argument ending
with animalistic sex. I really don’t know a damn thing about how
you feel for me, or how far you’d go for me.”
    Trying not to feel the hurt that started
working up inside of him, he sighed. “I’m here now, aren’t I?”
    “Yeah, about that, I think it’s out of guilt
that you’re here and nothing more.” Hearing her tone he knew a
fight was brewing, and the remainder of her tears released. He knew
what would be next by the way her eyebrows pulled together.
    “Roxi. Shhhh.” He pressed a finger to her
lips knowing she would argue with what he was about to say. “Just
kiss me, Angel.” She didn’t move, and the look she gave him said he
was crazy. But when he moved in to kiss her on the lips, she didn’t
pull away. When he used her pet name she behaved like a good little
sub.
    The kisses grew harder, deeper, and wetter.
His dick sprang to life and she rubbed against his hardness, and
that’s when he pulled back. “Let’s take this slow. I want you, but
you’re still injured. When you’re well again, I want to make love
to you slowly and carefully. Don’t argue me about it. I won’t
change my mind.” He stroked her skin up the length of her arm.
    She drew in a deep breath, exhaled, and
rolled over. “Good night, Sir.”
    He slid over and spooned her from behind.
Kissing the back of her head, he said, “Good night, Angel.”

    When Roxi woke, a bright light shone in from
a crack in the curtains, and the bed next to her was empty. She
smelled coffee. Heading out to the kitchen, she saw Jonathan
reading the newspaper in the living room. Taking up residence in
front of him, she sat on the edge of the coffee table. “About last
night, I’m sorry I behaved the way I did. Now, in the morning’s
light, I know I acted without thinking, it was stupid of me.”
    He folded the newspaper and set it on the
couch beside him. With a blank look on his face, he gave her a curt
nod. “It’s okay, I understand.”
    “You do?” Her voice sounded in a surprised
tone.
    “You have needs, and I get that.” He smiled
at her and she found herself smiling back. “But, I want to be your
Dom of choice when those needs arise again. I will not be your
Master though. That ship has sailed.”
    Even though that last part stung and she
wanted him to be her Master, she knew he was taking a big step with
his offer. She was elated that he wanted to dominate her, so she’d
find a way to be happy with just that. “Jonathan I would love that,
but you have to understand something. I’ve changed. I’ve embraced
what I am, and I don’t think you have.”
    “You mean the pain slut part of it?” Pushing
to the edge of the couch he rested his elbows on his thighs. “I can
deal.”
    She rose and shifted from foot to foot in a
rocking motion. “I don’t understand. You were so against using the
whip on me.”
    “During our last scene together before you
left me, I saw desire in your eyes when you asked me to whip you.
Your face, body, and soul cried out to me during our play session.
I knew in that moment you truly enjoyed the pain. I never said
anything to anyone about it. That’s your decision to make if you
want people to know.” He pulled her onto his lap. “I took classes
on how to administer pain in a safe way, and how to throw a
bullwhip. I did that for you in the hopes you’d be back, but by
month three when you hadn’t returned or contacted me, I pretty much
lost hope of ever seeing you again. I did so well at throwing that
my instructors encouraged me to learn more and enter contests. I
did that for a while and then lost interest. My heart wasn’t into
it.” Depositing her on the couch next to him, he stood and shoved
his hands into his pockets looking a bit distressed.
    “Why? What happened?” She searched his eyes
trying to read his mood.
    “You left me, and when you did, you took my
heart with you.” He looked away from her.
    Roxi gasped and her chest tightened in
response to his
