Sure of what Marissa symbolized, Haley didn’t have to think about her answer. “She’s a part of me. A
part I’ve kept locked in a cage for too long.”
Jay nodded. “Ah, your naughty girl side, you mean.”
“Yeah, something like that,” she consented, tickled by his description.
“In that case, I’m glad you found the key to the cage and let her out to play with me this weekend.” He
was like a predator suddenly scenting prey. “We’ve had our food, hot chocolate and conversation. Now
I want you in that bed upstairs, handcuffed and at my mercy.”
She swallowed hard at the picture his words invoked. “Now?” she asked, trying not to sound quite so
excited.
“Now,” he whispered. He put his hand on the back of her head and pulled her toward him.
His kiss tasted of sweet chocolate, and Haley melted. She let him take her mouth. Let him, yeah right, as
if she had a choice in the matter. Her body had overridden her brain the minute she’d set foot in his
cabin. She was helpless to him. At his mercy. She didn’t need to be tied down, she’d gladly do whatever
he asked. When had she become such a little glutton? But then she’d never met a man who sent her body
into overdrive with just a look. She’d never met a man who had the power to make her body plead and
quiver with just a kiss. Only Jay could do that to her.
He ended the kiss and left the couch. When he leaned down to take her in his arms, she balked. “I’m
way too heavy for you to carry up those stairs.”
He stilled and grew serious. “Now you’re calling me a wimp?”
She frowned. Men and their testosterone. “Well, of course not, but—“ She was cut off as he pulled her
high into his arms and started out of the room. Okay, a girl could get used to being carted around like a
princess. Haley kept reminding herself this was all quite temporary. Come Monday, she’d be back at
work and Jay Pickett would be out of her life. She would not cry when that happened either. She simply
refused.
Jay did indeed make it up the stairs and to the bed. He wasn’t even breathing heavily. If that didn’t just
make a woman’s heart flutter. He laid her down and growled, “Stay put while I get a few things.”

She nodded, more eager than she wanted to admit to herself. Haley knew what things he meant. He was
going for the camera and handcuffs. Oh, lord, this was all so wild, so fast. Did she trust him enough to be
at his mercy in such a way? Would he be kind, gentle?
Jay came back into the room and stopped mid-stride. “I can see those thoughts as clear as day, Haley.
You would make a terrible con.”
She resented that. “I’d make a terrific con. I’m actually very adept at lying when the need arises,” she
teased, hoping to distract him.
Jay rolled his eyes. “Bullshit. I can see every single thought in your pretty little head as if they were
etched on your forehead.” He crossed the room and sat on the side of the bed. He stared at her with
such tenderness it caused her heart to flip-flop.
“I won’t hurt you.” His voice was so genuine and sincere, it made Haley want to tell him he’d already
won his case, but he went on anyway, causing her to fall just the tiniest bit more for the big softy.
“I’ll be real easy. We’ll not do a damn thing you don’t want to do, I swear it.”
“I’ve just never done this before. I’m a little nervous.”
“Would you rather not do the handcuffs?”
He started to set them aside and Haley stopped him by placing her hand over his. She did want the
handcuffs. Nervousness was ever-present, but so was excitement. She liked the idea of being open and
his to do with as he wished. She liked it a lot. Moreover, he’d already proven to be an attentive lover.
Giving him total access to her body would guarantee her endless pleasure in his very capable hands. Two
very big thumbs up to that idea.
“I do want them.”
Jay’s intense gaze was just this side of wicked. “I’m glad, but how about if I give you the key? That way
you’ll feel a little safer.”
The sweet gesture filled her with warmth. “Thank you, I think I’d like that.”
He leaned down, kissed the tip of her nose then murmured, “Always so polite. Christ, that really turns
me on, baby.”
Caught off guard by his odd admission, Haley asked, “It does?”
