She turned her attention back to Brian "What are you going to do, then?"

"It’s a surprise," Brian said "But I pro me set it up, that’s al "

She hesitated, and then went to kneel beside Jace in the center of the bed

"Lift your hands above your head"

She obeyed

"A little higher"

Jace fastened the chain to a hook in the ceiling and then whispered sohtly less pale when she lowered her arms to her sides Jace hopped off the bed and returned to Brian’s side From his suitcase, Jace pul ed a pair of leather cuffs that were lined with fleece "Make sure you leave enough room for blood flow, and take her arms down from the hook occasional y or she’l lose circulation to her hands" Brian was surprised by how --a leather strap with a rubber bal --fro and begging, you’l probably want to gag her so you don’t give in to her pleas"

Brian wasn’t going to gag her "Crying and begging?"

"I’ to think there’s more to this than I realized"

"Don’t be afraid to experie her trust If she starts freaking out, you should stop what you’re doing and do so you know she likes for a while Push her, but not too hard You guys haven’t been together very long"

Brian took a deep breath and nodded

"Once you get her bound, blindfolded, and unable to hear anything but the music in her ears…" He pul ed an MP3 player out of his pocket and pressed it into Brian’s free hand "…cal for me and I’l show you some techniques She’l never know I’m there"

"I’l cal you if I need you"
