“ NATHALIE POV ”  


I’d never been cuffed to a bed before. Or to anything else, either, since I couldn’t recall even seeing handcuffs before not in real life, anyway.

I probably should’ve been nervous about it, especially since we were having makeup sex after our first really big fight.

One where I probably should’ve made Garrett work harder for my forgiveness.

But I couldn’t—not after his admission about how I’d fixed what he hadn’t even realized had been broken in him.

It resonated with something deep inside me, because that’s what he’d done for me, too.

He hadn’t just freed me from the cage my father had kept me in for so long.

He’d made me happy for the first time in my life since I’d lost my mom.

I’d done what was expected of me for so many years. I refused to worry about should-haves anymore.

They weren’t important. What Garrett and I had together was…

Which was how I found myself completely naked, sated from the powerful orgasm he’d given me with his mouth,

Cuffed to our bed, and beyond ready for whatever else he had in store for me.

Even if it included torturing me with a vibrator.

A strange mixture of vulnerability and power rushed through me as I stared up at him.

I was completely under his control, unable to free my hands from the cuffs.

His hazel eyes gleamed with need as they swept down my body, but they were also filled with a love so fierce it made my heart stutter in my chest.

Garrett was in charge of my body at the moment, but everything he did was for me.

The control was really mine, something he proved as he slid his fingers between the fur lining of the cuffs and my wrists.

“They aren’t too tight, are they?”

I shook my head.

“If it weren’t for the whole not-being-able-to-move-my-arms thing, I’d hardly even know they were there.”

“I’m fucking thrilled to hear that, beautiful.”

He shifted on the mattress, moving between my legs after spreading them wider.

“Because the last thing I’d ever want to do is hurt you.”

I smiled up at him.

“I know.”

He leaned over my body, bracing his arms on either side of me by pressing his hands into the mattress.

His eyes burned into mine.

“You really do, don’t you?”

“Of course, I do.”

He trailed his lips along my jaw before claiming my mouth in a deep, wet, hot kiss that reeked of possession.

When he lifted his head again, I was panting for breath and writhing beneath his body, desperate to get closer to him.

“I know you trust me with the physical stuff, but it’s more than that. You trust me with your heart, too. With everything that makes you so fucking special.”

He pressed his lips against mine again, almost like he couldn’t help himself.

“You were hurt tonight, but you still listened to my explanation.”

Another hard press of his lips.

“Believed me when you didn’t have to.”

A nip at my bottom lip.

“I can’t tell you how much that means to me.”

“We love each other.”

And for me, it was just that simple.

Lifting up, his hands slid down my body, softly caressing my skin everywhere he touched.

“And tonight, I’m going to show you just how much I love you by worshipping this gorgeous-as-fuck body of yours.”

His lips trailed down my neck and pressed against the spot where my pulse fluttered wildly.

“Because it’s mine to do with as I please.”

He bit down where my shoulder met my neck, hard enough to leave a mark.

“All fucking mine.”

“Yours,” I repeated softly.

“And I’m going to drive you wild tonight.”

His tongue swirled around the stiffened peak of one of my nipples.

“As crazy as you always make me.”

He sucked my nipple into his mouth as his fingers drifted lower, coming to rest between my legs, and he proceeded to do just that.

His light touches drove me higher and higher, but he avoided my clit and didn’t sink into my wet heat.

He played with me instead, and it wasn’t long before his mouth got into the action, too.

He kissed along my lower belly. Nibbled at my inner thighs.

Licked the outside of my pussy lips and sucked them into his mouth.

Used his thumbs to hold them apart while he breathed against my core.

Then he lifted up a little and the cool air of the room drifted across my damp flesh, sending goosebumps along my skin.

I whimpered in need, trapped in place by the cuffs at my wrists and his heavy weight on my legs.

He chuckled against my skin before circling my clit with his tongue.

“What’s wrong, beautiful? Do you need something from me?”

“Less teasing and more of that worshipping you talked about would be good right about now.”

“Oh, I’m worshipping you, all right.”

His tongue snaked out and flicked across my clit, making my hips jerk off the mattress.

“You want to come?”

“Yes, please,” I groaned.

“Whatever you want,”

he breathed before licking me from hole to clit in a maddeningly slow stroke.

I widened my legs and twisted up, pushing my pussy closer to his face.

“Whatever you need,”

he promised, sucking my clit into his mouth just long enough to bring me closer to the edge before releasing it with a pop.

“I’ll be the one to give it to you.”

He reached over to grab the vibrator and flicked it on to the low setting, letting it buzz over my clit before moving it lower.

“With my mouth. My fingers. My cock. Or the toys I want to use on you.”

Then he inched it into my pussy.

“Because you’re mine.”

His lips wrapped around my clit again, and he twisted the vibrator in a slow turn until it hit me right where I needed it.

The combination was so intense, I thought I was going to explode.

“Garrett!”

I screamed as I flew apart, riding the vibrator and his mouth through one of the most intense orgasms he’d ever given me.

I felt like I was going to melt into the mattress when it was done, and I was barely able to keep my eyes open.
