He pulled her into his arms, the expression on her face
raising every protective instinct within him. She’d never admit it, but she was
afraid. She hid it well, but it was still there in her eyes.

The warmth of her body seeped through his clothes, hardening
his cock, and he let out a ragged sigh as he held her tight, fighting against
his body’s desperate need to claim her.

“Katherine, you know if I get in that bed with you, I’ll do
more than just hold you.”

She leaned back, her eyes flashing with a challenge that was
dangerous for a man of his nature. “And what if I want you to do more than just
hold me?”

He bit back a groan at her softly spoken question. “You have
no idea what you’re asking.”

Her gaze never wavered. “What if I told you I know exactly
what I want and what I’m asking for?”

“After everything you’ve been through tonight.” He shook his
head firmly. “The last thing I want to do is hurt you, scare you—”

She frowned. “I trust you with my life,” she whispered
softly, “I know you would never hurt me. I could never fear you.”

She had such faith in him, a trust that he refused to
betray. What if he took her and he hurt her, scared her? What if—

“What are you so afraid of, Seth?”

He sighed. The desires of his body beat against him,
demanding he claim this woman. But his sense of reason, logic, held him back.

“If you truly know about me and Joshua then you know what I
want from a woman when I make love to her. If I take you, Katherine, I will
have your full surrender, and nothing less.”

Of all the reactions he’d anticipated, he’d certainly never
expected her eyes to twinkle with mischief and a grin to curl her lovely lips.

“Oh, I get it, you’re afraid I won’t submit to you?” Her eyes
flashed with defiance and he knew her next words would seal their fates. “I
never would have expected that from you. After all, what type of Dom
are
you if you can’t make your woman obey?”

Chapter Four

Katherine had baited Seth on purpose, but it had been a
high-stakes gamble because she had no idea if he would take the bait or leave
her high and dry. But then again, she was the owner and CEO of a Las Vegas
casino, high-stakes gamble should be her middle name.

Seth’s eyes flashed from gold to silver beneath the sliver
of moonlight that peeked through the curtains, and her heart stuttered in her
chest at the deep gravel of his voice when he spoke. “You’ve pushed me too far,
Katherine. I’m done with your games,” he warned as he stripped off his shirt and
pulled his belt from the loops of his pants.

“If this is what you want, then I will give it to you, but
when this is over, remember that I warned you.” He stepped behind her. “On your
knees, right now, and put your hands behind your back.”

A fresh wave of juice flooded her pussy at his command, but
she hesitated. She ached to experience Seth’s mastery over her body, but what
if she didn’t enjoy it, what if—

“I said get on your knees, Katherine,” Seth whispered from
behind her, his warm breath fanning her neck.

She’d blatantly taunted Seth, and more than once. She
reasoned the time for reservations had long passed. On wobbly legs, she slowly
lowered herself to the floor with her hands behind her back. He took her wrists
in his calloused hands and easily secured them with his belt. When he was done
he stood to admire his work.

She shivered as she watched him watch her. In many ways, he
was still the Seth she knew, stoic and unflappable, but there was also another
man present who she’d met only once before. That Seth was full of arrogance, a
sexual confidence that came from knowing when he made love to a woman, he
pleasured her fully, he mastered her and claimed her completely. Her nipples
tightened and her breasts throbbed at the thought that the man before her would
see to her complete satisfaction, although she knew he would also take his
pleasure from her body until she had nothing left, and yet still, he would take
more.

She yelped in surprise when he ripped her nightgown from
her, leaving her completely naked before him and his hungry gaze.

He undid his pants, pulling out the thick hard length of his
swollen cock. She whispered his name just as he came to a stop before her, but
he shook his head.

“You are not to speak unless I tell you. You are not to come
unless I tell you. And when I do give you permission to speak, you are to call
me
Master
, is that understood?”

“Yes—” She stopped at the frown on his face, realizing he
hadn’t given her permission to speak. Instead, she nodded, which earned her a
smile.

