24 ERIC Looking down at the red sphere in her mouth, I’d had a hunch her bratty side would rebel against the gag, which had looked so f*****g hot in that pretty pink mouth of hers. My inkling had paid off. She’d spoken to me. God, I loved hearing her voice. It was familiar and still a million times better than anything I’d imagined. Now, I folded my arms behind my head and watched her sleep. Ariella’s eyelids trembled in a dream state, and she breathed softly through her nose. Her peach and cinnamon scent rose from the pillow, and the potent elixir made me grow hard again. I savored the nearness and warmth of my little siren until she woke up in my arms. I had dirty but romantic plans for today, starting as soon as she rose from sleep. It was past time to make her mine. Officially.
