Submission Becomes Her (4 page)

She sagged with relief. She’d been afraid he wasn’t going to spank her at all. An

extra-hard spanking was a small price to pay, and fitting punishment for what she’d done. Not to mention guaranteed to get her very, very aroused.

Gavin took her hand and led her down the small hallway to his bedroom. It was

masculine almost to the extreme, and dominated by the same huge king-size bed they’d first had sex in. Back then, though, there hadn’t been a paddle, a strap and bondage gear sitting atop the coverlet. Thinking what it would be like to be bound and totally at the mercy of a man wielding a paddle made her stomach do somersaults. Bondage was

going to be a new experience for her, and she couldn’t imagine a more perfect man to initiate her than Gavin.

“Take off your clothes, Josie,” he commanded.

Even though she’d undressed for Gavin before, something about doing it at his

order had her blushing like a virgin as she took off her top. Unclasping her bra, she slid the strap off one shoulder, then the other before letting it fall to the floor at her feet.

Gavin’s gaze caressed her bare breasts in obvious appreciation and she had to resist the urge to reach up and give her rapidly hardening nipples a squeeze.

Taking a deep breath, she unzipped her skirt and slowly wiggled it over her hips

until it joined the rest of her clothes on the floor. Extremely aware of Gavin’s eyes on her, she bent to take off her shoes, but his voice stopped her.

“Leave them on.”

She straightened up. Standing before him wearing nothing but a pair of high heels

might make her feel like the sexiest woman in the world, but the look in Gavin’s eyes made her believe she really was.

Without a word, he snaked his hand in her hair and with a firm but gentle tug,

tilted her head back. The show of dominance made her go gooey inside and she gripped the front of his shirt for support as he claimed her mouth in a scorching kiss.

“Tonight, and for every night after, you’re going to be my submissive when we’re

in this room, and I will be your master,” he rasped. “Is that understood?”

“Yes,” she panted.

“Say it,” he demanded.

“Tonight, and for every night after, I will be your submissive when we’re in this

room,” she promised. “And you will be my master.”

The words were a vow, and as she said them, Josie knew they tied her to Gavin as

completely as if they were married.

Taking her hand, he picked up one of the leather cuffs from the bed and slipped it over her wrist, tightening it so that it fit snuggly. Then he did the same with her other wrist. Her heart was beating so loudly she was sure he must be able to hear it, but he made no comment as he led her over to the foot of the bed. Turning her to face it, he put his hand on her back and bent her over the bed. She wondered if he was going to cuff her hands behind her back with the sturdy-looking hooks that were attached to the

leather. The image sent a quiver through her.

But he instructed her to put her hands above her head. She started to ask why, but remembered the vow she’d made and caught herself. She rested her cheek on the

coverlet and obediently placed her arms out in front of her on the bed. Gavin took her right wrist and slid her arm closer to the edge of the bed. A moment later, she heard a click as he attached something to the leather cuff. Or rather, attached the cuff to something on the bed. She automatically gave her wrist a tug, but it wouldn’t give. That was when she saw the strap hanging over the side of the bed. It was some kind of

restraint system, she realized as Gavin secured her other wrist to the opposite side of the bed. She gave that one a tug too, but it was just as tightly bound as the other.

“Spread your legs,” he said softly.

Josie was so busy thinking about the restraints on her wrists, she didn’t realize

Gavin had come around the bed to stand in back of her. Afraid he would think she’d forgotten her place already, she quickly spread her legs. It was only after she did that she realized just how vulnerable she was in that position, and as Gavin fit the leather cuffs around her ankles, she had to fight the urge to close her legs.

She expected him to secure them to the bed the same way he’d done with her

wrists, but instead she felt him attach something to the inside of the cuff around her right ankle. When he did the same to the cuff on the left one, she realized it was some kind of bar designed to keep her legs spread. If she’d thought she felt vulnerable before, that was nothing compared to how helpless and exposed she felt now. It had her so wet, she was practically gushing.

She sensed Gavin straighten up behind her. She automatically tensed, waiting for

him to reach for either the paddle or the leather strap—both of which were still on the bed and in view. But he only ran his hand over the curve of her ass. Then gave it a firm squeeze.

Josie let out a moan, only to gasp in surprise when Gavin lifted his hand and

delivered a sharp smack to her right cheek. It was quickly followed by another, this time on the opposite cheek. Unlike last night, he moved back and forth with a

methodical slowness. That made sense, considering they didn’t have to worry about

someone coming along and interrupting them as they had on the Riverfront. This

wasn’t going to be the quickie spanking he’d given her then, either. The mere idea that he might keep her tied up and tied down like this while he spanked her for hours on end was enough to make her come right then. She’d been on the edge of orgasm for so long, it certainly wouldn’t be difficult. Especially since she could grind her clit on the bed so easily in this position. But she wouldn’t come without Gavin giving her

permission.

So she concentrated on the spanking instead. She focused on the sting of his hand

and the heat spreading over her ass. He was smacking her harder now, the slaps

finding the tender area of her sit spots. If her legs weren’t secured to the spreader bar, she would have danced from foot to foot, but all she could do was wriggle on the bed, and even that was only as much as the cuffs around her wrists would allow. She could only imagine how she would react when Gavin used the paddle and the strap on her.

When he abruptly stopped spanking her, she thought she was about to find out, but

Gavin surprised her by massaging her freshly spanked cheeks. He’d obviously

remembered when she’d mentioned online that she wanted a dom who was as kind

and caring as he was firm.

She sighed and lifted up on her toes, pushing her ass higher in the air. Gavin

slipped his hand between her legs, gliding his fingers along the folds of her pussy.

Josie moaned.

“Does that feel good?” he asked.

