Chapter 10

“Well,” she said smartly, “if you’re looking for post-sex cuddling, it’s going to be pretty difficult this way.”

It surprised her when a loud peal of laughter burst from his throat. Maybe because she didn’t think this was very funny. In fact, it was . . . humiliating. Bad enough that she’d somehow become okay with this—actually being tied up and held down, for God’s sake—during the heat of the moment, when everything was infused with excitement and a certain dark passion. But now that the excitement was over, it was back to feeling unthinkable again. Like a secret you hide away in your closet or under the bed. The room suddenly felt far too bright, and if only she’d had use of her hands she’d have gotten up and turned off a lamp.

But then again, if she’d had use of her hands, she wouldn’t be so desperate to douse the room in shadows.

“Nothing against cuddling, Ginger,” he said, “but that’s not what I have in mind.”

Still facedown on the couch, she let out a huff. Better to be angry than to wallow in her naked embarrassment. “What on earth are you after?”

“Nothing else kinky,” he said, which did actually relieve her a little.

But she stayed just as belligerent. “Really? Are you sure you wouldn’t like me to get down on all fours and bark like a dog?”

He let out another laugh. “Well, if you really want to—”

“I don’t!”

“—but then again, that would be hard with your hands tied behind your back, too.”

She took a deep breath, let it back out. Tried not to feel so aware of her nudity. When she spoke, her voice came out quieter—she was tired. “Look, what is it you want? My arms really do hurt.”

When he didn’t answer right away, she glanced up to see him staring down at her, as if trying to size something up.

“What?” she snapped.

Her tone didn’t seem to faze him. “Maybe we can make a deal.” He tilted his handsome head to one side. “If I let you loose, do you promise not to run away this time?” Before she could even form an answer, he went on, “Because I seriously won’t let you. I just want to talk, April, so I’m not gonna let you run away from that.”

She drew in her breath, both comforted and horrified. In one way, talking sounded so easy—even nice. But in another . . . what did he want to talk about? What they’d just done? Ugh.

Though even if that was the case, she couldn’t see a better alternative than agreeing. “I won’t run away,” she said softly.

“Good girl,” he murmured. And this time the patronizing words stung a little—even as some tiny ribbon of naughty pleasure wove its way up her spine.

She chose to stay silent as he worked at the knot behind her back. One wrong word, after all, and he might leave her this way.
