Theodosia picked up the wooden piece, fisting her hand around the shaft.Her cheeks heated from the embarrassment she felt over what she was about to do, but when she glanced over at him and saw how his breathing had already turned ragged, she felt a sense of power come over her, unlike anything she’d ever felt before.She wasn’t even touching him, and she felt she had full control over the man before her.

“I’m waiting, Tess,” he drawled, his voice low with a hint of pain.

She swallowed hard, her pulse quickening in anticipation and trepidation.The wood felt cool and smooth in her hand.Slowly, she lifted it to her lips, while her gaze never wavered from Court’s.

Pressing her tongue to the tip, she then swirled it around.Court’s breath caught, and she forced herself to keep her eyes fixed on his.She sucked more of the phallus into her mouth.

“Yes,” Court ground out, shifting in his seat.

Teasing him, she ran her tongue from the base to the tip and then set the apparatus back in the box, smirking at him.

“God, I need to win this bet,” he ground out.“Forgive me for saying so.It might make me nothing more than a devil, but I want you, Tess.”

He wasn’t alone in that, but she could never admit it, or she’d lose all of her resolve.“Perhaps you have erred, Court.”

“What could you possibly mean?”

“This”—she pointed to the wooden cock—“is quite large.I’m quite certain you wouldn’t compare.”She knew enough about the male ego to know that they took great pride in their cocks.And her husband’s cock certainly wasn’t as impressive as the wooden beauty Court gifted her.

Court scoffed, then his jaw clenched.“I assure you I more than compare to that,” he said, motioning toward the box.“Besides, I do not need to compete with a piece of wood.Just give in to what we both want, and you can find out for yourself.”

She bit her bottom lip, only debating for a moment if she was going to issue her next dare.After allowing all the good sense to leave her body, she spoke.“All right then, Court.If you’re so confident in what you say, I dare you to show me.Let’s see if you speak the truth.”

“Are you serious?”

“You can forfeit the dare if you wish,” she said, smiling at him sweetly.“I wouldn’t want to make you uncomfortable.”

He chuckled.“Oh, Tess,” he started.“I have no problem showing you, but if you end the wager once you see what I have to offer, that is on you.”

Her lips formed a flat line at his male arrogance.“I’ll take my chances,” she deadpanned.She was wanton for him, but the mere sight of the man’s cock would not have that great of an effect.

“Very well.Hand me your toy there.”

She pushed the box across the table to him, biting into her bottom lip as he stood and began unbuttoning his falls.

Her eyes grew wide when his erect shaft popped out, protruding in front of him.She didn’t even need him to hold up the wooden phallus to know that Court was larger in length and girth.The man hadn’t exaggerated.

Court smirked at her reaction and then grabbed the toy and put it near his own, looking at her for approval.“I think the difference is clear, but you tell me.”

She forced herself to maintain an unaffected expression.“You appear to be truthful.”

He gave his cock a couple of strokes, and Theodosia’s core reacted immediately.Her expression faltered as well.Appearing far too pleased with himself, he tossed the toy back into the box and tucked himself into his breeches before resuming his seat.

“My turn,” he said, his eyes fixed on her, almost predatory.

She swallowed hard, a combination of trepidation and excitement for what he might dare her to do.

“I dare you,” he started, speaking the words slowly to build the anticipation, “to allow me to use the phallus on you.”

Theodosia’s mind raced with how to respond.“Court—”

He held up his hand to silence her.“I won’t touch you in any way, other than with this.”He motioned toward the box.“Think of it as guided instruction for how to use it.”

“I know where a cock goes, Court.”But that didn’t mean she wasn’t on the verge of agreeing to his dare.Besides, they both knew she wasn’t one to back down.

“Do you decline the dare?”

She shook her head before her brain could allow her to consider any other notion.“No.”
