Right after stepping out of the bathtub, Kano started to dry himself off with a towel while Nary put on a white bathrobe. Her eyes wandered to him as he continued to dry himself off, she couldn't help but admire his perfectly sculpted body. Their conversation had freed her from the emotional block the nightmare had created. And now that he promised to never become the man from her nightmare, her desire for him was growing. The Aussie was oblivious to her eyeing him as he finished drying himself and wrapped the towel around his waist. To distract herself and avoid being lovingly teased by him, she walked over to the dual sinks where he followed her. They followed through with their nightly personal grooming routine.

Kano headed for the dresser to retrieve a fresh pair of boxer-briefs to sleep in. The minute he gripped the drawer's handles he heard Nary talk to him in a stern voice.

"What do you think you're doing?" Standing by the bed, she crossed her arms.

He was a bit confused by her tone and body language, "Eh, getting ready for bed?"

Speaking in a lower register, she said, "We made a bet before playing mini golf and tonight," her hips swayed as she strolled over to him, "you're going to honor it."

Absolute elation pulled at his lips and filled his eyes, "Oh I will, Babe…I fuckin' will!"

"That's exactly what I love to hear!" With her right hand she suddenly pulled off his towel then tossed it into the bathroom.

A small snicker came from him at her bold action. Seeing her eyes devour his flawless naked physique excited him. When she stood behind him and delivered a hard slap to his firm backside, he couldn't help but happily hum.

"Get your ass over to the bed, now!" She ordered and smirked when he immediately obeyed and rested his back against the pillows.

With a cheeky smile on his lips, he asked, "Is there anything else I can do for you, Love?"

She opened the nightstand's drawer and pulled out two red long satin sashes, "Yes, do you consent to being tied up?"

His eyes and smile were brighter than the sun, "Fuck yeah I do!" He eagerly held out his arms and watched her begin to tie his wrist to the right black wooden bed post.

The shiny sash felt silky against his wrist, it was by far the most comfortable restraints he's ever used. Based on the appearance and premium quality of the sash's fabric, he knew it was expensive but not lavish. It suited her style, sexy, simple and sophisticated.

Although he was no stranger to kink, she was his first partner who actually loved him. His ego grew at the thought that only he was able to make her feel secure enough to explore the adventurous side of sex. It also exhilarated him to know that no one else could get this proper blue blood woman to express her sexuality without any shame. The effort she put into it while also having both of their needs in mind, it made everything feel much more special to him.

After she finished tying his wrist to the left bed post, she asked, "Comfortable? Or are they too tight"

"They're wonderful, Kitten! I never thought I could feel so cheap and fancy at the same time!" He told her as a wide grin came to his lips.

An adorable giggle came from her, "We'll I'm glad to hear it. My shopping trip yesterday was very fun and productive."

With a giddy laugh, he answered, "Oh Babe, I can't wait to see all the goodies you got and how you're gonna use them on me!"

"Well, that depends…" She cupped his face.

"On what?" He turned his head and kissed her fingertips.

She loved feeling his soft lips and beard underneath her hand but kept her face straight, "If you can behave yourself."

He watched her stand up and strut over to the front of the bed, "You know that I can, Puddin'! Remember that foot massage I gave ya?"

The devilish look on his face caused her to smirk, "It was unforgettable…but that was before we were together. And if there's one thing I've learned during this trip, it's that you used to be a very bad boy." She grasped her hips

"Guilty! But you gotta admit, I've been pretty good since you came along," he bragged.

"You have, but I need to ensure that you continue to behave." Her hands trailed down the bathrobe's neckline.

His gaze followed her hands before returning to her face, "And how are ya gonna do that?"

She grasped the robe's belt, "By using a very effective deterrent." After pulling at the belt the bathrobe opened allowing her to slowly peel it off her bare body until it pooled at her feet.

Licking his lips, his eyes roamed all over her perfect figure. As enticing as she was, he liked toying with her and said with an unimpressed look, "Is that all you got?"

Instead of immediately replying, she crawled onto the bed but sat against the lower right bed post. A thrill went through her when she saw the mix of confusion and irritation on his face. Based on his reaction, she knew that he expected her to place herself in between his open legs. She enjoyed frustrating Kano, he admitted to liking it and she was able to see the kind influence she had over him.

She bent her closed legs as she scoffed, "That's not what I was talking about." Reaching above her head, she gripped the bed post with both hands, "Torture's a great deterrent, Kano."

