Uh-oh. What?
“I need to quit.”
Quit? But then he wouldn’t be here. He’d move away and she’d never see him.
“Whoa, easy. Hey, look at me,” he said firmly, waiting for her gaze to meet his. “That’s better. Deep, even breaths. You’re all right.”
He drew her back to the sofa, but this time, he sat beside her.
You’re leaving?
“No, I’m not. I’m not going anywhere. But it wouldn’t be right to be paid to guard you when we’re in a relationship.”
Oh.
Reuben will freak either way.
“Yeah?”
Yep. With Reuben, it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Amusement filled his face. “Is that so?”
She nodded. And she knew he needed the money. So, win-win.
“Wouldn’t feel right taking his money.”
He has plenty.
“Not the point.”
She decided to let that go for the moment. Her mind had enough to cope with.
“This is what we’ll do. Go slow. But I’m in charge. We’ll make rules. Talk about punishments. Work out a way for you to safeword. But we’ll do that tomorrow.”
Relief filled her. She felt exhausted.
“Right now, let’s just watch a movie and relax.”
He drew her close. “Fair warning. I’m gonna want to touch you a lot. If it’s too much. Tell me.”
She liked being touched by him.
“Oh, and Duchess?”
She looked up when he tilted her chin. “That whole asking for forgiveness rather than permission thing?”
She nodded.
“Try that with me, and you won’t be sitting comfortably.” He gave her a pointed look that made her squirm.
“And I haven’t forgotten I owe you a spanking for being naughty today. That will come later.”
What? Why?
“You disobeyed me.”
He reached over and grabbed the hoodie he’d brought in with him.
