“Don’t tempt fate, Maggie,” he warned. No way was he turning her delectable ass over to another Dom for a beating. David wasn’t a possessive man, but from the moment he’d seen her as a submissive, he’d wanted her in his cuffs. “If I’m the one you’re turning to, I’ll make sure you want for nothing. Go out with your friends somewhere else.”
“I’m just looking for someone to spank me.”
“And you walked into my office and offered me the position.” He held her tighter. “Yield to me, Maggie mine.” For long moments, she kept herself stiff. “You don’t have to fight me on every issue.”
“I don’t want us to move too fast.”
“We’re not. We’re simply outlining where the boundaries are.”
Maggie remained where she was without pulling away, and that spoke volumes to him. That she continued to stay instead of choosing to go home when he suggested they light a fire in the outdoor pit as the sun set, spoke even louder.
“Sounds nice,” she said.
“I’ll get you one of my flannel shirts. And a refill on the wine?” He didn’t let his subs drink much, but over the course of the day, she’d hadn’t even consumed a full glass.
“No, thanks.”
He got her the shirt, and she rolled up the sleeves to her elbows. She only fastened the top button. Somehow, in his clothing, she looked smaller and more vulnerable. Something about Maggie made him want to wrap her up and protect her, fight her battles, see to her safety.
They went outside and she sat on a bench, knees pulled to her chest as she watched him place the wood and ignite it.
She scooted over and he sat next to her as the fire settled in.
“What about you?” she asked. “Why are you single?”
“I was married once. I accept the responsibility for the failure. I didn’t give her the time she needed or deserved.” He looked at Maggie intently. “I’ve learnt from my mistakes. Anything worth having is worth investing in. It doesn’t mean it’s easy, and it doesn’t mean it won’t take work.”
She didn’t respond, and neither of them seemed to have a need to break the silence. He enjoyed her companionship. For a long time after his divorce, he’d enjoyed his solitude. Now that Maggie was with him, he didn’t want to let her go.
“We didn’t have sex earlier,” she said much later, turning to face him.
The dim light made it difficult to read her expression, but her unspoken meaning was clear.
“I mean, after we left your basement.”
“I’ve been acting like a gentleman and giving you time to recover.”
“Would you quit that?” she asked.
“You’d rather I act like a Neanderthal?”
“Yes, please.” She grinned.
“A woman after my heart.” He stood and offered his hand, accepting her unspoken invitation. “I’ve wanted to fuck you up the ass all day.”
Chapter Eight
No matter what Maggie was expecting David to say, he almost always shocked her. She didn’t have a lot of experience with anal sex. Plugs, yes. But an actual dick—an enormous one at that—not so much. The realisation he intended to pound her made her feel submissive and feminine.
She slid her hand against his and revelled in his raw, masculine strength as he pulled her to her feet. It was a wonder, really, that he possessed all that power, but used the perfect amount to arouse her without crossing the line.
Maggie had no idea how long he’d flogged her earlier. Once the first blow had landed on her body, she’d surrendered to him. No. That wasn’t the truth. From the moment she’d arrived, she’d given him all her trust.
He’d taken exquisite care of her, giving her what she’d wanted and bringing her back when she was so lost that pain and pleasure merged into indistinguishable bliss.
She wondered what would happen if she extended that trust to other areas of their relationship as he seemed to want, both at work and in private. Doing so would mean she’d be more exposed emotionally, open to being hurt.
Since her father had died when she was so young and her mother had her own issues to deal with, Maggie had learnt to rely on herself. Her other relationships had offered her little incentive to modify that behaviour. She was so set in her ways that she wasn’t sure it was possible to change. It surprised her that she was even considering it.
