problem.
    “Did you know your brow furrows when you think too much?” Amusement threaded his tone. He pressed his lips to her forehead. “You are mine now, Julie, do you understand?” His deeper, commanding tone returned and an erotic chill ran down her spine. She shuddered.
    Her mind warred with her body, not understanding why Rin’s bossiness turned her on so much.
    “Stop thinking , Julie, and remove your top. I want to see your beautiful breasts in the sunlight.”
    Her eyes widened at his demand while, at the same time, moisture flooded her sex, making it clench at the mere thought.
    Rin tipped her head back. She stared up into his intense, blue gaze. “Are you going to obey me?”
    “Someone might see.” She stumbled, realizing her voice was lower, huskier.
    Rin 's smile was knowing and seductive, but his gaze never left hers.
    “There is no one around, even if someone did see us, they would see only a beautiful woman. Do you trust me, Julie? Do you want to please me?”
    She did trust him, and she did want to please him. She never did anything like this before. Then again, she never believed she could end up living on an alien planet either. Here, before her was another chance to leap forward in her new life. She swallowed. What did she have to lose? He released her chin and he sat back and waited.
    With trembling fingers, she found the hem of her top . She closed her eyes, drew in a deep breath and peeled it up, lifting it over her head.
    The slight breeze from the lake tickled her naked skin and her breathing got a little faster. Her breasts swelled and her nipples hardened into tight points, begging for attention.
    “Beautiful.”
    She opened her eyes at Rin’s softly-spoken, reverent word. His gaze was on her breasts and he licked his lips. “Stay on your knees, little one.” He rose to his feet and circled around her. The heat of his body pressed into her from behind.
    “Thank you for your trust and your obedience.” His hands skimmed in to cup her breasts.
    “Surrender to me , Julie, give me everything I want. In return, I will give you boundless pleasure.” His fingers zeroed in on her nipples, squeezing and rolling them between thumb and forefinger, making her gasp. His lips slid along the side of her neck and she tilted her head to give him better access and a sign of her submission.
    He nipped at her skin. “Are you wet for me , little one?”
    She whimpered and he squeezed her nipples to the point of pain.
    “Not an answer. We make noise during pleasure, but when I ask you a question, I want a proper, verbal answer, understood?”
    He wanted to her to say it out loud . It was hard, bloody hard, but no one else on Ario was as suppressed as she felt. She drew in a shaky breath, knowing she needed to get past these inhibitions of hers and break free and Rin was just the man to help her.
    “Y… yes, Sir.”
    “Good girl. We’ll start again. Are you wet for me?”
    “Yes , Sir, I’m wet.”
    “Not so hard now . For that you get a reward. Legs apart.”
    She widened her legs and he slid one hand down under her skirt, through the damp curls of her mons and slipping through her wet folds. She gasped when his fingers easily found her clit and he rubbed the swollen bud in hard, firm circles. Her hips thrust forward into his hand, her body trembled, wanting and needing more. He stilled his hand and she groaned.
    “No, little one, I am in control. Remain still , or I will withdraw my reward.”
    She relaxed her body back into him and his wonderfully talented fingers resumed their firm rubbing. “Good, very good. Relax, surrender to me. Your body is mine to play with.”
    Oh , god, it was a struggle not to move, but there, stuck in the back of her mind were the words I want to please him, I want to please him…
    Her mind snapped, blanking, her cry renting the air while her body suddenly tipped over the edge, static pleasure racing into her every nerve ending, zinging and tingling with
