Darkness (New Species #12)(31)

“I said sit.”
“Fuck you. I’m not playing this game. I told you what I could.”
He withdrew elastic ties and, though she struggled, secured her at the elbows to the arms of the chair, at the back. He easily subdued her. He rose and went to the bed, grabbed a pillow and returned. He got behind her and she gasped when he shoved the pillow between her lower back and the chair. He straightened, came around and dropped to his knees in front of her. He got more elastic ties from the bag.
“Don’t make me bruise you.”
That was a good indication that he didn’t want to inflict pain.
“Spread your legs a little. Heels against the chair.”
He was going to make certain she didn’t get out of the chair. She hesitated but did it. Her fear level had dropped considerably. “You’re frustrated. I get that. Why don’t we both just calm down a bit and rethink this?”
He secured her ankles to the chair legs so she couldn’t lift them. He reached around her and hooked her waist, yanking her ass to the edge. He adjusted the pillow then let go and shoved her thighs wide apart, exposing her pussy. She tried to wiggle back but the pillow wouldn’t allow it.
“Is this going to be sexual torture? As opposed to just seducing it out of me, like last time? Okay, new approach. This is starting to look a bit kinky.” She tried to use humor.
He arched one eyebrow.
“I’d prefer that over real torture. The whole bleeding-and-in-pain thing would suck.” She allowed her feelings to show. “I’d never forgive you.”
“Nor would I,” he muttered.
“I’m glad we agree.”
His mouth twisted and he frowned. “Do you think I’d really hurt you? That I could?”
“I hope not.”
His features hardened and all emotion was wiped away. “I could but I wouldn’t. Don’t ever forget that.”
It reaffirmed her faith in him and the feelings she’d started to have for him. He bent a little and reached into the bag once more. He straightened and held out a ball gag. She’d seen them in sex films. “No way.”
“Open your mouth.”
“I thought you wanted me to talk.”
“I don’t want anyone to hear you scream. Species have excellent hearing.”
“Then it’s a ‘hell no’.” She clenched her teeth and showed him that she had by parting her lips.
He grinned. “Really?”
She nodded.
He dropped the gag and reached into his bag again, pulled out duct tape. “This hurts coming off. Your lips are sensitive, Kat. One way or another, I’m going to have to muffle you.”
“You wouldn’t.”
One eyebrow arched.
“Why are you doing this? We both know there are limits on what we can say to each other. That’s been an understanding between us.”“Give me the name. It will end here.”
“Cut me a break.”
His chin lowered and he closed his eyes. She relaxed. Her instincts had been right. Darkness hadn’t hurt her when she’d been a stranger. They’d shared intimate moments since then. He’d opened up to her and they’d become a lot closer. She understood his frustration, feeling it too.
He jerked his head up and snarled, snapping close to her face with his fangs. She gasped and pulled back, not expecting it. He shoved the rubber between her teeth. She tried to use her tongue to shove it out and twist her head at the same time. Darkness fisted her hair at the nape of her neck until it actually hurt, holding her still while his other hand kept the rubber in place. He pushed it in more and then grabbed her jaw, holding it closed around the ball. He snagged the rounded loop over her head and secured it.
He let go and she tried to curse. It came out muffled. She leaned back, trying to rub her hair against the chair back to wiggle the strap up. Darkness yanked her forward and shook his head. He kept her there while he pulled out a clip from his bag and stood, leaning over her. It dug into her hair, securing the thing in place. She seethed, glaring at him.
He bent and shook his head. “Surprise always works. It’s a natural reaction for someone to scream or gasp when frightened. That opens the mouth right up. Did you really think I’d remove your nose? It’s too cute.”
She stared at him until he broke eye contact. A deep sigh came from him. He looked up, regret twisting his lips a little, then leaned in and gently removed the clip and strap, allowing her to spit out the ball gag.
“Fine. Keep it down. I can’t stand you looking at me that way.”
“Thank you.”
“Just keep it down, Kat. I mean it. Otherwise we’re going to have company and I’d rather no one else see you tied to that chair.”
“I wouldn’t like that either.” She glanced down her body and muttered how wrong it would be.
