She bit her lower lip, taking some time to think. I was studying her face, trying to find some clues as to why she was thinking about her answer. Yet, I only found that I desperately needed to know her better.

"I want to give it a try," she replied eventually. "But can you take me as an absolute newbie?" Her hopeful look made my insides quiver. She was again giving me her full trust, and a feeling of pure confidence settled in my chest.

“Of course, princess.” I nodded, and her face lit up. I used her pet name out of habit, and her reaction was priceless. It just wasn’t in my power to resist her. I should be the Dom, yet my sub had me wrapped around her little finger. We hadn’t even started yet, and I was already experiencing feelings of absolute devotion to her. She was right when she told me that I needed her to let me dominate her and take care of her in every way possible.

"Anything else?" Electra was quickly scanning the document with her eyes, which was much thinner than it should be for an exclusive relationship.

"I'm not sure about your safe word." I sighed, and she frowned.

"What’s wrong with it?" she inquired, pressing her lips together.

"Under some circumstances, you will need to use my first name, and it could be hard when it’s a game-ender," I explained, watching her as she tried to understand what I was talking about. "What about the semaphore? Green is go, orange is slow down, and red is stop," I suggested. "It’s the best thing for newbies."

"As you say, sir. You’re the veteran here." She playfully winked at me, noting the word "semaphore." I would have rolled my eyes at her if I didn’t hate it so much.

"Are we going to sign it?" Electra asked eagerly, pointing to the papers, watching my fingers playing with the pen, and I took a steady breath. I made my decision.

I’d always gotten everything I wanted, when I wanted, and from whoever I wanted. And I have wanted her ever since the moment my eyes landed on her gorgeous platinum hair. There was no power in the world that could stop me from making her mine. However, some boundaries were needed, and my common sense was literally screaming at me to be careful. This will be an insane ride for both of us.

"Yes, but only for a month," I stated, and she narrowed her eyes at me.

"Why?" she questioned, fidgeting in her spot. She still had the harness on, and I can’t imagine it wasn’t very comfortable to sit on the silver ring.

"Because we both need to find out if we want this," I clarified, closing the file. "After a month, we’ll sit down and talk about it. Then we’ll decide if we want to continue or part ways."

“Okay.” She reluctantly nodded her agreement. "So, what will happen next?"

"You’ll move in here with me," I stated matter-of-factly, and her eyebrows lifted. "How do you expect to be my girl if you live elsewhere?"

"That will raise questions." She didn’t object; she actually used her brain in the right way. I liked that.

"I’ll take care of it." I waved my hand nonchalantly. "You have two days. The date on the contract will be the day you’ll start living with me."

"Yes, sir." She beamed, and my heart danced in my chest.

“Now, go inside, pick any room on this floor you want, and make yourself comfortable. I’ll join you in ten minutes," I commanded, and she jumped to her feet. With one last glance, she ran through the door, disappearing inside.

Slowly, I walked the distance to the balcony railing, watching the stars in the night sky. I tried to clear my thoughts, but my deepest fears remained. I couldn’t get rid of them. I should go inside and take care of the woman who agreed to be mine. And it wasn’t a problem for me to satisfy her needs. But what if she wants to talk? What if she asks about my past? For me, lying to her was unacceptable.

However, in the past, I did some shady things, and I didn’t want to drag Electra into my own mess. I had to be very careful if I wanted this to work. I had to make sure that my past and present never collided because I knew for sure such a collision would destroy my future.

Electra

Tenminuteswasavery short period of time to choose one room from the many available on the floor. In the end, I just stayed in the bedroom with the biggest bed. Half of my apartment could fit into the walk-in closet, which was full of expensive suits, ties, and shoes. It was probably one of Mr Thorn’s rooms.

I looked around the spacious, luxurious place. Everything was new, modern, and expensive. My heels clicked on the wooden floor when I slowly walked from around, grazing the lines of different furniture with my index finger. The whole room was designed in a dark blue and light brown combination.

I sat down on the edge of the bed. With my hand, I stroked the blue satin bedsheets. I took a few deep breaths. I needed to calm my erratic heartbeat. It was almost unimaginable how excited I was. Mr Thorn had agreed with my demand. He gave me a month to prove myself. I genuinely couldn’t be happier.

After a few fucked-up relationships, I finally found a man who was worth trying for. Even when, at the beginning, it looked like he would kill me with his eyes. If he puts his signature on the contract, he’ll bind himself to me to take care of me in any way. If everything I’d read on the internet about that kind of connection was true, I'd have found myself a protector, lover, and friend.

This wasn’t about love. We were adults, and not many people were ever lucky enough to find love. Our relationship should be built on trust. I was also surprised by how much I trusted Mr Thorn. He had the power to make me believe every word he said. I forgot about everyday problems when I was with him. I let go of every feeling, every worry, and all my attention was on him. I’d felt free with him, and the feeling was amazing.

I’d left the door open, so Mr Thorn would know where I was. He slowly walked in with his hands in his pants pockets. The sleeves on his button-up shirt were rolled up to his elbows, and I could admire his muscular forearms. I’d managed to slow down my heart, but one look into his crystal-blue eyes, and the most vital organ in my body went wild.
