Cardinal's Sins

by Mackenzie Wiliams

  He looked over at her, the dim glow of the dashboard making her hair sparkle. She was anxious. Tessa was rubbing her hands down her thighs, squeezing her knees, then repeating the actions. Her breathing was shallow and sped up slightly. Damn, he liked her this way.

  The headlights lit up his driveway as he slowly turned into it. The garage door opened, and he pulled his car in. After putting it in park and shutting off the engine, he pressed the button to close the garage door behind them.

  The brighter lights inside the garage allowed him to focus on Tessa’s face. She absentmindedly licked her lips before turning to face him. Levi let go of the shifter, reaching his other hand out to touch her cheek. He rubbed his thumb over her face before moving it to her lips.

  He traced her lips slowly. “Love, did I tell you how beautiful you looked tonight?”

  He moved his finger to the side of her mouth.

  “Yes.” Her hands stilled in her lap.

  Levi ran his thumb over her soft lips again before slowly pushing it between them. Tessa inhaled leisurely as he slipped his finger into her mouth. Her eyes fluttered shut for just a few seconds before she lightly licked it.

  “Well, I’ll say it again. You look beautiful.”

  Tessa twirled her tongue on his thumb as she blinked several times through their eye contact. The motion-detected garage light slowly started to dim around the car. Levi casually reached behind himself and opened his car door. The overhead light came on above them, causing Tessa to stall her mouth movements and flick her gaze up for a second.

  Levi slowly pulled his thumb from her mouth with a crooked smirk on his lips. He laid his hand on her thigh, but it wasn’t still for long. He slid it up her leg, pushing her dress with it. Levi had had a female friend, who worked for a nearby store, drop it off several hours ago with shoes. He obviously “forgot” to order any replacement undergarments for Tessa. If a person threw in a big enough tip, every place had delivery available.

  When his hand reached the top of her thigh, he gripped the side of her dress and wrapped it into ball, exposing her. Tessa inhaled sharply and reached out to hold onto her door handle.

  “Levi.” Her breathing was increasing.

  “Yes?” He pushed the ball of fabric between her back and the car seat, pinning the dress up so it wouldn’t fall back down to cover her.

  “We should go inside.”

  Tessa’s fingers gripped the door handle harder. Levi watched her thin knuckles turn a shade whiter for a moment. He stared up into her blue eyes, and they flicked back and forth around his face.

  “We will.” His expression became more serious as he let his gaze fall down to her pussy.

  Tessa squirmed under his stare, and Levi took a deep breath through his nose. Was it just the excitement of taking her when and where he wanted that was so intoxicating? Or was it the fact that she liked it just as much? He didn’t know, but this was even better than when he had snatched her off that dark street.

  Levi reached down and cupped her pussy, causing her to take a quick, deep breath. Tessa closed her knees, but it didn’t matter, his hand was already in place. A strangled growl worked up his throat as he slipped his middle finger between her pussy lips.

  Her arm pressed harder against her door as her legs opened slightly. Levi moved his finger up and down through her increasingly wet lips and just barely inside her cunt.

  “Should I tie you up again?”

  Levi watched her cheeks slowly turning pinker as she took a few shallow breaths. Tessa took her hand off the door and gripped her thigh.

  “I don’t think you’re supposed to give the captive the option.” She stared into his eyes, her lips parted with more quick breaths.

  Levi’s own lips curled into a wicked grin. “Too right, love. I hope I’m not losing my edge.”

  He then tilted his hand to slide his finger completely inside her. Tessa gasped, pushing herself up with her feet. Levi wiggled his finger inside her warm pussy as his cock hardened almost painfully against his jeans.

  “Mine to take.” Levi’s smile faded as he stared at her.

  Tessa’s chest shook and her cheeks blushed further. “Yes, of course.”

  ****

  Tessa stared into Levi’s bright green eyes before moving her gaze to his mouth. He clenched his jaw, looking gorgeous and hungry. He fingered her pussy a few more times, and she held her breath. Her clit was throbbing, waiting to come.

