“Because I’m awkward and don’t know what to say after I have two of the most amazing orgasms I’ve ever had in my life.”
His chest moved as he laughed. “Well, you could just say thank you.”
She gasped, reaching over to tickle him as his laughter deepened. “Thank you, huh?”
He rolled over, pressing down on her. “Yes, thank you. Thank you, darling girl. For trusting me. For gifting me your orgasms.”
Ahh, damn. He was killing her here.
“Thank you,” she whispered back before he kissed her.
“Now, let’s get up so you can pee and clean up. Then we can hop in the hot tub.”
How did he know she needed to pee? Sometimes she thought he was a mindreader.
“Urgh, I should really get back to the hotel,” she said as he helped her off the bed. Fatigue pulled at her.
He frowned. “I wish you’d let me pick you up. I don’t like the idea of you driving back alone at night.”
“You have to get up early. You don’t need to be driving me around all over the place.”
He cupped her chin in his hand. “I would do that and more to keep you safe. Next time, I’ll drive you. You’re tired.”
“I’ll be fine.” She tried to give him a confident smile. “But maybe a rain check on the hot tub. I think I’d fall asleep if I got into it now.”
“You could stay the night. Leave in the morning after I’m gone. I can leave a key to lock up. Pretty safe around here anyway.”
It was tempting. So tempting.
She bit her lip. “I can’t.”
“Not ready?”
“No, it’s not that. I have to take my medication.” She looked away.
“Hey, there’s no shame in needing medication. But I do have questions. If you decide that you want to explore your submissive side with me, I will need to know.”
She sighed. “It’s really not that serious.”
He just stared down at her.
“I have high blood pressure, and I need to take medication for it.”
“Is there anything else you have to do? Anything I can help with?”
She forced herself to look at him, amazed at the concern on his face. Why had she been worried about telling him?
So silly.
“No. I just . . . I’m meant to be eating better, exercising, and stressing less. That’s part of the reason I’m here. To relax.”
“I can help with those things. If you’ll let me.”
“You’re an exceptional guy. I probably don’t deserve you.”
“Of course you do. You deserve the best of everything.”
“Oh, calling yourself the best, are you?” she teased.
He grinned, then his face grew serious. “Were you worried about telling me?”
“I just . . . I’m not used to telling people private things about myself.”
“I won’t tell anyone. It’s between us.”
“Thanks. I know it’s silly, but it’s the way I feel.”
“Then it could never be silly.” He kissed her lightly. “Thank you for trusting me.”
She knew there was more she should tell him. But it could wait until she made a decision.
Who are you kidding? You know what your decision will be.
However, she still felt slightly vulnerable after telling him about her parents.
“If there is anything you need while I’m gone, you will call me. I’ll see that you get it even if I’m not here.”
She leaned her forehead against his chest. “Is it crazy that I’m going to miss you?”
He cupped the back of her head. “Well, if it’s crazy, then we’re both insane because I feel that way too.”
Dominic wrapped his jacket around her.
“Are you sure you won’t need this?” she asked him, taking a discreet sniff of the coat. It even smelled like him.
Yummy.
“No. I have another jacket. But next time, you’ll remember to wear a coat if you’re going to be out at night. It gets cold around here and I won’t have you getting sick.”
Lord. So bossy.
And you want to climb him like a tree and show him how much you like his bossiness.
“Now, sit down while I put your boots on for you.”
“I’ll put them on outside. They’re dirty.”
“Sit.”
She sat on the chair that was beside his front door. Whoa. She frowned up at him. “Why’d I do that?”
“Because you’re a good girl.”
He sounded way too amused for her liking.
“Woof.”
“Oh, you like the idea of pet play? I happen to be fond of a game of chase myself.”
She shivered at the heated look on his face.
“Chase?”
“Yep. Sometimes I like to play the part of the hunter, searching out his prey. Which would be you.”
“What happens when you catch me?”
“Well, then I’ll have to make you submit. And you will. You’ll get on your hands and knees, that ass in the air, presenting yourself to me. You’ll lower your chest and widen your legs so I can see your glistening pussy. And then I’ll fuck you until you know who owns you.”
Well. Hell.
She didn’t even have anything to say to that. Her mouth was dry.
