The way she rattled those excuses off, one would’ve thought she kept a reference book of how to absolve oneself of liability in her back pocket. She didn’t even stop for a breath. A look of worry and discomfort is written all over her face, and for some reason, it entertains me. Feeling her pert round ass as she shifts nervously over my cock is beginning to arouse me. Even though she’s come clean, my sadistic side still wants to punish her. Honesty should be rewarded, but her actions do require a consequence; otherwise she will always try to run roughshod over me every chance she gets.
“And whose decision is that supposed to be, you know...about your welfare and your body?” I ask condescendingly.
She swallows hard and her eyes shift downward as she hesitates to answer me. “Yours, Sir.” At this point, it’s becoming painfully clear; she’s trying her hand at placating me. She doesn’t believe one iota of what she’s telling me.
“You do realize I don’t believe for a second you’re being sincere with me, right?” The palm of my hand cups her precious cheek as I graze my thumb over her cheekbone. I love holding her face so close to mine. I could get lost in her animated deep blues forever. “I plan on fixing your indiscretions, starting tonight,” dusting my lips across hers, I whisper, “and every night hereafter.” I slip my tongue into her open mouth, touching the tip of it with hers, and immediately an electrical current races through me.
Just as I go to deepen the kiss, she interrupts me, asking, “Wh-what are you going to do?” She breathes nervously over my lips, the smell of her wine cascading over my senses.
“Mmm, I think we will start off with a double dose of reality this evening,” I seductively whisper as I tighten my grip on her hips, shifting her ass so her hips move in minuscule movements back and forth over my cock. As her ass rubs me, the friction causes me to grow harder. The beast is awake, and I’m so ready to fuck her.
“Why can’t we just enjoy the evening like we have been? What makes you think I even need the Blyss? Do you think it’s impossible for what I’m feeling to be real, Nick?” she questions nervously. She’s grasping at straws, wanting to avoid the Blyss but too damn bad; she’s not talking me out of it.
I drop my voice an octave. “Because I know you, Princess, I know all too well your fight, your drive, and your determination. I remember your words from the first day I had you in my facility. You told me…” I arch my brow thoughtfully. “You’ve played me for a fool, and that’s why you’ve been nervous the entire evening. I must give you credit, however; you had me believing...while it lasted anyway.” A cold snicker escapes me, and I shake my head in disbelief. “You should have been an actress, sweetheart. What a damn stellar performance the entire evening has been.”
“I...I wasn’t acting, Nick. I...am acquiring feelings for you,” she stutters.
“Now see that? That is exactly what gets me all fired up. You may be a dynamic actress, but you’re a bad liar.” I can hear the indignation in my voice. “If there’s one thing I despise from you, it’s lying. I won’t be played a fool.” My jaw clenches and my eyes narrow, but I choose to speak softly, my anger belying my tone. “I know what you’re thinking—how can I be so perceptive? Allow me to let you in on a little secret; I didn’t get to be where I am today without my intuition and visceral perceptions of the human mind.”
“No, Nick, you’re wrong,” she rebukes.
“Oh?” Both brows rise in surprise at her sheer audacity. “I’m wrong? Well then, do enlighten me. Tell me another lie; it will only serve to increase the punishment I have for you. I’m keeping score, by the way, but if you feel you have enough balls to further play the game, by all means, go ahead.” My voice grows colder by the minute, and I wonder just how far she’s going to push me before I snap. I’m beginning to think she likes getting a rise out of me, pushing me to the brink.
“Please, I don’t want the Blyss. I will do whatever you want; just don’t give me those drugs, especially not twice the dose. Please,” she begs.
“Interesting observation I’ve just had, Julianna. Tell me something. I would like to know how you just went from arguing about your feelings for me, to bartering over the Blyss, all in the same breath.” She opens her mouth to argue, but I cut her off. “Nice try, but you don’t get to control the shots here.” I’ve heard enough excuses. Cocking my head to the side, I grind out through clenched teeth, “I thought we established the rules from day one, or did you forget I own you?”