When her hands started to lazily stroke the post, he barely managed to keep his voice steady as he smirked, "Doll, I've been tortured before. I can take whatever you do to me."

Nary couldn't wait to prove him wrong, "Really? By the time I'm finished, you'll be a quivering mess."

He was about to respond with a snappy line until her hands slid down the post and began playing with her breasts. She exhaled his name making his mind go blank and his body squirm, "Holy fuuck! That's so goddamn hot!"

"Mmm, I know you love watching and making me come…So, just in case you ever get tempted to go back to your old ways and hurt me. Tonight, I'm reminding you on what you'll be missing out on." Her legs slowly spread open as her right hand glided down to her sex where she touched herself and released a long moan.

His hips involuntarily snapped up at her action; he groaned, "Fuckin' hell! Ba-Babe, I'd never hurt you! I love you too fuckin' much and uh, I'd never been with a woman as incredible as you are-shiiit!" He whimpered at the sight of her fingers sliding inside of her. When he tried to move closer the satin sashes stopped him provoking the champion to shout a curse.

A wicked giggle left her lips, "I-I know but you were doubting me so you nee-need to learn a lesson…mmm! And Kano I've never done this for anyone befor-oooh!" She lifted her chin in air the relishing the quick pleasurable spark that ran through her body. Nary returned her attention back to his handsome yet tormented face.

Despite the game she was playing, he knew she was being honest and that last line made him rock-hard. It invigorated Kano to see her show a private side of herself that only he was fortunate enough to witness. On the other hand, not being able to touch her or himself was a kind of delightful torture he had never experienced until that moment. In the back of his mind, he knew that the arduous buildup would deliver a grand payoff.

Although this wasn't the first time she had pleasured herself, it had never felt so intense. On those other occasions she was looking for a quick release due to boredom, loneliness or stress. This time around, she wanted to please herself, tease Kano while also reminding him the power she had as his lover and partner. She also wanted to display how much she trusted him. All those layers enhanced her senses until pure euphoria overwhelmed her body and mind making her shake, moan and holler.

Once he saw her reach her edge, he fruitlessly tried to free himself wanting to desperately touch and taste her. He reluctantly gave up and settled for watching her bare glistening body recover. With a deep swallow he eagerly watched her crawl over and straddle his right thigh. There was zero hesitation when she brought her right fingers to his lips, he sucked off the arousal off her delicate digits. Her amazing taste drew a deep groan from him until she replaced her fingers with her mouth.

When he pulled away from her to get some air, he said, "Motherfucker, that was painful! And perfect! But please, Love, I-…" He was surprised by the sweet kiss she planted on his nose.

Using her right hand, she loosely held the side of his neck and stroked his jaw with her thumb, "How badly does my Black Dragon wanna come?"

"So fucking bad! Seriously, I think I might die!" He frantically nodded causing her to laugh.

"Well, we wouldn't want that. Promise to do whatever I say and I'll give you what you need," she grabbed him by the hair pulling his head back and smiled when he gasped, "promise me!"

"Oh god I promise! I'll do whatever you want, Peaches!" He whimpered at the sudden yet marvelous sensation of her heated wet tongue running up his throat.

"Good boy," she purred into his ear and grinned at him dreamily sighing before releasing his hair. "Now close your eyes and don't open them until I say so."

Kano obeyed then heard her opening the nightstand's drawer. One of the items crinkled and the other had some weight. He could also hear an object being dragged against the hardwood floor. Some relief came to him when her lips showered kisses on his neck while her left hand briefly cupped his face before sliding to his chest. Even though she was being dominate, he could still feel the love in her every touch and kiss.

The sudden warmth, wetness and strength of her hand wrapping around his manhood was a shocking and electrifying surprise. He cooed but kept his eyes shut not wanting to break his promise.

She reluctantly stopped kissing him and held his face with her free hand, "Kano, look at me." Her thumb caressed his jaw while he obliged, "Good boy! Now, who do you belong to you?"

He quickly answered, "You and only you!"

With a naughty curl of her full lips, she replied, "Correct," she started slowly stroking his length earning a long groan from her lover. "And whose cock is this?"

Hearing her talk dirty sent an ecstatic jolt through his body, "All yours, Sweetheart! Shiiit, you can take whatever the fuck you want from me whenever you damn well please!" A content smile was on his face as he melted into her touch.

Nary kissed his cheek, "Mmm, that's exactly what I wanna hear!" She increased her pace.

