“Sit on the edge of the bed and close your eyes.”

Her eyes widen a little at the command in my voice, but then she scrambles to do as I asked, though thankfully, she remembers not to sit down too quickly in the process.

She may not have thought I caught her wince when she sat up earlier at the clubhouse, but I did.

When she’s in place, I go to the closet and get down the box I’d set up there late last night. One of the things I’d done yesterday, besides getting this tattoo, when I had put some distance between us, was to go to the adult store on the edge of town.

I’d gotten a variety of things, both for now and for when she’s fully healed. Once they were charged and washed, I stowed them out of sight. I had hoped that with time, I could erase the memories for how she’d been restrained.

Sitting the box on her lap, I kneel in front of her, so that my face is level with hers.

“Open your eyes, Sunshine.”

She blinks and smiles before turning her attention to the box. “What’s this?”

Clearing my throat, I feel my cheeks heat a bit. “I know now that staying away hurt you rather than helped, but one of the things I did yesterday was to go and get these items.”

Her face lights up in excitement, but I stop her from opening it just yet. She looks back up at me in confusion.

“There is something in here that I got that ties into something we talked about before...” I pause, and clear my throat, not wanting to say that asshole’s name in our bedroom. “Anyway, you may not want to try it now, but know that when you do, it will be done with trust and you’ll have a safe word. I thought about just keeping them hidden in the closet, but I didn’t want you to freak out if you found them. Just remember, this will always be on your terms.”

She swallows nervously, and I think she knows what I’m talking about, but neither of us says it out loud. This time when she goes to open the box, I let her.

She pulls out each item and lays them on the bed—a couple of vibrators, including a double penetration one, butt plugs of various sizes, a couple of clit stimulators, nipple clamps, a flogger, a blindfold, some soft rope, and a restraint system with cuffs. There are also a couple of different types of lubes.

Her breathing starts to quicken, and I cup her cheeks, making her face me instead of the toys.

Fuck.

Her eyes are clouded and I know where her mind’s at. “Look at me, Sunshine. You’re here with me. You are in my arms. We’re in our bedroom. You aren’t there or with him anymore. You’re with me, Liam.”

Finally, she blinks and her eyes start to clear. She tries to look away, but I don’t let her.

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of, baby. We’re going to take things slow. You pick out what you want to try out and we’ll go from there. Am I expecting to use all these today? No. In fact, we don’t even have to use any of the items. It’ll always be on your terms.

“And if there’s something you want to try that isn’t in this box, then we can either order it online or go to a store together to get it.” I pause, leaning forward and kissing her gently before resting my forehead against hers. “It’s all up to you, baby.”

Taking a deep breath, she pulls back, and although I notice she’s a little shaken still, she turns back to the array of toys.

I can’t believe I’m even considering this, but I want to try. I’d prefer the way Liam described after our shower the other day, but I know that’s not an option since my wounds are still healing. Not to mention the apprehension of being tied up again, but as they say, taking baby steps is still progress in overcoming your fears.

Knowing that part of the time Liam was gone the last couple of days was to get that beautiful tattoo and these toys blows me away. Those actions also help lessen some of the sting of what he’s done. He’s not off scott-free by any means, but I’m giving him another chance. I just hope he doesn’t let me down again.

Grabbing the box, I put away the nipple clamps, silk rope, flogger, blindfold, and as for the rest of the stuff, I leave them out.

Looking back up at Liam, I can tell he’s apprehensive, but excitement also shines through his eyes.

“These are things that I’m willing to try right now. I’m not saying no to this other stuff, just not yet. Also... don’t make me close my eyes. I need to be able to see you. And no hitting my breasts or down there. As for teasing my nipples, I’ll probably be okay since it’s you.”

His face darkens with anger, but I know it’s directed at those two twattwaffles they have hidden somewhere on the property. I’m not dumb. I know the club will deal with them and that the cops won’t be called in for this. Just like I know they’re dealing with Luscious.

“Understood, Sunshine,” he replies right before his lips slam down on mine. I moan as his giant hands slide up my back, holding me gently against him.

After a few moments, he pulls back, both of us breathing heavily.

“Do you want a singular safe word, or do you want to use the color system? Green for good, yellow for caution, and red for stop.”

Nibbling my lip, I nod. “Color system. That should be easier to remember.”
