therapists are built for relaxation, not for pain. I have a feeling that you can’t do anything more than

make me fall asleep.”

He’s goading me. Deep down, I know it. I want to lash out at him, to tell him he’s wrong, that I’m

far more than just a pretty face and soft hands. I know techniques that can make him howl. But I don’t

want to fall into his trap. I don’t want to rise to his bait.

Shaking my head, I spare him a side glance. “You’re an asshole. You know that?”

“So I’ve been told, but right now, it’s not the case. I’m merely teasing you, seeing just how far I

can push your buttons.”

“I guess we’ll never know because I’m choosing not to hurt you. But if you want to be a demo

bottom, I suppose it’s okay since everyone else is here to watch if you get out of hand.”

With a soft laugh, Master Aiden leans in. “You know what? I think you’re scared. I think you

won’t try because you’re worried about the repercussions. Well, what if I took all that away? A

wager, just between us?”

“You want to bet that I can’t hurt you? Are you insane?”

“For you? Yes. Clinically? No. I’ve been tested.” At my horrified glance, he throws his head back

and laughs. It’s deep, rich, throaty, and a sound I’d love to hear more often. “You can pick your jaw

up off the floor. I’ve never been tested. So, what do you say? A bet?”

He extends his hand, and I stand there, examining it. “To understand, I can do any therapeutic or

massage treatment on you, no matter how brutal or harsh, and I won’t be punished?”

“Not one implement or scolding word will be given for your actions. I promise.”

“What do I get if I make you either tap out or safe word?”

Master Aiden pauses and taps his fingers against his full lips. “I’ll do anything you want as long

as it’s in my skill set to provide it.”

“And if I lose?” My throat clenches as I watch him, my mind swirling with all sorts of

possibilities.

“If you lose, little therapist, then I get to do a medical scene with you and drag you into my world.

Sound fair?”

Medical play. I knew it. I knew he’d want to do that with me. It’s something I’ve never done or

even tried before. I’ve had a fascination, sure, but it always looked so extreme, so edgy.

“Are you going to hurt me?”
