“It’s definitely good.The hot men might be getting the customers into the bakery, but everyone who comes in seems happy with the food, so hopefully, they’ll be back.”
“And you know we will.”He grinned at her.He was definitely going to have to encourage the others to stop by even more.Maybe they could make a schedule.
“I’m okay with that.”She lifted the mug to her lips, her eyes glowing as she blew across the hot top and then took a delicate sip.The happy sigh that left her lips as she lowered the mug did all sorts of interesting things to his libido.
Mason took a sip of his own tea before clearing his throat.Might as well get straight to it.
“Well.Let’s talk.Is there anything specific you want to try tonight?”
His imagination was already running wild.
ChapterThirty-One
Audrey
Talking kink over tea.Not something she would have expected, but somehow it made sense.The only problem was, she had no idea what she wanted to try.Things that would feel good and lead to orgasms.
“Um… I’m not sure.I wouldn’t know where to start.”She felt the heat fill her cheeks and told herself it was from the tea.
“If you don’t mind picking up your mug, I can show you some things I’ve laid out,” Mason said, getting to his feet.He picked up his mug with one hand while gesturing behind her with his other.Audrey swiveled on her barstool and turned around.Past the kitchen table was an opening to the next room, which appeared to be a dining room.
It wasn’t until she got closer that she realized the dining room table was covered in a variety of… things.
“Oh…” The word released on an exhalation, making it sound almost like a sigh.The blush in her cheeks burned even hotter as she looked at everything, and she clutched her mug in front of her chest because she didn’t have any pearls handy to grab onto.“Oh, my.”
“You don’t have to try any of these.”Mason moved in beside her, igniting all of her senses by his mere presence.The whole side of her body he was standing on felt like it flared to life.“But I wanted you to see the options.”
“That’s a lot of options.”Which was such a ridiculous thing to say, but her brain felt like it had stopped working.
What did she want?
What did she dare?
Releasing the mug, she reached down to touch one of the… floggers?She was guessing that’s what it was.It was made up of multiple long strands of leather that came together in a wrapped handle, and when she touched the leather, it was buttery soft.
“Flogger,” Mason murmured, shifting closer to her, so they were almost touching.She swore she could feel the heat of him through her clothes.It was so distracting that it took her a moment to realize she’d guessed correctly on the implement’s name.
“This… hurts?”It was so soft.
Mason chuckled.
“Not that one so much.Though it depends on how it’s swung.Which is true for everything.That is a very light flogger.”He picked it up and held it gently in his grip.“Can I show you, on your arm?”
Her arm.Not sexy, but also a lot less scary.
Nodding, Audrey held out her arm.
The leather falls rose and fell, and whapped against her skin.It didn’t hurt, just as he’d promised.There was impact, but it wasn’t painful.
“It didn’t hurt!”In fact, it had felt kind of good.Her skin tingled where it had landed.Immediately, she wanted to try it on other parts of her body.No wonder people liked getting their butts beat with this.Not just their butts, either.
Mason chuckled.“There are heavier ones, some have knots in them or chain braided in.”
Ouch.Okay, a chain sounded like it would hurt.
“Can we try this one to start with?”she asked, reaching up to stroke the soft leather strands.The chain didn’t seem like beginner level.But just imagining what this would feel like against her bare skin that wasn’t her arm… yes, please.
“Yes.Do you want me to suggest a few things, then you can tell me yes or no?”
