I do, too. It explains how I feel right now. How I'm itching with excitement at this exchange between us. What does she have planned? And will I be able to keep control of myself the entire time? Or am I going to spill in my trou the moment she allows me to touch her?

Entirely possible. But I'm not going to tell her that. I keep my tone cool. "Did you have something in mind for my reward, then?"

"Maybe a little education, pussycat."

I hate the word "pussycat" but I like where she's going with this regardless. Education is important. "I'm listening."

She flutters her lashes. "I'll let you touch me as your reward, but there have to be some rules involved."

My cock has never been so stiff. "State your rules," I manage, voice hoarse. "I will heed all of them."

"Over my clothing, obviously." Her fingers dance around her collar, a tease all their own. "Can't give away too much at the beginning, you know?"

I do not know, but I am still listening.

"And you can only touch where I say you can touch. Anything else, and all bets are off and we end our game entirely. No grabbing. No taking a mile if I give you an inch."

I don't know of miles, but I know that if she lets me touch her, I'm doing exactly as told. My cock aches at the thought. "You are in command."

"And you're not allowed to come unless I let you." She givesme a stern look and taps a finger on my nose. "I might not be comfortable with that."

April is demanding. Yet...I appreciate it. April is establishing everything this encounter will cover, so there is no guesswork. "It will be as you ask."

April stops her pacing and wiggles a finger in front of my face. "And if you tell that idiot Skarr about this I'll kill you."

"I would not. I'm offended you think I would do such a thing." I frown. As if Skarr deserves to know anything about how April and I touch.

She shrugs. "You taters gossip more than a bunch of schoolgirls, that's all I'm saying."

"You make it sound as if you don't even like me."

"I don't. But I also don't know you." She gives me a patient look. "Does it matter if we like each other or not, pussycat? We're resonating, I gave you a task, and you did it. I gave you my word. Might as well fulfill my side of the bargain."

Her words are clinical, but I can smell the heated arousal between her thighs. She might be pretending to be unaffected, but April is turned on. She likes the thought of toying with me. She likes that she is in control.

I like it, too. I like that she's confident enough to know what she wants and what she doesn't. "I am yours to command," I tell her, and offer both of my palms, face up. "Place my hands where you like."

Her expression turns thoughtful, a smile curving her mouth. She gazes down at my spread hands and takes one in her grip. With one of her fingertips, she traces a line down the center of my palm, sending twitches down my spine and making my tail thrash in response. It's like I can feel that touch right down to my groin.

With a coy smile, April lifts her finger frommy skin, and it takes everything I have not to demand that she put it back. "Me touchingyouwill be a future prize, I think."

"Something to look forward to," I rasp. Something that will haunt my dreams tonight and every night until it happens. "Where do you want me?"

She considers this and puts a hand on my shoulder. "On your knees."

Now we're getting somewhere. I drop to my knees immediately in front of her, my head only coming up to her abdomen like this. It puts her in a position of power, and I immediately understand her need for it. April wants to remain in control. She is allowing me to caress her, but in exchange, she still needs to feel as if she is the one in charge, and the easiest way to do that is to take my power from me.

In this particular case, I am more than happy to give up all control.

"One hand behind your back," she says, voice light.

I do as she bids, my other hand still in her grip.

"You can explore me as you like, but if I tell you to stop, you stop," April says. "And remember to stay on top of the clothing."

"Of course."

She releases my hand. "I'm all yours, then."
