Cade

Watching River fold and put away my clothing was one of the sexiest sights on the planet. Her joy as she completed the chores was almost contagious. There were so many things I wanted to do with her but I knew I shouldn’t intrude. Once she was done, though, all bets were off.

I’d been working on a plan to take her out. An epic date if you will, to bring in more intimacy and hopefully cultivate trust. I was nervous she’d resist. Our sessions in the Dungeon and out in the hayloft had been intense. I hoped she was entertaining the idea of going back to the city with me but knew she still had a lot of concerns. I couldn’t blame her but I was confident things would be different.

“River, come and sit on my lap. I have a question to ask you.”

Keeping my face blank and not giving away my intention was a way to get her off guard. In the past, this had usually ended with her over my lap for a few swats to her luscious behind before I’d slide my fingers into her soft silky folds and make her come. But we weren’t there yet as her creased brow indicated.

Her look of nervousness instead of excitement as she settled on my lap showed me just how much I needed to prove to her. “I would like to wine and dine you this evening.”

A beautiful smile lit up her face. “That sounds really nice. Where are we going?”

“I’d like to keep that a surprise. You will go and choose an outfit for the night and bring it back here. I want to watch you dress.”

Her eyes swirled with lust at my words, her pupils dilating.

“Yes, Master.” Her voice was husky. “Is there anything in particular you would like to see me in?”

“Sexy, dressy, and of course, no panties.”

“We’re leaving the Ranch?” The anxiety in her words told me I’d made the right choice.

“No, but that is all I’ll tell you.” I kept my face stern. I watched as thoughts flittered across her expression. Was she disappointed?

With a small nod I didn’t think she knew she’d made, she said, “Of course, Master Cade.”

“Good girl.” I hid my relief as she stood. I swatted her ass lightly in encouragement. The hungry look she cast over her shoulder almost made me regret that I wouldn’t be taking her before our meal. I had other ideas in mind and needed to be patient.

When River returned freshly showered with her hair done up in an elegant sweep wearing a robe and carrying her clothes, I wanted to change all of my plans and take her immediately. The earrings I’d bought her for our first year anniversary dangled from her delicate earlobes. She was so god-damn beautiful. I wanted to worship her every day for the rest of our lives.

“You look stunning, maybe you should just stay naked.”

She removed her robe and I admired the faint blush that highlighted her pale skin. “As fun as that sounds, I think the restaurant may have an issue with that.”

“Not if I rented out the whole place and tipped the staff very well.” While I could certainly afford to do that, I wouldn’t. Exhibitionism was only fun for both of us when we knew all parties were enjoying themselves.

“Cade!” The innocence and feigned outrage she could project even while standing naked was impressive.

I growled as I approached and watched her pupils dilate. Her pink tongue darted out to wet her lips and I felt a sudden urge to suck it into my mouth. I ran my hands over her shoulders, my roughened skin loving her softness. Her shoulder blades appeared more chiseled, her ribs too pronounced. I ran my hands over her lovingly.

“You’ve not been taking care of yourself properly, River,” I whispered, my breath wafting over the sensitive skin right behind her ear. I felt her startle under my hands.

“I don’t understand what you mean, Sir?”

The way she sensed and slipped into the perfect role in even the smallest scene was an aphrodisiac. Tonight would push her, but we both needed to see that our dynamic would work outside these walls.

“You are, as always, beautiful, but you’ve lost weight.” I allowed my words to sink in. “Weight you didn’t need to lose.”

She gasped and shook her head. I flicked one of her nipple rings then ran my hand lightly across her ribs.

“That has to stop. Our primary rule will now be that you need to take care of your health before anything. I expect you to eat everything I order for you. And maybe, if you’re a good girl, I’ll let you have extra dessert.” I traced my fingertips over her lips.

River gently swayed into my touch, her mouth slightly open. We both knew the extra dessert had nothing to do with food.Knowing that if I didn’t get her dressed soon we’d never leave, I took one of her stockings and knelt on one knee. The motion was so familiar she automatically placed her hands on my shoulders and lifted a foot. Gently I drew the silky material up her leg.

The act of dressing her to go out had been one of the core routines of our relationship that I’d neglected. I’d been an idiot. The act of connecting her stockings to the garter belt had me hard as stone. I turned her around to face the mirror with me behind her.

“Look at how beautiful you are.”
