Embracing Evie back, Natalya crossed the threshold to the bedroom.
Natalya entered the room with a confidence that was pure seduction. Evie could feel the change in her. How each step signaled command and control, how it grew to take over her entire being, as she pushed Evie through the door and turned her, so Natalya could press her against the wall.
Despite Natalya being naked, Evie felt more exposed than her. More out of bounds and less in control. It was like Natalya had sucked the command out of the room, taking it all into herself. It made her even more glorious than before.
Natalya kissed her deeply, sighing and breathing heavily. Evie’s breath, in turn, was shallow and uneven. She didn’t want this to end. She wanted Natalya to do whatever she wanted.
As though reading her mind, Natalya pulled her lips from Evie’s and started trailing hard, demanding kisses along her jaw and throat. Natalya sucked at her skin hard enough it would leave hickeys.
“The things I could do to you,” Natalya murmured between kisses. “The pleasures I could create.”
“Do it all.” Evie’s breathing was already ragged. “I want it all. I want you to do all of it. Everything.”
The words produced a low laugh from Natalya. She leaned back and smiled, the expression full of dark satisfaction. It promised pleasures untold. Pleasures unending.
“That is a risky ask. If I’m free to do what I want, I may not want to stop.”
“I don’t want you to stop.”
“Maybe not now.” She tugged at Evie by bunching up her shirt. “The night isn’t over. And unlike you, I don’t get tired.”
Seeing her teasing, commanding smile, Evie breathed a little heavier. Anxious anticipation rose in her at the thought of what Natalya was suggesting.
“Is this ‘Mistress Natalya’ talking again?” Evie asked with a grin. It vanished when Natalya’s grip on her shirt tightened.
“Would you like it to be?”
Evie wanted nothing more. The energy had been completely different in the studio than their first time. Natalya had been commanding and confident in both, but the second time was transcendent. Letting her have control hadn’t felt like Evie was giving away part of herself. It was like a trust fall, where she wasn’t only confident butknewNatalya would catch her.
“Yes. Please. I would like that.”
Natalya grabbed her chin, holding her in place.
“‘Please,Mistress,’” she instructed.
Evie’s heart set off at a gallop. How could the prospect of saying just a single word affect her so much? There was a game to this that was intoxicating. Speaking the title was a willing surrender of power. Consenting submission to the will of another. To Natalya. It would let her do whatever she wanted.
“Please, Mistress.” Evie tried to keep her voice firm and confident, like Natalya’s. She failed miserably.
Natalya smiled, and it was lethally beautiful. The kind of smile that promised sweet destruction. She tugged at Evie’s shirt.
“Off.”
Evie quickly stripped, and her clothes were haphazardly thrown on the floor. When she stood naked in front of Natalya, Evie was panting.
“Eager, aren’t you?” She ran a cursedly light fingertip down Evie’s waist, ending at her hip, then trailed it up again. “After what happened last time, I’m surprised. If you thought that was excessive, you won’t like what’s coming.”
“It wasn’t excessive.”
“It wasn’t?” Natalya smiled like Evie had walked into a trap. “That makes me very happy to hear.”
She pushed Evie down on the bed, her eyes glowing bright violet.
“I’m going to have fun playing with you.” Natalya straddled Evie’s hips, grabbing her wrists and pinning them above her head. “When I’m done, you won’t even be able to walk.”
The words were a delightful threat. Feeling and seeing Natalya on top of her was already making her breath tremble. Natalya grinned, her eyes glittering with faint violet light.
“I’m going to make you come apart. It’ll be beautiful to see, darling. It’ll be stunning. You have no idea what awaits you.”
