“Easy, Bunny. Remember, at any time you can use your safeword without repercussions. Understand?”
She nodded.
He cupped her pussy with his hand and a small whimper escaped her.
More.
Please, more.
Then he parted her lower lips, studying her. Slowly, he ran his finger over her clit.
A shiver ran over her.
“Cold, Bunny?”
“No.”
He smiled. It had a slightly wicked look to it. “You are so beautiful, my bunny. Fragile yet strong. Capable yet vulnerable.”
Did he really see her like that?
“But also a bit naughty. Which I like. I like that you show me your sassy side. You know I’ll take care of you, don’t you? Even when you break the rules.”
“I wasn’t in danger.”
There went that eyebrow again. The thing had a mind of its own. It seemed to be the harbinger of doom, for her bottom anyway.
“No? You were running so fast and hard, so lost in your mind that you didn’t even hear me calling out to you.”
“You called out to me?” she asked, shocked.
“Several times. It’s dangerous to ignore the signals your body is sending you. You were sweating, getting dehydrated, losing electrolytes. Your muscles were likely burning, lungs heaving for air, and you didn’t register any of that. So, tell me, how long do you think you would have kept running before you stopped and gave your body what it needed?”
“I . . . I don’t know.” And she didn’t. Because she hadn’t even realized how long she’d been running for.
He was right. She hadn’t registered any of that. So would she have pushed herself too far?
Maybe.
He slapped his hand down on her pussy, making her cry out. The pain was mixed with pleasure and she didn’t know which one was going to win. Then he soothed her by cupping her pussy again.
“Stay where you are. Don’t move.”
She watched as he walked back to the fridge and grabbed an electrolyte drink this time. She wrinkled her nose and shook her head.
“What is it?” he asked.
“I don’t like those.”
“You don’t like this flavor? I have others.”
“No, I don’t like any of them.”
“Hmm, well you need to get some electrolytes back into you or you’re going to feel like shit. Drink half of this and I’ll go lighter on your punishment.”
She groaned. “Again, I don’t think that I broke a rule.”
“You put yourself in danger. Of injury or worse. That’s breaking the rules. Why did you get out of bed? Roman said you were asleep when he left. So you woke up and had the burning need to work out?”
“I woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep.” She shrugged. “It happens a lot.”
“Why didn’t you come to me? Or to Roman or Salem? Although Salem doesn’t do well when he doesn’t get enough sleep. The man goes to sleep every night at ten like a nana.”
“Is ten the official bedtime of a nana?” she asked with a grin.
“You’re right. Nanas probably go to bed later.”
“You’re terrible.”
“Terribly good looking, terribly smart, terribly right. I know, it’s a curse.”
“Is it?”
“No. Now drink that like a good girl and I’ll reward you by only making you wait a short while before you get to come.” Alexei held out the drink to her, but she didn’t move her hands.
“I’m not allowed to move my hands.” She wasn’t sure if it was a trick. But she wasn’t going to take that chance.
“You can move your hands. Although drinking on your back probably isn’t a good idea.”
He helped her sit and moved in behind her.
Tamsyn found herself resting back against him. He had his legs on either side of hers and her bottom was nestled in against his groin.
She attempted to sit up on her own, but he reached around and placed his large hand on her chest.
“Stay where you are,” he rumbled. “Sip.” He held the bottle up so she could drink from it.
Why did no one let her hold her own drinks anymore?
It was . . . kind of sweet. Overly protective.
And she couldn’t help but like it.
She hated the taste of the drink but she swallowed down several mouthfuls.
“That’s my good bunny. So obedient. That’s what I like.”
Tamsyn had to roll her eyes. She’d give him obedient. She didn’t know why she liked to push things so much with Alexei. In ways she wouldn’t with Salem or even Roman.
So she drew her head away. “I’m done.”
He clicked his tongue at her. “You’re done when I say you are, Bunny. Three more sips.”
She turned around so she was kneeling. Feeling bold, she smiled at him. “I’d rather suck on something else.”
A giggle caught her by surprise as his eyes widened. Finally, she’d managed to shock him.
She’d kind of shocked herself too. She’d never been like this before . . . and she certainly couldn’t recall giggling.
“Oh, do you?” He stood and then picked her up, making her cry out.
