I complied and he hooked his fingers under the hem ofmy sleeping shirt and pulled it off over my head. I let my arms fall back to myside and shivered as he ran his fingers gently down my arms before taking mywrists and pulling them behind me. He slipped the rope around my wrists andtightened it, pausing to kiss my shoulder as my heart picked up speed.
"Okay?" he whispered against my skin.
"Yeah."
He nipped me gently, before going back to my arms.
I'd expected him to simply tie some knots but whateverhe was doing was more involved than that, as he twined the rope up my arms,tying knots as he went. Then he hooked the rope through my upper arms, pullingtight until I had no choice but to pull my shoulders back and open my chest. Hewrapped the rope over my shoulder, between my breasts and around my back,bringing it up over my other shoulder, and down again before tying it off to myhands. This framed my breasts which were on fairly prominent display because Ihad my shoulders pulled back.
"Okay?" he asked again.
"Yeah," I breathed, heart thudding in mychest, breath coming fast, but not in fear. Mal was in complete control, but Iwas comfortable.
"The only problem with tying your arms behind youis you can't see the knots." He sounded a little saddened.
"Take a picture. I'll look later."
The slow caress across my shoulders paused and hekissed my neck again before he grabbed one of our phones off my nightstand. Whenhe was done his attention was back to me as he ran his fingers down the frontof my body, over my breasts. He paused at my nipples, tweaking them gently withhis fingers, rolling them into hard peaks. I leaned back against him, and hesupported me as he played my body like an instrument. His heightened senses lethim know exactly how I was responding to his touch, and he lingered in theplaces I liked the most, though he paid attention to every bit of skin with hisfingers.
He hadn't even gotten below my hips yet, and I wasalready panting with need. It amazed me how much being tied relaxed me. Theonly thing I had to do was trust Mal and enjoy the ride. He pressed against me,my arms trapped between us, and I could feel his hard arousal against my hands.Clearly, he was enjoying this as much as I was.
I moaned as he finally worked his fingers lower,sliding under my panties, teasing my folds, brushing along my clit, beforeplunging into my entrance. I was already soaked, and I spread my knees widerand tilted my hips, trying to encourage him to go faster.
"So impatient," he murmured against my neck,nipping at me again.
This time I felt fang.
I couldn't reply as he complied, working his fingersinside me, rubbing and hitting my g-spot with his fingers, while he swirled thefingers of his other hand over my clit.
Pretty soon I was quivering with need, crying his nameout in small gasps as he brought me so close, building me higher and higher. Iwhimpered, almost not able to handle the intensity of the feelings coursingthrough me.
He pressed his fangs against my neck, and I exposed mythroat in reply.
The sharp pain of his teeth sinking into my skin wasquickly replaced by ecstasy as my body shattered from the combination of hisbite and his fingers in my pussy. I came hard, vision blackening until all Icould focus on was the pleasure coursing through me.
"Wow," I breathed softly as I came down fromthe intense orgasm, still on my knees, leaning back against Mal.
"Let's get you untied," he said.
He made the process of untying just as erotic as thetying, rubbing my skin, kissing my neck, releasing me slowly and gently beforelying me back on the bed and giving my legs the same treatment. He hadn't tiedmy legs, but I'd been effectively trapped on my knees.
Once I was left feeling satiated and languid on mybed, he leaned back and studied me.
"You're so beautiful, my dear exorcist," he marveled,running his fingers along the tats decorating my stomach. "Thank you fortrusting me."
I grinned. "You always deliver on my trust, Mal."
His return smile tugged at my heart. I wasn't sure howI'd gotten so lucky as to have this vampire in my life, but damn I was glad hewas here.
"Let's get you cleaned up and fed."
I arched an eyebrow, surprised he wasn't going formore. "You satisfied?"
Mal nodded and gave me a wry grin. "For now. I'malso in danger of running late if I get too occupied. I did tell Olivia I'dcover for her today."
"Ahh, real life intruding on the fun." Ilaughed.
"It happens." He reached over to thenightstand and handed me my phone.
I unlocked it and took a look at the picture he'dtaken.
"Wow, that's, uh, beautiful." I'd neverexpected to describe anything about myself as beautiful, but the way Mal hadpositioned me, wound the rope, and tied the knots up my arms was a work of art.
He ducked his head when I tried to meet his gaze,though I caught the glint of pleasure in those liquid brown eyes.
"It actually is an art form. Erotic knot tying. Ihad a friend who was into it years ago and I let her tie me up all the time.Eventually I learned, so I could reciprocate."
"Well, we'll have to play some more," Isaid.
"I'd like that."
"Game night, tonight? Right?" I switchedsubjects before I tackled Mal back to the bed and made him late for work.
Recognizing what I was doing, Mal allowed the topicchange, offering me a hand out of bed. "Yes. Ready?"
"I think so. I'll bring home pizza for me and Aaron,"I called as I headed for the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day.
"Looking forward to it."
Mal was in the kitchen by the time I got out of thebathroom. Mayhem was prancing around the vampire's feet, the Pomeranian shapedhellhound obviously ready for his breakfast. My stomach growled.
Aaron was already gone. He really was an early bird. Sinceit was the weekend, he was
