HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION (An Erotic Billionaire Romance) novel Chapter 164

Meadow’s POV:

My lips parted, but no sound came out. Alaric cocked a brow, waiting for my response. The look in his eyes dared me to refuse. To back down.

But I didn’t.

I wouldn’t.

I could take it, and I was going to take it.

Alaric’s fingers brushed over the side of my wrist right before he fastened the second cuff, lifting me a bit higher until my feet weren’t even touching the floor anymore. I was at eye-level with him now, my nipples were hard, tight against the fabric of my bra.

His gaze dropped to my boobs and back to my eyes. “I’m waiting, baby.”

For a second, my brows drew together in confusion, but then I remembered. He wanted me to pick a safe word. My teeth came down on my bottom lip and Alaric’s jaw clenched. He leaned in, swiping his tongue along my Lower lip and making me melt. But then, he tugged it out with his teeth, nibbling on my lip with a precision that made me want to reach for him and pull him closer.

But I couldn’t. Because my hands were tied, literally. I moaned in frustration. “This isn’t fair,” I complained when he pulled away from me, yelping as he delivered a spank to my ass.

His head tilted slightly. “Punishments aren’t meant to be fair, doe. Now, spread those legs for me or I’ll do it myself.”

My thighs rubbed together involuntarily, seeking friction of their own. Alaric’s brow went up when he noticed.

“You’re going to render me helpless?” I breathed.

“Are you complaining?” His gaze dropped to my hard nipples. “Doesn’t look like you are.”

I started to roll my eyes but the hard stare he gave me stopped me.

“The more you complain, the more you don’t get what you want,” he whispered, running a hand through my hair.

Underneath the red hue, everything about this seemed so … dangerous.

Sinful.

“Safe word, Meadow,” Alaric said. “Or I’ll give you one of my own, and I promise you, this time you won’t be able to remember what it is.” His voice was stern, but the look in his eyes let me know that he was only joking.

I decided to play along. “Give me one then,” I whispered.”

You know I love it when you speak German to me.” I let my eyes fall to his mouth and I bit down on my bottom lip again.Alaric clenched his jaw. I was being naughty again, but couldn’t help it.

Seeing him lose control over me was one thing I would never be able to get enough of.

He didn’t say another word to me, he just got on his knees and reached for one of my ankles.

And then he pulled it to one end of the cross.

“You want to be a brat,” he said calmly, and a shiver racked through my spine as I felt the padded leather cuff around my ankle. “So I’ll treat you like one.”

“Alaric-”

“Safe word, Meadow.”

I swallowed hard. Alaric pulled my other ankle and secured the second cuff, and now twas fully spread on the cross, body offered up to him like I was some sort of sacrifice. My skin heated up as he rose to his feet, slowly-very slow-dragging his dark gaze up my lace-clad body.

When his eyes met mine, his lips curved wickedly.

I sucked in a breath, but I still refused to pick a safe word.

Instead, I said: “Do your worst.”

An expression I couldn’t read flashed in his eyes. “Oh, baby,” he murmured, stepping closer to me. His tattooed arm flexed as he raised his hand, brushing it lightly against my cheek. So light that my eyelids fluttered. “You still don’t get it, do you? I’m not going to do my worst.” Hepaused, glancing to the left for a second before returning-his gaze to me. “I’m going to do just enough to make you beg for more.”

An involuntary whimper escaped my lips.

Yes, it hurt. It hurt badly. It felt like someone was pinching my nipples with so much force like they wanted to pull them from my breasts.

However, not long after, the pain began to dull down a little, and all of a sudden, my body was aware of everything. Heat pooled between my thighs and swallowed, dragging my gaze back to Alaric, who was already looking at me.

He slid his hand down my side, tugging at the waistband of my panties even as he leaned in to suck on the swell of my breasts.”Oh god…” I moaned loudly, arching my back so I could get more.

The response I got was him tearing the sides of my panties and letting them fall to the floor.

“Mmmfuck..” I whimpered as his fingers slid along and through my very wet folds almost instantly. “Alaric!” A gasp escaped my throat when his thick fingers curted inside me, nearly causing my eyes to roll behind my head.

He pulled back to stare at me, eyes darkening. “Tell me what you want.”

My brain couldn’t form a complete, coherent sentence. “-I

“I stuttered, feeling my orgasm draw nearer and nearer.

Alaric’s pace was steady enough to drive me crazy and satisfy me at the same time. I wanted to come.

God, I wanted to come.

“I want you to… I want you to make me come around your fingers,” I whimpered, shuddering when his other hand twisted one of the nipple clamps so it pinched even harder, sending a shot of electricity down to my core.

And just when I thought my orgasm was about to rip through me aggressively…

He pulled away.

Alaric. Pulled. Away.

A dark smirk pulled on the corner of his lips. “Too bad. I’m not quite ready for you to come yet.”