  “Let’s start this the way we began.” Levi winked at her before quickly slipping his finger out of her.

  She let out that held breath as he leaned away from her, taking his hand from her. Tessa watched him with wide eyes as he gracefully exited the car, shutting the door behind himself. The garage light rained down on him as he stood outside his window, placing his hands on his hips. Tessa’s breathing was ragged as she watched him just staring into the car, the light making him look intimidating. It was an uneasy feeling but not an unwelcome one. He looked as if he was stalking her, and she loved it.

  The inner car light slowly went dark, and Tessa took a deep, shaky breath, trying to slow her breathing and swirling emotions. Her hand gripped her thigh tightly as the tingle in her clit increased.

  He strode around the car, moving with purpose. Excitement and a small amount of fear rolled through her stomach. It was real fear. Tessa wasn’t worried for her safety, however. It was a playful “how’s this going to play out” fear and, she enjoyed it immensely.

  Levi opened her car door, turning the light back on inside. It was as if she then suddenly realized her pussy was exposed. She swiftly reached behind her, pulling her dress back around where it should be.

  She looked up to see a greedy-looking Levi staring down at her, holding her door open. The air between them seemed to have abruptly changed. They were no longer a couple on a date. Tessa was again his captive, and Levi was again in charge.

  Fuck me. Seriously.

  Chapter Twelve

  Levi’s cock twitched in his pants as he looked down on her, his prize once again. Tessa was tightly gripping the bottom of her dress, holding it against her legs. Her body trembled when she exhaled, and her eyes were wide and swirling with anticipation.

  “You have no more time left.” He reached in and took hold of her closest wrist.

  Tessa didn’t give in right away. She tensed her arm, trying to keep it still. He pulled harder, and she finally let him stretch her arm out toward himself. Levi reached in with his free hand and placed it on the top of her head. He gracefully but forcefully pulled on her arm, guiding her head out of the car, not letting it hit the roof of the car. Because he was manhandling her a little too fast, she had little control of how her body moved.

  Tessa stepped out of the car, and he pulled her into a standing position. She immediately fell into him and huffed out a breath. Levi gave her a serious look, holding his head high to look down his nose at her. Of course, he wasn’t disappointed or annoyed. He was playing up the moment to make it feel heavier.

  The effect was clear to see. Tessa pressed her hand against his chest. It trembled against him as she tried to stand on her own. She blinked up at him, an apology written on her face. She looked uneasy and unsure of herself. Perfect.

  Levi reached behind her and flung her door closed. He gripped Tessa’s upper arms and pushed her back against his car. She took several shallow breaths, staring into his eyes. Levi reached up and wrapped his fingers around her neck.

  He didn’t squeeze it, however. He merely held his hand there, feeling her little shakes and her quick breathing. After a few moments, he slowly ran his hand down her neck toward her breasts. He massaged one harshly until a soft whimper came off her lips.

  “This is going to be fun, girl.”

  ****

  Tessa’s chest was tight as she watched his eyes. Levi looked around her face before letting his gaze slip down to his hand on her breast. He squeezed it hard again, and she exhaled with a small moan. Her clit was throbbing even harder, an
d she clenched her pussy muscles.

  Had this type of rough play always turned her on, or was it just him? She may never know the answer to that, but in this moment, it didn’t matter either way. Tessa wanted him badly, and she didn’t want him to be a kind, gentle lover. Tessa wanted Levi to unleash himself.

  He pressed her back a bit harder against the car, moaning. He studied her, giving Tessa a look that could break most women. A quiver went down her legs as her next breath caught in her throat. This man could do no wrong right now.

  Levi leaned in, speaking closely to her face. “God, I fucking want to be inside you.”

  She let out a shaky breath just as he pulled back from her. He quickly grabbed her waist, drawing her off the car. Levi spun her around to face away from him. He grabbed both her arms and pinned them to her back. He then pushed them up too high into a slightly uncomfortable position.

