She was tempted to give him orders. She'd start by telling him to bunch up the shirt. But she didn't dare. Not yet.
With her breath hitching in her throat, Mia watched Caleb kiss the top of her breasts. He took his time, leisurely exploring the gentle slope until he reached her nipple.
He swirled his tongue around the peak of her breast, instantly wetting her tank top. Her nipple poked hard against the transparent cotton. She didn't move, her fingers raking the couch cushion as he closed his mouth around her nipple.
Mia swallowed back a moan as liquid heat gushed through her. She allowed her eyelids to drift down as he latched on to her nipple. He drew the crest deeply into her mouth, and this time she couldn't hold back a moan.
She wanted to keep her eyes open and watch Caleb, but she was afraid to show how she felt. What would her eyes reveal? What would Aidan read into it? Would Jamie see how much Mia enjoyed Caleb's touch? Would Caleb?
This time Mia felt Aidan's presence strongly. It was as if he were sitting next to her. He was silent but she knew he was attuned. She felt every time he shifted or made a move.
Was he surprised? Horrified? She was becoming increasingly curious, but she didn't want to ruin this moment.
Caleb bit down on her nipple. The edge of his teeth sliced through the sensual fog enveloping her. Mia gasped as the heat spread through her breasts.
She wanted Caleb's mouth all over. She wanted him to lick and taste her skin. She longed for him to bite and leave his mark.
“Push up my shirt,” she said in a whisper. Giving the sexual command felt uncomfortable against her tongue.
She felt Caleb jerk his head up in surprise. “What was that?”
She wasn't going to repeat it. Mia grabbed the hem of her tank top and yanked it up to her armpits, exposing her naked breasts. “Keep going.”
She opened her eyes, ready to risk everything so she could watch Caleb take her breast into his mouth. She already made it clear that she liked his touch and wanted his mouth on her naked skin. Aidan hadn't said a word. Neither had Jamie. Could she take their silence as acceptance?
Her breath caught in her throat as she watched him lave his tongue along the underside of her breast. Her pussy tingled, and she squeezed her thighs together. When Caleb pressed her breasts together and nuzzled his face in her cleavage, Mia bit her lip, enjoying the rasp of his unshaven jaw.
In fact, she wished he weren't so gentle. She wanted him to squeeze her breasts until he left red marks streaking her pale skin. She needed him to pinch and nip and chew her nipples until she was writhing underneath him, screaming his name.
But she couldn'tâwouldn'tâgo that far. The agreement was a kiss only, and she would follow the rules, no matter how much she wanted to break them.
Mia arched her spine when Caleb chewed her crinkled nipple. She gasped, not from the savage touch or the fire streaking through her blood. How did Caleb know exactly what she needed without her telling him? What gave her away?
Her gaze collided with Jamie. Her friend was on her knees, her face flushed as her eyes glittered. Jamie was smiling and nodding her head, silently encouraging Mia to go further.
Caleb kissed the underside of her right breast. His touch was sweet and gentle. She wasn't expecting him to suddenly suck her breast hard. She cried out as her nerve endings sparked to life. Mia felt the pull of his teeth go straight to her clit as he branded her with his mouth.
Oh, no. Caleb had marked her. What was Aidan going to think about this? She turned and looked at her boyfriend. He was rising to his feet and approaching her with a swiftness that surprised her.
What was he going to do? For once, she had no idea what would happen next. Would Aidan push Caleb away? Would he join them? Mia gasped as her pussy creamed from the thought.
She couldn't tell by his expression, but she didn't move away. Caleb's mouth felt so good, and she wanted his mouth all over her. Aidan was just going to have to wait his turn.
Mia's eyes widened. Had she said that out loud?
Aidan reached out and picked her up in one sweeping move. She suddenly didn't feel powerful anymore. More like delicate and small against Aidan's strength.
But she wasn't afraid. Not with Aidan. Even in the heat of passion, Aidan never lost control. He was, however, dangerous to her senses.
Mia looked into Aidan's eyes, and excitement twisted sharply inside her. Aidan had had enough of foreplay and was ready to claim her.
