Oh God. “I don’t want to do this,” she hissed, glaring at him.
Chapter Sixteen
Dan tried to smother his laugh. She couldn’t get much wetter or more aroused. “Poor Kari. I can tell you’re turned off by the whole thing.” His finger circled her clit, and she wiggled like a worm on a hook. “You’re lying to me, sweetheart. Have we talked about honesty?”
Her eyes widened.
Lying down on top of her, he braced himself on one forearm. Her soft breasts cushioned his chest; her soft thighs cradled his hips.
Grasping her chin roughly, he frowned down at her. “How many times did you tell me no in the last five minutes? And now you’re lying. You’re racking up the punishments you have coming. I’d suggest you confine yourself to ‘yes, Sir’ before I decide to make some of them very, very public.”
Those big eyes. He could never describe the way they pulled at him, the satisfaction he got from seeing the nerves revving in them, the wariness, and the trust when she let him drive her to the heights. He took her mouth hard, pulling a response from her. When he squeezed her breast, he felt her nipple’s hard point of arousal. Her trembling increased.
There was nothing more gratifying than a sub’s sweet yielding.
Or a sub’s squirming when being punished. He pushed back onto his knees, kneeling where he could see her pussy, a dark triangle in the misty shadows. Pulling the toy, lube, and condom from his pocket, he opened his leathers and sheathed himself. With the lube, he prepared the plug. “You might find this a bit different, little sub, but I think you’ll like it…eventually.”
He was holding something the length of her finger, shaped like a rocket with a flat base. It glistened with lubricant, and now he ran his hand down her thighs to her bottom. He spread her cheeks apart. When his fingers touched her rectum, horrifying realization hit.
“No! Don’t.” She jerked at the restraints futilely.
A second later, something slid into her rectum, hard and cold, sending shivers through her at the sheer unfamiliarity of it.
“Take it out!” she whispered, moving her hips, trying to escape.
“No.”
She gasped as he plunged a finger into her vagina, moving it against the swollen, sensitive walls. He lowered himself in the grass. His hair brushed her inner thighs, and his hot breath skimmed over her folds.
“Master.” Her voice cracked. “Please.”
“Try the plug this once, Kari, and we’ll talk about it afterward.” He touched the thing again, making it move inside her, and she gritted her teeth at the raw, carnal feeling. His fingers moved and then it started to vibrate inside her, an almost soundless buzz that set unfamiliar nerves to firing. Her hips lifted off the ground as waves of increasing pleasure ran through her from the unfamiliar direction.
And then his fingers pulled back her folds, opening her farther, exposing her engorged clit. He licked up and over the nub, and she bucked in his grip at the feeling of his hot, wet tongue. She almost climaxed right then.
He pulled back. “Not yet.” Waited as her body ached for him.
Finally he lowered his head again. The thing in her vibrated away as his tongue slid and flicked over her clit.
She panted, shot back into hard arousal.
When he slid a finger up inside her, she moaned at the exquisite sensation. He added another finger, moving slowly in and out, circling the walls of her vagina. The thickness of his fingers pressed the walls against the anal plug, sending vibrations coursing through all of her, until every nerve between her thighs throbbed intensely.
Her thighs, her stomach, her whole body tightened as he played with her. She sucked in a sobbing breath. She was close, so close—
His tongue moved away from her clit, his fingers stopped. “No, you don’t have permission to come.”
She moaned. “Please, Master.”
He didn’t answer. When her breathing slowed, he started again, brought her up and up…and stopped.
Her head rolled back and forth, her hips raised to him. She whined as everything inside her throbbed.
After a minute, he restarted and ruthlessly teased her until her clit was on the excruciating edge of climax and her need was so great that the world narrowed to each touch of his mouth, his fingers.
He lifted his head and removed his fingers from inside her.
“Oh, no, please…” Her legs shook as she sobbed for release, her voice rising uncontrollably. “Please, Master. Oh, please, please, please.”
