“That sounds wonderful.”

Zeke took his gaze away from her hand at her breathless words. Her eyes were bright. Yes, she was finding this intensely seductive and sensual.

“We’ll get there.” He lowered her hand to his lap and began to undo the design.

“I almost don’t want you to remove it.”

He grinned. “We can experiment more, but not tonight.” Zeke set the string aside but kept her hand in his. “Okay with whole body now?”

“Soft limit, but it’s one I’ll want to discuss before we do.”

“Agreed. Now, schedules.”

“Schedules?”

“Yes, time for us to see each other.”

“Oh. Well, for obvious reasons, weekends are best.”

“I agree, but there’s a slight problem there.” Zeke had talked with Max about letting Allyson know about his work at the club. Max told him it was fine.

“What kind of problem?”

“I work at Wicked Sanctuary Friday and Saturday nights.” Her mouth formed an O, but she didn’t say a word. “Have I shocked you?”

“Yes…no. I didn’t realize you worked there.”

“It’s a relatively new thing. Max needed some DM help and asked if I wanted to work for him on weekends.”

“DM?”

“Dungeon monitors. You must have had them at the parties you went to.”

“There was like a bouncer guy, but he was mainly by the door.”

Zeke frowned. “There should always be a monitor nearby when playing.”

“What do you do?”

“I basically supervise the play space. When couples play at the club, we monitor them to make sure nothing goes wrong. For example, if a sub calls out their safe word, we make sure the Dom stops.”

“That makes sense.”

“We also make sure no one causes any trouble.”

“Do you get a lot of troublemakers?” A frown marred her forehead.

“Not really. We’ve had a few incidents but nothing that couldn’t be handled.”

“So what time does that leave us? We both work weekdays.”

“We have some options. Dinner most nights of the week, making sure we’re done by ten.” He rubbed her knuckles. “There is also Wicked Sanctuary. If you joined, I have downtime before and after my shift, depending on what hours I’m working.” Her eyes widened, but she stayed silent. “If you’re more comfortable being private for right now, I have Saturdays free until about six, and I have Sunday afternoons.”

“Can we try Saturdays first. I’m open to joining Wicked Sanctuary, but I’d like to get my feet wet before I jump in.”

“That works. Questions?”

“A million.” She flashed him a grin. “How do we do this?”
