“No, minx. I have something else for you before we get to that.”
“I don’t want a present,” she told him. “I only want you.”
“That’s why I have a present for you. I’m contrary like that,” he teased.
Audrey couldn’t help but giggle. He withdrew from her and strode to a bamboo cabinet nearby, pulling out a drawer and removing a small, blue velvet bag from inside. He came back and offered it to her.
“What is it?”
He smiled, and his eyes gleamed. “Open it.”
There was something important going on; Audrey sensed it. This was not chocolates or a pearl necklace to match the pearl earrings he’d given her the Friday before. Intuition prickled Audrey’s nerve endings. She couldn’t open it. That would be like making a commitment. Was she ready for that?
Smiling gently, trying to soften her rejection, she said, “No, Owen. Hold onto it.”
“You don’t even know what it is,” he said, hiding his hands behind his back so she couldn’t put the bag in them.
“Owen…”
“I want you to have it, Audrey. I want this.”
But did she want it? “I can’t.”
“Yes, you can. You agreed to take a chance on me. Do you regret it?”
“No…but you’re asking a lot.”
“I haven’t asked anything at all,” he pointed out.
“But, Owen…”
“No buts. If you don’t open it, I’ll spank you.”
Audrey bit her lip. Some spankings were pretty nice, but others left a lot to be desired. Owen hadn’t spanked her in reality, only in the RAVE. Audrey had a feeling it would be eye opening in the real world.
She was scared. What if the bag held what she thought it held? What would she say or do? She loved Owen and he loved her. Was she being overly cautious?
She thrust the bag back toward him, pressing it against his hard belly. “Please don’t make me.”
“Don’t make you what?” Now he was sounding a little perturbed.
“Don’t make me decide. Don’t. Please.”
“Okay. I’ll tell you what you’re going to do. You are going to open that bag and the box inside, and you are going to talk to me about your feelings. You’re not going to deny them or try to talk yourself into or out of anything. I can see the tension on your face. You are doing what you always do and second-guessing your feelings.”
Audrey knew perfectly well that she was, but she snapped, “No, I’m not.”
“Audrey, do you want me to spank you? Is this how you ask?”
“No!”
His jaw tightened. “I think it is. Take off your panties.”
“I won’t.”
He ripped one side of her panties, and next the other. “Okay. You don’t have to.”
“Owen!” Audrey squirmed as he pulled her torn panties off her and tossed them on the floor.
He pointed. “Up on the massage table.”
“No!”
“Now!”
“Owen, you’re being a brute!”
“Are you going to open my gift?”
Audrey didn’t know why she was being so stubborn, provoking an argument with him. If it was what she thought it was, she could simply say no. The problem was, she wanted to say yes. She wanted it more than anything else she could think of. But was it the smart thing to do? She had made so many stupid decisions in her life and she didn’t want to mess up the one that could be the most important one ever. If she opened the box, it was saying yes.
Apparently, Owen made a decision for her as she hesitated. He took the bag from her hands and tossed it onto a chair, then scooped her up and took her to the massage table, where he laid her down and forced her to roll over. No sooner was she face down than he smacked her behind hard.
“That’s for being stubborn!”
“Ouch!” She tried to push up off the table, but Owen held her down with a hand to the small of her back. Another smack landed on her butt.
“That’s for being difficult!”
Audrey cried out, more with surprise than pain. Those two swats were nothing in comparison to the spankings she had experienced in her dream. But this was reality…it was possible there was a lot worse to come.
Three more swats on her behind and Audrey realized that dream spankings were a walk in the park. “Ow!”
Owen began to pepper her ass with spank after spank. “You’re going to open that bag and you’re going to listen to me. That’s all I ask.”
“Owen! Ouch! Ouch! Stop!” Her voice echoed around the quiet room.
The spanks were coming too fast. She didn’t know how many had been laid upon her smarting bottom, but the heat was growing, the sting rising in intensity. “Audrey!”
She couldn’t answer. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and into the little face hole in the table. Audrey’s watery answer was lost for a long moment as the blows continued and her bottom became one big fireball.
“I’m going to keep spanking you, until you agree to open the bag.”
Sobbing, Audrey nodded her head. It was a futile gesture, considering her position on the table. He swatted her several more times before she could raise her voice beyond a blubber. “Yes! Yes, I’ll open the bag.”
