I was safe.

Protected.

Loved.

I nuzzled my cheek against his wide chest and exhaled a contented sigh. The cool air of the dungeon flowed over my burning ass cheeks, but did nothing to assuage the growing ache between my legs or the mounting demand to surrender my entire being to Mika.

To fulfill all his needs, wants, and desires.

To hand over what few fragments of power remained inside me.

To please him sexually, emotionally, and spiritually in every way possible.

To send him sailing into Dom space and drown him in the same spine-bending peace and serenity he’d given me.

I would, as soon as the deluge of endorphins bled from my system and I floated back to earth.

Until then…

I pressed my lips against Mika’s neck, breathed him in, and continued soaring.

As the air grew colder and the light behind my lids dimmed, I slit my eyes open again. Mika was carrying me down the hallway. To his office or private room? It didn’t matter. I was exactly where I wanted and needed to be…safely in his strong arms.

When Mika lowered me onto a cool, fluffy mattress, I shivered at the loss of his body heat, then hissed as the soft cotton sheets raked my inflamed ass like sandpaper.

“Breathe, pet,” Mika murmured, gently easing me onto my side.

After propping a thick pillow between my shoulder blades to keep me from rolling onto my back, he disappeared, only to return a few seconds later, stretching out on the bed beside me. Brushing the hair from my face, he drew me to his broad chest, pressed a feather-soft kiss to my forehead, and held me. I cuddled in close, savoring the warmth, scent, and safety of his rugged body. While the steady beat of his heart echoed in my ear—throbbing in time with my burning backside—Mika caressed his wide palm over my back.

As his whispered praise spilled over me like warm honey, I sailed toward the stars until darkness consumed me.

“You’re snoring, pet,” Mika softly chuckled, pulling me from the inky depths of sleep.

“Mmm.”

“Open,” he whispered, tapping something cold against my lips.

I dutifully opened and swallowed the cool water spilling into my mouth.

After lifting the bottle away, he whispered, “Stick out your tongue, gorgeous.”

I eagerly complied. I knew what was coming before he’d even placed the square of chocolate on my tongue. Mika was anything but predictable…until it came to aftercare. I’d never met a man as spontaneous as him, but it was one of the many reasons I loved him. At first it bewildered me when he’d stroll through the door and tell me to pack a bag before we jetted off to Hawaii, Cancun, or the Cayman Islands for a few days. I’d lost count of the number of cruises we’d taken or how many times we’d packed up the kids and flown to Jamaica to visit his father, Emile, and his slave, Sarah.

As the sweet creamy cocoa melted and coated my tastebuds, I purred.

“Thank you, Master,” I whispered, kissing his chest as the kick of sugar and caffeine slowly floated me back to earth.

“You’re welcome, girl.”

I still couldn’t muster the energy to open my eyes, but then, I didn’t need to. I could hear the smile and feel the pride in his voice. Though he’d forgiven me for my unsubmissive behavior, tendrils of guilt still swirled inside me.

“I won’t disrespect you again.”

Mika softly chuckled. “Yes, you will…eventually. Someday, someone or something will piss you off. Then, without giving a single thought about your submission, you’ll lash out, and the sweet docile kitten in my arms will turn into a hissing, spitting hellcat.”

I couldn’t argue. He was right. Still…

“Are you saying you want me to change?”
