Leo (Vigilance 3)

“I would never share you with anyone. I promise.”

It felt so wicked, but I wanted it. “Okay.”

“You look so fucking good all trussed up for me.”

I looked him up and down, but his sweater and jeans didn’t reveal enough. “I wish you were naked.”

“Later. Right now, this is all about you. About making sure you remember that it’s always best to obey me.”

“I do. I swear I will. Just please.”

“Please what, sweetheart?”

I knew my cheeks were pink as I struggled to say the words. “Please don’t torture me.”

“I will only torment you in the best way.” He climbed onto the bed, knelt between my legs, and wrapped his hand around my cock. As he worked my length with slow strokes, I twisted from side to side, desperate for more. I longed to be able to arch up into him, but I couldn’t, not tied like I was.

“Look at me, Ezra.”

Hearing my name helped me ground myself. I opened my eyes and met his gaze, but I couldn’t read his expression. I knew that he wanted me, but I was also sure he was hiding something. What was it? Was he feeling the connection between us as strongly as I was? I felt like the ropes bound me to him.

“Breathe, baby. You’ve got a long way to go before I let you come. Relax and enjoy.”

“Please, Leo, I—”

He laid a finger against my lips. “Be quiet, or I’ll have to gag you.”

“Would you really?”

He lifted his brows and that was answer enough. “Stop fighting and just let go.”

“But if I… You said I can’t… that I can’t come.”

“Let me worry about stopping you. All you need to do is feel the ropes keeping you in place, letting me control you.”

I blew out a shaky breath. “I want you to, but I’m just…”

It’s okay to be scared, sweetheart. I’m here. Close your eyes now and just feel.”

He tightened his grip on my cock and used his other hand to play with my balls. It felt so good, and I wanted to reach for him, but I couldn’t. The pressure of the ropes against my wrists reminded me how powerless I was, but somehow, they also anchored me.

The tightness in my chest loosened. I let myself focus on all the sensations around me—the ropes touching me, Leo’s hand around my cock, the soft murmur of his voice as he encouraged me. My breaths grew deeper, and I felt myself sink into the mattress.

He stroked faster, and I worked my hips the little bit that I could. I pressed my feet into the mattress even though I couldn’t get much leverage, bound as I was.

I was so close. Maybe he only said he wouldn’t let me come to throw me off guard. Any minute I’d go over.

Suddenly, he stopped, leaving me hanging on the edge.

I looked up at him and saw his most evil smile.

“Don’t do this, Leo,” I whined.

“You can’t stop me.”

I struggled then, thinking maybe if I pulled hard enough, I could free my hands. His fingers wrapped around my arms, stilling me.

“Don’t hurt yourself. You know you need this.”

Somehow deep inside I did know that, but I wasn’t sure I could take it. “Please. Can’t you just believe I’ll listen to you?”

Leo shook his head. “I need your body to remember the torment so when you’re scared or angry and want to defy me, your body won’t let you.”

He teased me as I lay there, skimming his fingers along the edges of the ropes that formed the harness, then placing kisses on my skin before sucking my nipples. I struggled, trying to arch up to get more.

He ran the backs of his fingers over my throat, then released my nipple and pressed a kiss to my Adam’s apple.

“I know how to tie the rope around your neck, make a collar out of it, and extend it into a leash. It won’t choke you, but you’ll feel it there, and I can use it to lead you around. Would you like to try that another time?”

I stared at him. I shouldn’t like that. I shouldn’t want him to put me on a leash. Jesus Christ.

He reached for my cock, swiped his finger over my slit, and brought his finger to his mouth. I watched, wide-eyed, as he sucked his finger deep into his mouth. I wished it were my finger. I wished it were my cock. I wished he were inside me.

He smiled as he let his finger slide from his mouth. “I think you do want that. I think it turned you on. You’re a very dirty boy.”

I licked my lips. “I… I think I am.”

“I want to do so many filthy things to you.

“Please. Do them.”

Leo shifted, bending down between my legs. He licked at my hole, and it felt just as good and just as surprising as it had the first time.
