Knot Intended (2 page)

Joseph knew it. Their first Halloween together he’d wanted matching costumes, and she had flat out refused to even consider it. And now he was suggesting they do something that would make her feel like a complete idiot while they tried to make their sex life better.

What the hell is he thinking?

She couldn’t prevent the sarcasm that thickened her tone. “Yeah, okay. What are we going to do? Go out and buy cute little costumes? Sorry, Joseph, not interested.”

He gave her a tolerant smile, which did nothing to lessen her irritation. She stared back at him until he looked down at his hands. “I had a feeling you might react that way,” he said. “Some couples like role-playing. We don’t have to wear costumes. Role-playing isn’t about dressing up. It’s about fulfilling fantasies. Think about it, Nolie. Don’t you ever imagine anything sexy? Hot little cheerleader with the football coach or something?”

“Being a teenager again? Hardly.” The idea turned her stomach, and she couldn’t bring herself to ask whether Joseph had a thing for cheerleaders. “I pretty much prefer reality. The only other thing I ever think about—”

She snapped her mouth shut. She’d never discussed her fantasies with Joseph before. At first, reality had been hotter than anything Nolie could have imagined. Now, they barely had time to talk about anything, and with the decrease in their time together, their sex life had cooled. Now, more often than not, it was perfunctory. Even Joseph’s changing of positions during sex followed the same sequence.

And when she masturbated, her favorite daydream was dark and disturbing. Not something she had ever contemplated sharing with her quiet, vanilla husband. But he wanted to spice up their sex life, and this would definitely accomplish that, if she dared to tell him about it.

Some fantasies were better off never becoming reality, and this might turn out to be one of them. But the only way to find out was to try.

Gathering her courage, she nodded and released a sigh. “Okay. Sometimes when I play with myself, I imagine I’ve been, um, kidnapped. Sort of.”

She braced herself for Joseph’s response. He paused, and Nolie’s heart sank. But then Joseph smiled, looking intrigued, and took her hand again. “Really? Tell me more.”

Nolie paused and sorted through her thoughts. Now that she’d brought up the idea, the words poured out. “Kidnapped by a strong, sexy man who wants to use me for his own pleasure. Tied up. Fucked within an inch of my life.”

Heat rose in her, part blush and part arousal. Images she’d created for her masturbation sessions filled her mind. Lying on a white sheet, arms bound over her head, legs spread with her ankles tied to the bedposts. A man, with dark hair and eyes and a thick, hard cock, poised between her legs, his hands stroking her skin, tweaking her nipples and causing jolts that were simultaneously painful and exquisite. Her pussy tingled as she mulled over the thoughts.

She couldn’t completely enjoy the daydreams and arousal, though. She held her breath, waiting for Joseph to say something. Anything. She’d taken one hell of a risk confessing her darkest thoughts to him, and she needed to know it was all right.

He chuckled softly. “I’m one hell of a lucky bastard.”

Surprised, Nolie looked up at him. “Why?”

“You trusted me enough to tell me that, and it is one fucking hot fantasy.” He gave her a look filled with lust and need. “Damn, I never realized you had such a wild side. Kidnapped, huh? I think we might be able to arrange that.”

For a moment, Nolie couldn’t speak. Excitement and fire warred with embarrassment and fear inside her. She had never dreamed her fantasy might come true, and she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted it to. “Are you serious?”

“Sure.” He traced her palm with a fingertip, and the light touch added to her desire, despite her concerns. “Why not? If it turns you on, I’m all for it. Add a little spice to our lives, right?”

Spice. Right.
Nolie couldn’t even begin to guess what the hell Joseph was planning. Surely he wouldn’t consider having someone else kidnap her. They’d never even broached the subject of bringing other people into their sex life. They had always had a tacit understanding that they would remain monogamous.

Even if they agreed to let someone else play along, Nolie wouldn’t be comfortable. She only wanted Joseph. They were supposed to be spicing up their own sex life, not anyone else’s. “I don’t know if I’d be okay with it.”

“You wouldn’t be okay with me kidnapping you?” He sounded disappointed.

“Ah.” She relaxed. Now he was making more sense. “I’d recognize you, wouldn’t I? That would defeat the purpose.”

