Tessa’s stomach growled. She picked up the chicken skewer and pulled a piece of chicken off to pop in her mouth. She groaned in ecstasy.

“Good?” he asked with a grin.

“Did you marinate the chicken?” She couldn’t quite put her finger on the flavors.

“I did.”

Tessa waited for him to continue. She’d never experienced flavors like this.

“Mixture of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, peanut and sesame oil, garlic, onion, and a little bit of ginger.”

“I’ll have to try that.” She was always on the lookout for new ways to cook chicken. Or easy ways to cook chicken. She was helpless in the kitchen.

“I have lots of recipes.”

“Is that an offer to share?” Where did that come from?

“Depends on what you’ll give me for them.” He gave her a grin.

Her core tightened. Damn, he was sexy. Tessa tilted her head and thought for a minute. “A kiss.”

He smiled. “One for each recipe.”

She laughed. “Trying to take advantage, are we?” She was getting better at flirting with him.

“Only if you’ll let me.”

They finished eating, and Damon cleared everything away. “I had Max email me your questionnaire.”

Heat rushed to Tessa’s cheeks. “Okay.” It was hard to take a breath. Yes, she wanted Damon to be her trainer, but at the same time, this was scary.

“Would you like to read my questionnaire?”

“You’d let me?” That was surprising.

“Of course. You have a right to know who you’re playing with. Or I’m more than willing to tell you whatever you want to know.”

She was impressed. “I’d like to read it. It’s not because I don’t trust you; I do. I’d like to see how we compare.”

He inclined his head. “I’ll have Max email mine to you. I looked yours over. We’re very compatible. But I do have some questions.”

“All right.” Putting her fears aside, Tessa tried to relax. She was ready to do this.

“It’s mainly around the toy section. The one about beads or balls insertion, you said vaginally only and a hard limit on butt plugs.”

“I’m not ready to do anything anal.” She shivered.

“That’s fine. Is it something maybe at a later date you’re willing to try?”

“Maybe.” She wasn’t sure she would ever be ready. Anal play had looked painful to her the few times she witnessed it.

“All right. You didn’t circle hard or soft limit on toys in public when under clothing.”

“I need more clarification on that.” She was aware of the statement, but she wanted to hear from him what his thoughts were.

“For me, it would mean, maybe a wireless vibrating bullet I put in you and turn on and off at a restaurant or party. Or vibrating panties.”

“Oh?” She’d seen a lot in DC, including women who wore vibrating nipple rings under their clothing. You’d think people in the political eye would be more circumspect, but they weren’t. Well, probably most people outside the lifestyle wouldn’t notice or, if they did, even know what they were.
