I was hoping to avoid this conversation for as long as possible. “What if when we go over these rules of yours, the complete list, you find that we’re not compatible?”
He smiles and cradles me tighter. “I highly doubt that’s going to happen, but what would be worse is if my expectations from a relationship stifled you as a person or hurt you in some way because we didn’t openly communicate. That’s not going to happen on my watch, Lex.”
I nod because with Sheldon everything just seems so damn easy and makes so much sense. “Okay, let’s do this. Tell me your rules. Wait, let me have one more bite of this scrumptious dessert first.” Lifting my mouth, I take his offering as he brings his fork to my mouth.
“Rules. We already talked about the address. I don’t require an official address, Lex. I’m me. You’ve told me why you like sir, and I’m fine with that. It’s your call on the address, though.”
I nod because that just feels laid back and comfortable, completely like everything else about Sheldon. “Okay, even when we’re with your friends? Are there special rules for when we’re with them or out together?”
His eyes knit together as he contemplates my question. “There are no special rules about how you address me, Lex.”
I inhale deeply, and his eyes darken. This connection is so much more than I could have hoped for.
“Let me first preface the conversation with something you’re going to want to reflect on periodically when I do something you don’t like. Anything I do, like it or not, is going to be for your well-being. If I ask you not to do something, it’s because something about what you’re intending could bring harm to you. It’s not that I want to smother you or diminish anything you want to do. Quite the opposite.”
“Nothing about that sounds too hard. What about your friends? A lot of dominant men like to share their women, especially at parties and stuff.”
“No sharing, Lex. I’m a very possessive man. They can look as long as it’s not lewd or for too long because a man would have to be blind not to notice you, but definitely a no to sharing, and you’ll wear clothing when we’re not alone for the same reason.”
I take the last sip of the wine in my glass, and his brows knit. “We still need to go over a few things, Lex, but you’ve managed to finish another glass of wine, and you look absolutely exhausted. The rules will keep for a bit.”
Sheldon stands, cradling me in his arms. He walks me to my bedroom, lays me down, and slides into bed beside me, pulling me close to him. “Sleep with me tonight, Lex,” Sheldon instructs as if I ever wanted to leave his arms and he hasn’t just commandeered my bed.
I waketo the sound of the shower, turn over, and snuggle into the pillow that still smells like Sheldon, stretching luxuriously in my sex-sated haze until the water turns off and he walks back into the bedroom.
He prowls toward me wearing nothing more than a stark white towel, displaying his panther-like muscles. I track the rolling drops of water still glistening on his skin, trailing over his expansive shoulders, down his broad, muscular chest, and rock-hard stomach. “Good morning,” Sheldon greets me, dropping one knee onto the bed to bend and kiss me on the lips.
My cheeks heat with unchecked desire and embarrassment as he ends our kiss and smirks at me. “You’re blushing, Lex.”
Garr … he’s just so hot looking down at me completely naked except for that towel, and I know exactly what’s under it and what he can do with that incredibly large package because he’s been doing it all night long.
Sheldon runs his finger down the side of my face, trailing it along the side of my neck, scattering goosebumps down my arms. “Are you turned on, Lex?
I nod because my mouth is so dry, and my center is so wet.
His fingers snake under the sheet, and he pulls it back slowly, exposing me to the warm ocean breeze floating in through the windows. “And so rousingly delicious,” Sheldon growls, bending to take an erect nipple into his mouth.
I moan softly as his other hand cups my breast, stroking my erect nipple and rolling it between his finger and thumb.
His eyes have darkened, his cock has expanded under the towel, and I can feel the heat of him pressing against my body. “I’d love nothing better than to stay in bed and devour you some more, but we have a couple days’ reprieve. Intel’s working overtime to find out what happened last night, and until they do, we’re locked down on the estate. There’s a ton of our security team here, so if you’re up to it, I can spend some time showing you around the estate grounds, and we can head down to the private beach for a swim.”
“You mean if I can walk after last night, don’t you?”
“Too hard on you, Lex?” I see a flicker of concern drift across his eyes.
I shake my head. “No, that’s not what I meant.” My cheeks heat. “It was great. Well, you know, as far as first dates go and all.”
He laughs out loud and pulls the sheet from my body, takes my hand, and draws me to him. “Go shower before we have another round and I show you just how hard it can get,” Sheldon commands, spinning me and smacking my bottom as I let out a yelp.
I make quick work of getting showered for the day, eager to see the estate. When I come out of the bathroom, the French doors to the balcony are open and the scent of the ocean’s breeze, coffee, and bacon wafts through the air. I slip into a bathrobe and make my way to his room.
He’s working on his laptop and talking on the cell at the table outside. I slide into the seat beside him, pour a cup of coffee from the carafe on the table, and lift a couple dome covers, crunching a piece of bacon. “So good!” I mouth, holding out a piece for him.
Sheldon takes a bite and smiles widely at me, but then he scowls at his laptop. “We’ll take care of it on this end, Jay. The teams are all in place, and we’re just waiting for more information. Stay safe, my friend,” he replies, hanging up.
“Work?”
“Uh-huh. Nothing that will interfere with our day, though.” He takes a piece of the bacon from the platter, holds it out for me, and I take a bite.
