right direction.” She kissed his arm and looked at the clock on the nightstand. “Oh, let me just check the DVR.”
“What for?”
She grabbed the remote and flipped screens. “Good. I’m recording this miniseries on the History channel. I can watch it later. I don’t want to miss it.”
“Leave it on. I wanted to see this, too.”
“Are you sure? I’d much rather go for round two with you.” She kissed him hard.
“We need a little break. I want to see you normal and relaxed before I push you to the edge again.” He bit her lower lip then slid his tongue in her mouth.
Moaning, she dropped the remote and pressed closer. Submitting to him was so good it almost scared her. Sliding her hands over his chest, she’d touch him as much as she could until he tied her up again. She didn’t want to act too much like a girlfriend, but that’s how she felt.
Chapter Five
A week and a day later, Scott sat at work and stared at his computer. He’d spent the night at Bridget’s that one Saturday, but not another time since. Being with her was too much like a relationship, and while it felt good, he couldn’t hurt her that way. Other Doms had tried to violate her limits. He wouldn’t break her heart so he’d left after the morning play. He hadn’t even stayed for breakfast. He felt like a jerk, but he hadn’t promised her anything yet.
The past week had been tense. They’d had two meet ups for sex that were amazing and were followed by watching that miniseries on the History Channel and pointless chitchat. Neither of them brought up anything about a relationship or dating. Nothing had changed except he wanted to be near her every second of the day.
Whatever they had was stalled because of him. Even sexually, he hadn’t pushed her beyond what they’d done nor had she disobeyed to make him get creative. Things were stalemated, but neither could give up the play.
He knew it was because she wanted a relationship.
Could she handle a Dom/sub relationship only? He hadn’t asked her that question yet, but it was the natural extension of things. Telling her his limits would ruin everything, and he couldn’t do that yet.
A knock on the door made him hope, but it was Nelson.
“Hi,” Scott said curtly.
“Hi? What? Did she dump you?” Nelson asked.
“No, not exactly, but things are in a lull.”
Nelson folded his arms. “Lull? You have to nudge her within the limits. Keep it interesting.”
“It’s not the sex. I think she wants a relationship.” Scott rubbed his temples.
“You don’t want a relationship with her?” Nelson shook his head. “She’s smart, attractive and into your kink. If I found my woman like that, I’d marry her now.”
Scott’s chest tightened. “It’s not that easy.”
“Dude, one sub left you for another Dom when you were young. I get that. It hurt. But that was years ago. Get over it. Tell her your past crap so she doesn’t think you’re a massive dick. Take it slow, but don’t let her get away.”
“I can’t. It’s not just that.”
Nelson folded his arms and shook his head.
“It’s not. I trust her. If I could give her what she wants, the proper boyfriend and Dom combo, she’d never leave me.” Admitting that almost scared him.
“Told you. I was matchmaker in a previous life. Master Yenta!”
Scott laughed. “You may be that good, but I’m not good enough for her.”
Nelson wagged a finger at his friend. “Lack of confidence in a Dom doesn’t work. Get that crap out of your head. It’s not hot, and it’s not healthy.”
“But the boyfriend can’t be an arrogant ass.” He’d never tried to combine romance with submission except that one sub who’d once been abused. All he’d wanted to do was make her safe, and she’d run off with a guy who would do darker things than her daddy had done to her. He shuddered at the memory of what she’s shared.
“Okay, so tell her you’re having trouble finding the line because you don’t normally
