platform and reached up to grab for the first cuff.
Craig raised an eyebrow.
Gus muttered under his breath, but lifted his arm and let Craig fasten the metal restraint to his wrist, then repeat the process until Gus stood with both his arms raised.
“Grip the metal bars,” Craig said softly. “They’ll save your wrists.”
Gus fit his fingers around the bars inside the top of the stirrup-shaped cuffs and held tight.
A man familiar with restraints, Gus felt a moment’s panic when he pulled and felt the bite of the metal around his wrists. Cold sweat broke on his forehead.
Craig backed away, but didn’t leave.
Footsteps clicked behind him. Hands stroked his shoulders, his back, his buttocks. Gus hadn’t known he needed Aislinn’s familiar caress until he breathed deeply. His cock bobbed against his belly.
Aislinn walked around him, sliding into the space between his body and the sawhorse. She tilted her head back to meet his gaze. Again, she glided her hands over his chest, his abdomen, downward, cupping his erection and gripping it firmly, pulling on it until he lifted on his toes.
The chains above him tightened, taking up the slack.
“If you feel pain in your shoulders, tell me,” she said softly. “You won’t disappoint me.”
He nodded, but his mouth dried. His cock hardened further as she ran her firm grip up and down his shaft.
She reached beside her, palm up. Craig stepped to a tray Gus hadn’t seen at the side of the platform and picked up a bundle of black straps, which he handed to Aislinn, a slight smirk curving his mouth.
Aislinn deftly unwound them, and then formed a cup which she slid slowly down his dick. A pull on one band tightened the leather around the base of his cock. A cradle of criss-crossed bands cinched around his balls.
“That necessary?” he whispered.
“Since I haven’t told you my rules yet, I’ll let your question slide.” When she dropped her hands, she came closer, her chest crowding his. She reached up, cupped his ears, and pulled his face down. “Hear me now. Unless your shoulders hurt, you aren’t allowed to speak until I ask a direct question. When you respond, end each answer with ‘Mistress’.”
She waited, raising one brow.
Gus gave a curt nod, liking a little too much the feel of the soft, buttery leather of her skirt pressing against his cock.
Placing a palm alongside his cheek, she rose on her toes, locking their gazes. “We’ve come a long way in a very short time, Gus. So far, I’ve gone light on you, letting you get to know me while I learned your strengths. I’m going to push you tonight—so far out of your comfort zone, you might balk. Trust me.” She rasped the pad of her thumb over his lower lip. “When we’re done, I’ll give you a treat. Anything you want. As reward.”
Gus’s gaze narrowed, dropping to her chest for a moment before rising again. His cock jerked against her.
Her mouth slid into satisfied smile. “Later, baby. I’ll give you back your pride in spades.”
Chapter Six
Knowing everyone watched and likely wondered what the hell she was doing, Aislinn shut everything and everyone out of her mind, concentrating instead on the taut set of Gus’s jaw and the fierce pride gleaming in his eyes.
Seeing him seemed to clarify something in her mind. No longer confounded by her intense attraction, she embraced it—and him.
“Tonight, and longer if you want it, you belong to me,” she whispered.
Gus became still. His gaze glittered as he stared down at her, and his jaw firmed.
Aislinn gave him a soft smile then lowered, barely resisting the need to kiss his mouth. Later, she’d give him everything he deserved for giving himself completely into her care. A stirring of deep emotions, of gratitude and something else she was afraid to name just yet, filled her, strengthening her to continue. She’d never felt like this before. As though a bond had formed, that his pleasure was hers, and his sacrifice of pride and
