“Thank you, but why?” I asked, not yet deciding on what todo.
“You were moaning in your sleep,” she replied, blushing, looking down and away from me. I lifted her chin, making her meet my eyes. I wasn’t going to let her talk her way out of this one; I wanted to see how shefelt.
“Hmmm,” I replied, seeing what else she had to say. There wasmore.
“And you were hard . . .” she whispered, glancing up at me through hereyelashes.
“So you just decided to help?” I asked, halfamused.
“Yes, Sir?” she said, more of a question. I could see the worry in hereyes.
“I see,” I said, not giving anything away and keeping my face calm and relaxed. “And what do you expect out ofthat?”
“Um . . . to help you?” she asked, biting her lower lip. I was getting hard again, and she wasn’t even doinganything.
“How do you think you should be dealt with?” I asked, watching as her eyes went wide, part in lust, and part inworry.
“However you see fit, Sir,” she whispered, trying to look down again. I cleared my throat, making her look back atme.
“Well, I’m undecided,” I replied, letting my other hand run down herarm.
I knew she was at that stage where she needed something—anything—from me for her release. I wasn’t sure she knew how to please herself, but she was sure good at pleasing me. I’d been hoping she’d talk to me about this, but she did at least talk to Kelly, who called me on her way home today about Dawn’s fears. I wasn’t surprised in the least; I just didn’t expect Dawn to try while I was soundasleep.
I’d thought I was clear that we’d talk about this next step when she felt ready. Apparently, she wasn’t comfortable enough to talk to me about it, but ready all thesame.
She didn’t need to be punished for taking what she wanted. I could help bring her pleasure, showing her how to do it herself. There were a number ofpossibilities.
“What is it you want me to do?” Iasked.
She looked shocked and confused before acceptance ghosted over hereyes.
“I don’t want to be punished,” she nearly whispered, her voicequivering.
“Then what do you want, my sweet girl?” I asked, running my thumb over her lips, not able to helpmyself.
I knew I was in love with this woman, who had captured my heart as achild.
“I’m not sure . . .” she said. “I justneed. . .”
“You need something like you gave me? An orgasm?” I askedlightly.
She only nodded as her cheeks turnedred.
“I can do that easily,” I said with a smile. “But first, we need totalk.”
“Okay?” she asked,confused.
“What do you want out of our relationship?” Iasked.
“What normal people have,” Dawn answered, her voice quiet and afraid I wouldn’tagree.
“So, like a relationship?” Iasked.
“Yes. I want what Kelly and Kaleb have,” she answered, looking up at me for amoment.
“I see . . .” I trailed off, wondering how to go about this. “How much of what they have do youwant?”
“I want to feel like I belong,” she answered, averting her eyes from mine. “I want to feelnormal.”
