A Little Harmless Ride (20 page)

He hadn’t said a word since he had given her the order. He was moving around the room and she had a sense he was getting things ready for her, but she knew the game, knew what was expected of her.

The lights were turned down then he came to her.

“
Hands on the bed, and spread those legs wide.”

She situated herself as instructed. For a few moments, she wondered if he was going to do anything. Then, she felt the crop on her ass. The sting of the leather against her skin had her gasping, as did the surprising force behind it. Then, he trailed the crop over her flesh.

“
It’s like we were made for each other. I do like to spank, and the fact that you like it…well that makes for fun for us.”

He tapped her, but it wasn’t enough to hurt. It was just enough to tease her. And frustrate her. She needed a good spanking, needed a bit of pain to enjoy, and knowing that Eli was an experienced Dom, he understood it. And he would use it against her. She gritted her teeth. Her breasts were heavy, swinging, her nipples tightened. Painfully. Cool air washed over her as her skin started to heat up.

He slipped the crop between her legs. She wanted to rub against it, but she knew the rules. She had played this game before but with a new Dom, it was always tricky.

She opened her legs further.

“
That’s good.” He slid the crop along her pussy lips. The simple touch sparked another level of arousal from her. She wanted this, wanted to come so badly. The moment she was going to beg for it, he moved away from her again.

Oh…he was good.

“
Since we are new to each other, I want you to know I prefer to be called Eli, if that is okay for you. I know some subs like to call their Dom by the name Sir. It’s part of the game. I am accommodating if it serves a purpose.”

There was something different in his voice. He had always had a commanding way about him, but now…now he was her Dom. His voice was just a bit distant but from her training she knew that was common, especially if they were involved. It was hard not to give into pleasure with someone you already had a sexual relationship with.

“
Which do you prefer?” he asked.

“
Eli.”

“
Good. I like that too. Remember your safe word.”

She nodded just before the crop landed on her ass. She gasped because she hadn’t been expecting it. Pain and pleasure surged and she dug her fingers into the comforter on his bed.

“
I like that sound. Your gasp and the leather on your flesh.”

He hit her again and again, but never in the same place. Each time he landed the crop on her, he pushed her closer to the ultimate pleasure. Barely touching her and he had her ready to come.

Then, he stopped as abruptly as he started. He smoothed his hand over her flesh. Her ass was throbbing and her sex was damp, so fucking damp. She wanted to pull her legs together but she didn’t have permission and she knew the rules.

Apparently reading her mind, Eli slipped his hands between her legs.

“
Damn, you do like a spanking. So fucking wet.” He dipped his finger into her pussy. “That hot, wet pussy is going to feel good. And I barely spanked you.”

She shuddered and he removed his finger, dancing it over her clit for just a second.

“
Ah, there, love, that’s good. But not yet. We’ll have some more fun first.”

He moved away from her.

“
You can look if you want but leave your hands on the bed.”

She turned her head, and she felt her hair slide over her nipples. It hurt. They were so damned hard; even the barest of touches caused her pain. He had already pulled off his shirt and he was undoing his jeans.

He pulled them down and when he stood, he was completely nude. His cock jutted out, fully erect. She licked her lips.

“
Ah, love, you know how to make a man happy. Wanna taste?”

She nodded. He stepped forward and smacked her ass with his palm. Oh, God.

“
Answer me.”

“
Yes, Eli.”

He leaned down and kissed her. When he pulled back, they were both breathing heavily.

“
Thank you.”

He climbed on the bed in front of her, his hand wrapped around his cock. She couldn’t take her gaze from the hand working over his cock.

“
So, a little taste. Not too much. Just a little, love, because I have things I want to do to you.”

He held it in front of her mouth.

“
Lick the crown. Just a lick.”

She nodded and moved forward and did his bidding.

“
Ah, I like that, love. Now, take me into your mouth.”

She wanted to take him all the way in her mouth, but he kept his thrusts shallow. He pulled out when she was just getting started, stroking his shaft again.

“
Do you want some more?”

She nodded.

When he just continued to stare at her and stroke himself she realized he wanted a vocal answer.

“
Yes, Eli.”

He smiled then guided his cock into her mouth.

“
Stay still, love.”

Then he started to fuck her mouth. He took her head into his hands and thrust in and out of her mouth. He went so deep, that he gagged her once or twice, but she didn’t care. In fact, she wanted to feel him come, taste it as it slid down her throat. But he had other plans.

He pulled away from her and out of her mouth then leaned down to kiss her.

“
Yeah, you’d like to eat it all up, wouldn’t you? Well, we can’t have that tonight. And you’re naughty, but you behave so well. On the bed, love. I need another taste of you.”

