Releasing Kate by Cyna Kade

okay to hurt me. I just can’t do that.”
    “Not yet.”
    “Never!”
    “You don’t understand. I can and will convince you to agree to my demands. It doesn’t really require much. A few days, a few weeks. I can destroy your will and your sense of self-preservation. So if you don’t want to go where we are headed, you’d better run, Kate. Run far and run fast.”
    “I want you, Michael. I want sex with you. Regular sex, not this violence you’re describing. Let me go,” Kate demanded while pulling against her restraints.
    Michael continued pacing while he spoke. “Kate, I like hurting women and you, whether you’ll admit it or not, want to be hurt. It completes us in ways normal humans can’t understand. I long ago accepted what I am, as will you. I like seeing arousal in your eyes. Arousal I’ve caused while you’re tied up and helpless, totally dependent upon my will. I wish I liked vanilla sex. Sometimes I wish I were like other men. I wish we could just have sex,” he said as he turned toward her. “Kate, you saw my collection. I won’t be satisfied until I’ve done every one of those things to you. Do you want to be beaten? Do you want nipple clamps so tight you scream with agony? That’s what turns me on. You’ll find that it turns you on too. I will make you my slave and you’ll love that position. You’ll love my toys. You will submit to me and I will put you through hell and you’ll find satisfaction beyond anything you’ve ever imagined.”
    “There’s no way I will ever agree to your demands.”
    “No?” He quirked an eyebrow. “Then why are you so aroused by my descriptions? Why are you wet again? You’re not just fighting me, you’re fighting your biology. It would be easy to overwhelm you but you must want to be overwhelmed. You must want me to take you’ve places you’ve never been.”
    Kate shook her head.
    “You won’t believe me if I just tell you. I’m going to show you. You think you don’t need a man. I’m going to teach you about yourself. I’m going to teach you about the incredible sensations your body can produce when your mind is fully involved, not off on a fantasy. I’m going to teach you that you cannot survive without me,” he stated boldly, walking back to the bed so he could move his hands all over her body. “You’re mine whether you accept it now or not. It will be so easy to overwhelm your body. You are incredibly responsive. I don’t think I’ve ever met a woman as responsive as you,” he murmured. “Your mind will take a little longer. I’ve never pursued a woman with such a strong mind. It is an irresistible combination, both physical and mental strength. You are really quite unique.”
    He took one of her nipples in his mouth, gently licking and sucking. He glanced up and said, “If you’d only stop fighting yourself, stop fighting your desire to surrender entirely and place yourself in my hands, you could find nirvana.” He reached down and placed a finger on her clitoris. He pressed just a little.
    Kate wanted more. She squirmed, trying to increase the contact.
    “Surrender,” he said.
    “No,” she moaned even as she tried to move closer to his finger.
    Michael broke off all contact. He stood and stared down at her. His eyes glittered. “So be it,” he said. He reached over her. His scent filling her lungs as he untied her hands. He moved to the foot of the bed and freed her ankles then he moved back against the door and crossed his arms. “Get dressed.”
    Angered by his seeming indifference, Kate said, “Yes, master.”
    “Don’t call me master. The bondage and domination scene is a travesty of my powers. I don’t need a fake title to be your master.”
    Kate wanted to make him stand outside while she got dressed but she decided she’d pushed him far enough. She would be lucky to escape. Making demands would not improve his mood.
    “Surrender and everything will be much clearer. Your ancestry will see to that.”
    “I
