Chapter 10

Grace focused on her meals and tried to disregard the way in which her physique reacted to his phrases. Her decrease half pulsed with anticipation. It had no situation leaping headfirst into this association with Alexander.

And that’s what it was: an association. He was agreeing to be her Dom, not her boyfriend. It wouldn’t be the identical sort of relationship she’d had with Kurt. She knew that. Which was why there was a little bit voice behind her mind asking if she was actually positive she needed to do that. That voice, nevertheless, wasn’t very loud and it was simply overtaken by her must open up and let go of every thing she’d been coping with for the final 9 months.

Her ideas drifted again to the night time earlier than when she’d been draped throughout his lap, feeling his hand make contact together with her bottom. The sting had been gone when she’d woken up that morning and he or she’d missed it. Grace questioned how lengthy she’d have to attend earlier than he would do it once more. Or she may ask. Possibly…

“How’s your dinner?”

She regarded as much as discover him looking at her. “It’s good.” As if to show her level, she took a chew and grinned.

He waited for a number of seconds. “Grace, if one thing’s bothering you, you could inform me.”

“No. It’s… I used to be occupied with final night time.” She felt the blush begin to rise on her cheeks. “On the sofa.”

“Ah.” Alexander chuckled. “Sure. I can see why that may have you ever distracted.”

His response under no circumstances helped together with her blush. She tucked her head down and dug again into her meals.

In fact, he wouldn’t change the topic to one thing extra mundane just like the climate. She ought to have identified higher. He was a Dom in any case. “I’d prefer to take you to the membership with me this weekend.”

She swallowed and met his gaze. Wasn’t it too quickly for that? “You do?”

He nodded. “I believe it will likely be a superb means for me to gauge the place we must always start. Plus, I believe it will likely be good so that you can be round different subs.”

That made sense. She and Kurt had identified one another for over a 12 months earlier than they’d began taking part in they usually’d completed a number of experimenting at first to see what they each preferred. This was a unique scenario completely. “I assume that’s most likely a good suggestion. I must apologize to Justin anyway.”

“Sure, you do.” He took one other chew. “Operating away isn’t the reply. What’s going to occur the subsequent time you see somebody on the membership ?”

Grace had a tough time swallowing down the meals she’d been chewing. She hadn’t thought of that. “I don’t know.”

“It’s best to know that as your Dom, I gained’t allow you to run away once more. Being a sub isn’t one thing you must ever be ashamed of.”

“I do know.” She laid her fork down on her plate. “I simply don’t know find out how to react. Kurt and I primarily performed in our home, and the few occasions we did go to golf equipment, we didn’t know anybody else there.”

Alexander appeared to take that in however didn’t remark. At the very least not instantly. He waited till their server cleared their plates and introduced dessert. “Did you might have any questions for me?”

She thought of all of the issues she may ask him. “How lengthy have you ever been within the way of life?”

He appeared happy. “I began experimenting in med faculty.”

Part of her didn’t wish to ask the subsequent query for some purpose. The reply didn’t actually matter, however one thing compelled her to ask it anyway. “What number of subs have you ever had?”

“What number of have I performed with or what number of have I had a relationship or settlement with?” he requested.

“Um… each?” She knew how not sure she sounded.

He picked up a bit of baklava earlier than answering. “I’ve performed with twelve girls through the years, solely two of whom I’ve had any type of formal association with.”

That wasn’t so many. Not if he’d been within the way of life for ten years and was single. In fact, he’d additionally been within the army, which meant deployments.

Her silence will need to have been so much louder than she thought. “Does that appear like so much?”

Grace shook her head. “No, I suppose not.”

He moved on. “I wish to speak to you a little bit about my expectations.”

“Okay.” Rapidly the baklava tasted very dry in her throat as she tried to swallow.
