I reach over and cup her chin my palm, then slide my fingers to press against her throat. Not cutting off her air, just so I can feel the flutter of her pulse.
“Can you wait that long? Do you need it tonight? Be honest with me.”
She swallows hard. “I’d like it tonight, but it feels like I’m asking too much.”
I agree. Not that she’s asking too much, but that a scene tonight would be rushed. Phone sex could give her what she needs and would release a little of the constant, pounding pressure in my nuts when I think about this girl. “How about I call you and we do a scene over the phone?”
“No scene tomorrow?” Her black brows draw together and her pulse pounds against my fingers.
“Definitely a scene tomorrow. I’d say eight, but you know Emily’s going to want to feed us first if we’re doing the scene here.”
The grin finally breaks through her anxiety. “You’re not wrong about that.”
“When do you finish tomorrow?”
“Six. I could be here for six-thirty.”
“Sounds like a plan.” I stroke her throat. “Rules between then and now.”
I watch her eyes. Her inky pupils expand, and her throat vibrates against my fingers as she swallows. She’s aroused by the idea of me topping her until our next scene. “Yes, sir?”
“Do you normally wear a plug?”
“Not unless I’m in scene.”
“Do you have a favorite plug?”
“I do.”
“Tonight, after you finish work, you’ll put your favorite plug in. Tomorrow, you’ll take it out before you go to work. When you finish work and before you come over, you’ll put the plug back in. I’ll decide when it comes out, but understand you’ll be wearing it through dinner. You can remove it to relube, eliminate, and clean yourself.”
Her lips tremble and she folds them between her teeth. That’s her nervous tell, but with those pupils of hers blown all to fuck, she’s also aroused. I stroke her throat to enjoy the satin of her skin against my fingers and so she feels my touch in that vulnerable area.
“Any questions?”
“No, sir.”
“I’d like a text when you wake up, just saying good morning, but there will be no consequences if you don’t. It’s purely to let me know you’re awake and are starting your day in a submissive place. The plug does carry consequences. Fail to follow the rules of the plug and the consequences are a stroke of a Delrin rod on your ass with no warm-up for each infraction. Any questions?”
Another hard swallow before she shakes her head. “No, sir.”
“Last thing. Before you come to dinner tomorrow, I’d like you to write me out a list of three fantasies. You can make them as cursory or as detailed as you like, because we’re going to talk them through anyway. But I’d like three.”
“Things I’ve done before or that I’ve never done?”
“Totally up to you, sweetheart. Don’t worry about how practical they are, or how big or small. Just three fantasies.”
Her smile peeks through again. “That’s a fun assignment, sir.”
“I hope so.” I like giving assignments before formal scenes, as part of the submissive “earning” the scene, but I’ll see how Brenna does with this one before I take it any further. “Anything you want to ask me before we wrap up?”
She blinks rapidly. That’s another tell, I suspect. She’s thinking hard. Her eyes widen. “I never showed you the designs for your mermaid.”
I chuckle and stroke her jaw with my thumb. “Bring it to dinner tomorrow and we’ll get Logan and Emily’s input. I’m confident you’ll do me proud, Brenna.”
More rapid blinks. “You are?”
“I am.” I’d be happy just with the design Emily showed me, so I’m not worried about liking whatever she comes up with. “I usually end scenes with a kiss. This wasn’t a scene, but I’d still like to kiss you before you go. You can say no if you don’t want a kiss today. It’s not a problem. Also, if I haven’t said it before, your safe words always work. Always. No matter what we’re doing.”
