Chapter 9: The Armchair

I put him in the big leather armchair in front of the stove and told him to keep his hands on the arms.

"Both of them," I said. "Flat. Don't lift them."

"Page, I just got you inside," he said.

"And now I want you out here."

He sat down.

The chair was deep and old and creaked under his weight, and the firelight made a gold line down the side of his face.

He laid his hands on the worn leather arms.

His knuckles were already white.

I stood in front of him, ten feet away, in my work apron and jeans.

I could still smell sugar on my own skin.

"Terms," I said.

"Okay," he said.

"The first set were yours. They're dead. Here's mine."

"Page."

"Rule one." I untied the apron and let it fall. "You don't get to count down to the road, or the pass, or April."

His mouth tightened.

"Rule two." I pulled my sweater off over my head. "You're mine. Not until Monday. Not until April. Mine."

"Yes," he said hoarsely.

"Say the whole thing," I said.

"I'm yours."

"Say it again," I said.

"I'm yours, Page."

"Good," I said.

I undid my jeans.

I took my time pushing them down my hips and kicked them away.

I stood in my underwear and bra with the stove at my back.

His eyes moved over me slowly.

He did not touch the chair arms.

"Take off your shirt," I said.

He lifted his hands to do it, and I said, "Stop."

He stopped.

"Hands on the chair. I'll do it."

I walked over and unbuttoned his flannel shirt, one button at a time, and pushed it off his shoulders.

I kissed his throat.

I kissed the hollow at the base of it and the broad muscle of his chest.

I took his nipple between my teeth and bit lightly.

He swore.

"I'm going to mark you," I said. "I want everyone who sees you to know."

"Who's going to see?"

"Me. That's enough."

His breath shook.

"Jeans," I said, and undid them.

He lifted his hips so I could pull them off with his boxers.

He sat naked in the armchair in front of the fire, hard and flushed, and I looked at him for a long moment.

"You're so beautiful," I said.

He made a soft, helpless noise.

I knelt between his knees.

I put my mouth on him and took him in as far as I could.
