Araneae

The tightness in my core moved. No longer sure of my wiles—no longer sure of anything—I debated my options. I was alone in this flying mansion with a man nearly twice my size. I’d dressed in the outfit he’d prepared. I’d removed my panties when he’d demanded.

What could I do now? Scream? Would Patrick come to my rescue?

In another situation, most likely. Involving Sterling, never.

Reaching for my hand, Sterling tugged me forward. Then, with his hands on my shoulders, he spun me toward the bed.

I craned my neck his direction, refusing to let him off without a fight—at least a verbal one. “You’re an asshole if you think this is acceptable. I’m not a child to be disciplined. Grown-ups talk.”

The vein in his forehead became visible as he leaned closer. “Grown-ups also fuck. Which one will it be?”

“Fuck you,” I replied as I leaned forward, my exposed breasts flattening against the soft cover of the mattress.

Without speaking, he splayed his large hand on the small of my back, causing it to arch and raise my ass higher as my toes stretched.

I’d wondered earlier why his bed was so high. Now I had my answer.

“Put your hands behind your back.”

“Fuck yourself.”

His hand pressed harder into the small of my back as his other one grabbed my hair, turning my face toward his. Each word was separate and distinct as his features contorted. “Keep up your demands, Ms. McCrie. You will regret every fucking one.” Releasing my hair, he lifted the skirt to the dress and exposed my ass. Cool air found my core. “Do. You. Believe. Me. Now?”

The rage within him should make him ugly. Maybe the rage did. However, it was his obvious restraint that didn’t. This chiseled mountain of a man was on the verge of losing control. Like barbed wire, the reality poked from all directions. I should be terrified.

Yet I wasn’t.

He wasn’t over the edge, and he wouldn’t go there. Somehow, I knew that.

His internal tug of war was real, yet restraint was winning. That observation kept me grounded.

There was no doubt that I was attracted to Sterling’s power from the first time I saw him. That dominance radiated about him like a shimmering force of energy. For most of my adult life I’d fantasized about a man like him, one willing to push me to explore my boundaries and submit. I’d never found that in a man—until now. And now that I had, reality was different.

For me to give up control, I had to trust the person to whom I was giving it. As my cheek lay against the soft cover, I wasn’t sure if I trusted him.

Did I have a choice?

“Araneae.”

My name came as both a reminder and warning. My mind searched for what he wanted. And then I remembered. My hands.

“Asshole,” I muttered as I did as he requested. As soon as I did, the strong leather of his belt wound around my wrists and forearms, securing my hands until my shoulders bowed. “Sterling, please…”

His large hand ran over the skin of my ass, each time moving lower.
