I swallowed the embarrassment threatening to consume me.“How…how did you know I’d been looking it up?”

Fox shrugged.“Your laptop is synced to mine. I knew you weren’tsleeping when I looked in on you last night, and when I checked your browsing history this morning, I saw what you’d been researching.”

“Oh.”I didn’t understand what any ofthatmeant, but it didn’tmatter. Fox knew what I’d been looking at.

“Ask your questions, baby girl,”Fox said firmly, his copper eyes filledwith reassurance.

Despite the million questions I had about sex and kinks, the onequestionthathad plagued me more than anything fell from my mouth.“Who wasthatwoman?”

“Lily. I was sleeping with her, but I broke things off with her weeksbefore I met you.”

“Why…erm…did she come here last night?”I asked, curious as towhy she’d turned up if Fox had ended things with her.

Fox scowled.“She developed feelings for me. Feelings I didn’treturn. She thought by turning up last nightthatthings would start up again between us.”

A rush of sympathy shot through me for Lily,eventhough I didn’tknow her. I knew how easy it was to develop feelings for Fox, and I could only imagine how much it would hurt if he didn’t return those feelings.

“Oh,”I replied dumbly, looking down at my lap.

Warm fingers tipped my chin up so I was looking into Fox’s beautifuleyes.“The thing with Lily wasthatI only had a sexual connection with her. No matter how hard she tried, she didn’t fulfill my other needs.”

Did I?

I cursed myself for being so foolish despite the spark of hopethatgrew roots in my belly from the way Fox was staring at me.

“Do you like to tie women up and whip them?”I blurted the otherquestionthathad played on my mind since seeing the website about Daddy Doms, along with pictures of whipsthatlooked like they would hurt.

I wasn’t sure I’d like to be tied up and whipped.

Fox chuckled.“Like I said, baby girl, what turns some people on doesnothing for others. Whips and floggers aren’t my thing. Tying someone up though,”he paused, a mischievous grin creeping over his lips.“Don’t dismiss it until you’ve tried it.”

Why did the thought of Fox tying me to a bed and being completely athis mercy do funny things to me?

“There’s a lot more to being someone’s Daddy thanjustsex though,baby girl.”

“Like what?”I asked, fascinated to hear this coming from Fox ratherthan a random article being read to me by a robot.

He was right, I should have spoken to him in the first place. And withhow open he was talking about it all made me feel more relaxed about asking questions.

“For me, I get pleasure out of looking after the woman I’m with.Taking care of them, making them feel safe, and giving them pleasure turns me on. I never experienced those things with Lily. In fact, I’ve never experienced them with anyone. Until you.”Fox said unabashedly.

My breath caught in my throat, my heart refusing to beat for asecond.

Until you.

“You take care of me,”I whispered, not daring to blink for fearthatif Idid, I’d snap back to reality because thishadto be a dream.

“I do, and I enjoy taking care of you.”

“You make me feel safe,”I said, still not tearing my gaze from him.

A small smile crossed his mouth, pride shining in his eyes. His handresting on my hip slid to the top of my thigh, and my heart began to race, especially when I felt something twitch underneath my ass.

When his gaze dropped to my lips like it had done so many timesover the last two weeks, I was powerless to be anything but honest.

“I imagined calling you Daddy,”I breathed, sinking my teeth into mybottom lip when his hand gripped my thigh.

Did he likethat? Did he like hearing me call him Daddy?
