Controlling Interest by Francesca Hawley

Something about him had changed. His focus had narrowed on
her, putting him utterly in the moment. His gaze struck her to the core, making
butterflies collide in her tummy and her nipples tighten.
    “Come here, Mouse.”
    Her breath hitched at the command in his tone. Without a
word of dissent or sass, she approached. He brought the rope over her head so
it lay against her chest like a very long necklace. She looked up at him.
    “Are you ready, love?” he asked.
    “Yes, Master.”
    “If you change your mind, use your safe word.”
    “I understand. May I caress you while you tie me?”
    “Not tonight. I need to concentrate.”
    Mouse nodded. If she couldn’t touch him, at least she could
look at him and feel his fingers as they manipulated the rope against her skin.
He stared at the rope where it rested along her breastbone.
    “I’m going to tie a series of knots down the rope.”
    “Pearls?”
    “Yes. Very good.”
    She dropped her gaze, only for it to be captured by Tor’s
impressive erection. While she stared at his cock, he reached forward and took
the rope in his hands. He created one knot at her breast bone just slightly
above her breasts. As the rope slid along her skin, she shivered. It was soft,
caressing her as it moved. He tied another knot just below her breasts then
another high on her abdomen and one low on her belly. Each touch of his fingers
or the rope teased her. Sensitized her, so she was almost painfully aware of
him. The rope now hung down along the center line of her body in front of her.
    “Now we reach a special knot,” he purred.
    He crouched in front of her with his hard cock straining
upward along his abdomen. She wanted to suck him so badly, but her only task
right now was to obey, so her hunger remained unanswered, her clit swollen and
throbbing. Tor looked up at her and their gazes locked. He grinned.
    “I think you’ll like this one…at least at first.”
    He took the two strands of loose rope in his fingers,
pulling it against her. His fingers slid between her pussy lips, pinpointing
her clit. She jumped at his touch then he rubbed the hard nub lightly, making
her squirm and her pussy dampen. He withdrew his touch, tying a knot before he
drew the rope between her thighs.
    “Widen your stance.”
    She obeyed, still watching him. He pulled the rope up in
back so it was drawn between her swollen pussy lips in front and between her
ass cheeks in back. The knot he’d tied rode just above her clit. She might
survive it if she didn’t move too much.
    “That doesn’t look quite right.” He parted her labia so he
could see where the knot fell, making her face flame. Tor’s stare made her feel
naughty…sexy. His brow crinkled as he studied the knot’s placement. “Nope. It’s
a little high, isn’t it, sweetheart?”
    “No, it’s fine.”
    He glanced up at her, grinning. “Oh no, Mouse. I’m not going
to let you off easy on this one. I want you wriggling every time that knot
presses against your clit.”
    “If you move the knot, I’ll be wriggling nonstop.”
    “Exactly.” He eased the knot enough so he could slide it.
“Reach behind you and hold the rope for me while I adjust this.”
    “Yes, Master.”
    He chuckled when she sighed. The rat. Yet, as the knot
pressed tight to her engorged clit, Mouse shuddered. God, it felt good. The
adjustment he made to the placement of the knot had her longing to reach down
and move it. The pressure was constant, making her breath quicken.
    “Very nice. Now turn around.” Mouse obeyed, releasing the
rope when he took it out of her hands. “Pull your ass cheeks apart.” She gasped
but complied. Her face heated as she imagined how she looked to him while he
surveyed her ass. The swipe of his finger against her tight asshole made her
jump again, emitting a little squeak. He laughed and stroked her again. This
time she didn’t jump. Instead she bit her lip, closing her eyes as he gently
caressed her. She pushed back toward his
