“Nervous?”
“A little.”
I noticed that he’d put plastic gloves on. Like the gloves you saw in a doctor’s office, but black. The low-hung sweats and those gloves sent a wave of heatstraightthrough me. What the hell?
Why?
I traced the burst of arousal through my mind to the source. Because it felt that much more clinical. I was a sexual object, and it was his job to make me come. It added to his matter-of-fact attitude. He was the artist, I was the instrument, and this was happening.
Closing my eyes, I let the realization soak my brain. That had nofucking rightto be so hot. And I didn’t care that I couldn’t explain it. It was simply a relief to let go and be a thing instead of a person for a while. Let him overwhelm me with pleasure because it was what he wanted.
Aiden watched me when I opened my eyes, missing nothing, but he didn’t ask me why we were now both breathing a heavy dose of my perfume.
The other cuff wrapped around my wrist. The inside was soft and didn’t make my hand chains uncomfortable. “I’d like to have a custom set of these made, just for you.”
“Don’t these work?”
A faint smile as he picked up one of the longer leather belts. “They do. But I like the idea of a set that only ever belongs to you.”
When he put it that way. “I like that idea too.” The belt went around my thigh. “Oh. This must be what Brooks used the other day. I couldn’t see.”
“Blindfolded?”
I cleared my throat, face flushing. “There are stocks in his footboard.”
Aiden tilted his head back andlaughed. The sound was joyful and musical. “That’s incredible. Might have to ask where he got them.”
Climbing onto the bed, he spread me out, lifting me higher, and grabbing a strap which connected to my wrist cuff. My hand didn’t move now. “How?”
A slow kiss straight to the center of my chest. “Four other kinky Alphas in this house. They helped me set up the bed restraints.”
“Of course they did.”
“I don’t have to use them,” he said mildly, “and I would love to see you writhing between pain and pleasure.”
I tugged on my wrist again, testing, and it was held fast. “Why do I feel like there’s abutalong with that?”
“Because there is. No restraints is fine, but every time you try to get away from an orgasm I want to give you, I’m adding another one.”
“Oh.”
Aiden stared down at me, taking in every inch of my body with that same hunger I saw the day we met. It felt like I was more than naked.One hand sank into my hair, cradling my skull, and hauled me upward so he could kiss me.
This kiss was different from the ones last night. Right now, his mouth fucked mine without restraint or hesitation. He dominated me with nothing but his lips. Biting, licking, consuming. He made me so dizzy I didn’t even realize he’d pushed my legs apart and attached the straps to my thighs. Only one hand was left free.
He reached for my other wrist, and something shifted. “Wait,” I said. “Yellow. Wait.”
Aiden pulled back, searching my face. “Are you all right?”
“I—” taking a breath, I slowed my thoughts down, trying to find the source of resistance. Brooks had me completely immobilized, and there wasn’t a way to deny I loved it. But Aiden had already declared he was going to push me to the limit, and being completely frozen during that gave me pause.
Not that I didn’t trust him, but I knew I would have nowhere to hide. Was I ready? Was it wrong in the dynamic to ask for that when it wasn’t really my choice?
“Talk to me, Trinity.”
I repeated my thoughts in one long stream of consciousness. Then I braced for the impact of those words. I didn’t realize my eyes were screwed shut until Aiden’s hand cupped my cheek. “Open your eyes. You don’t need to hide.”
My breath was shaky.
