The Forbidden Fruit

DARIO'S POV

Her body trembled beneath my hands as I adjusted the mask, her breaths shallow and quick. The dim light of the room cast shadows across her exposed skin, and for a moment, I just stood there, taking her in. She was a masterpiece of vulnerability and defiance, fear and curiosity colliding in her wide eyes.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Yes," she replied, her voice quivering.

"Good," I said and walked away.

"What are you doing?" She called after me.

"Just wait," I said.

I walked back into the room admiring the way her body curled up in bed.

"I'm not going to tie you up, but I will make sure you are tied down."

I removed the belt from my jeans and wrapped it around her wrists, securing it to the bedpost. I did the same with her ankles, making sure she was comfortable and not in pain.

"Do you trust me?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Good."
