We reach the room and Max opens the door, then I step inside and my eyes widen.
It’s not a room, it’s asuite.
Motioning toward the left of the main living area, he says, “Go make yourself at home and call Mo. I’ll pour us some drinks.”
“Do you have wine in your fancy fridge?”
“I have anything you want, Sutton.” The deepness of his voice pulls my eyes back to him and a shiver travels down my spine.
“Just you,” I say, “and a glass of red.”
His broad shoulders rise and fall on a deep breath and I bite my lip, suddenly desperate to see this man undress. I bite back a giggle and hurry into his room, pulling my phone out of my purse as I kick off my shoes.
Once I’ve opened up my text app, my fingers hover over the keys. What do I even say?
I’ve met someone?
Am I allowed to hook up with other people?
Is this crazy?
I curse under my breath, then type out a text before I lose my nerve.
SUTTON: Sir, I…
I swallow, my throat thick as I contemplate what I’m doing. This is harder than I anticipated.
SUTTON: I’ve met someone. I’d like to…
Shit.
MMM: Speak your mind.
SUTTON: I’m going to sleep with someone
and I don’t know if I’m breaking the rules.
The three dots pop up as he types his response. My heart beats wildly in my chest. Is he going to be mad at me? Break up with me?
Canhe break up with me? How does that work? Would I have to find another Dom?
My heart twists painfully as I consider that option. I don’t want to lose Dominus—
MMM: I want you to enjoy your life. We’ll discuss
what that means for us when you return to the club.
Biting my lip, I stare at the screen. I can’t read his tone through the texts. Is he angry?We’ll discuss what that means… What does thatmean?
“I’d hoped you’d still be dressed” Max says as he strides into the room behind me.
I suck in a breath, then toss my phone into my purse on the small bench at the foot of the bed. “Yeah?” Turning around to face him, I ask, “And why is that?”
He sets the glasses of wine down, then stalks toward me and my pulse skyrockets. “So I can unwrap the present myself.”
I bite into my bottom lip as he stops immediately in front of me.
We stand in silence for a few beats, then he reaches up, cups my face, and leans in for another kiss. This time, his movements are slow, sensual, and each brush of his lips against mine sends tingles spreading outward into my cheeks.
