“I just don’t know how to get past it, I guess.”
“I have an idea.” He drops a kiss on the corner of my mouth, feather-light. “Something to try, but only if you’re comfortable with it.”
“You do?”
“I do. Hang on.” He releases me, sliding from the bed and walking into his wardrobe. He returns a moment later with what looks like a silk tie hanging from one hand. His cock is stiff, his muscles shadowed in the faint moonlight.
My mouth is dry. I push myself up, sitting against the pillows. “You want to tie me up? Zach tried that a couple of times, and?—”
“Firstly,”—he sits down next to me, leaning in for a kiss—“I’m not going to tie you up. Unless that’s what you want me to do. And secondly,”—he leans in for another kiss—“let’s stop talking about Zach. This is about you, Jade.”
About me. The words release something deeper in me, tension leaving my body. “So what’s the tie for?”
“To blindfold you. Again, if you’re okay with it.”
“Blindfold me?” The pulse starts to beat between my legs again.
“You told me you always felt like it was a show, that you were so worried about what was going on around you that you could never properly let go. But there’s no show without an audience. So, if you can’t see me, you won’t be worried about whether or not I’m having a good time. You can just focus on your own pleasure.”
I take in a sharp breath, my nipples hardening. Fuck. That sounds like bliss. But… “Doesn’t that give you all the control, though? You can just do whatever you want.”
“I can do whateveryouwant, Jade. You guide me. Tell me where you want to be touched, and how. Sink into yourself, into your body, and take ownership. You can take the blindfold off, or tell me to stop, at any time.”
I look at him, then at the tie in his hand. “All right.”
ChapterTwenty-Four
Jade
So, this is already one of the sexiest things I’ve ever done.
Axel ties the blindfold on me, making sure it’s comfortable, not too tight. I’m on my knees in the middle of the bed, sitting back on my heels on top of the covers. My senses are heightened, the soft breeze coming in through the open door feeling like feathers brushing across my skin. My nipples are painfully hard, wetness between my legs. I feel… free.
The bed moves slightly, and I hear Axel’s voice. “I’m here, Jade. Tell me what you want.” His fingertips brush across the top of my hand, and my entire body ripples with goosebumps. Holy shit.
“Um, kiss me.” My mouth is so dry. I lick my lips. Then I feel his warm breath, his lips pressing against mine. I kiss him back, opening my mouth, sliding my tongue into his. The feeling is insane, the velvety soft heat of his mouth against mine. He doesn’t touch me anywhere else, so all I have is this one point of contact. I suck on his tongue. He groans, just a small noise, but it’s so fucking hot.
I reach for him. And accidentally brush my fingers across his stiff cock. Ooh. That feels nice. But Axel moves my hand away. “Let me touch you.” His warm breath ghosts along my lips. “Tell me where.”
Oh god. Where do I want him to touch me. Everywhere. But I take a moment to think about it, even though my breath is already coming faster, my heart pounding.
“My shoulders,” I say. “Across my collarbone, my throat.”
His hands come to my shoulders, sliding across my skin. Pleasure ripples from his touch, radiating through me. It’s as though being blindfolded has intensified my other senses, as though my nipples might explode if he doesn’t caress them soon. But at the same time I want to continue with this sensation, this gentle stroking. A pulse beats between my legs as his hands move on me, my breath getting shorter.
“My thighs,” I whisper.
His hands trail away from my shoulders, then I feel his warm fingers on my thighs. I open my legs slightly, and hear his sharp intake of breath. But he does as I ask, sliding his hands up my legs, his fingers coming close, but not close enough.
“Where else, Jade? Tell me.” His voice is deep, rougher than usual. It tingles through me. I relax with each pulse of pleasure from his touch, feeling looser by the moment.
“Come around behind me. Kiss my neck. I want to feel you against me.”
The bed moves, and then his heat is against my back. His cock is hard, pressed against my ass. His mouth comes to my neck, sliding down my skin. I moan, a little mewling sound.
“That’s it, Jade.” His voice is strained, but he still obeys me. “Let go.”
I’m so wet. I just want to tip my hips forward and let him slide into me. But that’s what the old Jade would do, the one who let things happen to her, rather than exploring what she wanted.
