Surrender: Tales of Submission (10 page)

Love, Cliff

"
A little off track? There is nothing little about this situation." Relieved to know that her brother was okay, Carli decided to show the message to Aidan.

inside the door, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the

darkness. When she could see, she glanced over at the bed to find it empty.

Huh
.
Must have decided to sleep on the couch.

She turned and headed for the living room.

Standing at the foot of the empty couch, she wondered

where he went. He'd been adamant about not leaving her

alone, so she suspected he hadn't gone far.

She headed for the balcony to get a quick look around

the outside property. At three a.m., there shouldn't have been any activity out there. She expected to see him

strolling the grounds. Padding quietly over to the railing, she peered over the lawn. She turned with a start when

someone touched her arm.

"Holy shit, give me a heart attack, why don't you?"

He stood transfixed, studying her intently. His gaze

left her eyes and traveled along her shoulders and down to her breasts. Her nipples hardened to tight points under his scrutiny. Her breath quickened. A few moments later, his eyes traveled down her flat, tanned belly to her bare

mound, which had already moistened under his perusal.

"An exhibitionist now, I see." His hands trembled slightly as he brushed her wild curls from her cheek.

"I expected to find you asleep, not out here hiding on the balcony," she answered over her racing pulse. Her words were hurried.

"Couldn't sleep. Hard to let go when you drop a bomb like that on me." His husky voice betrayed some of his feelings, despite the regret in his eyes.

She held up the cell phone so he noticed it, rather than her body. "I came to show you this."

"What is it?" He took the offered phone from her hand, expecting her to say she got a call from her brother.

"Cliff just sent me a text message, and I thought you would want to see it." She pressed the button, and a message time-stamped just minutes ago scrolled across the screen.

His features turned grim as he read the message

illuminated on the cell. It might not have given him the information he needed to complete his mission, but it did give her a measure of relief. Her brother was in control of the situation, just as she had expected, and more than

likely, in a few days, he would show up at her doorstep as if nothing ever happened.

"Is this it?" He held out the phone to her, questioning.

"Is this the only reason you came out here to see me?

Because this could have waited until morning and doesn't really explain why you're standing there nude." He came close, looking down at her for an answer.

Biting her lip, she looked away.

SURRENDER

"Carli, why did you leave me, baby? I know there's more to it than you just weren't ready to settle down until you saw the world. We could have traveled together." A small hitch in his voice surprised her.

She shook her head in denial; even now she feared his

rejection. He stilled her movements by gently taking her head in his hands, brushing his lips against her mouth. He kissed her surprisingly gently, considering how frustrated she knew him to be. His tenderness sparked the flame low in her belly, and she was quickly engulfed with desire.

Hungrily, she kissed him back, covering his mouth with

hers. Forcing her tongue inside his mouth, she devoured him in one swift move.

Wrenching his mouth free, he released her. "Carli, I have to know. Being here with you again has brought

forward all the memories of what your leaving did to me.

If you have any hope of us moving past this, you have to tell me the truth. Nothing short will do." His magnetic and compelling eyes burned into hers, demanding the truth

from her.

She pulled back, wishing now she'd put on a robe. She

was already bare to him physically, and now he wanted

her to bare herself emotionally to him and risk his

rejection. If he rejected her, she wasn't sure if she would recover. Icy fear wrapped itself around her heart at the thought of him walking out the door, never to return.

"Does this have something to do with the things I

found in your nightstand drawer?"

She coughed.

How did she tell the man she loved that all her sexual

desires ran to the dark and painful without scaring him off? That the rough punishment he thought he'd given her in the kitchen was just a taste of what she needed from him? What she wanted. What she desired. She had learned through many adventurous nights that only a small

percentage of men wanted to walk the fine line of her

desires. They were either too much like Boy Scouts to

provide the sexual domination she craved or were just

plain mean and cared nothing for her pleasure, only her pain.

"You don't understand," she choked out over the lump in her throat.

"Then tell me. You might be surprised at my reaction.

I'm no longer the scrawny kid you left behind."

Carli searched anxiously for the meaning of his words

as he caressed her shoulder. His touch was soothing and warm. "I'm a hardened man who has experienced an

adventurous life so far. Nothing you say could shock me."

Carli shook with anticipation as well as a good dose of fear.

"Aidan, when I was nineteen, I didn't understand

what I needed and definitely couldn't tell you. How does one kid tell another that she craved sexual domination

with a healthy dose of pain? That the sex we engaged in wasn't rough enough?"

She turned away, afraid to look at his eyes, knowing

that his revulsion would be evident despite his words.

She'd come this far. She might as well keep going. She took a deep breath and continued.

"It's more than me just dipping my toe into

adventurous sex now and again. This is a lifestyle for me.

Something I need. The one aspect of my life where I can let go and give up control to another."

"Was that really so hard, baby? I already suspected the depth of your need, just based on your reactions to me

today. But more than anything, I needed to hear you say it.

You needed to say it." He slid his hand down her back, cupping her ass. "When you came back for me, what were you going to do? Tell me what you wanted, or go on as if it was never quite enough to satisfy you?"

"I couldn't have told you then; I was still too scared. I didn't understand what was wrong with me."

SURRENDER

He let go of her ass and delivered a stinging blow to

one cheek with his flat palm. "Wrong answer. We can't be together if you aren't willing to tell me the whole truth."

He spanked her bottom again, this time a little harder. The bite of pain coursed through her bottom and went straight to her pussy.

