Her One and Only Dom by Tamsin Baker Page B

brightly at the young man who would probably be older
than her. “Yes, I would like the pumpkin risotto and Patrick ...”
    “The steak.”
    He
handed back his menu with an arrogant nod and twist of his wrist and Simone had
to stifle the urge to laugh. Was he always going to be such a baby when he was
thwarted?
    Once
the man had walked away Simone raised her eyebrows expectantly at her lover.
    “I
always make sure my Subs ...” Patrick stopped and cleared his throat while
Simone’s anger went up a few notches. She wasn’t just a fucking Sub!
    She
forced herself to take a deep breath and reached out for his hand. He took it
and she was grateful. They were in a lot of trouble if they couldn’t talk about
this.
    “Patrick,
do you want someone who is your submissive in the bedroom and a normal
girlfriend out of it?”
    He
nodded stiffly and Simone squeezed his hand, feeling older than her partner
despite the twelve year age gap.
    “I
can’t be a 24/7 submissive, Patrick and I don’t think you really want that or
you would have found one already. True?”
    Again
he nodded and picked up his wine, swallowing some of the rich red before
looking at her again.
    “All right, good. Now, you’ll let
me eat whatever I choose, and later on you can control me in any way you want.
Is that okay by you?”
    Patrick’s
blue eyes warmed, lust clouding them in a way that sent a bolt of desire into
Simone’s belly. She may have had to walk him through it, but she had made her
point.
    “Yes,
I can definitely do that.”
    ****
    Patrick took a deep breath and a large swallow of his red wine.
He had better be careful or he would not be playing tonight. He generally had a
no alcohol rule, but he didn’t know what his rules were with Simone. His whole
world had gone topsy-turvy. Last night’s sex had been amazing, even with only a
little bit of kink.
    And again this morning, she blew his mind with her passion and
trust. No vanilla girlfriend had ever made him feel like that and to have a
virgin was a heady thing indeed.
    “Tell me more about why you haven’t dated before, Simone.”
    She smiled and kept his gaze, no fear showing in her eyes. “I
dated Patrick, a few people throughout high school and uni. ”
    Anger and a small amount of fear spread through his belly. She
had lied to him? “You told me you didn’t.”
    She chuckled softly and picked up a piece of garlic bread.
    “I told you I was a virgin, and I was. I have barely let anyone
do more than kiss me. So stop looking at me like that.”
    Throwing in the towel so to speak, amazed at his lack of control
with this woman, he poured more wine into his glass.
    “I think I’m jealous that anyone has touched you.”
    She laughed at that and he felt heat fill his cheeks. That would
teach him for being honest.
    She reached across the table, taking some of the sting out of
her laugh with the squeeze of her hand on his.
    “I didn’t mean to laugh honey, but seriously? You’ve probably
slept with more people than you can count and you’re jealous just because I
kissed a few guys?”
    Patrick smiled, guilty as charged. “Are you telling me I’m being
a hypocrite?”
    She laughed again and ran her nails over the back of his hand.
    “I love that you’re jealous. It means you care.”
    Patrick turned his hand over and gripped her fingers. He
instinctively knew that this was one of those defining moments in a
relationship He’d never been jealous before, hadn’t cared about anyone enough
to be upset when they moved on. This was very different. “I do care Simone. You
are amazing.”
    She drew back and he instantly wanted her hand back in his.
    “So you’ll teach me more about the subby stuff?”
    Patrick laughed, he couldn’t help it. She made it sound so
basic.
    “Yes, I’ll teach you everything. What I need,
how to please me.”
    Her eyes sparked and her mouth flattened into a straight line.
Oh how he was going to love teaching her.
    “And in return I will give you