He chuckled. “What? I didn’t understand you. Were you calling me a name?”
She glared at him rather than speak. He was being a controlling bastard but not as much of one as he had been. He sat back on his legs and looked down, unfastening his pants. He left them on but the front gaped open, revealing a line of tan skin and evidence that he hadn’t taken the time to put on briefs.
Kat tested the ties holding her in place but couldn’t get free. She wasn’t exactly uncomfortable in the plush chair and the restraints weren’t too tight. He gripped her inner thighs and shoved them apart then rose to his knees to put his hips between them so she couldn’t close them again.
She stared into his eyes and wondered what he’d do to her. Some of his evident amusement fled. 
“Don’t look at me that way.”
Is he kidding? “How am I supposed to look? You have me tied to a chair.”
“I’m not going to enter you. I just didn’t want my pants digging into my dick because I know I’m going to react to you. You have a way of making a male pretty uncomfortable.”
He reached into the bag she had begun to hate. She turned her head, worried about what he’d pull out next. He hesitated until she looked back at him.
“I thought it might come to this at some point. I did a little shopping with you in mind. Overnight delivery is a great option you humans have. I like to be prepared.” He paused. “Things have changed between us now. I know you better and I put a lot of time into considering how to go about doing this.”
He lifted his arm and her eyes widened. He held a tube of lubricant. He even turned it so she could read the label. It was warming gel. She looked back at him. He placed the cold tube on the top of her thigh and reached into the bag again.
Part of Kat was flattered. She had a suspicion that the bag held sex toys. No man had ever done that for her before and it was exciting.
The second item he withdrew made her swallow. She stared at the large vibrator. It had a rounded rubber head and a long handle. Darkness allowed her to stare at it for a few seconds before he picked up the lube, uncapped it and doused the tip of the vibrator with the clear gel.
“I’m going to make you orgasm again and again.” His voice deepened. “You ready, my little pretend-cat?”
“That’s why you wanted me gagged?”
“Yes.”
She’d had fantasies about a man doing that to her but he was about to make it a reality. She nodded. “Do your worst.” She licked her lips. “Or your best.”
He dropped the gel to the floor and brushed his fingertips across her nipple. It hardened at his touch. He used his thumb to circle the tip and she responded instantly.
“Let’s see if you purr.”
He turned the vibrator on. The sound was loud in the room and she guessed he had new batteries for that sucker since it seemed at full power. She tensed when he lowered it and held it inches from her pussy. She looked down and then at him. Her heart rate increased and excitement had her almost panting before he’d even started.
One arm wrapped around her waist and he pulled her to the very edge of the seat. “I’ve got you. Just feel. Are you going to tell me the name?”
She shook her head. “You know I can’t.”
“Are you ready? How tough are you, sweetheart?”
She lifted her chin. He hadn’t gotten the name from her before and he wouldn’t do it now. It was a kind of extremely sexy game between them actually, in a twisted way. She accepted that surprising insight and didn’t struggle. She wanted him to continue.
He adjusted the speed of the vibrator to something slower and touched it against her clit. She jerked, the sensation instant and intense. Pleasure radiated upward and she closed her eyes.
He rubbed it against her clit and she moaned. His arm tightened, holding her in place. She tried to grab hold of him, only to be reminded that her arms were restrained. She wanted to touch him. He upped the speed and she moaned louder. The orgasm hit fast and hard. She threw her head back and opened her eyes, staring into his as her body rode through the force of it.
He pulled the vibrator away and she relaxed, breathing hard. The look on his face told her he was affected. He had that hungry, sexy look she’d seen before. She looked down, noticing that his cock was hard.
“Are you going to fuck me now?” She hoped he would.
“Not yet.”She lifted her gaze to his.
He flipped on the vibrator. “We’re only beginning.”
He pressed it against her already-sensitive clit. She cried out and tried to twist away but he held her still, forcing her to feel. It was too much but she couldn’t tell him since nothing intelligible came out of her mouth. He increased the speed and she knew hell. It hurt so good, though, and she came a second time. Darkness turned off the vibrator. He leaned in, pressed his chest against hers and his lips brushed her ear as she tried to catch her breath.
