So, this is it, time forthechat. Let me guess, he’ll punish me first for throwing water on him, then decide he wants me here as his permanent fuck buddy.

“Whatever you’re thinking … stop,” he tells me as he reaches over and rubs the crease from the middle of my brow.

“Why? I don’t know what you want to talk about, and you don’t want to hear what I think, do you?” I snark back.

His jaw clenches as he looks me up and down, biting in his lip. “Oh, I don’t?”

“No.”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” he tells me as he runs his hand through his soft dark hair. “What do you think?”

I turn to face him on the bed and shrug. “Ok, you really want to know?”

“Sure.” He nods.

“First, I think you’re gonna punish me for throwing water on you earlier, then you're going to tell me you want me here to be your very own sex slave,” I spit.

He laughs, and I scowl at him. “And what’s so fucking funny? That’s all I’ve been hearing from you,” I shout. “How I’m yours and I’m staying here forever even if you have to force me to stay … doesn’t that say sex slave to you?

“No,il mio tesoro, it doesn’t.” He clenches his jaw, watching me, as I sit waiting for an answer.

He stands from the bed pulling me gently to the edge and wraps his hands in mine as he gets on his knees in front of me.

“Il mio tesoro, I would do anything for you. I’m on my knees and asking you to stay here with me … forever.” He smiles.

I can feel the burn in my eyes as they start to fill with tears that I don’t want to fall.

“Youaremine, but I amyourstoo.” His eyes don’t leave mine and a tear escapes, dropping to his hand that’s resting on mine.

“Yes,” I say, my voice a whisper.

His lip lifts almost in a smile. “Just to be clear, you will want every punishment I give you, but we start now … a new beginning as partners.”

I can’t contain the joy I feel inside. I wanted him to feel the same way I did, but I never expected it to actually happen.

I jump forward and wrap my arms around his neck and hold him close. “Yes, yes, yes … to everything,” I tell him, the smile on my face wide.

He hasn’t told me he loves me, but dream Nicolas did, and that’s close enough … for now!

I pull back, nibbling my bottom lip. “Erm, I …I just have one question,” I ask him.

“Okay.” He sits back on the bed, his hand resting on my cheek. “You can always ask me anything. I don’t want any secrets between us,il mio tesoro.”

“My job, do I still have it?” I smile, hoping he’ll say yes.

“It’s dangerous,” is all he says.

“So am I,” I respond with a huge grin across my face.

“Yes, yes, you are.” He leans in and kisses me.

This kiss is different, it’s tender, loving almost, and I don’t want to ruin it by pulling away to get an answer, but we need to get everything out.

Pulling back, I look at him. “Well?”