“You’ve always been a quick learner.” He cupped the back of
her head with one hand, the other curling around his thick flesh. “Now open
your mouth and show me what other lessons you’ve learned.”

Katherine had wanted this, waited for this, yearned for it
for so long until her fantasies of Seth dominating her had dominated her
dreams. Apprehension still pulsed through her, a small fear of the unknown, of
what was to come, but her desire was stronger than it all.

With a soft sigh, she parted her lips, her eyes closing as
he fed her the full, thick length of his cock. She swirled her tongue around
him, earning a harsh groan from Seth. Her head bobbed back and forth, taking
him all the way inside her, to the back of her throat. He tasted of sweat and
all man and she licked him eagerly, inhaling the musk of his arousal until it
filled her lungs. She sucked him harder, deeper, her lips wrapping tightly
around his thrusting cock.

He drew in a sharp breath, his shaft twitching inside her
mouth. Precum beaded on her tongue and she eagerly licked it from him,
swallowing the tiny drop, her greedy mouth begging for more.

“Shit, Katherine,” he groaned out, low and deep.

Seth’s hand in her hair shook, and for just a moment she
savored her feminine power over him. Her pussy throbbed, the wetness between
her thighs making her needy. She longed to touch herself, to ease the dull ache
at the center of her core, but with her hands bound she was helpless,
powerless, completely at his mercy. She whimpered as heat crawled inside her belly,
clawing at her.

“You want my cock inside you, don’t you?” Seth murmured, his
voice low and husky, tinged with desire. “You want me to thrust deep inside
your pussy.”

His words struck a chord inside her and she moaned around
his cock, sucking harder at his hot, thick length, but before she could stroke
her mouth down his shaft another time, he wrenched his cock from between her
lips and lifted her.

He undid the belt only to move her arms to the front of her
body and secure the leather strap around her wrists.

“Lean over the edge of the bed with your arms stretched
out,” he whispered close to her ear as he nudged her toward the bed.

With her hands bound, she bent at the waist, leaned over the
bed and stretched her arms toward the headboard.

He pulled away for just a second and she heard the ripping
of a foil wrapper as he tore open a condom and then silence while he sheathed
himself. A shudder of anticipation raced through her, her body quivering when
he caressed the palm of his hand across her naked flesh.

“Spread your legs,” he commanded, his tone low and raspy.
She parted her legs, yelping when his hand struck her backside. “Wider.”

She spread her legs wider, a soft gasp tumbling from her
lips when the tip of his cock nudged against her dripping slit. She moaned as
the throbbing pulse of desire beat through her. She longed to call his name but
held her tongue, for he hadn’t given her permission to speak.

When the head of his cock pushed inside she closed her eyes,
savoring the sweet rush of pleasure, only to let out a whimper when he
retreated. With each stroke, he fed her more of his thick, ruddy shaft, only to
pull all the way out. When he finally slammed home, she was panting wildly, her
cunt dripping wet.

“Fuck, Katherine,” he groaned, his thrusts coming swift and
hard, “Your pussy feels so good wrapped around my dick.” He leaned over her,
drilling her mercilessly. “I always knew you would feel like this—so tight, so
wet,” he panted against her skin.

She couldn’t help it, the pleasure of him fucking her with
such deep, powerful thrusts overrode her sanity. She screamed his name, unable
to stop herself, crying out in frustration when he stopped.

“Do I need to remind you of my commands? You are not to
speak and you are not to come, not until I tell you. Understood?”

She nodded with a whimper. “Yes, Master.”

He began to move within her again. “Good girl,” he
whispered, quickening his pace as he drove inside her with deep, punishing
strokes.

The sweet musk of sweat and sex drenched the room and clung
to their bodies like a second skin. Katherine curled her fingers into the bed,
dragging the scent of their lovemaking deep within her lungs.

Her pussy was a sopping wet mess as her juices trickled down
her thighs. She gritted her teeth, her body tensing, as she fought to tamp down
the rising tide of her climax.

