If the guy was expecting anything from Mira, he was disappointed because although she was polite, she made it known with a gestured hand, she was otherwise engaged, and then with a pointed finger, she sent the man to the girl at the counter.
 
 “Hi,” she said sounding breathless as she arrived in front of me.
 
 Reaching out, I set my bag at my feet and pulled her into a big hug, lifting her off the ground for a second before setting her back onto her Mary Janes.
 
 “Let me have the full effect?” I asked, making a spinning motion with my finger. She spun for me and I admired her fromhead to toe. “Hi back,” I said when she faced me again. “You look beautiful tonight.” Her blush at my compliment further woke the beast in me, making my cock stir to life.
 
 “Thank you, Master Wes.”
 
 I arched my brow, frowning just enough to make her think about our last conversation. I knew the instant she remembered because her cheeks flushed a soft pink.
 
 “Thank you, Daddy.”
 
 I leaned in whispering, “Good girl,” just for her ears. “Don’t forget again. I’m not ready to turn you over my knee yet.”
 
 She shivered and licked her lips as she looked down, noticing my bag. “Do you want to take your bag to the suite?” She pulled a keycard out of her top where she’d had it in her bra. “I asked Luna for it, so we didn’t have to wait in line.”
 
 “Smart.” I nodded and looked around her. “Where’s your bag?”
 
 A deeper blush pinkened her cheeks. I couldn’t wait to see that color on her tits and ass.
 
 “Wasn’t sure if I’d be allowed clothing,” she teased with an adorable shy smile. “But there are robes in the room, and I also had Moses drop off my toiletry bag and a few things.”
 
 “Are you comfortable being alone with me before we have our talk?”
 
 She nodded. “We’ve been texting and chatting practically non-stop since we met and not all of that was negotiations.” She looked down at her Mary Janes. “You’ve definitely surpassed acquaintance now.”
 
 “A new friend?” I supplied, even though putting the word friend anywhere between us felt like a disservice to my heart.
 
 “You could say we’re new friends, but the kind with possibilities, not the kind I’d place in the ‘friend zone’.”
 
 Her smile was shy again and I was quickly learning it was a bit like kryptonite for me. “I’ll paddle your ass ten ways to Sunday if you friend zone me, Mira Wilcox.”
 
 She grinned, barely holding back a laugh. “Keep that paddle holstered, Master Wes. Paddles are awful.”
 
 Returning her smile, I took her hand folding my fingers between hers. “As you told me.” I leaned down, pressing a quick kiss to her hair. “Let’s go then.”
 
 The smell of fresh linens and leather hit me as I walked into the suite behind Mira. The floor-to-ceiling windows gave us a stunning view of the mountains and lake. I glanced at Mira, and her eyes were as big as mine as she looked around.
 
 Suddenly, watching her was way more interesting than looking at the suite. She stared at the fireplace as she ran her hand across the buttery leather couch, and then she looked up in awe at the high ceilings lined with rustic wood beams.
 
 “It’s gorgeous.”
 
 “You’ve never been in this room?”
 
 She shook her head, her ponytail swinging. “I’ve never been in any of the suites. The service sub rooms are a little more… compact.” She laughed, but I was still stuck on the fact that she’d never been in the suites before.
 
 “Have you never been someone’s sub for the weekend?”
 
 This time when she shook her head, the movement was so slight her ponytail didn’t budge.
 
 “No, I’ve played in the Dungeon with visitors, but never this.” Her eyes darted to mine. “Never wanted to before you.”
 
 I wanted to ask why she’d chosen to with me, but I also didn’t want her questioning her decision.
 
 “Maybe it makes me an ass and a caveman, but I love knowing that.”
 
 She grinned. “I love cavemen.”
