Bind Me (Pact of Seduction 1)

Reed nodded, finding her safe word sweet and appropriate. “Very well.” He pressed his palm against her clit. She moaned. “My rules are not hard to follow. Whenever you please me, I will pleasure you in return. If you don't, I will force you to earn your reward.” He circled his palm to roll her clit beneath his hand, and her eyes fluttered closed. “Ah, beautiful...” He withdrew. “You have not earned that much pleasure yet."

He left her and strode toward the cart. There he removed the linen to reveal ropes, his flogger, and a crop. He took the smaller of the two crimson ropes, which he'd picked because he knew the color would be a stunning contrast against the black leather corset, her dark hair, and her pale skin.

Marley glanced at the rope before her molten eyes returned to his.

"Hold your hands out in front of you,” Reed said.

She responded instantly.

He took one end of the rope and tied a French bowline knot. Once he had the loop completed, he slipped the rope over her wrists, then tightened the knot. He stepped in behind her, trailed his hand over her ass, and gave it a slap before he made another knot. “Bring your right arm behind your back.” She complied, and he put the rope over her other wrist. With only a small amount of rope remaining, he pulled Marley's wrists together. There he tied a square knot, stabilizing the hold.

He moved in front of her to find desire flashing in her eyes. Not a surprise. At the restaurant, she'd squirmed in her seat when he discussed the possibility of being bound, and her reaction told him she'd become aroused by the restraint. To be sure she felt safe, even if her eyes said as much, he voiced the question. “Being bound is a wonderful feeling, isn't it?"

"Yes, Sir, very much."

"I'm pleased to hear it, because you look stunning presented this way to me.” He ran his fingers over the swells of her breasts. “It accentuates you here.” He pulled back her shoulder, then grasped her hip. “You look even more beautiful when you arch your back a little. I want you to stay in this position at all times. Do not disappoint me by ruining my view."

"I won't, Sir."

Reed stepped back, content with what he saw. No flaws were present on her skin—only smooth white flesh beneath the dark leather, all inviting him to move forward with the scene.

He went over to the tray and grabbed his black leather cowhide flogger. This flogger was an appropriate choice for her—a light hit would cause some pain, but the velvety leather would provide only a minor sting.

Reed returned to stand in front of her. Marley's gaze focused on the flogger. “Ah, I see excitement raging through those beautiful eyes of yours.” He positioned himself behind her, spun the flogger in his hands, and her breath hitched. Without another word, he smacked the flogger against her thigh to test her.

She gasped.

"On a scale of one to ten, tell me the pain level you experienced."

"Four, Sir."

"Only a four. I'll have to change that, won't I?” Her sweet ass clenched. With his empty hand, he smacked her on the ass with a flat palm. The loud hit echoed in the empty room, and she screeched. “Never anticipate what I will do to you. You'll never get what you expected, and I will punish you for such anticipation."

"Sorry, Sir."

"And so you should be.” He waited for her to settle—for her muscles to loosen before he raised the flogger and hit her ass. “What's your pain level?"

"Three, Sir."

He smacked her again.

"Five, Sir."

He hit harder.

"Seven, Sir."

And harder.

"Ten, Sir,” she shouted.

Reed studied her reactions to each hit. He witnessed the subtle way her muscles relaxed at the halfway mark. Her responses told him she liked a little pain, would find pleasure from the pain, but anything harder would be too much for her.

"You've held your position and answered my questions honestly.” He moved in front of her and touched her pussy, swirled his finger in her juices before he inserted one finger, then pushed two through her damp lips. “Always stay honest, not only with me but yourself, and we'll do fine here.” He slid his fingers deeper within her, settled them against her G-spot, and then he finger fucked her senseless.

Marley screamed. Her pussy clenched against his fingers, forcing him to grab on to her hip to keep up

the rhythm he'd set. Her moans sent shivers down his spine and pooled heat into his thick erection.
