“Was that too much?”

The concern in his tone makes my chest feel warm. “It was a lot, but…”

“Use your words, baby,” he says when I don’t continue.

God, I love when he says that. “It was a lot, but I liked it. I liked it a lot, Sir.”

“Good.” He hums. “Because I liked it, too.”

I smile at his admission and want to ask if he came, too. But I don’t think he did, just like I don’t think he did the other night. There’s a pressure in my chest, one that makes me want to ask him why he’s not touching himself while I’m getting off. Is that a Dom thing or does he not want to?

“You should go eat, and make sure you drink your water. You have seven minutes left on your break.”

“I will,” I say softly, my heart pounding at his care. I should’ve known he was actually timing the rest of my break. I inhale another calming breath and step away from the wall, my legs mostly solidified now. My underwear is ruined, though. Thank god I keep extra sets here, because they’re no longer wearable for the rest of my shift.

“Good girl.” I’m about to hang up when his voice comes through the line. “And Lindsey?”

“Yes?”

“Remember that poker face.” I groan through the phone, and he chuckles. “Did you think I got you this gift for your pleasure?”

“You didn’t?”

“No, baby, it’s for mine.”

I bite my lip, my sensitive clit throbbing.

“Now go. We’ll speak later.”

Checking in with you.

About what?

Fox

Don’t play coy with me.

Me

Since I’m in a good mood, I’ll answer you. I’m good.

Fox

I take it everything with your sub is good, then?

We’ve amended our relationship and contract to include deeper intimacy.
