Chapter 89: Bedroom Is That Way

** Eli **

Eli was still grinning to himself when they left the shop and got back into his car.

This girl was ballsy today, surprising him not only once — with that bold declaration of putting the blindfold into good use — but twice, by adding a pair of handcuffs to their purchase when he asked if she wanted to get anything for him in return. So here they were, hopping into the car with a nondescript red shopping bag containing a blindfold, handcuffs, and of course, the cupless and crotchless lingerie that he promised.

Even more surprisingly, she looked genuinely content with their trophies. From his peripheral vision, Eli saw her opening the bag again as soon as she took her seat, peeking inside with a curious fascination.

"Color me impressed, Harper." He couldn’t resist an amused smile. "Never figured what you wanted to pick for me would be handcuffs. Quite some inner bossiness that you kept hidden all this time."

She snapped the bag closed and turned to him with a grin. "Oh, there are so many sides of me that you haven’t seen yet," she teased.

Very true, given everything that went down today. And he couldn’t wait to see them one by one.

"I suppose there’s only one way for me to find out, so let’s get to it." Eli started the engine. "Your place or mine?"

Harper did that subconscious thing with her lips again, the tiny bite that made his body respond in all kinds of indecent ways. "Well, I don’t have a ... four poster bed or whatever it is that people use to tie things to ..." She glanced at him under those long, fluttering lashes. "Do you?"

"... What, are you telling me that you bought those cuffs without a plan of how to use them?" He raised an eyebrow and pretended to look shocked until Harper bit her lips again sheepishly. It was so worth it. He relented only after that and added, "Fortunately for you, I have a carved headboard with bars. Virgin piece of furniture that has never seen the likes of bound wrists before — you’re in luck to witness its first."

She blinked at that, and he could see the question slowly settling into her eyes: Is it because it’s a new bed you bought after moving back here? Or does that "first" apply to all of your sleeping surfaces?

His lips curved upward at the realization of how easy it was for him to read her these days. He didn’t push her to ask the question out loud ... Though he knew that if she had, she’d be thrilled to hear that she was about to share one of his firsts too.

Saving that revelation for later, he let his smile widen and pulled onto the road.

It was only Harper’s second time at his apartment, but she was already looking so much more comfortable with it compared to her first visit. Kicking off her shoes casually at the door like it was her own home, she padded straight to the living room and set the shopping bag down at the coffee table.

"So ... Now that we’re in the privacy of our own homes ..." She threw his own words back at him with a somewhat lopsided smile that reminded him too much of himself.

Eli grinned, loving this side of her. "Then what are you still standing there for?" He nodded to her left. "Bedroom is that way."

It took only a split second before she grabbed the bag and practically ran toward the room.

Eli followed her with a laugh. There were a dozen teases about her eagerness balanced on the tip of his tongue. Though ... when he crossed the doorway to his sleeping space, he paused, all teases gone from his head as his eyes locked on the sight of her yanking her t-shirt halfway off of her shoulders.

All the light in the room seemed to cease to exist, leaving only the soft glow that reflected off of her skin. She always looked so perfect, so flawlessly beautiful. His eyes drank in the auburn curls stumbling down her back, the graceful neckline and delicate collarbones revealing themselves under the shirt, the swell of her breasts that was hugged within a—

Holy. Shit. She was wearing a sheer lace bra, the pale blue fabric so thin that it looked like a mere trick of the light on her skin. It blocked nothing from his view ... including the soft pink outline of her nipples.

A small thud signaled her t-shirt falling to the floor, reminding Eli that he had been staring mindlessly. His eyes snapped back up to her face, and he found her grinning again. "You did say last time that you wanted me to skip the bra," she commented, clearly aware where his head had been. "Well, that turned out to be a little harder to pull off than I imagined ... but I thought I could at least take a tiny step closer to the eventual goal."

Hell yes. "You’ll get absolutely no complaints from me." Eli didn’t hide the admiration in his gaze, letting its intensity slide ever so slowly from her eyes back to her breasts, then to her hips.

She got the hint. Bending over, she slid her shorts down her legs.

A matching sheer lace panty. Of course.

The slow shimmering arousal that had kept Eli at half-mast the entire time at the sex shop roared to full life, and he immediately went the rest of the way. How did the sight of her never get old? He had seen this girl with or without clothes too many times already, but somehow, the effect she had on him never faded. If anything, it only became stronger and stronger every time, reducing his mind to a haze and his body to crackling flames whenever she was around.

He must’ve somehow shown the thought, because that wicked smile on Harper’s face widened. "So ... What are you still standing there for?" She threw his own words back at him once again as she plucked the blindfold out of the shopping bag. Settling into the center of the bed, she slipped the mask over her eyes.

... She really shouldn’t be saying things like that. Not when it was already taking all his control to stop himself from jumping on her right there and crushing her with kisses and other things. Not when all he wanted to do was to take those handcuffs out and cuff her to his bed so that she could never, ever get out of it.

Sweet heavens, she was in trouble tonight. He was in trouble tonight.
