into heavy BDSM, he could admit that he liked having control in the bedroom.
Laura didn’t know how to answer Clay. From what she had read, she was intrigued about BDSM. She just hoped this wasn’t a hard line for him and a breaking point for them. She had to tell him the truth. It was not something that she could hide if they ever got to the intimate stage, so she just blurted it out. “I don’t know too much about it, just what I’ve read. To be honest, I’ve never thought about it in relation to myself personally.” She still kept her eyes looking at the table as she answered him. She didn’t want to see any disappointment in Clay’s face.
Clay reached out and gently tilted her chin up. “I’m glad you’re honest. Anything else we can deal with. I must admit that I do like the control that comes with BDSM and have dabbled in it in the past. Like I told Angel, it is safe, sane, and consensual. If you don’t consent, nothing happens. We both have to be on the same page for it to work.”
Laura was trying to get her mind around what Clay was telling her. Did he mean that if they didn’t agree on BDSM, that they could never have an intimate relationship? If so, she should know right now. She knew it wouldn’t take her long to fall for him and if there was no chance, it was better to know now.
Lifting her chin from Clay’s grasp and taking her courage in hand Laura, asked him, “Are you telling me that the only way we can be together is with BDSM?” Laura bit her lip, waiting for Clay’s response. She knew that he was too good to be true and her eyes started to water up. Laura started to gather her purse, ready to leave, when Clay didn’t answer her right back.
Clay, who had been thinking of how to reply to her question without scaring her off, grabbed her elbow as she started to rise from the table. “Hold on there, Laura, you didn’t give me time to reply. Remember I said that we could deal with anything as long as we were honest with each other? Well, I’m going to be blunt. I do like some aspects of BDSM. I would like to explain in more detail to you, but this is not the place to do that. I can and do vanilla relationships all the time. How we want this relationship to work is totally up to us. I just hope that you will give me the chance to explain and also to keep an open mind. I really would like to continue with what we have started.”
Laura sat back down. She was ashamed of herself. She was doing exactly what she hated other people doing. She was making a snap judgment on something she really knew nothing about. Shamefully she looked at Clay. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions that fast. I also would like to continue to see you. And when the time is right, learn more about BDSM. Can you forgive me?”
Clay, who had felt his heart drop when he saw her get ready to leave, took a breath and blew it out. “That’s all that I ask. All you have to do is listen and there is nothing to forgive. After Angel’s narrative of what the other room holds, it’s no wonder that you got spooked. We’ll talk about it later.”
Just then, they both heard a loud commotion coming from the front entrance. Clay stood up, ready to find out what was happening. Remembering Laura, he asked her to stay where she was until he could come back and get her. Clay hurried away after she nodded her head. Laura knew he was on some kind of job, so he knew she would understand his hurry.
Chapter Seven
Laura could hear a woman screaming from the hall. Clay was having words with the two men holding the doors open. Another tall, blond, Viking-looking man came from the front entrance and joined Clay in the doorway.
The Viking put his hands on his hips and look atthe concerned people, watching the door. “No need to worry folks. We have everything under control. Please continue to enjoy your evening. I will keep you updated, if there is anything for you to worry about.”Both men went through the
