“Yes, Sir,” I said, looking back down at the pizza. I could feel my cheeksheat.
I made sure to not let any more sounds come out as I finished most of thepiece.
“You done?” Elijah asked as Kelly got up to tend to her cryingbaby.
“Yes, Sir,” I said. He instantly got up and took care of my plate before I had the chance. Once he’d put the dishes away, he led me back to the living room, where Kaleb and Kelly were sitting on the loveseat. I sat down next to Elijah, who didn’t waste any time to wrap an arm around me. I leaned into him, feeling full andcontent.
“I can’t believe we’ve been friends for almost seven years already,” Kalebsaid.
“If it weren’t for you, Kaleb, I wouldn’t be sitting here. I probably would have been stuck at an easy cop job,” Elijah replied. “But I wouldn’t change it foranything.”
“Me either. I still can’t get over the fact that you two knew each other from the BDSM club,” Kelly said. “And I still want to see you two together sometime,” she leftoff.
“Not gonna happen, sis,” Elijah laughed good naturally. “I think I’m good where Iam.”
“You . . . what?” I asked, confused and shocked, looking between thetwo.
“He helped me learn to have control in a healthier way. He’s a Dom, like myself, and once Kaleb met Kelly, he guided me into how to be one,” Elijah asked. “Does that botheryou?”
“No,” I answeredquickly.
“We don’t share, with anyone, so it’s just a fantasy that won’t ever be fulfilled. I’m more than okay with that, since Kaleb is great at what he does. We do some scenes at the club sometimes, but haven’t for over a year now,” Kelly smiled up atKaleb.
Of course, my face grew warm, and I hid it against Elijah’s arm, making himlaugh.
It wasn’t long afterward the two guests left with their baby, leaving me half asleep as I laid my head in Elijah’s lap. He played with my hair as he turned the TV on to the news. The sun had set a while ago, and I didn’t want to move from this spot, enjoying the quiet of thehouse.
Here, I felt content, and almost safe. It wasn’t something I would ever take forgranted.
