Her face is tense again. Those wheels in her head are turning hard, coming up with terms that will benefit her. “I want to practice my techniques in your casinos.”
Is she fucking kidding me? “No. You’ve already walked away with a hundred G’s. I’m not letting you take any more of my money.”
“I don’t want to take your money. I just want to do it for practice to help me master my craft. Trust me. I won’t keep any of the winnings. I don’t want to add to the debt I have with you.”
I’m not keen on that one. I want her to be here mastering a different kind of craft. “I’ll have to think about it. Any other conditions?”
“I don’t want my friends or family to ever find out what I am to you or what we’re doing. I need you to play the part for them.”
“Playing the part includes what exactly?”
“You’ll pretend to be my doting boyfriend in front of Nana, Dad, Adam, my best friend, Avery, and any other family or friends of mine.”
That one makes me laugh loudly. “I don’t do the boyfriend thing.”
“I’m aware, but I need you to pretend to do the boyfriend thing. I would be so ashamed if my father and brother knew what you were doing to me behind closed doors.”
Conrad and Adam love Emma Lia. I’m certain that they wouldn’t be happy at all about our Dom-sub relationship. “I have a killer poker face. I can pull that one off. Anything else?”
“Anal is still off of the table.”
“Anal was never off of the table, baby.”
“I don’t want to do it.”
“I don’t want tonotdo it.”
She shakes her head. “You can forget it. I’m not doing that.”
And I’m not bending on that one, but I don’t want to scare her off. “We shouldn’t set any hard rules about it right now. Our relationship is too new for that.” I’m leaving it at that. “Anything else?”
“We agreed to start slowly with the Dom stuff. Give me time to ease into the role of submissive. Does that agreement still stand?”
“Yes. If that’s what you want.” I just hope like fuck that I have time to ease into it. This entire conversation is null if she lucks out and pulls that key sooner rather than later.
“I was completely misled by Claudia. I’m not sure that I understand what you do and don’t want. I’ll need you to clarify those things.”
“Absolutely.” She doesn’t have to worry about that. I’m going to be giving her clear orders.
“Will it always be Dom-sub? Or will you want it to be vanilla sometimes?”
Going into it last night, I thought that the vanilla sex would fall flat. But I actually enjoyed it with Emma Lia. I sort of fucking loved it. Which shocks the shit out of me.
Do I think that I could take a trained submissive and have plain missionary sex? No fucking way. But I would be okay with doing vanilla again with Emma Lia if I were in the mood for it. “I don’t know. I might want vanilla again sometime.”
“What if I want vanilla?”
She needs to get one thing straight right now. “Subs don’t get what they want unless it’s what I want.”
“What if I asked for a night like last night?”
Hmm… I normally wouldn’t consider a submissive’s request, but I do see a way to play this to my advantage. “If you asked me for vanilla, I would give it to you, but there’d be no key pull in exchange for it.”
“You said that I could pull a key every time Ipleasedyou.”
“True, but giving you vanilla would be more to please you than me. It isn’t worthy of a key pull that could clear your entire debt.”
Every time she pulls a key, the odds shift in her favor. Despite my longing to fuck her morning, noon, and night, I must be very selective with how often she pulls a key if I want to keep her around for long.
