Hers to Keep (Irresistibly Bound 3)

“You gave away a building?”

“I sold it for a fraction of what it was worth, so I might as well have,” Camilla said. “Anyway, I’m letting you know in case you don’t want to be alone in the manor while I’m gone. Some people get lonely in this big, secluded house. I won’t be offended if you want to make other arrangements.”

“I don’t mind,” Lindsey said. “I think I’ll stay.”

“You can always go into the city for a day or two. I’ll even get you a hotel room if you want to stay the night. Or, you can invite a friend to come here for a few days.”

“That could be fun.” Lindsey waved her hands through the cloudy water in front of her, gathering a handful of petals. “Faith has been dying to see the place.”

“Oh?” Camila said. “You’ve been telling her all about the manor? About us?”

“Only a little.” Well, it was more than a little. Lindsey told Faith everything. Except for the fact that she and Camilla had slept together.

“It’s fine, I don’t mind if you talk to her about us. And she’s more than welcome to come visit.”

“Thanks. I’ll ask her.” Lindsey slipped a little deeper into the bath. “Mistress?”

“Yes?”

“You’ve been living in the manor by yourself for a while, haven’t you?”

“Ever since my parents passed 15 years ago,” Camilla replied. “I often have guests though. Friends, relatives, the oc

casional lover.”

“Do you ever get lonely out here in this big house?” Lindsey asked.

“No. I’ve always preferred solitude, ever since I was a child. I think that’s why I like this place so much. My sister used to think I was a freak because I spent every summer of my childhood hiding in the hedge maze reading books. Or I’d just go in there to get away from the craziness inside the manor. You’d think in a house this big, it would be easier to find some peace and quiet.”

Lindsey turned to look at Camilla. “You have a sister?”

“She’s ten years older than me,” Camilla said. “We don’t speak very often.”

“Why not?”

“We don’t exactly get along.” Camilla drew her hands down the front of Lindsey’s shoulders. “But my sister is the last person I want to think about when I have a beautiful naked woman in my bathtub.”

Camilla’s hands slithered down to Lindsey’s chest. Lindsey’s breath hitched. She couldn’t help but feel like Camilla was trying to distract her from their conversation. But Lindsey wasn’t complaining. She’d been turned on since the moment Camilla had commanded her to undress.

“Lie back and let your Mistress take care of you,” Camilla said.

Lindsey leaned back against Camilla, sinking into her skin. Camilla’s breasts pressed into her back, and the scent of the rose petals mingled with the steam from the bath, making her head spin. Camilla began massaging Lindsey’s breasts with her slick, soapy fingers. A flood of heat went through her.

Camilla ran her hands downward, all the way to the insides of Lindsey’s thighs. She pulled them apart gently and slipped a finger into Lindsey’s slit. Lindsey’s mouth fell open in a silent moan.

“Are you wet because we’re in the bath?” Camilla asked. “Or are you wet for me?”

“For you, Mistress,” Lindsey replied.

“Aren’t I lucky?” Camilla glided her finger up and down. “I want you to ask me for permission before you come, okay?”

“Yes, Mistress.”

Camilla dragged a finger up to Lindsey’s clit, circling it slowly. “I’m having some special items made for you.” Camilla’s other hand crept back up to Lindsey’s breasts. “For both of us. Once they arrive, I’m going to take you into the playroom again. Would you like that?”

“Yes, Mistress,” Lindsey whispered.

“I’m looking forward to it. I love toying with this lovely body of yours.”
