Tears rimmed her stunning blue eyes and he saw happiness in them. It occurred to him then she doubted what he felt toward her. She had given him something special, something he had long searched for. He wasn’t going to hold back and not share his thoughts with her. “You are the first woman who has outlasted me.”
Her shock returned. “I am?”
He nodded and hoped his expression showed his pride. “You didn’t once use your safeword.” He still had difficulty accepting that truth. Women who had been in the lifestyle for years always pulled it out because he pushed them beyond their limits. Josie never cracked. It’s what fuelled his desires. “I’m not sure I can explain to you what this experience tonight meant for me.”
“Try to….” Her tone sounded eager and he knew part of it was because she needed reassurance and acceptance. He wouldn’t deny her.
He took a moment to ponder it all to make sure he got his words right. After a lingering moment, he gathered his thoughts enough to be sure he made sense. “The feeling you have right now, the one which says you are fulfilled and you have pleased someone else beyond measure—I have never experienced such a feeling.”
Her eyes widened. “Ever?”
“No.” He shook his head, finding her incredulousness endearing. “I have been a Dom to many, some for a short time, some for longer, but I’ve never reached my climax of feeling satisfied. You have given me that tonight.”
She smiled, and it warmed him. “Well, I’m glad to know I am not the only one who experienced a mind-blowingly satisfying moment tonight.”
He chuckled.
She leaned forward, her lips coming so close to his. “Are you giving me a choice?” Her playful tone sparked an attraction to both her submissive side, and her personality as well. “Doesn’t that go against the grain, so to speak?”
He understood why she’d carry those thoughts. She was new to the lifestyle and she didn’t have a full understanding of what that lifestyle entailed. He needed to set her straight. “In scenes, we hold these roles. In life, I want you to have a voice.”
“In life?” she repeated.
Clearly, she hadn’t missed his intention. Yes, undeniably, he wanted to be her Dom. However, more lived within him. Something he never expected to find and something he suspected she felt, too. “I know this is all so sudden.” He brushed his knuckles against her cheek. “But I’d like to get to know you better, not just as your Dom, but as a man, as well.”
Her eyes filled with the same happiness in his own heart before she smiled in the most darling of ways. “I’d like that too.”
Joy filled him as he closed the distance to capture her lips. Her kisses were just as he expected, soft and submissive.
The night may have been a matchmaking provided by Madame Eve, but now much more existed here. His heart warmed at the thought of showing her more, teaching her things she couldn’t even think herself capable of, and sinking his cock into her sweet body.
He’d never dreamed of experiencing love at first sight, the possibility of a soul mate, yet he’d just been proven wrong. He’d found her.
His submissive—forever bound.