Seth pummeled her cunt from behind so hard the headboard
bounced against the wall, so deep that she could feel him brush against her
cervix. His breaths were choppy, stilted, and deep guttural groans poured from
his lips with each brutal thrust. He was close and she prayed he would come
before she did because already she could feel the sweet haze of euphoric bliss
building within her.

“That’s it, Katherine,” he breathed, the blunt nails of his
fingers digging into her flesh as he gripped her hips tighter, dragging her
back roughly to impale her on his thick shaft with each thrust. “That’s it,
baby, hold back your orgasm.” He pumped inside her faster, his strokes shallow.
“Wait for it,” he commanded and leaned over her, his bare chest sticking to her
sweat-soaked back.

His weight was heavy against her back, pressing her torso
deeper into the bed, and he rested his palms on either side of her head. The
slight shift in position left her spread wider and he went deeper, hitting the
back of her pussy which each thrust.

She couldn’t do it—she couldn’t fight it anymore. She shook
her head from side to side as her sheath began to spasm.

He slammed into her once, twice, three times and then
stiffened with a loud roar. “Now, Katherine. Come for me now.”

He’d barely finished the sentence before she exploded, her
entire body quivering as wave after wave of pleasure assaulted her. Her cunt
clamped down tight around his cock, now buried deep within her. She moaned as
hot spurts of his semen filled the condom that separated them and she drenched
his pulsing length with her juices. Their orgasms powered through them, shaking
them to the core, leaving them limp with exhaustion and breathless.

They lay there for what seemed like hours, neither one
moving until their breathing evened and their heartbeats quieted. Seth pulled
out of her slowly, simultaneous groans spilling from their lips.

Shedding his pants, which were bunched at his ankles, he
moved to Katherine and unfastened his belt from around her wrists. Pulling back
the covers, he tugged her into his arms and together they lay down.

She burrowed deep within the circle of his embrace, closing
her eyes as the warmth of him surrounded her. He held her tenderly, lovingly
even, which was so at odds to his rough lovemaking and the spanking he’d given
her at work. Yet for Seth, it wasn’t. He was soft, yet hard, aggressive, yet
patient. He was a dichotomy of sorts, a conundrum, which was why she’d always
been drawn to him but could never let him past her walls. She just couldn’t
figure him out, not completely.

“Go to sleep.”

She opened her eyes to see him staring at her with a small
smile, which she returned when he cupped her cheek.

“I can almost hear the wheels turning in your head. Go to
sleep,” he repeated.

“Is that a command?” she asked jokingly.

He chuckled. “No, but I will make it one if you don’t relax
and go to sleep.” He kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes.

He didn’t have to command her to fall asleep, the day’s
events had finally caught up to her and the exhaustion was now setting in. Yet
she couldn’t resist getting the last word in as she murmured sleepily, “Well,
it sounds like a command to me.”

After that, she heard nothing else, as she soon did exactly
what he’d demanded she do and fell fast asleep.

* * * * *

Katherine bit back a small yawn as she slowly opened her
eyes, blinking at the bright rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains.
She cursed, realizing if the sun was already up then she was late for work. She
instantly awakened fully, but then cursed again when she tried to sit up and
couldn’t.

She glanced up at her wrists, which were bound to the head
of the bed, a frown crossing her face as she looked around the room, her gaze
searching until it finally landed on a darkened figure in the corner.

Her heart fluttered in her chest and her belly instantly
tightened into knots when she saw his face—his gaze hungry, predatory, full of
lust and desire.

“I wondered when you were going to finally wake up.” Seth
walked out of the shadows, his hardened, naked body drawing her attention and
holding it. Tattoos covered the length of his arms, and she knew a tapestry of
ink was splashed across his entire back, but besides the face of a tiger on his
left pec, his torso was bare, treating her to the sight of his perfectly
defined chest and rippled abs.

Every muscle in his taut and toned body seemed to flex with
each step he took toward her until he stood next to the bed, where, apparently,
she was his prisoner.

“Seth, I’m already late.” She looked up at her bound arms
then back at him. “You have to let me out of these things.”
