That’s earlier than I thought.

Got my ass beat, talked to people, and came home. :)

Did you have fun?

Ooooh yeah. Going to be black and blue tomorrow. I will sleep sooo good tonight.

Another pause, so long she almost put the phone down to go take her shower.

I guess you’re going to have to show me how to do that so I can help out.

Her heart pounded, racing.

Really?

Are there training wheels or something for whips and paddles? :)

Now she really wanted to cry again, but good tears.

We’ll go slow. I promise.

Yeah, since I haven’t had sex in over two years, slow is good.

How about we spend next weekend together. Not kinky, just…us?

Another pause, but she’d sat on the edge of her bed, hopeful.

How about I pick you up Friday night, we go to dinner, and then go back to my place? I like your dad but I’ll be nervous enough. I don’t need him knocking on your door and asking how we’re doing.

That sounds like a damn good plan, Sir.

I have one on occasion. :) I’ll let you get to sleep. Good night, sweetie.

She smiled.

Good night, Sir.

Now she could get her shower.

Thenshe could wear out a vibrator.

Axel lay back in his hotel bed and knew he wouldn’t be able to peel the smile off his face. Earlier that week, he’d talked to Eliza on the phone, asking for her confidence and confessing everything that was going on.

And his fear.

She had done a lot to reassure him that not only were his feelings normal, but that he’d done the right thing to let Skye play this weekend. That if things were ever to hit the next level between them, trust had to flow both ways. Since he didn’t even know if he’d ever be able to be the sadist that Skye seemed to need, he was smart to let someone else do that for now.

Not to mention he was better off getting used to it now.

And that they were right to try to figure out the BDSM stuff sooner rather than later. That trying to force it would nuke them.

He could have been talking to Skye, the words they said were so similar, and he said just that.

Eliza had laughed. “Dude, this isn’t rocket science. It really isn’t. But when ‘domly Doms’ try to assert their egos, that’s usually what fucks things up. Be real, be honest, and be yourself. And remember that most people who first get into the lifestyle usually feel some level of pants-shitting fear, especially coming into it later in life like you are. She’s got two decades of this, buddy. So do most of us you know. You don’t have to know everything at once, and I’m pretty sure Skye won’t expect you to, based on what you’ve said.”

“I don’t want to screw this up with her.”
