Drew smiled and relaxed his shoulders a little. “I’m trying not to stress too much about it, but it’s strange putting all your wants and desires out there even though I know you’re already aware of some of them.”
“The first time is always the hardest. It will get easier.” She picked up her list and scanned the first page. “Let’s start with something simple. As far as the D/s dynamic is concerned, what are you interested in? Given what I know about you so far, I can’t see you wanting something 24/7.”
He grinned. “No. Not only would that be difficult with my job, I just can’t see myself being submissive all the time. I’m not even sure I could be that way most of the time. My fantasies usually revolve around bedroom activities, so I think I’d like to confine it to that. For now, at least.”
Beth nodded. “So bedroom only. That works for me, although I would be interested in expanding that some in the future if that is something you want. A 24/7 relationship doesn’t appeal to me either. Frankly, it’s too much work. But I do like the idea of you kneeling at my feet while we watch a movie, or maybe even having you do things around the house while I keep you in line with my crop.”
“That could be interesting.”
“Very.” Beth couldn’t help but picture Drew on his hands and knees cleaning up some mess she’d intentionally made for the sole purpose of watching him do her bidding. He’d be naked, of course, and she’d have fun playing with him while he was busy trying to get her floor spotless.
Drew cleared his throat. “If I’m working, we can’t play. I can’t jeopardize my job.”
“I would never want to put your career in danger, Drew. Nor would I want you distracted when you’re working. Your job is dangerous enough as it is.”
He frowned. “My job still worries you.”
Beth sighed. “I’m not sure that will ever change. I mean, if I were rushing into a burning building as part of my job, wouldn’t you be concerned about me on some level?”
“You’re right. I would.”
She grinned, trying to lighten the mood a little. “Let’s get back to our discussion. We’ve figured out when we don’t want to play, so now we need to figure out when we do. I know your schedule is . . . well, for lack of a better word . . . strange.”
He chuckled.
Beth rolled her eyes. “It’s the truth. I’m going to need a calendar to keep track.”
“You get used to it.”
“I suppose I will.” She reached for a couple of grapes and popped them into her mouth. “But that still leaves the question as to when. Between your schedule and mine, it could get a little hairy.”
Drew picked up a cheese square and took a bite. “My single days off can be hectic. Also, I have to be at work by seven in the morning.”
“So I’d say those days are out.”
He frowned again.
“What?” she asked, not understanding his reaction.
“I want . . .”
“Yes?”
“Beth, I want a relationship with you. I want the other stuff, too, but I want us to date and . . . and be together as a couple.”
She knew this. If all he’d wanted to do was play, she was sure he would have been able to find another Domme at the club to experiment with. The man was easy on the eyes and she’d seen more than one Femdom looking him over. She wasn’t sure what his wanting a relationship had to do with their playtime, though. “I know.”
He grinned. “Good.”
“So it’s agreed that we only play during the stretches when you have at least four days off, and during the rest of the time we’re just a regular couple.”
“Agreed.” He paused. “That means we can still do normal couple things during the non-play times, correct?”
It took her only a moment to get what he was asking. She burst out laughing. “Are you asking if we can still have sex if we’re not playing?”
Drew’s cheeks turned a bright shade of pink.
Beth shook her head. “You are such a guy.”
