“You would want to control me when I was with them?”

I was getting to this, but it hadn’t fully manifested in my thoughts yet. “I could see it going that way, I guess.”

“Sounds fun.”

My eyebrows go up. “You’re joking.”

“I’m serious.”

“What would they think?” I nod my head towards the door.

Star shrugs. “I don’t think they’d agree every time we’re together, but they’d play along. Declan would definitely play along.”

She’s right. Declan would play along. He’s very easy going.

“He might even let you control him too,” Star adds. “Every once in a while.”

Which puts an intriguing spin on things. Controlling a couple? Now that’s not something you get a chance to do every day. “I hadn’t considered that,” I admit.

“Well, you should. But before we can get to the specifics of our future relationship—” she pats the bed again. “We need to figure out our present one.”

It’s gonna happen. I know it now. I’m gonna fuck her, and we’re gonna figure out the next step, that’s a given. But the future, as enthralling as it might be, is still the future. So she’s right. We need to stay in the present. “Your safe word is Aric.”

“Aric?” she laughs.

“Because I’ll know that you’re asking him to come save you.”

She nods. “OK. Aric is my safety net.”

I reach up and begin unknotting my tie. Star is watching me with a smile, but doesn’t say anything. I throw the tie on the bed and point to it. “Don’t touch it.”

She giggles a little. “Yes, sir.”

I shake my head at her.

“Too soon?” she asks.

“Much too soon.”

“Sorry.”

“It’s OK. You’ll learn.” I take off my suit coat and begin unbuttoning my shirt. Her eyes track my fingers all the way down to my stomach. As I’m taking the shirt off, her eyes dart to my cock. “Up here,” I say, my voice stern.

She looks up at me. “What?”

“Eyes,” I say. “They stay on mine one-hundred percent of the time.”

“If you don’t like ‘Yes, sir’ then how should I respond to that command?”

“You don’t. You simply do what I tell you. There’s a lot to learn here, Star. So for now, just keep quiet as much as possible.”

She presses her lips together, nodding.

Which pleases me. Some women will actually say something back to this. Which is stupid since I just basically told them to shut up. When they do this, it almost never works out. So Starhas promise. She has a dominant side to her, for sure. She didn’t wilt under my pressure earlier. She snapped back. I like that too, just not during sex. During sex, the only sounds I want to hear are moaning and squealing. Sometimes, I let them beg for things. But it’s a reward that needs to be earned.

The shirt now off, I unbuckle my belt. I wait for Star to slip up and look down at my hands, but she doesn’t. Her eyes stay locked on mine. Even when I pop the button on the pants and pull the zipper down, she’s committed to my command.

But she does break when I pull the cock out. It’s already hard. Her submission did that. And she can’t help herself. Her eyes dart down and I catch her licking her lips as she gets her fist look at what I have to offer.
