As I turned, he gave me a beaming smile like he was so proud of me. “That’s very nice and shows how smart you are. Being smart is a good reason for you to be my Owner too. I’ve met a lot of Doms who…who aren’t smart.”
He shrugged like it was crazy but true. “You want me to be your pretty doll, but you see me, not just the outside me.”
I wasn’t sure how to respond to any of that, but just as I was the one who was going to start making stupid aww sounds, he had me rolling my eyes again. “And that was the most erotic scene ever. So I have to keep you because no one has ever made me stay still and I didn’t realize how exciting it would be. I can’t wait to make a mess again, Owner.”
He was going to be the death of me.
“So, you’re going to be my Dom and my Owner and…” His tone finally got a questioning tone to it like he’d come to the end of everything he was completely confident about. “We’re going to date?”
The fact that he was so sure of everything else but doubted that we’d actually date had my heart aching.
Taking the finger sandwiches and plate of sliced fruits and cucumbers over to the table, I lowered myself down until we were at eye level.
There was just enough doubt in his eyes to make me lean in and press a soft kiss to his lips. “Yes, pretty one. You’re going to be my naughty sub, my sweet doll, and my exasperating date. But we’re not going to rush. We’re going to go slowly so you have plenty of time to think about everything.”
Like the fact that I absolutely loved that he’d been the sweetest doll I’d ever seen…and one of the naughtiest subs I’d ever met.
But I could see the minute he discounted everything he didn’t want to hear.
He brushed aside the idea of going slow and that we were going to take our time, throwing his arms around my neck. “You’re the best Owner ever and I’m going to be so good for you. Especially when you’re so sweet and make me a tea party.”
Again, he somehow made the innocent promise sound wonderfully wicked.
I had a feeling that meant we weren’t both on the same page when it came to what going slowly meant…having my very own doll was going to be exhausting.
Chapter 9
Emerson
As long as we didn’t have sex until after we’d gone out on an outside date, that would be slow, right?
I almost asked, but I was very smart, and Owner’s face was very expressive even when it was just a stern glare.
Yep, we’d just skip the questions about going slow for the time being.
“Owner?” The way his eyes tightened as he tried not to sigh was so cute. “Sometimes Owners hold their dolls at tea parties and feed them their tea and sandwiches from their laps.”
Luca was such a good Owner, he’d even cut the crusts off. But he might not know about Owners cuddling their dolls.
He smiled.
I had the best Owner ever…and if he was this nice as an Owner, he probably wouldn’t even scream at me in a restaurant when we actually left his apartment.
“You’re not drinking tea on my lap, pretty one.” He raised one eyebrow when I tried looking even sweeter. “That is not practical. You’ll get burned. Let’s have our tea party and then we’ll go sit on the couch.”
Then I could sit on his lap.
Got it.
“Yes, Sir.” Rewarding Owners when they did the right thing was always a good idea. “Thank you.”
Leaning over, I kissed his cheek because that couldn’t be considered too fast since it was very cute. “Thank you for my tea party and my pretty nightgown.”
I looked adorable.
“You’re welcome.” He kissed my nose as he stood, then shook his head as he went to get our tea. “One step at a time.”
He didn’t seem to be talking to me, and I had no desire to agree to that, so I just smiled and waited for him to get the rest of our party together.
Oh, Owner even had teacups.
Everyone was going to be so jealous.
But the hardest part of tea parties was waiting for everything to be ready. It was so perfect, though, it was worth sitting still for it. Pretty sandwiches and fruit, and Owner even had cookies to go with our tea.
By the time we’d finished, I was wonderfully full and feeling very cuddly. Owner even chuckled as I yawned. “Come here. We’ll talk a bit more then it’s going to be time for you to head home. You’re tired and I don’t want you getting into an accident.”
Hmm, then he should let me stay here.
“Yes, Sir. I won’t drive when I’m too tired.” There were ways to work around nearly every problem. “Your doll is ready to be cuddled, Sir.”
