quickly followed in an attempt to catch her before the elevator doors opened and she walked out of My life.
I caught up to her, matching her stride before I spoke in a quiet tone, for her ears only. “I don’t date in the traditional sense, either.”
she immediately stopped walking and whirled to face Me. There was fire in her eyes; My quick retort clearly riled her up.
Atta girl, maintain eye contact, it shows respect. Now I had her attention.
“i’m not sure i understand what You mean,” she replied with tight lips and narrowed eyes.
she actually looked annoyed, which I found endearing. she wanted to make Me work for it? Fine. I could be a good sport. The pursuit was always more fun when it was challenging.
“ms. foster, let’s not tiptoe around the obvious—we crossed paths at fetish club. you and I clearly have a lot more in common than we’re letting on here, but I understand your reluctance. I’m intrigued and asking to get to know you.”
she crossed her arms over her chest as if appraising Me, so I continued. “I’m a Dominant Male seeking a submissive female. The dynamics of the relationship are dependent upon the woman I take as My own and our chemistry. I’m very direct in My needs and desires. I also don’t tend to approach My former patients and ask them out on dates. I keep My professional life and personal life separate. This is the first time they’ve ever overlapped.”
micah leaned forward to press the elevator button before briefly turning away from Me.
Goddamnit, would she display some sort of reaction other than indifference? I enjoyed the pursuit but I needed to know if it was worth My time. micah hadn’t given Me any indication she was interested. her body language made it seem as if I were a nuisance. Still, I wouldn’t drop it until I finished what I had to say.
“D/s isn’t an experimental phase for Me. All I’m asking for is an opportunity to get to know you, so we can talk and see if we have similar desires. Will you please grant Me that?”
her shoulders relaxed. Maybe she was warming up to My last statement. I could only assume her indifference was because she thought I was playing games.
her posture straightened, and she had a curious look about her.
It was clear I caught her off guard but, honestly, I wasn’t interested in beating around the bush. I wanted her to know I was genuine and not like the dickheads she had clearly become accustomed to. I’m sure she didn’t know what to think of Me or My offer, but all I needed was for her to say yes, then everything else would work itself out.
she stood before Me, gazing down at her hands while nervously chewing on her lip. she finally spoke, putting Me out of My misery. “i’m not sure what to make of this, but i’ll keep it simple. Can we start with a drink?”
Now we were getting somewhere.
“Yes, we can,” I replied, pulling a business card from a pocket of My lab coat, quickly jotting down My cell phone number. “Here’s My card, ms. foster.”
“Please, call me micah.”
“Okay . . . micah.” My grin couldn’t be stopped, but I didn’t want to appear overeager, so I reined it in. “My direct line is on the front. My cell is on the back. I’m covering shifts this weekend, but I’m off Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week. I’ll be looking forward to your call,” I said, handing her My card before taking My leave.
I glanced over My shoulder; she stood there still biting her lip and staring at the card in her hand. That lip-biting thing was fucking hot. her lips already begged to be kissed, but goddamn, I couldn’t wait to take a bite. I didn’t want to get too excited, but micah was special, I could feel it. My gut had never been wrong about these sorts of things.

Richard?
Richard seemed way too formal. i had overheard at least two doctors address Him as Rick. In any case, i could
