I bite my lip. “That shouldn’t be an issue though.”
“It just means you’ll have a lot of curious about and may not know what your limits are until you’re in the moment.” Wyatt takes a bite of his bacon.
“Which means your safe word is going to be the most important thing we need to know.” Dante draws my attention. He’s mostly been quiet, listening. “There are other methods to stop, pause, or ensure you’re doing good. But a safe word brings everything to an end.”
Finn nods. “The stoplight method. Red means stop. Yellow means pause. That can be for anything, from something is uncomfortable and you need to change positions. Or you need to pause to go to the bathroom. Or you’re okay with the scene but need a break, physically or emotionally. Green means all is good.”
“You need to pick a word that isn’t no or stop as your safe word. Some scenes we play might include you saying no and stop but not meaning it.” Dante winks, and curiosity burns inside me.
I draw in a breath. “Okay, I’ll think about that. But are you going to tell me your kinks? The things you want to do?”
The guys all look at each other.
“If we tell you, it might influence how you answer the questions, pip.” Dante takes my hand in his.
I laugh. “If you don’t tell me, I might put curious about everything.”
“I like restraints.” Finn glances around before focusing on me. “Tying you up. Using a swing. Even a little consensual nonconsent and role-play.”
My panties are wet just thinking about that. I swallow. “So you want me to act like I don’t want it?”
“Within the parameters of the scene, yes.” Finn’s green eyes hold mine. “We would discuss the scene prior. Including what I want to do so that you’re aware of everything beforehand. Until we get to a place where we know each other’s limits.”
I shift in my seat and drink from my mug. The way he held me down that first time in the dining room flows through my mind. My cheeks heat and my pussy pulses in aching need.
“I’m also not afraid to get you naked. To take your panties and make you walk around wet all day without them.” Finn winks.
Drew’s hand slides up my thigh. “I like the idea of watching him take you like that, princess. Of participating. Of watching you come so hard you scream.”
My breath quickens. I turn to Dante. “You?”
His smirk makes me hot. “Oh, I’d participate in that too. But you know I like to give orders. I wouldn’t mind giving you and the others orders and watching you fall in line. I don’t mind playing in public. Making you come with everyone watching and not knowing that’s what’s happening.”
I grab my glass of ice water and take a drink to cool me down. Fuck. Pretty sure I’m into all this. My gaze catches Wyatt’s.
He leans forward on his elbows and captures my full attention. “I’m what’s called a Dom.”
“Like leather and spanking?” I cock an eyebrow.
His lips tip into a little smile. “Like overpowering you and giving orders. Like hair pulling and chasing and pinning you down as I take you.”
My heart beats harder and my breath quickens. Awareness lights along my skin. “You want a submissive.”
His grin makes me squirm. “In a way. You aren’t really built to be a true submissive, trouble. We all know that.”
My heart stops. Does that mean he’s going to tell me no?
“But I don’t want someone to give in to my every demand. I want the challenge. I crave making you submit to me, punishing you when you disobey. But it has to be your decision. You’ll have a safe word to pull us out of whatever we’re doing.”
“Will you always want it like that? Rough, taking?” I wet my suddenly dry lips. Am I crazy to want that too? What if I don’t like it? What if it’s too much for me?
His brown eyes soften. “No, trouble. Sometimes it will just be sex, but it’s part of who I am. If it’s not something you want to try or feel comfortable with, this won’t work for either of us.”
I take a deep breath and look down at my half-eaten food. “Tom knows you like rough sex? That’s why he doesn’t want you with me?”
When I lift my gaze to Wyatt’s, he nods.
“But if I’m okay with it?” My breath catches waiting for his answer.
