He succeeds in lifting my skirt, finding my thigh without preamble. Featherlight caresses track his
progress upward, nearing the space between my legs. I stiffen. He pounces, plunging a finger beneath
the gusset of my panties.
“Sí,” he croaks, inhaling the air while curling his finger in the same cruel motion. “It’s like you were
designed for me. To entice me. To challenge me. To humble me… You’ve punished me, haven’t you?”
He practically hisses the words. “Every sin. Every transgression. You’ve made me repent.”
His thumb roughly encircles me—my only warning before he plunges the tip between my folds. My

peer beneath your skin with every stroke.
I close my eyes, savoring the small nuances he can’t disguise. The low grunts interspersed with his
breaths. The pulsing heat. The thick fingers tangling in my hair, making knots and chaos in the strands.
Eyesight would only be a hindrance to him—because without it, he has no trouble sensing the secrets

“You wanted to be kept, and I’ve decided…that I’m keeping you.” He slips an arm around my waist,
wrenching me even closer.
My legs part as he muscles in between them. My knees capture his waist, holding tight—and I’ve
