Free Master Me by Brynn Paulin

bondage.”
    “No, I just desperately wanted to be the one to train you.”
    “Then why didn’t you?”
    “For the same reason you hesitated to take my offer. I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. But here we are.” He stroked his finger over her clit, gathering more cream and sending a chain reaction of shudders through her. It wouldn’t take much for her to explode again.
    She breathed a sigh of relief as he signaled and pulled onto the off-ramp. A few minutes later, he pulled into his garage. The automatic door slid closed behind them, leaving them alone in the dim enclosure.

    Max watched the shadows play over Ana’s face, reminded of the last time they’d gone camping together. The wind blowing the tree outside the garage window made the sunlight flicker on her face much like the campfire had that night. When she’d finally snuggled into him, too cold not to, he’d been hard-pressed not to show her a new use for their tent tie-downs.

    His cock throbbed. There was a tie down in her near future.
    “Let’s get inside,” he said, opening the door and going around to open hers. She looked surprised. Max grinned. She might as well get used to being treasured. A true master cherished his slave.
    Taking her hand, he led her inside, telling her that they’d get her bags later. “Do I get to see the dungeon now?” she asked. Trepidation trembled in her words. She wasn’t ready for the dungeon yet.
    Unbuttoning his shirt with his free hand, he guided her down the hall to his bedroom. “No, not yet.”
    She looked around his room as they entered. It was clean and he’d actually pulled the blanket back over the bed this morning, still there was nothing to see here. Almost all his toys were locked up in the dungeon so that they didn’t shock the maid who came in three times a week.
    “Kneel,” he said as he headed for his dresser. He didn’t look to see if she complied.
    He knew she had. And he couldn’t look at her. He was about to do perhaps the most devious and foolhardy thing he’d even done—even more so than showing his true nature and spanking her yesterday.
    Pushing aside a pile of underwear, he lifted out a velvet-covered box and set it on the top of the dresser. His stomach tumbling with misgivings he opened the lid.
    Carefully, he lifted out the heavy gold chain inside. This was the collar used by his family to signify a Cress sub. A permanent sub. Though the collar, comprised of thick links, appeared decorative, it had several hidden loops handy for bondage.
    Each of his brothers had identical bands for their subs. If any one of his relatives saw this on Ana, they’d know he’d permanently claimed her. He might have a whole lot of explaining to do to them and Ana. Hopefully by then she’d know how he felt and be ready to stay with him.

    up. By the time she’d met Max she’d said goodbye to so many friends, she’d stopped investing herself to any sort of relationships. She hadn’t had much of a choice with him though. After they’d been thrown together by school officials, he’d crept under her skin.
    Eventually, she’d opened up to him. However, it had taken months of ignoring her rebuffs.
    Refusing to commit was still such a habit for her. He wasn’t sure she’d allow him to take their relationship to the next level. He was fairly sure the only reason she was kneeling on the floor behind him was because she knew this was temporary.
    Turning, he caught his breath, the sight of her punching him in the gut. Her hair fell in wild ebony waves around her slim shoulders and down to her waist. The top three buttons of her white blouse were open, exposing the upper swells of her breasts while the tails of the shirt hung between her spread thighs. With her arms pulled behind her, the
