He couldn’t help but smile at that. And he had to admit, it didn’t jive with her fearing sex when she was submissive. Just like she was learning, so was he, even if it was in frustratingly small steps.
He took the next five minutes to gather his bearings, given she’d blown his mind and sucked him dry, then another ten minutes to gather her clothes and get her dressed and himself pulled together. Finally, he held her close before acknowledging it was time to head out.
He grabbed her coat off the floor and held it out for her to slip her arms into. When it was on, he buttoned it up, then tipped her chin upward with a fingertip and gave her a gentle kiss. He threw his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the club and out onto the streets.
While they were walking, he looked down at her.
She was wearing a satisfied smile.
“It’s late, but do you want to come back to my place tonight?” he said.
She looked confused, as if that was what she was expecting all along, given his promise to “make her come,” so he clarified. “I know it’s not what we planned, but you pretty much drained me dry in there, princess. I’m going to need to recharge my batteries, but I have an early day tomorrow. Or are you going to call in sick again?” Hedidn’tneed to recharge his batteries. He could fuck her right here and now if she wanted. But there was something about what had just happened between them that he was struggling with. Not enough to want to leave her, but enough that he couldn’t chance another intense sexual encounter with her so soon.
“I need to go in early,” she said. “And I don’t have to stay at your place.”
“I know you don’t. But I asked you to. To sweeten the pot, I have five pints of ice cream in all different flavors at my place. Don’t ask why. Let’s go there, cuddle up on the couch and have some ice cream, then climb into my bed and fall asleep in each other’s arms. No sex. No touching naughty places. Just two people who like each other, enjoying ice cream and sleeping.”
“Really? No sex?”
He grinned. “Unless we find a carton of ice cream in my freezer named Sex, then no.”
Skylar looked hesitant, and it suddenly dawned on Julian she was trying to understand what he wasreallyasking her for.
How had they gone from her asking him to force her to orgasm to him acting like a complete pussy?
“Never mind,” he said. “I don’t know what I—”
“Too late. No takebacks,” Skylar said.
Startled, he looked down at her. Part of him still wanted to pull away, but the other part was so happy that she’d agreed to go home with him. “No takebacks, huh? What are you, twelve?”
Skylar laughed. “I think we clearly established back there that I am indeed a grown adult and not twelve years old,” she said.
Julian flinched, but thankfully it was only internally. He slowed his steps, his mind threatening to pull him under and bury him in darkness, but then Skylar metaphorically reached out and gave him a lifeline.
“With all that ice cream, do you have strawberry?”

Thirty minutes later,Julian held out a pint of ice cream to Skylar, who was curled up on his couch. “Strawberry, just as the lady ordered.”
“The entire pint?”
He sat next to her, a pint of rocky road perched on his knee. “Good girls get good things. And lots of it.”
Her mouth was too full of ice cream deliciousness to answer. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. Still holding his ice cream carton, he picked up his phone and checked the screen, then immediately rejected the call and put it back down.
Ten seconds later, the phone started ringing again.
“It’s okay,” she said. “You can answer it.”
He shook his head. “It’s fine. It’ll go to voicemail.”
Was it a client? Was that why he didn’t want to take the call? She appreciated his sensitivity, but at the same time, even the possibility that it was a client had popped the bubble of contentment she’d been feeling.
The phone stopped ringing. Then started ringing again.
She wanted to make a nasty comment about one of his womenneedinghim, but she held back. That wouldn’t be fair. She’d known who and what he was from the very start, and yet, he’d been incredibly kind to her in his own way today.
