He released her and she took a step backward. “Do you want me to change?”
“No. Leave your outfit on. I’ll remove it later.”
She nodded and hurried off to the locker room. It was only a little after nine. The night was still young. He’d thought about staying, taking her upstairs and getting a room, but he figured he’d pushed her enough for one night. Besides, he was ready to have some alone time with her. He had some boundaries of his own that needed pushing.

Chapter 17
Grace still couldn’t believe she’d done that. And even more amazing was that she’d enjoyed it. The embarrassment had only kicked in later. It hadn’t even occurred to her to use her safeword. Not once.
That didn’t, however, make it any easier exiting the club and knowing everyone had been watching her. Even Ali, the woman who’d introduced herself to Grace in the locker room, waved goodbye to her from across the room with a knowing smile.
Alexander helped her into his car, making sure she was covered. Not only would it be indecent exposure, but it was also quite chilly. She huddled in her coat as he drove through the downtown streets toward her house. A few miles from their destination, he turned the heat on full blast.
“Thanks.” She held her hands up to the vents, trying to warm up.
He reached over and squeezed her knee in response. The gesture had her body beginning to warm in a complete different way. It didn’t matter that there had been nothing sexual about it. Her body reacted to his touch.
Like the night before, Alexander waited for her to unlock the door and then followed her into her house. It didn’t feel odd at all for him to be there, and the way he casually hung up both their coats spoke to how comfortable he was as well. Realizing that brought her up a little short.
“What is it?” he asked when he noticed her staring.
“Sorry. I was just thinking how comfortable it feels having you here.”
He closed the small distance between them and ran his hands up and down the outsides of her arms. “Does that upset you?”
“It should,” she whispered. Then she met his gaze and asked, “Shouldn’t it?”
Alexander brought his hands up to cup her face. “There’s no wrong answer here, Grace. You feel how you feel.”
They didn’t appear to be playing now. This wasn’t a Dom talking to his sub. This was Alexander being there for her and helping her deal with the complicated emotions that kept bubbling up inside like he had from that first day. She had no idea why he put up with her. Without thinking about anything else except what she wanted in that moment, Grace rose on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to his.
Her eyes fluttered open to meet his gaze as she pulled back. Alexander eased his palms up her arms, following the curve of her neck until he bracketed her face with his hands. He rubbed his thumbs along her cheeks several times before bringing his mouth down to cover hers.
Unlike her chaste peck on the lips, his kiss was firm and demanding. Her Dom was back. He held her face in the exact position he desired as he took what he wanted. Grace forgot about everything else and allowed herself to get lost in his kiss.
It ended as abruptly as it had started it. He released his hold on her so quickly she struggled to keep herself upright. “Upstairs. Now.”
Grace only paused for a moment to catch her breath before scurrying up the stairs. She didn’t waste any time upon entering her bedroom before taking up position on the floor, making sure her legs were spread wide so he would know she was ready and willing for whatever he had in store.
Several minutes passed. She heard him moving around downstairs, most likely making sure everything was locked up tight. Grace hoped that meant he planned on spending the night again. When she finally heard him on the stairs, her heart began pounding in her ears. She focused on taking deep, calming breaths, trying to get herself in the correct mindset.
The sound of his footfalls stopped when he reached her bedroom. She knew he could see her kneeling there, waiting for him, but he didn’t approach her. Not right away.
Right when she thought she wouldn’t be able to take it anymore, he walked up to her, gathered her hair into one of his large hands, and tilted her head back, forcing her to look up at him. The sensation sent tingles all the way down to her toes.
He traced the outline of her lips with his free hand before reaching for the snap on his jeans. Within seconds his pants were down around his ankles and he was stepping out of them. Something flashed through his eyes for a split second, and then it was gone. He didn’t give her time to contemplate it before moving forward and pressing his cock to her lips.
Grace relaxed her jaw. Her mouth fell open, inviting him in.
As he pushed inside, Alexander closed his eyes as if what he was doing took great concentration. She ran her tongue along the underside of his head and she heard a sound she didn’t quite understand come out of him. She looked up to find him staring down at her.
He brought his hand up to her mouth, cupping her face. It was a very loving gesture—in contrast to the emotions she saw racing across his face.
Then he spoke, his voice raspy. “Tap on my wrist if you need me to slow down.”
It was all the warning she got before he thrust his hips, sending him deeper. His cock bumped the back of her throat before retreating. She had to remember to relax her throat and breathe. It had been a long time since she’d done this for a man. He repeated the motion over and over again as she massaged her tongue along his salty flesh, wanting to increase his pleasure.
