CHAPTER THIRTEEN

HAVING HER MOUTH on him helped. Dulled the anxiety that had jacked up his heart rate and made his palms sweat, blindsiding him with its intensity.

“You can’t win big if you’re soft. That’s your problem. You care too much, but you can’t help yourself, can you?”

He leaned into the kiss, ignored her “no touching” rule and cradled her face in his hands, shoving his tongue in her mouth with more desperation than finesse in his quest to recapture the hazy spell of lust she’d ensnared him in the moment he’d walked through the door.

“It’s your fault I have to punish you. Now, stand still.”

He groaned as she leaned into him, understanding his wordless plea and pressing her body against his, her arms around his neck, pulling him close as she kissed him back.

The kiss, her touch, helped calm his heart, until he could hear the music she’d put on and not just the rush of blood in his ears. The air-conditioning cooled the sweat on his skin, making him shiver.

“You’ll thank me for this one day. For teaching you a lesson. For making you a man.”

She was just going to tie him up. He wanted her to.

And then she’d run that fucking belt over her fingers, pressed it to his wrist and he was back there.

The bite of leather on his skin, the wash of pain along his back, biting his lip so hard to keep from crying out, from making it worse, that he tasted the salt of blood, but not tears. Never tears.

Everything jumbled together, memories and reality colliding, twisting in his gut until he couldn’t tell them apart anymore.

“I’m so sorry, Max.”

Emma. Emma’s voice in his ear, soothing him. Emma’s hands in his hair, saving him. Bringing him back.

“This was a bad idea. I never meant to... We can stop, okay? We’ll stop.”

Unshed tears glistened in her eyes, extinguishing all trace of the feisty seductress who’d broken into his hotel room.

No. Dammit. His father had taken too much from him already. Kaylee. John. Aidan. He wasn’t taking this.

Her.

He was in control of his own goddamn life, Max reminded himself, and if he wanted to be tied up by the sexy, beautiful woman straddling his lap, then no one was going to stop him.

“Use the tie. Loose knots.” His voice was hoarse.

Her fingers stilled in his hair and she shook her head.

The compassion in her eyes humbled him.

Max reached out, catching the end of his tie between his index and middle finger, pulling it free from the tangle of his shirt and lifting it between them.

“Do it.”

Emma swallowed as her eyes dropped to the black and grey striped silk. Her fingers tightened against the back of his neck. She didn’t want to. Probably afraid he’d freak out again.

He wouldn’t.

And he needed her help to prove it to himself.

Please.

The blood rushing in his ears was too loud, so he wasn’t sure if he’d spoken the word aloud, or just mouthed it.

She lowered her hands from the back
