“Good girl,” he murmured, enjoying the way her lips tipped into a smile.Pressing a kiss to her lips, he gathered his strength and made himself get up so he could undo her restraints.Iris was half-aware when he lifted her up from the table, nuzzling against his neck as he carried her through the other room to the bathroom.
A bath would do them both good.
Cuddled against him in the warm water, she slowly roused, coming back to herself.It probably helped that he was washing her with a washcloth.She winced when he got to her pussy.He was gentle, knowing he’d been rough on that particular area—and as a sadist, enjoyed knowing she’d be feeling it for a few days.
“Too much?”he asked wickedly, whispering in her ear as he moved the cloth in a slow, circular motion over her tender flesh.
“I don’t know,” she answered after a moment, still shuddering.With one arm wrapped around her ribs, he felt her unsteady breathing and the increase in her pulse.“I think I might die if you try to make me cum again, though.”
Chuckling, he gave her pussy one last slow wipe, then moved to wash over her hip and upper thigh.The tension slowly releasing from her frame confirmed it had been the right choice.She was nearing her limits, and Law had no desire to push these particular ones.
Especially after such a successful scene.
“So, if you held onto that wand thing and fucked me, would your dick be electrified?”
Choking on his laughter, he buried his face in her hair as he laughed harder than he could ever remember laughing.It only took a moment before Iris giggled, which made him laugh even harder.His sides and cheeks actually hurt because he couldn’t stop grinning.
The things she did to him.
“No,” he finally said when his laugh slowly died down, though he had to laugh again when she made a noise of disappointment.“If I held on tightly to you, the current would run through you, and you wouldn’t be able to feel it, though you could shock someone else.We could actually create a human chain, though the amount of shock the final person could conduct would be less with each addition.My dick being inside you would have the same effect.You wouldn’t be able to feel it anymore if I could get my dick close enough to get inside you.I feel the same shock you do and having my dick shocked is not something I’m interested in.”
There were Dominants who enjoyed playing with electricity as much as he did and definitely male subs who enjoyed having their dick and balls zapped.The very thought made him shudder.He admired their strength and courage but had no desire to emulate them.
“Oh.”From her tone, Law couldn’t tell whether she was disappointed or relieved.Then she giggled again.“So, it would be a cock block shock?”
He laughed so hard, he snorted.
Which made her laugh so hard, she started to sink in the water.He had to hold her up as his cheeks turned red from mortification.
Since when had heeversnorted when he laughed?Maybe when he was a teenager.
Maybe that was it.Iris made him feel like he had during thebeforetimes.
It felt dangerous, but he also didn’t want to let go of that feeling.Especially right now when she was warm, giggling, wriggly, and pressed against him in the tub, leaning trustingly on him, laughing with him, and making him laugh.He felt light.Like his past wasn’t weighing down on him anymore.As though he could be who he wanted to be with her.
ChapterTwenty-Five
Iris
Waking up next to Law was fast becoming one of Iris’ favorite things.After brunch at Marquis, it was finally time for her to head home, which she was not looking forward to.
“Let me know if your roommate gives you any trouble,” he said before closing her car door behind her.“You can always come over to my place.”
“Thank you, but honestly, I’m hoping that won’t be necessary.Not because I wouldn’t enjoy seeing you before going to Stronghold tonight, but because that’s how I want my home life to be.”
Law’s grin flashed, making her feel all warm and melty inside.She really loved making him smile.
“Understood.”
He leaned in for another kiss, then closed the door and stepped back so he could watch her drive away.Iris may have glanced in her rearview mirror a few more times than necessary.Driving away from him sucked, especially since she didn’t know what she was going home to.
She hadn’t lied when she said this wasn’t how she wanted her home life to be.Dreading going home wasn’t pleasant.On the other hand, she wasn’t sure what other option she had.Maybe Rae would be interested in moving in together.Domi and Mitch had said a few things that indicated they might be heading that way, which would leave Rae out in the cold.
With her long friendship with Noelle disintegrating under the weight of living together, Iris wasn’t sure she wanted to take that risk again.Being friends and being roommates could be two very different things, and with things between her and Noelle falling apart, she didn’t want to lose her new friends.
Maybe she could find an apartment on her own, though she didn’t think so.The Hills paid her well, but that would really strain her budget.A room might be more manageable, but if she did that, she might as well move back in with her dad for a while rather than renting a room from strangers.
Iris made a face.