“One more because you pissed me off,” he said, giving her another swat, exactly where her behind and thighs made a cross.
“Ow! You big meanie!”
“You can get up now.” In fact, he helped her to sit up, but her ass was sore, so she stood almost immediately.
“You hurt me.”
“I did you no harm.”
“That was much worse than in the RAVE.”
Owen chuckled. “No surprise there. Sex is better in reality, too.”
Audrey didn’t quite know what to say to that. Owen wrapped his arms around her and held her tight while her tears abated. Eventually, she was only hiccoughing a little, so he pulled away, tilting her face up to his. “Naughty girl,” he whispered.
Audrey plucked up a tail of his shirt and wiped her nose, giving him a satisfied expression when he looked at her incredulously.
“I ought to tan your rear some more.”
Maybe her gesture of defiance had been a bad idea. “Please don’t.”
Owen stepped away and got the velvet bag off the chair. “I won’t, if you open the bag.”
Sighing, resigned to more difficulties, Audrey opened the drawstring and found a small box inside. It was a ring box and she knew, knew with all of her heart, what lay inside. Dreading the upcoming confrontation, Audrey slowly opened the box. Inside was a tiny gold key. Only a key. Not the engagement ring she’d expected. Relief warred with disappointment in her breast.
She looked up into his eyes and found him grinning.
“Feel a little silly now?”
Audrey nodded. “What does this mean?”
“It’s the key to my heart.”
Love swelled inside her like the beauty of an inflating hot air balloon. There were no words for how she felt, so she stayed silent.
“It fits a small box on the chest in the master bedroom. Inside the box is a ring.”
“Oh!”
“Don’t go getting all skittish again. When you’re ready, and not a moment before you are ready, use that key. The decision and timing are up to you. I’ll be here.”
“Oh, Owen.”
He closed the box and enfolded it in their two clasped hands. “Remember, not before you’re ready.”
The overwhelming feeling of joy dripped down Audrey’s cheeks as hot tears. “Thank you,” she said on a breath.
Owen wiped away some of her tears and cupped the back of her head as he came close for a kiss. “Shall we do something to celebrate the end of the argument?”
Audrey couldn’t answer. He took her breath away with kisses.
Separating, he nodded toward the big chair where he’d tossed the bag earlier. “Over there.”
All Audrey could do was nod and watch him as he sh
ucked his clothes. His erection was proud, his bottom tight as he sauntered to the chair and sat down. Patting his lap, he nodded for her to come to him.
“Astride.”
Audrey positioned herself with knees on either side of his hips but he didn’t ask her to mount immediately. Instead he spent time making sure she was wet, so wet she dripped on him, giving his rampant cock a gleam.
“Ready?” he asked, as she swayed in his lap.
“Yes.”
He smacked her behind, not too hard. “Mount up, honey.”
Guiding him in, she settled herself down on his cock. It felt fabulous to be filled with him, to be joined with him. He had given her the key to his heart, not an ultimatum, not an onerous decision that had to be made right now. He understood her, accepted her the way she was—sometimes indecisive, sometime torn up inside with the fear of taking chances.
She rocked on him, slowly at first, but as he directed her, she moved more rapidly, pulling him upward with the strong grip of her eager pussy.
“Mmm.”
The momentum was building, Audrey’s belly was doing somersaults, and her thighs were twitching with exertion and excitement. She moaned with pleasure.
“Good, good,” he said, softly. The sound of his voice excited her more.
She was on the brink, the edge of the skyscraper, about to fall a million levels, but never to hit bottom. She leapt toward her uncertain future and came with a resounding cry. Owen held her steady for a moment, as she pulsed around him, then coaxed her to a few more firm movements on his cock. He groaned deeply as he spurted inside her.
She was warm, content, leaning into Owen, his arms around her. She possessed the key to his heart. “I love you,” she told him.
“I love you, too, Audrey. You are my dream girl, and dreams really can come true.”

I began writing for publication at age seven, when a poem I wrote was printed in a children’s magazine. A long time went by before I got interested in further publications. I guess I was resting on my laurels.
These days, I am living in a city I’m not fond of, but with a partner I couldn’t live without.
Things to note: my books are all romances, in that they are about people falling in love and living happily ever after. They also have quite a bit of erotic/adult content, so be ready for the spicy stuff.
Enjoy!
