need you to be absolutely sure."
"You said it was consensual. I wouldn't have to do anything I didn't want to, and if I remember correctly, there are safe words we could use."
"I think you know more than you're letting on." I arched a brow at her, but I was impressed by her openness. I was surprised she had the courage to press the matter.
"I may have researched the subject a couple of times."
"You're right about safe words. They are set up to protect not only your physical boundaries, but your emotional limits as well. I would push your limits, but only to show you how much pleasure you could gain. I couldn't do this 24/7 either. We'd have to come up with some sort of agreement, since we live under the same roof." Are we really entertaining this?
"Weekends?" She shrugged. "Maybe we could try it out?"
I smiled and gently kissed her lips. "Yes, I think weekends would work perfectly."
She settled into my chest. I twirled her sweet-smelling hair around my fingers, and we spent the next few hours discussing our new arrangement. We decided our playtime would begin on Fridays at seven and would last until Sundays at noon.
During that time, she was to submit to me fully and willingly. This would include giving in to me whenever I wanted to play. I didn't want her to clean my house or cook for me, since I already had people to do that. She would respect my decisions and trust I knew what was best for her. She would obey my every command, unless I was pushing her too hard, then she would use the safe word and the scene would stop, and we would discuss her fears and reservations. I wanted her to understand a BDSM lifestyle wasn't about humiliating or hurting her.
I realized right away she would be different from my previous subs, because I already had feelings for her. I wasn't sure how deeply they ran, but I wanted her on a different level, not just sexually. This was going to be a learning experience for both of us. We'd have to take things slowly and see where we ended up.
I also requested she go on some method of birth control, because it would make our time together that much easier.
I donated blood to the office drive two times a year, and could provide her with a clean medical bill. She said she'd do the same for me. It also turned out she was already on the pill, due to irregular periods, so we could start our new arrangement next Friday.
It's going to be a long week.
Chapter Three
Just as I'd predicted, the week moved at a snail's pace. To make matters worse, I had an extremely demanding work schedule. I stayed late most evenings, which was probably a good thing. I thought it best for us not to be together physically until Friday evening. It gave me time to prepare mentally for what was to come. I wanted this to work, but I also wanted to build a relationship with Clara outside of our roles. Am I expecting too much? Probably.
I knew, from traveling in the BDSM circles, that a Dom could indeed form a romantic relationship with his sub, but that usually happened after they'd met through their mutual set-up. I'd already moved Clara into my house and expressed interest in her. I decided I had no power over what was to come and I should just let things play out. Problem was, I wasn't a very patient man, and needed control over the outcome.
Friday evening, at two minutes to seven, I paced my bedroom floor. I had to get it together and focus. She'd be nervous, and I had to show her I was capable of being her Dom. I was bursting with anticipation over the fact that I was finally going to have her in my bed. So many things to show her—but we'd have plenty of time for that.
Tonight was about me exploring her body, familiarizing myself with what she liked, and learning how she responded to me.
I quickly changed into a pair of black silk pajama bottoms and nothing else. As I was finishing up, I heard a soft knock at the door. She was on time. I wondered if she was as eager as I was.
"You may enter."
She slowly