Chuckling, he pushed himself up and, a second later, plunged his cock deep inside her, impaling her so hard that she screamed at the exquisite feeling. Her tissues were so swollen, so sensitive, that each slide of his shaft increased the storm of sensation assailing her. His thick cock pressed against the vibrating thing in her bottom, and her body shuddered.
The feelings grew overwhelming, and she stiffened, every muscle tightening as she hung on the precipice. Even her breathing stopped.
“Come now, Kari. Come,” he ordered in a deep voice. His hard fingers pinched her jutting clit, and her world went white. She screamed, screamed again as he thrust in and out of her, her mind in splinters and her vagina convulsing around him.
An eternity later, she blinked up at him, her body still giving little shudders. His corded arms planted beside her shoulders, and his eyes dark with passion, he waited, unmoving.
Her legs were still in the air, her arms over her head. “Let me free,” she demanded, her voice husky.
His lips curved in a smile. “Little sub, you’re going to regret being so bossy,” he murmured. Ignoring her demand, he pinned her hips with one hard hand so he could pound into her even deeper and harder. The steady rhythm took her past her climax and started building another. As arousal flared in her, she tried to lift her hips to meet his, but his hand held her just where he wanted her. His thumb slid in circles over her clit.
She whimpered at the building need, at the sensations shooting through her.
He was merciless, his cock massive. Her hips jerked uncontrollably within his grip; her trembling legs made the chains chime. Each plunge of his shaft, each sweep of his thumb over her sensitive clit sent her further out of control.
“Sir?” Unable to think, only to feel. “I can’t—”
“Come again, Kari. Come now.” His thumb pressed down as he thrust deeply into her, and she exploded, feeling her blood boiling from her pelvis to her fingertips. Short screams escaped her as she shook like a breaking doll in his grip.
His fingers tightened, and his cock drove deep, reaching far up inside her. He groaned as his release jerked inside her, making her buck and shiver.
She roused a minute later. He pulled out, leaving her hollow, and then removed the thing inside her. When he stood and moved away, she shot awake. “Master!”
“Easy, sweetheart, I’m right here.” He returned from across the clearing. His hands were gentle as he released her restraints, lowered her legs. She groaned as her joints and muscles protested.
Lying down beside her on the soft grass, he pulled her into his arms, the embrace so comforting, so welcome, that her breath shuddered. She’d dropped every barrier she had under his hands, his body. He’d seen her at her most vulnerable, and when he held her like this, she felt closer to him than she had to anyone before.
He tucked her head into the hollow of his shoulder. One arm kept her close while his hand stroked her hair, her arm, her side, and the tenderness of his touch, the care he took with her, made her heart swell.
After a minute, she remembered where they were. She was naked; her legs had been in the air. Everyone in the whole county had probably heard her screaming her release. Oh, God.
“Now what was that thought?” he asked. In the wavering light from the fountain, she could see his dark eyes crinkling in a smile.
“I was…loud.”
He laughed, deep and satisfied. “You certainly were. You know, you sound different when you get off.” He kissed the top of her head.
“How so?”
“You normally have a soft voice. Careful and polite.” His finger circled her breast, teased the nipple until it budded. “But when you climax, your voice is raw. Carnal. Nothing held back.” His pleasure was obvious.
She groaned and hid her face against his chest. She could never face any of those people again.
He rubbed his chin on the top of her head and chuckled.
As she breathed in, his scent surrounded her, mixed with the fragrance of oil on her body and their lovemaking. Sighing, she hitched an arm over his chest and pulled him closer. “I wish we could just lie here and never leave,” she murmured.
She knew the words were a mistake the minute they left her mouth.
His muscles stiffened, and his arm around her loosened. She closed her eyes as grief hollowed her chest. Withdrawing again? How could he keep doing this to her?
“Kari.” He sat up, pulling her with him. His hand cupped her chin. Even in the dim light, she could see his face had that…that damned cold look again. “Don’t get attached to me. It can’t—”
The lovemaking and then his tender attention had lowered the shield she’d put over her heart, and now his coldness stabbed into her chest. The anger she’d bottled up surged out of control. She slapped his hand away from her face. “Can’t, don’t, mustn’t.”
