don’t you think we need to discuss that a little more in depth? I admitted to you, I had never done that before. I know I come across as a stern, unapproachable boss, but in a personal relationship, I swear to you, this really is new to me. I was frustrated, I was worried, and I was amazed that the idea turned you on so much, all at the same time. I’ll admit, that sweet little ass of yours made me think about it a time or two, but I never actually thought I’d act on it.”
    “Let me put it this way, since we’re being completely open and honest about this. I am impulsive, quick to anger, and have a fiery temper. It goes with the red hair; my dad has always said I’m just like my mother. That day in your office, when I stayed late, I really never gave it a thought even after the chat we’d had about safety. I never thought about the fact Ronnie might be waiting for me. You cared enough about me to point that out to me. I’m impulsive, to say the least. You seem to know when I need to slow down and breathe.  When you told me you were interested in me, after all that had happened that day, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I, like all the other women in the office, had dreamed of being the one to share your bed, the one to get through that steel exterior of yours. To be offered the opportunity to work at a job I love, and be the only one in your personal life, was like a dream come true. I was a little unsure at first, what exactly you were asking of me, but I was intrigued. And when you doled out that first punishment, I knew. There was a need in me I’d never quite been able to put a finger on before. You need to remind me to calm down, to slow down, and to take things in stride. I need someone who can save me from my own worst enemy, myself. I need for you to let me know when I’ve done something wrong. You opened up a whole new avenue for me to vent my frustrations. I know that may sound kinky, it may sound wrong, or weird, but you’re the only man who’s ever been able to get through to me on such an emotional level. If you’re not comfortable with continuing in a domestic discipline situation after we’re married, then we really need to come up with another solution. I need boundaries, Jarrod. I need stability in my life. I know that now.”
    “So, you’re really okay with that lifestyle?”
    “I am. You’ve shown me so much love and so much romance in the short time we’ve been together. You gave me a lot to think about that first day, and that night at dinner. When I agreed to try this dating the boss thing, you took the time to get to know the real me; it wasn’t just about sex. I knew then, you really cared about me. You weren’t just looking for a hot office tryst. And you seem to know me so well already. You somehow know what I want, even before I do, most of the time.”
    “You really want me to take control, then?”
    “I never in a million years thought I’d say this to a man, given my independent nature, but yes, I do. And you do it so well, I might add,” she replied with a grin.
    He chuckled. “As long as you’re okay with it, I’m okay with it. But here are my terms. We go into this with the understanding that we will only do what both of us feel comfortable with. I’ve told you, I am not into the whole Dom/sub scene. I may come across as stern and dominant in the office, but that’s only one side to my personality. In my personal life, I’m not that man. I can be, if you need me to be, but you’ve also seen the softer, more romantic side of me. I want to be everything for you, Jill. I want to be what you need, when you need it. I want to be the man you can’t live without. Can you accept my terms?”
    She looked him in the eye and said simply, “I can.”
    “Then we’re on our way,” he replied with a sexy grin.
    “Now, finish your dinner. We have wedding plans to attend to,” she said as she took a sip of wine.
    After they discussed plans for a secluded,
