AN: DO NOT ACTUALLY LEAVE YOUR PARTNERS TIED UP ALONE LIKE THIS. Aria T'Loak has fancy biotics and could get out of her restraints in an emergency (like a fire or a squad of batarian assassins), but sadly, humans cannot. :(

Chapter Three:

Aria knew something was wrong as soon as she opened her eyes. Her blurry gaze was fixed on the ceiling instead of the wall, and her muscles felt unusually stiff. Stranger still, her favorite cock was nestled between her legs instead of resting in the bedside drawer. She sighed and reached down to take it out, only to discover that she couldn't move her arms. Her tugging shook the bed behind her. "Oh, shit."

She blinked away the rest of her grogginess and took stock of her situation. Someone had bound her wrists to the headboard, and her legs were attached to the bedposts. It wasn't uncommon for her to fall asleep with the toy in place, especially after a round of marathon sex with Tevos, but she couldn't remember putting it in before she crawled into bed. "Shit," she hissed again, tugging at the cuffs in annoyance. Escape was possible, especially if she used her biotics, but it would do some damage to the bedframe. Tevos would kill her..

Tevos. Of course she did this. The sneaky little bitch probably planned it in advance, too. That's why she talked me into drinking that fifth shot of ryncol. Aria rarely overindulged to the point of blacking out, but she had been sulkier than usual when Tevos left for the evening. Alcohol had seemed like a good distraction at the time. I bet she's still at that fucking party now, boozing it up and kissing ass while I'm stuck here. Even though she despised pointless formal events, it hurt that Tevos hadn't asked if she wanted to come. Their relationship was somewhat legitimate in the eyes of the galaxy these days, and though her presence would have raised several eyebrows, they wouldn't have turned her away at the door.

She fell back onto the pillow, heaving a sigh as she debated whether to free herself. Something hard poked the back of her head, and she shifted on the mattress, trying to get a better look. If she craned her neck and squinted, she could just make out the edge of a datapad beside her cheek. It took a little effort, but she managed to push it further away and hit the play button with her chin. "Good morning." Aria recognized Tevos's cheerful voice immediately and rolled her eyes. "I hope you got plenty of rest after your little bender, because I'll be requiring your services once I get home. I know you can get out of those cuffs if you want to, but I wouldn't recommend it. I think you'll like what I have planned."

She's been spending way too much time with T'Soni, Aria thought sourly, but there was a spattering of pride mixed in with her annoyance. It took a lot to surprise her, and Tevos's trick had succeeded. She tugged at the restraints, wondering how Tevos had managed to get them on without waking her. The cuffs had zero give, only clacking against the bedframe.

As she waited, Aria weighed the pros and cons of breaking free. It might be fun to escape and get the jump on Tevos, but she knew her bondmate would be angry if she destroyed the bed. She divided the chance she had of getting laid if she stayed put with how many nights she would spend on the couch for ruining Tevos's fun. The outcome of escaping wasn't too favorable. Her increasing arousal and discomfort became more problematic as she tried to find a relaxed position. When her elbow cramped, her cock strained. Her hip ached, and the shaft pulsed. When her nose started to itch, it was about all she could take. She tugged at the cuffs, fingers blazing with light, walking the edge of freedom.

But as badly as she wanted to escape, she couldn't ignore her nagging curiosity. What does Tevos have planned? A lot of preparation had gone into this scene already. It had to be worth waiting for. Her head sank back against the pillow and she slid her eyes shut. She could have left a vid on for me, at least. This waiting is torture.

Before she could break free, Aria heard the unmistakable hiss of the front door opening. She lifted her head, straining as she listened for the click of Tevos's heels. The footsteps were just a little faster than usual, and Aria smirked when they entered the hallway. Tevos was eager to reach the bedroom - and her. She decided to make the best of her situation, resting her head back against the pillow and spreading her legs wider than the cuffs required. It wasn't easy affecting an air of nonchalance while tied up, but she did her best, plastering a look of boredom on her face just as the door opened. "Well, it's about time," she drawled, lifting her eyes to gaze at Tevos from beneath her lashes. "I was starting to get impatient."

Tevos's mouth curled into a smile, showing off the stripe that cut through her bottom lip. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Aria bristled at the teasing edge of insincerity in her voice. "My speech ran longer than expected. Shepard decided to disappear right before it was her turn on stage, and I had to stall for time."

