“Quite the opposite.”Dylan slid his fingers through my hair before tucking the long strands behind my ear.“We were actually getting ready to ask if you’d like us to teach you submission…until you slammed up your walls and locked us out.”
They want to… train me?
My heart sputtered.
I clenched my jaw to keep from gaping.
“What are you hiding from us?”Nick asked.
I opened my mouth to answer him, but nothing came out.
“We can’t take you on the journey until we know what makes you tick,” Dylan explained.“And the only way we can figure that out is by communicating.Surely, that was covered in the books and articles you’ve read, correct?”
I nodded.
It had been driven home, like a spike…in everything I read.Trust, honesty, and communication were the cornerstones of a good, healthy BDSM relationship.Yet, I hadn’t been honest for fear they’d reject me.I hadn’t trusted them enough to share my secrets.
“I’m honored you wanted to train me.I’m sorry—”
“Want, not wanted…if you’ll let us,” Nick corrected.
“Will you?”Dylan arched a brow.
“Yes, I-I’d like that a lot.”
“Good.The first thing we need you to do is knock down your walls and let us in.Can you do that?”Dylan asked, holding me with a hopeful stare.
“I’ll try.I’m scared.”
“Of us?”Nick asked.
“No.Of screwing up.There’s still a lot I don’t know or completely understand.”
“We don’t expect perfection, little one, just the willingness to learn and to grow—”
“And to be completely honest with us,” Dylan interrupted.“About everything…your joys, sorrow, and fears.Understood?”
“Yes, but I need to tell you, I have a lot of fears.”
“We know.But if you let us, we’ll help you work through them,” Dylan assured.
“Which means we first have to earn your trust,” Nick added.“We’ll never hurt you, or take advantage of the power you give us, Savannah.You have our word.”
“A minute ago, you were so angry with me.Why?”
“It wasn’t anger, little one, it was frustration.We keep trying to find ways to see inside your soul, but you keep opening and closing yourself like a clam,” Nick explained.“We’ll never force your submission.We can only take what you’re willing to give us.You understand that dynamic, right?”
Suddenly, I realized the mixed signals I’d been sending them.“Yes.I do.”
“Good.”Dylan smiled and cupped my hand before helping me off the couch.“Come on, let’s get you tucked into bed.Tomorrow morning, we’ll start your training.”
Butterflies dipped and swirled in my stomach as Nick slid an arm around my waist before they guided me to my room.Pausing at the side of the bed, Nick released the sash of my robe as Dylan skimmed the silky fabric off my shoulders.I sucked in a gasp and gripped the ebbing fabric before it exposed my breasts.
“Let go, little one.You’re perfectly safe,” Nick whispered as he gently clasped my wrist and lifted my hand away.“We’re simply tucking you in.Nothing else.”
The robe fell away on a gentle sigh, and I fought the urge to cover myself with my hands.Nick leaned over and pulled the sheets down, then patted the mattress.With a timid nod, I settled in the middle of the big bed.As Nick drew the covers up, Dylan crawled over me and lay atop the blanket next to the wall.I turned and stared at him with wide, curious eyes.He simply smiled as Nick settled on top of the covers behind me.
“Sleep, kitten.We’ll keep you safe,” Dylan whispered.
