I lifted her head, wound my belt around her neck, and jerked the leather strap, bringing the back of her skull flush with the mattress. Her mouth formed a surprised O. I couldn’t resist claiming her lips. She jutted her face forward, trying to deepen the kiss, but I yanked the belt and held her down.

“No,” I said, fists gouging the bed to hold me upright. “You’re gonna lay here and take what I give you.” I plunged my tongue into her mouth and battled hers into submission. “Touch yourself for me.”

With a breathless cry, she reached between us and obeyed. My cock brushed the back of her frantic hand. She worked her fingers over her clit so fast, the motion rivaled a vibrator. Whimpers sounded in the back of her throat, and her breasts heaved, nipples pebbling against my chest.

“Alex,” I whispered, my lips trailing across her cheekbone to her ear. “Do you want me inside you?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

“You aren’t getting my cock.”

She let out an adorable growl, and her hand stilled. “Then why am I touching myself?”

“Because I told you to.” I inched back, keeping a firm grasp on the belt. I wanted to wrap my hands around her neck, but I didn’t trust myself with that responsibility yet, especially after the things Jax had told me.

“That’s enough. Hands above your head.” With a groan, she raised her arms again. I overpowered her with the sheer size of my body and settled between her legs, and she eyed my cock as if it were a prize, her tits heaving, tongue darting out to wet her lips. She’d gladly take me in her mouth, and holy hell how I wanted to sink inside that wet, hot place and lose myself. But not if it gave her any satisfaction. I had the job of protecting her, whether she liked it or not.

I folded my fist around the base of my dick and slowly ran up the length, watching her reaction. “Do not move your hands.” I leaned toward her mound, as if I were about to sink inside her, but pumped my cock instead, the tip just inches from her drenched opening.

“Rafe?”

“Shut up and watch me.”

She pressed her lips together, and I worked my shaft, overcome with the need to connect with her in a way other than intense eye contact. I wanted to shove my cock in every part of her—her mouth, cunt…her tight little ass.
