herself out like that. She
didn’t know what to do next.
    He cupped her cheek bringing her face up giving
her no choice but to look at him. “Do you want to be my woman?”
    She nodded her head.
    “And when the three weeks are up?”
    Bernice swallowed past the lump in her throat.
She didn’t want there to be a time limit. “I need you to talk to me, baby. I
don’t want to assume anything. This is what a Dominant and submissive do. They
talk and communicate with each other.”
    She had his full attention, and she didn’t know
how to come out and say what she needed to say.
    “I don’t want there to be a time limit between
us.”
    “Why did you join Kink, Bernie?”
    “Sandra thought it would be a good idea. I told
her about you visiting the library. She said she knew where to find you. I know
it’s against the club policy, and I swear she was only being nice to me.”
Bernice knew her friend had broken several rules by showing her
Leon
.
    Leon
cursed. Bernice bit
her lip. She knew she shouldn’t have said anything.
    “Please, don’t punish Sandra. She was only
helping me.”
    “That’s beside the point. If all the members
were to start gossiping it could affect the club.”
Leon
sat up in the bed.
    She knew she’d ruined the moment. Tears filled
her eyes. She always managed to ruin everything.
    “I’m sorry.” Bernice moved to get out of the
bed.
    Leon
stopped her holding
onto her arm.
    “Where are you going?” he asked.
    “We broke the rules. I thought you wouldn’t
want anything to do with me.” She gazed down at the sheet not able to meet his
eyes.
    He pulled on her to bring her back next to him.
His arms wrapped around her as he settled her in his lap. “I don’t want to be
rid of you.”
    Bernice relaxed against him.
    “I’m going to have to call
Tyler
so he can deal with Sandra.”
    “What will he do to her?” she asked.
    “Punish her. Sandra is currently unattached, so
he or another Dom will dish out her punishment.”
    “What will happen to me?”
    She glanced up at him. “I’ll deal with your
punishment.”
    Neither spoke for several seconds. She wanted
to say something to him. To show or tell him what she felt.
    “I need you to be open with me, Bernie.”
    “Even though it is embarrassing?” she asked.
    “No matter how strange it may be. Tell me.”
    Seeing no other reason to keep her fears to
herself she decided to tell him. “I was fascinated by you when you came to
where I work.”
    “The library.”
    She nodded her head.
    “I told Sandra about you, and one day you came
in while she was waiting to go to lunch with me. She recognised you.” She
tucked some of her hair behind her ear. This was the first time she’d ever been
open with a guy. She really liked
Leon
. There was a connection
between them, and she knew it could go as deeply as being in love, the type of
love that was instant and yet grew over time.
    “I know I shouldn’t assume anything, but I thought
you liked me, too. I noticed you were always staring at me, and I know no one
can read that many books in such a short time.” He chuckled at her comments,
which helped her to relax.
    “Do you want me?” she asked.
    Leon
didn’t answer
straight away. He caressed her cheek, pushing a few strands of her hair behind
her back. “You’ve got such long beautiful hair.”
    Her nerves were growing with every passing
second.
    “You were right. I don’t read that many books.
I went to the library because you were there. I had no idea how to talk to you.
For the most part we didn’t talk. When I saw you at the club I couldn’t
approach you. Kink has rules for a reason. I knew you were a newbie in the
lifestyle.” He ran his hand over his face. Bernice waited for him to finish what
he was saying. Interrupting was not allowed. She’d already fucked up with the
rules. The last thing she needed was to upset him further.
    “I don’t want to train you for another Dom,
Bernie. My intention with all of this is to
