She’d been an idiot Of course, he wouldn’t want to be tied up Hadn’t he confided his history to her? It couldn’t have been easy for a powerful male like Aden to admit to her that he’d been a slave in his former life, that he’d been forced to submit to people much weaker than he was--both ht and sold, used like a piece of property

Idiot wasn’t harsh enough She was an ass She crawled off the big bed, determined to fix this somehow She was a writer, damn it Words were supposed to be her forte She shuffled over to the bureau where her few clothes were stashed and realized she’d have to shower first She was sticky with sweat andother things The shoas still running, and her brain had no proble, powerful, naked body, stealy over every inch of smooth muscle and skin

She shook herself out of the fantasy He hadn’t invited her to join him Quite the opposite, in fact He’d even closed the door

Ass, she cursed herself again

But she still couldn’t put clean clothes on over her stinky, sticky body She also didn’t feel like being naked when Aden finally eed from the bathroom Sure, he’d seen, and probably licked, every inch of her, but that was then This was now, and if he was pissed at her, she didn’t want to face hilanced around Aden had been wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt earlier She could pull that on untilShe frowned, realizing he’d picked up all of his clothes on his way to the shower Just her luck She’d fallen for a neat freak Casting around for a solution, expecting the shower to turn off at any ainst the far wall Maybe there was so in there she could put on, a robe or another shirt

She crossed over to the tall closet-like piece of furniture It was sin to the dresser, with latticework cutouts in a floral motif, but the inlays were tortoise shell and sliced so thin that when she pulled open the door, the light shone through in rich gold and chocolate brown She stroked her fingers over the beautiful workmanship as she pushed the door fully openand then she could only stare at what she’d found

There wasn’t a robe, wasn’t a shirt, hanging inside But what there was aroused so s that she couldn’t process them all She’d known Aden was dominant and had suspected his dominance was more than simply an alpha male personality, but thisthis hips and chains, handcuffs and ars she could only guess at

She didn’t hear the bathroom door open, didn’t know Aden was there until she felt his heat against her still-naked back and smelled the fresh soap scent of his skin His arer froave its ed the soft suede across her naked breast, and Sidonie felt every one of the ed nipple until it ached Her breath grew uneven, and her heart was going a mile a minute But she wasn’t afraid She was exquisitely aroused, et heat dripping between her still sticky thighs

Aden lowered his ht when I laid eyes on you for the first ti clever, so to break the unbearable erotic tension that was freezing her in place But she could only shake her head ht how beautiful your pale skin would look under the lash," he purred, trailing the flogger down over the curve of her breasts to her belly He lingered above her swollen pussy lips, switching the flogger around and stroking the hard handle between her thighs, before snaking the

Without warning, he snapped the flogger in the air, letting her feel the barest kiss of suede against her thigh Sid shivered, her nipples hard points of desire, her pussy drenched in heat Aden closed the small distance between theth against the curve of her butt She closed her eyes, letting her head fall back against his shoulder

His lips closed over her neck, and she reached up, curling her fingers over the back of his head, caressing hiainst her

"Shall I show you, Sidonie? Would you like to see how pretty your skin would look?"

Sid trembled, afraid to admit her own desires "I want you to fuck me," she said in a whisper so soft that she wasn’t certain he’d heard until his ar around Before she could draw a breath of surprise, Sid found herself bent over the bed, her butt in the air, her legs spread wide as Aden nudged her feet apart

His thick fingers dipped between her legs, spreading her lips, testing her wetness and finding her slippery with arousal "You’re soaking wet, habibi," he chided "Such a wicked girl"

His hand stroked the full length of her slit, gatheringit over the skin of her butt, as if to demonstrate how very wet she was

"Ask nicely," he ive you what you want What you need"

"Aden," she whispered, the words scraping against her dry throat "Go fuck yourself"

His chuckle in response was far too happy As if he’d hoped she’d defy hiirl," he hissed directly into her ear

She heard the swish of the flogger before she felt the sting of its kiss Her pussy clenched, and she could only groan, her back arching as she offered herself, her body begging for what her brain refused to admit

"Pink and pretty," Aden crooned, and then the whip swished again, on her other butt cheek "Mmm," he said appreciatively "Lovely"

"Aden," she said, trying not to whine

"Yes, Sidonie?"
