“I am pleased with you now. Once you have paid your penance, your earlier mistakes will not be spoken of again. And until then, you may concentrate on your master’s pleasure the way you said you wished to, because you will not orgasm.”
Charlotte nodded.
“If you so much as think about working yourself to your climax by yourself, I will put you in a chastity belt until I know I can trust you—and you’ll find it takes a very long time to earn that sort of trust from a vampire.”
Charlotte glanced up at him. He looked serious.
“Yes, pet, very serious.”
She nodded. He let go of her wrists and allowed her to curl back into his side as he settled himself to sleep. She thought about everything for a little while. Charlotte wasn’t sure if he was already asleep, but she whispered the words anyway.
“Thank you, master.”
“For what?”
He could read her mind. There was no reason for him to ask her to speak out loud unless it was because he just wanted the words said to him properly.
“For punishing me,” she whispered. For taking control of it all so she could know she was truly forgiven once the punishment was over.
He pressed a kiss onto the top of her head. “Good girl. Now, go to sleep.”
Zachariah followed his own order. He was soon settled in a deep slumber. Charlotte’s mind raced. She knew it was pointless for her to try to sleep. Frustration still curled into a little ball of heat low down in her stomach.
With Zachariah asleep, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to think through the suddenly apparent possibilities of the bond.
If he really meant it when he said he could push her right to the edge, it meant he could do things no other master could ever have done with her. He really could use her any way he wanted to—knowing that she enjoyed every moment of it—and she could enjoy it more knowing he would never want to do her any permanent damage.
He said he loved her. She couldn’t overlook that. The thought wrapped around her. He said those words, even though he knew she forgot to think about things submissively sometimes, and even though he knew she wanted him to treat her like a submissive.
“Hush.”
“I didn’t say anything,” Charlotte began, before she realised such a protest was futile.
Damn!
Zachariah chuckled, and pulled her tighter in his embrace. “Go to sleep, pet. There will be plenty of time to fulfil all your kinky little fantasies tomorrow.”
Tomorrow? All of them?
He chuckled again and rearranged them so he spooned behind her. He brushed a kiss against her neck. His teeth scraped the skin and he lapped at the wound in an almost absent minded way.
Her neck was there. She was his pet. If he wanted to bite her, he could. The little gesture said it all.
Charlotte smiled to herself and tilted her head to the side, letting the bond whisper her pleasure in the feeding to her master.
