HALO’S KEEPER

“So, let me see if I have this straight.” Halo scrutinized the man sitting across from her as she organized her thoughts.

His name was Zane and she had only known him for a week yet, from the moment they first met, there had been this spark between them. The way Zane had looked at her – like he wanted to possess her – made her melt on the spot. He walked towards her, his eyes locked onto hers as though she was his prey and he was on the hunt. Halo wasn’t one to let herself be swept off her feet by a man but, Zane exuded such confidence, such domineering masculinity that she could not resist. And now she had found out why – in a coffee shop of all places.

She cleared her throat. “You want to keep me and, I’d want to be kept.” What a disaster that would be, she thought. However, she already knew she was going to say yes.

“Exactly." Zane’s eyes glowered with salacious hunger.

Just that one word caused Halo to shiver in anticipation. She could feel a growing wetness spreading between her legs. Her teeth caught her lower lip as she waited for him to continue.

“I will make you know pleasure like you have never felt before.” He slid around the booth until he was sitting beside her and rested his hand on her thigh. “All I ask is that you be mine and mine alone, that you give yourself to me wholly and completely.”

Halo tried to stay focused. She knew she had to think about this logically but Zane’s voice, his mere presence was not making it easy.

“Ah… Is it really necessary for me to sign a contract?” she asked.

“The contract is for both of us. It will determine what can and cannot be done. You will have more control than you think,” he reassured her. “You will determine your limits, the constraints in which I must work. I will have to govern my actions around your wants and needs, although, I think I have a reasonable idea of what those needs are.” His hand moved higher up her thigh, slipping under the hem of her short, black skirt. Halo gasped and her cheeks flushed crimson. Zane chuckled. “You’re adorable,” he breathed into her ear. “So innocent, so pure.” His fingers brushed against her hot mound and she jumped.

Her heart hammered in her chest and her eyes darted around, trying to see if anyone was watching. Part of her wanted to tell him to stop. It was just too embarrassing. If only it didn’t feel so good. She gasped audibly as he reached a finger into her panties and ran it up her soaking slit. Then, quick as a flash, he ceased his attentions, withdrew his hand and sucked her wetness off his finger.

Her face was on fire, except now, she wasn’t sure anymore if it was from embarrassment or lust. She drew a shaky breath, trying to calm her agitated nerves. Zane watched her with that dark, sultry gaze of his.

“Do you accept?” he asked silkily.

Swallowing around the lump in her throat, she whispered the words that would seal her fate. “I accept.”

Zane smirked at her. “Welcome to my world.”

Later that night, Halo knelt before Zane as he placed a beautiful collar around her neck. A shiny, silver chain attached the collar to his wrist. He stood before her, a devilish prince holding her in his power.

“Come,” he ordered, pulling her to her feet.

Halo obeyed, staring at him wide-eyed. Just what had she gotten herself into?
