My gaze snapped up and met his. “I’ll leave your hands free…this time,” he said, then gripped my hips and shifted my body until my butt rested on the edge of the sling.
Uff. My heart raced with anticipation.
He lifted my left leg, tied the silk restraint around my ankle, then lifted it up and fastened it to a D-ring above. He did the same with my right, and when he was finished, my legs were bent and suspended in the air, as if I were lying in a gyno chair, leaving me completely open and exposed.
My heart pounded in my chest, anticipation and trepidation warring within me.
“Are we green?” Gabe asked while he slid his hand up and down my inner thighs.
Memories of my captivity—before Gabe took me—flooded my mind. The cold cage, the lash of the whip, the utter helplessness I’d felt.
Fear threatened to suffocate me.
Without warning, Gabe flicked his finger against my clit, snapping my attention away from the past and into the present.
“Are we green?”
I nodded.
“What was that thought?” Gabe asked, concern etched on his handsome face.
“Just a memory.”
“Of what?”
“The cage.”
The storm brewing in his eyes was all I needed to completely calm back down. “I’m good.”
He held my gaze. “Use your safe words, Stellina.”
I nodded. “I will.”
He pulled a flogger out of the back pocket of his slacks.
I hissed.
Bound to the sling, I couldn’t move.
My heart raced. Fear clawed its way back into my chest.
Gabe’s dark eyes held mine. “Relax.” His voice was filled with warmth and understanding but also steel. “Follow my breath.”
He inhaled and exhaled visibly, deeply.
Once, twice.
I followed his rhythm, focused on the rise and fall of his chest and abdomen.
A hint of a smile played upon his lips when I relaxed and lay back.
“Remember,” he said, lifting the flogger and letting the strands run along my thigh. “This is about trust. About showing you that there’s pleasure in surrendering control. About showing you how much I like to be in control. And it doesn’t necessarily mean inflicting pain.”
There was a tender intensity in his eyes. “I promise I will never hurt you…too much.” His dark promise, paired with an evil half-grin, sent an unexpected jolt of arousal through me. My skin tingled, and wetness pooled between my legs.
Holy shit, yes, please, yes.
He waited, took in my reaction, then his grin deepened.
