Page 60 of Darkness I Become
“So, your submission is just for me,” he continued, with a suggestive smile. “And that feels pretty special.”
Her flush deepened, but this time with pleasure. It felt special to her, too, to share herself with him in a way she hadn’t with anyone else before. To let go of her inhibitions and seek pleasure for herself.
“I’m…curious about something,” Asha said awkwardly, hesitating. Cade lifted her hand to his lips, kissing along her palm. “You said last night that…that pain could be a tool to enhance pleasure.”
“Mm,” he replied, his lips moving down her hand. “When used the right way, pain can make your pleasure stronger—more potent.”
She shuddered as the tip of his tongue grazed the soft underside of her wrist.
“Did you want to explore that?”
He was right about submission making me feel freer.She was choosing to trust that he’d be right about this, too.
She hesitated again, but ultimately answered, “Yes.”
His pupils dilated with arousal, but he exhaled slowly. “Are you sure, darling? You don’t think it’ll bring up…bad memories? I don’t want you to do it because you think it’s what I want. I’m happy to have you in whatever way I can.”
His words touched her heart. He really cared.
“I’m sure,” Asha said. “I want this with you.”
Cade lips curved into a small smile that felt equal parts seductive and dangerous.
“I’ll start slow,” he murmured against her skin. “If you need me to stop, use the safeword ‘red.’ Everything stops when you use it, no matter what. Understood?”
Asha nodded, desire blooming deep in her core. Cade kissed her again, deeper this time, and the effect it had on her was drugging. She clung to him, pressing herself against his warm, hard body. His arms closed around her, and one hand twisted into her dark hair. He gave it a harsh tug, pulling her head back, and she gave a small gasp at the slight sting as his mouth moved to her neck.
“Ah, you’re so soft,” Cade breathed against the delicate skin of her throat. “So beautiful. So ready to submit to me, hmm?”
He spread open-mouthed kisses down her neck, and his tongue darted out, teasing her skin, distracting her. His quick, sharp bite made her squeal in surprise more than pain, but the dull sting still managed to set every nerve in her body on fire.
“When I ask you a question, I expect you to answer, my angel,” Cade growled. “Now, tell me you’re ready to submit to me. To give yourself over to me. To put me in charge of your pleasure…and your pain.”
“Yes, sir,” she gasped out without thinking, the way she did during drills, and she felt his grin against her neck.
“Sir,” he repeated with quiet delight. “Hmm. I do like that. Now, strip.”
“What?” Asha asked, still in a haze of desire. How was it possible for a few kisses and a bite to make her want him so badly?
“You heard me. Strip. Quickly. Or we’ll be introducing you to pain faster than I planned.”
His voice brimmed with both threat and dark promise. A shiver of anticipation and fear rippled down Asha’s spine. She stood and grappled with her clothes, shedding them faster than she ever had before. Somehow, her fear didn’t activate that impulse to fight that sheusually felt. Instead, it imbued her with a small, intensely pleasurable shot of adrenaline that made her pussy wet.
When she stood before him, naked as the day she was born, Cade exhaled in appreciation. Asha had never been especially self-conscious about her body, but she’d also never thought of it as anything but average. She may have been beautiful compared to most Wastelanders, who endured such hard living, but among the women of the Cave, she was just another pretty face in a sea of them.
The way Cade’s eyes scanned every inch of her skin, however, made her feel like she was the rarest, loveliest woman on the face of the Earth. Though she’d giggled at his compliments the night before, there could be no doubt from the look on his face that he’d meant them.
“All of you belongs to me,” he said, his voice a soft, menacing caress. His hands cupped her breasts, kneading at her soft, brown nipples with his thumbs. She moaned, arching up into his touch, and he gave her what she wanted. Her pussy ached from his attention, as though an invisible cord were tugging at it, attached to her nipples.
Cade stood and walked behind her, surveying every inch of her.
“Why don’t you bend over the bed, darling?”
She scoffed as she obeyed him. “I thought you were supposed to be ordering, not asking,sir.”
She couldn’t help mocking him. He made it too easy, even in bed.
Smack.She cried out at the profound sting of his hand hitting her left ass cheek, hard. He hadn’t used his full strength, yet it still hurt enough to make her squeeze her thighs together.
