Page 49 of Until I Own You

My lips part.

“You need direction. You need someone who can protect you. Who can control you.”

“I need a Dom.”

Shit, I should never speak without prompting.

The scene hasn’t begun, yet. We haven’t set a contract in place, limits, anything of what I heard happens between subs and Doms. But I wanted to be his perfect sub from the start.

I don’t want to give Seth any reason to change his mind.

Seth chuckles, a dark and luscious roll in his mouth. “Yes, Bridget. You need a Dom. And I want it to be me.”

God. Letting the thought that I might get a Dom, and he might be the one, wash over me releases tensions I didn’t know existed in my body.

I have been holding, bracing, trying to be a good girl and a professional young woman, attempting to navigate life.

I have been forced to live in a world where I need to be assertive, decisive, confident. In control.

I’m not in control. Ever. I hate it.

And to know I might not have had to for so many years if Seth had only said something.

But maybe I was not good enough before. Maybe I’m not now. But I will try my best to show him what a good girl I am.

“Will you accept my offer?” he asks. “If only for the night?”

The last thing I want is for him to mistake my eagerness for immaturity. But to be his. To submit to him every night. This is a need. Not a want.

“I will. I mean, yes, I’ll be your sub.”

A smile spreads across his face, a bold one. A proud one.

I’ve given him what he’s wanted.

And to know that I have pleased him pleases me. Pleases me so much I already feel blood rushing to my core and swelling my lower lips. I know once I take a step, I’ll notice how wet he’s made me.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle how good it will feel to submit to Seth.

“Good.” He drops his hand from my chin. “Follow me.”

Seth strides toward the open chamber at the other side of the hall.

I watch as he goes, his tight ass in black slacks looking so fucking good. And with no one around, I don’t have to worry about being caught looking.

I drop my bags and rush after him.

SETH

Bridget enters the chamber like a child entering her classroom on the first day of school. It isn’t too far off, anyway. I will be training her tonight.

I was at a loss for words when she told me she had no experience.

The hours I spent agonizing over her with other Doms.

And now, I get to show her what a real Dom is. How she deserves to be worshipped.
