“Frostbite?” James murmured as he shook his head. “That’s the least of our worries, Sax.”
He opened the door and stepped inside. He had left explicit instructions for her in the letter he had left in the living room before he went to Jesse’s. He had been careful not to voice those instructions for fear of her outright rejection. If she didn’t want this, then the luggage on the porch would have been a more humane way to cut his heart from his chest. Of course, a bullet would be more permanent.
“She should be in her room,” he murmured. “Either restrained to the bed or waiting with the gun.”
Sax chuckled behind him, and in the sound James could feel the other man’s excitement. Sax was one of the few men who hadn’t known Ella during her marriage to Jase. He had wanted his partner in this next experience with Ella to be free of any preconceived notions or ideas of loyalty. Ella was his. Sax would continue to join in periodic threesomes with him and Ella if this first session went as James hoped.
Just as Jesse would continue with Cole and Tess until he took that final step in securing his own woman. After marriage, there was no need, no desire to touch another woman. The commitment was strong, the need so extreme that other women held no attraction. It was often a confusing, hotly debated issue among the men who shared in this lifestyle. The need to see their women experiencing that pleasure of an added element to their sexuality. The periodic addition of another man, and in one case he knew of, another woman.
He stopped at Ella’s bedroom door, took a deep breath and opened it slowly as Sax leaned against the doorframe. God help him. He nearly came in his slacks. She had buckled the straps to her ankles as he ordered, and her arm into one of the wrist restraints. She was staring at the ceiling, her breathing hard and rough as he walked slowly into the room.
He moved to the free wrist restraint and bent over to buckle it slowly. He caressed her wrist, feeling the hard throb of blood in the vein beneath her skin. She gazed up at him, a shade of fear mixing with the excitement in her gaze.
“Are you sure, Ella?” He sat on the side of the bed, cupping her cheek gently as he stared down at her.
She was trembling. He could feel the fear and excitement traveling through her. It would heighten the sensations, he knew; make the arousal, the coming orgasm more intense, hotter and brighter. He could barely hold back his own anticipation. He had waited, longed for this more years than he could count.
“No.” She breathed out roughly. “I’m not sure of anything right now, James. Don’t ask me questions like that.”
His lips quirked into a soft, gentle smile. Despite her words, he could see that she was more than ready. Her br**sts were swollen, her ni**les hard little points atop the firm mounds.
“You’ll only be restrained until we think you’re ready to be released,” he promised her softly as he stood by the bed and began to undress.
The word “we” had a small, strangled whimper escaping her throat. He watched the shiver that worked over her body, the way her ni**les tightened, hardened further.
“Is the plug still inside you?” he asked her gently as he dropped his shirt to the floor, aware that Sax was slowly undressing behind him.
“No.” Her voice was low, breathless. “You told me to take it out.”
“You followed my directions exactly?” He kept his voice firm, stern.
Her eyes were wide, dark as she watched him, careful not to look toward his hips. Nervousness and excitement had her body quivering on a finely balanced edge of desire and lust.
“Exactly.” Her voice trembled.
He stripped off his pants and boxers, his hand going to the near-to-bursting erection that stood out from his body. He was so damned hard he knew he wouldn’t make it five minutes if he didn’t find relief soon. A relief he knew her sweet, suckling mouth would provide him.
“Sax, loosen the chains on the footboard. I need her sweet mouth first, or I won’t make it.”
“I don’t blame you. She’s beautiful, James.” Sax spoke for the first time as he moved to the bed, his own c**k thick and hard as he stared down at Ella.
Her gaze flickered to him, her eyes widening as they caught the sight of his cock, as hard and long as James, if not a bit more. Her gaze flew up to him and he could see the fear in her eyes.
“I’m scared,” she whispered, her hands curling into fists as he sat down beside her on the bed again.
“The fear is good, to a point, Ella,” he told her gently. “You have to trust me, though. You have to trust that I won’t allow you to be harmed, that I will never threaten you, never cause you undue pain in any way. Without that trust, baby, we’re wasting our time here.”
His hand reached out to cup one of her full br**sts, his fingers gripping the nipple firmly. She breathed in roughly, the little point tightening further. Leaning to her he drew one of the hard points into his mouth, relishing the thick moan that vibrated at her throat.
When his head rose, he was pleased to see the flush of lust, of deepening desire coloring her once pale face.
“I love you, Ella,” he said softly. “Above all things, I love you.”
She nodded her head sharply. “Fine. Fine.” She was breathing hard and deep, then her eyes widened, shock flaring in her expression as her gaze went between her thighs.
James followed her look and his lips quirked into a smile. Sax couldn’t resist soft, wet pu**y, and he was lapping at the creamy mound now with the intent concentration of a man enjoying a prized dessert.
He couldn’t help but watch, and Sax gave a show worthy of any p**n star as he made certain each touch, each stroke could be clearly seen. His tongue ran through the narrow slit, parting it, gathering the thick juices on the tip of it before he licked them into his mouth and started again. Slow, teasing strokes of his tongue that circled her pink pearl clit then returned to her tender opening to start all over again.
Then his fingers parted her, his dark flesh an erotic contrast to her pale skin. When he had her lips flared open, his tongue distended then disappeared slowly inside her vagina. James’ cock jerked at the sight of it, imagining the feel of her pu**y gripping the other man’s tongue, her muscles rippling around it as he f**ked in and out of the hot channel.
“James.” He saw her hips jerk, the muscles of her abdomen tightening as her body tensed, her legs moving against the restraints.
