"Tell me about your day, baby."

Bailey props her chin in her hand and launches into a description of Keith's latest antics, which seems to involve him and a few of the gym members going out for drinks after class. She talks about Mark and a few of the other trainers, and I smirk.

"Renae went out with Keith and the guys, huh?"

Bailey lifts an eyebrow. "How did you know?"

I shrug. "Lucky guess."

Her laugh makes me grin, and we finish our steaks. When Bailey moans and reaches for a second helping, pride swells in my chest. I love providing for her, love seeing her looking healthy and happy.

"Did you make dessert?" she asks. Her eyes are wide, and I smirk.

"No, baby girl. But I have something else in mind to finish off the night.”

Her smile is slow and seductive. "Oh, that sounds wonderful."

I stand and take both our plates, rinsing them and sticking them in the dishwasher. I hear Bailey come around the counter and her little inhale when she finds the red gift bag with her name on it. I don't even turn around, a wicked grin spreading across my face. "Go ahead, baby."

She makes a happy noise, pulling the tissue paper out and digging in. There are three things inside—one that I know is going to be an instant hit, and the other two that I think are going to make her a little nervous…but in the best way.

I turn to watch her pull out the long black velvet box that holds the diamond tennis bracelet. Bailey opens it and gasps, her eyes wide. "Porter..."

"Put it on, sweetheart."

She does, her fingers fumbling with the clasp, and turns her wrist so the gems catch the light. "It's gorgeous."

"Just like my girl."

Bailey steps forward and wraps her arms around my waist, hugging me tightly. My hands stroke her hair and travel down her back, cupping her ass. She sighs and tilts her head back, pouting at me. "I can't afford to get you anything like this."

"Ah, baby. You know what I want more than any gift? For you to get your other two gifts out of the bag."

Her eyebrows go up, and she turns in a flurry of hair and skirts, going back to the bag and pulling out her last two gifts, which, in reality, are as much presents for me as they are for her.

The handcuffs shine in her hands, bracelets of a different sort, and the soft red blindfold hangs from her manicured fingers. Her eyes jump up to mine, blue as the sky and round as plates.

"Oh, this is...new." She licks her lips, clearly interested but just the littlest bit unsure.

"It sure is, baby. Now—" I push myself away from the counter and cross my arms, looking down at the love of my life with all the commanding energy I have. "Go back to the dining room table. Put on the blindfold and wait for me with your hands behind your back."

She blinks a few times, and I can only imagine what's going on in her head. But then, she squeals with excitement, bounding over to stand on her tiptoes and kiss me soundly. I can't help but laugh and kiss her back, even if she isn't listening to what I told her. Her reaction is cute enough for me to allow the breaking of rules, just this once.

"This is going to be fun." She almost vibrates with anticipation.

"It sure is. Now, go or I'm going to have to spank that perfect little ass for not listening. Go!"

I give her a playful little swat and she squeals again, the sound dissolving into giggles as she rushes over to the cleared-off table just like I told her to. My sweet girl. She has no idea what she's in for now.

BAILEY

I'm basically shivering as I lean up against the marble table, slipping the blindfold over my eyes and putting my hands behind my back just like Porter told me to. I hear him coming from behind the counter, and my pulse quickens at the sound of his boots on the floor, knowing that in seconds, he's going to have me cuffed and at his mercy.

I love being at his mercy.

His hand closes over my wrists, and Porter bends down, his hot breath hitting the side of my neck and making me shudder. He kisses me softly, and the handcuffs click into place. His footsteps fade away, and I bite my lip, wondering what's going to happen next.
