A laugh encompassed her in its bright levity. “Yeah. We’ll make it work.”
“I didn’t mean you in me.” She squirmed as she uttered the denial. Though now that he mentioned it…he was awfully big. “I was talking about this.”
Ryder moaned when she held up the cock ring. “It’s stretchy. Give it here. I’ll show you.”
He accepted the toy then lunged for a side table marked Supplies. From within a drawer he took a condom, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of lube. Then he hopped onto the bed and patted the space beside him.
It didn’t take her long to comply. Snuggled up to his side, she watched as he sliced open the packaging to free her goody. Then he ripped the foil package and rolled the condom over his impressive length. Part of her sighed. She wouldn’t get to feel him bare inside her. Though she took the pill and the greeter had ensured her everyone was safe, it probably wasn’t proper protocol for a first hookup. Damn.
Once he’d sheathed himself, he flipped open the cap on the lube and squirted a dab onto his fingertip. He smeared the gel along the inside of the cock ring then stretched the material as wide as he could make it go. “Hold me still, will you?”
Like she’d decline that offer. Linley grasped his shaft around the base and pointed his cock out from his body. She loved the pulse of his heartbeat beneath her fingers.
“That might have been a strategic error,” he gritted out the words. “I think I get a little bit thicker every time we make contact.”
“Mmm,” she purred.
With his jaw clenched, he poked the head of his cock through the ring then worked it down his length. He had to tug it past several bulges of the veins and the thickness of his shaft, but eventually the pliable material nudged her hand. She let go and allowed him to finish the job.
Expecting him to swoop in on her, she was surprised when he instructed, “Get on your hands and knees. Rest your face and shoulders on the bed. Keep your ass up high.”
When she didn’t comply fast enough, he smacked her ass. As if that was going to make her hurry. Hell, she might dally if that would be her reward.
“Nice try, wildcat.” He chuckled. “If you wanted to be spanked, you should have opted for the Basement. Maybe next time I’ll take you to the flogger room.”
Linley whimpered. She wiggled her ass as she settled into the position he’d indicated. Her breasts felt heavy as they hung beneath her. If he didn’t fuck her soon, she’d go nuts. Or start begging. She wasn’t sure which was worse.
The distinct click of the lube opening again came an instant before something cool and smooth prodded her ass. She yelped and would have jumped, but Ryder’s other hand was there, pressing between her shoulder blades, pinning her in place.
“I don’t think so.” He kissed the swell of her ass. “You’re not going anywhere. I know you don’t really want to.”
“Don’t tease me,” she begged. “Just do this. I’m sorry I joked about the strap-on.”
Ryder laughed. The sound never failed to stir her insides. “This isn’t retaliation, wildcat. This is me taking care of you, whether you know it or not.”
His finger pressed a bit harder on the clenched portal to her ass. He massaged lube into her, making him slide around. The sensations were powerful. More than she’d imagined. Taboo and exciting all at once.
And then he breached her resistance. His finger sank inside her. A groan burst from her chest at the simultaneous discomfort and pleasure. He continued to rub out the sting, leaving only rapture in his wake. “There you go. That’s it. Focus on the good stuff.”
She did as he instructed and found herself rocking back, asking for more.
Ryder withdrew instead. She cried out, uncaring about the level of her pitifulness at the moment.
“Shh.” He petted her flank as the now-familiar double snap of the lube opening and shutting was followed by the press of something larger than his finger. Smoother and rounder too. This time it penetrated more easily. The bulge grew uncomfortable then slipped in just before she could object. A few seconds later he repeated the process, this time with the next larger bump.
Soon she was alternating between relieved and desperate moans.
“You’re doing so well, wildcat.” He nipped her ass, making her jump. “If you can handle this while I’m fucking you, maybe we’ll see about graduating to something bigger, hmm?”
The swirl he added to the forward motion of the toy in her ass left her unable to reply. She figured her moans and sighs were enough affirmation.
When the base of the toy nestled into her crack, they both groaned. “You’ve got it all. Now hold it tight. Don’t let go or I’ll be disappointed. Maybe you’ll get that spanking you want after all.”
Linley considered intentionally disobeying him but dismissed the idea out of hand. It multiplied her pleasure to satisfy him. When he flipped her onto her back, the expression on his face left no doubt he was enjoying every second of their liaison as much as she was.
If anything, his cock jutted out farther and thicker than before, maybe courtesy of the cock ring, but she liked to think she’d had something to do with it. The manipulation of her body came easily for him, and they both enjoyed the results.
The intensity of the rhythmic clenches already pulsing within her alarmed Linley. Could she hold off long enough to shatter with Ryder?
He didn’t waste any time in settling between her thighs. His cock notched in the opening to her pussy. While he covered her mouth with his and kissed her tenderly, he worked his thick cock into her channel.
The arch of her back grew more extreme as he filled her up. The heaviness of his cock parting her tissues and caressing the ache in them made her clutch him to her. Nails dug into the thick muscles of his back. Afraid to blink and miss even an instant of this amazing connection, she stared into his eyes.
He returned the fierce concentration.
