He merely stepped away from the door and moved further into the apartment. I followed him inside and shut the door.
“Look, about earlier...” I started but he cut me off.
“It is none of my business. I was a little disappointed to see that you had lied to me but it is not something that I can’t get over.”
“Lied to you?” I asked. Confusion clouded my mind.
“I asked you last night had you received a better offer. And you denied it. I see now that you had. Tell me, Carrie, what could he give you that I didn’t?” David’s voice remained cold and clinical. It was almost as though he were discussing the pros and cons of an account at the firm.
“David, you don’t understand—I didn’t receive a better offer.”
“Carrie, I’m really not interested in what you get up to in your free time. I understand now why you could not agree to my proposition and why you were so confused.”
“Stop it!” I yelled. I lifted my hands and ran them through my hair. He was being deliberately obstinate. If he would only stop for a moment then I could explain everything.
He watched me, his dark eyes filled with hurt and accusation. It surprised me to see such emotion there. In a moment it was gone and once again his eyes were unreadable.
“I didn’t get a better offer. I wasn’t lying. What happened earlier was a huge misunderstanding. One I hope you can shed some light on. I take it you know Robert Hatcher?”
David had the good grace to look surprised. “What has Robert got to do with any of this?” Understanding slid across David’s face. “It was Robert. You slept with Robert Hatcher.” His voice stabbed the words at me and I covered my face with my hand.
“No. I didn’t sleep with anyone. Why are you so determined to believe that I did? David, I’m here because I’ve made my choice. I want to agree to your proposition. Whatever it entails, I want it, all of it. I want what you can give me.”
He looked sceptical as he paced around the room like a caged animal. “I heard him there, Carrie. I heard what he said.”
I moved towards him and put my arm on his shoulder. He froze for a second and looked down at where I held him. When he turned towards me the look in his eyes surprised me. There was an intensity deep within him that threatened to burn me if I got too close.
“I’m bad for you, Carrie. Look at what I’ve put you through already. Are you sure this is what you want?”
I swallowed back my fear and let my feelings for the man before me bury it deep within me. “Tell me what I have to do.” I whispered the words.
“Give me one week. You will be mine for one whole week starting from now. If after that time you decide that this is not for you, if it is too much, then so be it, I will release you and you can go on to live your own life. But for this one week, Carrie, you will be mine completely. Everything I say you will do. Do you think you can do that?”
I nodded and then remembered what he had told me before. He needed to hear me say the words. “Yes. I can do that.”
“For one week I will be your master. You will not touch another man unless I agree to it first.”
“Yes, Master...” The words tripped off my tongue. It sounded so easy.
David growled and swept me up into his arms. His kiss was bruising and when he bit my lip I moaned. When he drew away from me my knees were weak and my head swam with lust. I had not realised until he kissed me just how much I craved his touch.
“When you are around me unless I tell you otherwise you will wear the clothes I pick out for you. Or you will remain naked. Is that clear?”
Very slowly he tugged my t-shirt off and unclipped my bra. My jeans quickly followed until I was down to my underwear. He turned me around and pushed my upper body down across the marble. The cold surface bit into my skin and my nipples hardened.
A stinging blow had me jerking upwards. Heat spread out from the place he had spanked me. His hand smoothed across my skin, caressing the sore area.
“When I tell you something you will answer ‘Yes, Master’.”
My breathing was coming in shaky gulps and it didn’t even occur to me to answer. When his hand came down on the exposed flesh of my arse again I jerked up and let out a moan.
“Yes, Master.” The words came out in one long shaking breath.
I spread my legs apart just a little. My knickers were wet and I longed to feel David press his fingers against my most sensitive area.
His laugh made me blush and I tried to pull my legs back together but another stinging blow halted me.
“I like it when you behave wantonly. It lets me know how much you enjoy what we share.” He turned me back around to face him once more. His kisses were soft and gentle and within moments I was wrapping my arms around his neck. I wanted him. No, I needed him. He pulled out of my grip. The look in his eyes was all dark, all predator. I knew then I should have been afraid but I wasn’t.
David tugged his tie off and quickly wrapped it around my wrists. The silk bit into my skin as he pulled it tight but it was tempered with pleasure as he nibbled down along the side of my neck.
Effortlessly he lifted me onto the kitchen counter and pushed me down onto the hard marble surface. He pulled my hands up above my head and wrapped the end of his tie around the taps.
He stepped away from me and looked down at my body. Part of me wanted to cringe away from his penetrating gaze. I was so flawed. Why he wanted me in the first place was beyond me.
He walked away and I strained against the tie to watch where he was going. He disappeared into a room beside his bedroom and when he returned he was carrying something.
Carefully he laid the items out on the counter beside my naked body. I struggled as he lifted the blindfold and pushed it down over my eyes.
“Remember, Carrie. One week. You agreed to this.”
His words made me go still. Desperately I wanted to see what else he was doing. The sound of buzzing made me jump. Butterflies turned to moths in my stomach as the buzzing grew close to my ears. When it touched against my nipples I jumped and moaned. The vibrations cascaded down through my body, sending ripples of desire down to my pussy. It was as though my nipples and my pussy were connected.
When the vibrations moved down over my abdomen I was a little disappointed until I realised where it was heading. David’s deft fingers pushed the panties I was wearing to one side as he pushed the little vibrating toy in against my clit. He secured it there by pushing my panties back over it. It buzzed and tingled against my clit. I couldn’t stop the moans of pleasure that spilled from my lips.
