her and gazed upon those fabulous long legs of hers. Then he trailed his finger along her thigh. “Your legs are sexy, and they please me very much.” She murmured a thank-you, sounding more breathy than anything else.
Yes, she had been perfectly presented to him as he requested, and she stunned him. He instructed most of his subs to alter their appearance to his liking. He demanded some grow their hair longer since short hair did nothing for him, stop tanning since he enjoyed creamy, untouched skin, and wax their pussy instead of shave because it left a smoother feel, but Marley did all these things. Already she had done everything right without even knowing it.
Her mouth was slightly parted as if she couldn't pass enough air through her nose. Reed knelt and nudged her thighs open. Her pussy was bare except for the thin line pointing the way to her clit, just how he liked it. “You've got a pretty pussy.” He raised his hand and cupped her, then squeezed the heated skin. “Always keep it like this."
Marley moaned. Reed moved his fingers back slightly and felt the wet warmth beneath his touch. Her sensitive skin was already damp, and he hadn't even shown her anything. Oh, how she teased him. “You've done very well."
"Thank you, Sir."
Reed rejoiced to hear her address him as she should, and he'd also commend Raven for how well she'd prepared Marley. “You will need to choose a word that will be your safe word. If things go out of your comfort zone, you can say this word and I will stop."
"Stop the scene completely, Sir?"
He shook his head. “I will move on to something else. This is how we will build trust. You will have a way out if you need it, but I warn you not to use it unless necessary. Believe that I know what you can manage and I would not do anything I don't think you can handle."
She paused, clearly considered her word, then grinned. “Pact, Sir. That's the word I'll use."
Reed nodded, finding her safe word sweet and appropriate. “Very well.” He pressed his palm against her clit. She moaned. “My rules are not hard to follow. Whenever you please me, I will pleasure you in return. If you don't, I will force you to earn your reward.” He circled his palm to roll her clit beneath his hand, and her eyes fluttered closed. “Ah, beautiful...” He withdrew. “You have not earned that much pleasure yet."
He left her and strode toward the cart. There he removed the linen to reveal ropes, his flogger, and a crop. He took the smaller of the two crimson ropes, which he'd picked because he knew the color would be a stunning contrast against the black leather corset, her dark hair, and her pale skin.
Marley glanced at the rope before her molten eyes returned to his.
"Hold your hands out in front of you,” Reed said.
She responded instantly.
He took one end of the rope and tied a French bowline knot. Once he had the loop completed, he slipped the rope over her wrists, then tightened the knot. He stepped in behind her, trailed his hand over her ass, and gave it a slap before he made another knot. “Bring your right arm behind your back.” She complied, and he put the rope over her other wrist. With only a small amount of rope remaining, he pulled Marley's wrists together. There he tied a square knot, stabilizing the hold.
He moved in front of her to find desire flashing in her eyes. Not a surprise. At the restaurant, she'd squirmed in her seat when he discussed the possibility of being bound, and her reaction told him she'd become aroused by the restraint. To be sure she felt safe, even if her eyes said as much, he voiced the question. “Being bound is a wonderful feeling, isn't it?"
"Yes, Sir, very much."
"I'm pleased to hear it, because you look stunning presented this way to me.” He ran his fingers over the swells of her breasts. “It accentuates you here.” He pulled back her shoulder, then grasped her hip. “You look even more beautiful when you arch your back a little. I want you to
