But something slid through her eyes. Something that looked like fear and he didn’t like that.

“You’re not allowed to be scared of me.”

She lifted her chin. “I’m not.”

“You’re also not allowed to lie to me either,” he spoke firmly. That was non-negotiable.

Her gaze narrowed. That temper of hers lit up.

And he felt alive. Fuck. He felt more alive than he’d felt in years. Maybe since before his pa died.

Part of him wasn’t sure how to feel about that. About her bringing him back to life. The numb was good. The numb had helped him live life after losing everything.

And when it burned away completely, he was slightly worried about what would be left.

But that was a worry for later. Right now, he had a fired-up little subbie to concern himself with.

“Like I said, you seem to have some delusions. Because you don’t get to tell me what I’m allowed to do or not do,” she told him haughtily.

He ran a finger down her cheek. So smooth. Just as he’d suspected. Fuck. So young and innocent.

“No? Because it seems to me like you really need that. Some boundaries. Discipline.”

She wrinkled her nose as though in disgust. However ,he’d seen the interest in her eyes that she couldn’t tamp down.

His Little Princess wanted some discipline, did she?

Well, that he could give her. Easily.

It was the softer side of things he wasn’t so sure of. He couldn’t remember how to let go and have fun. But he’d learn. He’d give her whatever she needed.

She licked her lips as she stared up at him.

“I don’t need discipline,” she stated. Her voice gave her away, though. Soft and breathy. “You can’t talk to me like this.”

He ran his thumb over her wet lower lip. And it took her a long moment before she turned her face away. He could see the way her breathing increased.

She was turned on.

“I can’t? Because you don’t like it? Or because you like it too much?”

“Move away from me.”

He immediately stepped back and she stared at him in shock. “You . . . you let me go.”

He frowned. “Of course I did. Has someone ever not let you go when you asked?”

“I . . . um. No. That’s silly. Loki would kill anyone who touched me against my will.”

Loki again.

He was going to have to do something about him. But he wasn’t sure what since Isa seemed to really care about him.

“I will never force you to do anything you don’t want to do. If I ever make you scared or uncomfortable, you can tell me to back off. You can say the word red if you prefer.”

“You’re giving me a safeword?” She gaped up at him.

“Yes. I am.”
