I throw my head back and laugh. “Wow, you’re feisty tonight. Don’t worry, we’ll get you laid this year. By the way, what are you doing for New Year’s?”
She shrugs. “I’ll probably visit my dad in Andarusia over the winter holiday. Why?”
“Think you could swing by Switzerland on your way back to DC? Alek and I are spending Christmas in his ski chalet this year. You should come for a few days. Maybe we can find you a hot Swiss ski instructor to teach you... other things.”
Prisha’s eyes bulge even larger behind her thick frames. “Willow! You are such a bad influence.”
I adjust the collar of my dress and throw her a smug look. “I know. So, what do you say?”
She leans back in her chair, revealing her plain dorm room. A pink and orange duvet covers her bed, and Bollywood and K-pop posters hang on the dull white wall above. “Okay, I’ll talk to my dad about heading home a few days early.”
“But maybe leave out the getting laid part,” I add.
She giggles. “Obviously.”
“We’ll turn you into a slut like me in no time.”
Something brushes along my leg, making me jump. I glance down and find Alek kneeling behind me, gliding his fingers along my calf. He’s not in the frame of my camera.
“You all right?” Prisha asks.
I turn back to the screen and try to ignore Alek’s ministrations. He’s ignored me all day, and now that I’m on the phone with Prisha, he wants me for himself? If he wasn’t covered in bruises already, I’d kick him.
I smile. “It’s just an annoying little fly— Ouch!”
Alek pinches my ass in punishment.
Prisha furrows her brows together. “Are you sure it’s not a spider biting you?”
“I’m sure.” I shift to close my legs, but Alek forces them back apart, and I drop my phone on the counter to grip the corners for balance. “Whoops.” I pick the phone back up and turn it to face me. “Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh, yeah. Chapter nineteen.” I prop my phone against a jewelry stand.
Prisha brings her Kindle in front of her face and begins to read the passage aloud, but I don’t hear a single word. Alek runs his tongue along my inner thigh, and I bite down on my tongue to keep from letting out a shuddered gasp.
When Alek slaps something cold around my wrist, I’m no longer able to remain stoic. With a gasp, I spin around and see a pair of metal handcuffs locked around my arms behind my back.
“I know,” Prisha breathes. “Isn’t it so hot? Maybe I do have a bondage kink after all.”
What the fuck?I mouth to Alek.I’m busy.
As Prisha continues to read the passage, she’s completely unaware of the fact that Alek is crouching behind me. He flips my dress over my hips, exposing my bare ass to his face, and stuffs the hem of my dress between my bound wrists to keep the fabric out of his way.
Alek licks his pointer finger and releases it with a pop that I pray Prisha doesn’t hear. When he sticks it in my ass, I lurch forward against the counter. I glance at the phone, but Prisha is too engrossed in the story to notice and keeps reading aloud.
While Alek slides his finger in and out of my ass, he uses his free hand to keep my cheeks spread wide for him. After a moment, he slips his finger out and replaces it with his tongue, which punches past my puckered hole to lick me in the most forbidden place on my body.
I lift my head from the counter. “Um... Prisha?” I manage to squeak out.
She doesn’t hear me. “Does it really feel as good as it does in books?” Prisha stares at her Kindle with knitted brows. “I can’t help but wonder if I’m being set up for disappointment.”
I swallow hard as Alek leans back, giving me a brief respite from his ministrations. “When you find the right person,” I say, “it feels incredible.”
She glances up at the screen with a shy smile. “Thanks.”
Alek stands up and comes around the counter. He picks up the phone, and when I try to grab it out of his hand, the metal handcuff digs into my wrist, reminding me that I can’t do anything to stop him.
“Oh, hi, Alek,” Prisha says. “Please tell me you didn’t just hear that. Wait, what happened to your face?”
He gives her a charming smile through the screen. “Trust me, sex is way better in real life than in a book. Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to fuck my girlfriend to remind her of that fact. Care to watch and see for yourself?”
