Page 31 of Bella's Dom (The Doms of Madison County)

“Are we going to have sex?” she asked.

He braced his head in his hand and pressed his elbow to the mattress. “That’s up to you, Little Sub.”

She shook her head. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to tell. When you touch me, I have very few thoughts because you make me feel so good.”

She could tell that pleased him.

“How about you use the wordredwhen you want everything to stop? Be warned that if you do, you’re telling me I’m not being a good Dom.”

“Wait…”

“Listen. I’ve been a Dom for most of my life, and if I can’t see when you need me to slow down or stop, I’m not doing my job.”

If she wanted this man, she had to give him her trust. She wasn’t ready to give him her soul or heart, but he could have her body and trust. She nodded.

He cupped her face and looked at her with a sweet expression. “I’m so proud of you.”

Tears filled her eyes.

“Why are you crying?”

“Because no one has ever said that to me. Not once. Thank you.”

His hand slid down and curled around her neck where the white band was. She hadn’t taken it off since Cat put it on her.

He lowered his head and started to gently kiss her lips, cheeks, and chin before going back to her lips. This time, he kissed her with such hot passion she felt singed but loved it. He showed her with his tongue what he liked, and it made her cunt spasm in need. She hadn’t realized she’d made a sound until he lifted his head and smiled.

“I know, Baby. I’ll take care of you.”

Bella combed her fingers through his short hair. “I want to take care of you, too, Master.”

He pressed his lips to the palm of her hand. “Just having you here like this is perfect. If you wanted to wait, I’d be okay.”

Bella shook her head. “No. I want you.” She thought about her virginity and didn’t know if she should tell him. She was slightly embarrassed to be twenty-two and a virgin. It sounded kind of pathetic. But then again, he’d probably be gentler with her if he knew.

“There’s something I should tell you,” she said.

“You can tell me anything.”

“You know I’ve had to work several jobs to take care of my brother and me. Before that, I had my mom to care for, school, and a part-time job for food, so I didn’t have time for a relationship.”

“Go on.”

“I thought I should probably tell you that I’m … a virgin.”

She snapped her eyes closed, not wanting to see his expression. They popped open when he chuckled.

“I already know that, Little Sub.”

“How?”

“I felt your hymen when I had my fingers in you. Plus, you told me when I brought you here for the first time. You said no one had ever seen you naked. Right?”

She nodded. Yeah, she remembered that. “Oh. Yes. Is that a good thing for you to know?” Bella didn’t know if it mattered or not.

“Yes, Little Sub. That dictates how forceful I can get with you, so I don’t hurt you. It also tells me to have you at a higher level of passion before I take you this first time.”

She nodded and relaxed against the pillow, telling him without words she wanted him.