  Tessa whimpered as he turned her and walked her forward toward the house. It was like she was being arrested, and she was perfectly fine with that. When they reached the door, Levi held her against his chest, arms still pinned, while he opened it.

  He didn’t guide her inside right away, though. Levi leaned into her neck and whispered into her ear.

  “Love, don’t forget that safeword. Just in case.”

  Tessa swallowed the lump in her throat. “Cardinal.”

  Levi pressed his mouth against her neck, and she felt his smile just before he licked her neck. “Good girl.”

  Chapter Thirteen

  Levi guided Tessa into his bedroom, still tightly holding both her wrists. Her shoulders were starting to ache, but the end was near. He stalled long enough to flick on the lights, letting one of her arms drop to her side.

  She tried to turn around, but he gripped her other arm harder. She moaned as he pushed her toward his bed. Finally, his hand released her arm, and she huffed out a deep breath. A smile wanted to curl her lips, but she smothered it, not wanting to ruin the scene.

  Tessa stared at his bed, unsure if she should turn around. She decided not to. Her breathing was harsh as Levi came up behind her. He ran his hand up the back of her neck and into her hair. She whimpered when he took a handful, pulling slightly.

  “Do you want this, love?” His tone was cold.

  The tingle in her pussy got more noticeable. She wanted him so badly she couldn’t keep her hands still. Her fingers were flexing and scratching at her own thighs. Tessa wondered if she should give him the real answer or dive deeper into the game of captive.

  Levi tilted her head to the side, causing her to whimper. He leaned his face closer to hers.

  “Maybe I don’t need an answer.” His tone was more sinful now.

  She decided to give him a small sign that he was on the right track. Tessa reached her hand back and grabbed his thigh. She squeezed it several times before clawing her nails up his jeans, then just holding his leg. Levi gave her a quick return sign by kissing her cheek in a loving manner. It was just a quick reprieve from his hardness, however.

  Love and wickedness mixed in her chest. Tessa was completely enjoying everything about the man behind her. Finally, the harsh Levi returned. He swiftly reached down and grabbed her hand on his thigh.

  He pressed it hard against himself before squeezing her fingers together. A small amount of pain came with his touch before he released her hand, flinging it off himself. He pulled her hair and head back a small amount more. Tessa whimpered again.

  “Very well then, love.”

  ****

  Tessa took a deep breath, exhaling with a tremor that shook Levi’s chest that was pressed to her back. A crooked grin lifted one side of his lightly stubbled face. He leaned forward and rubbed his cheek across her silky smooth one, listening to the quiet scratching noise it made.

  She stilled against him, her arms rigid. She was beyond ready for him to take her. It surprised Levi a little that she wanted to again and again return to the role of being kidnapped. Maybe it was a comfort for her in a strange way. Maybe he was just really good at it.

  Levi swiftly stepped back from her, letting go of her hair. He took off the suit coat he wore, stepping sideways to lay it across the back of his chair. He then removed his dress shirt, followed quickly by his white t-shirt.

  Levi took several deep breaths, puffing out his chest as he kept his eyes on Tessa. Her small movements were unsteady. She lifted her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear but hesitated. She timidly turned her head toward him, although, her eyes were aimed at the floor.

  He rubbed his hands together, tightening his arm muscles as he did. He was dying to thrust his cock into her, but first, he had to give her extra time and attention. The kind she desired. Levi strolled back to her, gripping her upper arms when he reached her, and spinning her around to face him.

  Her eyes were wide as she took him in. She stared into his eyes for a moment before looking down at his bare chest. She returned eye contact when he spoke to her.

  “I want you and there’s nothing that’s going to stop me now.” He tilted his head back, staring down at her.

  He waited for her reaction, making sure that she understood that she still had the power of the safeword, if need be. Tessa twisted her feet against the floor before biting her bottom lip. She gave him an almost unnoticeable nod.

  Game on, pet.

  Chapter Fourteen

  Levi stepped back from her, and Tessa let her gaze run down his well-defined stomach muscles. If he wasn’t perfect, she’d never seen it before. He stepped to the side and bent down to open the drawer of a small nightstand near his bed. He pulled a white rope from it before standing up straight, twisting it in his hands.

