My mouth twists as I peer into the dark screens covering his eyes.

Are theyreallyblue?

“You could…take it off?” I clear my throat. “I mean, if you want to.”

The room goes quiet as the pause between us stretches. I’msurehe has the same reservations I do, that when the mask comes offthis becomes real, with all the potential problems that come with that.

“Galina—“

“Blindfold me.”

“What?” he growls.

“Blindfold me. Then you can take your mask off.”

He chuckles.

“I’m serious!” I grin. “There’s no way you’re not completely uncomfortable in that thing. Please. I insist.”

There’s another long moment of silence before he nods.

“There’s a sleep mask in the nightstand beside you,” I tell him.

I frown at the sudden absence of his arm around me as he reaches behind him for the drawer. Then he’s rolling back into me, pressing his chest against my skin.

…He’s still hard as his cock nudges against my ass, making my thighs clench.

He slips the silk mask over my face and adjusts it over my eyes, turning my world black.

“Were you the type to go hunting for presents before Christmas?” he asks.

I giggle. “No way! I love surprises.”

“Good. No peeking.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” I grin.

His arm slips away from me again, and I hear him sliding his mask off. He exhales, and his breath teases against my nape as his arm circles me again.

“Better?”

“Much,” he says.

I feel myself smile.

“I like your voice,” I say quietly.

“I’m disguising it.”

“I know. I still like it.”

A big grin spreads over my face as I snuggle back into him. The muscles in his arms ripple as he pulls me tighter. His pecs flex against my back.

…His cock pulses against my ass as heat tingles over my skin.

“Getting comfy?” he rumbles quietly.

“Yeah,” I breathe. “All cozy.”
