further.”
    “Okay.” Biting her bottom lip, she nodded.
    He jiggled his foot, waiting for her word.
    She dipped her chin, her cheeks growing even redder. “You can’t laugh, but the only word I can come up with is whiskers.”
    He hid his face in her neck, snickering. “Based on Whiskers the cat in your book?”
    “Yup.” She sniffed. “Don’t judge me.”
    He coughed to cover his laugh. “I’m not judging.”
    Leaning in, he shared a kiss with her then looped the tie around her wrists and fastened them to the headboard.
    “Tug on it.”
    She did as he requested. “It tightens around my wrists.”
    “I want you to feel safe. If you don’t like the feeling of being tied down, you can get out. Just grab the headboard and make me believe you’re still confined.”
    “You enjoy sex this way? Do you have other…toys?”
    The cautious way she asked made his heart skip a beat She was interested in trying it out.
    “Yes, but for now I won’t break out the big boys. I don’t keep all my tools here. Just a few to heighten the encounter.” He gave her another kiss. “Lay back and enjoy yourself.”
    He played with her breasts, tugging, pinching, and biting while devouring her luscious mouth in between. He almost went down on her again, but he couldn’t abstain any longer. After rechecking her bonds, making her hold onto the headboard’s iron slats, he climbed off her and pulled out a condom from his bedside drawer. He rolled it on, stroking his dick a few times, then concentrated on Erika.
    He knelt between her thighs, petting her cunt, a soft pelt thanks to being waxed and trimmed. He wanted her to grow it in for him, so he could shave it, rendering her bare for when he ran his tongue and mouth over her the next time. Yes, there would be a next time for everything he wanted to do with her.
    Hooking her legs over his shoulders, he kissed the inside of ankles. He fit a pillow under her hips, raising her up to his satisfaction. Her pussy glistened with dampness, and her inner thighs trembled.
    He slapped his palms on either side of her face, landing his lips on hers, stealing her breath. She ate at his mouth, whimpering, shifting her legs.
    “Now, remember your safe word.” Holding his cock, he thrust deep into her.
    She bit down on his bottom lip, bringing blood. His mind blanked, and he rammed into her, pumping fast. She tried meeting him with each motion, but she locked her legs around his shoulders and couldn’t keep her grip on the headboard.
    “More!” She arched her back.
    He sped up, rocking forward. Sweat trickled down the side of his face. Some dripped on Erika’s chest and stomach. Leaning down, he licked away the salty drops, clamping his mouth around her breast. He sucked hard, fucking her relentlessly as she cried out his name. He squeezed her thighs, wanting his fingerprints all over her, for her to remember their night together.
    Fuck, he wanted to come. She felt so damn good. But he held back his climax. Sliding in and out, her cunt drenched his cock while his balls slapped under her ass with each thrust. He lifted her legs higher, bending them until her knees met her chest. To his amazement she came from the new force of the position and the particular way he hit her G-spot.
    Never had a woman come so many times with him. He had yet to come once!
    He gave her more until she stilled, her eyes drifting shut. Worried she had passed out, he lowered her legs. He leaned forward, cupping her cheeks. Her eyelids flickered open, and she smiled. Laughing, he kissed her.
    “Erika, you are it. The one.” Moving his hands up, he gripped hers and came.
    His body jerking, he roared from the force of his release.
    “Max,” she whispered.
    Before he closed his eyes, he spotted the tears slipping down her cheeks. He licked them away then collapsed on her as the last of his orgasm petered off. Exhaustion swept over him. Damn, it was like he’d run a marathon.
    With little to no strength left, he rose up
