She was right. The contract she'd signed, however vague, will stand to protect us both. There is no need to make her sign another. We could begin.
"Are you ready for your training?"
Chapter 5
Holy shit! Oh. My. God.
What in the world had I gotten myself into? He wanted to start my training? Already? But, was I ready for this? I mean - I thought I could handle it. But could I really? Was I strong enough? Did I care enough to allow him complete control over my body? Did I trust him enough to allow him to possess me and care for me at the same time?
Yes. I did. I truly did. If Jace was anything, he was protective over me. Sometimes overly so. I could only hope his need to keep me safe from all harm followed us into this twisted relationship I'd agreed to. Yes, I had agreed to this I reminded myself.
I felt numb as I looked up at Jace. He looked so damned delicious as he stood against the counter. His arms were folded over his chest, accentuating the muscles of his arms. I let my eyes trail lower to settle onto his stomach. He had washboard abs and golden tan skin. His pants cut off the V of his stomach and my stomach tightened as I thought of the rest of his beautiful body.
My mouth watered and I felt my hands begin to tremble at my body's natural, but oh-so-wrong reaction to him. Jeez, how had I become this woman? How was it possible that I was eager for his possession? I should be down right terrified of it! The idea of any man possessing me should send me running at full speed for the hills. But it wasn't. Instead, I was left with pounding nerves and budding excitement.
"Olivia?' Jace's voice bulldozed my thoughts and my eyes shot up to his face to settle on the source of the sound. His mouth. His full lips were pursed in a thin line as he studied me with blazing blue eyes.
"What?" I squeaked. At the sound of my voice, I felt a blush rise in my cheeks and Jace's stern mouth relaxed into an easy grin.
My heart leapt. "Are you ready to begin, Olivia?"
My heart started hammering in my chest and I laughed out loud. Oh, there was the panic. I was wondering when it would arrive. A little too late, I'd say.
"Ready?" I laughed again and Jace's brows knitted. "Right now?"
He nodded. "When do you propose we begin?"
"Well, I thought there was more to discuss." I was grappling for anything to halt the inevitable.
"Like what?" His eyes narrowed and he shifted against the counter.
"Well," I paused. "What did you mean you had your submissives 24/7?"
"I mean they were available to me 24/7."
"I can't be available to you whenever, Jace." I said in what I hoped was a diplomatic tone. "I have a business to run."
"I'm aware." Jace peeled himself from the counter to lean over the island. His eyes were trained on mine the entire time. "But you will spend your nights here with me."
"Every night?" I felt my chest grow warm. Actually, my entire body grew warm. I wanted to do just that. I wanted to be here every night with him. But I couldn't. I had responsibilities at home.
"Yes." He nodded. "Every night."
"I can't." I whispered.
He frowned. "Why not?"
"I have responsibilities, Jace." I scoffed. "I can't be here every night of the week."
"What responsibilities?"
Oh dear - I could see an argument brewing. "Well, I have Moo-moo to think about here."
His eyes widened. "Your cat?"
"Yes." I nodded. I knew I sounded silly. But I had a feeling I was going to need two nights out of the week for me…to recuperate my strength to come back to Jace for more…sexy submissive time. Or, whatever it was called. Hell if I knew.
"Olivia, you're making excuses."
"No." I shook my head adamantly. "I'm not."
"You are." He growled. A vein in his neck throbbed and I knew he was angry. It was more than apparent I was fighting with someone who rarely if ever, didn't get his way.
"If you're all right with Moo-moo moving in then I will spend every night here." I was playing dirty. I knew it and he knew it.
"You can have two nights a week to yourself." Jace ground the words from between his teeth. I noticed his hands fist, blue veins rising from his stressed skin. "Nothing more."
"Good enough." I smiled. "I'll take Friday and Saturday."
"You'll take Tuesday and Wednesday." Jace countered roughly.
"That's not fair." I pouted.
"Life isn't fair, Olivia."
"Jace," I scolded.
"Olivia." He warned.
I huffed. "How about Wednesday and Thursday?"
"No. Tuesday and Wednesday."
"You're ridiculous." I snapped.
