What had I done?

I still hadn’t figured it out even after I’d eaten two cookies, so I glared at him as I grabbed a third.

“You can’t cheat.” Well, he probably could since he was smart and the Dom, but I had to make it hard so he couldn’t cheat too easily. “I read my contract.”

We really should’ve put more details into it but I wasn’t going to point that out. I was pretty sure that wouldn’t end up working in myfavor.

“I’m glad.” He kissed my head that time and snuggled me against his chest as he bribed me with another cookie. “I like it when you read about our relationship.”

Instead of a dirty book?

No, I wasn’t going to get sidetracked on that either.

“So you can’t cheat. I just want to make sure you realize that.” Yep, that was all I was thinking about. “And it didn’t say I had to talk about stuff.”

Strategic error but that was okay.

“I’m fine with you not talking about anything you don’t want to talk about.” He was far too agreeable, so I knew I had to worry about what else my innocent-looking Dom was going to say. “As long as you don’t safeword and I stick within your limits, I don’t actually need you to talk. That is in our contract too.”

Shit.

Fine print got me every time.

“That…I…” Shoot. “But I don’t have to talk.”

It didn’t say I had to.

“That’s right.” Micha was still wearing his easygoing smile as he ran his hand over my head. “I’m going to take good care of you in our scene and we’re going to have fun, but you don’t have to say anything you don’t want to.”

Oh dear.

“I…” I didn’t have to talk if I didn’t want to. “Um. Well, you do what you have to.”

Yep.

Micha nodded. “Because I’m your Dom and some things are up to me.”

Unfortunately.

“Some things are up to me. Like…like buying the groceries because you never come home with snacks.” He just stuck to the list and it was painful. If I wanted snacks and cookies, I had to remember to put them on the list and tattle on myself. That sucked. “You don’t think about dessert either, even when the cookies and ice cream go on sale on thosebuy one get one freedeals.”

Those were the best.

Technically we didn’thaveto buy two, but we had to, and everybody but him knew it.

“That’s right. And you make sure we’re doing date nights because those are important.” Micha tapped my nose like I was cute or something and it made me want to squirm. “You’re very good at thinking about us.”

I hated it when he was being sweet…it made it really hard for me to be irrational.

“But some things are up to me.” Micha gave a casualwhat can I doshrug. “And this is one of those times.”

Shoot.

He’d remembered that part.

“But you’ve had time to think and to safeword, so I’m not worried.” No, he was very confident because he kissed my cheek again and stood up…not even caring that he’d made me hard with that one move.

He’d just picked me up without even acknowledging how sexy it was that he could move me around like that.
