On Your Knees
control, do you?” he continued. “You want nothing more than for me to rip off what’s left of your clothes and fuck you until you scream. Don’t you? This turns you on. You don’t want it to, but it does.” She couldn’t deny it.
    “Please stop.”
    “And you want to know why you feel this way? Because for once, you have no power. You don’t want control. You don’t want responsibility. You want to let go.” She nodded. He knew everything. If he knew this, he’d seen to the deepest part of her being. She hadn’t even told Keera about this secret resentment.
    “Say it,” he prompted.
    “I don’t want control,” she admitted.
    “Do you trust me to give you what you want?” Did she? Her eyes closed for a second before she looked directly into his eyes. He’d already taken control. He’d already gained her trust by understanding her needs and filling them. He’d patiently brought her to this unbelievably dark place in herself and he hadn’t fallen on her like a ravening beast though judging from the enormous bulge in his pants he really wanted to.
    There was no question. Her words would only give him permission. “Yes.” His lips turned up ever so slightly. “Then give me what I want.” She hesitated, momentarily unsure. Suddenly, she stood looking over a narrow precipice. She could jump over to the other side and risk dire consequences or she could dance away and pretend this had never happened.

    She could give him control tonight or walk away and forever wonder.
    “You’re in complete control,” she whispered.
    “Master,” he prompted. He reached in his pocket and withdrew a key.
    She swallowed. “Master.”
    Reaching above their heads, he unlocked the shackles and pulled her tight to him when she would have fallen. Her arms screamed as blood rushed back into them.
    Weakly, she leaned on his strength. His fierce heartbeat thudded rapidly against her breast, revealing she wasn’t the only one excited by their play. He pushed her shirt from her shoulders and it fluttered to the floor leaving her naked in his embrace. He pulled back slightly, his gaze again looking deep inside her and connecting to her with complete knowledge of her desires.
    “On. Your. Knees.”

Chapter Two
    Jessica looked up at him in surprise. Was he joking? Kneel? She’d said she’d give him control but kneel before him? She was reasonably sure she could walk, perhaps even run, now that the effects of the gel had dissipated. This was her opportunity to make a break for it.
    And miss one of the most intriguing experiences in her life.
    He didn’t say a word. His scowl darkening, he waited for her to make her decision.
    He seemed to know so much about her. He likely knew exactly what was going through her head right now. He was probably poised to pounce on her when she bolted.
    She wouldn’t. He made her feel safe in a way she never had before. What had he said? He wouldn’t betray her?
    He was right. She wanted this. She wanted him to have control.
    “Jessica?” he prompted, his voice dangerously soft.
    Her head bowed, she sank to her knees before him. Whatever happened, good or bad, her decision had already been made. She’d given over control. She had to follow through.
    He didn’t step away and her breasts pressed to his powerful thighs. She didn’t mind the view from here, she thought studying him through her lashes. Her eyes were level with his protruding, strained fly. He wanted her, possibly as badly as she wanted him. If that was true, when they finally came together, they’d crash against each other in desperation. It would be wild, out-of-control sex.
    She hoped he hurried.
    “Hands behind your back,” he instructed.

    She nodded although she wasn’t sure she could do as he ordered. Her arms burned and barely responded to her brain’s orders to move. Realizing her predicament, he crouched beside her and eased her hands into position, helping
