Something soft moves across her expression. “Really?”

“Really.” I brush my thumb over her cheek. “Next time, I’ll get in.”

She smiles.

“And tonight, you’re sleeping in my bed.”

Her brows shoot up. “I am?”

“Yes.”

“For aftercare?”

“For sleep.”

She studies me suspiciously.

“Only sleep?”

I smile. “I didn’t say that.”

She laughs.

I step back enough to look at her properly.

“Color?”

“Green.”

“Do you still want to learn about impact play?”

Her eyes flick toward the cabinet.

Then back to me.

“Yes.”

“And if something is bothering you?”

“I tell you.”

“When?”

“As soon as I can.”

“Good.”

I point to the floor between us.

“Kneel.”

This time, she does.

Her knees settle onto the floor between us, her mouth still softened from my kiss and her eyes lifted willingly to mine.

“Your form is excellent.”

Her shoulders are drawn, posture perfect, thighs spread.
