And as much as I worried about it before, I know Ronan doesn’t think I’m too young or too irresponsible for him. All the fears I’ve had about him, he’s proven wrong.

Realizing that only reminds me I’m falling deeper and deeper into a relationship that is doomed to fail when he learns the truth.

The harsh reality is that I’m faced with two options now.

One, come clean about my mother. Eventually, it’s going to come out. If we truly stay together long enough, he’ll find out who my mother is, so I can’t hide it forever.

Two, I lie and pretend I know nothing. But that option makes me sick to even think about it. I hate lying. And just the idea of outright lying tohimis unthinkable.

So, I have to be honest…eventually. And there’s a good chance that when I am, everything between us will change and he won’t want me anymore. I need to be ready for that, but I don’t know if I can truly prepare myself for that outcome.

I’m not just falling for Ronan Kade. I’maddictedto him. I crave him in a way I don’t fully understand. He doesn’t make the pain of my grief go away, but he does make me forget about it for a while. And when I’m with him, I’m not wading in the water alone. He’s right there next to me.

“Will you get in with me?” I ask, reaching a bubbly hand toward him. “This tub is more than big enough for both of us.”

He’s leaning against the bathroom counter, his arms folded in front of his chest as he stares down at me with a quizzical notch in his brow. He’s thinking about it.

Then, one by one, he unbuttons his shirt before sliding it off and starting on his pants.

When he’s naked, he slides into the hot water behind me, pulling my back against his chest, and I relax in his arms. We’re silent for a moment, the hot water calming us both.

“That wasn’t too much for you, was it?” he asks, referring to the spanking.

I shake my head. “Not at all.”

“How are you feeling now?”

Taking a long breath and a moment to think, only one word comes to mind. “Content.”

“Good,” he replies. “Is there anything else you’d like to try? Maybe something at the club that piques your interest.”

With my head resting against his chest, I give it some thought. Before Ronan, everything at the club sounded impersonal and intimidating. Now the idea of being in there with him changes everything. I adore the prospect of exploring all the possibilities, knowing that he will keep me safe and make me feel good.

“What do you like?” I ask, turning my head toward him.

“It’s not about what I like. I’m asking you.”

My face stretches into a smile. “Well, you have to have some tastes of your own.”

“My taste is watching the person I’m with get off, Daisy. If you get off with whips and paddles, I want to do that. If you get off when people are watching you, then I want that too.”

When I let out a small laugh, he turns my chin to face him. “What was that for?”

“Nothing,” I reply. “I just…don’t think you’d really paddle me. At least, I don’t think you’d like it.”

“You’re right. I wouldn’t.” He’s very blunt and matter-of-fact with his response.

“But you’d still do it?”

His features twist in thought before he licks his lips and gives me a pointed stare. “Would you ever let someone else join us? Someone whowouldlike to do that?”

My jaw nearly drops to the floor. “Like a threesome?”

He pauses, his brows pinched inward. “Not necessarily. More like a scene. I think I’d love to watch, but I don’t know if I could be the one to do it.”

Goosebumps erupt along the flesh of my arms at the idea, and I try to control my excitement as I eagerly reply, “Yeah, I think I might like that. As long as it’s someone you trust. And they go easy on me.”

“Always at your pace, baby girl. I’d never let anyone hurt you.”
