Page 53 of While He Breathes

Even as the words fall from my lips, I can’t believe I’ve said them aloud, but Orion stares down at me with amusement.

“I did promise that, didn’t I?”

I nod.

“And you were such a good girl.” He dips his head until his lips brush over mine softly. “How about this? I need to work for a little while this morning. You can come into the office and sit on the couch you were on this morning. You can do some digging into Lucas and see if you can figure out where he’s hiding.”

“And my orgasm?” I raise a brow.

He chuckles, the sound rolling over me and melting me into a puddle. “Oh, you’ll get your orgasm, sweet girl.”

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

ORION

She’s much more pliant this morning than I thought she would be.

I’m not so naïve to think that she’s done fighting me, because I know my girl better than that, but it’s been nice to take care of her. To wash and dry her, to dress her, and to brush her hair. To give her something as simple as her favorite cereal.

I don’t remember ever seeing it at her old apartment, but I’ve added it to the shopping list for my housekeeper to keep stocked for her.

Anything my girl wants, she gets.

Which brings us to now.

She sits on the couch with her legs up and her laptop sitting beside her as she waits for me.

Perhaps I shouldn’t torment her like this when she brought me to such an earth-shattering orgasm in the shower, but I warned her that every orgasm she has will be earned, and this one won’t be an exception to that rule.

I pull the remote-controlled vibrator from my pocket and watch as heat hits her cheeks.

Every single one of her reactions ruins me.

“Spread your legs for me, Ember.”

She considers me for a moment before doing as she’s told, and I don’t bother swallowing the groan seeing her bare pussy drags out of me.

“So pretty,” I murmur, running a finger through her folds. “Here’s what’s going to happen. You will get an orgasm, but it won’t be right away.”

She opens her mouth to argue, but I meet her with a hard stare that has her lips falling shut.

“As I was saying, you’re going to sit here while I work with this inside you.” I show her the toy before bringing it to her entrance and carefully slipping it into place. I pull the remote from my pocket and hold it between us, flicking it on to the lowest setting. “I’ll turn this on and off as I see fit as I work, and when I’m ready, you’ll be allowed to come. Okay?”

She looks as if she’ll argue, but instead nods slowly, biting down on her bottom lip and shifting her hips.

“You’ll keep your legs spread so I can see your cunt anytime I want, and you’ll keep your hands away from your pussy and tits. Okay?”

“Yes,” Ember whispers.

“Good girl.” I press a kiss to the top of her head before moving behind my desk. “Let me know if you find anything of use about Lucas.”

She nods and opens her laptop with shaky hands.

I place the remote down beside my keyboard and dial it up a couple of notches, reveling in the moan she lets out as the intensity increases.

We fall into an easy silence, both of us working away.

Occasionally, I’ll turn the toy off altogether, and other times I set it to its highest setting and leave her writhing for a few seconds before dialing it back again.
