“Neckties?”
“Best I can do on short notice.” Eyes blazing, he stroked the silk over her bare skin, a whispery sensation that contrasted deliciously with his rough growl. “Since my lady has a hard time holding still…” He cocked an eyebrow and flashed a wicked grin.
For a moment, she stared, baffled, and then his meaning landed like a heat bomb between her legs. She’d never done this before, but the thought of lying wide open, completely at his mercy, shot a throb of searing heat through her core.
She nodded her consent.
The mattress dipped as he climbed aboard and, as skillfully as any seasoned sailor, knotted them together, and fastened her spread-eagled to the bedposts.
“That’s better, my squirmy love. No more trying to escape before I’ve given you all the pleasure you can take.” Eyes lust-dark, swollen cock crowned with a crystalline tear, he lowered his head to her belly and circled her navel with the tip of his tongue. “What will you tell me if you want me to stop?”
“Umm…” She’d never in her life been asked for a safe word. “How about ‘Nebraska’?”
His laughter tickled her skin, making her squirm—but not far. She lay helpless before his merciless mouth and hands and glorious cock. Pleasure flowed through her, knowing she was Kieran’s to play with until they were both satisfied.
His hot, wet mouth made a complete tour of her body, teasing her just to the edge before he rose again to claim another drugging kiss. While his lips and tongue worked magic on her nipples, she heard a drawer open, then the crackle of a foil packet. Just when she thought she’d ignite from anticipation, he lowered his hips to hers. The plump, wide head of his cock probed her tingling folds, and she nearly levitated off the bed, eyes shut tight against the delirious intensity.
“Addy, love, look at me.”
She obeyed, sinking into his fiery gaze.
“I need to feel you coming around my cock. Are you ready for me?”
Biting her lip hard, she nodded and canted her hips, chasing the fullness she craved.
That first slow glide melted her bones. The world beyond Kieran’s bed faded and blurred until all she knew was his touch, his breath, his weight driving her into the mattress. Overpowering pleasure unfurled, licking her skin like flame with each thrust until her climax detonated in brilliant waves of joy. With a ragged roar, Kieran slammed into her once, twice, then froze as his own release seized him.
He collapsed atop her, panting and slick with sweat, and Addy was filled with so much tenderness, her eyes stung with happy tears.
But Kieran was a big man, and soon her lungs protested his weight.
“Nebraska,” she whispered.
He immediately rolled off her, taking his half-erect cock with him. She sighed at the loss.
“Did I hurt you?” He ran his hand over her skin, searching for injuries.
“Not at all. But you’re kind of heavy.” She tugged at her silken restraints. “And I’d like my hands back, please.”
“Of course, love.” He quickly untied the knots and gently massaged her wrists.
Grabbing a silk necktie, she looped it around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. “I like this game. My turn next time?”
His smile glowed with satisfaction. “There’ll be a next time, then?”
“Several, if I have my way.”
“Oh, Addy.” He wrapped his arms around her and rolled onto his back, draping her limp, sated body over him like a blanket. His voice rumbled against her cheek. “Can an accomplished beauty like you ever learn to love a wreck of a man like me?”
“Hey.” She rose on her elbow and fixed him with a stern glare. “You are not broken.”
His lips quirked in a wry grin. “I notice you didn’t answer the question.”
Damn. He wasn’t going to let her evade this time.
She traced spirals through his russet chest hair. “I told you before, I’m not good at making quick decisions. We’ve only known each other a few days, and—”
His expression flattened. “I get it. I’m asking for too much.”
