her stomach, she’d been beaten.
    “I’m not hurting you, am I?”
    She took a long moment and resisted the urge to nod.
    “Of course I’m not,” he said, raking his fingertips down her
throat in a nonthreatening, tender manner. “The med unit took away the physical
pain. The mental anguish is what lingers. Perhaps I can somehow distract you
from those memories.”
    Meticulously, he ran his fingers down the front of her
shirt, unfastening each button and parting the material. The stirring of his
breath on her heated skin warned her of what would come next. To her surprise,
he left her breasts covered and slid his fingers along her lower rib cage and
belly. Slowly, deliberately, he stroked until she grew accustomed his touch.
    He his hands during a caress and covered her breasts. Air
hitched in her throat before the shock faded and she could breathe normally.
    “You’re very sensitive.” He didn’t rub, squeeze or even move
as he gently held her breasts within his large, warm hands. “Your nipples are
waking with barely any stimulation.”
    Yes, she could feel the reaction. It was as if she’d
received a chill. They’d never drawn into peaks with so little provocation. He
slid his palms to the sides of her mounds and her nipples tightened more with
the touch of cooler air.
    Warm breath washed over first one breast and then the other.
She squirmed against the soft, fur-lined bed and moaned. What was wrong with
her? The fear in her belly began turning into something different. Something unexpected.
Something pleasant.
    “Very, very nice, Sage,” he said while gently pinching the
peaks of her breasts.
    The praise and featherlight touching produced immediate
wetness between her legs. His gentle words and careful exploration did more to
stimulate her sexually than the act itself had with other men. Did he possess
some sort of power over women? He certainly wasn’t hard to look at. But at the
moment she couldn’t see a thing except in her mind’s eye.
    “And now I’m going to kiss each breast so I can learn the
taste of your skin. I want to memorize the texture of your nipples as they
tighten.”
    She covered her mounds before freezing in place. Would he
tie her down because she’d disobeyed? She bit into the gag when all she really
wanted to do was scream out her frustration. Her choices remained limited.
Jacob or Sovereign.
    “You’ve made a mistake. I can tell by your expression you
acted without forethought. Spread your arms wide and leave them against the
bed.”
    Hesitantly, she complied, exposing herself to his hands,
eyes and mouth.
    “One more act of defiance will result in punishment. Let’s
not ruin this experience. Agreed?”
    She nodded, releasing the breath she’d held.
    “While I understand you’re new to this,” he said, stroking
her breasts before pinching her nipples lightly, pulling them until they
lengthened and hardened, “you mustn’t stop me. I told you I’d be gentle. I
will. But I won’t hesitate to tie you down if necessary.”
    The stroking, plumping, pinching and pulling rippled over
her skin, causing mild shocks that traveled to her spine.
    “I need to understand your anatomy, your likes, your
dislikes, your hesitations and limits. I don’t have weeks to discover these
things. I have days. You’ll help me by lying still. Understand?”
    “Mmm,” she hummed, saliva filling her mouth.
    “If I inadvertently hurt you and you need me to stop, you’ll
pull your right hand into a fist. I’ll stop what I’m doing and we’ll
negotiate.”
    She nodded and bit down on the gag. When he stopped stroking
her breasts, she arched her back. Her body acted of its own accord, seeking the
touch that a moment ago had brought her pleasure. She squeezed her thighs
together, intensifying the ache in her swollen labia, increasing the wetness
escaping her vagina.
    The darkness forced her to concentrate on nothing but his
gentle touches and licks. No visual distractions stopped her from
