whole body ripple as his gaze fixed on her.
    “I figured,” he said softly, “If I was a hunter, I might as well be a hunter for true. I’d only been in this world a short time for me to figure out that real hunters, those that had been born to the trade, the human ones, well, they’re not quite human . They don’t think like real humans do. They don’t react the same. They don’t have the same values. If I was to be a good hunter, I needed to learn as much as I could about this new world I was in, as soon as possible. I had to absorb and experience as much of it as I could.” He smiled and heat flickered in his eyes. “That led me into some very interesting places.”
    “I’m quite sure it did,” Tally murmured and shivered. This was a reflection of Nick’s words.
    Carson slid off the bed again and went back to the table where the bags were still sitting. He delved into the still untouched second bag. “I didn’t just buy food while I was out, Tally.” He began laying items on the table beside the bag and as she stared at them, her heart leapt and slammed against her chest. Some of the items she couldn’t name and others she wasn’t sure entirely how they would be employed. But she recognized exactly what the array of objects was.
    Sex toys.
    She pressed her thighs together as her pussy and clit throbbed and her breasts seemed to grow heavy and tipped with lava. They chaffed inside the dress.
    Tally licked her lips. She had no idea what Carson intended to do with her, or with those things lined up on the table, that was the problem.
    Something of her dilemma must have shown on her face, for Carson picked up the slender white rope coiled on the table and came toward her. “Remember when I spoke of trust this morning?”
    She nodded.
    “You ended up letting go in the end, didn’t you? Just letting go and letting me give you any sort of pleasure I wanted to and just accepting it. Remember?”
    The reminder made her whole body clench with an echo of that thrill. She had been mindless with need. She nodded again.
    “That’s all I’m asking you for now. You just have to let go and in return you get that incredible pleasure.” He dropped the rope on the bed next to her where it lay gleaming softly like a pearly-white doily. He snagged the button on her wrap dress and pulled it undone. The front of the dress sagged open. Underneath, there was a pair of ties that held the dress closed, which he pulled undone with a tug. The dress fell open completely, revealing her bare breasts and naked body.
    Tally was unable to say no, as he slid the dress off her shoulders and dropped it over the back of the chair next to the table.
    He took all the pillows off the bed. “Lie down,” he told her.
    Tally glanced at the rope one last time, before lying down. Carson kissed her, then picked up the rope and her wrist. She sucked in a shuddering breath as he wrapped the rope around her wrist and lift it towards the bed post.
    “You can say no at any time,” he said, his voice a low, confident rumble as he secure the rope to the bed post. “Any time you genuinely don’t want this, if you really want out, just let me know and it all stops. Immediately and at once.” He looked her in the eye. “Do you believe me?”
    She nodded. She did believe him.
    There were three more ropes on the table. Her excitement level rose as she realized what they were for. Carson secured her other wrist and both ankles to each bed posts in turn, spreading her out across the big mattress. She was exposed and completely as his disposal to do with as he wished. She trembled with the possibilities of what might happen next.
    Carson took off his clothes, moving with unstudied casualness, until he caught her watching him with a hungry appreciation. Then he smiled. It was the same warm, intimate smile he had given her when he had first arrived back in the apartment with the food bags. It was a smile she hoped was for her alone.
    “That look. Are you
