Or did he? Fleetingly, he wondered if he ht cheat a littlejust to see what she’d demand of him The look in her eyes was the way a lioness centered herself before chasing down that helpless buck He did and didn’t want to do it her way Soo to her, bury himself in wet heat, feel the desperate clutch of her hands as he drove her to climax Because after he exploded inside her, for a short time he could drift in the fantasy of a reality he’d had for too short a tiain, because his heart wouldn’t survive its loss twice

Stop it Control wasn’t only important in the use of the whip It asas you had it, it implied you had choice Startled, he realized he’d echoed her words by the billabong Control as important, above all

He uncoiled the ith one defta touch of pain, my lady?”

“That’s beside the point” She curled her lip, showing him a flash of her canines, which seeet to take everything I want”

He could curl the whip around her body for hours, twirl her in a dance, touch the end of it to any pink, fragile part, tease a nipple or the hint of her pretty pussy beneath the gauzy fabric Or cut a brand into her flank as intricate as he ht

As she posed there, beautiful, statuesque, so far beyond his reach, her blue eyes never left his face Then she destroyed hi her arms above her head so her breasts rose, the skin stretched over her rib cage,it more defined, vulnerable

She stayed that way, as if her hands were bound fro, and his blood fired

The whip sang out, the pop striking right where he intended A spot high on her perfect right breast, the first place he’d put his lips to soothe the skin He put enough recoil into the strike that the effect was a bee sting, raising a blush on the skin No cut, but it definitely hurt Proving that he could do it without pain, and had made the conscious choice not to do so

Sohness omen, the need to hurt them a little, came from the fact that none of those women was the one he missed so much But there was a different component to this Bloody oath, she didn’t even flinch But he sensed soht the whip back to hiive it a na fro heat

Holding the whip in a clenched fist, he saw her gaze travel to where his cock was straining against his trousers, then back over every tense muscle in his body As her attention went up his bare chest, it re, the way she’d seemed to savor every inch of him

“There’s so up into them “I want to keep this moment quite real between us You said you’d letI want”

“There’s not much to take, love” And he was afraid what little there was, he ive her He’d immersed himself in women before to keep the darkness at bay, but despite the fact that this woer than him, it was as if she understood the deep intricacies of the world, how they were heartbreaking beyond bearing She wasn’t soothing hi hi from his storm

Her hand slid over his on the whip, started to uncoil it again When he reached for her with his free hand, she caught his wrist, guided it behind hirip Before he could object or try to overpower her, she’d lifted on her toes and brought her ainst his chest The bra was so thin he could feel the pressure of her hardened nipples