Had he gotten turned on watching her half naked with Caleb? Or was he staking his territory? If that was the case, this swapping was over before it started. But she didn't care at that moment.
She clung to his bare shoulders. Aidan wrapped an arm around her back and held her close. His body heat scorched her as her breasts pressed against his chest. She whimpered as the coarse hair scratched her hardened nipples.
“What are you doing?” Jamie asked Aidan, jumping up from the couch.
“The game is over,” Aidan announced. He carried Mia out of the room. She heard Jamie's throaty laugh trailing behind her.
Aidan took Mia to her bedroom and kicked the door shut. He didn't put her down as he pulled the scrunched up tank top from her body before tugging off her shorts and thong.
“Are you okay?” Mia asked. She hated having to pose the question, but Aidan's moves were usually graceful and thought out. Tonight he was abrupt and urgent.
“Oh, yeah,” he said in a growl. He gradually lowered her to a stand, brushing her small curves against the hard planes of his body.
She stood before him, unsure what he was going to do next. She'd never seen him like this. Mia clasped her hands behind her back and obediently dipped her head, eagerly waiting for instructions.
Aidan stroked his hand along her cheek before he crooked his finger under her chin. He gently tilted her face up, but she felt the hot desire whipping through his body. She admired his ability to master his responses, but at the same time she wished she could unleash his lust just by being naked in front of him.
“Take my jeans off.”
Mia did as he asked. She pulled his belt free and unzipped his jeans. Shoving the denim down his thighs, she knelt down before him, ready to serve.
He petted the top of her head, and she felt the tremor in his hand.
“Now my underwear,” he said.
Mia reached for the waistband of his white briefs and slowly stripped him naked. Aidan's thick cock bobbed in front of her face. His masculine scent whetted her appetite. She had to taste him.
But first she had to wait for permission. It was a rule they had established long ago, and Mia was proud that she had never broken her word, no matter how much she wanted him.
Aidan gripped the base of his erection and fed his cock to her. Mia groaned and licked the wet crown hungrily.
As she swirled her tongue around his cock, she fought the urge to grab and fondle his balls. She wanted to lick and suck the heavy sacks.
Instead she licked the length of his cock. Every move she made got her closer to his balls. She abruptly pulled back, not sure if she could fight the temptation.
Aidan stepped back and Mia looked up in surprise. Did he know she had almost disobeyed him? Would he punish her with sensual torment? A shiver swept down her spine as her core clenched in anticipation.
“Wait,” Aidan told her. He reached for his belt and stepped behind her. Mia held her breath. What was he going to do?
She almost turned her head to see, but stopped herself short. It didn't matter if she felt vulnerable. She trusted Aidan. Everything he did was for her pleasure as well as his own. She knew this and kept her gaze directly ahead.
Mia felt the leather slither against her wrist before he bound her hand with his belt behind her back. The position caused her to thrust her breasts out. Mia bit her lip as the arousal dripped down her thigh.
When Aidan stepped in front of her, he held her jaw in his hands and opened her mouth wide.
“Suck me,” he ordered, guiding his cock past her lips.
Mia kept her gaze on his face as she licked and suckled his cock. She drew him deep in her mouth, but she couldn't take all of him. She wished she could wrap her fingers against the root of his cock and pump hard. She would love to squeeze his balls. But she couldn't. Her arms burned as she pulled at her bindings.
She lavished all of her attention on Aidan. She sucked hard and then brushed her tongue lightly against his cock. Aidan's hips started to buck against her face and she mixed up her tempo to keep him on edge.
When Aidan began to thrust in her mouth, he froze. Mia continued to lap his cock, feeling every twitch and pulse against her tongue. She knew he was going to pull out, and she was going to do everything to stop it.
As he reluctantly withdrew, Mia curled her tongue along the sensitive spot under his cock. Aidan shuddered and didn't move. She lunged forward and clamped her mouth around him, drawing him deep, until he touched the back of her throat.
