“Yes,” I breathed.
He didn’t hesitate. He lifted my hands above my head in a flash. “Grip the chains.”
The words were roughly ordered, sending a pleasant shiver down my spine. Instantly obeying him, my fingers curled around the heavy bag’s thick chains. Annoyance flickered that my body seemed so eager to please, but that annoyance quickly melted into shock as Cope usedmy tank top to tie my hands above my head and fasten them to the chains.
“Cope,” I gritted out.
He just grinned at me, the kind of sharkish smile that should’ve had unease sliding through me. There was none of that. Heat flared between my legs at the promise of that smile, and wetness quickly followed.
“I asked if you wantedmeto touchyou, not the other way around.” Cope stepped back, his thumb grazing his lower lip as he took me in. “So fucking beautiful. Back arched, pretty little nipples on display.”
My breaths came quicker. Something about him watching me and being at his mercy had more wetness gathering at the apex of my thighs. “Cope.”
Those dark-blue eyes twinkled with mischief. “Is there something you need, Sutton?”
My eyes narrowed. “Stop playing games.”
One corner of his mouth kicked up. “You going to be in this with me?”
My mouth dropped open. “This is sexual blackmail.”
Cope chuckled, the sound low and throaty. “Love that little O your mouth makes when you’re shocked. Makes me think about it taking my cock.”
Holy hell.
Now that was all I could think about. Me on my knees as I took Cope.
“You like the idea of that.”
It wasn’t a question. My gaze snapped back to Cope’s face. “Untie my hands, and maybe you’ll find out.”
“My warrior likes to play.” He grinned. “Not today. I have other plans for you.”
Cope moved toward me, prowling like a predator stalking its prey. “Plans to make you beg. And if you’re good, maybe I’ll reward you. Make you come so hard you see stars.”
My breaths came in quick pants now, my hands gripping the chains so hard I knew they would leave indentations behind.
Cope’s hands lifted. One palmed my breast while he circled my nipple with the thumb of the other. “Look at you responding to my touch, your breasts reaching out for more. Your body’s with me. But I’m greedy. I want all of you. Your mind, heart,andyour fucking soul.”
I gripped the chains even harder, making them rattle. “Cope.”
“Are you ready for that?” he rasped.
I wasn’t. Not yet. The idea terrified me. Because the last time I’d truly let someone in, my whole world was decimated.
Cope’s thumb circled closer to the peak, making the bud tighten to an almost painful state. “Not there yet. But you will be.” Cope lowered his head and took the bud into his mouth, sucking deeply.
I let out a nonsensical sound as my back arched. It was both too much and not enough. But the fact that I was pressing myself harder against Cope’s face told me I only wanted more.
Cope’s hand moved between my thighs, cupping me through my light sweatpants. I pushed against him, seeking friction and more contact. His hand was gone in a flash, and his mouth left my breast. He tsked. “You’re not in control. Not today.”
I made a sound that resembled a growl.
Cope only grinned at me. “I love it when you beg.”
“You won’t love it when I return the favor.”
Cope chuckled. “Probably not. But it’ll be worth it.”
