friend. “So is what Cole and Jason told me true?”
Lexi’s smile turned mischievous. “That depends on what they told you.”
“Are you really going to make me say it?” Amber asked, though by Lexi’s response, she was pretty sure she already knew the answer.
Lexi cocked her head to the side and shot her a wry look. “Say what?”
Amber couldn’t help but laugh. “You really are a brat, you know that?”
Lexi giggled. “Thank you. I try. But to answer your burning question, yes, Logan and I are in a Dominant/submissive relationship.”
Amber leaned forward and rested her chin on her hand. “Fascinating. You have such a strong personality. I’d never peg you for being subordinate to anyone.”
“Me either.” Lexi shook her head. “Until I met Logan. He’s a man who not only knows what he wants in the bedroom, he also knows how to please a woman.” She lifted her good hand and fanned herself. “He has this way about him that usually makes me want to give him whatever he desires.”
Amber sent Lexi a small nod as she thought about her relationship with Cole. Strange how she felt the same way about him that Lexi did about Logan.
“Lucky bitch,” Brooklyn grumbled.
“You say that now,” Lexi argued, “but I’d bet you’d feel differently the first time your ass was red and sore.”
“I have a solution to that problem,” Brooklyn replied.
Lexi quirked a brow. “What’s that?”
“Stop provoking him.”
“Now what fun would that be?” Lexi countered.
Amber bit her lip as she tried to hide her grin. Jason was right. Lexi had a masochistic streak. “Can I ask you a question?”
“Shoot.” Lexi lifted her coffee for a drink.
“Do you like being a submissive?”
Lexi lowered her cup and leveled her gaze on Amber. “I never thought I would, but I really do. Logan respects me enough to allow me to be my own person and express myself, except when it comes to the bedroom. Then he’s in charge.”
“What about situations like what happened last night?”
Lexi smirked and set her coffee on the table. “We disagree, and we argue. Sometimes I win, and sometimes he does. Sometimes we agree to disagree. I’m not his slave, and he doesn’t make decisions for me. Last night was a spat that we eventually settled.”
“But who won?”
Lexi tilted her head and rolled her eyes skyward. “Let’s just say that on that one we agreed to disagree, but I will admit I did have to apologize for being disrespectful.”
“He made you apologize?” Amber was amazed by the information her friend so freely shared.
Lexi nodded, and a small smile tipped her lips. “Naked and on my knees. I had to give him an oral apology, if you get what I mean. Still…” She shrugged. “Even that wasn’t really a punishment since I enjoyed it nearly as much as he did.”
Amber’s stomach clenched at Lexi’s confession. The image her words conjured was sexy and arousing, and Amber couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to be Cole’s sub. Could she be that way with him if he asked? More so, was it something she really wanted?
Brooklyn shook her head. “Why is it I’m the only one around here not getting any action?”
“You’re not the only one,” Amber added.
“At least you have the promise of sex on your horizon.” Brooklyn leaned back in her chair and tossed her napkin on the plate. “I’m trapped in a desert with no oasis in sight.”
Amber arched her brow; Brooklyn had a good point. Cole had already made it clear he wanted Amber and had left the next move up to her. The question was, did she want to make it?
Chapter Twelve
Dressed in a black, shimmering sports bra and matching shorts, Amber stood behind the entrance and waited for her cue. She pulled at her ponytail, making sure it was tight, then checked her taped wrists. Her music, some girly pop thing they’d assigned to her, began to play, and her attention turned to Emma as she waited for her cue.
“Ready?” Emma