It was too much for Aidan. He held the side of Mia's face and started to thrust, long and hard. Mia enthusiastically met his demand. Aidan tried to hold back but at the last moment he plunged forcefully past her lips, pulsing hotly in her mouth.
Mia closed her eyes and swallowed. She smiled, realizing that she had created a chink in Aidan's armor. She had made him lose control. Testing her boundaries revealed a power of hers that she didn't know she had.
She didn't want to stop exploring. It was time to see if her powers of persuasion could convince Aidan to continue the swap.
SIX
Later that night, Mia lay in bed with Aidan, her head resting against his shoulder as she stared up at the lace canopy. The heady sense of power she had enjoyed drifted away, and she now felt uncertain. She needed to know how Aidan felt about her kissing Jamie. She had to hear what he thought about the way she ordered Caleb to lick her breasts.
“Aidan,” she asked softly, “are you okay with what happened during the game?”
“If I wasn't, I would have said so.”
She looked at him. His eyes were closed and he appeared on the verge of sleep. What happened in the media room hadn't bothered him at all. “Then why did you pull me away?”
He opened his eyes and looked down at her, a smile playing on his mouth. “I wanted you too much.”
She narrowed her eyes, not sure if that was the whole truth. There had been plenty of times when he'd wanted her, but he hadn't rushed her out of the room to have sex. “So”âshe took a deep breath and plunged right inâ“do you want to do it again?”
Aidan didn't move, but she felt him tense. “Do you want to?”
This was her chance. She had to tell him the truth. “Yes.” She cringed at the way her voice wobbled. She really wanted this. Why couldn't she ask for it loud and clear?
“Why do you want it?” Jeez . . . why did he always ask her such tough questions? Did he know it was one way of stripping her naked, layer by layer?
Mia looked away and wished she hadn't. Why couldn't she tell him her fantasies? He was her boyfriend, after all.
But there were times she felt too much was at stake. She was invested in this relationship, and she didn't want to mess it up. Mia gave a fractured sigh. She felt very vulnerable, more exposed than when she was naked, spread-eagle, and chained to his bed.
But if she told Aidan what she wanted, then he would think he wasn't enough for her. That would lead to all sorts of questions and complicated answers. It would be best for everyone involved if she held back.
Mia gave a halfhearted shrug. “I just want to do something different and see what it's like.”
“What do you want to do exactly?”
Trust Aidan to ask for the gritty details. “I want to swap with Jamie. Just once.” She squeezed her eyes shut. Don't ask me why. Please don't dig too deep, because I don't know why I want to do this. I don't know what my answer will be.
“Okay.”
She swiveled her head. Did he agree? She almost couldn't believe it. Had simply agreed without any conditions or limitations? That didn't feel right. “âOkay?'” she repeated. “Just like that?”
“Yeah, just like that.” He curled her closer to his side, and she flattened her hand against his chest. “But I don't know about Jamie.”
“She's okay. . . . I mean”âshe grimaced as she stumbled on her explanationâ“she'll be okay with the swap.” No need for him to know it was a done deal.
“She might say she's okay with it, but she doesn't know what she's getting into.”
Mia rubbed her palm against Aidan's chest, the crisp hair rough against her skin. “Jamie isn't naive.”
“It isn't about being naive,” Aidan argued. “When it comes to sex, Jamie is all about having the power. I bet she can't relinquish it.”
Mia knew Jamie couldn't. She was too strong-willed, unlike Mia. “Well, you could go easy on her.”
“I don't think so.” Aidan placed his hand over hers. “Jamie can be greedy with power. She would do anything to be on top, and I'm not going to let that happen.”
Mia raised her head. “Why won't you let a woman overpower you?”
“Because they see me as a challenge and try to break me,” Aidan replied in a harsh tone.
Mia gnawed on her bottom lip. She knew Jamie would try to tame Aidan. Her friend wouldn't be able to resist teaching Aidan some manners.
“You could tie her down if you wanted to,” Mia offered. “Don't worry about Jamie. She's been tied down before.”
“Not by me.” Aidan closed his eyes as if that were the end of the discussion.