"Seriously, Tevos?" Aria snorted, rolling her eyes in disbelief. "That's the story you want to go with?"

"Believe whatever you want." Tevos shut the door and began undressing, peeling off the first of her long white gloves. "But if I truly wanted to test your patience, I would have stayed in."

Aria swallowed when the soft fabric fell across her bound ankle. "What do you have planned for me?" she asked, watching as Tevos started on the second glove. "This isn't your usual style."

"I thought my message made it clear." Tevos let her second glove flutter to the floor and reached behind her neck to unhook the back of her dress. She peeled the zipper down, revealing the smooth, bare flesh of her shoulders, and Aria felt her cock twitch. Each new inch of skin made the shaft swell. Soon, it was jutting out from between her spread thighs, straining toward the ceiling. "Besides, leaving you naked and tied up on my bed with your cock in isn't exactly subtle."

"You just said you required my services," Aria said. Her stomach twisted as the front of Tevos's dress slipped down to her hips, revealing the soft curves of her breasts and the hard points of her nipples. "You didn't mention which services I had to provide."

Tevos laughed as she shoved her dress the rest of the way past her hips. Aria bit her lip to stifle a groan. There was nothing else underneath except for beautiful blue skin. Her eyes trailed up along Tevos's legs until she reached the place where they joined. If she craned her neck, she could just see the purple ridge of Tevos's clit peeking out from between the petaled lips of her azure.

She was so distracted that she almost missed Tevos's response. "I thought that was obvious. I left you the way I did for a reason." Tevos's eyes settled on the length of her cock, and Aria pulsed under the heat of her gaze.

"So? Get to it. I don't have all night."

"Where else do you need to be? You don't have any other pressing engagements, do you?" Tevos slid her hands up along her stomach, cupping both of her breasts to put them on even more prominent display.

Aria clenched her teeth. "Don't play games you can't win," she growled. "Hurry up, or I'll break free and walk out of here before you get what you want from me."

"Really?" Tevos's lips pulled into a proud smirk as she ran her thumbs in teasing circles. "You're going to walk out of here like that? So pent up you're already dripping?"

Aria scowled with resentment as she realized that Tevos was right. Her inner muscles couldn't help clasping the shorter end of the toy, and a few ribbons of wetness ran out around the base. Worse still, several drops had gathered on the aching head of her cock. Somehow, she managed to remain defiant as Tevos approached the bed. "Don't push your luck, or you'll end up in these cuffs instead of me. And I'm not the tender heart you are."

She expected a snappy response, but it never came. Instead, soft fingers folded around the straining shaft between her thighs. The touch was light, practiced and precise, meant to tease instead of offer relief. She remained transfixed as Tevos's thumb swept over her slick head, dipping into the ready pool of arousal at the tip. "What was that about leaving?" Tevos asked, increasing the pressure of her palm.

Aria let out a low, heavy breath. Her hips strained, aching for more contact, and her eyes slid shut. She still wasn't sure what Tevos was planning, but decided that the hand running up and down her shaft was a nice start. She relaxed into the pillow, content to lay back and enjoy the attention. That was before she felt the first hints of warm breath through the sensors. She cracked her eyes open again. Tevos was propped up on her elbows, hovering inches away, biting against her tattooed bottom lip. The sight alone was enough to make Aria's muscles clench. Pressure pulsed inside her, pounding through her length as more of her arousal spilled from the tip.

Tevos wasted no time painting her lips with the offering, covering her with a hot kiss. The tension inside Aria grew almost painful, and her desire went from manageable to unbearable in one single moment. Her hips strained, searching for more contact, but Tevos pulled back, denying her anything further. "Come on, Thea," she panted, confident even though she was at a clear disadvantage.

"That was the idea," Tevos said playfully.

Aria watched as Tevos's lips pressed back against the heated flare of her cock, wincing in pleasure as her wicked tongue trailed just behind. Her hips gave another weak push upwards, trying to force the issue, but it didn't help. Tevos's mouth remained just out of reach. Aria sighed in frustration. She wouldn't give Tevos the satisfaction of begging, and she couldn't simply ask…

Before she could come up with a plan, heat finally folded around her. The wressure were immediate and intense, causing her to clamp down on the end of the toy inside of her. She swallowed, trying to maintain what remained of her dignity. "It's about time. I was starting to get impatient." The warmth sliding along her shaft receded, and Aria gritted her teeth to stifle a groan. Cool air curled around the length of her cock, and she looked down in frustrated disbelief. Her bondmate's lips were still hovering a breath away, and as she watched, they curled into a satisfied smirk.

