Master of the Inn (6 page)

“I’ve dabbled. I’ve attended play parties and used services
to hook me up with subs for a night or a weekend.”

“Did you like being with that type of woman?”

“When I was with them.” He grinned. “But to answer your
question, as much as I like to play, it’s not an arrangement I find appealing
twenty-four hours a day.”

“What do you want to do with me? I have no experience in
that lifestyle.”

“It doesn’t matter.” He cupped her chin in his hand and
pulled her to his lips. “I may have vocalized my desires last night when I had
too much to drink, but it doesn’t have to be on my terms. I want to be with
you. Us.”

He slipped his fingers between her legs and ran them along
her entrance. Every one of his touches demanded her lust for him – making her
instantly crave more.

“I don’t know how much I can handle, but I like your
Dominant side. I want you to show me.”

As he fingered her, he attacked her mouth, nipping and
sucking on her bottom lip.

She turned and got up on her knees so she could face him.
“Show me now.”

Chapter Six

Logan took the glass from her hand and set it on the
nightstand. He’d meant what he said when he told her he wanted her with or
without the games. After spending the day together, it was her he wanted, not
just her submissive side. For the first time in his life, he wanted more than
sex with a woman.

“Let’s take it slow.” He reached into the drawer by the bed
and pulled out a silk scarf. “Trust me?”

”I want to but I’ve never been tied down before.”

“Is that off the table? A hard limit, perhaps?” Logan
realized he should have prepared her for this encounter. She had never done
anything like this and she had no idea what to expect.

“Hard limit?”

“Something you won’t even consider. A soft limit is one
you’ll let me push. That’s where the trust comes in.”

She nodded.

“I want to hear you say it.” He stroked her cheek. “So there
is no misunderstanding.”

“I can trust you enough to try.”

“Good girl.” He wrapped the scarf around her eyes, tying it
behind her head. His cock ached to get inside her. He kept replaying that
amazing blowjob she given him over and over again in his mind. “If I do
something you don’t like, all you have to do is pick a word to tell me to stop
– something you wouldn’t say to me normally.”

“Why?”

“It’s called a safeword. I want to use one you’ll easily
remember. You’ve expressed concerned about being tied down. You need a safety
net and if you say that word, I’ll know you don’t want to continue.”

“Okay,” she whispered. “Will you do something I don’t like?”
Hearing the apprehension in her voice, he understood the amount of courage it
took for her to trust him.

“I’ll try not to. I realize you’re not used to any of this,
so you’ll probably want things at certain times during the scene. You are
allowed to ask permission if I allow you to talk, but I have the right to deny
any requests. That’s what your safeword is for. You never have to do anything
you truly don’t want to do.”

“Spinach.”

“What?” he asked.

“Spinach. That’s my word.”

He wrinkled his nose and then kissed her again before easing
her onto her back. “Tonight will be about exploration. I want to learn your
body.” He spread her legs apart, taking in the beautiful sight of her
glistening folds. “I wonder if I can make you come with my tongue.”

“Please.”

“Begging? I like that.” He positioned himself between her
thighs, placing one of her legs over his shoulder. “But there will be no
begging tonight. I’ll give you everything you need, cupcake.”

He kissed the inside of her thigh. “You may not touch me.”
He ran the tip of his tongue along her slit. “I want you to focus on the way I
make you feel.”

She lifted her hips off the bed urging him to take more of
her.

“I’m in control, remember?” He wasn’t cruel. He’d have to
allow her to make mistakes. His world was new to her and they hadn’t even begun
to discuss all of the rules and expectations.  

He responded by spreading her open with his fingers and
licking her with long slow swipes. Her legs tensed against his shoulders.

“Logan.” She ran her fingers through his hair.

“No touching.” He slapped her backside.

“Hey!”

“Uh, oh.” He laughed. “You may require some discipline. I
thought maybe we could skip to the good stuff on our first night, but…” He
trailed off, trying to decide how he wanted to proceed.

“No,” she said. “I’ll behave.”

“I don’t think so.” He moved away from her, reaching into
the nightstand to grab two more silk scarves. He straddled her hips. “Still
want to play?”

