Yvonne pumped her fingers harder and deeper, the heel of her palm grinding against Ruby’s aching clit. Ruby convulsed against Yvonne, delirious, her fingers curling and her wrists straining against the cuffs.

“Go on,” Yvonne said. “You can come now.”

At once, the pleasure inside Ruby rose and rose. Just as it reached a crescendo, Yvonne reached up and slipped her fingers under the chain of the nipple clamps, pulling them from Ruby’s nipples.

“Oh!” The rush of blood and sensation sent Ruby over the edge. She arched into Yvonne as an earth-shattering orgasm consumed her entire body. Yvonne surged inside her, sending Ruby deeper and deeper into sweet oblivion, until she was certain she was going to be swept away.

As Ruby returned to reality, breathless and weak, Yvonne began uncuffing Ruby’s hands. She sank into the bed, the feeling of her Mistress’s fingers on the insides of her wrists making her skin tingle. Yvonne freed Ruby from her restraints and kissed her slowly. Ruby pressed herself against her Mistress, devouring her Mistress’s lips.

Yvonne wrapped her arms around Ruby, drawing her down to the bed. “Come here.”

Ruby snuggled in closer, grateful that she didn’t need to ask Yvonne to hold her. She wasn’t the type to feel needy after sex, but right now, Ruby wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of the night in Yvonne’s arms. This insatiable need for closeness only ever came about when she played these kinds of intimate, kinky games with Yvonne.

Ruby’s stomach stirred. Was she developing feelings for Yvonne, or was she simply feeling the way she was because of the complicated nature of their relationship? Yvonne was so many things to her. ‘Wife.’ Mistress. Partner in crime in an elaborate inheritance scheme. Ruby was irrevocably bound to her, and all the ties between them were beginning to tangle.

Regardless of what she felt toward Yvonne, one thing was certain. Ruby was in too deep now, under Yvonne’s spell, addicted to their kinky games.

And last time that had happened, she’d almost ended up broken.

Chapter 15

Yvonne woke the next morning, weighed down by an awful, sinking feeling. It was like her entire body was made of wet sand.

She rolled over in the playroom bed. She and Ruby had fallen asleep in it the night before. But now, Ruby was nowhere to be seen.

Yvonne dragged herself out of bed, a feat that took far more effort than it should have, and headed for the kitchen. Her head felt foggy. She needed coffee.

As she entered the kitchen, she was almost knocked over by Ruby.

“Oops, sorry!” Ruby clutched the cup of coffee she’d almost spilled on Yvonne. “I’m running late.”

“You have plans?” Yvonne asked. It was the weekend.

Ruby nodded. “I’ve been exploring the city a lot more lately, and I found this amazing day spa uptown, so I thought I’d treat myself.” A guilty look crossed her face. “It’s a bit pricey. Actually, it’s really, really pricey. I hope you don’t mind.”
