him.
“I don’t want—”
Oh, it was clear what she didn’t want. Unfortunately for her, she was now in his possession and... “Which box did you check next to anal play and anal sex on the limits list, little one?”
She tipped her head back, eyes blank. “I-I don’t remember.”
Luckily, he did. “Both are down as soft limits, Bodie. Which means I can test just how opposed you are to experiencing them, and hopefully show you how incredibly good they can feel. Do you recall me explaining hard and soft limits?”
Bodie nodded, but she didn’t seem thrilled.
“Until we return to the social area, I have to insist you vocalize your answers, Bodie. Your voice tells me what I need to know, more than the words.” He kissed her forehead, her nose, and finished with a long, slow melding of lips that forced a groan from his lungs. “Fuck me, this mouth is lethal, little one.”
She whimpered. “Yellow.”
Okay then, showtime. Gripping her hand in his, Braun pulled her along quickly to the corner space he’d reserved. A track rail ran from the left wall to a post and cut over to the right wall. Both curtains were pulled shut, signifying the space was taken, forming a square area big enough for them to play in comfortably. Normally he would pull the curtains back fully to allow for full, unobstructed viewing, but tonight he only shoved each one a few feet, maintaining a small amount of privacy.
She followed him into the play area like a child, those blue eyes of hers full of trepidation as she gaped at the equipment.
Braun’s initial thought had been to use the custom-made pivotal Saint Andrew’s Cross across the room. He liked the idea of being able to tease her standing up and laying down if he so wished, but he was opposed to restraining at her this point. The incident with her mother might have left her with an aversion to being tied down—something she’d hesitantly denied when he asked her earlier.
With that in mind, he’d decided on the medical play table. Liam had been kind enough to give him a hand carrying the spare one from storage.
The stirrups were folded neatly beneath the table itself, out of sight, and he’d set the head end to reclining for now. The best benefit of this equipment was that Bodie could watch what he did to her...and he could see what effect he was having on that curious brain.
“Doing okay, little one?”
“I...yes, Sir.”
“Good girl. Strip off your underwear and sit right here.” He thumped his palm down on the cool black leather before turning to wheel a metal table into position. The implements he’d gathered earlier were lined up on the top shelf. A brand-new subbie blanket—timber wolf gray, plush velvet on one side and faux fur on the other—was folded neatly underneath.
Braun was pleased to see Bodie’s ass perched exactly where he’d requested. Tiny tremors rippled over her skin. “No one’s going to hurt you, Bodie. You’re safe here with me.” He skimmed his palm down her back. “What color are you now?”
“Um...orange?” she whispered, twisting her fingers together in her lap.
“Let’s see what I can do to get you to green.” Braun tugged gently on her hair, admiring the plait she’d formed from the silky strands. “You didn’t give me an answer when I asked how you feel about sexual contact, little one. I’d like you to give me one now.”
Deer in the headlights.
Bodie took a deep breath and he thought she might blurt her reply in a rush of words, but instead she just slumped and fiddled with her fingers.
“Now, little one.”
“I-I guess it’s okay, Sir.”
I’m missing something here, he thought with a frown. He’d played with subs who were more excited about having an enema. Maybe it was just nerves, but he didn’t think so. “Is there something you want to tell me, Boadicea? Because if you can’t give me a good reason not to touch you tonight, my mouth and my hands,” he told her in his Dom voice, “are going to kiss and finger your pretty pussy until you come. Are we clear?”
“Yes, Sir.” She swallowed, nodded. “I can use the...my safeword?”
Braun cupped her face, studied the small lines of strain she couldn’t hide around her mouth and eyes. “I’ll never take that away from you, Bodie. Use it if you feel overwhelmed. We’ll stop and regroup.” He kissed her then, taking his time until she opened up and responded beautifully. When he pulled back,
