“I can’t stay long,” I said as I pulled away, resting my forehead on hers.
“Do you have enough time for a tour?”
“A tour and a little more.”
Her eyes flashed with excitement as she led me into the apartment. I was immediately impressed by how well they utilized a small space.
“Hey, Lily, meet Luc,” Kylie said as she introduced me to an attractive blond around her age.
Lily stood, her hand reaching out to shake mine. “Hi, Luc. Lily Bradshaw.”
The name sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place it.
“Nice to meet you, Luc LeCompte.”
“I won’t keep you. I’m headed to bed, and I’m sure Kylie wants to give you the tour. It was nice meeting you.”
“You as well.”
I handed Kylie the bottle of champagne, and she winked at me, “Sounds like we won’t be opening this tonight.”
“Sadly, no. But show me around.”
“Well, outside of the in-unit laundry, the highlight is my room. Come and see.”
I followed her down the hallway, past a bathroom that was generous for a smaller apartment, to her bedroom. Although it was small, she had a large bookshelf filled with both classics and well-worn paperbacks. She had also managed to fit a queen bed, and I immediately assessed the headboard. Yep, it had potential.
“Do you like what you see?” she asked, her eyes following my gaze.
“I do.”
She pushed the door closed behind me, and I heard the latch click.
“What are you thinking?”
I approached the headboard and ran my fingers along the tall, mahogany rails.
“I can work with this.”
“How?” she asked breathlessly.
“Oh, Kylie, I promise you it will be better if you’re surprised.”
I pulled a throw pillow off her bed and tossed it to the hardwood floor.
“On your knees, baby.”
Kylie’s eyes flashed with excitement. She dropped down immediately, resting her hands on her lap.
I rewarded her by gently stroking her cheeks with my thumb. She sighed, her head resting in the palm of my hand.
“I bought you a book in Minnesota; it’s in my car. I would like you to read it during my next road trip. Do you know anything about a praise kink?”
“Yes, I’ve read something about it before.”
“Reddit?”
She blushed, “Yes.”
