night?”
    “She told me she hadn’t been able to look at you during dinner because she was afraid everyone at the table would see how much she wanted you, and what she wanted from you. She said she wanted to be Cameron on the leash.” Sam took her first bite, swallowed, and added, “She’d looked some stuff up, but the online stuff looked mean. I think she was a little starry-eyed over the way Cam and I danced, too. Apparently some part of her psyche recognized Cam and I are the same, she just couldn’t figure it out.”
    Frisco nodded and Sam continued. “I asked her if she’d be okay dating someone who whips men, and paddles them, and makes them clean his house and wash his car. She said that’d be great if he made them give her massages and wash her car, too.” Frisco laughed and shook his head, and Sam asked, “You’ve never considered the idea of a woman who might be okay with knowing who you truly are?”
    He wanted to get up and walk out, but said, “No. What kind of a woman could like…”
    He trailed off and Sam said, “I could probably introduce you to a half a dozen off the top of my head, more if I put some thought into it.”
    He could only glare at her, and Sam continued without appearing to notice his disgruntled attitude. “I think she said something about needing to know she’d meet everyone you played with, and could watch sometimes. I got the idea she’d want to do more than watch.” Sam raised her eyebrows. “How do you feel about playing with a submissive man and woman at the same time?”
    His cock liked the idea, but it was never going to happen. Sam seemed to be waiting for a response, though, so he rolled his eyes at her.
    She smiled and continued. “I pointed out she’s turned you down so many times you may never ask her out again, and she said you hadn’t flirted with her since my bachelorette party.”
    “Did she tell you to put her on her knees in front of me?” Yeah, he was still a little ticked over that. He understood Sam was trying to take care of Cassie, but there were other ways to go about it.
    “Nope, I gave her the speech about the lifestyle requiring you be completely and totally honest with your partner, and told her if she wanted to be Cameron on the leash she’d have to tell you. I got the impression she wasn’t likely to tell you — ever — so I told her I’d see if you’d explain the kink to her, to get the conversation started.”
    She’d been right, of course. Cassie would’ve never volunteered that kind of information. He shook his head. “You have a helluva way of getting a conversation started.”
    “Why hasn’t Cassie returned my text? Should I be worried?”
    “I haven’t been to sleep yet.” He looked at his watch. “She went home and crashed.”
    Sam took a breath, blew it out. “Okay, don’t provide any details you aren’t comfortable sharing, but please at least give me a rough outline of how things went?”
    He shook his head again. “It’s like she was just waiting for someone to come along and give her orders. I stuck to mostly sensation play, and since she’d already talked about the blindfold…” He shrugged and continued. “I took her to Waffle House around three this morning for breakfast. We dropped her car off at her house and drove up Lookout Mountain, and were on the View Trail in time to see the sunrise.”
    “And you talked there until you took her home and put her to bed?” He nodded and she asked, “What did the two of you talk about?”
    “I got a complete rundown of how she felt about every aspect of the scene, the parts she loved, the parts she’s not too sure about. We talked about her mom, her dad, her therapist, the relationship she has with both parents now.”
    “Did you talk about your mom, your sisters, how you felt about the scene?”
    He worked hard not to roll his eyes at her again. “No, this was about her, not me.”
    Sam rolled her eyes and said, “Men can be such idiots.”
    He
