Under His Control (For His Pleasure, Book 18) by Kelly Favor Read Free Book Online Page B

just let it all go, all the thoughts of Easton, the fears, the rejection, the loss and humiliation.
    She really tried, but her mind kept replaying scenes as if she were in a movie theater and her life was being replayed on a closed loop.
    She saw herself holding that damned birth certificate that had changed everything, destroyed her old life in one fell swoop.
    Kennedy flashed forward to telling her professors and family and acquaintances that she was quitting MIT and moving to New York to pursue a job in the advertising and marketing industry.
    And then, the biggest flash of all—meeting Easton.
    Seeing Easton in the darkened hallway that night when he’d made her undress and stand naked in that strange room of that even stranger club.
    Easton spanking her in the office.
    Easton telling her to take his cock into her mouth.
    She was getting excited. She hadn’t been planning it, but somehow, sitting in the warm bath water and thinking of Easton, it had simply crept over her body.
    Kennedy thought of him and slowly began to touch herself, imagining Easton’s hand on her, imagining his cock inside of her.
    The water splashed softly, lapping the sides of the tub and then lapping faster as she began rubbing her clitoris with urgency, her legs tightening as her feet pushed against the inside of the bathtub.
    She pictured Easton sliding his manhood into her, pushing through, and even though Kennedy had never taken a lover before—in that moment, she knew exactly how it would feel.
    And it felt amazing, and she was going to come, and God she needed to come.
    Needed to release all the tension and angst that had built up inside her.
    Just at the pinnacle of her excitement, and the wave of pleasure that was rolling through her body as she readied herself for the inevitable climax, she heard a vague thumping sound.
    She sat up in the tub, her feet splashing back down into the water again as she did so.
    Now she perked her ears up.
    It was knocking. Somebody was at her apartment door.
    Easton.
    Finally, she thought, he’d gotten her text and decided to just come and see her in person.
    And perhaps he’ll come in and then I’ll be glad I didn’t climax, because maybe he’ll want to finish what we started in Nicole and Red’s bathroom the other night.
    Kennedy got quickly out of the tub and threw on her bathrobe. She tied it tight, but not too tight. She left it open enough to reveal the swell of her breasts, enough to perhaps give Easton pause when he understood how little there was between him and her.
    Just a bit of cloth, a loose knot that could come undone as easily as unhitching a latch.
    She glanced at herself in the mirror as she ran out of the bathroom.
    Her hair was slicked back and she had no makeup on, but Kennedy didn’t think it was anything terrible. There was still color in her cheeks, and all in all, she kind of thought it might appear sexy to him.
    Or not.
    As she swung open the door to her apartment, she momentarily saw Easton’s chiseled face staring at her with want and hunger.
    But then she blinked and the face changed back to Blake, which was all it had ever really been. Blake. She blinked a few more times, stunned that it hadn’t even occurred to her that Blake would show up at her door.
    “Hey,” he said, grinning wryly. “I guess I caught you in the middle of…something.” His eyes scanned down to her breasts, and she inadvertently cinched her bathrobe tighter around her, clutching the robe closed.
    “I was taking a bath,” she said, still out of breath from rushing to the door.
    “Remember, I said I’d drop by today?”
    “Yes, but I guess I forgot after all,” she told him, unable to hide her disappointment.
    He sensed it and his mouth tightened. “Sorry I disturbed you,” he said.
    She noticed he was holding a bottle of wine. God, how had she not even noticed that until now? He was wearing a blazer and jeans, and he’d obviously wanted to impress her.
    “You brought wine,” she
