“Watch his hands,” I told Stella. “See how he holds her? Firm but not painful. Controlling but not cruel. He’s pushing her limits, but he knows exactly where those limits are. He’d never take her somewhere she wasn’t ready to go.”
“How does he know?” Stella asked, and there was genuine curiosity beneath the breathlessness. “How can he tell?”
“Communication. Trust. Time. Sometimes pure instinct.” I let my hand slide fractionally lower on her stomach, testing. She arched into the touch instead of pulling away. “A good dom learns to read his sub’s body like a book. Every shiver, every gasp, every flutter of her pulse tells him what she needs, sometimes before she knows herself.”
“And what…” She swallowed audibly. “What does my body tell you?”
“That you’re curious,” I said, keeping my voice measured. “Aroused. A little scared, but not enough to run. And that no one has ever touched you the way you need to be touched.”
Her breath stuttered. “How do you know—”
“Because if they had, you wouldn’t be trembling in anticipation like this, from nothing more than my hands on your hip and your stomach.” I pressed my palm more firmly against her belly, pulling her back until she was flush against me. Until she could feel exactly what she was doing to me, with the hard length of my cock pressed against the curve of her ass through our clothes. “You’d already know what it felt like to surrender. To have someone take you apart piece by piece and put you back together better than before.”
She made a small sound in the back of her throat. Almost a whimper.
“But no one’s ever done that to you, have they?” I continued. “No one’s ever seen what I see when I look at you. All that need, all that pent-up hunger, buried so deep you probably didn’t even know it was there until tonight.”
“No,” she admitted, and there was something raw in her voice now. “No one’s ever…”
“Then let me be the first.”