She laid down on the bed, but he slipped off and went to his dresser. He pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

“
New. Just bought them,” he said giving her a naughty smile. “Seems I had you on my mind when I found them though. I wanted to see your wrists tied up.”

They were leather but padded on the inside. He slipped them over one wrist, then slid them between the bed slates. He cuffed the second wrist.

“
Nice. I like the way you’re on the pillow there.”

Of course he did. The way he had laid her there arched her back just a little bit. Her breasts were on display. He pinched first one, then the other nipple. She drew in a deep breath and pressed her legs together.

“
Oh, bad girl. Spread those legs.”

She did as ordered.

“
So sweet. I like a sub who knows when to behave.” He knelt on the bed beside her and laid a condom beside her on the mattress. Then, he settled between her legs.

“
I like seeing my pussy all wet like this. You like a good spanking. Ever try a cat ‘o nine tales?”

“
No.”

“
Well, we will have to try that out.” He leaned closer and sniffed. “God, you smell good.”

He licked her. Over and over—leisurely as if he had all night. Pulling back he said, “Do not come without my permission, you understand?”

She nodded. She couldn’t speak at the moment because seeing him smile up at her from between her legs did funny things to her. It was erotic and carnal and sexy…but it also did things to her she didn’t expect.

He slipped a finger into her, while teasing her clit. She could feel her orgasm approaching but she fought it. She was made of sterner stuff, just like she had thought earlier. She could do this.

But, with each flick of his tongue, he pushed her closer, and closer. She was so damned wet; she was almost embarrassed by it.

Suddenly, he swore and moved away. He grabbed his condom and drew in a few deep breaths. While giving her a hard look.

“
You push me.”

She almost opened her mouth to say something but snapped it shut.

“
I give you permission to talk,” he said.

“
I didn’t say or do anything.”

He rolled the condom on and leaned closer, placing a hand beside her head on the mattress. “You exist. That is apparently all I need.” He kissed her, thrusting his tongue into her mouth over and over. She could taste herself there, her passion for him.

He kneeled between her legs again and entered her in one long, hard thrust. She almost came there, but he looked down at her.

“
Not yet. I want to be together.”

Quickly, he started to ride her. Over and over, he thrust into her. Each one seemed to be harder than the last. The headboard slammed against the wall and then, he looked down at her.

“
Now, Crysta, come with me.”

She was already coming before he finished the sentence. Pleasure exploded through her as tiny sparks of erotic delight danced through her blood.

“
Yeah, that’s it,” he groaned. “Oh, fuck, baby, so good.”

He continued to thrust once…twice…then he thrust one last time. He groaned her name as he shuddered against her.

A few moments later, he collapsed on top of her and lay there.

He lifted his head and looked down at her, pushing aside her hair. There was something there in his eyes. “Sorry. I usually put on a bit more display, but I have a hairline trigger where you’re concerned.”

He kissed her, slowly, sweetly.

Undoing her cuffs, he massaged her wrists. “All right, love?”

“
Yes, just fine,” she said, snuggling down in bed with him. He pulled the covers over them as the first of the rain started to patter on the roof. “And, lord, I’m glad you took it easy on me. It’s been awhile.”

“
Yeah?”

“
Yeah. But it would be nice if you didn’t spank like a girl.”

He laughed. “Oh, you’re going to pay for that one.”

She laid her head on his shoulder and smiled. She liked the sound of that.

Chapter Twenty

They lay in bed hours later listening to the rain patter on the roof. It was all very domestic. And that was odd.

They both had snoozed off and on and he couldn’t remember feeling so well, settled.

“
I didn’t think it rained this much,” she said, sliding her arm around his waist as she laid her head on his shoulder.

He liked hearing her voice in the dark. Hell, he just liked hearing her voice period. He’d never been this content with a woman before. He could just lay here for hours beside her.

And that should scare the hell out of him. It didn’t though. In fact, he had been craving this with her. He wanted these slow and easy moments along with the raunchy sex.

“
It usually doesn’t. But then, it depends on the season.”

He could feel her smile against his skin. “I kind of like it. It’s so soft, so relaxing. And everything smells so much better after. It’s like it layers Hawaii with good things. Do you ever have any big storms?”

“
Yeah, love, we call them hurricanes.”

There was a beat of silence then she chuckled. She pulled herself up to her elbow to look down at him. Her hair fell over his chest tickling him.

“
Has anyone told you that you’re a smartass?”

He laughed at the way she turned his words around on him. “Yeah, once or twice.”

Her laughter faded as she cupped his face. She leaned down and kissed him, never closing her eyes.

“
Thank you.”

He’d had more than one sub thank him in his time, but this…well it meant more. There was something in the way she said, and the way his heart contracted when she said the words that told him it mean more than anything any sub had ever said to him.
