“Ok, now on to the serious questions.” McKenna clicked on her recorder and focused every ounce of her energy on Luke.
Chapter Eighteen
Tag hit the end button on his phone at the same time McKenna walked through the door. Turning in his chair at the small desk, he looked up at her and was surprised to see a smile on her face.
“The interview went well?” Not that he hadn’t expected it to, but Tag was well aware of how hard Luke could be on people. He definitely wasn’t the most sociable, but ever since he fell in love with Sierra and Cole, he had changed. Not that he would admit it.
“It did.” Making a beeline for her computer, she barely spared him a glance, which bothered him for some reason.
He knew she was probably going to work on her article, but he had at least been hoping for a minute of her attention. Didn’t look like he was going to get even a few seconds.
Turning back to his computer screen, Tag tried to pretend that her shrug off didn’t bother him. That didn’t work, so he opened his instant messenger and found her name in his contact list.
He typed, Know what happens when I get ignored? And hit enter.
No, what? Was the reply a few seconds later.
I get a sudden urge to... pull out my toys
Thought you didn’t have any toys
I never said that
You implied it
Want to see my toys?
Yes
Tag honestly didn’t expect that answer, so as he looked at the three small letters glaring back at him from the screen, he had to readjust his slacks.
Don’t tease me, McKenna
Or what?
The woman was going to kill him.
That’s it
Tag didn’t wait for a response. He stood abruptly and stormed over to the sofa where McKenna was sitting. He easily removed her laptop from her grasp and sat it on the coffee table behind him before taking her hand and helping her to stand. The moment she was on her feet, he tossed her over his shoulder and carried her to his bedroom.
Her laughter made his cock throb harder. And the way she pinched his butt made him laugh.
Putting her back on her feet, Tag pulled McKenna close and pressed his lips to hers. He’d been thinking about this all day, and now that she was back, he was ready to give her a brief introduction to a couple of his toys.
“Don’t move.”
McKenna’s body went rigid, and the smile disappeared from her beautiful mouth, but Tag could see the passion reflected in the multi-colors of her eyes. She was instantly turned on which only made him want her more.
Tag retreated to the other side of the room and the armoire where he kept his clothes. Among other things.
After rummaging around for a couple of minutes, more for effect than anything, he returned to her side, not bothering to hide what he had retrieved. “Turn around.”
McKenna turned but not before Tag saw the hint of another smile at the corners of her mouth.
He set the items on the bed in front of her while he slowly removed her clothes, placing kisses on her smooth skin as he went along. Hell, he would’ve been happy to do that for hours, but he could feel the tension in her well sculpted muscles.
They were standing at the end of the four poster bed, which was perfect for what he had in mind. Keeping her facing toward the mattress and away from him, Tag took one of her hands and attached a soft, leather cuff to her wrist before attaching the clip on the other end to the hook at the top of the post. He continued to do the same with her other arm, then he used another set of cuffs to fasten her ankles to the hooks at the bottom of each post.
He took a step back and admired his handy work. Truly, standing before him was the sexiest woman he’d ever laid his eyes on. With her red hair still clipped at the back of her head, he was able to admire the graceful column of her neck, the smooth contour of her shoulders, and the slender curve of her waist. Not to mention her delectable ass.
“Are you shaking?” Tag asked when he noticed her trembling slightly.
“No.” She didn’t sound very convincing, but Tag heard the humor in the one word.
“Have you ever been tied up, McKenna?”
“No.” That did sound convincing.
“Are you nervous?”
“Nervous, no. Anxious, yes.”
Tag moved closer, removing the clip and allowing all of that glorious red silk to fall around her shoulders, down her back.
“What are you anxious for?”
“You to touch me.”
Tag liked that McKenna didn’t hesitate in answering his questions. She wasn’t shy when it came to what she wanted, and she obviously had enough experience to know that she’d get exactly what she wanted if she played along.
Using the tip of his finger, he followed the gentle curve of her waist, over her hip, then beneath the luscious curve of her ass. He didn’t go any further, just simply reversed the motion until he reached the gentle swell of her breast. His other hand followed suit, performing the same motion on the opposite side until he had both hands cupping her breasts and his chest was pressed against her back.
