She lowered her voice. “What she doesn’t know won’t hurt you…”
“It would hurt me,” I replied and downed the rest of my soda and lime. “Sorry. Not looking for a date. Have a nice night.”
With that, I went to the back of the restaurant, kissed Mrs. O’Riley on the cheek. “Thanks, Mom, for dinner.”
“You know you’re always welcome here. Anytime, Drake.”
“Thanks,” I said and went to where Ken was bending down examining some piece of equipment. “I’m going. Gotta hit the sack and be on top of things for tomorrow.”
He stood up next to me. “You know anything about industrial pastry dough makers?”
I laughed. “Nope. Thank God.”
“Sure, sure,” he said and gave me a hug. “Stay for the fun part and leave when the going gets tough.”
“See you tomorrow night? More of the same?”
“You bet.”
I nodded and watched as he bent back down, looking at some part of the machine. I left the kitchen, taking the back door. It was mid-summer, and the sky was still light in the west but was rapidly darkening.
I walked to my rental car, got inside and drove to the hotel, wishing Kate and Sophie were here to share the night with me.
Hopefully, if everything worked out, they would be in New York before the start of the fall school semester.
I kept my fingers crossed, but as they say, the best-laid plans of mice and me often go awry…

The next morning,after a quick shower, I sat down at my computer in the 8thAvenue apartment and opened my messages.
There, in a text from Kate, was an intriguing message:
* * *
KATE:When we’re back in New York, I want us to find the time for this once more.
* * *
Attachedto it was a pic of a letter I’d written to my submissive, preparing her for my arrival and putting her in the right mood for our scene that night.
I smiled as I re-read the old letter, remembering that period of my life when the only thing I knew was that I had to be in complete control over a woman sexually while we were together. I loved how a sub gave herself over to me completely, trusting me to do what she needed and would enjoy the most.
Kate was right — we hadn’t had much — if any — time for D/s lately. With my busy schedule, with Sophia our full responsibility and with Liam living with us and needing lots of attention, plus with Ethan so ill, our sex life had all but fizzled out. A few quick sessions each week before we both fell into bed exhausted was all it amounted to.
I missed our old sex life, but it had to be that way given our circumstances, and I wouldn’t trade my life with Kate, Sophia, Liam, Ethan and Elaine for anything.
For anything…
I remembered discovering that Kate was a secret submissive, craving D/s but being afraid to admit it to herself. That thrilled me in a way that surprised me. I fell hard for her very quickly. Frankly, I think I fell for her before we even met.
Meeting in person was the push that I needed to fall completely head over heels.
I smiled and wrote her a text, trying to be as tempting as I could.

DRAKE:Katherine, when we get back to New York, we will have more time for this, and you will be more fulfilled that ever before. That’s my promise. Tonight, take a moment away from everyone after they’ve all gone to bed. I want you to send me a video. Wear those sexy stockings and the black lace push-up bra and panties I love. Pleasure yourself to completion.
