“She bites,” the attendant said bluntly. “I have many girls that do not. This one is too feisty.”
“I like my women with a little bit of fire in them.” The buyer cupped her cheek with one large palm and caressed her lips with his thumb. The touch sent another chill through Leita, a tingle that started at her lips and traveled down to her erect nipples and exposed clit. What was it about this man that set her nerves on fire?
“I would not do that if I were you.” The attendant looked worriedly at the trusting way the buyer was stroking Leita’s lips with his thumb. “This one has bitten no less than seventeen people since she got here. We are beginning to be sorry that she was taken in the first place.”
The buyer slipped his thumb between Leita’s lips and she felt another chill go through her as she sucked it into her mouth, tasting the salt of his skin. What was it about this man? Who was he and why did he seem so familiar? Surely it couldn’t be…
“She doesn’t appear to be biting now. Are you, baby girl?” He looked down at her, a twinkle in the deep blue eyes. Leita’s own eyes widened and she nearly bit him from sheer surprise. Pierce! It really was him—he had come for her!
The next minute she had another thought. Why had he come? Was it because he really wanted to rescue her? Or did he plan some form of revenge for the way she had kicked him out of her life pod? Oh, dear. Leita wished she knew his intentions but his thumb in her mouth kept her from asking anything out loud. Pierce’s deep eyes caught hers and held her spellbound, unable to look away.
“I cannot believe how you have tamed her!” the attendant gushed. “A man so great as yourself at mastering women should have two or even three slaves to keep him warm at night.” Clearly he was going to the other extreme, trying to get Pierce to agree to buying more than one slave now that one sale looked final.
“One is enough for me,” Pierce said softly, still looking at Leita and not the attendant. “As long as she’s the one. But maybe I should inspect her to make sure she’s really what I want.”
The attendant threw up his hands. “By all means, do as you like with her. But I will not accept any of the blame if she decides to be feisty again and bites off whatever appendage you put in her mouth.”
“I don’t think we have to worry about that,” Pierce growled, withdrawing his thumb at last. “She knows she’ll get a punishment if she tries anything. Don’t you, baby girl?”
Leita felt as if someone had poured a bucketful of warm water down her spine. A rush of heat encompassed her and she had to lick her lips twice before she could answer. “Yes…yes, Master,” she whispered at last, still looking up into his eyes.
“Good girl,” Pierce rumbled, stroking her cheek. He turned to the attendant. “I’m allowed to inspect her any way I want?”
The attendant shrugged. “Surely. Do as you wish.”
Pierce’s eyes narrowed. “Has anyone else touched her?”
“She has bitten every one who has tried.” The attendant looked irritated. “Had I known she could be made to be compliant, I could have charged a great deal more for her. It is most vexatious.”
“She’s worth more than all the others here put together.” Pierce’s large, warm hand wandered down to cup one of Leita’s breasts. He tweaked her erect nipple gently, making her gasp and squirm. “You just have to know how to handle her,” he murmured.
“Do her nipples meet with your approval?” The attendant looked bored. No doubt he wished to be helping another customer who might buy a pricier item.
“I don’t know—let me see.” Pierce cupped both her breasts now in his warm, calloused hands and Leita bit back a moan as he began to torture her nipples, twisting them gently between his fingers. “Beautiful,” he murmured as Leita writhed in her bonds, unable to get away from his attention. “So responsive.” He leaned down and sucked one of her hard pink buds between his lips and this time Leita couldn’t help the little moan that came out of her mouth. It was humiliating to be touched this way, tasted as Pierce was tasting her now, in a room full of people. And yet, she couldn’t deny the effect his mouth was having on her body. Her nipples, which had been hard for hours, were more sensitive than they had ever been. Even the lightest touch sent flames of sensation from her sensitive buds straight to the slippery vee of her sex. And Pierce wasn’t touching her lightly—he was sucking hard on her tender tips, making Leita wonder if she could come just from having her nipples sucked and licked.
