The second ti her nipples to the surprising edge of pain she craved that usually sent her soaring But he’d stopped He squeezed her breasts around his cock and slid his shaft faster and faster until he ejaculated on her chest But again, no praise from her Dom, no promises that her compliance would be rewarded It was all about him

Ainsley drifted into a place where she al fro No pride, no sharatitude None of the usual subh where she knew her acquiescence would please him Where she knew her total surrender was prized by hias straight up as he drove into her froered her clit, with alot her off

No sweet kisses, or whispered words or loving touching Just fucking His way

The last tiht her ankles up and attached them to her bound hands She’d laid face down on the mattress, her body pinned like a butterfly, unable to ers and then rammed his cock into her ass without pause

This hat she’d feared Bennett would beco to provide her with any type of co to her what ither who had the power and the control

Bennett’s hands were in constant motion over every inch of her bare skin He nuzzled, touched andto soothe her

But it didn’t help When she began to shake, not even the inferno of his skin against hers war her beneath the blessedly hot water as the jets pummeled her sore muscles and the steam thawed her from the outside in

And when the tre more vulnerable now than any other time with him

Bennett gathered her in his arms and piled another blanket on top of them

"I’m still so cold"

"You’re not cold You’re shaken And it’s ruffly, "Never mind It’ll keep Sleep"

But she couldn’t sleep When she wiggled out of his arms, he let her When she crept out of his house a few hours later, he let her do that too
