Do I let him in that deep? That far? Do I open myself up to him? Do I want him inside me?
 
 God, I do.
 
 I really do.
 
 That scares me the most, especially after today.
 
 Is my mind so twisted that I’m actually considering this?
 
 “I ...” I try, but my voice is betraying me.
 
 “Yes or no.”
 
 Biting my lip, I stare up at him.
 
 “Yes,” I say, before my brain even has a chance to change my mind.
 
 “I have rules.”
 
 Rules?
 
 He has rules?
 
 “Do not touch me.”
 
 Don’t touch him? At all? I don’t understand?
 
 “Why?” I whisper.
 
 “Because I said don’t. Clear?”
 
 I can only think of one thing that he’s asking of me right now, and I’m not sure it’s a situation I’m comfortable with. Not entirely, anyway.
 
 “Are you asking me to submit?”
 
 My voice comes out shaky, my stomach twisting with nerves.
 
 “Yes.”
 
 Oh.
 
 Oh. My.
 
 “And if I don’t?” I breathe.
 
 He leans down until his lips are nearly touching mine. “Then I walk.”
 
 I’ve never been in a situation like this before. All the men I’ve been with have been gentle, if not boring, lovers. Western is telling me that I have to keep my hands off, and he is the boss. He will control the entire situation, and if I try to have a say, he will leave. How am I to enjoy it, if I can’t put my hands on him? My lips on his skin? My mouth on his cock?
 
 “I can’t touch you at all?” I ask.
 
 “No.”
 
 “Then how will I enjoy it?”
 
 Releasing my jaw, he steps back. “You’ll enjoy it.”
 
 The way he says that, his tone gravelly and confident, has my insides heating.
