Chapter Fifteen
“Kimber.” Jared’s voice had her breath catching hours later as she walked out of the bathroom, tightening the belt of her robe.
He stood across from her, leaning against the footboard of the bed, his gaze dark, heavy-lidded, his jeans straining at the crotch.
Kimberly stopped in the middle of the room, watching him somberly.
“I’m sorry about earlier,” she whispered. “Sometimes I…” She waved her hand, grimacing at her reluctance to explain the turbulent emotions that filled her.
A gentle smile quirked his lips.
“That’s okay,” he said softly. “I’m not upset, but I do think I’ll punish you for it.”
She stared back at him in surprise.
“Excuse me?” Her heart began racing in her chest as she interpreted the dark expression that came over his face.
Now he looked dominant, dangerous. A shocking thrill shook her body, making her tremble in awareness.
“The house is empty and will be for the rest of the night,” he began to explain, his voice deep, throbbing with arousal. “You’ll keep your virginity, Kimberly, but the rest of you belongs to me. Unconditionally. Agreed?”
She swallowed tightly.
“How?” She licked her lips nervously.
He shook his head firmly. “It doesn’t matter how. All I need is your agreement. Unconditional surrender, Kimberly. Can you sacrifice your control for tonight? No matter what happens, no matter what I ask.”
She could feel her body responding to the heat in his eyes, the arousal and demand in his voice. Her clit ached unlike anything she had known in the past. She could feel her vagina moistening, spilling her juices along the folds of flesh beyond.
Her br**sts were swelling, her ni**les becoming hard and sensitized beneath the silk of her robe.
“All control?” she asked weakly.
She had never dared to attempt such a thing before.
“All control, Kimberly.” He would demand nothing less.
She fought to breathe normally, but the rising excitement made it impossible. Her br**sts were rising and falling harshly, the blood pumping fiercely through her veins.
Kimberly pushed her hands deep into the pockets of her robe, staring back at Jared intently. What did he have in mind? He wouldn’t hurt her, he wouldn’t breach her virginity. What was left that she would need to surrender her control?
“No explanations, Kimberly.” He forestalled her request for just that. “Either you trust me or you don’t. There’s no in-between.”
“I trust you.” There was no question of that.
He smiled again, a crooked, tender smile that caused the muscles of her stomach to clench in response.
“Come here.” He held out his hand to her, though there was nothing so weak as a request. It was a demand.
She stepped forward slowly, taking his hand, expecting him to pull her into his arms. She was surprised when he stopped her inches from his chest.
“I’m going to blindfold you,” he said firmly. “You will leave it on, no matter what. Agreed?”
She had never been blindfolded. She had never been stripped of even the security of her sight. She shuddered at the demand but nodded in compliance.
Jared touched her cheek with the pads of his fingers before leaning close to touch her lips with his.
“I’ll blindfold you here, then carry you to another room. Your safe word is sacrifice; by saying it, you’ll sacrifice a pleasure, baby, unlike anything you’ve known yet.”
