Suddenly his eyes went distant, and he yanked his hand away and cleared his throat. “My apologies, Mistress. I shouldn’t have touched you without your permission.”
“It’s fine,” she said quickly, still reeling from the way he’d looked at her with such tenderness and then turned it off at will. It made her lose her appetite . . . both for food and the game they were playing. “You know, why don’t we just pack up the rest of this food and—”
“No!” Julian snapped.
She jerked back then narrowed her eyes. “Why? You don’t want this anymore. As much as you can read people, I can read you, too, Julian.”
“You’re wrong,” he said. “I want this. I want you. I want you to eat your fill of food off my body, Skylar, but without using chopsticks. And then I want to eat you. Will you let me?”

Iwant you to eat your fill of food off my body, Skylar, but without using chopsticks. And then I want to eat you. Will you let me?
With Julian’s words reverberating in her ears, Skylar stared down at him.
Say no. Protect yourself.
But she couldn’t do it.
She shuffled a few steps away from him. “Julian, stand up. Please.”
“But—”
Quickly, she gathered up the rest of the sushi on his body and tossed it into the delivery bag they’d come in. Then she tugged on his hand until he sat up and stood. Looking up at him, she said, “I want your mouth on me. And I’ll let you go down on me. But on two conditions.”
He frowned, obviously not liking that idea.
She forced herself to smile and tease, “Oh, come on. You’re my sex slave remember? I shouldn’t even be negotiating with you. But I’m going easy on you. To get what you want, you just need to do two little things for me.”
“What two little things?” he said cautiously.
“First, you accept that no matter what you do to me, I won’t come, and you won’t try to make me. Not tonight.”
If she’d thought he’d been displeased before, he looked outraged now. “Skylar—”
“That’s the first condition, Julian. Take it or leave it.”
The seconds ticked by, neither one of them speaking until Skylar couldn’t take the silence anymore.
“Julian, what we did in the strip club, it was one of the most pleasurable things I’ve ever experienced. Because I was with you, connecting with you, but it was also because my inability to orgasm wasn’t hanging like an albatross around my neck. I was just enjoying myself. Enjoying taking but also enjoying giving. I want more of that.”
He remained silent for a few seconds longer, then said, “I agree to your first condition.”
She wanted to smile, but she didn’t because her second condition might even be harder for him to agree to.
“Wonderful. Now my second condition is that for as long as we’re touching one another tonight, you don’t retreat from me.”
He looked confused. “I never retreated.”
“You did, Julian. Emotionally. Right before you apologized for touching me.”
Understanding flashed across his face. She expected him to deny it but was grateful when he didn’t.
“I get it,” she said. “I fight it, too. This connection we have. Most of the time, I’m scared of getting too close. But we both know it will soon be time to walk away from each other. Before that happens, I’ll take everything you’re willing to give me, but I want it from you, the you who doesn’t fear I’ll expect things from you that you don’t want to give me. I know what this is, Julian, and so do you. Let us have everything before we go back to having nothing. Let me—”
Her words were cut off when Julian kissed her.
