don’t.”
“You do,” he said. “But you can’t use it to direct me. Not if you want your fantasy fulfilled.”
“But you will follow my script—”
“You need to trust me,” he said. “Once we begin, you should only use the safe word if you can’t take the pain.”
Pain? She took a step back, bumping into the sofa. She’d answered no to pain. Or had she finally settled on the “somewhat interested” checkbox? Hindsight rebuked the fourth bottle of pinot they’d opened while completing the agency’s forms. She’d thought her answers redundant given the script.
Was Jake planning to spank her? She’d tried that once, and although her lover had done exactly as she’d asked, the experience hadn’t lived up to expectations. This fantasy probably wouldn’t, either. Few things did. Yet, held captive by Jake’s gaze, the thought of him spanking her was equal parts titillating and terrifying. “I guess a little pain is okay.”
“Don’t be scared. You have safe words for a reason.”
“I’m not scared.”
“If you say so.” He shifted, and the fabric of his jeans slid across his hips.
A stab of lust raced through her. Despite her apprehension, despite the uncertainty, despite the hint of danger, she wanted this. She wanted his huge hands all over her. She wanted to feel the heat of his body against her, under her, inside her.
But on her terms.
This shouldn’t be so difficult. The situation was a tad risky, sure, but she was an expert at controlling risks, at making quick calls when she had others’ lives in her hands.
Problem was: Tonight she wasn’t the one calling the cues.
Tonight it was her turn to swing on the trapeze—to fly through the air and trust someone else to make sure the set pieces were in place. Her stomach was already taking the plunge, as she said the magic words: “Let’s proceed.”
