He was tall, hidden by shadows as he walked through the door. She looked up at him, unconsciously covering herself a little, aware of the raw power emanating from him.
"Now," was all he muttered as he approached, but the weight of the last two months was carved into that one syllable. She kept staring at him, eyes wide, unable to speak, unsure of whether she wanted to tell him no, as she should.
He wore black slacks and a white silk shirt. When he was standing over her, his hands went to his collar... the silk fell into her lap. It was soft, warm from his body, and her bare legs tingled as it washed over them. For a second, she stared at it, then back at him. His broad chest was bare and strong. She gasped and pulled away just a little, sliding herself across the floor of a room bare except for a few blankets.
He knelt by her side, his eyes a liquid blue, boring into her, forcing her to stare back into them. His voice was a whisper as he spoke.
"For two months I have kept you here. I've wanted you from the beginning, but you weren't ready. I want you now, and I'll make you ready."
She turned away, unable to move any further from him, the cords around her wrists already straining from the wall.
"Please..." she whispered. It could have been a plea for mercy, or a trembling word of consent; even she didn't know. Except that when he reached out a hand, ran it down her jaw, encircled her breast, she didn't flinch, just stared steadily into the pools of his eyes.
Suddenly, with the growl of a caged tiger breaking loose, he ripped open the collared man's shirt she wore, pushed it down past her hands and over the cords, leaving her slim body bare in the dim light from the candles placed around the room. She gasped, heat rising in her as she saw the hunger in his gaze. Then she felt his hands tracing the swell of her breasts, fingers enclosing a nipple; saw him bend down, felt the flick of his tongue against its hardness, and gave a hoarse cry, straining against his mouth for just a moment before pulling away trembling.
He stood, towering over her small frame, lost in shadows and his own thoughts. His eyes held hers as more cloth dropped to the floor, and he stood naked before her. He saw a flash of need in her eyes, swallowed quickly by apprehension, and felt himself respond to both emotions.
