remained mostly silent on the drive home. It wasn’t until Andy pulled into her driveway and parked that she looked at him and asked the question that had muscled its way to the top of her list of topics to discuss.
    “What do you want from me?” As soon as she said the words, she realized it was waaaaaay too soon to be discussing such things, but the mama-bear instinct to protect had kicked in.
    He looked at her and blinked. “Excuse me?”
    He seemed stunned by the implication of her question, but Blaze was too caught up in her own dismayed thoughts for his reaction to sink in. In the past hour, she had worked herself into a near panic at the thought that all he wanted was an occasional play session, whether in the club or not. Though she had only known him for a handful of hours over the past days, her heart had made its declaration that it wanted this man, and for more than just an occasional play scene.
    “What do you want from me? Maybe I should word it, what part am I going to play in your life? Fuck buddy when you have an itch to scratch? Kitten to your Master when you want to play at the club? Friend with benefits? Or something else? I need to know so I wear the right panties.”
    Blaze stopped breathing as the man in the driver’s seat blinked again. This time his expression went completely blank. Dom blank. Oh fuck , she’d done it this time. No doubt he would throw her out of his truck and call Taurus and demand she be tossed out of Club Esoteria, too.
    Well, if so, she would deal with it. But in order to deal with anything, she needed to know how sand-filled the ground was she stood upon.
    “Breathe, Blaze,” he ordered softly.
    She took a breath then flinched when he reached across the space between them, expecting to be slapped out of her seat. Instead of physically reprimanding her for being such a bitch, he cupped her cheek in his palm.
    She dropped her gaze, not able to focus on anything until a movement behind his zipper caught her attention. Apparently, her rude sassiness had turned him on. The front of his jeans was inflating with an apparent arousal.
    “My eyes, little one. Look into my eyes,” he said, sounding amused and not offended.
    Reluctantly she raised her eyes to his and was shocked to find they were now amber. Her pussy clenched and dampened in instant response.
    “I know it’s too soon to talk about the long term, but you asked the question. Yes, I see you as my kitten when we play,” he said as his gaze bore deep into hers. “I also see you as a new friend, a beautiful, feisty woman I would like to get to know much, much better, and maybe someday, if we’re both happy with the way things develop between us, even more than that. But for now, you are a wildcat in need of taming to my hand.”
    Blaze’s eyes went wide at his blunt assessment of their situation. He had been able to put into words everything she was feeling but would not have been able to voice if he had asked her.
    “So what now?”
    “We went a long way toward building trust between us this afternoon, but this week we’re going to travel even further down that road. I’m on shift this week, so we won’t be able to play at the club on Friday. Maybe we can meet Saturday night for some fun instead. In the meantime, I want you to think about what you want out of this relationship. Do you want to be my kitten? Do you want to be my fuck buddy? Can you see me as more than just an occasional fuck when you’re horny?”
    Blaze sucked in a breath as he turned her questions back on her. She had not given thought to the possibility that she would have a choice. Usually she just went along with whatever the man she was with dictated.
    “But there is also some training I want to get started,” he continued, his voice dropping to the deep, dark-as-sin, Dom voice. “You don’t need to worry about what panties to wear as you will not wear them from now on, unless it’s absolutely necessary. You will wear bras at work
