Free I Need You: A Valentine's Anthology by Vera Roberts Page B

in the pillow. He was testing her willpower and obedience. But her body was betraying her and she felt the coils of an orgasm forming. It started at her feet before it moved past her thighs and pooled in her tummy. It was only a matter of time...
    “Master, can I please come?” Zerrin begged, her voice a cross between pleading and crying.
    “You may,” Nick granted and Zerrin climaxed before he was able to get the rest of the sentence out. She bucked against the restraints and finally collapsed. Her breathing was labored and she struggled to find her voice; small grunts and moans coming out in sputtered tones.
    Nick sat back on his heels and smiled. Nothing pleased him more than to see his wife floating somewhere in subspace before he brought her back down to reality. After a few moments, he got up from the bed and went to the pots with the melted candles. He dipped a finger in one of the pots and pressed it against his inner arm. It was perfect. Not too hot but warm enough that Zerrin would definitely feel it.
    “Use your safeword when it hurts,” was all he instructed.

    Five
    Use your safeword when it hurts...
    Zerrin silently admitted she didn’t like the sound of that. Nick had never given her that type of warning before and she wasn’t sure what to make of it. Was something about to hurt? Was it the wax play ? Was she not going to like it? Was it going to be really painful?
    There was only one way to find out. “Yes, Master,” she answered in a longing voice.
    Nick took a large brush and dipped into one of the tins. He carefully spread it across Zerrin’s upper back, emitting an ooh from her. He dipped the brush in more wax and applied it to the back of her thighs, and moving up to her ass. A smile spread across her lips and she adjusted her position, indicating her acceptance.
    Nick knew it was time to proceed with something a bit more daring.
    He took a small pot and splashed it across Zerrin’s body causing her to loudly moan. She briefly fought against the restraints and he patiently waited for her to say the safeword. Sweat beaded on her forehead and she swallowed several times to regain her composure. After several minutes, the word was never said and Nick briefly wondered if he might have gone too far.
    “Please, Sir...” she begged. “...please continue.”
    Seeing her acceptance made Nick’s cock throb with desire. It had been a long while since he’d heard her beg for it, beg for him, wanting to go farther into the unknown. Her moans were so sweet to hear—throaty, encouraging, and full of want.
    No, he would not fuck her at that moment. He had a task to do and his erection would have to wait.
    Splash! He took another pot and repeated the same actions, covering her legs. Once again, Zerrin moaned his name, almost begging him to go on.
    Splash! Zerrin’s moans were incoherent and she shook her head side-to-side. If Nick had to guess, she was wet beyond belief and if he were to touch her, she would probably climax on his fingers. He used up all of the pots until Zerrin’s body was covered in a myriad of colors.
    Nick stood back and admired his creation. His wife looked absolutely beautiful. He took out his camera and snapped a few photos of it. He was going to put the photos in the private photo album they kept in the play room. There were many photos of Zerrin in various positions and situations throughout their time together and he couldn’t wait to add one more photo to the collection.
    “How are you feeling, tesero ?” He asked. “Tell me where your head is.”
    Her head was high, so high above the clouds. She was floating on something. Higher than the highest high; beyond drunk if she was drinking. She had previously gone into subspace before and it was a trip like she’d never experienced.
    But this was different. They connected on another level and she felt the passion renewed in their union. There was no him or her; they were one. “Everywhere.”
    “Good.” He smiled and
