She tilted her head, trying to gauge her level of discomfort. Although her heart was racing as the same feeling of helplessness she’d experienced being locked in the dark cell took hold, Brie was still aware of her surroundings.
“A cautious yellow, Faelan,” she answered truthfully.
“Would you like to continue?”
“Absolutely.”
Faelan gently lowered her head to the floor, whispering, “You are in control.”
Brie lay there for a moment, trying not to panic. She was afraid the dark melody would return. Instead, she became distracted by the hundreds of tickling points as Faelan grazed the feather over her breasts. He used the tip to tease her nipples, tickling them so much that she bit her bottom lip to keep from laughing.
“Now that I have your attention, I want you to concentrate on your pleasure.”
He leisurely glided the feather over her stomach before making his way down her thighs and then all the way to her feet. The delicate touch drove her wild and she squirmed playfully as he tickled her toes.
Faelan abruptly stopped his artful torment, waiting a moment. Brie held her breath, wondering where he would touch her next.
Finally, he stroked the side of her face with the feather before grazing it over her lips, causing a delicious tingling.
That’s when his warm lips pressed against hers. He gave her a tender kiss—not the kiss of a lover, but one of a cherished friend—and it filled her heart with immense joy.
“Can you handle one more challenge, blossom?”
“Yes,” she answered enthusiastically.
“Do you remember my guessing game?
“Of course,” Brie replied, remembering the day he’d won her at the auction and took her home to introduce her to his stimulating game.
“I only have one item today.”
This game required a higher level of trust on her part. But, considering how careful he had been at planning out her scene today, Brie felt confident about playing the game.
“Do I have your consent?”
Brie nodded, but also answered verbally, “You do, Faelan.”
“Perfect.”
Brie held her breath, remembering their encounter during Kinky Eve when he had convinced her he was using a sharp knife on her skin when reality it had only been a feather.
“I want you to guess what this is,” he commanded gently.
Goosebumps rose on her skin when she felt a cold, stiff pressure on her stomach. Her first guess was a piece of ice, but it seemed too thin. As Faelan dragged it across her skin, she thought her body heat might be changing its consistency. Then the familiar scent hit her nose, mixing nicely with the lavender she’d been smelling.
“Chocolate!” she exclaimed, smiling.
Chocolate held a special meaning for them. On the night of the auction, Faelan had introduced her to his chocolate “dance.” It was a memory she still held dear.
“You are correct,” Faelan answered. He then licked the trail of chocolate he’d made across her stomach.
Brie shivered in pleasure.
Faelan lifted the blindfold and grinned down at her. “Well done, blossom.”
Brie could not express in words the feeling bursting inside her.
The song had not returned, despite the blindfold!
