underneath, and she knew he was aware of how she slept, because he watched her change behind the dressing partition while he hid from Annett under the bed. At the time, she’d slowly removed her clothes before stepping into her sleepwear, because she was fully aware he watched her.
Katja wanted him to see her completely nude, because he didn’t have the opportunity when he stripped off her top while tied to the tree that afternoon. She liked being able to pretend to forget he was there as she exposed her body to him completely, turning around several times as she removed one article of clothing at a time. Her tactics evidently had some effect on him.
Katja reached out for him, aware how much more she wanted him after he licked between her legs and made her feel things she never knew she could experience. Truly, she wanted him there again. After the mild pain left, she decided she liked his dominance and the fact that when it came down to it, he listened to her commands to stop. His compliance made her think that maybe Noreen was right that sleeping with a man would give her influence over him, not the other way around. Then again, maybe sleeping with him would make both of them crumble at each other’s needs.
“Am I allowed to make love to you?”
“No.” She whispered and shook her head. She was too nervous for that, and dreaded the stinging pain. His tongue she could endure with great pleasure but his finger or penis was too much.
He teetered where he stood. He was tired, but debated crawling in next to her. Katja had no idea what made him linger. Since he was so keen to touch her, he couldn’t be shy or nervous. “You won’t come to my bed?”
“I would, but I know myself. I’ll pursue you; I’ll kiss every inch of you, until you’re willingly change your mind. I will have you.”
“No, you’ll sleep. You’re tired, and I’m telling you that you don’t have to sleep on the floor anymore. Just don’t let my father catch you in my bed.”
“No. I will pursue you, Katja. I’m more experienced and older. I know my cravings would be satisfied while divulging in yours. I have no hesitation, and want to sleep with you. I decided weeks ago that I wanted you. I’ve never had to wait so long for a woman, and you rule me with your restraint. I plan on weakening it, until you’re mine.”
She smiled, liking the sound of ruling over him. Her father’s lover was right about controlling men after all. At least he wouldn’t be controlling her like a slave. “If I get in bed with you, I’m getting in to prove something, Katja.”
“What?”
“I am not your slave. In bed, you submit to what I want, and tonight I want sex.”
When she smiled, because of his determination to have her, he crawled into her bed, but he didn’t rest his head on a pillow. He gathered her hem and began to raise her garment to her waist. He nuzzled her inner thigh, and nibbled as he lifted her gown. His lips and tongue was exactly what she wanted. She combed her fingers into his hair, and moaned so he’d know he was going in the right direction. When he exposed her patch, he bit her gown and drew it up with his teeth before licking her lower stomach near her sex. As his fingers followed the fabric, she trembled when he began to play with her hair.
“No, don’t.” She slapped his hand away.
“You don’t know what I was doing.”
“I do, and it hurts.”
“I’ll say it again, you don’t know what I was doing. I was going to tease you.”
“I don’t find you touching me funny! It hurts!” She snapped, and tugged her gown down to cover herself. He smiled, abandoned arguing with her, and began to unbutton her top. “Don’t!” She resisted, but this time it was out of habit. She smacked his hand away. Protesting his every move seemed routine and comfortable. Denying him still meant she could change her mind, and not sleep with her slave or sleep with him a second time. But her resolve to refuse him diminished
