That feels like a punch to the gut. Something about Grace has me longing to wrap that caramel hair in my grasp. I want to see how her lips part, how they look with my cock between them. I want to hear all the sounds she’ll make when she comes for me.
The idea of not being able to do any of those things has my hands clenching into tight fists in my lap.
I nod, trying to organize my thoughts.
I've always kept my relationships for short periods, avoiding the possibility of my submissives wanting more from me. They sign a contract and know exactly what they're getting themselves into.
I shouldn't want to have sex with Grace. It will complicate the situation. Make it messy. She'll get attached, and it will be harder for her to leave at the end of the year.
"If that's what you want," I tell her. "We'll keep things professional."
"Yes. That's what I want," she breathes out, but her pupils are dilated, and it feels like she's lying.
"One more thing, though," I add. "You can't be with anyone else. I can't have my wife caught sleeping with other men, understood?" It's not a lie. It would be a scandal for her to be caught with someone else, but it's not the entire reason. A selfish part of me is rearing its ugly head, shoutingif I can't have her, no one can.
She bristles at that, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of pink. "What about you?" she retorts.
"What about me?"
"Are you going to sleep with other women?"
I pause for a moment, assessing her gaze. Why does that bother her?
Leaning forward again, I ask, "Will it upset you to know that I'm out with another woman while my wife is at home refusing to sleep with me?"
"Maybe," she says in a way that sounds more like a yes.
"Would you like me to remain celibate with you?"
She pauses for a long moment, considering my question. I'm expecting her to backtrack, but she doesn't.
"I don't think I want my husband caught sleeping around either…" She twists my words right back at me.
I chuckle. "Okay, Miss Morgan. If you accept my deal, we'll have a sexless marriage for one year."
A year without sex sounds like absolute hell to me. And I have a hard time believing that Grace can go without any physical touch for a year. We'll see how long she lasts before she's begging for exactly that.