"If you continue to lie to me, I will be forced to punish you. And by the way, there's absolutely nothing wrong

with you."

Excitement surged through her veins.
Is he saying what
I think he's saying?

"Don't move. I'll be right back."

Aidan hurried through the living room to her

bedroom to gather a few tools. Tonight he would show her he was more than capable of fulfilling all of her wild

desires. Hell, his desires, too. It had always been more important to him to control his woman's pleasure, thereby heightening both of their orgasms. But more importantly, it was the gift of submission that he treasured above all else. Knowing that a sub trusted him to give them both

what they needed and wanted fueled his control. The

problem for him had always been that the one and only

woman he ever truly wanted to control was the one

woman he thought he couldn't.

Until now.

Now, she waited for him on the balcony with her lush

body bared to all, just waiting for him to make his

demands. He shuddered as a shiver of anticipation

traveled down his spine, his dick so hard he thought it might burst. He had never wanted a woman as much as he

wanted her.

Tonight he would bring her to such heights of

pleasure there would be no doubt how much he cared for

her.

When he returned, Carli was rooted in the same spot.

She bit the corner of her lip, showing eagerness with a touch of fear of the unknown. Good, he needed her to

wonder. With her body highlighted by the light of the

moon, the moisture on her sex glistened like the stars. The anticipation of what was coming next had begun to

prepare her body for his.

"Aidan, we should go inside. Someone might see us."

Her tongue darted, nervously moistening her lips. Oh, the ideas he had for that mouth.

"Wasn't that the idea when you came out here naked, looking for me?" He offered her a slow, wicked smile. "No, you will stay right there as I commanded." He spoke with cool authority. "I want you right here."

She watched nervously as he leaned down to the table

where he had deposited her toy bag. Reaching in, he

pulled out the soft, black, Japanese bondage rope she had purchased months ago but never had the opportunity to

use. Her eyes widened at the possibilities of what was to come next. She was so hot that the heat from her pussy

made her take a step back.

"Where are you going, Carli?” He grabbed her around the waist and roughly hauled her up against his body.

Nibbling kisses along her neck and shoulder, he delved his fingers between the juicy folds of her sex. "Ah, so wet."

She shuddered as he slipped two thick fingers in her

channel while his thumb circled her clit. As he continued his onslaught of biting her sensitive flesh and finger-fucking her, an orgasm began to build. She bucked her

hips as it drew near, urging him to bring her to

completion.

Aidan suddenly withdrew his hand from her pussy,

halting her impending eruption. Her body bucked in

protest, a whimper escaping her lips.

"You are not allowed to come yet, baby."

She moaned in disapproval, and before she realized

what he intended to do, he had bound both of her wrists with the rope and carried her over to a small table. He pushed her onto its top, and when her bare belly

connected with the cool wood, she breathed in sharply in shock. He tied both of her wrists to the legs of the table and then proceeded to strap her ankles down. She was left 86

face down with her ass and cunt at the perfect level for his cock. When he spread her cheeks, she knew he was

inspecting the tight hole he had fingered earlier.

"You want me to fuck you in the ass, don't you, baby?"

She didn't answer. She couldn't. Her heart was

thumping so wildly her lungs tightened in response. It was all she could do to take in air.

"Soon, very soon, I will have my dick in your ass so deep you will beg for mercy."

He walked around to the front of the table. When she

looked up, she was in perfect alignment with his crotch.

He unbuttoned the tight jeans, and it sprang free, bobbing an inch from her lips.

She opened her mouth, eagerly awaiting his

permission to taste him. He pushed forward just enough to bring the deep plum-colored head flush against her lips.

The velvety smooth skin was so hot she needed to touch

him. Wanted to grip his cock and force it in her mouth. She struggled with her bonds. She was completely helpless

and would have to wait until he gave her permission to do as he pleased.

A rumble sounded in his chest as he chuckled over her

ineffective attempts. He stepped back a few inches, taking himself in hand. Watching him pump his own shaft while

she watched just out of reach was agonizing. Her heartbeat pulsed in her clit as she thought she might come from the beautiful sight before her. When a pearl of liquid appeared on the tip, a strangled moan sounded in her throat.

"What, Carli? Did you say something?"

She shook her head.

"Tell me, baby. Tell me what you need."

His pace quickened on his cock as she gave in to his

mastery. Her final doubts dissipated as her thoughts were consumed with sensations and a warm glow throughout

her.

"Please, Aidan, please let me taste it. Let me have your 87

cock. Please." His hands stilled as he leaned forward.

"Lick it with your tongue. Swirl it around the head."

She immediately complied, laving the tip of his cock

with fervor. Tasting the salty pre-come dripping from his slit. He growled with pleasure and pumped his hips,

sliding his cock into her mouth. She suckled him deeply as she continued flickering her tongue along the length of his hot member.

Pushing his hips closer to her mouth, he forced her to

take his entire length to the back of her throat. As he slid his cock out, she gently scraped him with her teeth. He rewarded her by sinking his entire length in and out. Her body writhed on the table as she frantically searched for a way to rub her own clit against the hard surface. The blood rushing through the veins of his cock pulsed against her tongue. His orgasm neared, but instead of filling her

mouth with his hot semen as she hoped, he abruptly

pulled out.

"Aidan, please—please fuck me, now!"

Her body was on fire as she fought with her restraints.

Helpless to ease the ache in her pussy. Moving around the table, he positioned the head of his cock against the lips of her cunt.
