“Are you planning to wash me with your mouth?” Master Cedric asked, his tone holding a touch of irritation in it that caused my eyes to return to his.

Tumultuous irises stared down at me, the look rivaling his voice.

I’m taking too long to perform,I realized, my heart skipping a beat.

Humans weren’t supposed to question their superiors. They just took whatever was given to them.

Including accepting a large cock down the throat.

I knew better than to pause and evaluate his size.

This was about his pleasure, something he clearly craved.

And I intended to prove to him that I could properly please him.

“Sorry, Master Cedric,” I whispered as I wrapped my hand around the base of him. “Your impressive size took me by surprise.” I hoped the compliment would defuse the situation.

However, his thunderous expression told me it hadn’t.

I pressed my lips to his bulbous head, hoping to make him forget my infraction.

Except I found my hair wrapped around his fist in the next second.

I opened my mouth, expecting him to drive himself down my throat in anger.

But he pulled me away instead, his own knees bending as he joined me on the floor. “Thisis not the game we’re playing, Lily. I don’t want your mouth on my cock. I want your hands on my body. Exploring. Touching.Learning. And I certainly don’t want you sucking me off according to university standards.”

Ice drizzled through my veins, chasing away the warmth.

He… he doesn’t want me to please him?

“Is this because I failed before?” I asked, confused, as I thought he’d said I hadn’t actually failed. But maybe I’d misunderstood. “I’ve been training. I can do better. I know I paused, but?—”

He yanked on my hair, the action making me wince. “This shower is for you, Lily. Not for me.” His griplessened then, his gaze falling to my mouth before meeting my eyes once more. “When I fuck your mouth, it will be because you actually want me to, not because you think it’s what I desire.”

“But isn’t it what you want?” I asked, my hand finding his hardness once more. “You’re aroused.”

“Of course I’m aroused, Lily. I’m naked in a shower with you.”

“Then let me please you,” I whispered. “I… Iwantto please you.” I did. And not just because of the failure before, but because I’d dreamt of it for months. “I want to taste you. I want to see your pleasure.”

Some of the anger left his expression, his eyes searching mine. “I almost believe you.”

“Because it’s true,” I told him.

“This is your training talking.”

I shook my head, then nodded a little because he wasn’t wrong, but he wasn’t right either. “I’m trained, yes. But I trained for you. I want a chance to show you what I know and what I can do. You said I didn’t really fail. But I want to know what it’s like to pass. To meet your expectations. To pleaseyou.”

I realized it sounded naïve and borderline obsessive. But it was the truth.

“You said this game ends when I leave the shower, but I’m still here,” I continued. “And I want to prove to you that I can win. That I can impress you. Please, Master Cedric. Will you let me pleasure you?”

Cedric

“No.”Not because I didn’t want it, but because this wasn’t how I wanted her to beg.