He chuckled. “Yeah, go figure.” He left the bed and began fiddling with the camera. Once it was ready,
he set it on a chest-of-drawers directly across from the bed. It was just the right height, causing her to
wonder about Dr. French and his
seducer’s
cabin. Then she caught sight of the red recording light
blinking rapidly. Haley forgot all about the good doctor and blushed.
Jay came back to the bed and stripped her bare, then took his sweet time taking off his own clothes. He
pulled the shirt up little by little, revealing his lickable, sculpted belly and chest before tossing it away. He
lowered his sweats and Haley’s blood heated as his erection sprang free. Her mouth went dry as she
stared at his cock. He was so big. So incredibly hard and beautiful. The bulbous tip was engorged and
the veins that traveled the length pulsed with vitality. He looked powerful and masculine. Her whole body
Page 33
heated. She ached for him to fill her. Haley badly wanted to taste every inch of his body. She swore that
before the weekend ended she’d have her wish come true.
“Give me your left hand,” Jay demanded. She did and the cold metal slowly closed around her wrist. He
did the same with her other hand. Once she was bound, he gave her one more thrilling order.
“Hold onto the headboard for me. Don’t let go unless I tell you.” She did as he instructed and Jay kissed
her. This time his warm lips caressed hers lightly. Like butterfly wings against her skin.
“Such a good girl,” he praised, “deserves a proper reward.”
Jay pressed a finger against her wet opening and used his knee to push her legs apart. He stroked her
slick, swollen folds and she wiggled, desire mounting. She was nearly dying to have him enter her fully.
As if reading her thoughts, he murmured, “Not so fast. I want to play with you for awhile. Your body is
so soft, sweetheart. I want to touch every inch of you. I want to find all your secret little spots.”
He stroked his thumb over her clitoris and she moaned, the camera, the handcuffs, everything, forgotten.
Only her dark-haired lover with wonderfully talented fingers existed.
“Jay, oh, God!”
“That’s it, baby,” he murmured. “I fucking love the way you say my name when you’re aroused. My
sweet little wanton.”
She moaned louder as his finger entered just the slightest bit and her body squirmed. Arching up off the
bed, she inadvertently let go of the headboard. Instantly he halted his exploration and Haley cried out her
displeasure.
“Oh, no, please. Don’t stop!” she begged, dignity abandoned.
“Be a good girl and put your hands back on the headboard for me, baby.”
Haley complied and nearly came when his long finger slid all the way into her tight heat in one quick
stroke. He leaned down, licked the plump underside of her breast, and his breath tantalized her nipple as
he informed her, “I thought about hooking you to the headboard, but I much prefer you submitting to me
willingly. Besides, I really get off on driving you crazy this way. It makes me fucking nuts watching you
squirm and beg.”
She wanted to smack and kiss him at the same time. Haley licked her lips and closed her eyes, giving
herself to the currents flowing through her, lost to the words he whispered. Like a sorcerer, Jay wove a
spell around the both of them with his skillful touches and greedy words.
“You can’t believe how badly I want to fuck you right now,” he ground out. “I want to pound into your
tight cunt so fast and hard neither of us will be able to stand afterwards.”
Her breathing increased and her temperature rose as he toyed with her. “Just look at your puffy, pink
pussy lips. Jesus, that’s beautiful, baby.” His words were coarse and low. “But, I want this to last and I
have a feeling once I’m inside you I’m not going to.”
He slid down the bed and slipped his finger out of her, spreading her juices over and around her clit as
Page 34
he spread her swollen labia. “I want to eat you first. I bet you taste as sweet as honey.”
Words were beyond her as his mouth closed around her swollen clit. He drew it into the hot cavern of
his voracious mouth, then used his tongue to tease and torment. Haley lost it. She pushed her hips against
his face as her body convulsed, exploding out her release. His tongue lapped her up, unquenchable. Her
whimpers turned to shouts from the intensity of the emotions that filled her heart and body.
He rose up and over her so he stood on the bed, his feet on either side of her hips. “You can let go of
the headboard now, baby.”