Still his body moved, as if acting on pure instinct. He drilled into her over and over until the toy she’d selected nudged her clit. She moaned when it ensured every journey of his hips added the perfect stimulation to drive her closer to orgasm.
No, no, no.
She hadn’t realized she’d yelled the denial until Ryder questioned her.
“I’m too close. Slow down. Give me a second. A break.” She tried to stave off the impending rush.
This time his wicked grin incited a riot low in her belly. “Oh, wildcat. Now this is for teasing me. Hold on.”
She gripped him as he flicked a remote she hadn’t even noticed earlier. The vibrator strapped to him kicked in to a pleasant buzz that quickly ratcheted up to undeniable proportions. Ryder claimed her mouth, sucking on her tongue as he hammered into her. The tension in her body ensured she squeezed the beads in her ass, sending lightning bolts up her spine. The combination of stimulation was undeniable.
Linley shattered around him, hugging his cock—and the toy in her ass—over and over as she came in an endless battery of rapturous waves.
Before she’d finished shuddering, he withdrew.
“Wait.” He hadn’t come yet had he? Did she miss it in her complete abandon?
“No time.” He flipped her over as if she weighed nothing. “Take a deep breath.”
She tried through the panting that overwhelmed her as Ryder’s hand nudged her ass cheeks. The beads being tugged against her still trembling ring of muscles triggered aftershocks that felt more intense than most climaxes she’d had before tonight.
And when she was empty, he didn’t waste a second before taking action to fill her up. This time she would be even fuller. He shredded the plastic housing the rabbit vibrator and used the copious fluids dripping from her pussy to insinuate it deep in her body. Flicking on both the rotation of the shaft as well as the buzz of the clit stimulator, he refused to allow her spasming body to quiet.
Just when she prepared to beg for mercy, she saw the cock ring land on the bed beside her. Her eyes widened as she realized his intentions.
“Breathe deep. Slow. Push out and let me in. Relax, wildcat.” He didn’t give her time to balk. Instead he fed his cock into her readied ass.
Thankfully, he was strong as hell. He kept her from thrashing and dislodging his shaft. The white-hot pain that accompanied his introduction into her virgin territory didn’t last long. Though she would have reared up and smacked him away in the first instant, by the time he’d finished impaling her, the shock had turned to something decidedly more alluring.
“Jesus. You’re tight and hot.” He bit the intersection of her neck and shoulder as he blanketed her back. His animalistic grunts accompanied his movements within her. And before long, she lost track of everything except the complete meltdown of her inner core.
“I can feel the rabbit in you.” He groaned. “It’s squirming against me, through you. Feels fucking fantastic. Tell me you love this too.”
“Yes!” She screamed the truth. And his name. Over and over.
Until nothing would come from her throat except for the moans, gasps, and curses that proved he’d forced her to surrender completely to his will and the needs of her body. Another bout of ecstasy flooded her.
She imploded around Chase.
Her ass, her pussy, her soul—no part of her remained unaffected by their encounter.
This time he allowed himself to unravel with her. He pounded into her, his big hands gripping her waist as he rose up for better leverage.
Slamming into her once, twice, more, he finally drove deep and held perfectly still. He shouted her name before a series of grunts mimicked the pulse of his cock in her ass.
Relief and euphoria mixed within her, knowing she’d granted him even a fraction of what he’d gifted her. She smiled as she let the emotions carry her away for a while.
The heat and weight of Ryder on top of her enhanced her bliss tenfold.

Long minutes later, Linley shifted, resting on the pillows so that she faced Chase as they snuggled, replete.
“What happens now?” Afraid to ask, she choked out the question.
“Usually I fall into a deep sleep.” Chase grinned. “Hope you don’t mind. I’m a cuddler.”
They laughed together, replete. But she couldn’t shake her worry.
“No… Seriously, will I see you again?” Linley held her breath.
“I sure hope so.” He kissed her lightly. “You’ll break my heart if you tell me this has turned out to be the simple one-night stand you were expecting.”
“It’s not for you?” She didn’t have his experience.
He shook his head. The intensity of his eyes convinced her it was the truth. How she’d gotten so lucky, she’d never know.
Please, please don’t let real life ruin this.
“Okay then. Chase, there’s something I need to tell you.” She bit her lip. Pressure built in her stomach as she considered the ramifications of coming clean. But this night had meant something to her. She couldn’t ignore that. Linley refused to jeopardize their future by not being straight with him upfront. Mostly upfront.
“What’s wrong?” He leaned on his elbow, brushing the hair from her face.
“I’m sort of…rich.”
He laughed. “That’s it? Love, you’re not as loaded as me I bet.”
Linley didn’t mean to crush his pride. “Actually, I’m the founder and owner of Lane Technology.”
“I know, Linley. It’s an unusual name, and having Henry vouch for you didn’t keep it very stealthy.” He held her in place when she would have bolted. Betrayed, her stomach fell through the floor.
“You knew who I was?” She tried to block the tears of frustration welling in her eyes. It had been too good to be true. “The whole night?”