Aria's stomach clenched. Her face burned. "What the hell are you doing?" she snapped, but the anger she had meant to voice came out as a trembling plea instead. She grunted in frustration and tried again, clutching at the sheets since she couldn't reach down and grab the back of Tevos's crest. Power crackled in her hands, gathering energy as it coursed through her muscles and rose to the surface of her skin. "All right, I've let you have your fun. Stop being a cocktease, or this bed is getting warped to pieces."

"Don't you dare. I spent all night surrounded by boring people talking about boring things when all I wanted to do was this." She paused to place another wet, teasing kiss against her head, and Aria groaned as another pearl of clear fluid pulsed to meet her lips. She could only watch in agony as Tevos pulled even further back, still stroking the base of her cock with a slow, steady hand. "This is my reward, not yours. And since you're tied up, you can't stop me from taking my time with it."

Aria began to protest that she could - it would be a simple thing to break free of the cuffs - but her voice caught in her throat, becoming a sharp cry as Tevos took her in again. This time, the warmth of Tevos's mouth went all the way down, pushing past the flared head and stopping just above her fist. Aria forgot all about trying to escape,. She dug her heels into the mattress and bucked her hips up even though there wasn't anywhere left to go. "Fuck!"

No response came from between her legs. The lips sealed around her began sliding back up, and the fist around her shaft curled a little tighter. Tevos's hand and mouth finally found a rhythm, but it was torturously slow. Aria turned her head away and screwed her eyes shut, afraid that if she kept watching, the last threads of her sanity would snap. But even with her eyes closed, she could still feel everything. The heat. The pressure. The throbbing fullness that swelled along her length with each slip of Tevos's tongue, each tug of her lips.

Slowly, she became aware of another sensation, the gentle brush of Tevos's consciousness against hers. She resisted at first, still sulking at the slow pace, but her willpower only lasted a few seconds. Even though she knew it was a bad idea, her body craved the meld. Torn between eagerness and reluctance, she allowed Tevos to sink into her mind. I'm not doing this to torment you, Tevos thought, her voice teasing even through the joining.

Liar.

I told you. This... Aria gasped as Tevos's hand ran along her shaft, making it swell even further. Is my reward. And I worked for it. I tied you up. I made you hard. When you come? It's because I let you. And this pleasure you feel? It's mine, along with everything else. Tevos continued to stroke, slowing her movements down to the point of agony. You can stake your claim some other night. Right now, you belong to me.

Aria took slow, ragged sips of air, hands twisting in her restraints. A thin sheen of sweat broke out across her skin, but she hardly noticed. She was too overwhelmed with her own helplessness. She wanted to protest, to make demands, but she knew anything she said would only prove how powerless she was. She had started out so certain, so sure in her ability to hold off release, but watching Tevos claim what she wanted with such confidence made her question herself.

Against her better judgment, she looked down. Deep black pools stared back up at her, and she started tipping forward. The knot of tension in the base of her cock pulled tighter, pushing her right to the edge of release. "Slow... slow down..." she hissed through clenched teeth, trying to warn her bondmate of what was already painfully clear through the meld. Her eyes squeezed shut and her fingers contorted as they searched for something to grab on to.

You're assuming I don't want to make you lose control. But I do. I want to feel you fall apart.

And fall apart she did. The first wave of her release made her entire body stiffen. Her azure clenched, her clit pulsed, and the pressure along her shaft shot from the tip of her cock. She fought against her restraints, trying to bury herself as deep as possible, but she didn't have enough range of motion. The first rush of fluid spilled into Tevos's mouth, but her frantic movements caused her to slip out of place. The next several pulses covered her lover's waiting lips instead.

She groped through the flood of sensations pouring into her through the meld, searching for dry land, but found none. Tevos's mind was still tangled up in hers, but it didn't offer comfort. All the union gave was a slow, steady burn. She gritted her teeth, and a third pulse of wetness seeped from her tip, dripping down onto Tevos's hand. Oh, Aria, you have more for me than that. Tevos's voice slithered through her head, teasing every part of her it touched. Firm fingers wrapped around the base of her twitching shaft, stroking in a slow, steady rhythm. Give me the rest. I know you're not finished.

