Excerpt (250 words):

Olivia woke to the sensation of warm weight pinning her down and a hollow wetness between her legs. Her first thought was that he must have untied her harness, removed her headset and those wicked dildos from her at last. Her second was that he had returned.

It took another few moments before she understood what that comfortable pressure against her was.

Sabinus Terchan. The man she belonged to. Sprawled on top of her naked body, his breathing deep and even, one arm draped over her breasts, his skin hot against her own. He was still half-dressed – from the texture rubbing against her thighs he evidently hadn’t bothered removing his pants, and his other arm was still tangled in its shirtsleeve.

Her legs were spread, she realized then. He’d cuffed her ankles to the posts, no doubt at the same time he’d removed the dildos.

But both her hands were free, despite being trapped under his weight.

Slowly, carefully, she nudged them out. Wrapped her arms about his shoulders.

All the tension he usually carried there seemed to have seeped away. His face was turned to the side, but she could picture it anyway: not younger, exactly, nor even unguarded – but with that secret look of languid content.

A quiet gladness spread through her. The lengthy VRS session he’d subjected her to during his absence had left her aching and exhausted, but looking at his sleeping form now soothed her.

He was safe. He was here.

She happily let her fingers run up and down his back, indulging in that simple, precious privilege until she slipped back into a light doze.
