I loved his bedroom antics and, given the tension still exuding from him, I had no delusions he intended to teach me a thing or two about defying him when it put me in the line of fire.
Sure enough, he snatched the silk tie I’d heaped on the floor with his shirt and then placed it over my eyes like a blindfold, securing the ends.
I bit back a grin of anticipation. Clamped my
teeth down on my lower lip to keep from blurting out how insanely turned on I already was.
This was his game, and I let him play it.
Until I heard the ice cubes plopping into a glass.
“Hey,” I protested. “You restrained me and then went for a cocktail?”
“It’s well deserved,” came his confident tone. “The punishment and the cocktail.”
“The only point you’re making is that you can resist me.” I added a little pout, for good measure.
With a low, sexy chuckle, Dane said, “Trust me, baby. Resisting you is impossible. That doesn’t mean, however, that I can’t make you burn a bit brighter for me.”
I heard him circle the bed, then felt the mattress dip at my hip. His heat enveloped me as he leaned in close and brushed his lips over mine, giving me a taste of glorious him and his expensive scotch.
“You are such a tease,” I playfully complained.
“You can’t imagine how damn gorgeous you look, naked and tied to my bed.”
“I thought it was our bed.”
“I’m being territorial at the moment.”
“You’re territorial every moment.”
“Do you intend to make me drag out the suspense?”
I sighed. I desperately craved him, wanted him more than I wanted my next breath. “For God’s sake, touch me.”
He laughed softly again. The rich, sensual sound seeped through my veins, turning my blood molten.
“For the record,” he told me, “it’s difficult to just observe. Trust me when I say, you’re pushing all of my buttons.”
“Yet another reason for you to get on with this.”
“Hmm. So eager. But I am enjoying the show. The way you’re twisting and twining that luscious body of yours.” His tone dropped a notch. “And those tempting breasts…”
I literally felt his heated gaze on me and the moisture pooled between my legs. “Dane, you’re not playing fair.” I couldn’t see him, after all. Couldn’t watch him watch me. Couldn’t touch him. “You’re making me crazy,” I repeated.
“Then I’m better at teaching you a lesson than I thought.”
“I get it. You went nuts over something happening to me. Now I’m going nuts over nothing happening to me!”
“Nothing?”
I could envision his quirked brow. With a moan, I said, “Okay, plenty of things are happening to me right now. Most notably, my insides are blazing and my pussy is throbbing with a very demanding need for you.”
“Know that I want you just as much. In the meantime…” He seemed to settle more comfortably alongside me, without really touching me. Though I sensed his presence, smelled him. Wanted him more and more with every second that ticked by.
“Dane.”
“Shh.” His warm breath blew over my skin.
