“What happened?”

I glance down, following his eyes to the bandage on my thigh. “Oh. Rhett did that. I asked him to.”

At that, Elliot smiles. I reach for the hem of his shirt, but he pushes my hands away.

“What did I tell you, love?”

I huff. “I don’t get what I want until you say so.”

“That’s right. And I suggest you be a good girl and listen, or this is going to be a lot harder on you than necessary.”

A whimper escapes my lips unbidden as Elliot pulls my bralette off and tosses it onto the floor. I know this will be worth it—Elliot always makes sure I’m more than satisfied—but it’ll be torture first.

“Will Oliver and Rhett be disappointed that they’re missing out?” I ask. We didn’t get a chance to celebrate last night, and I don’t want them to feel left out.

“Nah. I don’t think either of them slept that well. I checked, and they’re both still passed out in Rhett’s bed.” Elliot grabs one of the bundles of rope. “Which means you’re completely mine for the next couple of hours.”

Elliot pushes me onto the bed before crawling on with me and positioning one of my ankles. “Keep it like that for the moment.”

I stay still, watching as he loops the rope around my ankle. His movements are filled with a confidence that I findveryattractive, and the way he ties me with such care sets me at ease.

As Elliot continues, my breathing deepens, and tension I didn’t realize I was holding in my muscles flows out of me. By the time I’m on my back and tied spread-eagle to the bed, my mind is blissfully empty.

“How do you feel?” Elliot double-checks the tightness of the ropes before running a finger down the center of my body.

My response is a satisfied, happy hum. I do my best to stretch toward him, hoping he’ll give me a kiss, but he doesn’t.

“If you start to get uncomfortable, just tell me.”

“I will,” I reply as I eye his lips. I know better than to ask for a kiss, but god do I want one.

Elliot moves off the bed. “You’re gonna hate me for this next part.”

“You mean I’m gonna hate myself.” I wiggle and tug my wrists to test the ropes. “I could’ve backed out. I chose not to.”

A smile tugs at his mouth, and he lowers himself into the reading chair by my bookshelves. When he settles in and gets comfortable, my heart skips a beat.

“What are you doing?”

His gaze roams over my body, leaving me squirming with want. “Enjoying seeing you tied up like this.”

My jaw drops. This whole time, I was thinking he’d at least be touching me in some capacity. Teasing me, edging me, using me. But he’s not even going to do that.

This isn’t fair.I almost say the words out loud before I catch myself. This is exactly what I signed up for.

At first, I try to accept my fate. It’s not like he’ll keep me here forever, right? Elliot’s patience will run out eventually. But the longer he stares at me, the harder it is for me to findmypatience. I’m completely on display for him, and he hasn’t taken off an inch of clothing.

I’m not sure how long it’s been when I finally pull against the ropes binding my wrists. A pitiful whimper escapes my mouth, and Elliot smirks.

How long is he going to just sit there?

“Regretting your decision, love?”

I smirk back. “Worth it.”

He crosses one leg over the other as his smile widens. “We’ll see if you’re still saying that in an hour.”

I bite back my groan. Elliot doesn’t budge. I’m literally aching for his touch, but he just continues moving his eyes across my body. I can practically feel his gaze, especially when it lingers between my legs.