Aria couldn't even form a response in her own head. Every fiber of her being was focused on the pressure of Tevos's fist. Her release hadn't brought her any relief. She was still full, still straining, still shivering with each push and pull of Tevos's hand. Her swollen head ached for the warmth of her bondmate's mouth again, but even without it, she couldn't hold back. A fresh burst of fluid splashed free, and she cried out in ecstasy as Tevos pumped her from base to tip, forcing out every single drop she had to give.

Finally, she collapsed back onto the bed, breathless and spent. Her clit jerked against the sensation transmitting plate, and her inner muscles continued rippling, but the shaft was completely empty. She withdrew from the meld and glanced up with a grin on her face, prepared to offer Tevos a smart comeback, but she did a double-take as she gazed down past her stomach. Her abdomen was covered in slick, glistening trails of her own release, but even more clung to Tevos's perfect breasts. She gasped, completely forgetting what she was about to say, and her cock stirred to life again in Tevos's loose fingers. Only one word managed to make it past her lips. "Fuck."

Tevos smiled. "I was getting to that," she laughed, removing her hand and sitting back on her heels. "If you think you can be good for just a little while longer, I'll make sure you don't regret it."

Aria groaned as a few of the droplets slid down over the flat plane of Tevos's stomach. Her eyes followed them down, but they kept going even where the wet lines stopped, traveling over the slight curve to Tevos's abdomen and settling between her legs. The outer lips of her azure were swollen, pouting open to reveal the slick, velvety blue folds between and the prominent purple ridge of her clit.

Once again, Aria found herself debating how attached she was to the headboard. The thought of tearing free and pinning Tevos to the mattress while she sank inside that beautiful, inviting heat was tempting. But part of her was also curious. She wanted to see how far Tevos planned to push her. "Fine," she said, still captivated by the sight of Tevos's clit peeking out from beneath its violet hood. "I'll let you have your fun. You've got ten minutes."

Tevos just shook her head and laughed. "You aren't in any position to be making demands, Aria. I still have you tied up."

"For now," Aria warned, but she was painfully aware of how empty the threat was. With a bit of effort, she maneuvered herself back into a relaxed position again. She gave her bondmate a heavy gaze, never taking her eyes off Tevos's azure. "Tick tock. Nine minutes. Make sure they're worth it."

Before she could continue her brave front, Tevos flared her biotics and pushed her back against the pillows. Slender knees planted on either side of her hips, trapping her even more firmly in place. Aria smirked as her gaze traveled the landscape of Tevos's glistening body. It was no secret she enjoyed the sight of her bondmate covered in proof of her pleasure, but being forced into the act added an extra bit of filthiness.

Tevos took hold of her length with one hand and splayed her azure open with the other. "Am I still on a time limit, or have you decided to give up and let me have my way with you?"

Aria's tongue felt too thick for her mouth as she stared between Tevos's legs. "Very pretty," she purred, trying her best to sound unaffected. "But I've seen it before, and my cock's not gonna ride itself. Hurry up."

"You can't let me have any fun, can you?" Tevos pouted, although Aria could tell she wasn't the slightest bit disappointed. She used her right hand to spread apart her outer lips while the left began painting circles over her clit. "This would be so much nicer for both of us if you would just behave for three seconds," she gasped, her blackened eyes locking on Aria's.

Aria clawed at the wrinkled sheets beneath her. "Stop fucking around," she growled, lifting her hips to try and find contact. Tevos lowered herself a little further, and for one perfect second, Aria felt smooth, warm silk glide along the underside of her shaft. But when she tilted her pelvis in search of the right angle to push inside, Tevos drew back again, leaving her wet and straining against the air. "Shit. I thought you were going to ride me, not torture me."

Tevos laughed, still toying with the purple bud of her clit. Occasionally, she let it peek between two of her fingers. "Those two things aren't mutually exclusive." She pushed down again, and Aria gasped as Tevos resumed sliding along her length. Her inner muscles shivered, and the head of her cock screamed for heat as Tevos drew close, but she stopped just short, coaxing a few more drops from her tip instead. She had to swallow around the thick weight of her tongue as Tevos rocked back down, grinding hard against the bottom of her shaft instead.

