core.
Then his free hand possessed her other breast, rolling the nipple between firm fingers.
“Oh, God.” Her vision blurred. She needed to move, to do something as an ache of longing burst in her lower body.
His grip tightened.
“You have magnificent breasts, Kari. I’m going to enjoy them tonight.” His dark brown eyes looked at her, studied her.
She looked away. This was a bar room, not a bedroom. No doors, no bed. That just wasn’t right.
Even worse, she was taking a man’s orders and…she liked it. Oh, she did. Each time he set those dark eyes on her, her insides softened until now her lower half felt like warm Jell-O. She didn’t seem to have any control over her own body.
Releasing her, he moved to the chair. “Come and sit on my lap. You look like you need a hug,” he said softly. He pulled her onto his lap and leaned her against his big chest. His heart thudded beneath her ear, slow and steady, as his arms snuggled her tighter. His hands were gentle as he stroked her back and arms until she relaxed against him, feeling like a pampered pet. She rubbed her forehead against his chest with a sigh.

“Not so bad, is it?” he murmured.
“Guess not.”
“Good. Then we’ll continue.” Before she could respond, he tilted her back until her shoulders rested on the chair arm with her bottom on his lap.
“Hey!” She struggled to sit up, but he set a hand between her breasts.
“You stay where I put you, little sub,” he growled, mouth flattening.
She froze. Her heart sped up as she got that strange, melting feeling again.
The corner of his mouth turned up. “You like being bossed around, don’t you.”
It wasn’t a question and required no answer, thank heavens.
His eyes glinted with amusement. “We’ll talk about that later. For now, you are in a very nice position.” He set his hands on her breasts, stroking and massaging, teasing her nipples until they were tight and swollen and aching.
And that was before he put his mouth on her. He sucked on each nipple, rolling the peaks. He nipped one, and she gasped as a current of heat shot from her breast to her groin. Her private areas were wet, embarrassingly wet, and throbbing.
“You taste sweet,” he murmured, then shook his head. “And you’re making me forget my job here. Give me your wrists.”
Her heart thudded hard. Setting her cuffed wrists into his broad palm was exceedingly difficult, but she managed. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a two-foot length of chain, and snapped each end to the cuffs.
“I’m being gentle with you, little sub,” he said. “Your hands can be in front as long as they stay where I put them.” He took her arms and pushed them over her head, making her back arch. “Do you understand?”
Why was her body almost shaking with need? “Yes, Sir.”
“Very good.”
He played with her breasts for a few more minutes until she had to press her lips together to keep from begging him for more.
Then he ran his fingers up under her dress. She gave him a wary look even as her core heated in anticipation of his touch. His hand felt huge, pushing her legs apart as his fingers teased her pubic hair, never quite touching her mound.
She stiffened as footsteps approached their sitting area. Three men walked around the corner. A DM and two newbies.
One was Buck. Oh, no no no! Her breasts bare, his hand under her skirt… What had she done? Kari made a grab for the top of her dress.
Master Dan glanced over at the men, then said to her, “Put your arms back where I placed them, sub.”
He pinned her with his gaze, and she couldn’t keep her arms from moving back over the arm of the chair. Her breath almost sobbed.

His gaze softened slightly. “Better.” He looked at the men again and deliberately cupped her breast with his free hand. She stiffened, bit her lip to keep from moving.
Buck’s hands clenched into fists, and he took a
