I’d seen that look on other bossy women’sfaces before. I was going to have to roll out of her house. It was a good thingmy metabolism was off the charts.
Silas stroked his fingers against mine aswe headed for the car parked just down the street. We’d attracted a few localswho were not-so-discreetly watching from one of the doorways. The apartmentsthey rented were going to be one of the first things to be renovated.
I’d gotten it for a steal because theprevious owner hadn’t been keeping up the maintenance like he should have beenand the city had been threatening legal action. The initial cost to fix up theplace would be substantial, but once it was at full occupancy again, theinvestment wouldn’t take long to get back in the green. I wouldn’t even have toraise the rents because they were already reasonable.
I had a feeling there had been a bit ofskimming going on with the previous owners. There was no way the buildingshould have been in that bad of shape. Some of the tenants were still a bitskeptical, but I was hoping once they saw the changes our relationship wouldimprove.
I smiled and waved to our watchers as theasshole opened the door to the car. Looking good in his position was one of theonly things he was passionate about. So it was fun to make him run around thecar fighting to open the door. He’d gotten caught a few times in pictureslooking like he was dawdling so I had to open the door myself. Now it was aconstant fight to get out before he could get to me.
The only time I didn’t mess with him waswhen Wade and the guys were around, but most of the time I rode with Tannersince he was just down the street.
The asshole was mumbling under his breathas I slid into the car, but as I sat down, I caught Silas giving him a dirtylook which stopped the idiot in his tracks. My Silas was so fucking sexy whenhe was angry. I loved it.
He was so perfect.
The guys were going to love him.
As the asshole closed the door behindSilas, I threw myself at him. “That was so hot.”
He chuckled, pulling me tight as he leanedback in the seat. “What was?”
“The way you pinned him down with yourstare and put him in his place.” I shivered. “Promise you’ll do that to me whenI’m naughty?”
Silas chuckled but made me melt when hesmacked my ass. “Buckle your seat belt, Trouble.”
I wiggled, making sure he knew exactly howgood it felt, and blew him a kiss as I flopped back into my seat, following hisinstructions. “Yes, Sir.”
Silas was still wearing the wicked grin,but his gaze heated. I knew he liked the words even if we hadn’t explored verymuch of the lifestyle yet. Well, beyond some sexy reminders that I wasn’tsupposed to make myself come.
Silas owned my cock.
Fuck, that was hot.
I knew the reality was that I’d given himcontrol and I could take it back. I understood the basics of BDSM. It was justsexier to imagine him as this big bad Dom who had come in and completely takenme over.
I was going to grab my dick if I didn’tstop that line of thought.
I needed a distraction. “Where did you wantto go for dinner?”
Silas chuckled. It was like he could readmy mind and knew there was something naughty running through it. “Well, part ofthat will depend on you.”
“Depend how?” I really just wanted to throwmyself at him and beg to come, but that wasn’t looking like an option yet.
Maybe later.
“I still want to spend time getting to knowyou. That hasn’t changed.” The wicked desire in his gaze said I was going tolike the next part and I waited, holding my breath. “But I want to know howmuch privacy you would like as we talk. Do you want to sit down and have aquiet dinner, keeping things vanilla, or do you want to explore the morecolorful side of our relationship a bit? Nothing crazy, we’d just need moreprivacy.”
Was there really any question about what Iwanted?
“Privacy.” Anything else was ridiculous.
How was I supposed to get to know the realSilas without the BDSM in the picture as well? I could find out facts about hislife by doing a basic internet search…in fact, I had…but the things I couldn’tlearn, like how he’d treat a sub, weren’t something I’d figure out over a fancydinner while everyone in the place watched us.
I tried to find a way to explain it in away that wouldn’t make me sound insane or like a cheap whore. Because I’d be adamned expensive one if I went that route. “I want to continue getting to knowyou, but I want to explore that part too. In my mind, it's not a small aspectto a real relationship, and I want to see how it feels to submit to you.”
I needed to know if we were reallycompatible in that way. I could see how perfect it was going to be, but Iwouldn’t be satisfied until I experienced it for myself.
Silas stroked a hand along my cheek,sending shivers through me. “Then I’m going to give you what you need, Trouble.”
