Free Bejeweled and Bedeviled by Tiffany Bryan Page A

short her admiration of the way
his black dress pants strained at the seams, but didn’t prevent her from
checking out the enticing bulge nestled in his crotch. Good grief, the man
could pack the space behind a zipper like there was no tomorrow .
    Dragging her gaze up to his, she was greeted by a heated
gleam of awareness.
    “You’ll have more of my cock than you can handle before too
long.”
    He didn’t know her as well as he assumed if he thought that.
She suppressed a smile.
    He cupped her chin. “That little glint in your beautiful
blue eyes tells me you doubt my words.”
    Curse the too sexy devil. Could he read minds as well as
bodies? She’d have to be more diligent in hiding her emotions.
    He pressed his thumb to her bottom lip, tugged gently and
then released. “Believe me, sweetheart, when I tell you that before I’m through
with you, you won’t know which you want more—for me to stop…or continue. I
didn’t gain my reputation because of my mastery over a female’s body alone. You
might want to keep that in mind. I only come when I’m damn good and ready. I’ll
make you orgasm a dozen times before I find sweet release in your body.”
    A dozen! Seeing no downside, her pussy swelled in anticipation,
but the skipped heartbeat was due wholly to the challenge. Kayden made sure
those were her only reactions. He wasn’t the only one with a reputation to
uphold. Hers was twofold. She never made the same mistake twice—unless it
suited some purpose—and she always accomplished what she set out to do. And
making him lose control just skyrocketed to the top of that list. First step to
accomplishing that goal was learning all his rules before she could break them
and implement a few of her own.
    He released her chin and took the lid off the box. “I hadn’t
planned on giving you this so soon, but after your positive reaction to the
introductory spanking session in your office, I changed my mind.”
    Kayden stared at the flogger. Though no great surprise, her
reaction to it was. Both her breathing and heart rate went into overdrive. She
might have mistaken the reaction for fear, if not for the mounting desire she
felt deep in the pit her stomach. A feeling that intensified when Hunter picked
up the flogger. Innocuous curled on its bed of snowy satin, it looked ten times
more threatening stretched across his large, open palms.
    “How do you like the handle?”
    Kayden tore her wary gaze from the long, soft leather
tentacles at the business end. Handle? Her body jerked and her eyes widened.
Easily nine inches of solid onyx with two rings of staggered diamonds around
its wide circumference and a single row lengthwise along the top, it was
obviously a dildo. And she was pretty damn sure the gems’ placement wasn’t to
assure his grip. Nor was the flare at the base a hand guard. But like the other
toys, it was made to be held in place by the openings provided by the
adjustable beads on her thong.
    Swallowing to clear the large lump in her throat, she
whipped her gaze up to his. He couldn’t mean for her to carry that around
inside…
    One look into his unyielding, fiery eyes said he did.
    From his pocket, he extracted and pressed a button. The
leather tentacles retracted. Another press and they lengthened. “Adjustable for
whatever length of skirt you’re wearing. If you’re wearing one,” he added on a
devious purr.
    How fucking considerate of him ! Well hell, she did
say she’d let him do anything .
    “It didn’t seem cost-effective not to make it a
multi-purpose punishment tool.”
    Had she not feared a test run of his new gadget, she’d have
snidely told him that even with two purposes it was an extravagant investment,
considering their temporary relationship. Was he a major stockholder in a
friggin’ diamond mine?
    She hadn’t realized she’d voiced the question until he
smiled. “Not a stockholder. Part owner. My family owns one.” His smile
widening, he hit another button on the remote. A
