will bend you over my knee and…”
Jane’s body shook, her need for orgasm was so acute it bordered on pain. She didn’t know how much more of this she’d be able to take.
“…paddle you with my hands—”
“What time is it?” she gasped.
“What?”
“Is it midnight?”
“If I say it is, will you turn into a pumpkin?” Amusement laced his words.
“Q-q-quite possibly.”
“One minute ’til midnight,” he said.
A sob was ripped from her throat as one blunt finger worked its way into her corset. He caressed her nipple, and she jerked as if she’d been hit with a bolt of lightning.
“Spend the evening with me, beauty.”
His tongue snaked out to caress the base of her neck. The touch sent a rush of heat through her body and she feared she’d burst into flames at any minute.
“Let me master you…”
His teeth grazed her shoulder.
“Taste you…”
A second finger plundered her corset to tease her other nipple. Her hips twisted, rocking forward, straining for release.
“I will seduce you…”
Her head dropped onto his shoulder, and her eyes closed.
“I will bind you to my bed. I wish to make you my most cherished slave—”
The earthy, vivid images created a series of shockwaves in her body. Arching back against him, her release was so close she could taste it. With the lightest of touches to her clit she’d explode into a million shining pieces in his arms.
“Very shortly they’ll be serving a buffet on the terrace.” His voice was thick and the accent heavier. “If you wish to become my submissive, wear this for me.”
Something touched her shoulder and she opened her eyes to see a narrow red leather collar studded with crystals.
“By wearing this you will claim me as your master and I shall claim you, body and soul.”
His lips touched her shoulder again, and she tilted her head to the side to give him better access.
“And if I don’t?” she whispered.
“Then I shall have to try harder next time.” His tone was amused.
“It’s a very tempting offer, but I don’t even know who you are.”
Jane forced her heavy gaze to the stage just as the slave had achieved orgasm. She howled like a wild creature, much to the pleasure of the crowd. Jane’s pussy wept, desperate for her own release, but it didn’t appear to be on the immediate agenda.
“I’ve awakened the dragon inside of you and he will not sleep easily,” he whispered. “I am the only man who can tame it, tame you… I am the only man who can fulfill your darkest desires.”
“I—” Words failed her.
“Say nothing now, beauty. It’s the witching hour. Midnight.”
When he released her, she felt dizzy. Her mind was crammed with the carnal images his words and touches had evoked. Gasping for breath, it took her several minutes to pull herself together after he’d left. Her gaze scanned the crowd looking for the man with the melted chocolate voice, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Disappointed, she sagged, exhausted yet her body still hummed with arousal. The intense hunger had retreated, but it was only on the back burner. It would take very little to rev up the heat again and she wasn’t sure she’d survive the fury of her release.
Clutching the collar, she raised it to her lips.
Did she have the courage to wear it? The idea intrigued her to no end. She longed to be mastered and there was no danger of emotions getting tangled up as they’d never see each other after this weekend.
She was terrified, though she wasn’t sure what scared her more, taking him up on his offer or turning him down.
Even though this was supposed to be his birthday party, Antonio wasn’t in the mood to be a host. He was on a mission to ferret out the lovely blonde’s name and to accomplish this he needed to find Lily.
Ducking out of the ballroom, he made a beeline toward the kitchen. Santos had seen them headed in this direction before the scene commenced in the ballroom. As he approached a utility closet he
