Asa’s entire body clenched and I could feelthe jolt of pleasure that went through him. “Yes, Master.”
The obvious thrill he got from just theidea that I’d use him without even thinking about his own desire said he mightpush, but at heart, he really was a devoted sub who wanted to be owned andused.
Maybe I’d be good for him after all.
Chapter 5
Asa
“And we’re going on our first date tonight,but he didn’t kiss me on the lips at the club. He said that was an after firstdate activity because he wanted me to think about things.” As I reached the endof Dr. Sheppard’s office, I turned around and started pacing back toward hisdesk.
Sitting still never worked when I talked tohim. I always had the best of intentions but somehow spilling my guts requiredmovement.
“He’s still worried about all kinds ofthings, but that might be because I came on a little strong.” Turning back, Iretraced my steps. “But he’s known me forever, so I don’t really think that wasa big problem. Now, the whole known me forever thing might be a bigger issue—”
“You knew him?” Dr. Sheppard interrupted,leaning forward in his chair. “Asa, come sit down with me for a moment.”
Too much wiggling?
He was very patient, but at some point, heusually asked me to slow down because occasionally I made him seasick.
“Yes?” Wondering how long I’d have to sitstill, I walked back over and sat down in the chair across from him.
Dr. Sheppard was watching me closely,making me wonder what I’d said. “Tell me about how you met your new Dom.”
I blinked. “The club.”
Dr. Sheppard seemed to be trying not tolaugh. “I was paying attention, Asa, but I think you skipped over a few steps.Start again. You said you went to the club on Friday and that you met a Dom.Then you mentioned having a date…but go back to the beginning.”
Oh, hadn’t I mentioned that part?
“Remember me telling you about that man Iknew when I was a kid? The one who made me realize there was something aboutpower dynamics?” When Dr. Sheppard nodded, I continued, forcing myself to goslow. “He was there. I mean, at the club.”
Dr. Sheppard cocked his head and gave meanother look like I’d said something interesting. I really had skipped theimportant bits. He finally nodded. “Yes, I remember. You said he watched outfor you and helped you with things like schoolwork.”
“Yes.” Relieved he’d remembered, Icontinued. “He was at the club with his friends. Oh, and one of them was theguy who he’d been…well, you know…but they’re just friends.”
“Tell me what happened when you got to theclub.” The instruction made me sigh, but the rule was unless I safeworded I hadto answer, so I explained about almost-naked Conner and skeptical Ben and thenabout Stuart.
“He was surprised—but in a good way. Westarted talking about everything and one thing led to another and he said hewould be my Master, but he has conditions.” I finally flopped back in thechair. “Not just regular rules. After two weeks of dates he wants to talk toyou before we go any further.”
That had Dr. Sheppard smiling. “I’massuming this was his idea?”
“Yes.” I rolled my eyes. “He’s got thisfear that he might not be good for me and he wants to hear from you that hewon’t destroy my sanity or something.”
Dr. Sheppard coughed for a moment butmanaged to keep from laughing, so I was impressed. “I’m assuming you told himabout our sessions?”
“Yes, he kept worrying about me, so I madesure he knew I’d worked out my issues and you’d said I wasn’t nuts.” The lookon his face made me wince. “Sorry, you’d said that I knew what I wanted from ahealthy BDSM relationship.”
He really didn’t like the word nuts.
Sometimes he made me wonder how he could beso take-charge here yet little with his Daddy.
“I’m glad you were open with him.”
“It was easy because I already trustedhim.” I grinned. “Stuart really hasn’t changed. Well, he’s changed in obviousways, but he’s still wonderfully honest and very forthright in how heapproaches things. Like talking to you. He was very firm about that and asked alot of questions.”
Dr. Sheppard gave me another one of hislooks. “Stuart?”
