"Are you ready?"
"Of course." flushing, my heart rate increasing.
"You are such a terrible liar Adela."
"I know....I just." trailing off, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
"I am not going to hurt you or force you into doing something you don't want to. You will be given a safe word. One you can use at any time, if things get too overwhelming, uncomfortable for you."
He contemplated with narrowed eyes. "My job as your Dom, is to give you want you need. We may not agree at times, but as my sub I must listen to you."
His finger moved over my cheek, my neck, chest, stomach. I drew in a deep breath as he stopped at my lower region.
"If you don't wish to come to my place tonight Adela, it's okay, but I do expect to see you tomorrow night. I'll cook so walk with your appetite."
I shook my head because that was all I could manage.
"Your safe word is blackbird. You should memorize this, but should you forget I will repeat it again."
"Thanks"I mutter
Satisfaction flickered in his eyes. "Come kettlepot."
Curving an arm around my waist, we walked to the exit, slipping through the crowd undetected.
He pulled me against his hard side as we waited for the valet to bring his car. The event was still buzzing with people. The night sky glittered with a spray of silver stars. A bow shaped moon stood out against the black velvet.
