“Do I get a massage later too?”
A smile flashed on Jase’s face before he pulled me into the bathroom. He turned on the water, adding bubbles and salts, before sitting me on the counter and pulling my dress over my head.
“I’ll tell you what.” He reached over, dimming the lights. When he started lighting candles, I already felt myself begin to ease. “Aside from the occasional fit to get under my skin, you’ve been great.”
“Fit?”
“No arguing. Hear me out.” His finger pressed into my lips. “I like your brat. I’m not discouraging her, I’m just giving you warning that from here on out, her presence may have consequences depending on how far you want to push me.” He spread my legs, stepping in and moving to hover over my lips. “Consequences that differ from spanking. Ones more my style. If I ease you into them, they might be ones you enjoy. Definitely feel free to let her out any time you wish.”
“What I wish is to let other things out.” At my pull on one of his belt loops, Jase’s eyes closed, and his lips pressed into mine. His free arm hooked around my lower back, sliding me to the edge to press against him. My tongue teased against his, and I broke from his kiss, refusing to let this continue as a one-way street.
“Jase, you’ve given me your terms—my first word and what to do when I hear it. We’re moving forward. I know we’re going slow, or at least in steps, but I need something from you too. This is not a one-sided relationship. Let me. I want to…” The words got caught in my throat. It wasn’t that I was afraid to speak what I wanted, it’s just I never really had to out loud before.
“You’re asking for trouble, doll. Now’s not the time. If we go any further, especially with that, there’s no way I’m making it quick. I have to work on this email situation with Rian.” His gaze lowered to the drawer before lifting back to mine. “There is something I want to give you.”
“There is?”
His hand slid up to my jaw while light brown eyes nearly disappeared from his intensity.
“I’ve been thinking about this since we were outside, and I think you can handle it. I think…it’s the only way to show you exactly what you’re facing with me. I want to give you a gift. The ultimate promise.”
My hands eased from his pants, and Jase stepped to the side, opening the drawer. Shadows flickered across the walls at his movements, but all I saw was the blade as Jase flipped the knife open.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t be afraid.”
“I’m not. I just don’t understand. A promise?”
Jase held the edge over the fire, reaching back to brush his thumb against my lips.
“It’s a gift. The most meaningful one I can give you. We all bleed at some point. It’s who we’re willing to bleed for that matters the most. I choose you. Take my blood, Kody, so that if the time ever comes where you need me, you’ll allow me to bleed for you.”
He grabbed my shaking hand, wrapping his hold to fit around mine as he directed the blade to his forearm. When he added pressure, I surprisingly took over, breaking through his skin and slowly pulling the blade towards me. One inch. Two. Jase moaned, biting into my thigh with his fingers as crimson began to stain the metal. If this had been a test to see if I could handle his darkness, I wasn’t sure. Was it wrong? Right? I was too hot and turned on to care either way. My victim was in control. Blood was flowing and for the first time it wasn’t mine. There was something empowering in that.
“I knew it. Fuck yes.” Jase kissed me hard, locking to the back of my head with his hold. Blood dripped onto my chest, warm as it raced between my cleavage. “I promise tonight and for always, no matter the cost, to protect you. To care for you. To put your happiness, your pleasure, and your safety above my own.” He took the knife. “I promise to be the best friend I’m capable of. To be your…” he nipped at my lip, “semi-lover. You come first from here on out. These aren’t the vows I mentioned before, but they are vows and a promise in blood for us to go forward; to see if this is what we both want. By no means do you have to—“
“Stop.” I wrapped around the hand that held the knife. “What did I say about one-sided?”
I swallowed hard, holding out my own forearm. The scars already there couldn’t be ignored. This was different. This was for Jase. That somehow changed everything.
“Not yet.” He licked his lips, dropping the knife on the counter. Wetness smeared over my back as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in. More, he kissed, blindly unhooking my bra and throwing it on the floor. “Tonight, after Rian leaves, we’ll do your promise. We’ll take our time. We’ll do this right.”
His hand pushed down the back of my panties, lifting me off the counter as he held me and squeezed into my ass. I didn’t wait for permission. I held to him, shifting as my free hand pushed down the front of his jeans. One minute I was grabbing around his thick cock, the next we were spinning, and my back was being slammed into the wall. The kiss Jase cursed me with was haunting. It was everything a kiss should have been: passionate, possessive. It was also something I knew I’d never forget no matter how much time passed. No man had ever kissed me like him. Not even close. They sure didn’t put my needs first or bleed for me.
“You’re in so much trouble.” He turned us, holding me still as he reached over to turn off the water. When he straightened, he sucked against my shoulder, sinking his teeth into my skin enough to have me gasp. “God dammit, Kody. Tonight…” he was back to my mouth. And me, I was back to taking control with my tongue as I continued the slick stroking. He didn’t allow me for long. Jase growled, untangling me from his body and spinning me to lean over the counter. Silver blurred in the candlelight, stealing my attention in the mirror.
Pressure registered as Jase pulled the thongs higher on my ass. The friction sent pleasure sweeping through until I was pressing my fingertips into the marble. With a quick swipe, he jerked the knife through the thin material, throwing them onto the floor. The weight of his hand immediately settled on my lower back.
“I’m not sure whether I should spank your ass or fuck it. I thought we were clear. You get the pleasure. We leave me out of it for now.”
“No.” I met his reflection. “I can’t do that. I…Can I vote for option two?”
Whack!
“Have you ever been fucked in the ass before?”
A yelp was all I could get out before his hand came down again.