Until recently, she was never fond of this particular act but it felt different and incredible with Kano. She literally had him in her hands after he fully submitted his body and heart to her. It was moving, enthralling and she couldn't but also feel so empowered. Based on his breathing and how flushed he was, she knew he was close. She wanted him to experience how amazing he made her feel during the first night of their holiday. Using her arcana, she sent micro vibrations through her left hand and whispered praises into his ear.

When it came to sex, Kano had loved being only spontaneous and used to cackle at the thought of having a plan. Now, he realized how having that perspective was narrowminded. This wasn't the first time she had unintentionally changed his mind and was grateful for it. He knew it worked both ways in their relationship and loved how it provided a balance that was needed. It touched his heart to see how much preparation she put into tonight. His thoughts were beautifully interrupted when he felt tremors emanating from the tight grip she had on his manhood. Stars were everywhere as he got lost in his heavenly eruption.

A brilliant smile pulled across her face once he came. Soon after his recovery, she gave him a soft kiss before using her right hand to untie the sashes. In a smug tone, she ordered, "I told you I'd turn you into a quivering mess, now take care of it!"

His eyes followed her gaze to the nightstand. There was a bottle of lubricant and a package of wet disposable washcloths. On the floor in front of the nightstand was a small waste basket, "Will do, Love!"

Keeping her eyes on him, she enjoyed watching him clean his arousal from her hand and body then did the same for himself. Sonya and even he admitted to being selfish, so to see him be so thoughtful and caring with her was heartening.

Aftercare wasn't a priority for him but like many other things, he liked making an exception for Nary. In fact, he loved being able to care for her in any capacity. Her job required her to tend to others' needs, so he enjoyed taking the responsibility off her shoulders.

While he threw the last washcloth into the waste basket, he asked, "Babe, please tell me there's more?!"

"There definitely is! Get the bigger pillow and shopping bag on the lower right shelf." Her head tipped towards the closet.

"I'm on it, Babe!" He was brimming with absolute glee when he got off the bed.

Keeping her eyes on his perfectly sculpted and firm backside, she licked her lips. When he turned around, she made her mouth into a flat line, "You did behave yourself, so I won't have to tie you up this time."

With a shake of his head, he assured her, "You won't and fuck, I really need to touch you!"

"As long as you listen, you will," she moved to the middle of the bed and took the right side's pillows placing them at the foot of the bed. "Put the thick high edge against the headboard and," she reached into the shopping bag and pulled out a long semi-circle bolster pillow, "this headrest will make things more comfortable for you."

"Aww Cupcake, you're always so thoughtful!" The corners of his lips pulled up as he put the headrest near the top of the wedge pillow.

Extending her arms to him, she grasped his hands, "Well, I love you and being mindful of your needs comes with being your girlfriend."

Her kind words made him smile and plant kisses on her knuckles, "I love you too, Baby and every day, I'll show you how much."

She leaned forward and brushed his lips against his. "Good," after releasing her left hand from his right one, she snapped her fingers then pointed at the wedge pillow, "now get on your back! Don't make me repeat myself!"

He obeyed and chuckled, "I wouldn't dare, Sweetface!"

With both hands, she roughly opened his bent legs causing him to gasp then giggle. The sight of her between his legs was an immense turn on.

In a commanding voice, she stated, "You can't touch me until I give you permission, understand?"

"Yes, Peaches." He reached back and gripped the headboard's wooden bars.

The sensation of her silky hands caressing his thighs provoked a lengthy exhale to escape his lips. As her hands slid up to his abdominal v-line he became more aroused. He looked down to see her gaze locked on his while moving her hands upwards. The slow pace of her touch paired with the affection and desire he saw in her eyes was really doing it for him.

One part of her wondered why she waited so long to be dominate in bed. The thrill, freedom and power she experienced was exquisite. Yet, the other half of her loved that Kano was the only man to make her feel comfortable and confident enough to be a domme. His openness, the trust he had in her and the respect for her boundaries added another level of intimacy to their relationship. It also didn't hurt that he was the most gorgeous man she had ever allowed into her bed and heart. If she hadn't seen it for herself, she would have thought that Sonya and Cole were lying about his excessive drinking. His chiseled abs seemed to tell a different story as her fingers stroked them before heading for his pecs. She could feel herself becoming wet at the mere sight of him being so vulnerable let alone the erotic sounds he was making. However, she wouldn't let her arousal reach her face.

Cupping his firm pecs, she asked, "Does my Black Dragon want me to fuck him?"

With his hands still gripping the headboard's bars, he wildly nodded, "Mmm, fuck yes! Love, one night without being inside of you was fucking torture! Everything always feels so wrong when we're not together!"

