But with Katie it was different.

Very different.

‘Okay, we need a safeword,’ Cage said. ‘I don’t know what you think, but for me it’s essential.’

‘Definitely, and I’ve got the perfect word,’ Katie said, smiling. ‘Juicebox.’

‘Juicebox?’ Cage asked, raising an eyebrow. ‘Okay, I’m sure you have your reasons. Juicebox it is.’

Katie laughed and leant into Cage.

The feeling of Katie nestling into his body made Cage’s senses fire up. It was electric.

In that moment, Cage wanted nothing more than to devour every inch of Katie.

Play with her.

Tease her.

Have his way with her.

But Cage knew he had to keep his cool.

They still needed to discuss things further.

‘I think we should talk about, you know, kinks,’ Cage said, taking the heat out of the situation by gently but firmly lifting Katie into an upright sitting position. ‘You go first.’

Katie blushed a little.

Then giggled.

‘Don’t make me spank it out of you,’ Cage said, a playful but firm tone to his voice. ‘Come on… kinks. Talk.’

‘I really like…’

‘Spit it out! Remember, I could always get my paddle!’

‘Well I love the thought of being tied up,’ Katie said, immediately bursting into a fit of giggles. ‘Like, extreme bondage. Being tied up and left for a while. That kind of thing.’

‘Interesting,’ Cage said, purring with delight, his Daddy Dom senses almost spinning out of control. ‘We can certainly work with that.’

‘But it has to be safe,’ Katie added. ‘I guess I’ve got trust issues. You know, after my last Daddy.’

‘That’s very understandable,’ Cage said, knowing that helping Katie to trust again was going to be his big challenge. ‘Don’t worry. I’m going to make it my mission to have you feeling as safe as possible.’

Katie was practically glowing.

It felt good for Cage to see him have this kind of effect on someone.

Especially a Little like Katie.

For so long, Cage had felt himself to be way too cynical and dysfunctional for a Little. Years of grinding out the casework and investigating some brutal crimes had worn away his ability to communicate and show his softer side.

Plus of course the tragedy with his ex-partner.

But being with Katie was different somehow.

‘Your turn!’ Katie squealed, breaking Cage out of his daydream.
