The words hit me like a punch to the chest.
My throat tightens, and I swallow hard, trying to push down the surge of emotions threatening to rise. “I don’t know what that means.”
“Yes, you do,” he says, and his certainty makes my stomach twist. “You’ve spent your whole life building walls, fighting to keep everyone out. But what has that gotten you?”
I hate that he’s right. I hate that his words cut so deep that they scrape against parts of me I’ve worked so hard to hide. But more than anything, I hate that I don’t have an answer.
“I’m going to untie you now. You’ve done so well today, dove.”
I glow under his praise. It literally lights me up from the inside, like I’m suddenly filled with helium and none of the heavy darkness or shadows can touch me now.
“I know how difficult this was for you,” he continues. “I believe in you, Moira. But this is the beginning of you learning to believe in yourself.”
I relax against the bed as his fingers come to my skin to untie the silken ropes. They didn’t actually hurt. He was skillful with the perfect amount of tension he allowed in the rope and his knots.
The moment I come free, I reach for him.
Daring what I probably shouldn’t. Maybe he’ll tie me right back up again. But earlier, he liked it when I begged.
“Please. If I’ve done so well, been such a good girl…” I swallow, but I don’t lower my head and flutter my lashes like I do when I’m flirting with a potential hookup at a bar.
I just look him straight on, my stomach swooping as his dark, intense gaze locks with mine. No guile. No games.
“I’d really like to fuck you, Bane. Please.”
His eyes darken, and his nostrils flare. He lifts a finger in front of my face, and it’s probably only my imagination to think his hand is trembling.
“Yes. But only once a day, and only if you behave as well as you did today.”
SIXTEEN
BANE
She immediately scrambles off the bed and throws herself into my arms.
Literally climbing me.
Like a little monkey, she wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, grinding on me.
I’m immediately hard.
Everyone my whole life has wanted to use me, it’s true.
But never like this.
“I thought you hated me,” I sneer in her ear, arm around her waist, spinning and slamming her up against the nearest wall. All day I’ve been patient, kind, understanding Father Blackwood. But Bane’s finally been unlocked from his cage by her animal need for me.
“I do,” she gasps, biting at my neck.
Fuck. My top lip twitches, and my fingers squeeze her ass. All day, she’s kept this fire leashed, just barely boiling beneath the surface.
Because I fucking told her to. Christ, that does something to me.
“Bite me again if you hate me,” I growl. “But try biting like you fucking mean it.”
I want to fuck her for hours. In every position. On all fours. Face to face. Then smother my face with her cunt, cock in her mouth.
She drags the collar of my button-down shirt aside and sinks her petite little teeth where my shoulder meets my neck.
My cock all but busts my fucking pants to get to her cunt.
“This how you want it?” I growl low. “Up against this wall and not some sweet love-making in the bed?”
She laughs, lifting her head up to glare at me. “I don’t do that shit. I fuck.”
She reaches down and grabs me through my pants, sighing in relief. “Thank Christ. Here I was, worried I’d waited all day to get fucked by a AAA battery.”
My lip twitches. “Oh, so now you just want to use me for my big dick?”
Her body shudders against me, and she groans the same way she did at the club that first night. “After what you put me through today? Of course, I do.”
“Oh, dove,” I laugh caustically, being my true, selfish, spoiled, sadistic little self without any remorse for once in my fucking lie of a life. “But what if I feel like putting you through so much more? I do so like it when you beg.”
She makes an infuriated noise and writhes against me, dry humping me through my pants. The skirt of her dress is already hiked up, so it’s easy enough to reach down and unlock her chastity belt. It drops to the ground, and she groans needily.
I spank her bare bottom just to hear the noise of it and to rile her up even more.
It works.
I’m greeted by another indignant noise and more of her grinding on me.
I grin and chuckle, deep in my chest.
Oh, I’m going to give her exactly what she’s asking for.
Pressing her against the wall with my chest, I put an arm under her ass and lock gazes with her while I reach in my other pocket for the condom I stowed there earlier.
