Despite the heat in his eyes, the s, too powerful There is no start and no end, nothing hich I can th and breadth of what I feel for you I look at you and wonder how I can possibly survive the riot of emotions within me"

"You ently teasing

"You and I know better than anyone how pain and pleasure walk hand in hand Passion, Nikki, remember? And with you, it fills me"

I s, undone by both his words and by the intensity hich he is speaking them

"I want to hold you close To cherish and protect you To draw you in until we are so close that I am lost within you I want to take you to bed, to watch the way your skin tightens beneath ers, the way your body awakens under my touch I want to trail kisses over you until you are lost in so in I want to tie you up and fuck you until there is no doubt that you are mine I want to dress you up and take you out, and show you off, this beautiful, vibrant, brilliant wo I’ve built? All my companies? All my billions? They have no value compared to you"

I open er to my lips "So no, Nikki I will not take chances with your safety I will not fight I will not be defied You don’t want to move in with me That’s fine I’llto propin a sensual haze and not at all sure I heard hiht "What?"

"You heard me End of subject"

"Damien, I--"

His hand is still onand inside me I throw my head back andto tie you up now, Nikki, and there will be no argument, no retraction Are we clear?"

I nod helplessly Liquid desire pools between hten and my skin seeainst it

"But first, I need you naked" He slides his hand out fros, and I mourn the loss of contact Then he takes the hem of er over ertip gliding under the edge where ainst the cup "I like this," he says, his voice soft "I think we’ll keep this on Now turn over," he adds, ers "On your hands and knees"

I lift an eyebrow, and he swats ain, just for the pleasure of another swat, but I’h that ruse and shift the nature of the punishI think I can stand So I comply, and then he unzipswith hi his palm over my rear "Now put your head on thehs "Oh, yes, baby" I hear the heat of desire in his voice and it makes me even more wet

"I want your ass in the air and your cunt open toto fuck you until we lose ourselves in each other Until the universe ss us whole I’er than you ever have before, baby, and I’asht here holding tight to you, buried deep inside you And, Nikki, I’o"

His jeans brush ainst the deni my back, then his lips brush the curve of my ear "You can either be quiet, or you can say ‘Yes, sir’ There aren’t any other choices"

My body is on fire,filled I know he needs this Needs to feelGiving ly Hell, even desperately

"Yes, sir," I say It is all that I can ness in his voice when he says simply "Good"

I expect his touch, but he leaves me on the bed with an order not to move, then slides off and kneels down by my suitcase My face is turned that direction, but fro, but once again I don’t want to risk punish kind of punishh, and when he does I see that he has pulled out two of the new thigh-high stockings that we bought fro with those?" I ask, but he doesn’t answer, just slides one underand arm, then binds my forearm to my calf He circles the bed and repeats the process on the other side of ood pair of stockings

He chuckles "For a good cause," he says "Trust ine what he sees I am on the bed withMy arh in the air andDamien quite the view of"Please, Damien I want you naked, too"

"Do you?" He moves to stand inhis clothing so painfully slowly His chest is well- of chest hair that I like to tease withabout the feel of hiainst my hand, the hot skin and hard muscle of his abdomen He may not have played tennis professionally in years, but there is nothing soft about Damien, and whether he’s in a thousand dollar suit or a fifty dollar pair of jeans, he is sex and power and sensuality personified

As if he realizes that he’s driving me crazy, he hooks his thu against the denie that he is as turned on as I aainst the rough lace of my bra My sex is drenched And when I breathe in deep, I catch the scent of my own arousal
