Roman led me to the massive four-poster frame draped in dark silk. My breath came faster as he guided me to sit on the edge, the cool fabric sliding against my heated skin.
“Lie back.”
My body tensed, nervous energy making my movements careful as I eased myself down. I kept my eyes on Roman, tracking his every move.
“I’ll be right back.” He walked toward a small hallway. “Don’t move an inch.”
I could only nod.
He disappeared from view, leaving me alone on the bed. My eyes fixed on the ceiling, tracing patterns in the dark wood.
I wasn’t supposed to feel anything but dread and disgust, but that wasn’t the case at all.
Every part of me anticipated what was about to happen. Excitement mixed with desire and terror, all at once.
Roman returned with a black rope, thick and soft-looking, darker than midnight.
He walked up to me slowly, and I took in his body.
The jeans hugged his hips perfectly. The body-hugging short sleeve polo emphasized every line of muscle across his chest and arms. I could see the outline of his abs through the fabric.
My mouth went dry as I subtly adjusted my position on the bed without realizing it, my body responding before my mind could catch up.
My legs pressed together, seeking friction.
“Do we really have to use…”
“You consented to this.” He reminded me of my words, and right now I wished I could take them back. Or maybe I was just lying to myself.
As though Roman read my mind, he asked, “If you’ve changed your mind, you need only say the word.”
I shook my head, knowing he needed me to express consent clearly. “No,” I breathed.
Roman smirked. “Sweet tease. If this is what you want, then why are you running?”
“I’m not.”
He chuckled, the sound rich and dark. His strong hands wrapped around my ankles and slid me toward him in one smooth motion.

Shivers raced through me. My whole body trembled. A soft gasp escaped my lips.

He brushed hair away from my face, his fingers lingering. My body reacted instantly, skin heating under his touch. His fingers brushed my cheek.
“Let’s find out if your body agrees with what your mouth just declared minutes ago.”
My body tingled all over. “I’m sure it does.” My voice came out breathy, barely recognizable.
His eyes fixed on me, intense. “Take off your shirt.”
“I thought you would,” I replied, stalling.
“I want to watch.” His gaze burned into me. “Do it slowly.”
My hands moved to the bottom button of the cashmere top.
My fingers trembled slightly as I worked each button free, one by one.
The fabric parted, revealing skin inch by inch. The air hit my stomach, my ribs, the valley between my breasts. I shrugged it off my shoulders and tossed it to the floor.
I couldn’t keep my breathing steady. His eyes tracked every movement, devouring every detail. The way he looked at me made my skin burn.
Roman’s eyes glinted wickedly, his grin mocking. “Stretch out your hand.”
I hesitated, my pulse racing.
He shot me a glare that left no room for defiance.
I immediately obeyed, my hands stretching to meet his. He held my wrist, then began caressing the delicate skin there. His thumb traced circles over my pulse point. The touch was electric.
“Your wrist is tender.” His fingers continued their exploration, mapping the bones and the veins beneath translucent skin. “Did you know the wrist is a pressure point?”
I shook my head. “I guess.”
His fingers found my pulse, pressing gently. “I can tell everything about you from right here. How fast your heart is beating. How turned on you are.”
He pressed harder, and I gasped. Right there. Heat shot through me, radiating from that single point of contact up my arm and straight to my core.
Roman looked smug. “Right there. It might take some time to find these spots, but once you do…” He pressed again, and I whimpered. “Your body remembers.”
My body arched involuntarily, but I hated the smug look on his face. “You were just lucky.”
He smirked. “It has nothing to do with luck. Experience and patience, Anna.” He held both my wrists now,

engaging my attention as he began binding them with the rope. The texture was softer than I expected, “What are the major pleasure points of the body?”
He looped the rope carefully around my wrists. The binding felt intimate rather than threatening.
I swallowed hard. “I… um… the neck.” I paused, my face heating. “And between the legs.”
“Those are common.” He tightened a knot, and the rope pressed against my skin. Not painful, but present. Impossible to ignore. “But there are others. Places most people never think about.”
I frowned. “I don’t believe you.”
His eyebrow raised. “No?”
“No. Those are the only real ones.”
“You think I’m lying?” He sounded amused.
“I think you’re exaggerating.”
“Let me educate you then.” His voice dropped lower, rougher. He continued binding as he spoke. “The inner wrist, where I just had my fingers. Behind the knee. The arch of the foot.”
He paused, tightening another section of rope.
I gasped as it pressed against my pulse. “The small of the back, right above the tailbone. The hollow of the collarbone.”
Another knot drew another gasp from me. “The inner elbow. The space behind your ear. The curve where your thigh meets your hip.”
My breathing quickened. The way he described each spot made my body ache with need.
“And here’s what most people don’t understand.”
He leaned closer, his breath hot against my ear. “With the right touch, the right pressure, the right timing… His fingers traced down my inner arm as he secured the final knot. “Any of these can make you come without me ever touching your pussy.”
The crude word from his mouth sent heat flooding through me. My thighs pressed together hard.
“That’s…” I struggled to form words. “That’s not possible.”
“You don’t believe me?” His smirk widened. “Good. I love proving you wrong.”
He tightened the last knot and asked, “How does it feel?”
I stuttered. “It’s alright.”
“Is it too tight?” He pulled on the rope, testing it, and I winced from the sting. But it felt delicious. Heat surged through me, and I enjoyed each tug more than I should have.