“What are you going to do to me?”

“Fuck you. Hard. Eventually.” He smirked. “But I see I’m
going to have to restrain you.” He watched her face for any signs of distress,
but he saw none. He took her hands and tied them together, placing them above
her head. With the second scarf he secured her to the bedpost.

Logan had played with some experienced subs before, and
while he’d found satisfaction in it, the rigors and responsibilities that came
with being a lifestyle Dom weren’t for him. That was why he hadn’t pursued a
real relationship in the lifestyle. He couldn’t be selfish and not give back
everything a submissive needed. He liked to be in charge. And at the end of the
night, he wanted the satisfaction that he had pleased his woman, but that was
all. He hadn’t ever wanted a long term relationship. At least that was what
he’d told himself. It wasn’t until today that he realized he could hope for
more.

“Now you will obey me.”

She sighed in frustration as she tested her restraints.

“Where was I?”

He crawled in between her legs, spreading her thighs and
lowering his head. “I like the way you taste.” He took his time, kissing and
licking her slit before adding his fingers to massage inside her.

“Oh…” Breaths escaped her lips in tiny gasps.

He smiled against her mound before diving into her pussy
with his tongue. She thrust her hips forward, rocking against his face. It
didn’t take her long to let go and release. She screamed out his name as her
legs contracted against his shoulders and then she sank limply into the
mattress.

Logan reached into the drawer of the nightstand and
retrieved a condom. He quickly sheathed himself before crawling on top of her
and pulling the blindfold from her eyes.

“Hi,” she whispered.

“I want you to look into my eyes while I do this.” He sat up
on his knees, wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed inside her.

Her eyes widened when he started to move.

“Feel me, kitten? All of me.” Logan didn’t give her time to
respond. He increased his pace pounding into her with an unrestrained force.
She raised her hips off the bed, meeting him thrust for thrust. He needed her closer
to him, so he bent down and untied her, pulling her up into his lap.

“May I touch you now?” she asked.

“I’d like nothing more.”

She put her palms against his stomach and ran them up over
his chest and across his shoulders. “You’re so strong.” She leaned forward,
trailing kisses along his jaw and lips.

Her tenderness took his breath away. He slowed his
movements, taking in their connection. He’d always taken his partners fast and
hard. Never allowing for any kind of intimacy other than what was necessary to
assure the sub’s soundness after the heat of the moment. This encounter seemed
different. When he felt his stomach muscles tightening, he mentally cursed
himself for wanting to give in so soon. He slowed his pace easing her onto her
back.

Her bottom lip trembled as she gripped his shoulders.

“Harder,” he whispered through heated breath. “I want you to
take all of me. Wrap your legs around me.”

She lifted her legs and hooked them around his waist. He
slid balls deep into her heat.

He dug his fingers into her hips, raised her off the bed and
pounded into her. “Oh God, you’re so tight.” A sleek sheen of sweat formed over
his skin as he allowed himself to be caught up in her frenzy. The more he gave
her the more he wanted. The feel of her warmth around his cock along with those
sexy, little noises that escaped her lips were too much. Not to mention the
fact that she’d obeyed him and never took her eyes away from his.
Perfect!

“Elyse.” He swept her hair up into a makeshift ponytail and
tugged her head back, nipping and sucking on her neck. “You are mine now.”

He closed his eyes, exploding into the condom as he swiveled
his hips against her a few more times. She clasped his biceps and cried out
before dropping her head to rest on his shoulder.

He stroked her back as he kissed her hair. He waited until
her breathing returned to normal before rolling off her.

“I’ll be right back, beautiful.”

She crawled under the blankets and snuggled into the
pillows.

Get comfortable, cupcake. You’re not going anywhere
tonight.

Logan went into the bathroom to discard the condom and get a
warm washcloth for Elyse.  On his way back, he picked up the plate of cheese
and fruit that he’d left by the fireplace and placed it on the nightstand. He
sat on the edge of the bed and watched Elyse for a few moments. She looked like
she had fallen asleep. So peaceful and relaxed. He leaned down and kissed her
cheek before standing back up.

