“Thank you for making breakfast.”

Patrick turned to see Lexie standing there, hair still on end and coffee cup in hand. His t-shirt hung loosely on her small frame, the same one she’d worn home last night. As much as he would have liked to see her naked, he knew that completely naked with a hot cup of coffee was not always the best idea. Hence, the boxers he was currently wearing. Small protection, but something was better than nothing, just in case.

“You’re welcome.”

A little smile played across her face as he dished her eggs onto a plate. “You keep making me food. I’m starting to feel like a slacker submissive.”

“There will be plenty of time for you to cook for me,” he said, handing her the plate and a fork. Putting his hands on her hips, he turned her around and gently pulled her back against him. With a little sigh, she softened and leaned into his body as he slid his hands around her waist so she could eat while in the circle of his arms.

Resting his chin on top of her head, he relished the feel of her against him, the curve of her ass against his thighs, and the softness of her body under his hands. Part of him wanted to keep her there with him all day. Now that she was his, he didn’t want to let her out of his sight, but he knew it wasn’t possible. She needed to go to work, and he had things to do, including a bit of shopping he’d rather do on his own.

“Are you on birth control, Pixie?” he asked. He was fairly certain she was, but it would affect his shopping trip if she wasn’t. There were a few condoms in his bedside table at home, but not nearly enough for what he’d need this week.

“Yeah, I’m on the shot.”

“Good.”

Twisting slightly, she looked up at him. “Does this mean we can have sex now?” she asked, teasing.

Patrick kissed her forehead. “No.” She let out an exasperated sigh and turned back to her half-full plate of food. “You’d better not be rolling your eyes again.”

He’d given her two hard spanks last night, laying her across his lap before bed. Something which had frustrated her, because afterwards he’d just slid back into the bed, pulling her with him and, after a soft goodnight kiss, told her to go to sleep. Even though she’d been exhausted, she’d been more than willing to stay awake to further their physical relationship, to phrase it nicely.

However, he hadn’t been kidding when he’d said he wanted more time to plan the scene. He wanted it to be special. Besides, even though he wanted her to become his submissive immediately, that didn’t mean he thought they should have sex immediately. Anticipation made the pleasure sweeter, and Lexie needed to know she couldn’t push him into doing everything she wanted, when she wanted it.

“Of course not, Sir,” she sassed. Patrick smacked her thigh, making her jump a bit.

“Ow!”

“That didn’t actually hurt.”

“It stung.”

“Then don’t sass me.”

Lexie grumbled under her breath. “Like that’s ever going to happen.”

Since she couldn’t see his expression, he grinned. Bending his head down to whisper in her ear, he could feel her tensing slightly beneath his hands. “Why do you think I like you so much, sweetheart? Now finish your breakfast.”

To his satisfaction, she did without protest, and he got to hold her while she ate. This was what he wanted. A soft, submissive woman in his arms in the morning, doing exactly what he told her to, with an occasional side of sass that would end in punishment. They’d probably have their differences on occasion, with Lexie it was practically a guarantee, but at least now he could spank any brattiness out of her when the situation called for it.

It didn’t take them long to get ready to go. He could tell Lexie was a bit nervous about having him there, moving around in her space, but she liked it too. They both took every opportunity to touch each other, although some of her touches were intentionally seductive. As if they had time for anything when she had to get to work. Patrick ended up giving her ass a sharp smack so she would concentrate on brushing her teeth instead of pressing her butt against his growing erection.

“When you get home, pack an overnight bag and then come over,” he said as they got ready to leave, hefting his own bag onto his shoulder. “Pack something to wear to Stronghold tomorrow too, so you can come right over after work.”

“I’m not scheduled for tomorrow,” she said, looking stubborn.

“You’re not scheduled at all, you quit remember? You won’t be there to work, you’ll be there as my submissive. I’m not going to be re-hiring you, but I want you at Stronghold whenever I’m there, unless you have something else to do.”

“Oh...” A little light dawned behind her eyes, and a pink blush spread through her cheeks. “So everyone’s going to know?”

“Everyone’s going to know.”

She beamed up at him, her smile radiant.

Reaching out, Patrick stroked his fingers over her cheek and into her hair, unable to resist the temptation to lean down and kiss her when she looked like that. Their tongues tangled, heat surged, and he fought back the impulse to say fuck responsibility, pick her up and carry her back to the bed. Instead, he reluctantly pulled away.

“Come on, Pixie. You need to get to work, and I have things to do today.”
