Page 68 of Doubts & Fears

After careful consideration, we’d unanimously agreed to leave the tough questions for Marcel. It was clear it was best to entrust him with such matters, as none of us wanted a repeat of the other night.

We rode the rest of the way home in silence, and she leaned her head against my shoulder, making it comfortable. Without uttering a word of protest, she followed me into the house and to the drawing room.

“Have a seat, please.” She hastened to obey. “You know Nik has rules for you on his evenings, right?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Her piqued curiosity was evident in her eyes, and the way she effortlessly slipped into a submissive state astounded me. It was one of the more fascinating things about her. The way she surrendered herself to the moment, committed to it, damn near embracing it.

Her level of attention never failed to amaze me. At game night, it was seductive and sensual, and today it resembled an eager student awaiting further instruction.

“While we were out today, I had Gerald replace your undergarments with the items I purchased for you. As well as put away the clothing we ordered.”

“Oh, um. Thank you.” She looked down at her lap as her cheeks flamed.

“I’ve also had him put some things in your top right drawer. I’d like you to wear something from that drawer, and only that drawer, when you come to my bed,” I commanded in a raspy voice, my need for her practically consuming me as I thought about the lingerie.

I stared at her face, knowing she was thinking about the one set I had presented her with. And while I was dying to see her in it, I had that one in my room, and that was where it would stay for now.

Visions of stripping it from her body, laying her down on my bed, and sheathing my cock into her tightness reminded me how easily she broke my control.

“Why?”

“Because it pleases me.”

I meant what I said in the car. She wasn’t ready. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy the feel of her, as long as she’d consent to it. For some strange reason, I wanted to fucking spoil her.

She deserved to be dressed in only the finest clothing. A part of me longed to see her transform from the innocent girl she was to the seductress I knew existed inside of her.

“Okay, what is it, though? The clothes in the drawer.”

“Something sexy, and I’d like it if you would obey me on this. Would that be a problem for you?” My heart thudded inside my chest as I awaited her answer. God, if she said it was a problem, I’d go crazy.

“No, Sir. I…I’m okay with that.” Her innocence and willingness to please did nothing to quell my burning need.

Visions of me grinding my erection into her round backside as she slept, only to have her wake and ask me to fuck her hard, played on repeat. “In fact, tonight, when you put it on, I’d like to draw you in it.”

Her head snapped up. “You draw? And why would you want to drawme?” Confusion swirled in her gaze.

“You told me to take up a hobby. So I resurrected one I had put away a long time ago. Would you let me?”

A beautiful smile spread across her face. “Yes, Sir, thank you for asking first. May I look at your drawings?”

“If you’re my good little pet, I may allow it.” I could have easily taken out my sketchbook and shown her the twenty-some-odd drawings that I already had of her, but sharing my work wasn’t something I did often.

Thankfully, Ivan came in to get her for her training, interrupting her focus.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll go change really quick. Alek, was that all?”

“Yes, go on now. Get your workout done. I need you rested for this evening.”

Aleksandr

Do It, Blade

No sooner had she left than my phone rang. It was Nik, and from the tone in his voice, I knew it wasn’t good. He and Jason had made the trip to Skagit County to check out the cabin.
