Is that a yes?

Sugar Bear

I’ll have to cancel Beyonce again, but I enjoy your company more anyway.

Dominant James

I’ll text you when I’m on my way to pick you up.

Sugar Bear

I can drive so you don’t have to bring me home that late.

Dominant James

Not a chance. You shouldn’t drive yet. And I wouldn’t be comfortable sending you home alone late without being there to walk you to your room.

Sugar Bear

I can drive with my heel instead of my toes. And I’m a big girl.

Dominant James

I’ll feel better driving you.

Sugar Bear

Fine. If you insist.

Dominant James

Good girl.

Sugar Bear

Didn’t we talk about keeping things platonic?

Dominant James

Touché.

“It’s pretty short, kitten.” Stella adds a whistle to her judgment. “If it were winter, you’d get old and new monia dressed like that.”

With a snort-laugh, I move in front of my phone screen, giving her a better view. “Jokes aside, is it too short?”

“For the Piggly Wiggly? Yes. For where you’re going? No. Not at all.”

Biting my lower lip, I twist once more, adding a shake to see if it flashes my ass. “You sure?”

“Let me consult my attorney,” she deadpans, then holds up her pointer finger at me as if she’s asking me for a moment.
