As Ruby got onto the bed and lay on her side, Yvonne slipped out of her dress, revealing a matching black bra and panties made of delicate mesh trimmed with lace. Ruby stared, transfixed. Had Yvonne planned this, or did she simply walk around every single day wearing sexy lingerie underneath her fitted black dresses?
Yvonne climbed onto the bed and pushed Ruby back down to it, straddling her. Ruby drew in a hard breath.
“Have you missed this?” Yvonne drew a hand down Ruby’s chest, tracing her fingers idly over her breasts. “Have you missed me?”
“Yes,” Ruby murmured. “So much.”
Yvonne dipped low, her lips brushing Ruby’s ear. “As much as I’ve enjoyed watching you squirm all week, I’ve missed having a toy to play with.”
Yvonne kissed Ruby behind her ear, using her lips to draw a line of kisses down the side of Ruby’s throat, all the way to Ruby’s chest. Ruby trembled. After so long without Yvonne’s touch, every inch of Ruby’s skin was hypersensitive, every nerve in her body primed.
Yvonne teased Ruby’s nipple with her lips, coaxing a moan from deep in Ruby’s chest. Her hand wandered down between Ruby’s legs. Ruby’s thighs quivered involuntarily.
“How long has it been since you last came?” Yvonne asked.
“I can’t remember.” Ruby was suddenly finding it difficult to think. Her mind was a fog of arousal.
“I hope you haven’t been playing with yourself. Not without your Mistress.”
Ruby shook her head. Although Yvonne hadn’t explicitly forbidden it, Ruby was all too aware that her pleasure belonged to Yvonne alone.
“Good.” Yvonne ran her fingertips down Ruby’s slit, pressing the silk of her panties into her. “You must be dying for release by now.”
“God, yes.” Ruby was getting wetter by the second.
“That’s too bad.” Yvonne pulled back slowly. “Because I’m not going to give it to you.”
What? Ruby groaned. She should have known Yvonne wasn’t done toying with her.
“Oh, Ruby.” Yvonne shook her head. “Did you really think I was going to let you get away with this? Didn’t I tell you if you kept trying to seduce me, there would be consequences?”
Ruby bit the inside of her cheek, trying to distract herself from the fire raging within her. This was agonizing.
“Perhaps I should leave you here, as you are. A few more days should be long enough for you to learn your lesson.”
Ruby bit back a curse, her head tipping back. “I can’t take any more of this. I’m sorry! I won’t do it again.”
Yvonne considered Ruby’s words for a moment. “I’m a fair Mistress. Perhaps I should give you a chance to demonstrate just how contrite you are.”
“Yes,” Ruby begged. “Anything.”
“Anything?” Yvonne folded her arms over her chest. “You really mean that, don’t you?”
Ruby nodded. “Yes, Mistress.”
“I appreciate your dedication, but for now, the task I’m giving you is a simple one. Make me come. If you can manage that, then perhaps I’ll consider letting you come.”
Ruby flushed all over. “Yes, Mistress.” She’d been waiting for this chance since that night Yvonne had fucked her in her bedroom.
“One last thing.”
Yvonne leaned over and opened the top drawer of the nightstand. The drawer’s contents made a metallic clink as she rustled around inside it. What was she looking for? Ruby’s mind raced with all the possibilities, each more intriguing than the last.
Finally, Yvonne produced a small velvet pouch from the drawer. She reached inside it, pulling out a long, thin silver chain. At the ends of the chain were two small silver clips. Each clip had a string of red rubies with small diamonds in between dangling from it. Each clip had a large ruby dangling from it like a teardrop.
Yvonne dangled the chain from her finger. “I had them made just for you. I thought it was time I bought my wife some jewelry.”
Were those nipple clamps? Ruby stared at them, her lips parting slightly. Yvonne’s twisted sense of humor aside, Ruby had to admit that they were beautiful. The silver chain was fine and delicate, and Ruby had no doubt that the gemstones were real.
Yvonne brushed Ruby’s hair behind her shoulders, out of the way of her breasts. “I’ll put them on.”
Yvonne took Ruby’s pebbled nipple in her fingertips, attaching a clamp to it. She turned a knob on the side so that the clamp squeezed tighter, making Ruby’s nipple tingle and burn. Ruby sucked in a breath. The clamps were deceptive in their delicateness, the weight of the jewels hanging from them tugging at her nipple. By the time Yvonne finished attaching the other clamp, that tingling she felt had traveled all the way down to where Ruby’s thighs met.
Yvonne drew back, admiring her handiwork. “Don’t you look delectable?”
She gave the chain hanging from Ruby’s chest a gentle pull. Ruby gasped, a shock wave of pleasure going through her.
“Now, where were we?” Yvonne took a few stray pillows and arranged them at her back, reclining against them. She slid her hands down to her waist and peeled her panties down her legs before parting her thighs. “Go on. Prove to me that you deserve to be released from your punishment.”
Without hesitation, Ruby crawled between Yvonne’s legs, gliding a hand up the inside of Yvonne’s thigh. She wanted to savor the moment, to take things slow and explore every inch of the other woman’s body, but she was dying to come herself. Yvonne had kept her on edge for so long, and Ruby ached for her. Only she could give Ruby what she needed.
But first, Ruby had to give her Mistress what she needed.
Ruby buried herself between Yvonne’s thighs, her head filling with the other woman’s sweet scent, her lips grazing the soft hair that covered Yvonne’s nether lips. Ruby slipped her tongue between them, relishing the woman’s silky heat.
A murmur rose from Yvonne’s chest. “Yes. Show me how much you’ve missed your Mistress’s touch.”
Ruby drew her tongue up to Yvonne’s clit and painted soft spirals around it. A deep sigh fell from Yvonne’s lips, invigorating Ruby. She
