Author's note: I am ridiculously overwhelmed with all of the positive feedback that everyone has been giving me. Thank you all for your kind words! It helps to keep me going. You guys are amazing and I hope that you continue to enjoy the series as I write it. Please know that I am always open for suggestions. With a title like Never Have I Ever, it begs to be put to the test. I want Noah and Piper to have an adventurous relationship, so if you have any suggestions for their list of Nevers that they want to fulfill, whether they are sexual or mundane, please feel free to post them!

Noah's tongue was in my mouth. Again. His left hand cradled the back of my neck. My dress rode up my thighs as I straddled him, more or less pinning him to the corner of the L-shaped sofa. Even though I was on top of him, his movements dictated mine. My hair fell over one side of my shoulders and brushed against the side of his face as he carried on kissing me with abandon. His right hand found the back of my leg. He pulled me into him a little more as his fingers slid beneath the hem of my dress to my naked hip and then my ass. It drove the hardness behind the fabric of his pants in between my legs until it was near to grinding against my sex.
Then he pushed away from me, growling, "Stand up."
I kissed him hard one more time, but obeyed his demand. I had to. I agreed to this, after all. In a near whimper out of having to move away from him, I climbed off the couch to stand in the wide space between it and the coffee table.
He stayed in his position, relaxed against the couch, to look up at me. "I told you earlier I liked that dress on you. I have since decided I think I'd like it better on the floor. Take it off. Heels, as well."
I bent at my waist and unbuckled the straps of my high heels. I stepped out of them and placed them behind me. At first I tried to hesitate and play it shy while I took off the dress but, before I could fully do so, I was already pulling the zipper down on the side of the smooth black cloth. I lightly pushed the straps from my shoulders and the whole thing fell from my torso. I had to scoot out of it at my hips until it drifted to the floor.
With any other man I would have been able to hesitate. I would have been able to be coy and reserved and retain a specific amount of control over myself because the men I used to date were never direct. They never knew what they wanted or if it was all right to have it. If, by some miracle, they did know what they wanted then they certainly had no idea how to go about taking it. Noah was not like any other man I had ever met. All of my reservations fell away around him. My introvert retreated and I was left naked, literally as well as figuratively, as a canvas for him to paint to his desire.
He moved his finger in a circular motion, an un-spoken command to spin around. I turned slowly. My heart rate jumped a little. This was the first time he had seen me undressed in full light instead of the shadows of my apartment. I began to feel self-conscious about what he may consider to be flaws in me. Were my hips too wide? My skin too pale? Was the C cup size of my breasts too small or too large for his liking? All of the unspoken questions crept up on me.
"Good," he said. He held up his hand in a stop signal once I was facing him again. "Kneel with your legs apart."
I dropped down with as much grace as I could manage to my knees to minimize the impact of the hardwood floor. My legs were spread at an acute angle. I sat on the backs of my legs and I placed my hands on my thighs.
"Wider," he said. "Display everything to me like the slut you are."
I loved the way he said that word. I rocked a bit on my knees as they spread apart further. I could already tell I was once again dripping.
While I was perfectly aware of the plethora of possibilities when it came to a Dom and sub relationship, a looming knot tightened in my stomach at the newness of the experience. I understood the allure. I enjoyed the concept of being at the creative sexual mercy of an intelligent man. Under normal circumstances, however, I would never have agreed to something like this so soon after meeting anyone, but Noah held the confidence of a man who knew what he was doing. At least, that was the impression I got at the piano bar. Either way, I would never find out whether or not it was my cup of tea unless I gave it a shot. I reminded myself of my long list of Nevers to instill my own strange form of mental resolve.
"What are you going to do with me?" I asked.
"Nothing you can't handle, my dear. Stay there," he directed.
He got up from the couch, walked across the living room and to the sliding door of the bedroom on my right. I heard the gentle clatter of a drawer or a trunk, I was uncertain which. There was silence for several heavy beats before he emerged. A black riding crop was in his hand. I immediately tensed in both hope and fear of what he would use it for.
He walked back and stood in front of me. The tip of the riding crop reached under my chin. He pulled against gravity to move my head up so I was looking at him. I instinctively adjusted my posture accordingly.
"We have a lot to discuss, little one. First and foremost, while you are here you will always address me as Sir. No exceptions. I will address you as whatever I deem fit. Do you understand?"
"Yes," I said.
He smacked the riding crop against my cheek with a subtle flick of his wrist. It did not so much hurt as it served to bring me to full attention.
"Try again, slut."
"Yes, Sir, I understand."
"Better. I am not a violent man by nature. I would much rather give you pleasure than pain. However, if you fail in your duties you will be punished."
I had to admit that I really sort of liked the idea of a little the pain. He began to slowly circle me, tracing the crop along my bare skin as he spoke.
"Tonight you are mine. I own you. All of you. Your mouth, your flesh, your mind," he paused to smack the riding crop against my lower cheeks. "Your ass, your breasts, and of course," the riding crop slid between my legs to run along my clit and outer lips. I sucked in a breath and shifted a little as it rubbed against me. "Your luscious cunt. All of these things exist solely for my pleasure."
"Yes, Sir," I managed to quake out. The rush at the thought of being owned by him flashed through me.
"Ah, you like the crop on your wet cunt?"
I struggled to keep an even breath. "Yes, Sir, it feels wonderful."
He tapped it against my clit several times, each pat steadily increasing in force. He stopped for a moment then gave my clit one good, hard smack with it. I jerked and squeaked, trying to calm myself down.
He pulled the crop back and kept circling me. "You are to remain naked at all times unless I otherwise specify. I want you open and available to service me, and I like to look at beautiful things, especially when those beautiful things belong to me."
I am fair sure I actually blushed at that.
"You are to remain on your knees at all times unless I otherwise specify. You will do nothing without my permission, including reaching orgasm. That belongs to me too, my little fuck toy."
Oh God, I prayed I could hold out. The way he spoke made me so wet with anticipation I would need to fight the urge to come the instant he touched me.
He continued, "This is not to say I don't desire your input. If you have a suggestion you may say it respectfully and I will decide whether or not it's agreeable. I want you to ask questions if you have them. I can't teach you otherwise. And you will never raise your voice to me. Am I clear?"
