in the tenderness of his gaze—the love, the determination, and the promise that he would do everything in his power to ensure my happiness and safety.
“Exposed…vulnerable, frightened,” I admitted, my voice barely a whisper. “But…safe.” My heart slowed in my chest, and the feeling of fear slowly subsided.
“Good,” he murmured, his breath warm on my face. “I want you to feel safe with me, always.” He gave me a kiss on the lips.
“Here’s the rules,” he said, then kissed me again. “If it gets to be too much, if you need to pause, you say ‘yellow’, and if you need to stop, the safe word is ‘red’.”
“Yellow and red.”
“Good girl. You will use them if you need them, understood?”
I nodded.
“I need to hear you say it, Mia Stellina.”
“Yes.”
“Good,” he murmured, a small smile playing on his lips.
He let go of my face, then moved to a shelf behind me.
I strained my ears, waited.
When he came back around, the silk ties in his hands caught my attention, and my stomach twisted with a mixture of anticipation and fear.
Could I really do this? Could I fully submit to him?
Could I trust him completely?
“Eyes on me.”
