He shifts back suddenly, rising to his feet."Stand up."
Wetness pools between my legs as I obey.He catches my chin, bringing his mouth a breath away from mine.
"You, Alex, are the epitome of an angelic devil.But you've burned yourself by challenging me, sweetheart."
Taking my hand, he leads me to the four-poster bed."Don't move," he commands, pushing aside cushions to reveal a long red lace ribbon attached to the headboard.His smirk turns wicked as he faces me.
"Why is that there?"
Goosebumps erupt as his lips brush my ear."That's where I'm going to tie you up and fuck your brains out."
"Oh," I whisper, heat flooding my body.
"I'm going to explore every inch of you here in the open air."
His words are pure aphrodisiac.His fingers trail over my collarbone, and I'm already panting.He unbuttons my blouse slowly, revealing my see-through pink bra.
"So fucking beautiful."
I cry out when he pinches my erect nipple.He tosses my shirt aside, then grabs the hem of my skirt."Does this have a zipper?"
"No," I gasp."You can—"
Cool air hits my skin as he yanks the skirt down.I yelp when his palm connects with my bare ass as I step out of it.
"Damn, no panties?"He growls, pulling my back against his chest."You're the only woman who drives me wild with need."His breath hot in my ear, he asks, "Tell me.Do you want me to fuck you?"
I nod frantically.
"Use words, Alex."
"Yes.I want you to take me hard."I turn to find his eyes dark with passion, his smirk promising delicious torment.
"Lie back on the bed and stretch your arms above your head."
I obey, watching him through heavy-lidded eyes.He stalks toward me like a panther sizing up its prey, never breaking eye contact as he climbs onto the mattress.The red lace slides sensually along my arms before circling my wrists.His muscles flex as he secures the knot, but when he pulls it tight, I swallow hard.
He immediately stops, studying my face."Are you okay?"
The genuine concern in that simple question dissolves any lingering anxiety.I nod.He bends to scatter butterfly kisses across my face before claiming my mouth in a deep kiss that sets every nerve ending on fire.I try to reach for him, but my hands stay secured.
Cole grins."This is your sweet punishment, Alex."
Fresh waves of desire pound through me."But I want to touch you," I complain.
He slides his hand between my thighs, fingers gliding through my wetness.Then he stands, leaving me aching."Fuck."I pull against the restraint, but it holds firm.
Licking my juices from his fingers, he gives me that wicked grin."You're at my mercy, sweetheart.Get ready, because soon all of Boston will know you're mine."
His zipper lowers, and when his cock springs free, I swear my moan echoes across the city.

COLE
I can't take my eyes off Alex, her beauty taking my breath away as she lies on the red silk sheets.The trust in her green eyes as she willingly lets me bind her wrists makes my heart race.This isn't just about physical pleasure - it's about showing her how special she is, how much she means to me.
"Open your legs wider."
