Chapter Five

At the tap to his bare ass cheeks, Zeno woke up to see the man of his dreams leaning over him. A warm, sexy smile curved the lips he’d finally kissed the night before, and he wrapped his arms around Liam’s neck to draw him down for a lingering kiss.

Through the night, Zeno had woken up to discover that he seemed to prefer sleeping on Liam, rather than beside him. Along with an arm and a leg draped over Liam, Zeno’s head had repeatedly made use of Liam’s shoulder for a pillow.

Memories of the previous evening came flooding back to him. When Liam had insisted on simply sleeping together after their intense scene, Zeno had been disappointed, but now, in the cold light of day, he was glad and felt ready and willing to prove he was ready for the next step.

As Liam deepened the kiss, Zeno eagerly opened to him, and Liam thrust his tongue deep into his mouth. Easing back slowly, he gazed down at Zeno.

“Time to wake up.” Liam knelt on the bed beside Zeno. “I want to take this to the next level. I want you.”

“Yes. I l—” Zeno cleared his throat, then smiled. “I want you, too. Show me how to please you.”

At the slow nod from Liam, Zeno felt a thrill of excitement. He’d wanted Liam longer than he cared to admit, even to himself. Zeno stroked his fingertips along Liam’s arms, feeling the goosebumps that rose in their wake. Liam stared at him for a moment, then stood up.

“Wait here. There’s something in the bathroom I want to get.”

While Liam went into the bathroom, Zeno sat up, curious to see what Liam had planned. He brought back two sets of clothing, and Zeno studied them. One set was a leather thong and harness, but the other was completely different and his cock stirred as he stroked his fingers over black satin and lace.

“If these aren’t to your taste, it’s not important. But fuck if I don’t think you’d look drop dead gorgeous in them. Go into the bathroom and make sure you clean yourself thoroughly. You may choose your outfit. Whatever you opt for, you’ll be in it for quite some time.” Liam’s smile turned wolfish, and Zeno’s felt a flush of arousal spread through his body.

“Yes, Sir.” Without further hesitation, Zeno slid out of bed and hurried away to shower and change.

While hot water cascaded over him, Zeno grinned, thrumming with anticipation as he washed himself from top to toe. He’d already decided which outfit to wear and hoped the racier silk and lace ensemble fitted.

To his delight, the panties were fine, the corset fitted if he used the tightest fastening, and the fishnets made it to just above his knees. He’d have preferred they went up higher, but he doubted it would matter to Liam.

Zeno’s prediction proved accurate as he sashayed his way back into the room, adding a deliberate sway to his hips, and Liam stared at him for a good thirty seconds.

“Fuck. You do look amazing.” Liam’s voice had dropped in timbre, and the low, rasping sound went straight to Zeno’s cock.

“While your punishment won’t exactly fit your crime, it is going to be both educational and thorough. Are you ready?” Liam asked and Zeno nodded.

“Good. Because we shan’t be going downstairs for breakfast, as tempting as it would be to show you off a little more. This is a sight for my eyes only. You touched when you didn’t have permission, and now you must bear your punishment.”

“How could I resist? Your body is amazing, and it was so close to me. And you didn’t say I couldn’t touch.”

The touch of defiance seemed exactly as Liam liked, plus what Zeno had said was true. When Liam had sent him under the table, there had been no instruction around touching.

“For that little display, I assure you that you’ll be tied down and fucked until you can’t speak.”

A smile flitted rapidly across Zeno’s face, replaced almost immediately by a full-on pout.

“Come here.” Liam positioned Zeno so that his back was pressed to Liam’s chest. The feel of Liam’s chest hair against his skin made Zeno sigh softly.

Reaching around him, Liam quickly stroked Zeno to full hardness, and then fixed a cock ring in place. He nuzzled into Zeno’s hair to press his lips against an ear.

“Since you can tolerate a ring for extended periods, and I am blessed with an excellent recovery time, we should fit very well together.”

When Liam rubbed his very erect cock over the silk panties, Zeno deliberately pushed back, as if to goad Liam into taking him quickly. Instead he received a stinging swat to his ass cheeks.

“Naughty boy. That’s another half hour you’ll wait. Now, hands out. I’m going to make sure they can’t touch anything without permission.”

A soft groan was Zeno’s only response, and Liam grinned as he snapped fur-lined cuffs into place.

“Now, let’s play. Nothing too complicated to start.” Liam pressed gently on Zeno’s shoulders and he sank gracefully to his knees. “Open up.”

While Zeno continued to kneel on the carpet, Liam slid his cock back and forth into his mouth. After a couple of minutes, Liam stopped moving, and Zeno knew it was his turn to take over.
