“I won.”

“You cheated.”

“That’s a serious charge. What is your proof?”

Kaley couldn’t stop the giggle that bubbled up and escaped. Anthony looked so serious. He frowned at her. Without thought, she twisted out of his hold and ran.

“I’m coming for you,” Anthony yelled.

She laughed and kept running, ducking in and around some of the hedges. He might have won the first round, but she could outsmart him, right? She sent a prayer heavenward and kept running.

After a few minutes, she stopped and listened. She couldn’t hear anything but her own breathing. That wasn’t good. Looking up at the night sky, she tried to figure out her position. Darn, she’d never been very good at science in school.

Maybe a better strategy would be to head back to the club rather than farther into the garden. Okay, she turned to the left. Was that the club? She saw a faint outline in the distance and headed in that direction.

Yes! She was right. Exiting the hedges, she saw the door to the club.

“Mine.” Anthony captured her around her waist and hauled her to him.

“Not fair.”

He laughed, tossed her over his shoulder, and carried her away from the door. She struggled, but not too hard. This was too much fun. “Oh, Sir, what will you do with me?” The giggle that escaped her lips made a mockery of her words.

“Whatever I want.”

They reached one of the clearings, and he set her on her feet. There were fairy lights in the trees and, in the center of the clearing, a covered mattress with pillows and blankets. Of course, his toy bag sat off to the side.

“Someone has been busy.”

“I had to keep busy while you found your way through.”

“Sneaky Dom.”

“Don’t you forget it.” He drew her into his arms. Anthony lowered his head and captured her lips.

Kaley sighed and sank into his kiss. Anthony had been so careful with her these last few weeks, not moving too fast. She was ready for the next step, especially after their impact play scene.

“I lose myself in your kisses,” he whispered against her lips. Capturing her hand, he led her over to the mattress. “Lie down.”

His deep voice sent a shiver of anticipation through her veins. “Yes, Sir.” The sheets were soft against her skin as she laid down

“I’m going to blindfold you.” He held up a black cloth.

“Yes, Sir.” Anthony knelt and tied it around her head, and a tremor went through her body.

“Okay, sweetheart?”

“Green, Sir.” And she was. Even without her sight, her body was on alert to see what he would do next. Kaley relaxed against the mattress and listened.

The call of a bird echoed in the clearing, Anthony’s movements carried to her ears, and she waited. She had no idea what he had in his bag, and the mystery increased her anticipation.

He touched her wrist, and she jumped. “Easy, sweetie.”

Kaley settled down and focused on what Anthony was doing. Furry cuffs were wrapped around her wrists and ankles, then she was bound. Not that she minded; bondage was kind of fun.

“Well, darn. How do you feel about your clothing, sweetheart?”

“What do you mean?” She had on her normal sports bra and boy shorts.
