Out of the Darkness (Untwisted #2) Read Online Free PDF Page A

Twist on the internet, it might make me uncomfortable to ask him, but this was something I needed to broach right away. ‘Um … OK … what exactly is it you like to do?’ I asked nervously.
    With an unembarrassed shrug, Nathan began to explain, ‘I have to lead, I demand complete control and submission, often using bondage. I can be rough –’ he added, glancing briefly at me ‘– and I will administer punishments if my wishes are not followed. I will push you to your limits, Stella, but never against your will.’ I swallowed hard and put my glass down before my trembling hand dropped it. Blimey, was it suddenly warmer in here?
    Rough wouldn’t be a problem, truth be told. Aidan was the only partner I’d had who liked it rough and after being with him I’d realised that I did too, but pushing me to my limits? What the hell did he mean by that? But before I could ask, Nathan met my gaze briefly with his hard blue eyes and continued, ‘I’m not looking for a girlfriend or romance, this would simply be a mutually beneficial agreement between two adults who are looking for some sexual release.’
    I blushed wildly at his brisk assessment of our situation – “adults needing sexual release”  – but at least he was being honest and upfront with me. ‘That sounds … fine.’ Actually, it was pretty much what I’d assumed most dominants did, and exactly what I was looking for. My career was my priority at the moment.
    ‘So what I’m suggesting sounds suitable for your tastes?’ Nathan sounded dubious which for some reason I found quite amusing and a small smile slipped to my lips.
    ‘Yes, like you mentioned earlier, I currently have a job with quite a lot of responsibility so I don’t have time for a standard relationship either. I’m not embarrassed to admit that I like sex though,’ Pushing back my shoulders I straightened my spine hoping I didn’t look as out of my depth as I felt, ‘Seeing as I’m looking for an outlet for my stress, a distraction if you like, I thought that handing over control sexually could be a good solution. That way I get to enjoy myself physically but won’t have to think about decisions until I go back to work the following week.’
    Once again Nathan’s eyes briefly flicked to mine and I watched as his eyebrows rose at my honest response, but after his initial shock, his lips twitched. Apparently he was pleased with my words. ‘And the bondage? You don’t mind being tied up? Controlled? Punished even?’ he asked, running his finger around the rim of his glass, which I suspected was a further way to avoid looking me in the eye. He certainly avoided eye contact a lot, there seemed to be an issue there. Perhaps when I felt braver with him I’d ask him about it.
    ‘We’d need to discuss some limits, but like I said, I’m looking for a distraction from my stress. I think what you’re suggesting could be quite distracting,’ I added feeling ridiculously shy, once again my eyes averted in embarrassment and I felt my cheeks blush for what felt like the thousandth time today. Thank God I’d opted for minimal make-up and wasn’t wearing blusher too.
    ‘I think there is potential for a mutually beneficial agreement here, Stella,’ Nathan concluded firmly, and my heart accelerated in my chest forcefully. ‘I would, however, need your assurance that this would stay discreetly between us. You may not recognise me but I’m fairly well known in the business sector of London so it is imperative to me that my lifestyle choices remain private.’
    Thank goodness. ‘Indeed, privacy goes without saying,’ I agreed quickly. ‘I also want complete privacy in this agreement. I will only be telling my best friend, and I’d rather that no one outside of your most trusted friends know what I do in my free time.’ God, I couldn’t even begin to imagine the chaos that would erupt in my office if my employees found out, let alone my family. A shiver ran through me at
