Exhaling, she tipped back her head.

She’d been unprepared when she had removed his jeans.She’d told herself that his tight boxer briefs had made him look bigger than he was, but when he’d taken them off, she’d been shocked to realize just how significant his cock was.

Still, kneeling there, in front of him, something had come over her.Maybe she had been inspired by the pictures they’d looked at together or their conversation about him being a Dom, but taking him into her mouth had seemed to be her next obvious move, even though it was the first time in her life that she’d initiated a blow job.

By the time he’d finally taken her, she’d been out of her mind.Being spread wide and bound had made her feel both sexy and vulnerable, making her very much aware of her role.

Sex with him had been nothing like she had imagined.Because of the way he’d engaged her brain—something she had no doubt he’d done on purpose—everything else had been magnified.

And when they were done, he’d held her, stroked her, talked to her.It was as if their lovemaking hadn’t ended after he’d climaxed.

Sofia expelled a breath.What they’d shared so far hadn’t been close to enough.

Not more than a minute later, she heard his footsteps and the scrabble of dog nails on the hardwood.

“Heading out for a bit.Need to give the guys a hand with some fence,” he told her.“Make damn sure you’re here when I get back.”

“Cade—”

“It’s dangerous out there, and I don’t want to think about you getting stranded.”

“I was going to wait for it to ease off.”

“Would you like me to tie you to the fucking bed?”

“Ah, isn’t there a rule about not leaving a sub unattended when she’s in bondage?”

He folded his arms across his chest.He was the picture of implacability, and his words were no softer.“Not if it’s for her own good.”

Arguing would net her nothing, she realized.And worse, she was delaying him.“I’ll be here.”

“I meant it when I said I wasn’t done with you.”

She shuddered.

Quicker than she would have believed possible, he moved.He grabbed her hands and momentarily pinned them to the wall above her head.The sheet tumbled, leaving her naked and exposed.Her breaths came in ragged gulps.

He devoured her with a kiss, pinching one of her nipples and pulling on it.No way could she resist this man.

He left her then, trembling with need.

Loopy raced after him.In the distance, she heard a door slam.

She had no idea how long he’d be gone, and she knew she couldn’t spend the evening in his bed waiting for him.

Loopy returned and Sofia considered what to do.

Using his shower seemed really personal, and yet, how much more personal could they get?

She went into his bathroom and took a shower.

When she returned to the bedroom, wrapped in an oversized towel, Loopy was there, head resting on her outstretched paws.“You lost, too?”

Thunder rumbled again and the dog scooted across the floor to wedge her head under the bed.

Sofia petted the dog before getting dressed.

She went downstairs, sent a couple of emails from her phone, called her mother to let her know she was spending the night as a guest of the Running Wind.Her mother was concerned about her being so far away but said she was glad that the house had so many bedrooms.She hadn’t burdened her mother with the information that she might be sharing Cade’s.
