moved around in front of her. Her eyelashes fluttered as she blinked rapidly, her lips parted. “Shh,” he murmured. “It’s okay. Do you trust me?”
Her tongue swiped over her bottom lip. She swallowed.
“Be honest, Sloane.” He held her gaze.
“What are you going to do to me?”
He smiled. “Oh, baby. I’d love to list everything I want to do to you, starting with sucking on those pretty nipples. Licking your sweet pussy until you come on my face. Fucking you until you come again on my cock. Paddling that little ass until you’re so wet and aching you beg me to fuck you again. Maybe even—”
“Okay, okay,” she cut in breathlessly. “I get the picture.” His words alone made her wet and aching.
He smiled. “I’m going to make you feel so good. I just want you to let go. Just feel.”
Oh sweet baby deity. So tempting. Liquid heat was sliding down inside her. She felt breathless. Edgy. Excited.
He rubbed his thumb along her bottom lip. She parted her lips and he slid his thumb inside, over the edge of her bottom teeth then brushing her tongue. Some kind of instinct made her close her lips around his thumb and suck. She closed her teeth gently on his thumb as he slowly drew it out, watching her intently.
“Damn, that’s hot.”
It was.
“Do you trust me?” he asked again. He held her gaze steadily. “I promise you it will be good. And if I do anything—anything—you don’t like, you just have to tell me to stop.”
The idea of just giving in to it and letting him take over made her knees wobble with yearning. Oh God, she wanted that, so much. But it terrified her at the same time.
“What are you afraid of?” he murmured, stroking her cheek.
She knew exactly what she was afraid of. Admitting it out loud made her vulnerable. But she already knew that Levi was trustworthy. “I’m afraid of losing control.”
It was more than losing control of her body. Much more. It was losing control of her feelings. Today had stirred up all kinds of emotions inside her. Levi stirred up all kinds of emotions inside her. Those things scared her. And letting him take control and do things to her that she desperately wanted…made her afraid she was going to feel even more.
It was all a jumbled mess of confusion in her head, and anxiety twisted in her gut.
“Stop thinking about it,” Levi said. “I can see your mind working. Let’s just let go of everything and enjoy tonight, okay?”
She pulled in a long slow breath. She wanted it. She thought about how she felt…yes, the idea of surrendering made her stomach twist with anxiety, but it also made her pussy clench hard. Yes, there was risk and danger…and yet with Levi, more than anything she felt desired. Safe. Secure.
Could she do that? Could she let go of everything and enjoy? Or should she just tell him no right now and make her escape?
Chapter Fifteen
“Okay,” she whispered. “I trust you.”
Her words hit him like a fist to the chest. Because all of a sudden, this wasn’t just sex. Her trusting him to tie her up, letting herself be that vulnerable, was a huge fucking gift. He recognized that and for a moment it gave him pause. It was also a huge responsibility. He had to take care of her, make sure it was good for her, make sure he didn’t hurt her.
Sex had always been easy and fun for him. Hookups and sometimes a few dates. He’d never felt responsible for a woman before. He liked giving women pleasure, and he’d been told he was pretty damn good at it. But he’d never felt like a woman had put herself into his hands and trusted him with everything she had.
But he didn’t want to freak the fuck out and make this all heavy and serious. This was still supposed to be fun. His dick was still telling him to get on with it, hard and throbbing.
The air around them had become hot and pulsing as they looked into each other’s eyes. “Thank you,” he murmured. “Now get your pretty ass over onto the bed.”
Her mouth pursed, the corners tipped up, a sultry half smile that made his chest expand. And made his palm tingle with the desire to feel that ass smack against it. She pivoted on one of those metallic spiky heels and walked to the bed, hands at the base of her spine. All she wore was
