Page 14 of Rex's Release

Rex gave a nod. His amusement slid away and was replaced by a look of contemplation, his brows pulled together slightly, and his attention solely focused on her. “Is there something… that… incited this?”

She shrugged. “If you asked a therapist, I’m sure they would say it had to do with my childhood being somewhat transient, along with not having much control with most of my young adulthood. Until my thirties, I was subject to the whims of bosses and professors… and others. Even now, the clinic where I work is owned by someone who micromanages everything.” She sighed and added, “So, yeah, I guess there’s a lot that goes into it.”

Rex gave her hand a squeeze of support. “Do you ever feel comfortable in a moment of… submission?”

“Comfortable? Sure.” She smirked. “Satisfied? Not yet.”

After giving her a wink, he ran his tongue along his bottom lip and chuckled. “You like being in control in the bedroom.” It was said as a statement, but Jolene could tell he was waiting for her to respond.

“Yes.” She let her eyes run over his body, taking in his strong body, rugged exterior, and handsome face. “Is that something you want?”

Rex leaned forward a bit. “Doc, I would let you do a great number of things to me if it meant I got to taste you for only a moment.”

Rexignoredthesuddentightness of his jeans. The conversation was too important. Fearing moving to adjust himself would steer the conversation to something else, he pretended he wasn’t in pain and kept focused on Doc.

His wolf was going apeshit inside of him, pacing and letting out short, low howls, demanding he claim her.

“This isn’t a phase, Rex,” she stated calmly.

“I’m aware.”

“That means, more often than not, I would be the one calling the shots in the bedroom.”

He gave a nod. “Again… I’m aware.”

Doc reached over and picked up her glass. After taking a sip, she said, “We’re talking mostly sensation play and light bondage.”

A vision of being tied to his bed while a naked Doc straddled him and poured candle wax onto his skin had his cock twitching in the confines of his jeans. Allowing a slow grin to grow on his face, Rex replied in a low voice, “You want to tie me up and make me feel?” His tone turned sarcastic. “Oh. No. Please, don’t.”

Doc rolled her eyes but smiled. “I’m being serious.”

“Seriously, I’m liking what I’m hearing.”

Her eyes narrowed on him. “How familiar are you with BDSM?”

He retrieved his glass from the table and took a sip before he shrugged. “Besides some light play of my own? Not much, personally. I mean… one of my club brothers is most definitely a Dom. His woman is very much not a submissive in public, though, so that gets… interesting.”

Doc chuckled. “Snagged himself a brat, did he?”

“He seems to enjoy that about her, even when she’s doing his head in.”

“That’s often the case.” She took another sip and returned her glass to the coffee table. “As for outside the bedroom, I’m not looking for a full Domme/sub relationship. I won’t be telling you how to run your life or anything… if this goes anywhere.”

Rex raised a brow and slid a bit closer to her. “Doc, let’s not pretend we aren’t going to head upstairs at some point this evening.”

“Awfully sure of yourself,” she returned, but he watched her attention shift from his eyes to his lips.

“Or just calling things the way they are.”

Her gaze lifted to his again. “We need to talk about more before we can go there. Establish boundaries. Safe words. Be clear about what is expected from each other.”

“Okay.” Rex lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed the back of her knuckles. Gently rubbing his lips against her skin, he said, “I’m not really into deep pain or humiliation. You want to tie me up? Blindfold me? Use toys? Try new things? Candles? Ice? Feathers? Stuff like that? Hell motherfucking yes.” He lowered their hands to his thigh.

There was amusement in her bright blue eyes as she asked, “Ass play?”