He shook his head. “Not at all. That’s why they call it role-
playing
, honey. I play the part of the nasty, mean old kidnapper, and you play the part of the poor, defenseless woman who’s scared and turned on at the same time. It’s a game. Hell, did you really think I would let any other man touch you?”

Of course not.
Joseph had never minded when other men looked at Nolie, but on the occasions when someone else had hit on her, Joseph had stepped up immediately to send the other man on his way. Nolie had always been turned on by the way her mellow husband laid claim to her at those times.

She should have known better than to think he would want to bring someone else into their sex life when they’d just finished talking about the need to focus more on each other. But Nolie hadn’t expected anything else Joseph had said that morning, and she couldn’t simply assume anything about what he would or wouldn’t do. She couldn’t even begin to guess how far he would go.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking at all,” she blurted.

Joseph laughed. “Yeah. I did kind of throw this at you out of the blue. I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I just had to work up the guts to talk to you about the idea. I was afraid you’d think I was crazy. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything you don’t agree to.” He dropped his voice to a growl. “And I would never ask you to agree to another man. You’re mine.”

The last words sent a thrill through Nolie. This was the Joseph who had turned her on so much at clubs and bars in their dating days, before they’d stopped making time to go out together. He wasn’t being possessive. He was simply making sure she remembered that they belonged together.

She relaxed. Joseph would ask before he did anything. Maybe she couldn’t predict what he would come up with next, but at least she could be sure that he would fill her in rather than just acting on his plans.

“You’re mine too, so don’t get any ideas about bringing in another woman,” she said.

“Never that. You’re the only woman I want.” Joseph gave her a smug look, the one that had always simultaneously irked her and turned her on.

This time, it had more of the latter effect. Her skin tingled as if Joseph was already touching her, and Nolie took a deep breath. If he kept up his intense flirtation, she would drag him into the bedroom, shove him on the bed, and slide onto his cock for a good hard fuck.

It would make them late for work, but it would be worth it.

The gleam in Joseph’s eyes told Nolie he knew exactly what he was doing to her. And the bastard was proud of himself.

He tilted his head. “You haven’t answered me yet. Role-playing. Are you up for it?”

Nolie hesitated. The idea excited her, especially knowing her husband would be the man fulfilling her fantasy. Maybe it would make sex more interesting. Trying something new could be fun. And she was definitely curious about whether mild, mellow Joseph would be able to act the part of a “nasty mean kidnapper,” or however he’d phrased it.

She met Joseph’s gaze with a challenge in her own. “Yeah. I’m up for it. When and where?”

He squeezed her hand and stood. “Not telling. I’ll make the plans, but I won’t let you in on them. You won’t have any idea when your ‘kidnapper’ will strike. So be warned and be ready. Oh, and one more thing…”

Nolie rolled her eyes, exaggerating her irritation to cover the desire that wouldn’t let up. After Joseph left for work, she might have to take matters into her own hands. “What?”

“When we do this, you have to promise no matter what I do or say in the game, you’ll remember I love you and I’m doing it to fulfill your fantasy,” he said quietly. “The last thing I would ever do is hurt you, but kidnappers have to be cruel, right? I might say or do things I wouldn’t usually, but they’ll be part of the act. I won’t mean them, and I need you to remember that. I want this to be fun, and it won’t be if you’re scared or I hurt your feelings. Promise?”

Nolie nodded. In her fantasy, as the man held her down and fucked her, he called her names.
Slut
.
Whore
. Even
cunt
, a word Nolie hated in real life.

In her imagination, the names only added fuel to her fire.

Hearing Joseph say those things to her and having him hold her down or even slap or spank her might bother her. He was the kindest man she’d ever met, and behaving that way wouldn’t be like him at all. On the other hand, knowing his reasons might make his harshness okay.

If the reality with Joseph was anywhere near as hot as her fantasy, she would come hard enough to scream. Merely thinking about it made her moan softly and shudder through another rush of heat and desire. Her pussy ached to be touched, but she forced herself to remain in her seat. Joseph had to go to work. He didn’t have time to fuck her.

And that was the entire problem with their sex life. They didn’t have time.

