have power.” He took her hand in his. “You have my undivided attention, therefore it must be door number two.”
    “Can I take off the blindfold? I want to see you as we talk.” She was getting frustrated. He seemed to be able to see all the way to her soul and she couldn’t see him at all.
    “No. Settle down and get used to it. I’m in charge.” His voice was very casual.
    She huffed and crossed her arms over her breasts. He was being a jerk and she was getting aroused by it. How did that happen?
    André took her right hand and pulled it down to her side then did the same with her left. “No hiding.” He placed his hand between her breasts. “Now, why are you feeling insecure?”
    Several comments came to mind, most childish or hurtful. She forced the tension away. If she was wanting to strike out with her words that meant his summation was correct. A couple of deep breaths later and she knew he was right. “I was afraid you didn’t like what you saw and that’s why you didn’t want to play.”
    Tears were pooling in her eyes. She felt more exposed in that moment than she had in the bathtub. Well, he’d warned her.
    André’s weight shifted and she felt him move closer. He placed her hand over his very large and hard cock. “Thank you for being honest with me. I know it wasn’t easy. I don’t know how much clearer I can make my attraction to you. I’m not a school boy who suffers hard-ons for no reason.” He drew a finger down her jaw line.
    “You’re beautiful, bebe. I don’t like to see the bruises on your perfect skin and seeing your leg injured sends a fury that has me mad enough to spit nails, but you are stunning. Having my hands all over you has given me an appetite I’m not sure you have the strength for. Since it isn’t going away, I need you to rest while I do some menial things around here and get my control back in place. Normally, a Dom wouldn’t share that bit of insight. He’d never let his subbie know she tested his control, but you aren’t just any subbie. You’re my girl and you need a bit of reassurance. I promise to always give you what you need, even at the expense of sharing trade secrets.”
    He was killing her with his words and tone. His tender touches had her body in confusion. It was primed for a meltdown. Tears were already threatening to stain her blindfold, her clit was throbbing and she was intensely aware of his hand nestled between her boobs. Her nipples were peaked and begging for a little attention. Attention she suspected was a long time away. “Thank you, André. I needed to hear that.”
    From out of nowhere, his lips seized hers. There wasn’t an ounce of tenderness as he took possession of her mouth. His tongue plundered and he stole her breath away. Just as suddenly, he stopped and gave her a peck on the cheek. “Rest, bebe.”
     
    André walked outside and gathered the dishes from breakfast, hoping the fresh air would clear his mind. Adriana was like a powerful drug. Why had he kissed her? He never kissed trainees. Never.
    No matter how much he wanted to keep his distance and put her in the same category as a contracted trainee, it just wouldn’t work. Adriana had gotten under his skin. He liked her, liked making her smile. God, she had the best smile of any woman he’d ever met. Every time she was happy, her eyes would light up and he caught himself doing whatever it took to see it again and again. He’d turned into a besotted fool.
    From what he could tell, she’d had damn little experience in the lifestyle. He’d like that if she were a trainee, but since he wasn’t sure what the hell category she fell into, he wasn’t sure how he felt about that either.
    He sighed. Now he wasn’t being honest with himself. He was fucking thrilled she hadn’t played much. He just wasn’t sure he wanted to examine the reason for his elation.
    He put the dishes in the dishwasher and scrubbed the pans while he thought about her responses. She’d
