When she went for the blindfold, he covered it with one hand "Don’t," he said in a husky whisper "Just don’t"

Instead, she brushed his hands aside, and took the blindfold off He kept his eyes closed for a h he felt only the soft pads, he kept his head still, mindful of the razor tips he no she wore on several of theot care, lost all his atteainst the corner of his

She hadn’t seeed her pretty, sexy clothes He wanted to take those off, rub oil on her so they would slide against each other Intertwine fingers

Coht or role to play; it sian to ease her down, himself above her, he hoped that the chains around his throat and one wrist were long enough At the flicker in her gaze, he sed, pain gripping hi him over her like this "I won’t hurt you," he said "I justI need" She nodded, those blue-green eyes filled with understanding, and soh this moment was unexpected, an unusual tactic for what he knew of Do he’d ever known She’d known he wouldn’t scrub tiles, or suffer having a man’s mouth on his cock But she’d convinced hi it to him For that brief treasure of tiht in the same paralysis as his body Whatever, whoever she was, it couldn’t be described As she said, it simply was

"You may, Gideon" Her voice was soft, herwith their kiss

She was shaved of course, the pale lips of her pussy as delicate as rose petals around the darkly flushed clitoris Another time, he would want to taste that, drink his fill, nuzzle the silken labia, bury his nose in her musk But noa him lie down upon her, sink deep into her Like a Goddess allowing man to return to Her earth, be buried in Her cothis moment It was in the vulnerable set of her mouth, the quiver of her body A connection, a delicate house of cards that he didn’t want to shatter, so he kept his mind out of the equation Even if this wasn’t what a Mistress would norht He didn’t have to analyze it No thinking

He wanted to keep her safe, especially from hi her, she was all female More delicate than hi, with bones that could be broken He placed a hand on her knee, then slid it up her thigh, seeing his tanned, weather-roughened skin, the size of his hand against the

She could deny him He wasn’t sure why she wasn’t, because he knew that intimacy didn’t happen here that often It was ames and physical release But when she’d walked in, she’d been the answer to the question of this place, the one that had nagged at hi back She was the one he’d sensed here from the first

As she removed it, she arched up, the way she would if he’d entered her and she’d lifted herself toward hi Her breasts brushed his chest, a brief contact His heart ha his hands on the delicate fabric and setting it to the side Her breasts were round and firm, a perfect size for her torso and hips He wanted to devour He wanted to worship
