May’s breath hitched, “You did?”
“Yes,” Nine whispered. He didn’t add the fact that he’d wanted to kill every one of them, ripping their eyes from their skulls, blood dripping from his fingers.
Instead, he held out a chair, “Sit with me.”
As May settled in, Nine nodded to a server and then resumed his seat.
“Have you thought about my proposal?” Nine asked, keeping a tight rein on the images swirling through his mind.
Wouldn’t do to get carried away with plans before he even knew her answer.
And he found that her answer was the most significant thing he’d had to wait for in quite some time.
Nine had never actually initiated a negotiation with a partner before. Usually, they sought him out, especially those with a predilection for restraints.
Women, men. Didn’t matter. It was all the same to Nine. He got what he needed, and he made sure the subs did too.
But none of them had ever beenhis.
May was different. And she had the potential to change everything. Nine wanted her for his own, and he’d never wanted anything.
“I’ve thought about it,” May whispered, like the answer was too much for her to say out loud.
The server set a glass of white wine in front of May, and she reached for it with a shaking hand.
Nine watched her pulse flutter.
The girl was scared to death.
And Nine thought that even if she was going to turn him down, at least she’d had the nerve to do it in person.
May sipped and took a deep breath as she returned her glass to the table.
“I’d like to negotiate,” May said. “With you.”
The fire of a thousand suns licked through Nine’s veins as he looked at May, not just as a beautiful woman who wanted to explore her sexuality, but as a possession.
His.
His submissive to guide through a sensual awakening that would leave them both different from the people who had started the journey together.
Nine shifted in his seat, angling his big body toward her, and pulled May’s chair so that she was sitting between his knees.
He crowded her, and she looked up as she sucked in a surprised breath.
“You’re mine now, May,” Nine growled, recognizing somewhere in the back of his brain that he sounded like a Neanderthal but also recognizing that he didn’t care, so he plowed on. “I will not share you, and I will have no other submissives for as long as our arrangement lasts.”
“Share me?” May asked, a note of panic in her voice. “Does it mean what it sounds like it means?”
“It means that some doms enjoy sharing their submissives with others. I, however, don’t. No other man will touch you while we’re together.”
May sagged with relief, “Okay, that’s good. I don’t want that.”
“You can tell me anything else you do or don’t want as we negotiate, but that’s one point I won’t compromise.”
“Agreed,” May nodded. “So do we negotiate now?”
Nine nodded, “With experienced partners, that can be pretty informal and is usually discussed sometime before a scene. But since you’re new and this is long-term, I’d feel better if we were more formal with the process.”
