Page 69 of Dirty Discipline, Vol. 1

Damn he loves her witty sass. “Oh baby, wait until you see the big ‘ole box I brought.”

They somehow manage to get the door closed behind them before they fall into each other’s arms. Their bodies snap together like magnets. They haven’t even made it more than a few feet into the darkened room. With their height difference, Troy lifts her higher and Hallie wraps her legs around his waist, linking them behind his back to press her core against his hardening cock. The warmth of her in his arms feels perfect.

Refusing to release her, Troy pulls out of their open-mouth kiss long enough to carry her through the room lit only by the ski village streetlights pouring through the expansive wall of windows. He loves how she nestles her lips against the tender spot where his neck meets his shoulder, placing urgent kisses along his collarbone.

Troy gently lays Hallie down on the king-size bed and reaches to turn on the small bedside lamp. It casts a muted light on the space that he’s grateful for, as it doesn’t ruin the romantic mood he wants to set for their first time making love.

Troy can now see Hallie clearly, and if he had any doubts that she was a willing participant in what was about to happen, his doubts are gone. He has never seen a woman look as innocent and perfectly sexy all at the same time.

He stands transfixed, lost in making this special moment last, until Hallie herself reaches for his hand, linking their fingers, and smiling up at him. “I’m ready, Troy. I trust you.”

Emotions choke him and he has to clear his throat before he can speak. “Your trust means the world to me, Hallie. Especially because… well, how we met.” Their eyes remain locked until Hallie pushes up to her knees, kneeling on the edge of the bed directly in front of Troy. She reaches out to hug his waist to steady her.

“I know we still have a lot to talk about, and I’m counting on you helping me figure some things out, but can’t we wait until later to talk about all of the… well… you know.”

Troy suspects they’re doing things backwards. What happens if they fall harder, but then find out Hallie can never accept a domestic discipline way of life? He’s come to the conclusion that he’ll only be happy in a DD marriage and if Hallie can never consent to his discipline, he could be about to take them both down a very dangerous path that could end up in a heart break for either or both of them. Hallie is looking up to him with trusting adoration and he wants nothing more than to consume her in every way, but he can’t shake the feeling that he’s taking advantage of her.

“Don’t do it, Troy. I can tell you’re worried you’re rushing me.” Obviously, she has a pretty good beat on his emotions.

“Aw Hallie, honey. I want you more than I’ve ever wanted any other woman, but that’s the problem. I also want you to be happy. To feel safe. I feel like it’s my job to protect you, even if that means from myself. Honey, what happens if you decide you can’t accept the domestic discipline way of life? Where is that going to leave us down the road?”

Hallie’s smile has a twinge of sadness to it. “I just thought of a saying my mom used to say. I haven’t thought of it in like forever, but it just seems to fit. She said it to me a thousand times when I would get wound up trying to figure everything out in my future. She would tell me to take one day at a time and everything would work out. That’s what we need to do, Troy. Let’s just worry about today, okay?”

“She sounds like a smart lady.”

“I miss her. She would have loved you.”

“How do you know that?”

Hallie hesitates before answering. “Because you make me feel safe. It was one of the last conversations we had. She felt like she’d failed me because she hadn’t kept me safe. That is what she wished for me. To find my place in the world where I could be happy and feel protected.”

“God, I want to be that safe place for you, Hallie. Thank you for giving me a shot at it.”

“Well, you’ve got more than a shot, Troy, considering I already trusted you to teach me to ski. I mean, I never in a million years would have said I would try that again, yet I had fun today. I have a feeling you’re going to be very good at guiding me through other things for the first time too, aren’t you?” He can hear the hope in her voice.

“Hell yes, if you’ll let me.”

“I think it’s time to guide me through taking our clothes off. I want you so fucking bad.”

Troy laughs a relieved chuckle. “Finally, the appropriate place for that potty mouth of yours.”

Troy reaches down to the hem of her heavy sweater, pulling it up and over her head as she raises her arms to help. The form-fitting camisole underneath shows the swell of her perfectly curved breasts. He can see the rapid rise and fall of her chest as she allows the sexual energy to charge. Their eyes are locked on each other as he reaches out to unbutton her jeans before slowly unzipping her fly, pulling her jeans wide and pushing them down her legs to pool at her knees where they meet the bed. He can’t resist sliding his hands down her lower back to cup her perfectly curvy ass, squeezing gently over her boy-short panties.

He sees the humor dancing in her eyes. “You really are an ass man, aren’t you?”

“You’ve caught me. Guilty as charged.” Troy can’t stop his grin.

“That might explain a few things.” He’s relieved at her playful banter regarding anything related to her ass, but doesn’t have long to think about it as Hallie has begun to reciprocate by unbuttoning his heavy flannel shirt and uncovering his black T-shirt. She pushes his shirt to pool on the floor near her own discarded sweater before moving to his jeans. He can feel her struggling with the button fly and reaches down to help her before pushing his jeans down, kicking first his shoes and then pants off. His socks quickly follow.

They are down to underwear when Hallie smiles broadly. “I feel like we are both unwrapping more presents to each other.”

“Oh baby, this is by far the best gift I’ve ever gotten.”

“Well, considering I didn’t get you a Christmas gift yet, you can consider this part one. I already have another gift on the way that should be there when we get home tomorrow.”

“Hallie, you didn’t need to buy me anything. I know you had to leave without anything and you need to save your money until you get settled.”

“Don’t worry about it. Uncle Adam got me access to my old bank account and believe it or not, I do have a nice little nest egg saved up. It should be enough to give me time to figure out everything.”
