making it sound like it could possibly be true.”
“Guess we’ll see if it’ll come true on Saturday.”
“Guess we will.”
Chapter Nine
“ARE YOU SURE you’re ready for this?” Ian’s voice was smug. Authoritative. Teasing yet seductive. It was a little before ten a.m., and we were about to embark on Ian’s half of the day. He’d even set a timer on his phone so that we’d know when his time was up and it was my turn.
We’d both been up for hours, but we’d figured the crack of dawn was not the world’s most appropriate time for sexy games. Instead, I’d used the time to pamper myself, deep-conditioning my hair, shaving my legs, taking extra time with my hair and makeup.
Now I was wearing a cherry red sweater. I’d chosen it because it was soft and touchable, but also because it scooped at the neckline to showcase my cleavage. I wanted to do everything in my power to discourage Ian from checking in with his office today. I’d paired it with a soft black pencil skirt that ended above my knee. My favorite calf-length high-heeled boots completed the look.
My handsome husband had taken some time getting ready, too. He’d gotten a haircut on Friday, and the shorter style looked good on him. He was wearing a chocolate-colored button-down shirt over a black t-shirt. His dark jeans cradled his ass in a distracting way. I couldn’t wait to start—and now that it was ten o’clock, I didn’t have to anymore.
“I still think you should’ve planned the first half. You’re the early riser,” he said. He’d lost the coin toss.
“Since when is ten considered early for either of us?”
“Touché. Close your eyes.”
“What?”
“If you find that simple order difficult to follow, this is going to be a long morning.”
Shutting my eyes, I said, “Am I going to be following other orders?”
“Yes, baby, you are.” I could hear him circling me. Knowing he was watching me made me feel naked even though I was fully clothed. “You’re going to follow my orders and do exactly what I say ... and you’re going to love every minute of it.”
A large hand swept my hair away from my neck, and he moved in, tickling my sensitive skin with his stubble. “Aren’t you, babe?”
“Probably,” I said. But I was pretty sure I would. Very sure. He was already getting me turned on.
“Always argumentative.”
“Occupational hazard,” I breathed, but I was distracted by his lips brushing past my ear, nibbling gently, teasing me.
“I know a way to stop you from arguing,” he said, trailing a long finger up my arm, slowly. Teasingly. Once it was past my elbow, it jumped to the front of my sweater, homing in on one erect nipple. I moaned as he swirled his finger around my pointed tip, as if to accentuate how hard it was. Then he pushed his finger up to my throat, finally settling it on my lips. “Open up.”
I parted my lips and he eased the tip of his finger inside, laying it lightly on my tongue. “No talking,” he whispered against my ear. “Just listen and show me what else that talented tongue of yours can do.”
Mmm ... he was right, this was much more fun than talking. I swirled my tongue in lazy circles around his fingertip. Drawing him in deeper, I applied gentle suction, alternating between flicking my tongue around the tip of his finger and circling the whole thing, sucking him in more each time. It made me really wish we’d been able to fulfill the terms of our bet after the laser tag game.
“Look at you,” Ian murmured, as I serviced his finger. “A lawyer. A respected professional. What would your colleagues say if they knew how much you wanted to be on your knees sucking my cock right now?”
I moaned in response, knowing he could feel the vibrations.
“And you’ve agreed to do what I say this morning, and you don’t even know what I’ll demand. And that turns you on.” His free hand slid around to my stomach and up inside
