The she-wolf stood up, facing him proudly and defiantly. She wasn’t afraid of him… didn’t even seem to be intimidated. That too was good. He’d never cared for overly submissive submissives. He wanted to earn their submission.

Her eyes narrowed into slits. “Are we negotiating, or do you just lay down what you want like the big bad wolf?”

So, she wanted to play, did she? “I do have eyes that see you better than most and part of what I will require does involve my eating you up,” Xander said with a smile.

“Alex,” started Nic.

“Stay out of this, Nic.”

“Yes, Master Nic, don’t worry about me. I’m quite adept at handling voracious wolves.” She turned back to address Alex. “If you can manage to give me what I need, I wouldn’t be opposed to having oral sex involved in aftercare.”

“See there, Nic? Stephanie and I are getting along just fine. I’m not worried about that, sweetheart. I’ve never had a woman underneath my whip that didn’t achieve subspace and more. What else?”

“I prefer a flogger to a whip, deerskin if you have it.”

“Why? Don’t get me wrong, I can give you what you need with either or both.”

“I prefer a thud to a sting.”

“You might prefer it, but I rather imagine you’re in need of some sting, at least from time to time. But in this instance, I’ll agree to just a flogger—single or double?”

“Are you capable of double?” she challenged.

She was going to be fun, and he was right, she was going to need some sting and not all of it using a whip.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xander saw Nic start to stand. It was obvious the Resident Dom was confused and becoming more concerned. Xander placed his hand on his shoulder and eased him back down into the chair.

“You’ll find that I’m able to take care of all of your needs. Anything else?”

“I can’t think of anything right now. Where do you want to do this?” she asked.

“Not so fast. I’ve heard your demands. Now you will hear mine. In answer to your question, we’ll do it in the main room. You will be naked and strapped with your back to the cross, blindfolded with noise-cancelling ear plugs. Aftercare will be in one of the private playrooms, and when I get you to subspace, you’ll submit to my making a meal of you. When I make you come…”

“Never happen,” she hissed.

“We’ll see about that. When I make you come, you will submit to me sexually until I come as well.”

He saw her confidence falter. Good, she should consider his demands. What she didn’t know was he possessed an inordinate degree of control; he was known for it. She looked down at Nic. Xander took her chin in his hand and turned her face back to his.

“He can’t help you. Agree and give me your safeword or get out,” he said in a low voice.

“Alex,” said Nic.

“For the last time, Nic, stay out of this. It’s between my sub and I.”

“I’m not your sub,” she said.

“Yet,” said Xander, enjoying her spirit. She was going to be a challenge, but then he liked a good challenge, especially one that had her figure and whose arousal smelled as sweet as hers did. “I’m going to ask you one last time for your safeword. If I don’t get it, I’ll assume you have none.”

“Chianti,” she said.

Xander chuckled. “Chiantiit is.” He offered her his hand. “Come along, sub. I find my hunger for you growing by the moment.”

She placed her hand in his and accompanied him to the main stage.

“You should know, little wolf,” he whispered, “I can feel the same thing and mean to claim you as mine.”

“You assume my alpha would allow you to claim me against my will.”
