CHAPTER 36

DAY 73

Wednesday

FINN POV

Steph twisted my arm behind my back and pulled up to put pressure on my shoulder, making me drop to my knees. I barely resisted crying out in pain. I could have flipped this, but I didn't want to hurt her… ever. Fortunately, the targets she'd be taking down wouldn't have the training I have. So, I endured and let her practice her take-down maneuvers on me.

A not so gentle push between the shoulder blades had me on my stomach. Seconds later, she had my hands cuffed behind my back. "You're getting much better," I said with the side of my face pressed into the mats.

"Thank you," she practically sang the words, "I think I like having you at my mercy." Hearing her confidence had my dick hardening. She straddled me and leaned forward, kissing the back of my neck. She scooted down my body so her lips could track kisses down my spine. It was erotic as hell.

"Uncuff me, and I'll show you something you'll like much better."

"All in good time," she teased. "Now spread your legs so I can pat you down for weapons." We both knew our time was almost over. Instead of dwelling on it, we became insatiable. The sex was amazing.

I laughed but did as demanded. "What happened to the woman who was afraid to get out of her car when she got here?"

"She realized you're a giant teddy bear, not the big bad wolf." She pulled the waistband of my shorts down and bit my butt cheek lightly before soothing the sting with her tongue.

I groaned with impatience to get my hands on her. "You'll pay for that."

"So violent." She laughed.

"What are you going to do to me, Ms. Plum?" This was her show. I was just along for the ride, and a hell of a one it was going to be.

"I usually correct people when they call me that, but in this case, I like it." She smoothed her hand over my ass cheeks again. "Right now, all I want is for you to lie still while I strip-search you."

My whole body was shaking with laughter. "Do your worst, but when I get loose, payback will be swift."

"Oh, I'm counting on it."

I swallowed hard as she slowly slid my shorts all the way off. She slid back up when I was completely naked, stopping to knead and caress my ass. I might have whimpered.

"You're being very good. I think you need a reward."

When she unlocked the cuffs, I tried to turn over. I needed my hands on her… bad.

"Uh uh uh. Not yet."

I held still while she tied my discarded shirt over my eyes. I was so turned on that my dick threatened to lift me off the mat.

"Now you can roll over, but slowly."

Helpless to resist, I rolled onto my back.

"Put your hands above your head." She clicked the cuff on my right wrist and then my left before sitting back. She was in control, and I was powerless to disobey.

I tried to bring my arms forward, but they wouldn't move. She'd cuffed me to the leg of the weight bench. "You better not lose the key."

"You're safe with me, I promise." I already knew that, but she said it so earnestly that all these feelings crashed around in my chest.

"I know. I trust you, Stephanie." A few seconds went by, and I began to worry.

"That means a lot, Finn. More than you know." Her voice was unsteady, so she cleared her throat. "Are you prepared for your sentencing?" All I could do was nod because whatever she came up with would be the best kind of punishment.

I heard her get up. A thrill like nothing I'd ever experienced ran through me when I thought about all the things she could do to me. When she came back, she straddled me again, but this time I felt the wetness between her legs on my cock and knew she was as naked as I was.

Something cold brushed my chest, making my stomach muscles contract. My skin was so hot with lust that it felt like I was on fire. At first, I thought it was an ice cube, but then she took it away and moaned. "Chocolate and raspberry, my favorite." She was torturing me with a smoothie popsicle I'd made a few days ago.

She trailed the popsicle around each of my nipples so slowly that I thought I would go mad if I didn't get my hands on her soon. "I want to see you." I should have been embarrassed that I was begging.

"Soon. I have things to do first." Her tongue traced the trail of melted smoothie around my nipples and down my chest to my groin. I shivered and almost came right then.

Luckily, I heard a familiar foil packet tearing. I let out a breath of anticipation so strong my dick swelled even more. I didn't want to be blindfolded when she sank down on me. "I want to watch." She paused and removed the blindfold. We stared into each other's eyes as she slowly slid down my length until I was sheathed inside her. We sighed.

She lifted and pushed back down, slowly at first and then faster. My hands were useless. I couldn't touch her clit or help her as she worked to find her release. This was her show. Looking me in the eye, she placed her hand between her legs, rubbing slowly at first, then more frantically. My mouth hung open as I watched her use my body to take her pleasure. She was extraordinary. Perfect. So beautiful. When I felt her walls contract, I knew she was close. I wanted to go over with her, so I watched her face to notice her cues. There. Right there. That spark in her eyes was all I needed. I bucked my hips as she rocked against me, and we both came.

She fell onto my chest, and I wanted badly to hold her. "Uncuff me."

She stretched a little, but not enough for my cock to slip out of her. "Maybe I want another round." She squeezed her walls around me.

"Do you think I have anything left inside me?"

"It'd be fun to see." For a minute, I thought she was serious, and I was afraid I would disappoint her. I was older than her, and after the most mind-blowing sex of my life, I wasn't sure I had another round in me. When she unlocked the cuffs, I pulled her to me and held her tight.

DAY 75

Friday

STEPH POV

I'd shimmied down the rope, the last obstacle on the course, when Finn asked, "Want to go into town with me? We can take the Charger."

"Seriously, the Charger?" He knew riding in his beloved car was too tempting to resist. "What's so important that it can't wait till Sunday?"

"FedEx is holding a package for pickup." He shrugged. "Maybe we could get dinner while we're out." It wasn't the first time we'd eaten in a restaurant together, but it was usually on errand day.

The way he asked me was so casual, and now he wouldn't look at me, which told me my answer was important to him. "Are you asking me on a date?"

He looked up. "What if I am?"

"Do I get to drive?" I was sure he never let anyone drive his baby… not even Oz.

"You know where the key is." Interesting.

"What should I wear? I didn't bring a dress."

"You look beautiful in everything."

I placed my palm on his chest. "You're a smooth operator, aren't you?"

He chuckled, and his cheeks reddened a little. "Oh, yeah. That's me, Mr. Smooth."

AN: What do you think of Steph getting more adventurous sexually? Her confidence is growing on all fronts. Where will Finn will take Steph on their date? Leave a review and let me know.
