It took me a few minutes before I was able to walk across my loft to the bed. My legs were still shaking and my heart had slowed to a half-decent beat. Naked, Kai sat with his back up against the headboard, the vibrator beside him.
Before I joined him, I asked, “Where were you when you called?”
He answered immediately, “In the lobby.”
“The lobby? My lobby?”
“Yes.”
“Why did you call me from the lobby?” I frowned. Why would he be in the lobby calling me?
“I wanted to see if you’d do what I asked.”
I narrowed my eyes on him, spine stiffening. “What? Why the hell would you do that?”
“A test. To see how far you’d go without me. And because I want you to learn that if you ever don’t want something, you need to tell me. That’s twice now.”
“God, you’re an asshole.” This was an arrangement for seven days, not a relationship and yet I couldn’t help but feel like it was more. “This isn’t some game. I don’t need testing and I sure as hell don’t need you telling me what to do.”
He laughed. The sound vibrated through the loft, a deep, gravelly sound that sent shivers across my skin. “I love your courage, sweetness. I’ve had few…” he paused, “… no. I’ve never had a woman speak to me as you do.” He patted the mattress. “Lie down. I want to try this on you.” He picked up the dildo.
“You’ve got to be kidding me?”
But from his relaxed expression and shrug, he wasn’t.
When he merely ran his finger down the length of the toy. I scrunched my nose to match my frown.
“I don’t want to do that.”
“Now, you’re lying,” he replied. He placed his finger in his mouth, wet it, and then ran it down the shaft of the glass. “You didn’t want to do it because you were alone. Now, you’re not.”
I shifted, putting my hand on my hip and wishing again that I had clothes on. My sex pulsed as I watched him.
“I’ll make you a deal,” he said.
“I think one deal with you is enough.”
He quirked a half-smile and lowered the dildo to the mattress. “If you’re wet, I get to use the toy. If you’re not, I’ll get you wet and fuck you with my cock.”
Jesus. It was like he had no filter, which was a total turn on.
“I know you’re wet, London. I can see your * swollen and glistening from here.” God, I hadn’t even caught him looking at my sex. “I would never make you do anything you didn’t want to.”
I thought about it for a second. It was a dildo and probably not cold anymore. I wasn’t that much of a prude, was I?
“Fine.”
“Good.” He nodded to the mattress and I knelt on it. A little self-conscious, I was uncertain what to do. “Thought it could end,” he said, shaking his head while watching me, piercing green eyes intense. “It can’t.”
I was uncertain what he meant, but when I opened my mouth to ask, he said, “Lie down. Do exactly as I told you on the phone.” He held out the vibrator to me.
“What?” I tried to sit up, but he put his hand on my neck and kept me down. “Kai. I thought… I thought you were going to do it.”
“Now that would be too easy. Let’s see how brave you are.” He went to the end of the bed and came to his feet, then walked over to the dresser and leaned up against it. I could barely see him in the shadows, but what was clearly visible were his green eyes and they were focused on me. It was disconcerting having him watch me because, like it or not, I wanted him to see that I was brave.
“Pick it up, London.”
I glanced at the dildo he’d dropped between my legs. Brave. I was brave. I wasn’t afraid to try new foods. I went bungee jumping with a group of school friends from my chemistry class a few years ago. When I was picked on by a bully in eighth grade, I punched him. I was a geek, but it didn’t mean I didn’t have backbone.
Fuck it.
I grabbed the dildo, bent my knees, widened my legs and pushed it inside me.
My breath locked in my throat as the cool met the heated wetness and I closed my eyes at the strange sensation. Shit. It felt… good. I slid it out then pushed it in again. A thrill of excitement soared through me not only from what I was doing, but that his eyes were on me. Actually, that was a bigger turn on because I liked his eyes on me.
I parted my legs further, arched my back and moaned as I pushed it in and out. My sex tweaked with need and I lowered my other hand and circled my clit while I continued to push the cool dildo in and out.
“Fuck.”
He came out of the shadows and was on the bed within seconds. He grabbed the toy and threw it across the room so hard it made a dent in the drywall.
He was already wearing a condom as he slid his cock up and down between my legs once to get it wet before he pushed inside me—hard.
But I was ready for him as he ruthlessly took me. His hands grabbed my wrists and locked them down on the mattress on either side of my head. There was a wild look in his eyes as he hovered above me thrusting with his hips. His lips pursed together, brows lowered as if he was angry.
