“I probably won’t do that since we’re going to the club tonight.”
“Play, darling. Get all worked up and wet. I want your body to ache for me. But do not come. That’s for me tonight,” he said as he swatted my ass. “I need to go. I love you, and I will see you tonight.”
“I love you, Jacob,” I said as I held the door open for him to leave.
“Remember,” Jacob turned to look and point at me, “no coming.”
I nodded and waved as he got in his truck. I did a few odds and ends around the house until it was time to meet Liz for coffee. I didn’t mention the club until we were waiting for our coffee by the receiving counter.
“Jacob wants us to go to the club tonight,” I said quietly.
“Oh, that’s great! I’ll be there tonight, too!” Liz exclaimed.
“Are you playing with Frank tonight?”
“Yes! I can’t wait for you to meet him. Do you and Jacob have any play scenes in mind? Rope suspension yet?” Liz teased.
“Elise,” Andrew said my name, announcing that my coffee was ready.
I laughed at Liz’s comment about rope suspension as I walked forward to collect my cup. I deposited a few dollars in his tip jar and smiled at him. Soon, Liz and I were seated by the window, chatting about tonight.
“I can’t wait for the night when Jacob suspends you from the ceiling in the main room, Elise.”
“It will be a long wait. You know that I hate all of that pressure in my neck and spine.”
“I do. I’m just teasing you,” she said with a smile and took a sip from her coffee. “So, do you guys have anything planned for tonight?” she probed.
“He mentioned the cross and the cage. But I’m pretty sure the cage was more in a joking way.”
We talked for an hour about tonight, and then after becoming warm and damp, I headed home to get into my sexy corset and reprimand my pillow. The hours until Jacob’s return seemed to go by quickly. By the time he got home, I was aching for him.
“I see you’re all ready to go, darling,” Jacob said when he walked into our bedroom.
I was standing at the vanity, touching up my makeup for tonight, and could feel his eyes on me. Out of my peripheral vision, I could see that he wasn’t moving to start getting ready for our evening out. He was just standing there. I put the lid on my mascara and turned to face him.
Was something wrong?
“Jacob,” I began.
He seemed to shake something off quickly and then crossed the room to me. Jacob leaned down and kissed me. His kiss was deep and reminded me that I belonged to him.
“I’ll be ready in just a few minutes, Elise.”
I hung around our bedroom to be close to him, but also tried to keep my distance so he could get ready. I just had this sneaking suspicion that something was wrong, though. Something just felt off as I watched him move around our room. Clearly, Jacob was distracted.
“Sweetheart, are you sure you want to go to the club tonight?” I asked. “We could stay home and order dinner for delivery. Maybe binge watch something,” I suggested.
“No. We made plans earlier, and I’d like to keep those.”
I left it at that. If Jacob truly didn’t want to do something, he would say so. He has always been honest with me, and I knew that I could take his word for what it was. When we got to the club, we roamed around for a little while and watched a suspension scene in the main room. I had been leaning against Jacob with his arm around me when I heard Liz’s voice.
“Are you sure you two aren’t next with the rope suspension?” she quietly teased.
“Good evening, Liz,” Jacob greeted her with a smile. “Eventually, I’ll have her wrapped in rope dangling from the ceiling.” Jacob winked at me before asking Liz if she had already played with Frank.
“Something came up, and he had to cancel at the last minute.”
I could tell that Liz was disappointed. She really did enjoy Frank, and I knew that she was looking forward to us meeting him this evening. Liz ended up saying goodnight to us, citing that she was going to save her energy for another night when Frank could join her.