"The way I see it, you have two options." Another pass, another spill of heat over her shaft. She could feel Tevos's azure fluttering even though it wasn't wrapped around her. "You can break free and take over…" Tevos dragged back up again, this time letting the throbbing tip of her cock press against the tight, clutching muscles of her entrance. Aria tried to thrust inside, but the restraints held her back. "...Or you can beg. Despite what you've said, I know you're actually enjoying this. You won't take the first option. So I'd start pleading for mercy if you want to come any time soon."

Aria closed her lips as tight as she could, struggling not to make a sound. Unfortunately, her resolve didn't last long. Tevos let the head of her cock press a little further, just deep enough to seal her tip in clinging heat, but it only lasted a moment. Soon, she was twitching against the cold air again, dripping her desire onto her tense stomach. "Please," she mumbled, so low that the word was barely audible. Her mouth hardly moved, and even as she said it, she knew Tevos would not be satisfied.

"What was that?" Tevos reached down to grab her cock, pumping it a few times to remind her of the aching, heavy fullness inside. "I couldn't hear you."

Aria scrunched her eyes shut and screwed up her face, hoping that if she didn't watch, the sensations would seem less intense. But even with her eyes closed, she could feel the exact moment that Tevos started rubbing against her again. The wetness and warmth were unmistakable. "Please," she said again, forcing the word out in the tightest hiss possible.

"Close, but not quite." She fisted the base of the toy, working the blunt end in and out in shallow circles while the pressure plate hummed against her clit. "Try again. Please, what?"

Aria rocked forward, but there was no clinging heat, no slickness against her. Relief wouldn't come unless she played nice. She forced it out in a rush, hoping if she muttered everything fast enough, perhaps Tevos would take pity on her instead of continuing to tease. "I need to come. I... I need you. Just get on and fuck me. Please, Thea..." Her voice was tinged with such neediness that it sounded foreign to her, like it belonged to someone else. But when Tevos finally lowered the barriers around her mind and continued sliding against her, it became painfully clear the voice muttering 'thank you' over and over was her own.

It didn't take long. As soon as she latched on to Tevos's consciousness, she was able to take what she needed. Her back arched, and the head of her cock pulsed against Tevos's hardened ridge. She lurched forward, spilling her release against her bondmate's azure. Her inner walls clenched around her end of the toy, sending pleasurable ripples through her shaft. She gritted her teeth to bite back a moan with each spurt that rushed from the tip.

But it wasn't enough. She needed to be deeper. Inside. Her hips strained forward, searching for warmth to sink into, but she found none. Her panting increased, and along with it came a high, needy whine of desire. She finally pried her eyes open long enough to catch a glimpse of herself sliding along Tevos's azure. Unfortunately, Tevos did not seem nearly as desperate despite sharing her orgasm. Although her breathing was still heavy and her eyes swirled with the darkness of the meld, her lips were still curved in an insufferable smirk, and she seemed to be in complete control of the aftershocks that twitched through her abdominal muscles.

Aria glared up at her, half frustrated and half terrified that Tevos would make her beg again. She had already started stiffening again, throbbing with each forward push of Tevos's hips. You're never satisfied, are you? Tevos teased, shifting the angle of her hips and settling over her. I've already made you come twice, and you're still so ready for me.

Aria couldn't answer. The only sound that came out of her mouth was a soft groan as Tevos lowered her azure, taking the very tip of her cock inside. She fisted the sheets even harder and clenched her teeth, determined not to make any more noise. Part of her still hoped that Tevos would run out of patience. Surely teasing her through two orgasms had depleted at least a little of her bondmate's willpower.

So, why are you still so desperate? Tevos sank a little lower, all the way down to the widest part of her flared head. Why is your cock still so hard and full?

Aria wanted to scream. Tevos knew exactly what she needed - had even made her beg for it without actually giving her what she wanted. The last thing she wanted to do was go through the same script again. But…

But Tevos was right. Her shaft ached. Her body was still a trembling mess of need. And her head was already throbbing, desperate to drink from their connection. If she didn't bury herself in the heat of Tevos's azure in the next few seconds, she would go crazy. She pushed up in a desperate attempt to sink inside, but Tevos anticipated her movements through the meld, hovering just out of reach and fluttering around the tip of her cock. "It's just a simple question, Aria," she said out loud. "If you answer, I'll give you what you want."