Nary barely stopped herself from openly fawning over his compliment by clenching her jaw and sternly insisted, "Show me how badly you want me! Beg me to fuck you!"

Kano was thrilled by her demand and was about to obey until she lightly held his nipples with her thumbs and fingers. Little pulsations went through them, "Ooooh muthafucka!" He cried out in surprise and delight.

A small cackle came from her mouth, "And if you come while begging me, you're spending the night on the couch!"

When she increased the power of her arcana, he struggled with his words but was determined not to fail, "Gah-got it, Babe! Shiiit! Please fuck me! I've learned me-me lesson and I've been behaving myself today! And eh, I…I need you so bad, Baby! I promise to give you whatever the fuck you want, whenever you want it! Just please fuck me and let me feel how lovely, wa-warm, wet and strong you are!"

His words riled her up, she released the harden tips of his pecs and crawled upward until her knees were on either side of his head, "Good boy, you deserve a reward. Now," she removed his hands from the bars and moved them to her hips, "show me what else you can do with that smart mouth of yours!"

He was more than eager to show her, "Aw Angel, it would be an honor!"

When she lowered herself onto his mouth, she whimpered at him unleashing a loud long moan that vibrated against her sensitive bud. His reaction to having her womanhood on his lips was unintentional. Tasting her dripping nectar and feeling her warm soft flesh reminded him of a past job.

After things went awry, his crew wandered through the desert until they finally came upon a small town and its outdoor market. They immediately bought water to drink and douse their heads. He remembered feeling refreshed and satiated after a long dry spell. His lips curved once he realized that experience reflected his relationship with Nary. After not having any real love for years, she came along and ended his drought.

Curling her fingers tightly over the headboard's bars, she rocked her hips against his face. Her dark eyes closed and she lifted her chin in the air savoring the sensation of his expert mouth. Although they had been intimate several times, this was the first time he had pleased her in this specific position. It didn't surprise the young doctor to see him have as much gusto and skill when he tasted her for the first time. There was one difference she noticed, instead of digging his fingers into her hips or flesh of her backside like he often did, his thumbs were tenderly stroking her hip bones. After tilting her head down and meeting his stare, she saw the sheer devotion and lust in his piercing blue eyes. Her heart soared at the lovely image and feeling. Despite how close Nary was to her peak, she needed to feel him inside the depths of her body and soul.

Kano was confused and startled when she clutched his hair and tugged, "Sta-stop, Kano, please stop!"

As she lifted herself off his face, he asked, "Babe, is something wrong? Did I hurt you?"

Shaking her head, she gave him a reassuring grin while moving down his body, "I'm…I'm good, I miss feeling you deep inside of me." Her hand briefly rested on his face before she kissed him and tasted herself but didn't care.

He smiled once she ended the kiss, "Goddamn it I love you!"

"Love you too, Baby…" She straddled his hips then grabbed his length guiding it into her. A loud moan escaped her lips as she held onto his pecs for leverage and cherished the feeling of his manhood filling her. Everything seemed right with the world whenever his body was melded with hers.

His eyes rolled into the back of his head the moment their bodies meshed. Once his eyes opened, he watched her slowly rotate her hips and instinctively held onto them. All the hairs on his on bare skin stood on end at the wonderful sensation of her writhing against him. Kano wasn't religious, but being intimate with Nary always felt like his spirit was ascending to another realm.

After gyrating her hips in the opposite direction, she began making love to him. She breathed out his name following a deliciously deep and slow stroke of her hips. Due to his expert mouth, her body was already so sensitive and ready for a release.

"Kah-Kano, I'm almost there…" She told him in between pants.

"Me too-Ooh, Love! Can I try something?" He stroked her side.

"Yes, be-be quick!" She nodded.

Kano licked his fingers and swirled her left breast with his wet digits.

"Ooooh my god!" She cried out before finally reaching her sweet satisfying end.

A brief smile spread across his face until he was slammed with waves of ecstasy. A thin sheen of perspiration covered their trembling bodies as their labored breathing filled the room. The moment she regained her composure, she rested on her side with her head on the bolster pillow. Her blissful gaze locked with his bright eyes. With her soft hand she caressed his chest and pecked his lips when he began to draw light patterns on her lower back with his finger.

He broke the silence, "All right, our first night here was utter shit, tonight was fucking perfect!"

They both chuckled until he grasped the back of her head and softly tasted her perfect lips.

