“It’s okay, Ellie.I’ve got you.”Her head lulled against his shoulder, and he realized he hadn’t removed the blindfold.Once he had her in his lap, he untied the blindfold and took it off.

“Ellie?Sweetheart?”Her breathing had settled a bit, still choppy but slower.He checked her pulse, rapid but nothing to be alarmed about.Someone handed him a bottle of water.He took it without looking up, his focus on Ellie.

Her lashes rose, and she stared at him.“Damn, that was intense, Sir.”

In that moment, Logan knew everything would be okay.He laughed.Ellie did that to him.

* * * *

Ellie snuggled against Logan’s warm body.This man knew how to play her body like a well-tuned instrument.She’d never come so hard or fast from a toy before.But it was more than that.Being blindfolded heightened her other senses.

She heard everything.The murmurs of the crowd, the occasional slap of flesh hitting flesh, probably someone getting spanked.Then there was Logan’s voice, whisky-smooth so that it flowed over her skin in a soft caress.His touch had been sure and gentle.

Even when he pinched her nipples, it wasn’t a lasting pain.Just a slight twinge then pure pleasure.Ellie never thought she’d enjoy something like that.And that toy… Even though she couldn’t see it, it felt like a bullet, but so much more powerful than any she’d ever used.

She shivered, and Logan tightened his arms around her, pulling the blanket closer.Ellie tilted her head back and gazed up into this handsome man’s face.Every time she saw him, she was struck by his looks.

Yes, all the Doms in the club were lookers, but there was something about Logan’s rugged features that drew her in.

“How are you doing?”His voice was husky.

“I’m good, Sir.”Her body was settling down, and she’d begun to feel more like herself.

“Tell me what happened.”

Ellie closed her eyes and rested her head against his shoulder.“I think you know, Sir.”Her face grew hot.

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.Remember: Pleasure is what we’re both after.The club is about freedom.Freedom to relax and enjoy yourself without restraint.”

“I think that happened, Sir.”Logan chuckled, and Ellie couldn’t suppress a smile.He was right.“I didn’t expect to climax, Sir.”

“Why not?”

She opened her eyes to see Logan staring down at her.“I…um…it usually takes more to make me orgasm, Sir.”

His eyebrows rose.“Interesting.”He stroked her arms.“Why do you think you were able to do so tonight?”

Ellie was going to answer that she didn’t know, but stopped herself.Thinking back to their scene, she remembered each sensation, everything she was feeling when the answer hit her.“That’s not possible,” she whispered.

“What isn’t, sweetheart?”

“Sorry, Sir.I was talking to myself.”How could she explain?This was new to her as well.She’d only known Logan, what, about three weeks, unless she counted the time after Sierra’s bachelorette party.But still, this was crazy to her.

“I can hear your brain working.Is it that hard to talk about?”

“A little bit, Sir.”She’d never really had anyone to talk things out with, not since her brother died.Her heart clenched.What would her brother think of Logan?Her smile was wistful, even a little bittersweet.He’d like Logan.“I’m not sure of the protocol when it comes to talking about the men in my past.”She didn’t want Logan to think he didn’t measure up or it was a competition.

“My ego can handle it.”His voice was steady and sure.

“I haven’t had many lovers, Sir.But I can tell you none have ever made me feel like you did tonight.”

“And how did I make you feel?”

Lord, he wanted to know everything.But of course, communication was an important part of the lifestyle, as it should be in any relationship.“Safe, sexy, and worthy of your attention, Sir.”There she said it.

“What the…” Logan’s fingers closed over her chin.“Look at me, please.”

Ellie opened her eyes to see his dark brown gaze filled with concern.
