smartass. The system feeds the house. It will pull your device from the connection to the main house sound system.”
I shrug. “Wouldn’t have been the first time you’ve read my mind.”
“Maybe,” he says teasingly.
I tap at the screen and pull up my phone. It allows me to unlock my device from the controller and get into my phone’s playlists. I find the song I want and press play, placing it on repeat. “River” by Bishop Briggs pours through the speakers.
I toss the device down on the bed behind John and hand him the tie. He gives me a smug look. I look at him pointedly. He talked shit about beginning able to tie the same knot as the guys on the videos and better than they did.
He takes the silk and effortlessly creates the two loops and knot. He sticks his hands in the loops and bites the end to tug the loops tight around his wrists, winking at me when it’s done. I grin and kiss his lips. It is sexier when he does it. I stand up on the bench to reach for one of the hooks fastened to the intricate canopy part of the bed frame.
John kisses my thigh. “The keypad will release them for you. That one is FM3 on the screen,” he breathes against my skin.
“Oh,” I say and feel my cheeks heat.
I should have known he had this bed rigged up to that thing too. Squatting back down, I allow my breasts to hover in his face, teasing him. When I press the keypad, the hook I want releases with a gasp. The chains rattling as it drops. I have to press the arrow on the screen to lower it to the level I want.
“You’re like the fucking inspector gadget of kinky shit.”
He releases a deep laugh. “I’ve always known I’d find someone perfect for this room.”
I turn to find his face close to mine. His eyes searching. Oh, he’s trying to place me under that spell. I’m not gonna do it.
Instead of getting lost in his gaze, I lift his arms and place them on the hook. He has an amused look on his face as if I’m an amateur. Well, I am but I plan to show him.
I move to his feet and reach for the restraint I noticed tucked away beneath the bench he’s sitting on. The chain releases, revealing its length. This will do. I fasten the first one around his left ankle.
“Very observant,” he murmurs.
“I learned from the best.” I wink at him to mock him.
I move to the right ankle and reach for that restraint. Once I have it fastened as well, I rise and take a step back to eye him. His muscles bulge as his arms are trapped above his head. Slowly, I allow my eyes to move down his gorgeous body. His collarbone is already glistening with sweat, putting his Brothers Black tattoo on display.
Traveling lower with my gaze, his abs come into view. I lick my lips and slide my hand down my stomach to where the sheer fabric of the teddy dips. Slipping my hand inside, I bite my lip, then touch myself.
The chains clink and I smile. I lift my eyes to his and the heat I see almost buckles my knees. He’s looking at me through his lashes and hooded lids. To have this beautiful man look at me with so much passion places a fire in my belly.
He leans back slightly, bringing my attention back down. His legs are spread wide due to the restraints. My lips part. He’s so hard and it looks like all the blood has rushed to the fat mushroomed tip.
“Like what you see?” he asks, his voice a deep rumble that divulges the depth of his want. “Come get, Roni.”
My pussy is already weeping, but I’m not ready to free us of this torment. He promised me control. Clearly, he doesn’t know how to submit. He still thinks he’s in control.
“Do you remember being mad at me for not being around for the ladies’ performance at the compound?” I say.
His forehead creases for a second, then recognition comes forth. He narrows his eyes. “Yeah, I remember.”
I spin on the balls of my feet and make a running start for the waterfall. Leaping in the air, I reach out for the two rings that hang above the platform the water runs over. John calls out my name to stop me. I’m sure because the rings are