Aria growled. She clenched her fingers into fists. She tugged at her restraints even though she knew she couldn't break free without the help of her biotics. But the warmth of Tevos's muscles and the infuriating look on her face were too much to resist. Her resolve broke, and she took in a shuddering breath. I want to be inside you.

At last, Tevos began sinking down along her shaft, pushing past the thickest part and taking an inch of the length. "Is that it?" she said, running a hand down along her stomach to pull apart the folds of her azure and tease the point of her clit. "I think you can do better…"

Fine. I need to be inside you.

Tevos took another inch, and Aria hissed with a mixture of pleasure and disappointment. Only half of her cock was buried, and somehow, the sight only made her more desperate. "And?"

I need to be inside of you... Aria swallowed around the thick lump in her throat. "... Please?"

This time, Tevos answered her desperate plea. She slid the rest of the way down, taking her all the way inside. Aria let out a heavy sigh of relief. The tightness and heat enveloping her was more than welcome. She wasn't sure she could have survived another second.

Tevos's hands found their way to her breastbone, pressing her into the mattress as she angled her hips forward. The possessive, controlling gesture made Aria's breath catch. Wetness painted along her lower abdomen, and she could feel the hard ridge of Tevos's clit grinding against her. She didn't need to check the meld to know that Tevos was finished toying with her. A smile pulled at her lips, as she rasped out a grateful "Thank you."

Tevos's hips moved faster against hers, the rolling motion replaced with a rhythmic rise and fall. Soon, it was too much to bear. Tevos's desire joined with hers, fueling it and making it stronger. She burrowed deeper into Tevos's mind, scrambling for something to cling to. But before she shattered, she was finally granted reprieve.

Aria... Come for me.

Aria couldn't tell if it was a question, a command, or a subtle offering, but she didn't care. She arched off the bed, burying herself as deep as possible. Her hips bucked with unrestrained need, and the pressure inside of her finally burst. Heavy spurts of wetness splashed from the tip of her cock, pumping into the welcoming heat of Tevos's azure. She throbbed every time Tevos's inner walls tugged and rippled around her, and she clung tighter to the meld, giving and taking as much pleasure as she could.

The intensity of the union made it difficult to see, but somehow, she managed to look down along her stomach. The swollen ridge of Tevos's clit twitched between her glistening fingertips, and the sight made her own clit spasm against the sensation transmitter. Her shaft pulsed hard until their shared release spilled over, gushing out around the base of her cock in a clear flood of wetness.

At last, their shudders stopped. Aria dragged her eyes up to look at Tevos's face, and she sighed when she saw that her bondmate's smug smile was still firmly in place. "Well, you're really fucking proud of yourself, aren't you?" she grunted, flopping back against the pillows.

"Shouldn't I be? You weren't exactly obedient, but you could have broken free and taken over any time you wanted. Obviously, I must have done something worth being proud of to keep your interest for so long. That, or you enjoy taking orders from me more than you want to admit."

Aria rolled her eyes, but did not bother denying the statement. Instead, she lifted her arms as far as she could with her limited range of motion and gave Tevos a pleading look. Without being asked, Tevos dismounted and began undoing her cuffs. The relief she felt almost made up for the loss of Tevos's azure. She rolled her stiff shoulders while Tevos scooted further down on the mattress to free her ankles.

"So, was it worth it?" Tevos asked, placing a soft kiss on the inside of her knee.

"Was what worth it?"

"Waiting for me to get home. Staying tied up. Following my orders for a change."

Aria was far too happy to lie. "Yeah, it was worth it. The headboard's still there, isn't it?"

The beaming smile Tevos shot in her direction was more than worth her embarrassment. "Good," she said, crawling up to lie beside her. "We'll have to try it more often."

"We'll see. I'm not sure I want to let you take charge all that often. You're evil."

"I suppose that's a compliment coming from the Queen of Omega. Oh, don't take that out," Tevos added as Aria started to remove the shorter end of the cock. "We still need a shower. I might find a few more uses for it while we're cleaning up."

Aria sighed, lacing their fingers together and letting both of their hands rest over her stomach. "Fine. But it won't be so easy for you to tease me when I've got my arms and legs free."

Tevos laughed into the back of her shoulder. "We'll see about that. I have my doubts."