  Tessa’s pussy muscles spasmed as she took in the sight of him. Levi looked threatening as he gave her a wicked smile. She wanted this and everything he had to give her, but what would be the fun of a giggling, willing, enslaved girl?

  “What’s that for?” Tessa put her hands out in front of her in a defensive manner, enjoying the game.

  She sidestepped away from Levi and his bed. Of course, she didn’t really need the answer to that question. Levi untied a large knot in the rope and began to twirl it in front of himself. Tessa took another step away from him, her excitement becoming almost uncontrollable.

  “Keep going, love. That’s right where I want you.” He took a step toward her, the rope still spinning through the air.

  “What do you mean?” This, she really didn’t know.

  Tessa took two more steps backward, closing in on the right wall of the large bedroom. He strolled toward her, his eyes bright and full of sin. She took another step back until her heels bumped into the floorboard.

  Levi didn’t slow or stop until he was mere inches from her. He let the rope hang from his hands as he looked up and to the left.

  “Almost, pet. A few steps to the side.”

  Tessa shivered as she turned her head up. There, screwed into the ceiling, were two metal hooks with a bar hanging between them, hanging just over a foot down from the ceiling.

  A chin-up bar?

  Before Tessa could question him, Levi briskly grabbed her arms, pulling them toward him. He stepped to the side, taking her with him. She gasped as he pressed her against the wall, pushing his body against hers so she couldn’t escape.

  His face was inches from her as he clenched his jaw, pulling on her right wrist. Tessa grunted at the pressure he was putting on her chest as he held her in place with his body. Levi wrapped the rope around her wrist and then grabbed her other hand. Soon her wrists were tied together.

  Before Tessa really understood what was happening, Levi moved back from her, tossing the end of the rope up, over the bar. He pulled on the loose end until her arms were raised over her head. He gave her just enough slack so that her arms weren’t in pain, but it was far from comfortable.

  “Better.” Levi made quick work of securing the loose end so she couldn’t pull herself down.

  Tessa twisted her body, almost hitting him i
n the face with her elbow. He leaned back quickly with a scowl. It was unintentional, of course, but she decided to use it. Tessa turned her body away from him again but more violently.

  “Untie me right now.” She pulled on her arms, moving her feet small steps back and forth.

  “Untie you?” Levi walked backward, out of her reach.

  “Yes. Let me down.” Anticipation tightened her chest as Levi’s expression became more serious.

  Damn… Her clit was throbbing, begging for her orgasm to be released. She felt her pussy wet further as Levi licked his lips, watching her intently.

  Tessa slowed her feet but didn’t stop her small movements from side to side. Levi’s gaze ran down her body, stalling on her feet for a moment before returning to her eyes. His bright green eyes sparkled as his lips curled into a smirk.

  He stepped to her and quickly wrapped his fingers around her face. He didn’t put any pressure on it, however. He simply held his warm hand still on her. Tessa’s arms shook overhead as she took a quick breath.

  “Are you going to be a good girl and stand still or do I need to tie your feet to weights?”

  Levi kept eye contact as he slid his hand down her neck and onto her chest. He took hold of a breast and squeezed it. Tessa moaned, squirming against him and the ropes.

  “Levi.” Her tone was breathy with desire.

  “I think I prefer ‘Sir’.” Levi squeezed her breast again, a little harsher.

  “Aaahhh.” She struggled to take a full breath. “Sir.”

  His eyes widened as he took a deep breath through his nose. Tessa looked down briefly at his chiseled chest as it flexed with his arm movements. He slid his hand to her other breast and massaged it.

  “I asked you a question. Are you going to be a good girl or not?”

  Tessa gasped when he suddenly reached his free hand up and took hold of her face. Again, he applied no pressure. He wasn’t hurting her, he was reinforcing the fact that she was his to command. Her stare moved down to his inked arm. He looked magnificent. She could hardly believe this was real.
