Warm, soft. Those lips were plump and sensual and he somehow made them masculine. They were like the rest of Kai. Utterly beautiful and on someone else perhaps a bit feminine, but Kai was all man.
He was still as she kissed him, her lips moving softly over his. It wouldn’t last long. He was giving her this time. He would take over and her whole body thrilled at the idea. He was right. They couldn’t go back after last night. They’d connected in such an intimate way that she didn’t want to. Yes, she was still afraid, but this man was worth the risk.
When she eased back down, he was smiling at her. “Do you know how long I’ve waited for you to kiss me?”
“Probably since last night.”
His hands smoothed back her hair, making her feel so wanted and cared for. “Since the day I met you. I was too stupid to understand that. Now, we have the issue of your infraction.”
Yes, they did. Why had she ever thought they should keep this to the club? She turned, her hands shaking as she shoved the pajama bottoms and bikini panties off her hips and down her legs. Leaning forward, she found the position he’d asked for, palms flat on the bed, her ass in the air.
“Look at that,” he whispered. “I thought I’d been rough with you but this morning your backside is fresh and perfect. It’s like no one spanked you. Just this one tiny mark here.”
His fingers brushed over a spot on her left cheek that made her gasp. He might not have left marks, but damn she was sore. She was about to be sorer. God, this was going to hurt. Her whole body softened at the thought.
She’d denied herself for so long.
“I’m going to give you the choice this time.” Kai’s fingers scraped lightly along her flesh, sending shivers up her spine. “Normally I love hearing you scream for me, really the more the better. Some tears and pleas and I’ll be a very happy Dom, but there are still people out in the living room. It’s not going to bother me at all, but I want you to be comfortable.”
“Please gag me, Kai. Please.”
“With pleasure, baby.”
She could hear him moving around behind her, and when he came back he had a fresh pair of her undies in his hands.
“Unlike a lot of Doms, I personally enjoy pretty panties. They make such good gags when we need to keep our games private. Open. Since you won’t be able to talk through this spanking, all you have to do to get me to stop is hold up your left hand.”
He was giving her a way to safe word without speaking. She had to admit that the idea that her friends were right down the hallway and Kai was about to do dirty things to her aroused her unbearably. “I can do that.”
“Stand up and ask me to gag you again. Does my sub need a gag in her mouth so she won’t cry out?”
Her nipples were rigid against her tank top. “Yes, Sir. I need it.”
“Open your mouth.” His right hand caught her, forcing her head up. “And I damn straight meant what I said about stopping me if it’s too much. I know you like it, but I won’t damage you for anything. Take it.”
He was rough as he shoved the panties into her mouth. She would never be able to look at those the same way again. He pressed them, filling her mouth and making her jaw ache. It was the right side of pain, exactly enough to start up the chemical reaction in her brain. Some people got runner’s high. She found such peace in this place.
And it was better this time because she could trust Kai.
Because Kai was the one.
“Back down,” Kai ordered.
She turned again, placing her hands down on the bed. She could scream as much as she liked now. For the first time in forever, she could actually let loose.
“Have I ever told you how beautiful you are? I like having you gagged because you can’t talk back and argue with me. Did you think I didn’t notice that every single time I give you a compliment, you negate it somehow? When I told you that dress was lovely on you last Monday, you told me you had borrowed it from Sarah and I should see how she filled it out.” His hand smacked on her ass, fire skimming her skin.
