or painful.
I’ll show you my playroom along with my toys. It’s up to you what you decide.”

Jesse agreed. Every time she read something on line or saw
couples at the club she’d found her arousal intensify. Jake talked to her about
the lifestyle but he never played it out with her. He wouldn’t be her Dom as he
only agreed to give her pleasure. She finished her meal, except for some
potatoes. Her stomach was in knots staring across the table at him.
Several women kept looking their way admiring him. She
wanted to claw their eyes out. Ryan was her man. He ordered a chocolate
cheesecake for desert with extra cream. Across the table he fed her from his
fork. She leaned in close keeping her eyes on his lips as he ate the desert
himself.
Ryan would be her Dom. Damn, she’d
have to phone her family to explain her no appearance at Sunday lunch.
“Will I be able to phone my parents tomorrow? I always have
lunch with them on Sunday but I’d like to spend the day with you.”
“Okay, I’ll be there in case your father wants to talk to
me.”
He finished up the cheesecake, giving her the last forkful.
She waited peacefully while he handled the bill. The waiter smiled at her.
Jesse didn’t smile back or say anything to him. Her attention was on the man
who’d captured her heart.
Freezing in her seat, she watched Ryan sign his name.
Captured her heart? What did that mean?
“Are you ready to leave?” he asked.
They left the restaurant together. A wrap or coat was
unnecessary against the heat of the summer night. She sat beside him in the car
while he drove toward her home.
“Why are we stopping here?” she asked, staring up at her
home.
“I’ll drop you off to work on Monday. You’ll need clothes
for tomorrow and work. Come on, I’ll help you pack.” He parked the car and
climbed out before she even opened her door. She followed him up to the front
door. Ryan took the keys from her.
Fingers shaking, she breezed past him to go to her room.
Love? Was she in love with Ryan? No
answer met her inner question, not that she was expecting any.
One week couldn’t determine her feelings. Shaking her head,
she opened the wardrobe door, grabbing her office suit, a pair of flat shoes
along with a dress for tomorrow. Staring at the bag of new underwear she
settled on a blue satin pair then some shoes to go with it. Ryan leaned against
the doorframe watching her.
“I can see the outline of your thong,” he said. She looked
up to see his dark gaze piercing her.
“Do you want me to change?”
“Don’t even think about it. Tonight I get to undress you and
I intend to remove that thong with my teeth.”
He offered her a hand. Grabbing the case, she placed her
palm against his. Ryan took her luggage and together they walked downstairs,
once outside she locked up her front door. She left one light on to detract
burglars.
Seated in his car minutes later, Ryan drove her out of the
city.
“Where are we going?” she asked.
“I’m taking you to my country house. My penthouse suite is
too formal where I arrange all my business meetings. Our day together has to be
where I’m most comfortable. You’re not business, you’re total pleasure.” He
squeezed her hand before navigating traffic.
She expected something garish and scary for his country
home. When he pulled up beside the house, she was surprised by how modest it
looked. They were surrounded by conifer trees, which helped to hide the main
building from passers-by.
“I got this place for a bargain over five years ago,” he
said, climbing out of the car.
“Do you live here all the time?”
“Yes. When it’s really late I stay at my penthouse apartment
but I try to get back here most times. Some nights I don’t want to drive to
far. Come on, I’ll show you around.” He opened the front door.
The scent of lavender hit her straight away.
“Do you have a lot of gardens?” she asked.
“No, I got this place for the lack of