“Hey.” She reached for his hand. “Where are you going?”

“I thought you’d fallen asleep.”

“No, I was just so relaxed laying here in your bed.”

“Are you okay?”

She nodded.

“I want words.”

“I’m more than okay.”

“The restraints weren’t too much?” He rubbed her wrists.
“You didn’t mind being tied down?”

“I…” She looked down.

“Tell me.” He knelt down and tilted her chin so she had to
look at him. “Don’t be embarrassed.”

“The blindfold and the scarves were exciting. I’ve never
been so aroused.”

“I’ll have to remember to keep you restrained a little
longer next time.”

“I like the thought of a next time.”

“Me too.” He brushed his lips against hers. “Can I get you
anything?”

“Where were you going when you thought I was asleep?” 

 “I was going to fix myself a drink.”

“Do you have to get a drink?” She glanced at their abandoned
glasses from earlier. “We still have the wine.”

“I usually have a drink or two before I call it a night. But
I don’t have to.” Drinking himself into a stupor had just become part of his
routine for the past six months – but only because he didn’t have anything
better to do. “I’m not an alcoholic.”

“I didn’t say you were.” She pulled the covers back exposing
her sexy body to him. She knew the effect it had. She knew.

He flashed her a wolfish grin before climbing in next to
her. He tucked her under his arm close to his chest, wrapping his other arm around
her and kissing the top of her head.

“You cuddle?” She sounded surprised.

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“I wasn’t sure if Dominant men did that sort of thing.” She
giggled and he found that he liked the way she teased him.

“There are exceptions to every rule and you seem to bring
out my sensitive side.” He kissed each of her wrists. “And for the record, I
wasn’t that Dominant tonight.”

“There’s more?” She propped herself up onto her elbow and
stared at him. “Like how much more?”

“Only as much as you say.” He rolled onto his side to face
her. “Tonight was just a little slap and tickle. BDSM can be much more
intense.” He hiked her leg over his waist running small circles along her
hipbone with his thumb. “Or it can be only what we decide we want it to be.” He
committed the softness of her skin to memory. He wanted to learn every last
inch of her flesh.

“How far do you like to go?”

“That depends on my partner. I’ve been with some very
submissive women and I’ve also had women who liked to pretend they were
submissive.” He thought back to his experiences with Cora. She’d found out
through a mutual friend what kind of games he had been into and approached him.
She wanted to be tied up and spanked. The more time they spent together the
more she wanted from him emotionally. He couldn’t give her what she needed.

Elyse also seemed to be lost in thought.

“Hey.” He tilted her chin again. “Did you enjoy the time we
spent in the bedroom?”

“Couldn’t you tell?” She blushed. “I’ve never had three
orgasms in one night. Not ever.”

“I’m flattered.”

“You’re good.”

“Let’s see where this goes.” He swiped his thumb across her
bottom lip. “No expectations.”

“Will that be enough for you?”

 He had to find a way to replace her insecurities. He leaned
in and kissed her, running his hand along the side of her body. “What do you
think?” He took her hand and moved it over his hardening cock. “If we’re
keeping track of mind-blowing climaxes this evening, I believe you owe me one.”

“Hmm.” She pushed him onto his back and took his length into
her palm. “Is this what you had in mind?” She kissed his neck as she stroked
him.

“For now.” He tangled his fingers in her hair and pulled her
to his lips. “We have all night to even the score.”

Chapter Seven

The chilly October air whistled around the inn. All of the
leaves had changed color and begun to blanket the property creating a postcard
picture. Elyse looked out the kitchen windows as she waited for the last batch
of her homemade chocolate chip cookies to finish.

She’d packed the picnic basket. It was cooler than she had
expected, but she wanted to spend the afternoon outside. She’d remembered a
rustic old gazebo not far back behind the inn. The former owners used to host
walking tours along the trails. She thought the spot would be a perfect place
for her and Logan to have lunch. He’d been working so hard on the renovations
these past two weeks and making wonderful progress that she thought he deserved
a special lunch.
