“I’m not sure if I’d use the word ‘wrong,’ but I do believe we might have a miscommunication on some important topics. I intend to make sure we’re on the same page today, one way or the other.”
“What does that mean? Are you breaking up with me?” she spilled out, unable to hold in her biggest fear.
His handsome face softened for the first time, helping to take the edge off her stress. “No, I’m not breaking up with you, Presley. I love you and I think I showed you just how much last night.”
The mention of their super-hot sex before bed helped her relax further, so when he added, “But I’m afraid you may want to break up with me by the end of the day,” it was like a punch to her gut.
“I don’t understand. I would never in a million years want to break up with you,” she asserted vehemently.
“Hold that thought,” he said before adding, “Let’s eat first. We can talk after.”
“No! You can’t say something like that and then expect me to just eat like nothing’s wrong.”
Caleb sighed, finally throwing his cloth napkin onto the table and pushing to his feet.
She had no clue where he was going, but she stood and followed him into the great room where he sat at one end of the couch facing the fireplace.
“Sit.”
Presley was more than happy to collapse onto the cushion a few feet away from him as her knees had started to wobble.
He was so serious it frightened her. Her mind raced for something to say, but Caleb filled the void.
“I have an important question for you.”
A few days ago, those words would have excited her with the possibility of Caleb asking her to marry him, yet today she knew without a doubt this wasn’t a proposal.
“Okay…”
“When we met, you started calling me Daddy really early, do you remember why?”
“Well, sure… but I thought you liked it?” Was that what this was about? He didn’t like her using that term of endearment?
“I do… I mean, I did until recently. Now I’m not so sure,” he said.
She hated the lump that formed in her throat as she felt the threat of tears coming on.
“I don’t know what to say to that,” she answered truthfully.
“You don’t have to say anything… yet, but I do want you to tell me what me being your Daddy means to you.”
“It means the world!” she blurted.
“I didn’t ask that right,” he paused before continuing. “What is your definition of a good Daddy? What is it you want from me in this relationship?”
“What are you talking about? You’ve been exactly what I wanted!”
“Even Friday night at Black Light?”
So that shitty day wasn’t behind them after all.
She let the spark of anger she felt at him for how that night had gone down seep into her voice. “That’s what this is about? I still don’t understand why you got mad at me for doing what you always told me I should do when I wanted to stop a scene.”
“I’m not mad that you used your safeword, Presley. I’m mad that we made it six months into this relationship without you understanding just how serious I was when we agreed that as your Daddy Dom, I would be setting the rules and there would be consequences when those rules were broken.”
“Consequences, yes. I understood that, but what does that have to do with playing at Black Light?”
Caleb released a long sigh, raking his fingers through his thick hair before answering. “That’s the root of the problem. I wasn’t playing Friday night. You broke not one but many rules while I was away and had earned a punishment.”
