“Oh, I’m sure you meant to. It’s front and center in that contract I’ve been trying to get you to read through. The rules are outlined… right before agreeing to let me spank that beautiful ass of yours when you break one of them.” His deep chuckle reassured her, yet the mention of the contract threw her into a whole new level of anxiety.

She was lost in thought for long enough that Lukus had to make sure she was still there. “Hey, did I lose you?”

“No, I’m here.”

“You’re thinking again, aren’t you?” he asked.

“I have a brain. I tend to think from time to time, yes.”

“Sass. You are so full of sass, Miss O’Sullivan. Talk.”

Tiffany hated that even over the phone he could read her like a book. “It’s nothing.”

“One.”

“You know I hate you counting.”

“You know I hate you hiding things from me.”

He patiently waited thirty long seconds, knowing she would eventually cave. She always did. “You mentioned the contract again. I told you Lukus, I don’t want a contract between us.”

“And I told you, baby, it’s not meant to be some binding document. It is just gonna help me understand where your head is at on a few things, that’s all.”

“And I told you, honey, that we don’t need a piece of paper to do that. Just ask me. Talk to me,” she replied.

“This isn’t the time or the place for this conversation. I need to see your eyes. You can’t hide anything from me when I can see your eyes.”

An unladylike snort erupted from Tiffany. “Believe me, you don’t need to see my eyes. Sometimes I think you have secret cameras watching me. It is spooky how you can read me even over the phone.”

“Hey, not a bad idea. Okay, you should almost be here by now. I’ll let Derek know. He’s gonna meet you at the entrance and will park your car for you. I don’t want you walking in the alley alone after dark,” Lukus said.

“It’s barely dark. I’m sure I’ll be fine.”

“Must you argue with me at every turn? Can’t you at least let me pretend I might have a chance at controlling this relationship like the Dom that I am?”

Tiff wanted to be angry, but as always when he got bossy, she knew he was only trying to protect her. It helped her answer without so much as a trace of annoyance. “I’m sorry. I’ll be happy to let Derek park my car.”

“Thank you. Was that so hard?”

“I guess not.”

“Great. You here yet?” he asked.

Oh, no.

“Um, not quite yet. I’ll be there in like ten minutes.”

“You said that ten minutes ago.”

“Well, since I’m not moving, that’s still the plan.”

Silence greeted her until he proved once again he had secret cameras watching her. “You didn’t use your new Bluetooth, did you?” he said eventually.

“Damn. How do you do that? No, I didn’t charge it, okay? I’m sorry. But I did pull over to use my phone instead of calling you while I was driving. That has to count for something.”

“We’ll talk about this when I see you.”

“Talk?”
