“Honestly, I didn’t either until she camealong.”
Easton chuckles. “Now that she’s your wife, I guess that means I’ll never get a turn withher?”
He’s the only person in the world that I’d let get away with saying something likethat.
“Hate it for you, fucker. You were never going to get a turn with her whether we got married ornot.”
“What’s the deal with her friend, Avery? Is she single orwhat?”
“She’s very single… and veryvanilla.”
“Is she aware of your D/s relationship with EmmaLia?”
“Sheis.”
“Emma Lia has told her the details about yourrelationship?”
“She tells Avery everything, so I would expect that shehas.”
“What is her take on thelifestyle?”
“I don’t know. You’d have to talk to Emma Lia aboutthat.”
“I wonder…” He pauses a moment. “Avery is a beautiful woman. I wonder if she’d be open to trying the lifestyle withme.”
Claudia was a brand-new submissive when Easton took her, but that’s because Claudia approached him. She wanted to embrace the lifestyle. A relationship with Avery would be different because he’d be approaching her and proposing Dom-subsex.
“Avery might be open to it if you’d be open to tryingvanilla.”
He shakes his head. “Fuckthat.”
Easton probably won’t let me hear the end of it, but I’m going to give him a bit of advice from one Dom to another. “Don’t knock it. Vanilla can be veryenjoyable.”
“You do vanilla with EmmaLia?”
“I do when it’s what she needs from me. Honestly, getting to do it both ways keeps thingsfresh.”
“You and I are the same age, and you’re married now with a baby on the way. I’m suddenly feeling as though I’m very behind inlife.”
“I thought you weren’t interested in marriage andkids.”
“I wasn’t until I saw how happy you were with Emma Lia. And now it’s got me wondering if I could ever share something like that with someone and behappy.”
“I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know that I’ve never been happier than I am right now.” I look over at Emma Lia talking with Avery, and her laughter carries across the room to my ears. Nothing brings me more happiness than her smile and laughter. “I love that woman so fucking much. I would do anything just to see hersmile.”
“I’m going to talk to Emma Lia about Avery and feel out the situation. See if she has made any comments about her thoughts onit.”
“You should. I like Avery. She’s a nicegirl.”
“Fuck, I haven’t been with a nice girl since… ever. I don’t know if I can donice.”
“Nice doesn’t equate to dull. Emma Lia is a nice girl, and she fucks like a savage. But she also makes vanilla one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It’s not something I could do all of the time, but hell… sometimes I want it more than I want D/ssex.
“Are you fucking withme?”
“Dominanceandvanilla. I get the best of both worlds with mygirl.”
“I didn’t know that there was a world that was comparable to the world ofdominance.”
