Awareness of hi, throbbed with a combination of fear and desire He was so off-liate him, not pleasure him And yet all I wanted to do was test those limits To push them To push him

I wanted to play To explore But that would require hi to do the saive him that much control Not now Not over th while I, for lack of a better phrase, had my ith him? Would he let me? Would he wantfroht not, but one never knew Men eird Especially men made of tempered steel and fire and perpetual darkness Or men with penises Either way

I let the ketchups practice cunnilingus virtually unsupervised as I devised a plan He was si, too powerful for me to overtake him To tie him up I doubted even sex would distract him that much No, I needed to incorporate the restraints Men loved that shit Also, I just wanted to see him tied up

I sat beside him and watched him work He stiffened, paused his efforts to twist the round thing onto the other round thing

"Can I ask you so?"

He slowly resule"

I snorted "Please You wouldn’t have told me half of what I learned on the Web, and you know it"

He didn’t argue "What did you want to ask?"

"First, you have to promise you’ll do it"

He ducked under the cabinet doorfra on a knee We were mere inches from each other "I don’t trust you"

His adure out why he wouldn’t trust me, of all people He was the powerful one, after all "No offense, but what on earth could I ask of you that would be a great hardship?"

His gaze rested on ain "You could ask for the world, and then where would civilization be when I conquered it and laid it at your feet?"

I stilled He was dead serious, and I realized I’d greatly underesti, yes, but he was more than that So very much more I breathed in his emotion and realized he’d done it He’d conquered a civilization Possibly more than one His confidence was not derived froant Not in the least He was… experienced

That knowledge sent another shudder through me, but not of revulsion, as it should have As it would have any norh ht then and there

I stared at hiuarantee "If I promise not to ask for the world, will you do as I ask then?"

It took hireed with a curt nod of his head Apparently he took his promises very seriously I liked that

Down to the wire My nerves sprang to life, and I als drove ain, I really wanted to see him tied up
