Excerpt (unedited) ... Lick of Darkness

EXCERPT ... “Do you know what would make this experience even better for you, Damon?” I asked pointedly, but in a tone that made it an enticing suggestion for him to find out. “What?” he asked curiously after a little bit of hesitation. “Mistress,” he added quickly and I smiled, even though he couldn’t see it. “Good boy,” I praised. I hope I’m not about to make a big mistake. “I’m going to uncuff you and attach your arms to an overhead suspension bar to give me access to your whole body.” Before I dropped both floggers down to the floor, Damon twisted his head around to peer over his shoulder, and I saw the suspicion enter his eyes. “You’ll love it,” I promised sultrily, lifting my brows while I smiled back at him. Squatting down, resting my butt on my upturned heels, I reached out and unfastened his left ankle, then moved over to release his right. When I stood back up, Damon was still peering over his shoulder with that suspicious look in his baby blues. “As a precaution, I’m going to pick up the chain that was attached to your collar, just in case you get some hair-brained idea this is your chance to escape … and I will let you know that I can wield it like a lasso,” I warned, narrowing my eyes and fixing him with my sternest, most authoritative face. He visibly flinched and I saw his Adam’s apple bob up and down as he swallowed nervously. Good. He fucking believes me. I stepped closer and reached up to free his left wrist. When his arm was free, he lowered it, clenching and unclenching his fingers into fists to encourage the blood to flow normally once again while I stepped around him to unfasten his right wrist. © Copyright Carol Delmornay 2019.
