Her cheeks heated. Even in the lighting from the street lamp, he saw it.
“I don’t mean to embarrass you.”
“It just seems a little surreal right now. I mean, you’ve never spoken two words to me before, and yet you know my name, and now you’re stopping me from getting into my car. I didn’t even think I existed to you an hour ago.”
“You existed in a lot of ways you’ll never understand.”
She laughed. “You see this is where the whole scary, cryptic thing comes in. I don’t know what to expect.”
“Have you ever been told to expect the unexpected?”
“I’ve been told it, but you see, I live my life normally. Nothing unexpected ever happens. It’s always predictable, even down to the littlest of details.” She slapped her hand over her mouth. “I didn’t mean to say that.”
“The truth?”
“How boring I am.”
He reached out, tucking some hair behind her ear. “You’re not boring. In fact, I have a little proposition for you.”
“You do?”
“Yes. I’ve seen you, Avery, sitting in the background, watching, always watching, and I was wondering how you’d feel about a little private playing.”
“Private playing?” she asked, frowning.
“You, me, alone, no one watching us, waiting to see what would happen.”
“Like a date?”
“Yes, like a date, only you come to my place, and I will show you a whole world of loving.”
She bit her lip, looking toward the club. To the outside world, it didn’t look like anything extravagant. Just an ordinary house to the outside. It was only when you got inside that you saw the truth.
“I don’t know. Isn’t that against the rules?”
“There are no rules. We only ask for submissives to be careful, and if need be, we can check on the men claiming to be Doms. This world is exhilarating, exciting, and like all worlds, it is subject to being exploited.”
She nodded. “I get that. I’ve heard some scary tales.”
“Which is why we ask for everyone to be careful. You know how a first responder is supposed to respond to someone in the street no matter what?”
“Yeah.”
“We encourage fellow Doms, and even submissives, to help those that could be in an abusive relationship.”
“Sounds very dedicated.”
“Completely.”
She took a deep breath. “You want me to come to your house.”
“Yes, and I would like to explore what is going on between us without prying eyes. I promise you discretion and of course privacy.” Pulling his card out of his back pocket, he handed it to her. “Call me tomorrow by five, and I will know it’s what you want, and I’ll pick you up to explore this lifestyle together.”
“If I don’t call by five?”
“Then by seven I’ll be here, and I’ll leave you alone. There are plenty of good Dominant men out there.”
He didn’t want that to happen. He wanted the phone call at five.
“I’ll think about it.”
“You do that.” He opened her car door, and waited for her to climb inside.
Those curves were going to be all his. Dominic knew he’d get the phone call, it was only a matter of when she would phone.
Chapter Two
At exactly one minute to five, she called Dominic. She didn’t want to appear too eager, did she? Standing in her apartment, dressed in a pair of jeans and black shirt, she stared at her reflection. She didn’t look too bad, if he was into thick thighs, tiny waist, and large tits.
“It’ll be fine. You’re stressing, and way overthinking this. Everything is going to be okay.”
She hadn’t told anyone about her encounter with Dom, not even Ella. Was she making a big mistake?
Avery didn’t know what to think, but then at exactly five-thirty, her apartment doorbell rang, letting her know someone was there.
“It’s too late now. Too late.” Tucking hair behind her ears, she made her way toward the door.
There he stood, dressed in leather pants and a white shirt. Dominic Wright.
“Hey.”
“Hello, Avery.”
His voice made her shiver, and not in a bad way. No, it was all in a very good way. Her nipples tightened, and her pussy went slick. Licking her lips, she smiled.
“Are you ready to leave?”
“Yes.”
He entered her apartment and grabbed her bag. “I take it everything here is what I asked you to pack.”
“Everything.” During her phone call he’d told her to get a change of clothes for tomorrow, along with her purse and a few toiletries. It looked like she was staying over, or doing something at least. She was going to do this.