Following breakfast, they drove to the airport and over three hours later, they arrived at Yulara's Ayers Rock/Connellan Airport. It didn't take her long to realize where they were going.

"Uluru! I always wanted to go there but never got the chance!" She bounced on the balls of her feet after they stood up to exit the airplane.

"That's right, Love! But don't get it wrong, this isn't another tourist trap! It's one of the most breathtaking sites to behold…only second to me, of course!" His brows wiggled while his lips formed into a smug smirk.

Rolling her eyes, she giggled and playfully tapped his chest, "God, your ego is the only thing bigger than that slab of rock!" She put on her red sling backpack.

"Guilty! But seriously, there's a personal reason why I'm bringing you here-but! I'll tell ya once we get there, Sweet Pea!" He wagged his finger at her and cackled when she pouted.

"Tease!" Nary mockingly squinted her eyes at him and held her hips.

Leaning his head forward and not hiding his amusement, he remarked, "Babe, it takes one to know one!"

Before she could pull her head back, he quickly kissed her lips, "You ass!" She nearly hissed.

With a scoff, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her temple, "Aww, Angel, I love your pet names for me!"

She reached over and gave his backside a hard squeeze and giggled when he jumped, "Tit for tat!" Her hand then rested on his back.

He laughed, "I love it when you talk dirty!"

The happy couple chuckled while stepping into the airport.

The minute they arrived at Uluru, Nary was in awe of the massive red sandstone formation. All the photos and videos she had seen didn't do the famous landmark justice. With one arm, she held onto his torso as she took photos with her phone.

Kano loved seeing her gaze at the huge rock formation in pure wonderment. In a way, he found it fitting how they first met and fell madly in love at another enormous slab of stone.

Her attention turned to the charming Aussie once he started to speak, "It was eh, it was a few weeks after me mum died. I didn't wanna go anywhere. I wanted to be alone. Uncle Jack brought me here; we made a day of it. I was having a great time with him, it felt good to smile and laugh again." A fond look came across his face when he remembered how warm and solid his late uncle's hug felt and how his gruff laugh sounded like his. The instant she threaded her fingers into his, he smiled at her and saw the support in her dark enchanting eyes. Lifting their hands to his lips, he kissed her knuckles.

"Then he told me that the world can be hard and painful…but also amazing and beautiful like this rock. And that I-um, I shouldn't shut the world out or else I'll miss out on all of its incredible places and people." He held her face and gently brushed her cheek bones with his thumbs. The words flowed from his soul, "Much like this rock, you're strong, vibrant, spectacular and you're always gonna be there for me."

His honest and beautiful words and adoring touch brought tears to her eyes and reached into the depths of her heart. No one else had such tremendous impact on her like he did. She placed her hands over his heart, "I will, no matter what, Kano. You have all of me and you always will."

Before he could draw her into a kiss, it began raining causing several sparkling streams to flow all over the edges of the gigantic rock. They took a moment to take in the dazzling view with all their senses.

He laughed as she removed an umbrella from her backpack, "Really, Sunshine? It rarely rains here." He told her while standing under the open umbrella with her.

"I know, but I had a gut feeling we'd see something magical today. I was right…" Her lips curled into a soft smile.

His felt warmth spreading across his chest at the image of her luminous face, "Well, two magical things happened here, Love."

She hooked her free arm around his neck closing the distance between them. Rain continued to fall and the waterfalls steadily flowed over Uluru. All of that seemed to fade away as they poured all of the joy, gratitude, love and loyalty they had for each other into their kisses.

For dinner, they decided to have a night-in and ordered delivery from a highly rated Iranian restaurant. They were in the living room when fifteen minutes later, the doorbell rang.

He suspiciously eyed the front door, "Bullshit, no one delivers that fast!"

"I'll check the security camera," she pulled up the home security app on the house's tablet and bounced off the sofa, "Sonya's here!"

"Shit, I didn't expect to see Blondie so soon!" Kano followed Nary.

Nary opened the front door and hugged her friend, "Sonya, it's so great that you're here! I missed you!"

The blonde soldier embraced her, "Me too, but this isn't a social call. One of the champions that we need to recruit is here."

Kano excitedly said, "Get the fuck out! Who is it, Girly?"

Folding her toned arms, she looked directly at the Aussie, "It's Alya."

His stomach dropped, "Please tell me, you're fucking with me?"

Concerned and puzzled, Nary asked him, "Kano, who is she?"

After glancing at the floor and clearing his throat, he admitted, "Peaches, Alya is Jarek's sister."
