Page 56 of Not Safe For Work

“No! No.” He gazed at me through his lashes. “Please, no.”

I just laughed and kissed his cheek. After we’d cleaned ourselves up, we returned to the bedroom and fell back into my bed. It was much too hot for any kind of covers, especially since I wanted to be as close to him as possible, so we left the sheets rumpled at the end of the bed and tangled ourselves in the middle of the mattress.

“How do you feel?” I asked.

“Like I’m going to sleep like the dead tonight.”

“It’s not even seven.”

“Says the guy who didn’t have his dick in a cage all day. I’m exhausted.”

I laughed. “Mission accomplished.”

“Uh-huh.” He rubbed his hand over his face. “Funny, sex like that feels even better after being tortured all day.”

“Does it?”

He nodded. “Spent all day uncomfortable as hell. Then the cage comes off, and suddenly I’m over your bed and you’re fucking me. And it felt amazing.”

“Are you saying you want me to do it again?”

“I’d…rather…” He chewed his lip. “I’d rather not wear that thing very often, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it in the future.”

“Good to know.” I kissed his cheek. “Just means if I have to punish again, you know there’s going to be a reward at the end if you take your punishment gracefully.”

“How do I get the reward without the punishment?”

“Don’t misbehave.”

He flashed a wicked smile. “What fun is that?”

Goose bumps prickled my neck. “You are just bratty enough to be fun, you know that?”

“So you like your subs bratty?”

“To a point, yes.” I slid my hand up his chest, running my fingers through the thin, dark hair. “You happen to walk that line exactly the way I like it.”

“Apparently Leathr was right.” He took my hand and kissed my palm. “We are a good match.”

“We’re an incredible match. Where the hell have you been for the last twenty years?”

He laughed, rubbing his eyes with his thumb and forefinger. “I could ask you the same thing, you know.” Dropping his arm to his side, he turned to me. “Bottom line, though, even if it took me this long to find a Dom like you, the wait was well worth it for this.”

“Likewise.” I pulled him closer and let him rest his head on my shoulder. “You were well worth the wait.”

And he definitely was. I still couldn’t believe my luck. I had the sexiest man who’d ever set foot in Mitchell & Forsythe. I had a sub who was just bratty enough to ensure I could have all kinds of fun with punishments. And I had a lover who could make me come so hard, my eyes watered.

No doubt about it—I’d hit the fucking jackpot.
