just saw blossom. You gave over your freedom, your choices, your entire body for me to
guide and maneuver for our mutual pleasure. What am I expecting of you? Only that.
 You make it sound so simple. She smiled.
 It is simple. We re two people who like each other very much and are learning
more about ourselves as a couple.
Lauren s smile deepened then she remembered something he d said earlier.  And
when you said I wasn t slave material, what did you mean?
 Only that you re a strong woman in your own right. I can t see you giving up that
authority twenty-four/seven. You value your autonomy and that s as it should be. He
bent forward and gave her a small kiss.  Don t worry about it. We ll find our spot. Your
friend Sarah and her husband might like it at the far end but we might not want to go
so far. A sudden thought occurred to him.  Hey, this Sarah, her husband s name isn t
Phillip, by any chance?
Lauren looked surprised.  Yeah, it is. How did you know that? She shook her
head.  The newspapers. I forgot. Their story was everywhere. Beth sent copies to me
overseas. That was a terrible thing they went through.

 Yes, it was, but that s not how I knew. At her raised eyebrows, he explained.
 Phillip Townshend, Will Bondman and I have been friends since college. Will was my
roommate for two years. When we got a suite my junior year, Phillip joined in.
 Are you telling me you know Sarah s husband? Are good friends with him?
 Better than good friends. He was my mentor as a Dom. John grinned.  And Will
is constantly giving me pointers. A thought occurred to him.  How do you know
Sarah?
 Best friends since high school. Sarah, Beth, me. Inseparable for four years. Well,
Beth since kindergarten, Sarah since high school.
 You weren t at Sarah and Phillip s wedding.
 I was overseas fighting a war, remember?
He nodded.  And I was just back two weeks.
A strong breeze blew in the window. The breeze turned into a wind that rattled a
chain somewhere in the room and they both grinned.
 It s supposed to kick up into a doozy of a storm, Lauren informed him.
 I battened down the hatches earlier. The room darkened as the sun went behind
the clouds.  Your car windows up?
 They are.
John took her in his arms and lay back on the bed.  Then we have nothing to get up
for, do we? His lips pulled on her earlobe and Lauren let her body relax.
 Nothing to get up for at all, she agreed.

Chapter Twelve
Lauren drifted inside a very pleasant dream. She lay on a sunlit beach, half buried
in the sand. Waves lapped at her back but she felt no sense of danger. Instead she felt
warm, cocooned, safe. Sighing, she nestled deeper into the softness of the pillow.
Pillow? Wait. Where did the sand go?
Opening her eyes, her gaze fell on a wonderful sight. John lay on his side beside
her, his beautiful blue eyes watching her as she slept. His hand caressed her back and
she sighed again, giving him a lazy smile.
 Good morning.
 Morning. She frowned. That didn t sound right. Her nose wrinkled as she
realized what she d done.  I fell asleep! We were talking and then you were kissing me
and I felt so wonderful and I fell asleep. How terrible!
John chuckled.  I would ve been surprised if you hadn t. I put you through quite a
bit there.
 You re not mad? I mean& 
 Why should I be angry at something that gave me time to watch you unguarded?
He moved his hand when she stretched and rolled onto her side.  Besides, it s not really
morning. You only napped for about twenty minutes. He checked the clock. Nearly
five in the afternoon.
 Well, I guess I don t feel so bad then. In truth, his words made her feel warm
inside again. He liked watching her, he liked playing with her, he liked talking with her
and he hadn t run away after her panic attack. John was dangerously close to being a
serious boyfriend.
 How are you feeling? Physically?
Lauren stretched again, then ran her hands over her breasts, her stomach and her
hips.  Everything seems to work just fine.
 Think you re ready for another round?
She cocked her head at him.  You really think you re going to get any more
orgasms out of this body today?
 What say we find out?
Laughing, she threw off the comforter and sat up.  I m yours to command. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