“Mm-hmm.”

He circled his finger around her clit once, then twice. “I could make you come right now if I wanted to, couldn’t I?”

“Yes,” she breathed.

He chuckled, soft and sexy. “But I don’t want to. Not yet.”

She bit her lip to keep from protesting when he took his hand away. Then she saw

him reach for the paddle and all thought of begging him to keep touching her

disappeared. Of all the spanking implements out there, the paddle was definitely her favorite. This one was made of leather instead of wood, which she preferred. While she’d had guys use one on her before, she instinctively knew Gavin would be better at giving a paddling than anyone. She almost writhed on the bed waiting to find out if she was right.

Gavin didn’t keep her waiting. Instead, he brought it down on her ass with a smack that echoed in the room and left her breathless for the next one. When it came she thought she might actually have moaned with pleasure. She couldn’t be sure, though, because all she could hear was the sound of the leather smacking against her ass as he went back and forth from cheek to cheek. The rhythm was so mesmerizing she didn’t

realize he’d stopped until she felt him caressing her red-hot ass with his hand.

She caught her breath. The sting left behind from the paddle now seemed even

more intense than when he’d spanked her. Or maybe the massage he was giving her

just made it seem that way. Whatever it was, she liked it.

He delved between her spread legs with his free hand, running one finger along her pussy before sliding it deep inside and fucking her with it.

Josie inhaled sharply. She’d forgotten how good he was at doing that. And when he

did it while rubbing her ass, it was even more pleasurable. Being bound hand and foot might also have a little something to do with it. If only Gavin and she had done this the first time around.

He pulled his finger out of her pussy to focus his attention on her clit. This time, he didn’t tease her though. Instead, he made circular motions on the sensitive nub over and over. She ground against his hand, panting for breath. Just a little more of what he was doing and she would climax for sure.

To her dismay, though, he stopped, leaving her on the edge, refusing to send her

over. She whimpered.

“You weren’t about to come without my permission, were you?” he asked.

It took a moment for his question to register, and when it did, she realized how

close she’d come to disobeying him again.

“No,” she lied.

“Good. Because then I’d have to add to the punishment you already earned for

touching yourself at work today.”

That wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Then again, she thought as he picked up the

leather strap, that thing did look wicked. She’d never been strapped before, and while her pussy spasmed at the mere thought, she’d be lying if she didn’t say she was a little nervous at the same time. But she trusted Gavin completely. He would never spank her harder than she could take.

He grabbed a handful of her hair and gently tilted her head back, then held the

strap out. “Kiss it.”

She obediently pursed her lips and pressed them to the leather. It was softer and

more supple than she’d thought.

“Good girl.” Leaning over, he kissed her hard on the mouth. “This strapping is for disobeying me and touching yourself when I expressly told you not to.”

Since he already had the strap set out on the bed, he’d obviously intended to use it on her anyway, but being punished for her transgression played perfectly into her

fantasies. Something else he remembered from their online chats.

Josie held her breath, waiting expectantly for the first lash, but it didn’t come.

Thanks to the way she was tied down, she couldn’t see behind her. But she could sense him standing there, gazing at her. It made her even more aware of the fact that she was naked and on display. She squirmed on the bed, unable to help herself.

That must have been what Gavin was waiting for because a moment later, the

leather strap came down across her right cheek. The sting it left was unlike any paddle she’d ever felt, and she cried out. The leather slapped against the other cheek just as hard. She yelped again. Damn, that thing stung. But she loved it, and as he brought it down on her ass, she thought she might be in heaven. While she would always have a 30

special affinity for a good old-fashioned paddle, the strap might just be her new favorite toy.

She went up on tiptoe, lifting her ass higher, and was rewarded with another lash.

If this was her punishment for disobeying her dom’s orders, she would have to be

naughty on a regular basis.

The leather smacked her ass again, wrapping around to kiss her hip. She cried out

at the incomparable combination of pleasure and pain, yanking at the cuffs holding her captive to the bed. Thank goodness Gavin had tied her down because she wasn’t sure she’d be able to stay in position no matter how hard she tried.

Josie wasn’t sure how many times Gavin strapped her, but by the time he tossed the folded piece of leather on the bed, her ass was on fire and her pussy was screaming for his touch.

Gavin cupped a flaming ass cheek in each hand and gave them a firm squeeze.

Tingles raced through her, practically making her see stars, and she gasped as she felt him press a kiss to her red-hot derrière. The stubble on his jaw scraped against her tender skin, making her shiver, and she moaned. If he didn’t touch her pussy soon she was going to explode.

“Please,” she whimpered.

“Please, what?”

“Please touch me.”

He ran his finger along her folds. “Here?”

“Yes,” she breathed.

His finger brushed her clit. “What about here?”

She sighed. “There too.”

“Or I could just do this.”

Josie was sure that was his way of saying he was going to spank her some more, but instead, she felt his tongue on her pussy. The sensation was even more intense than usual, and she jumped. Gavin tightened his grip on her ass, holding her in place.

She clutched the coverlet in her hands, expecting to immediately go off like a

rocket. But Gavin knew exactly how to keep her on the edge without sending her over.

He glided his tongue up one fold then down the other, swirling it around her clit in between, then repeating the sequence over again.

She tugged at the cuffs, trying to grind against him, but his hold on her ass made even the slightest movement impossible, and she had to be content with taking

whatever pleasure he gave her. The knowledge that he would decide to make her

orgasm when, and only when, he chose to was a huge turn-on.

“You’re close to coming, aren’t you?” he asked, his voice husky.

“Yes!”

“I’d better stop licking your pussy then because I’m not ready for you to come just yet.”

Josie groaned. It took every ounce of willpower she possessed not to beg, and she
