said Sam.
    Dan smiled wryly. ‘In a nutshell.’
    ‘I know how hard it is to imagine yourself doing these things,’
said Sam. ‘But when you’re there, in the moment, and he’s made you feel desired
and safe, and you’re all turned on and ready to go, it’s not such a big leap to
go from doing one thing, to doing another.’
    ‘I hope so,’ said Cady.
     ‘And everything is completely confidential,’ said Sam. ‘Nobody
who’s involved in your scene will discuss it with anyone else, or even with
you, unless you raise it first.’
    She nodded. ‘I’d hope not. Can I ask you something else?’
    ‘Sure,’ said Sam.
    ‘I was wondering why you don’t refer to Dan as ‘Sir’, or ‘Master’,’
said Cady.
    ‘It’s just not the way we do it,’ said Sam. ‘In the bedroom, or at
The Hideaway, or anywhere where we’re doing a scene or being intimate, I do
call him those things. But outside of that, I use his name. Obviously, other
Doms and subs do things differently, but this is what works for us.’
    They chatted on through the delicious taco and salad lunch Dan
prepared, and on through the afternoon. When Cady called Jake to pick her up,
somehow they found themselves talking on with their hosts through a dazzling
sunset, and far into the evening.

Chapter 4
     
    It had taken an eternity for her bloodwork to come through from
the doctor, and in the meantime Cady had kept her nerve by reading smutty
novels, but not bringing herself any release. By the following Thursday, her
libido was on a hair trigger.
    After she’d mentioned The Hideaway for the umpteenth time that
evening, Jake put his wine glass down on the end table, and rubbed the back of
her neck. ‘I’m not pressuring you, sweetie. If you don’t want to do this, don’t
feel that you have to. I’m very happy with us as we are.’
    ‘But you’d like to do more,’ she said.
    ‘I would, but only if you would.’
    ‘I want to.’ She took The Hideaway’s checklist out of her pocket.
    He smiled, and sat up straighter. ‘All right, let’s see it.’
    She summoned her courage, and pressed it into his hands. But
didn’t let go.
    He pried her fingers open. ‘C’mon, now. Don’t make me spank you.’
He winked at her. ‘Unless that’s what you want.’
    He scanned the list. Like Dan, his eyebrows rose, and he grinned. ‘Okay,
so that is what you want. And quite a few other things besides.’
    ‘Maybe not all at once,’ she qualified.
    ‘Maybe not,’ he agreed, affably. ‘Do you think you could submit to
me, Cady?’
    ‘Yes, Sir.’
    He smiled, and laced their fingers together. ‘I love how willing
you are to refer to me that way. And I appreciate how brave and honest you’ve
been on this form. I know it’s not always easy. Give me a few days, and I’ll
get everything ready for you.’
    ‘Thanks, Jake.’
    He wrapped his arms around her. ‘Thank you , sweetheart.
I’ll do my best to reward your trust in me.’
    ‘I know you will.’ She paused, summoning her nerve. ‘And Jake?’
    ‘Mmm hmm.’
    ‘Don’t be too nice.’
    He laughed. ‘Meaning what, exactly?’
    ‘Well… In the books, the Doms are always stern and tough, and I
don’t want you to be afraid to be that way with me. I think I’d like it, or at
least, I want to try it and see. So long as you aren’t a jerk about it. Because
then I’ll kick you in the nuts, checklist or no checklist.’
    He laughed again. ‘Understood. However,’ he added, standing up, ‘kicking
me will be a challenge when you’re restrained and penetrated, while a slick
anal probe measures your responses, so you won’t be able to hide how turned on
you are.’
    She let out a small noise. ‘When did you say you’d be ready to do
this?
    He laughed. ‘Let’s say Monday night. It’ll be quiet at The
Hideaway then, and I’ll have had a chance to order in a few things we’ll need.’
    She moaned. ‘That’s so far away.’
    ‘Suffering, are we?’
    ‘Yes. I’ve been reading a
