“I warned you what I’m after, Sera. The question remains though, no matter what has happened over the past week… Do you trust me as your Daddy?”

There it was—the loaded question. She did trust him, explicitly, but she couldn’t deny the warning that flashed inside her mind when something she had never experienced and always shied away from was about to happen. How did she overcome that fear of the unknown?

“Well, my pet? This is where I will earn your ultimate submission. Right here... tonight.”

“I trust you, but I... I don’t think I’m ready for a ménage.” Her fingers plucked at the seam of her dress.

“You know how to end something you’re not comfortable with in this club, Sera. The safeword is Red. Use it and we stop.” His eyes narrowed, but his voice sounded reassuring. “Are you going to use it before we even start?”

“I should, but at the same time...” Sera glanced at Slade, completely overwhelmed by the desire flashing in his eyes. He exuded the same power and strength as Tanner—the kind of sensual invitation she couldn’t resist. “No, Daddy,” Sera said softly. “I’m not going to use my safeword... yet.”

He smiled with a quick nod. “That’s my girl.”

Tanner circled her before stopping in front of her to slowly flick his tongue against the shell of her ear while Slade ran his fingers up her back, causing her flesh to prickle and her nipples to strain against the softness of her dress. She gasped as he unfastened the slip of material and felt it slither down her legs, leaving her standing only in the gold thong.

“Easy, Babygirl.” Tanner’s voice carried a soothing melody as he observed her violent tremors. With tender care, he extended a delicate finger, tracing a path along her cheek, all the while locking his gaze onto hers. “Just hold on to that trust.”

“I’m trying to. I need to because I…” She gulped back her words and looked down, clamping her fingers together in front of her. Her effort was palpable, a struggle evident in every fiber of her being. She battled to maintain her grasp on the elusive thread of trust, her fingers pressing together in a silent plea as she lowered her gaze, her words caught in her throat.

“That you what?” Tanner waited patiently. The flash in her eyes when she hesitated was the most honest expression he’d seen from her to date.

He cupped her cheek and smiled gently. It would be so easy to order her to continue and she would—immediately, but he needed her to be at ease, to have the freedom to open her heart.

Caught in the gravity of the moment, she inhaled a deep breath, grappling with her emotions before she spoke, each word a step forward into vulnerability.

“I... I’ve never felt so exposed, so seen.” Her words carried a weight, a confession that lay heavy in the air between them.

Sera felt it then. It was as if an unbreakable thread of understanding bound them together. Despite his anger and disappointment in her, his presence stood firm, an unwavering pillar of support amid the tempestuous sea of emotions. His gaze, unyielding and warm, extended an invitation—a safe haven where she could lay bare her soul without the looming specter of judgment. The tapestry of their connection was woven with moments like these, where walls crumbled, revealing the intricate mosaic of emotions beneath.

“More than that.” Her voice trembled slightly, and she could sense Slade’s silent presence behind her, lending an air of solemnity to the moment. “I think I’ve fallen in love with you.”

As the words escaped her lips, they took on a palpable reality, no longer confined to the recesses of her mind. He had remained a constant presence, a phantom heartbeat echoing in her thoughts—ever present since that magical night they had shared and where they unknowingly created the lifeform that would bond them forever. She found it incomprehensible that this man had become her stable force—her only stability in a world filled with chaos.

Her gaze, awash with sincere vulnerability, lifted to meet his eyes. “I do. I love you so much, it’s an emotion that has grown from that first touch so many years ago and… I can’t believe I only just realized it.”

Overwhelming as it was, this emotion carried a sense of completeness. The intensity of her feelings was unlike anything she had ever encountered before—an uncontained force, boundless and unrestrained. In Tanner, she had unearthed the elusive element she had sought for years—peace. It was as if her heart, long confined to a melancholic stillness, was now dancing with unbridled joy within her chest, filling the void that had persistently haunted her.

Tanner didn’t say a word but the darkness that had taken residence in his soul slowly lifted, leaving the compassionate, loving man in its stead, watching her with glowing eyes.

“Perhaps I should leave you two alone,” Slade said as he stepped back.

“No, stay.” Tanner’s gaze didn’t release Sera, and although she cringed at the implication, she strangely felt reassured as he continued.

“Sera might have scratched the surface with this declaration but there are still too many chains wrapped around her soul. I am going to free her of all those restrictions tonight.”

“Master Thor, may I ask a favor, please?” Sera’s voice carried a gentle plea, her fingers caught in a restless dance along the edge of the thong’s fabric.

“Since you’re asking so nicely, go ahead.” Resolute and watchful, Tanner held his ground, unwilling to let down his defenses. He refused to lower his guard.

“I need a hug. May I please hug you?” Sera said, her words were like fragile petals unfurling in a breeze.

A subtle shift in Tanner’s demeanor caught her attention—an almost imperceptible flicker in his eyes, a clenching of his jaw. It was as though he grappled with an internal struggle, an inner battle to rein in something potent, which was why his response came as such a surprise.

“Yes, Babygirl, you may.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Sera closed the distance between them as she entered the circle of his arms. His frame, now familiar to her after their time together, held a level of intimacy beyond the surface. In the span of the weeks living with him, she had become attuned to the cadence of his movements, the subtle, reassuring scent of his understated aftershave, and even the rhythmic melody of his heartbeat during the tranquil moments before they fell asleep. But this was different. It marked the first time she truly felt him—his very essence.

In that embrace, the barriers between them melted away, allowing her to experience a connection beyond the physical realm. His embrace enveloped her, a sanctuary of warmth and solace. It was as though their spirits intertwined, a dance of energies that transcended the ordinary. In that simple yet profound moment, she gained an understanding that surpassed words—the unspoken language of emotions and the profound depth of their bond.
