“Sadie,” Jamie said with a sigh, taking my hand in his. “Are you developing deeper feelings for this man?”
I couldn’t meet his eyes, knowing if I did, the truth would be unavoidable. And I wanted to avoid it like the plague.
“No. I do not have feelings for him. It’s purely physical. It’s just more than I’ve ever had, even with Bex,” I admitted quietly.
“So, are you wanting to take him on as a submissive?”
“I don’t know. I already have three submissives.”
“But we both know that Christopher and Thomas are both part time.”
“Yeah, I know. I think Jester will stay on, but Thomas has been talking with another Dominant for a few months now. I am preparing for our contract to end soon.”
“How do you feel about that?”
“Honestly, ecstatic. Thomas deserves it. He’s falling for the new guy pretty hard, and I’m thrilled for him. It’s been a joy training him, but he has needs I cannot meet.”
“Relationship needs, you mean.”
“Yes, romantic needs in particular.”
“And what about things with Thatcher? Are there romantic feelings there?”
“Of course not!” I scoffed at his words.
“Don’t be so quick to deny it, Sadie. There’s obviously something there between the two of you. Why are you holding back?”
“I don’t have romantic feelings for him, Jamie. I don’t even know him.”
“Oh, please, Sadie. You aren’t demisexual. You don’t need to know everything about someone to have romantic feelings for them.” He laughed.
“But I need to know more than I do, to have feelings like that,” I argued.
“Then why don’t you find out?”
“Because…” I trailed off, realizing as I spoke that I didn’t have a good reason. Every one that popped into my head died on the tip of my tongue, invalid and unfounded.
“You don’t have a reason, do you?” My eyes found his, the knowing look on his face making me feel even worse. He was right. I didn’t have a reason.
“So, what am I supposed to do?” I asked, dropping my head into my hands.
“You talk to him, Sadie. This all comes down to communication. Be honest with yourself and then be honest with him. If you want him to be your submissive, then talk to him. If you also want to date him, then talk to him! It’s pretty simple.”
“Nothing about this is simple, Jamie.” I grumbled, looking back at my almost annoyingly supportive spouse.
“Only because you are holding yourself back. You are your own worst enemy, my love.”
“So, I go talk to him. I’ll make time to do that.” I spoke more to myself than to Jamie, bolstering a confidence I horrendously lacked.
“Do it now.”
“What?”
“You heard me. Do it now. Go talk to him right now while you’re thinking about it. Otherwise, you’ll talk yourself out of it.”
“No, I won’t, Jamie.”
“Sadie, I know you better than that.” He wrapped his arm around me, pulling me into his side and kissing the top of my head. “You will absolutely talk yourself out of it. So go change, and march your pert little ass over to his house and talk to the man. You deserve it. You both do.”
