As he closed the door behind him, the click of the lock sent a shiver down my spine. His dark eyes raked over my body, making my knees threaten to buckle. “Do you always tremble like this,” he murmured, his voice thick with dominance, “or is it just when I’m about to ruin you?” In a flash, he was there, pulling me against his hard heat. His lips hovered just above mine, teasing, refusing to give me what I wanted. “You belong to me, don’t you?” he growled, his fingers brushing my neck, stopping above my pulse. “Say it.” “I—” The word caught in my throat as he gripped my jaw, forcing me to meet his gaze. “No hesitation,” he snapped. “Or I’ll remind you how I punish liars.” My heart raced as he tied my wrists with his silk tie, a dangerous smirk on his lips. “You like this,” he whispered, his thumb brushing over my hard nipples. “Your body never lies.” He pushed me back on the bed, his hands roaming over my curves. His mouth followed, leaving scorching kisses down my neck, his teeth grazing my skin. “You’ll take every inch of me tonight,” he said, voice low and commanding. “And when I’m done with you, you’ll remember who you belong to.” His hand slid lower, teasing my need. “Say it,” he growled, breath hot against my skin. “Beg me, or I’ll leave you desperate.” I gasped, my body trembling from the overwhelming pleasure. His teeth grazed my ear, sending a jolt of heat through me. “Still waiting,” he murmured, his fingers slipping lower, thrusting inside me while the other circled my clit. I moaned, about to climax. “You want more, don’t you?” he growled. But in one swift motion, he pulled his fingers out, leaving me breathless and hanging on the edge. “You’ve been good to daddy, but you haven’t begged for it,” he whispered with a smirk. ———————————————————————— Allison Blackwell, the protected daughter of a successful businessman, always thought she understood her father—a prosperous businessman and a loving but emotionally distant man.
