“I don’t think I’m a masochist,” she said, a hint of panic in her tone. “But certain kinds of pain, yeah.”

“Do you want sex to be part of our scene?”

Her cheeks turned pink, but her grin was instant. “If there’s no sex in your violence, what’s the point?”

“I’ll take that as a yes.” He tapped his fingers on the table. “Oral, vaginal, anal?”

“Oral and vaginal, no anal.”

That surprised him. “You’re taking anal play off the table?”

“No, I’m taking analsexoff the table,” she clarified. “Anal play is fine.”

“I’m confused.”

She sighed. “Have you ever been fucked in the ass?”

His lips twitched. “I can’t say that I have, no.”

“Well, when you repeatedly drive something into the rectum—say, a dick—and that dick goes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth in a fucking motion, a great deal of air can get trapped in there.”

He coughed to cover a laugh. “Is that so?”

“And eventually, it has to come out.”

He had to pause for a moment to make sure he could speak. “You’re saying anal sex makes you fart.”

“Like a dog who eats nothing but raw broccoli and baked beans.” She sighed forlornly. “It sucks, because I really do love butt sex.”

He gave up trying not to laugh.

“What?” she demanded as he shook with mirth. “It’s awful.”

“I believe you.” He cleared his throat. “Top three erogenous zones.”

She blinked. “Aside from or including genitals?”

“Aside from. Exclude breasts, too.”

She chewed her bottom lip thoughtfully. “This is off the top of my head, and I reserve the right to revise this list.”

He ignored her mouth and the urge to bite it. “Understood.”

“My tentative answer is upper back, neck, and thighs.”

He filed that information away. “Top three things you hate that aren’t hard limits?”

“I’m not telling you that.”

“Why not?”

“Because any time a Dom says ‘tell me what you hate’, it’s guaranteed he’s gonna do it.”

“If you won’t tell me, I’ll be forced to discover it on my own.”

She scowled at him, then huffed out a breath. “Fine. I hate tickling, having my teeth licked, and having my ears nibbled.”

He blinked. “Having yourteethlicked?”
