Page 7 of Dancing With Temptation

Lincoln ticked the box for bondage but had to look up what some of the answers under the question about rope play meant. He had no clue what shibari was, for instance, but when he looked it up decided he wanted to know more about it. Some of the other questions were as bad as Roxie had suggested, things that disgusted him, but he guessed those questions had to be answered to get a full picture of where he rested on the kink scale and where his interests should take him.

By the time she came back from her phone calls, he was nearly done. She didn’t interrupt him, or ask to see his answers, which he was grateful for. This was a little embarrassing, and he was well aware that she was in control for the moment which made him uncomfortable. But at the same time, he kind of liked it too. Hmmm.

“I’ve finished, do you want to go over the results with me?” He knew she’d want to know, whether he liked it or not, so he pushed down his need to dominate in every part of his life and called her over.

“Yes, please. If you don’t mind.” She pulled her chair nearer to his and sat down. When he nodded in agreement, she looked down at his phone screen. “92% voyeur, wow, that surprises me.”

“Why?” He asked, feeling horrified that he’d done something that would make her think he was a weirdo.

“Because I thought you’d like to participate more, be more of an exhibitionist. It’s not a bad thing, Lincoln, it just surprised me.” She patted his arm and left her hand there. He liked that. “Let’s see the rest.”

Her lips moved slightly as she scrolled through, noting that he’d shown interest in rigging with raised eyebrows and a pursed grin, and nodded when she saw he was an experimentalist. “Okay, I see where we need to go. You’re slightly more on the switch side than dominant, but I think that’s the best of both worlds and I’m a switch too.”

“Okay.” He could only figure out what that meant through context, and he couldn’t disagree. The thought of Roxie tying him up and teasing the fuck out of him was kind of…fucking hot. He wouldn’t mind giving that a try at all.

“Non-monogamist?” She questioned and looked at him. “You sure about that? You don’t seem like the type that would share easily.”

“I’m not sure about that, but I’ve thought about group sex, at least. I don’t know if I could totally get into it, but I like the idea in my head, at least.” He answered her.

She scowled slightly, searched his face, then nodded. “It’s an honest answer, at least.”

“It is. I guess I’ll just have to decide when and if the opportunity arises.” He didn’t really expect it would.

“Oh, I can arrange it if you’d like.” She purred and winked at him with a sultry twist to her lips that nearly made his heart stop, it was so tempting.

He barely stopped his mouth from dropping open when she said that. “You could?”

“Of course, Lincoln. I’m a professional at this. It’s not a game to me, you see? This is what I do in life. I seek gratification, whether it’s sexual, my basic needs, or any other needs. But, if it can be a little kinky, as I’m fulfilling most of those needs, then it’s always better.”

She stared at him, her blue eyes dancing with amusement, but he knew it wasn’t at his expense. She was just amused with the whole situation. That was fine, he would be too if the shoe were on the other foot. “I understand. So, um, the rest is all in red.”

“Yeah, that’s the more hardcore stuff that I don’t go near.” Her eyes darted away, and it made him wonder if she’d treaded into that world by mistake at some point. “It’s not for me.”

“That’s fine. Obviously, it’s not for me either.”

“Yeah, I can see that.” She finally looked at him and smiled softly. “So, we have an idea of where to begin, now we just need to decide when.”

“Today?” He asked, trying not to sound too hopeful.

“We can start slow tonight, yes.” She paused, thought for a moment, and then gave him a devilish grin. “After dinner. Do you think the results are accurate? Anything not on there you’d like to explore?”

“No, I think it pretty much has me pegged.” He said it in total innocence but knew he’d said something when she snorted with glee in her eyes. “What did I say?”

“Pegged. That’s a whole other kink, Lincoln.” She laughed as she spoke and he couldn’t help but smile with her. After a moment’s thought, she seemed to change her mind about making him wait until after dinner. He wasn’t about to complain about it. “You ready for your first lesson?”

“Well, thank fuck for that. I thought you were going to say we could start after I took another one of those tests.” He laughed as he replied, relieved suddenly, but he wasn’t sure why. “Where do we begin?”

Roxie

She led the way up the stairs to the room she’d reserved as his very own playroom. The door was always locked so she turned to him with her hand out. “Give me the key.”

“Sure.” He answered, and she could see how nervous he was as he fumbled in his pockets. “I’ve got it here somewhere.”

He found the keyring that held the house keys and handed it to her. “Are you alright?” She asked.

He nodded and she unlocked the door and pushed it open. “Right, we haven’t signed the contract yet, so I’m going to give you an overview of what can happen in here. Once the contract is signed, we’ll begin the proper training.”
