Keeping myhand between her legs, I inched it higher up her thigh and brushed the tips ofmy fingers over her swollen center as the waitress came to take our order.

Amberordered her food, her voice trembling and her cheeks becoming an even darkershade of red.

When thewaitress was ready for me to order my meal, I did with a calm and even voice.The people around us were none the wiser on where my hand was or what myfingers were doing. I wouldn’t take it further either, but I wanted Amber toknow where I was. Where I would always be. Even if we fought, I would be there.It didn’t matter to me that what we were doing was new. I liked her. I likedher a-fucking-lot.

When thewaitress left to put our order in, Amber turned to me. “What are you doing?”

“Justreminding you, pet.” My cock twitched as the endearment left my lips. It tastedsweet but I knew that as much as I liked calling her that, there was still along road ahead of us. We had walls up between us, for many different reasonsbut I wondered if over time, we could shatter them together.

“You don’tneed to remind me of anything, Sam.” She cupped my hand that was between herlegs. “I’m not fucking anyone else.”

My handremained curled around her inner thigh, her words sparking this need inside ofme. This need for more. A relationship. A pet. A damn wife.

“Tell mesomething about yourself,” she suggested, pulling me from my internal rampage.“Something that has nothing to do with sex. I seem to know you quite a bit whenit comes to that already.”

I grunted.“Trust me, Red, you don’t know nearly enough yet.”

She leanedthe side of her head against the back of the booth. “Tell me something then.Anything.”

I thought amoment, unsure as to what I could tell her and so soon, when something came tome. “I joined a BDSM club in my early twenties and have been a member eversince.”

Her eyeswidened, her mouth falling open. “Oh. My. I wasn’t expecting that.”

I shrugged.“It’s not a big deal.”

“Where isit?”

I stared ather, expecting her to ask what BDSM was but she didn’t. “A couple of hours fromhere. I didn’t want to run into women I’ve already been with because theyweren’t worth a second glance. And I know that makes me sound like an asshole,but you’ve heard the rumors, Red. Iama dick. I know I am. I alsorefuse to apologize for that shit unless I know I fucked up.”

“You’re nota dick to me. Not always anyway. And I also like it when you are.” It wasAmber’s turn to shrug that time.

“I thinkthe term you’re looking for is dominating, degradation, domineering or...” Asly grin spread on my face. “Sadistic.”

A notableshiver trembled through her. “God, yes.”

I tilted myhead, staring at her. “Tellmesomething, Red. You didn’t ask what BDSMis. Is it something that you already know about?”

“Uh...” Ashaky laugh left her. “I’ve always been submissive when it comes to sex, but Ialso like being a brat too. I’ll submit to you, but I want you to work for it,kind of thing. I tried getting Aaron to work with me on that, but he wasselfish. And a few other guys I’d been with didn’t do it for me. Then I met youand I knew instantly that you could be the Dominant I’ve been looking for.”

“Then whydid it take you so long to make your move?”

“I wasscared,” she said as the waitress came over with our plates of food. We thankedher and once we were alone again, Amber continued, “When I saw you talking tothe other girls, I thought you would go home with them. I don’t know. I saw youtalking to them a lot, so I figured I had no chance.”

“Right.” Igrunted. “You do remember that I never fucked any of them, right?” I found myone-night stands by other means, but it had been a while since I’d had sex.Before Red and I finally started sleeping together. Even though that had beenthe case, I still didn’t want her at my apartment. Too many weird and awkwardmemories there. She deserved better.

“You saidthat, and I believe you, but you asked me, so I’m telling you.” The bite in hertone, sent a ripple of pleasure down the length of my cock.

“Keep upthe attitude, pet.” I pinched her inner thigh. “I’m adding it to the list ofpunishments I’ll inflict later.”

Amberhuffed. “You know...”

When hervoice trailed off, she stuck her tongue out at me.

I chuckled,shaking my head. “You’re fucking adorable and sexy as hell.”

A wide grinspread on her face. “So are you, Sam, so are you.”

“You thinkI’m adorable?” I asked her, raising an eyebrow.