“Of course. I read the Journal every morning.” Chase kissed the silvery trail of an escaping tear. “I will say your pen and ink portrait doesn’t do you justice. Mine isn’t very accurate either. But then again, it could never capture the spirit of the woman who’s completely entranced me tonight. Plus the piece Forbes did on you was in the same issue they featured me. Maybe fate was trying to tell us something, Linley Lane.”
“What?” She sniffled and redoubled her scrutiny of his handsome face. “You’re a businessman too?”
“Kind of stings my ego that you didn’t recognize me, love.” He rubbed at his heart as if wounded. “I’m Chase Worthington.”
This time he couldn’t restrain her when she bolted upright.
“The venture capitalist?” Holy shit, he wasn’t kidding. He was rich. The filthy, stinking, wealthy kind.
“At your service.” He smiled. “Though you’ve never given me a chance to offer a partnership as you self-funded your acquisitions entirely with cash reserves. Smart. Conservative. It makes me want you again to think of your strategies in the boardroom, love.”
Linley put her face in her hands and cried a tear or two of pure relief. He would understand her. Her lifestyle. Together they might be damn near unstoppable. The odds of finding him among the crowds. Impossible.
“Captains of industry... Heads of state… If Underground is that exclusive, how is my head of security a member?” Linley squinted at Chase.
“That’s a question you’re going to have to ask Henry. He and I have been friends long enough to know he’s probably already raring to kick my ass over our liaison. At least until I confess to him how serious it’s gotten tonight, love.”
“Don’t you love me.” She propped her hands on her hips.
“Linley…I know this is crazy. And I’m not even daring to think the L word after just one night but… I think you’re someone I could. You know. In time. I’m wondering…” He closed his eyes then asked. “Will you see me again? Yes or no?”
For Linley, there was only one option. “Yes.”

4F - Ryder Loves Ties That Bind
“I requested a romp in Ties That Bind.” Linley beamed when he grinned. A shiver ran through her.
“Fuck, yes.” Ryder caught her off guard when he threw her over his shoulder and marched toward the fantasy chamber. He drew up short in front of the elaborately carved hardwood. When she peeked around his trim waist, she saw he paused with his hand on the knob.
“No second guessing here.” She answered before he could ask. “Let’s do this. Show me what’s inside. I hope there’s a bed, or a thick rug at least, because I need you to get me horizontal fast.”
“What do you have against being fucked standing up? It can be plenty enjoyable.” He grunted when she smacked his sexy ass. “Fine, feisty. I’m going.”
Ryder ducked inside, closing them in darkness together. He lowered her to the ground and spun her so she faced the interior with him at her back. When he slid the dimmer up gradually, she gasped.
The room was the stuff of erotic daydreams. Gold accents offset the forest green walls. Enormous gilded mirrors reflected her stunned expression and Ryder’s undivided focus on her reaction.
He smiled as she discovered the nuances of the space.
Silk scarves in every hue draped along one of the walls. The waterfall of colors and softness took her breath away. Linley wandered to the display. A board with infinite hooks, like an extended horizontal coat rack, ran along the full length of the room above the height of her head. Extravagant material hung from each.
A rainbow of dirty intentions shimmered beneath her fingers as she dragged them through the luxurious fabric. It rippled in the wake of the air she disturbed as she passed.
“They’re beautiful. It’s like a painting. Or a tapestry, I guess.” Entranced, she allowed one to run through her fingers.
“Is that what you’re looking for?” Ryder approached behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist. “Something soft and romantic?”
She bit her lip and turned to him. “I’m not saying that sounds like a
bad idea. I’d like that sometime. But…”
“Not tonight.” He nodded. “I didn’t think so.”
His innate understanding of her needs riled her more than the thick cock that jerked between his legs when she leaned forward to kiss his chest lightly. “Thanks.”
“Come here.” He took her hand and led her to a long, flat case she hadn’t noticed at first. The dark, lacquered surface had hid its presence as her eyes adjusted to the space, then were distracted by the gorgeous sampling of silks.
“What is it?” She trailed a finger along the ornate inlay on top. Clearly someone prized the possessions inside.
“One of my favorite sets of gear.” He might have shuddered a bit at the thought of the contents only inches below her lingering caress.
“Show me.” A nod accompanied her request. If it turned him on this much, she’d like to give it a shot. As long as it wasn’t something that freaked her out. The odds of that were slim given how well their desires had complemented each other all evening.
“You’re a good sport, wildcat.” Ryder leaned forward and kissed her deep and hard. The play of his mouth over hers rejuvenated the lingering spasms of the climax he’d gifted her with in the Downstairs common area.
“Easy when you’re giving me everything I want.” She brushed his smile with her thumb.
“If this is too much, you tell me.” Ryder didn’t move from where his hands hovered over the latch.
“I will,” she promised.
The lid didn’t make the barest squeak when he lifted it. Though it seemed solid, heavy, it glided on well-oiled hinges. Inside the case, dark-red velvet made a bed for a variety of leather accessories. An array of them were lined up from shortest—at five or six inches—to longest—around four feet or so in length—in neat, parallel lines. There appeared to be pairs of each size.
“Can I touch them?” she whispered, though she couldn’t have said why.
“Of course.” Ryder smiled. “Do you know what they are?”
