So she took matters into her own hands and crawled back onto his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held on for dear life.

“I take it back!”

“Take what back, baby?” he asked, wrapping his arms around her tight.

Okay, that felt much better.

“My safeword. I take back saying it. Sorry. I didn’t . . . sorry.”

“Shh. I want you to take a deep breath in and let it out slowly for me.”

She hadn’t felt this way in years. So panicky and upset.

Stressed.

He stood and she whimpered, trying to hold on tighter.

“It’s all right,” he told her. “I’m just moving to the couch so I can grab a blanket to wrap around you.”

He sat on the couch and grabbed the blanket off the back, wrapping it around her back. She hadn’t actually realized that she’d been shivering until then.

“You’re all right, baby. I have you. I’m here.”

“I want to be Pet again.”

When she was Pet she didn’t have to worry about anything.

She’d just had a momentary lapse in obedience.

“I should probably be punished.”

“Why would you be punished? I told you that you can always say your safeword without fear of retaliation.”

“No, not about saying my safeword,” she muttered. “For getting upset. For listening in. Only supposed to worry about things you tell me to worry about. I disobeyed.”

He was silent for a long moment before rocking her gently back and forth.

“I think I’ve put too much pressure on you,” he finally said.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“You can’t be perfect, baby. No one can. Everyone makes mistakes, messes up, does the wrong thing. And, in this case, I actually think it was me who was in the wrong.”

“What? Why?”

“Because I should have taken that call in private. Of course you couldn’t ignore what was being said when I used your name. That’s asking the impossible.”

She leaned back to peek up at him. “It really is.”

“Of course it is.” He grasped hold of her chin. “And while I can reassure you that there is nothing to be concerned about in meeting my family, I know that’s going to be a source of worry for anyone. Even though they will love you.”

“Of course they will. I’m amazing.”

Lies.

“I’d be concerned about meeting your family.”

“Why? You’d be every parent's dream boyfriend. Steady, reliable, smart, mature and handsome.”
