“You remember all the rules?” he says, and I nod my head. He gives me a look that says non-verbal communication isn’t going to fly here, so I promptly answer him.

“Yes, Daddy.” He kisses my temple and we walk into the main room. We decided beforehand that this is where we’re going to stay tonight, baby steps and all that. There’s more people here than there were last time, not that it truly matters.

Once I’m over Aiden’s knee, I won’t care how many people are in the room, that’s part of the excitement for me. That he’ll put me in such a state so even if we’re in a room of fifty people, he’s the only one I can focus on.

We take a seat on one of the long leather loungers, giving us plenty of room for what we have planned. One of the beautiful servers comes to take our drink order and Aiden orders us the same thing we had at the bar earlier.

“This is your last drink and then nothing but water, understand.” I nod, and he kisses me softly before putting a hand around my shoulder and toying with the strap of my dress.

A lot of people are just talking or kissing, except for two couples right across from us, which seems like a swinger’s situation. The two men are kissing each other while the two women are on their laps and kissing each other as well. Everyone looks extremely happy and eager for what the night will bring, and I can’t blame them. I envy people who are that secure that they can enjoy being with other people like that.

I just simply can’t, if someone even looks at Aiden with an overabundance of interest, I might go slightly feral. I make sure to mark my territory by placing my hand provocatively on his thigh.

The waitress comes back with both our drinks and two glasses of water. She places the water on the table next to us and Aiden hands me my drink while he takes his. She gives us a kind smile until she’s wandering around and asking anyone else if they need anything. I only take a single sip before I look up and an attractive couple is standing before us.

Aiden stills slightly next to me, and I catch on fast. He’s interacted with them at the club before in a way I don’t want to know about.

“Aiden, you brought a guest?” the man says.

“Yes, Leo, Carmen, this is my girlfriend, Jessa.” I love that he throws the girlfriend in there. He doesn’t leave what we are as a mystery to these people, making it known that I’m important.

Remembering my rules, I just give them a tight smile, and Aiden smiles at them too.

“Are you two open to playing?” Leo says.

Fuck the rules.

“No,” I say sharply, and both Leo’s and Carmen’s eyes go wide.

“Oh, I see, that hasn’t been a problem before,” Carmen says, looking at Aiden and giving her husband a shitty look.

“Things have changed with my personal situation. I’ll only be coming here with Jessa and will only be intimate with her while I’m at Avalon.”

Hell yeah, you tell him.I rub his thigh more—more like marking him as mine—and Carmen tracks the motion. I’m not really sure what the expression is on her face. It doesn’t read as jealousy, but it feels like longing.

“Are you sure?” Leo asks, and I’m about to stand up and punch this tool in the dick.

I’m sure Aiden was about to answer, and I already broke the rule once,so fuck it.

“Daddy said no,” I say with authority. I swear Carmen’s eyes are nearly out of her eye sockets as she glances between Aiden and me.

Leo looks at me and then his wife. “Didn’t know that was your thing, Carlson,” Leo says, digging fun at Aiden. I wanted to punch him earlier, but now I want to murder him and toss him in the ocean.

Aiden doesn’t rise to the bait. Just raises an eyebrow and glares at Leo. “I think we’ve both expressed our lack of interest, have some class, Leo.”

The man’s face turns bright red, and he walks away, tugging his wife along.

“What a fucking asshole,” I mumble, and Aiden chuckles.

“Be that as it may, you broke the rules, kitten.”

I mean, he was already planning on spanking me, and I’m usually very good, so I doubt the punishment will be harsh. “What is my punishment?”

“No coming till I say so.” I blink at him and part my lips. That’s not what I was expecting, and I don’t hate it, but I also don’t think I can control my orgasm. He must see all of these thoughts rumbling through my head as he grabs my neck. It’s always a firm enough touch, but it feels endearing when he does it. His lips meet mine and it works that fast, forgetting where we are, that people are going to be watching. I mean, it’s all part of the draw, but it disappears and his touch remains the center of my attention.

But this connection we have is so magnetic and strong, that if I really needed to, I could tune it all out and just focus on how good he feels. How he tastes like whiskey, and his stubble rubs against my chin. Both of his hands are on me, and it makes me feel cherished that I’m the center of his world at this moment.

Aiden makes me feel so many things that sometimes I feel like they’re about to pour out of me in a slur of unintelligible words. But when our lips part and his green eyes glance down at me and he speaks, that’s when I know I’m truly done for.
