He never made her feel like she was weird, or odd, or ashamed of her sexual needs. Not that he couldn’t keep up with her. His appetite was just as strong as hers. Of course, there were those days where he’d tease her mercilessly, and she wanted to hit him over the head, but she did find ways to tease him as well.

She’d never been so in sync with a man, a lover, and she wasn’t sure how she would give him up. They had four days left together. Four short days. Her heart tightened. Angie glanced up at Jared’s relaxed face. She rarely woke before he did.

But she hadn’t been able to control her excitement and anxiety about today. He told her last night, they would have anal sex today. A shiver slid through her body.

Jared’s arms tightened around her, and their gazes connected.

“Good morning,” she said.

“Morning.” He brushed his lips over her forehead. “I can feel you thinking. Are you worried about today?”

Damn, he was so good at reading her. “A little.”

“You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. It’s okay to make it a hard limit.”

He was giving her a way out. So typical of Jared. He might be a Dominant, but he also took very good care of her. He was constantly reminding her to use her safe words if there was something she was uncomfortable with.

What she couldn’t make him understand was that she didn’t want to use the safe words. Each day, she anticipated what he had planned. Very little made her nervous or upset now. Even today, while she was a little anxious about anal sex, deep down, she knew it would be fine.

It wasn’t like Jared hadn’t prepared her. Each day, he’d put larger butt plugs in her, stretching her. And while the last one had been a bit uncomfortable, she still accepted it. “I want to do this.”

“Wonderful.” He gave her a soft kiss. “Shower, food, then we’ll go into the playroom.”

“We’re not working this morning?” They’d been working side-by-side, and Angie found she really enjoyed the office time with Jared. Another thing she never experienced before. She’d always been a loner at work, and her co-workers came to her for help all the time, but with Jared, they were able to work together. The man was as intelligent as he was handsome and virile.

“No work. Today, I’m going to take my time.” He slipped from the bed and stretched, his cock erect.

Angie swallowed. How different was this going to be from a butt plug? What if she let Jared down? She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she climbed out of bed. Together, they walked into the bathroom. Another new thing with her—Jared enjoyed shower sex.

“Baby, you’re too tense,” Jared said two hours later. They’d made love in the shower, had a good breakfast, and chatted and laughed before they went to the playroom. Now, she was tense as a board.

“I know.” What was wrong with her? Jared had been considerate all morning, and her body was ready for him, so why couldn’t she relax. Was she afraid? She didn’t think so, but her brain refused to listen to her body.

“Want to talk about what’s going on?”

“If I knew, I’d tell you.” She blew out a frustrated breath. “I don’t know what’s wrong.”

“Maybe I’m going at this the wrong way.”

“What do you mean?”

“Go get on the bed and put the wedge under your back. Spread your legs.”

Her core clenched. Is this what she needed? To know she wasn’t in control of what was about to happen? Angie arranged herself on the bed over the wedge.

She turned her head to watch Jared, and he strolled over to the cabinets and began removing restraints, lube, a small case, and a few other items she couldn’t quite make out. He sauntered over to the bed and set everything down out of her sight.

“I can smell your arousal.” He picked up the restraints and fastened them around her wrists and the other end to the headboard. “Close your eyes.”

She did.

“Your nipples are hard.”

“Yes.” They were from the second he ordered her to get on the bed. Her body was primed for his commands, and she didn’t mind it.

The sound of a bottle being opened made her flinch.
