Rule Four of the Lease Said No Overnight Guests novel · Chapter 21 of 24

Chapter 21: Denied

At midnight, Lena set the kitchen timer on the nightstand and turned it to twenty.

"Rule Eight," she said. "You remember."

"The bath timer."

"Every time it rings, you get one more edge. Not one orgasm. One edge."

My stomach dropped.

I was naked on her bed with my wrists tied over my head to the carved slats.

The silk was Hannah's, blue with white birds.

She had done the knot herself, slow and neat.

My ankles were free.

She had said she wanted me able to kick.

Lena stood at the foot of the bed in her undershirt and nothing else.

The lamplight lay along her long bare legs.

"Until the sun's up," she said. "Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Say it."

"I don't come until you say. Not until morning."

"Good girl."

I shivered.

She started the timer, and it ticked.

She climbed onto the bed and knelt between my thighs and looked at me for a long time without touching.

I could feel myself getting wetter under her eyes.

"Lena."

"Not yet."

She laid her palm flat on my stomach.

Then she began.

She used her mouth first.

She kissed my breasts, and licked them, and sucked each nipple until I arched.

She kissed down my belly and slid one finger through my wet, and I made a noise.

"Oh, you're ready."

"I've been ready since the stairs."

"I know."

She settled on her stomach between my legs and put her mouth on me.

It was slow, and it was thorough.

She licked me in long even strokes and sucked my clit between her lips.

Two fingers slid inside and curled.

I was so near already.

I felt the tightness gather, and my toes curled.

"Lena. Lena, I'm..."

She lifted her mouth and removed her fingers.

"No."

I wailed.

She wiped her chin with her thumb and watched me writhe.

"That's one edge," she said.

"That wasn't twenty minutes."

"The first one's free."

The timer ticked on.

I lay panting, with the silk biting my wrists and my thighs shaking.

She waited, and then she began again, softer.

She trailed a finger up my inner thigh, over my hip, around my belly button, never where I needed it.

She talked to me in her steady dry voice.

She told me what a good girl I was, and how beautiful I looked tied there.

She told me she had thought of this all week.

She said she had thought of it since the second night.

She said she had thought of it when I opened my door in a sleep shirt and said, "Count me again."

"You wanted this then?"

"I wanted this from the flashlight."

She slid her fingers down and into me again, and my hips jerked.

She fucked me with them slowly, with her thumb off my clit, so that the pressure built and built without any release.

"Please," I said.

"Please what?"

"Please let me."
