Surrender

His eyes widened as he raised his hand, his fingers gliding over his jaw. The look on his face could only be described as incredulous.

“I must say I wasn’t expecting that. You are quite full of surprises,” he murmured as he flexed his jaw. She didn’t know how to respond as she hadn’t expected to do that.

“I’m leaving now,” she finally gasped as she turned to run away.

“Oh, you’re not going anywhere, Ari. You’ve asked me about punishment before. Well, you’ll find out about it right now. ”

Ari screamed as he quickly picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. Fear, and yet a strange excitement, overtook her body as his hand came up and smacked her on the ass.

“Stop wiggling. The more you fight me, the more intense your punishment will be,” Rafe said with excitement running through his voice. When he stopped to pick up a few silk ties, Ari’s eyes rounded with nerves. What was he planning on doing to her?

Chapter Thirty-Five

Ari’s stomach trembled as Rafe set her down on the cold tile floor. She immediately tugged against his hold on her arm, but she wasn’t going anywhere.

“Rafe, stop. This is insane. We both said some things, did some stuff. All’s forgiven. Let’s just pretend this never happened,” she pleaded with him as he turned a knob inside the shower and a forceful jet of water began flowing.

“Too late, Ari. You did two things wrong. Calling me by my first name now doesn’t help you. ”

“Fine, how about I call you, ass**le, or demon spawn!”

“You’re not helping,” he said, an obvious smile in his voice. He was enjoying himself.

He picked her back up, and though she struggled against him, it made zero difference. He far out-powered her. Much too quickly, he had her hands secured together and then the soft sash he’d grabbed was holding her prisoner against the wall of the shower. He’d tied it to what looked like a bar on his shower wall.

Water cascaded over her still clothed body as he stepped back and stripped off his own clothes. She couldn’t turn her gaze away as he stepped inside the large space and his growing erection brushed against her hip.

“You fight this the whole way, but your body doesn’t lie, Ari. That’s unadulterated desire burning in your eyes. The pinch in your ni**les is them reaching out for me to take hold of them. The wet heat dripping from your body is you preparing for me to slam myself deep inside you. You’re ready for this – for me. Let yourself go,” he whispered as his thick staff leapt against her hip.

She shook her head, refusing to cave. She couldn’t give him all the power. He’d never stop drinking from her if she did.

“Time for you to learn why it’s not a good idea to defy me,” he whispered next to her ear before he took the lobe between his teeth and softly bit down.

Shudders racked her body as his mouth traveled down her neck. So far she really wasn’t seeing a negative to defying him. If it ended like this, maybe she should be calling him names more often.

Suddenly his mouth was gone and then she was hearing a ripping sound as he tore the shirt she was wearing. He tossed the saturated material to the back of the shower as he ripped off her panties next, leaving her na**d and trapped before him.

She moved forward, scooting to the wall as his hands reached for her ankles. Soon, her feet were spread apart and he had them secured, effectively trapping her with her body wide open to him.

“You think pain comes in just one form, Ari?”

“Yes,” she trembled.

“You’d be wrong. You see, I’ve learned how to get what I want without beating a woman. I’ve learned how to gain control without being, what was it you’ve called me – Satan. I know I can hurt you if I want. I’m obviously bigger – stronger. There are many forms of torture in the world. ”

“What are you going to do?” she asked as he circled around her. The trepidation of the unknown was worse than if he were to just get it over with.

“Do you like how your body feels as it builds up to an earth shattering orgasm? What about the feeling as you glide over that edge into sweet bliss? Does that make you tremble, Ari? Can you feel your body growing hotter – wetter – tighter?” he asked as his hand slid down the curve of her hip, then slid around and glided inside her.

“Rafe…” she groaned.

“What, Ari?”

“Please. I was wrong. I want to have sex with you,” she pleaded.

“We will, Ari, but you don’t get to cum. ”

“What?” she gasped as his finger moved in and out of her. She couldn’t understand what he was saying. She strained to take his fingers deeper, but he pulled out, leaving her panting.
