When she looked up, Patrick was standing at the entrance into the kitchen, leaning against the door frame and watching her.

“How long have you been standing there?” she asked. She’d been so involved in the contract and her own thoughts that she hadn’t even heard him stop doing the dishes.

“Long enough to see you make some interesting expressions,” he teased, his dark eyes flashing with amusement. The scar on his face seemed to tug at his upper lip, pulling it into a smile.

“You have issues.”

“Tell me something I don’t already know.” Straightening up, he moved back into his position on the couch next to her, arm stretched out along the back. “Let’s go over it and we can make some amendments. Or, at least, negotiate.”

“And at the end of our negotiations, you’ll still get what you want, right?”

“Probably.” The twinkle in his eye was both devious and seductive.

Lexie leaned over and gave him a kiss, which obviously surprised him, but he didn’t pull away. She sighed happily as he put his hand on the back of her neck, letting his tongue duel with hers. Considering the contract she was holding in her hand, she’d wondered how he would take any blatant affection on her part. Apparently kissing was okay, although stroking his knee hadn’t been. Granted, she’d had ulterior motives involving stopping the movie and moving to the bedroom, whereas she just wanted to kiss him now, but still.

Pulling away, she handed him the contract with all the marks she’d made.

“What is it with you and the butt plug, anyway?” she asked. “I thought Adam was the one with the anal fetish.”

“It’s more about making sure you’re thinking about me when I’m not there,” he said, running his fingers through her hair. She really loved it when he did that. In fact, if they would work into the contract that he had to do it all the time, she’d be more willing to consider things like the butt plug. “The best way to do that is a toy, and the plug serves two purposes at once, because it will also stretch you out for me.”

The wicked grin he gave her sent a shiver straight through her body. Lexie had played with herself before, but when it came to anal sex, she was a virgin. Nothing other than toys and fingers. She hadn’t consciously thought of it as saving part of herself for Patrick, just in case, but now it kinda felt that way. The idea of him claiming that last part of her... well, it made her pussy do all sorts of crazy contractions.

“Okay, but I’m not wearing a plug to the office. I can’t sit like that all day and do my job, and I know you wouldn’t want me to be a bad worker.” She batted her eyes innocently at his snort of amusement.

“But you’d be willing to wear it at other times?”

Part of her wanted to say no, just because the idea made her a bit uncomfortable, but the heat in his eyes as he twirled her hair around his finger was making her reconsider. Plus, the whole thinking about him even when he wasn’t with her thing was really kind of hot.

“What if I wore it whenever I’m home without you? A small one. No graduating sizes on me or anything,” she said.

The sinfully sexy smile that spread across his face made the concession worth it. Heat bloomed in her cheeks, and lower in her belly, at the look he gave her. It was full of erotic promise, guaranteeing rewards and pleasure at his hands, and it occurred to her that it was a very dangerous smile. The kind that could tempt a girl into making very bad decisions.

“What about girls’ nights? I want to make sure you don’t forget me then, either,” he said, pulling her closer, that smile on his face making her weak and stupid.

“Girls’ nights out,” she managed to say. “Not in. Those are all about being comfortable.”

“Alright. Write it down.”

Her hand shook as she did so, crossing out the relevant portion and writing in the new agreement. The rest of the negotiations were like that. Patrick looking more and more smug, even as he bent in his demands, and her feeling more and more like just saying fuck it so they could stop negotiating and get to the good stuff. All the stuff that damned smile of his teased her with.

In the end, he agreed she could wear panties to work and when she was out in public wearing a skirt, but never at home or the club, which she considered a fair compromise. Morning blow jobs were assigned to the weekends, since she had to get up early for work on the weekdays. Lexie didn’t mind that at all, since she had a feeling Patrick wasn’t going to let her out of bed without playing with her as well. She had no objections to hot morning sex every weekend. She wore him down on paying for her waxes and on the showers thing, although she agreed she would let him know whenever she was getting in the shower if he was around. It sounded like he planned on joining her whenever that happened.

“I like washing you,” was what he’d said.

Yeah okay. If he wanted to take every opportunity to see her naked that he could, who was she to complain?

They both signed their names to the bottom of the amended contract, after initialing the changes. It felt weird to be so excited over what looked like a legal document, but just signing it made Lexie want to dance and sing.

“Good.” That smile was back on Patrick’s face, making her pussy clench as she looked up at him. “Now we can get to the fun stuff.”

Lexie shrieked in surprise as he picked her up, tossing her over his shoulder and heading to the bedroom like the alpha Neanderthal he was. Hot damn that was fucking sexy.

She’d signed the contract. She hadn’t run. She’d stood her ground and argued for the things she wanted changed.

Now she was his.
