“What do you need?”
 
 “A kiss.”
 
 “Tell me what you were thinking first.”
 
 “Nuuu.”
 
 “Yasss,” I mimicked.
 
 “Fine.” She heaved an over dramatic sigh, and stared down at the floor. “I was wondering if you had sex with your play partners at the club?”
 
 “I do,” I answered truthfully. Honesty was my biggest policy when negotiating a scene with someone.
 
 She nodded.
 
 “What made you ask, baby?”
 
 “Well, we kinda scened earlier… in the parking lot.”
 
 I would give her that. It hadn’t been what I would consider a scene, but I knew she only played in the playroom for the Littles at the club. To her, it probably had been a real scene.
 
 “We did.”
 
 “So, technically…” She trailed off.
 
 “Yes?”
 
 “Technically, we’re play partners.”
 
 “Technically,” I agreed.
 
 “So we could…”
 
 It clicked with me what the Little imp was asking. She wanted to have sex.
 
 “We could what?” I prodded, wanting her to ask for it directly. I took her chin in my hands and lifted until she was forced to look at me.
 
 “We could have… make… fuck. We could fuck.”
 
 “Yeah, we could do that,” I agreed, biting back a smile.
 
 She stared at me a full minute before bouncing in my arms. “Axel,” she whined, dragging the last letter out.
 
 “Paisley,” I teased.
 
 Her precious face turned into a frown and her eyes widened. “D-did you not want to? Oh, I’m an idiot. I shouldn’t have assumed.”
 
 “I'm going to stop you before you can get yourself in trouble. I would love to fuck that sweet pussy, I was just teasing you. Your bashfulness is very attractive and I can’t help but exploit it a bit. Now before I make those pretty blue eyes roll into the back of your head, we need to do a few things.”
 
 “Like take our clothes off,” she said with a very sassy head nod.
 
 “More like calling your boss, and maybe we’ll do some negotiating after.”
 
 “No calling me names or slapping my face. You have to wear a condom. I can’t come without clitoral stimulation,” she answered as if she’d thought it all through. “You?”
 
 I was a bit caught off guard. “Wearing a condom is a very good hard limit, Paisley.”
 
 I loved that she was smart enough to know to use protection. I had to drill that into the people I mentored at the club. You couldn’t just take someone's word that they were clean.
