“Anything off limits? Anything I should know? And I mean physically or emotionally. Like maybe you don’t like being called names or maybe you’ve got a bum knee or maybe you’re not down for anal sex.”
Devaney had to snort into his chest because sure those were equivalent.
“Um, I wouldn’t like being called names. I don’t mind being a little embarrassed but I don’t want to be humiliated or degraded.”
“I got you, baby,” he said, and rocked her a little from side to side in a way that reached right into her and soothed her heart. He really did.
“I don’t have any injuries or allergies.”
“Okay. I’ll put that in your chart,” Eric teased, and she slapped him lightly on his ribcage while smiling against the crisp cotton of his shirt.
“I don’t object to anything we’ve done so far but I don’t think I’m ready for full on…your-dick-in-my-ass. Yet.”
It was Eric’s turn to snort. “You’re so surprising, Devy. Shy Devy, sweet Devy and then with the dick-in-your-ass comments.”
“You asked!” she giggled.
“I know, and I’m glad you’re being honest with me. I just think it’s more fun to laugh about this stuff than to be super serious. Do you want me to stop joking around?”
“No, I like it too.”
She thought more about what would be okay, what wouldn’t, and realized she probably didn’t even know what she should be considering. It had been a while since she’d felt naive but she did now. This was a whole different world she knew nothing about. But what else would be important for Eric to know?
“I have an IUD and I haven’t been with anyone since Carter. I don’t think he was unfaithful but I don’t know for sure. I liked it when you’ve restrained me. And I…I like the idea of being spanked, and I want you to fuck me. Like, a lot.”
His arm tightened around her and he squeezed her hand. It sounded as though his breath might’ve caught too. “I think all that can be arranged, and I’ve got condoms. I did want you to know, too…”
Eric leaned away from her and tipped up her chin so she had to look at him. Not exactly a hardship, that.
“I mentioned that I see patients on the weekends. Not usually the kids from my pediatric practice but I do see grown-ups who enjoy age play—so acting like kids or babies—and/or medical fetish stuff. Does that bother you?”
