Hers to Keep (Irresistibly Bound 3)

“Thank you, Mistress. You’ve done enough for me already.”

“I take it you found your new things, then?” Camilla said. “It’s all yours, by the way. You can take everything with you when you leave.”

“Seriously?” Lindsey asked. “Thank you! Not that I’m complaining, but you didn’t have to do all that.”

“It’s no trouble. And I did promise to spoil you. You’ll have the best of everything while you’re here. Besides, there’s something immensely satisfying about lavishing an appreciative woman with gifts.”

“I definitely appreciate it,” Lindsey said. “Thank you, Mistress.”

“You’re very welcome,” Camilla replied. “Now, we haven’t had a chance to properly discuss your answers to that questionnaire. Who knew you had such wicked desires hidden away in that innocent head of yours?”

Lindsey’s face began to burn. She wasn’t at all shy about her unusual appetites, but Camilla had a way of getting under her skin.

“I have a question for you,” Camilla said. “Of all the kinky things you like, what is it that you like the most?”

“Well,” Lindsey thought for a moment. “I like being spanked. It’s not that I like that it hurts. I just like the way it makes me feel.”

“And me bringing up how naughty you are makes you feel the same way, doesn’t it?” Camilla lowered her voice. “It hasn’t escaped my notice that every time I do, you turn a delicious shade of red.”

Lindsey’s face grew even hotter, making Camilla chuckle.

“What about you, Mistress?” Lindsey asked. “What do you like the most?”

“Personally, bondage is my tool of choice,” Camilla said. “Handcuffs, ropes, even suspension. There’s something so intoxicating about having a sweet, willing submissive all bound up for me. And based on your answers to the questionnaire, you would enjoy that too.”

“Yes, Mistress.” Just thinking about it gave Lindsey a rush.

“But blindfolds are a soft limit for you, correct?”

Lindsey nodded. She had quite a few hard limits, most of which were activities that most people would consider extreme, but blindfolds were her only limit that was negotiable. “I don’t know why I’m fine with bondage, but not blindfolds. I guess if someone is going to tie me up and flog me I want to see it coming.”

Camilla laughed. “That’s fair.”

“But it’s a soft limit for a reason. I do want to try it sometime. I’d just have to be really comfortable with someone to do it.”

“I understand. It requires a lot of trust. So, no blindfolds. Or anything else that you haven’t explicitly agreed to.”

Sex. Camilla had made it clear that she wasn’t going to cross that line without the go-ahead from Lindsey. But Lindsey was starting to wonder if she should just give in to her curiosity.

“That still leaves us with a lot of options,” Camilla said. “I have a very well stocked playroom.”

“Seriously?” Lindsey said. “You have a playroom in your house?”

“Darling, the manor has its own ballroom. The first thing I did when I inherited this place was to convert one of the rooms into a playroom.”

“Can I see it?”

“That depends,” Camilla said. “I don’t let anyone into my playroom who isn’t prepared to play.”

“I am,” Lindsey said. “I want to. Please, Mistress?”

Camilla’s hazel eyes searched Lindsey’s face.

“All right,” she said. “We’ll have dessert in the playroom. Would you like that?”

Lindsey smiled. “I would, Mistress.”

“Then it’s settled.” Camilla got up and offered her hand to Lindsey. “But first, dinner.”
