She had to get him off that word. “Or I’m perfect for you.”
Both hands cupped her breasts, pulling her back against him. “I’m a little suspicious of perfection, but damn, I can’t help but try with you.”
She could feel the linen of his shirt at her back, the buttons brushing against her spine. Sebastian molded his hands around her breasts, shaping and cupping them as though he was trying to memorize their weight and feel.
“You have a beautiful body. Your skin is soft. I love the way your nipples respond. I’m going to enjoy playing with them. Do you understand that as we move this relationship to a sexual place, I’m going to become a little more demanding?”
She could feel some of his demand at the small of her back, but she wouldn’t use the word little when describing it. “What are you going to require of me?”
“I’ll toss aside any thought of being professional at work.” His teeth grazed her ear while he pulled gently on her nipples, rolling them and tugging until she could imagine his mouth there. “Oh, I’ll be perfectly staid when we’re in the company of customers, but the minute they’re gone or we find ourselves alone, I’ll remind you that you’re mine. I’ll take you into the backroom and put my hands on you so I can remember how silky your skin is. I’ll kiss you for long moments because I’ll need it to calm down after some idiot asks me to put ice in a twenty-year-old Cabernet.”
That would drive him crazy. She could suddenly see whole new ways they could help each other. “Will you find a way to calm me when the customers get obnoxious?”
“Oh, I’ll think of a hundred ways. Sometimes I’ll simply ask you to open your shirt so I can see your breasts. Sometimes I’ll find a place so you can spread out and I can feast on your pussy until you want to scream. You won’t be able to because we’ll be here and there will be people listening in. I’ll have to gag you so you won’t give us away. I’ll have to tie you up so you can’t cause trouble.”
Her whole body was thrumming with arousal at his words. “Break times are going to be very interesting.”
One hand started to make its way down her body, inching toward her pussy. “I’ll make all the times very interesting and after work, you should understand that I won’t attempt to hide our relationship. Perhaps I should, but I know myself. If I’m going to try this, I’ll need the other men to know that you’re mine. I’ll be a possessive bastard and I won’t put up with flirting or cheating of any kind.”
“Good, because I won’t either. You should understand that while I might submit to you in the bedroom, I’m not going to put up with other women.” She couldn’t stand the thought, and that should scare her a little, too. She’d never been possessive before, but she wanted Sebastian in a way she’d never wanted another man.
His hand was almost there, so close to her clitoris. She was almost worried that if he slid the pad of his thumb over her, she would go off like a rocket, and she wanted this to last.
“I won’t ever cheat on you. You should understand that. It’s a touchy subject for me.”
There were lots of touchy subjects for him. He was a mass of touchiness at times, but now all she was thinking about was how nice it was to be touched by him. “You don’t have to worry about me, Master. I only want you. I’ve wanted you for a very long time. I won’t screw it up now.”
“You almost make me forget,” he whispered in her ear. His hand drifted lower, close, so close.
And then he released her.
Tiffany groaned in dismay.
“Don’t make that sound at me. You knew there was punishment coming. I’m not withdrawing affection, brat. I’m getting this out of the way and then we can talk about how we’ll move forward.”
She would be a mass of arousal by then and he expected her to talk rationally? He was a mean Master, but then she’d known he would be a tough nut to crack. And she had lied to him. It had been for the greater good, but it had been lying. She placed her hands on the desk, spreading her legs wide and leaning over so her backside was in the air. That was how he’d wanted her the first time. She wanted to learn his habits and needs and teach him her own.
It started with kink, but she would let the kink lead them so much deeper.
She felt him move away, heard his shoes across the hardwood floors. Then she heard something she hadn’t expected, the slap of something against skin. She looked up because that hadn’t been her flesh taking the smack. He was staring down at her, a paddle in his hand.
Oh, shit. Her heart rate pulsed up and she could feel adrenaline flooding her system. There it was, that primal voice that told her to flee. The one she would ignore because running away when she was so close to the finish line seemed like a cowardly thing to do.
Besides, the torture was part of the game.
“You don’t have to be quiet during this session,” he said, his voice grim.
“I’m going to try,” she replied with an anxious laugh. “Because there are a bunch of people walking around out there.”
“I told you I won’t hide the fact that you’re my submissive from the staff. Not if this is more than a cover for Milo Jaye. If this is real, there will be no hiding from the people who know us.”
“Some of them aren’t in the lifestyle. They might not understand.” Though the Taggarts tended to be careful about who they hired, she didn’t want anyone to think Sebastian was abusing her.
“I don’t care,” he replied. “I only care about living our particular truth. And that begins with not lying to me again.”
She heard the slap before she felt the fire. Pain lashed against her skin and he proved he’d gone easy on her the first time. This was the real Dom, the one who wouldn’t accept her deception, the one who would push her to be the best she could be, the one she was falling in love with.
He brought the paddle down again and again, utterly merciless in his discipline, but then she knew how to stop him if she wanted. They’d agreed on a safe word—one word she could utter that would stop all play—but she wasn’t going to use it. The pain was harsh, but she could feel something building under it.
