said dryly.
    “How much experience do you have? No skirting the issue here, honesty is extremely important.”
    “Other than going to the fet nights you’re so fond of, not much. I’ve been flogged, paddled, spanked, bound, gagged, the usual. I had a boyfriend who introduced me to the lifestyle, but it was pretty much just a game to him. It ended up not working out between us.” She casually took another bite of pie.
    The idea of her with another Dominant unsettled him. “Did he treat you badly? Abuse you?” He would kill him.
    She frowned, shaking her head. “Oh no, nothing like that. He liked to switch and I wasn’t into it so he found someone who was.”
    “True compatibility with dominance and submission is sometimes difficult to find, which is why negotiation is so important. You need to know upfront what kind of relationship this will be if you decide to say yes.” He pushed his plate away and eased back into the worn vinyl booth. “I’m not looking for a girlfriend. I’m not looking for love. What I want is a mutually satisfying arrangement. Two people meeting one another’s needs. Nothing more than that. No messy emotional entanglements. No sappy sentiments. Strictly dominance and submission.”
    “I guess it’s a good thing I’m not a sappy girl then. Does this arrangement include sex?” she asked without batting an eyelash.
    “I’m going to very much enjoy fucking you.”
    “You won’t be the only one enjoying it I hope.”
    She was such a breath of fresh air. He was so used to timid subs that Genevieve was something of a novelty to him. Granted, she was a handful in need of some training, but he was going to relish every minute of it. “I won’t lie to you. You won’t always enjoy the things I do to you. Are there any hard limits I need to know about?”
    She chewed on her bottom lip, her expression pensive. Good, she was taking his question seriously. Subs with no limits, or who spit out standard answers, always worried him. Genevieve was a smart girl. He expected no less than a well-thought-out, if acerbic, response.
    “No drugs, animals, dead bodies, broken bones, guns or knives. No bodily fluids that belong in a toilet either. I’m also not a fan of public humiliation or pet play. Oh, and I have absolutely no interest in adult baby stuff, that’s just ick. Other than that I’m pretty open.”
    He laughed. “I think I can work with that. I’ll want you to be tested. Nothing against you, of course, just a precaution. I’ll get you a copy of my latest results next week. Not to sound like a complete chauvinist, but if you’re willing, I’d prefer you to take oral contraceptives instead of using condoms.”
    “Don’t worry. I get it. I’m already on the Pill. And I’m not offended you expect me to be tested. You can’t be too careful these days.”
    “I also have one more request,” he said as the image of Danielle’s frail, broken body in that hospital bed flashed through his mind. “I’d like you to add me as an emergency contact with your physician.”
    She gave him a puzzled look. “Okay.”
    He knew it was a strange thing to ask, but he’d rather have that safeguard in place just in case. He didn’t want a repeat of what happened eight years ago. The mere idea of it nearly made him sick to his stomach. He was glad she hadn’t asked him to elaborate. He wasn’t prepared to explain himself at this point.
    They stared at one another for an awkward moment, the air between them heavy with the weight of their possible future.
    “Look, you don’t have to decide right now. Take the week to think it over. If you do this, I’ll expect you to be fully committed to our arrangement. If you decide it’s not for you, no hard feelings.” He wanted her to say yes, probably much more than he should have.
