Again she nodded. This time it wasn’t enough.
“Tell me exactly what it means to you.”
She dropped her head on his chest. “Uuuugggghhhh! I hate talking about this! It’s hard to put my feelings into words.”
He was unyielding. If he couldn’t get her to talk about her feelings, they’d never be able to move past what was holding her back. “Try.”
“Everything was going fine while you were touching me with the different things. It felt good and after a while it turned me on. My whole body became so sensitive. But once you began to touch me…you know…I got nervous and all tangled up in my own thoughts.”
He figured she had a long way to go before she would ever feel comfortable having her pussy touched. She couldn’t even say the word.
Before he could think it through, he said, “I think I might be able to help you with that. But you would have to consent to being hypnotized.”
She began to protest, but he put his finger over her lips. “I promise you that I would never go beyond preset boundaries. We would discuss it first, and you would approve of anything I would have you do.”
“I’ll have to think about it.”
“That’s fine. I don’t expect you to make a decision right away. Take as much time as you like.” She tried to rise, but he held her back. “I would like to take you home and make sure you’re all right.”
“I came with my friend. I think I should go home with her.”
Not what he would have preferred, but he allowed her to get up then handed her her skirt. He packed up his own bag while she put it on, tamping down his own frustration. “Let’s go find your friend. I want to be sure you’re in good hands before I say goodbye.”
He followed her through the busy crowd while she looked for her friend, eventually stopping at the medical play station. Her friend was tied to the exam table, flushed and frantic while her Top was torturing her with a scalpel. Teigen’s shoulders wilted.
“That’s Maria. I guess I’ll wait for her in the bar.”
She turned and took off. Ellison knew the scene was way beyond her comfort level and was a bit annoyed that her friend had left such a newbie alone. She should have known better. No way washeleaving Teigen alone.
He caught up to her as she was about to sit at the bar, totally unaware of the two Doms who eyed her with the look of predators. If they were here at Black Light, they would have been vetted by the club, but he still didn’t like it. A feeling of possessiveness he wasn’t familiar with overcame him.
“Teigen!”
She turned, and he beckoned her to come to him.
Rolling her eyes, she shuffled toward him. “I can look out for myself. I’ve finally learned how to do it, and I don’t need a chaperone while I wait.”
The statement was packed with a lot of information he wanted to know more about, but his priority was getting her to let him take care of her. He was a stickler for making sure any sub he played with was in good shape before he let them go. Teigen was definitely not in good shape. She needed looking after, and if her friend wasn’t in a position to do it, he would.
“I’m sure you’re perfectly capable under normal circumstances, but you’ve just had a troubling scene and as a responsible Dom, I can’t leave you alone. If your friend had been available, I would have allowed you to stay with her, but she’s preoccupied. So, you have two choices: you can let me buy you a drink and sit with you till she’s ready or you can let me take you home.”
“Fine. I’ll let you take me home. I’d really like to get out of here.”
Not the kind of response he’d normally tolerate, but she clearly needed some leeway, and since she was allowing him to escort her home, he decided to be content with that.
After they collected their coats and electronics, Ellison asked Danny to let Maria know he’d taken Teigen home, then led her down the block to where his car was parked. She was silent on the drive to her house except to tell him where to go, and he didn’t intrude on her thoughts. It had been a long night, and she’d need some time to decompress and make sense out of it.
Reluctantly he stopped at her door. He would have liked to go inside and get her tucked into bed, but he knew she wouldn’t allow it and he didn’t want to push her.
“Thank you for seeing me home. I appreciate it…and the scene too, even though I ruined it.”
He cupped her face between his hands, forcing her to look at him. “Granted I like to make subs cry, but for different reasons. You have nothing to be ashamed of. We all come up against triggers during scenes. If you’d let me, I’d like to help you overcome yours.”
She shook her head no. “I don’t think anyone can help me with this” Her breath caught in a half sob, and it was all he could do to stop himself from carrying her inside and comforting her on his lap. Instead, he told her, “We’ll talk about it another time. I want you to go inside and relax. Take a hot bath if you can. Try not to dwell on tonight’s issues. Instead remember how good you felt when I caressed you with the rabbit fur.”
He kissed her gently on the lips then let go. She turned and went into the house. The door closed with a click of finality.
He wasn’t going to allow it to be final. This woman was a challenge, a study in contrasts. On the job, she appeared smart, confident, and capable. Here, even allowing for the fact she was a newbie, she displayed traits of repression, wariness, and uncertainty. It would take some time to unravel her, and he had to confess to himself he wanted to do it. He was grateful he’d have an excuse to see her again. She did have to finish the interview.