She released the board behind her, bringing her hands in front of her. She couldn’t think, could barely
get enough oxygen into her starving lungs, but she very quickly became aware of his position above her.
“Jay?”
His grin was as sinful as a hot fudge sundae and every bit as enticing. “You know what I want,” he
responded, his voice thick and unsteady. Haley’s gaze darted to his hard, jutting cock and heavy balls.
Involuntarily she licked her lips with impatience.
“Sit up and take my dick between those pretty lips of yours, baby.” Jay closed his hand around himself
in a tight fist, stroking up and down, creating a frenzy inside her. She’d had about all she could take.
Haley pushed herself up with her fists until her mouth was level with his groin. She slid her gaze over his
impressive body and whispered huskily, “I’ve wanted you in my mouth since you first took off your
clothes in the kitchen.” Then she leaned in and leisurely licked the dripping head of his penis. “I’ve
wanted to taste your come so badly.” She took him all the way in, sucking strongly, milking him.
“Jesus.” Jay moaned, then he clutched her head in his large hands, holding her as he began pumping her.
It was all too much as he fucked her mouth almost uncontrollably. His balls slapped against her chin.
Haley loved knowing she’d driven Jay out of control, but it wasn’t exactly what she wanted. At least not
this first time. She wanted to linger over him, savor the experience. Haley reached up with her bound
hands and squeezed his sac in warning. Jay swiftly came to a halt. Her smile was that of a spoiled cat.
Knowing she’d gotten her way, she began to really feast on him.
Licking, taking her time, bringing him out from between her kiss-swollen lips only to suck him right back
in. She tasted his pre-ejaculate on her tongue and took him in farther until he was at the back of her
throat. Haley waited until she had him in as far as he could go, then she groaned.
Unexpectedly, Jay nudged her away. “No more. I need to be inside you.”
Jay grabbed a condom from the bedside table and rolled it on. He even made that look sexy. He
covered her with his leanly muscled body and said, “I thought I could fuck you slowly, take my time
about it. But damn, you do drive me insane.”
He brought her hands back to the headboard and Haley was forced to hang on as Jay gave her the ride
of her life. He pushed inside her as she wrapped her legs around his hips, pulling him in tight. He
anchored his arms on either side of her head and started a rhythm which pleased them both. Slowly, at
first. Then faster. Soon he pounded into her body. Her inner muscles gripped his cock like a loving fist
and she felt him deeper than ever. Sensations bombarded her from head to toe, and tears trickled down
her cheeks. When he touched her clit and licked at her breasts it sent her over the edge. She came and
he followed, pumping her full.

Long minutes passed as they lay there, sated and exhausted before he finally rolled off the bed. Jay
grabbed the key to the handcuffs—which he had to find since she’d dropped it somewhere along the
way—and freed her. After disposing of the condom, he pushed the quilt out from under them and slid in
next to her.
Jay pulled her tightly against him. Her bottom cradled his still-pulsing erection, his hand covered her
mound in a strangely tender gesture of possession. He whispered against her ear, “I’m pretty damn sure
one weekend of you isn’t going to satisfy me, baby. I’m going to need much, much more.”
Then he reached over and turned off the lamp. She was nearly asleep when she realized the video was
still running and the music still played.
He licked her earlobe languidly and watched her chest rise and fall gently. Jeremy liked waking with
Haley in his arms. She was all soft and sleep-rumpled and sexier than if she’d gotten all dolled up. He
rubbed her nipple into a tight peak and heard her beg his name. He thought maybe she was awake, but
her eyes remained shut, so he let his hand smooth down over her stomach until he touched between her
thighs. He lightly rubbed her vee with his index finger and was ridiculously pleased as her legs fell open
for him. Her hips arched off the bed and she moaned deep. That was all he needed.
All he could take.
Jeremy rose to a seated position and slid the blanket covering Haley’s lovely body downward. He
exposed her nude body. Now he could take his time looking. Her hair lay all around her shoulders and
curled around one nipple. Her eyes were still closed, but her lips had parted slightly and they looked
