Felix wanted to surrender himself in Shannon's arms immediately, but he knew he had a rare chance to share more with his lover. He had Shannon's attention and his open mind, and Felix could show him things that he couldn't before. And, when he next reached into the box, his hand closed around something he immediately knew he wanted to share.

The black leather cuffs were beautiful and soft, lined with fluffy sheep's wool, linked with a strong, bright silver chain. The chain was removable with clips small enough that the wearer of the cuffs would never be able to reach them. Felix lifted one of the unfastened cuffs and brushed the leather against Shannon's cheek so he could feel it. "I don't enjoy pain, but I do enjoy being bound."
