eyes. Blindfold! Oh, God! Without her sight every other sense ramped up, eroding her control even more.
    Next she felt the smooth glide of the flogger down the length of her legs, tracing the outside then drawing a line up the inside of one thigh and down another. He prodded gently at her pussy, rubbing the overheated flesh against the knot pressing into it then doing the same thing in her ass. When a moan escaped her lips he did it again, and again.
    And without warning, the strips of the flogger bit sharply into her ass. She jerked at the sudden sharp contact, causing even further friction with the knots.
    “Ten strokes, girl.” Garrett’s voice was husky, and taut with need despite his release. “Count them. Out loud.”
    “Ten,” she said after the first full one fell. “Nine. Eight, Seven.”
    With each blow the leather things kissed with the sharpness of a knife, again and again. Pain radiated out from her buttocks where they landed, and her thighs, until from her waist to her knees she was one large area of heat and pain. And each stroke made her pussy clench, the orgasm deep inside her trying to claw its way out. She couldn’t even squeeze her thighs together to control it. 
    By the time she got to one she was afraid she would come without his permission, disappointing both of them. A good sub practiced discipline and she wanted to be a good sub, for him. Maybe more than she’d ever wanted to for anyone else.
    She heard the thud of the flogger as it fell to the floor. She waited, breathless for the words she so desperately needed to hear. The words of permission. Instead, Garrett unfastened her ankles and wrists and turned her over onto her back, mindful of the blazing soreness of her skin. Then he slid the blindfold off, and she blinked at the sudden light, even though it was subdued
    “Sir?” She would not embarrass herself by begging, but oh God, she wanted to.
    “I wanted this since the minute I laid eyes on you,” Garrett ground out.
    In the next moment he rolled on a condom, lifted her legs to wrap them around his waist and drove into her, fully seating himself.
    “Ohhhh” The word came out on a sigh of pleasure.
    “I’m going to fuck you, Sage. Put my stamp on you. People will see you and know you are mine.” He slid back slightly and thrust in again. “We’ll negotiate until you’re comfortable with everything, but know this. I am not sharing you with anyone else. Not now, not ever. Any problem with that?”
    His eyes burned into hers, and what she saw in them gave her such a sense of belonging, of completeness, she had no desire to object.
    She managed a smile. “Not a one.”
    “Fucking damn right.”
    One more retreat and thrust with his hips and, with her heels digging into the small of his back and his hands braced on the cross he drove her to an orgasm that shattered her with its intensity. She had no idea how long they rocked together, shuddering, shaking, locked together in the intensity of the act.
    When the last aftershock had finally subsided, when they were both breathing somewhat normally, when her heartbeat had settled to a steadier beat, Garrett touched his forehead to hers.
    “Mine,” he growled.
    She nodded, unable to from a sensible word.
    Then he did the unexpected. He touched his mouth to hers, eased his tongue inside and kissed her with such intensity her entire soul was affected. He licked the soft inside of her mouth, her gums, even her teeth. Coaxed her tongue to dance with his. Sucked it into his own mouth. When he broke the kiss he traced the outline of her lips with the tip of his tongue then took her in a kiss even more ferocious and possessive.
    “Mine,” he repeated. “And make no mistake. You will be cared for better than you ever dreamed possible.”
    She smiled and caressed his cheek with a shaking hand. “I believe you.”
    He frowned. “You do like horses and cattle, right?”
    She burst out laughing. She just couldn’t help it. “I do, but if
