His eyes told me I was right, the male watching me for the exquisite instant of rightness.

“So close,” he whispered, his minty breath parting my lips. “You’re so very close.”

I know,I nearly told him.

“Are you going to scream for me, Lily?”

That nickname rolled off his tongue, going straight to my soul. I’d never been given a name, just a number. And I rather liked the name he’d chosen to call me.

“Are you going to let me feel your release? Make me wish it was my cock inside you instead of my fingers?”

My legs tensed, my mind picturing his crude words with ease. “Please…” I wasn’t sure what I wanted. Him to fulfill that fantasy? Him to release my clit? Both?

“Say my name, sweet flower. Ask me to let you come by saying my name.”

My mouth went dry, his words and power holding me captive beneath him, dangling on the dangerous edge of climax. “Please, Master?—”

He tsked. “Just my name, Lily flower.”

I squeezed my eyes shut, the name taunting my tongue.

His teeth sank into my lower lip in response, forcing my eyes wide open again in shock.

“I want to see your pleasure, Lily,” he said, his voice holding a touch of reprimand. “And I want to hear you moan my name.”

“Cedric.” It came out on a hiss-like groan, my veins melting into liquid fire. “Please, Cedric. I need…”

A violent tremble rendered me speechless, his thumb pressing down even harder as his fingers curled inside me. Magic blistered beneath that touch, shooting sparks to each nerve and stirring a garbled plea from my mouth.

Master Cedric bent to kiss me, his tongue soothing the wound he’d made on my lower lip, as his thumb finally released me from my torment.

I screamed into his mouth, the pleasure bordering on pain as it rolled through me with savage vibrations that pierced every inch of my being. My toes curled, myfingers formed fists, and my heart threatened to stop beating.

It stirred another groan from my chest that I couldn’t have suppressed even if I wanted to.

And all the while, Master Cedric kissed me, taking in my moans and screams and rewarding my compliance with his tongue.

I felt reborn.

Like he’d just introduced me to a new world of existence.

One that enthralled me and terrified me.

Because this new world felt too real. It felt like the kind of world I could actually enjoy.

And that inspired feelings I didn’t want to experience.

Feelings likehope.

Cedric

“That was glorious,”I whispered against her mouth. “Fucking beautiful.”

It’d taken a bit of coaxing, mostly because her programming had kicked in midway through her first climax, but the end result was worth the effort.

Her blue-green irises sparkled with residual effects of pleasure, her expression one of wonder and confusion and a hint of fear.
