“What’s wrong with that?”

She shook her head. “Nothing is wrong with it. It just sounds to me like you might feel bad about your kinks after all.”

“Or I just enjoy spoiling women as much as I enjoy degrading them.”

“I suppose that’s possible. Just so long as you know you don’t have to buy me expensive things. I really like my necklace, though.”

He traced the piece of jewelry and kissed the top of her head. “I want to buy you nice things. But I also don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”

There was a knock at the door, and Noah nudged her forward so he could step out.

“Speaking of buying you stuff,” he said, as he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist.

She frowned. What did that mean.

She listened intently as he greeted whoever was at the door, but the voices were too muffled for her to pick up anything useful.

When the door closed again, she stood and pulled the plug on the bathwater and got towels for herself.

Noah came in just as she was drying off.

“Let me do that,” he said, holding his hand out for the towel.

She handed it to him and let him run it all over her body. When she was dry to his satisfaction, he pulled tossed the towel aside and pulled her into the bedroom.

Three shopping bags were sitting on the bed, and she frowned at him.

“What did you do?”

“I had to replace your dress, but I wasn’t sure what you were planning to wear to class.”

He pulled on his boxers and slacks and waited for her to open the bags.

She poked around in the first one and found an assortment of underwear and bras. The second one held four blouses and two dresses and the last one held two pairs of jeans, a pair of linen pants, and a skirt.

“How did you arrange this so fast?”

“The hotel has a stylist on staff and I sent her to do some quick shopping based on the size of your dress.”

“That’s impressive.”

“Well, hurry and pick something, sweetheart. We have to get you to campus before my next meeting.”

She looked at the clock on the nightstand beside the bed. Shit. It was later than she realized. She grabbed a pair of jeans, a blouse, a pair of panties, and a bra.

He reached over and snatched the panties out of her hand.

“I didn’t say you could wear those.”

She blushed and shook her head at him. “You’re ridiculous. I asked earlier today.”

He laughed and passed them back to her. “Fine.”

Fifteen minutes later she was dressed, and they were walking out of the hotel hand in hand.
