“It’s an extension of a safeword. Instead of only saying red when you want me to stop, I’ll also be asking for check-ins. If things are good and you don’t need anything to change, you’ll say green. If you need something to slow down, you say yellow. And of course, red stops everything and we’re done for the night. You can also say yellow any time even if I haven’t asked for a check-in.”

“OK.”

“Try again, Reva.”

Her name was harsh on his lips, but she loved it.

“Yes, Sir,” she corrected as she tried to work up the nerve to look him in the eye. He closed the distance between them and tucked a hand under her chin, forcing her gaze upward.

“You sure this is what you want?”

“Positive, Sir. I’ve never wanted anything more.”

His lips turned up in a devious smirk, and he leaned in and kissed her cheek. “Good girl. You’re going to go take a shower, and we’ll talk when you’re done.”

Talking was the last thing on her mind, but she was determined to follow his lead and see where he took her, so she dropped her purse on the entry table and made a beeline for the bathroom.

“Leave the door open,” he called before she closed it.

She stared at herself in the mirror as she stripped out of the outfit she’d chosen for her visit to Exposure. The club was gorgeous, but the atmosphere wasn’t what she’d expected. Sexual energy coursed through the place, but it was fun, and people everywhere were laughing and having a good time. It didn’t seem dark and mysterious like her books often made places like that out to be. Exposure seemed like a place she could relax and spend time with friends. But it was also a place to have mind-blowing experiences in, and that was the part she was most interested in.

Thirty days as Noah’s submissive. It probably wasn’t smart, considering she knew very little about him. But so far, he’d done nothing to make her uncomfortable. In fact, he’d done nothing but make her feel safe.

She only hoped she could live up to whatever his standards were.

In the shower, she avoided getting her hair wet, not wanting to have the headache of drying it later. Her hands roamed her body as she rinsed the day away. When she came to her pussy, she couldn’t resist running a finger over her already sensitive clit.

“Naughty girl.”

She jumped at the sound of his voice and turned to find him standing outside the shower, loosening his tie.

“Keep going. I’ll teach you not to touch without permission soon enough.”

She watched, mesmerized, as he unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall to the ground.

“I told you to keep going, Reva.”

Her eyes drifted closed, and she found her clit again. It pulsed beneath her fingers, and her breaths quickly became ragged.

The clink of his belt as the buckle hit the tile floor startled her, and she opened her eyes in time to catch sight of his cock as he pulled his boxers down. It was hard and hung heavy between his thighs, and she wanted it inside her.

The shower door opened, and he stepped inside still holding his tie.

He stood in front of her and picked up the hand that wasn’t currently touching her clit and kissed the back of her wrist. Then he pulled the other one free and stuck her finger in his mouth.

“You taste delicious. I’ll have to indulge later.”

His eyes never left hers as he gripped both wrists in one hand and wrapped the tie around them. After that, he raised her arms above her head and secured the tie to the shower head. So much for not getting her hair wet.

“Spread your legs.” He nudged them apart with his knee as he bent and pulled one nipple into his mouth.

“From now on, touching yourself is off limits.” He cupped her pussy and dragged one finger through her slit. “This is mine. If I want you to have pleasure, I’ll give it to you. If I want you to experience pain, that’s mine to give you as well.”

Without warning, he drew his hand back and smacked her pussy hard. She cried out and let her head fall back. The water coursed over her face, and she spluttered when it went up her nose.

“What’s the rule Reva?”

“No touching myself, Sir,” she whimpered while he circled her clit with his index finger.