Joseph walked around the table to stand beside Nolie, so close she felt his body heat. The bulge in his jeans was obvious, and Nolie’s mouth watered.

“You’re so turned on you can’t even get out of your chair,” Joseph said in a hoarse tone.

“Yeah.” Nolie ran her hand up his inner thigh, and he hissed in a breath. “And you’re so hard you’re going to walk funny.”

“No, I’m not, because you’re going to suck my cock right now.” Joseph undid his jeans and shoved them and his boxers down to his thighs. “And then I’m going to bend you over this table and fuck you silly.”

He spoke so firmly Nolie couldn’t deny the command or her own craving to follow it. She barely managed to stammer, “What about work?”

“Fuck work,” Joseph growled. “If I’m late, they can deal with it. It’s still early enough that you’ll be on time.” He stepped closer and slid his hand around the back of her head. “So suck my dick, babe. Now.”

Chapter Two

Nolie shivered with desire so strong she couldn’t deny it. Joseph had never been a forceful lover, and the way he was taking charge now surprised her.

It was hot as hell. Her lower body tightened, and her pussy ached for some kind of touch. She had no doubt she would get exactly what she needed from Joseph. He wanted her. She could see it in the way he stared at her, hungry and intense.

She couldn’t remember the last time she’d wanted Joseph so much, but she would have to wait her turn. First, she had to follow his orders. Her mouth watered. She wasn’t submissive generally, but right now she would have done anything Joseph commanded. Just that thought was almost enough to make her come.

He pulled on the back of her head, bending her toward his hard cock. “Are you going to do what I say?”

“Is this part of the game?” she asked, heart racing as she allowed him to move her. She wanted him to be aggressive for a change. Having Joseph in control was the biggest turn-on she’d had in their marriage, and she couldn’t wait to see what he did next.

“Not yet.” He chuckled. “That would be too easy. You know it’s me. Consider this practice for all the dirty, slutty things you’ll do to me when we do play. For now, if you don’t make me come, I’ll have to jerk off in the truck on the way to work, which might be dangerous. You wouldn’t want me to wreck while I’m playing with myself, would you?”

“No. I certainly wouldn’t.” She looked up at him and licked her lips. His cock was only inches away from her mouth. She wanted to touch her tongue to it, but held back. If this was what Joseph wanted, let him tell her.

The desire to serve him somehow caught her off guard, but she craved it. Part of her fantasy, perhaps. Being kidnapped would mean doing whatever her captor ordered, after all, so it made sense that being commanded by Joseph would push the right buttons.

“Don’t just sit there.” His hand still on the back of her head, Joseph pulled her almost imperceptibly closer to his cock. “I want you to suck me. So follow through. You want to do what I tell you, don’t you?”

“Yes.” Nolie exhaled the word on a long breath. Her pussy pulsed to the beat of her heart as intense need raced through her body. All the times she’d imagined her capture and being taken forcibly by her captor, she had never considered how much of a rush it would be in reality.

She had never dreamed it would
become
reality.

She pulled Joseph to her with her hands on his thighs and ran her tongue over the head of his cock.

He stumbled and braced himself on the edge of the table. “That’s so good,” he murmured. “Suck me. Don’t make me come in your mouth, because I want to fuck the hell out of you before I leave. But let me feel your mouth on me.”

The growl in his voice on the last sentence sent another rush of heat and need through Nolie, and she stroked his cock gently. He sighed. “Harder, babe. You aren’t going to break me. You’re just going to make me want you so much I can’t stand it.”

Encouraged, Nolie took the head of his cock in her mouth. She swirled her tongue around it, tasting the slight tang of precum. He was more turned on than she’d realized, and the discovery amped up her own arousal.

Nolie couldn’t remember the last time she’d spent more than seconds with Joseph’s dick in her mouth. It was a shame. She’d always loved giving oral, hearing her partner’s moans and tasting the results of her efforts.

She sucked Joseph’s cockhead and massaged his balls carefully. He moaned and murmured something Nolie couldn’t quite make out. His fingers tightened in her hair, holding her in place. If she hadn’t been so aroused, it might have hurt. As it was, having him claim her, demanding from her exactly what she wanted to give, only turned her on even more.
