Blake’s hot on my heels as I run into the bedroom.
He grabs me from behind as we fall onto the bed. Our lips lock in a passionate kiss. Blake’s weight settles over me as he takes control. My hands slide under his shirt, fingering each ab.
I swallow the growl as his lips kiss a path down my jaw. Nipping at my ear. Licking down my neck. I want more. I want everything with Blake tonight.
Whipped cream and all.
“Want to try to knock off two bullet points from your list tonight?” Blake asks, hovering over me.
“And what part is that?”
Rocking back onto his heels, Blake undoes the clasp on his belt. He pulls it out slowly. Oh so slowly.
“What about tying you up?”
“Tying me up?” I echo, gulping down the nerves that are now threatening to burst free.
Blake nods. “We don’t have to if you don’t want to.”
“No!” My voice is a little too loud, even to my own ears. “I mean, I want to.”
“Do you trust me?”
“I trust you.”
“Then you want to try it?”
My eyes lock onto Blake’s. They’re so dark, they’re the color of pine trees. But beneath all that heat is a tenderness. Telling me to take this leap with him.
“Okay.”
“Safe word is—”
“We need a safe word?”
“Yes.” Blake’s voice is firm. “Strawberry.”
“You want me to say strawberry if I want you to stop?”
“Say it and I stop right away.”
“Strawberry. Got it.” My lips quirk up in the barest hint of a smile.
Grabbing the back of his shirt, Blake tugs it over his head and drops it next to the bed. I don’t know if I’ll ever get tired of drinking him in. Every muscle. Every dip and curve. I could stare at it every day for the rest of my life and it wouldn’t be enough.
Leaning over me, Blake takes both my hands in his and hauls them up the bed. Strong hands wrap the leather belt around my wrists. It’s tight, but not uncomfortable since they’re not tied to the bed.
“That good?”
I nod. “Yes.”
“Good.”
One hand holds my locked wrists in place while the other starts to undo the buttons on my shirt. Each brush of his fingertips against my skin is setting me on fire.
I never knew I could feel desire like this. Every part of my body knows exactly where Blake is. It’s like my cells are all racing to feel his touch.
