and his apartment was very nearly empty. His saucepans and plates filled another box, his food supplies yet another, and the apartment was bare.
    “You really don’t have all that many things, do you? I reckon that’ll all fit into our apartment just fine,” said Oliver.
    “Just the coffee percolator, the blankets from the bed, and the microwave oven, I think,” said William, looking around. He stripped the bed, rolling the bedding up to squeeze it into another cardboard box while Leticia grabbed his coffee machine.
    “Do you have to hand your keys back in or something?” asked Leticia.
    “I’m paid through to the end of the month, so I’ll keep them and come back in a day or so to give the place a really good clean. That way I should get all my deposit back.”
    “I can do that for you. You have to work after all. I’m sure Jubilee would help me and maybe Autumn, if she’s not on a deadline.”
    “Autumn? Deadline?” William was confused. Didn’t she just do knitting or crafts or something? How could she be on a deadline?
    “Yes, you know, she makes the display items for a couple of craft companies.”
    “I know she knits things.”
    “Oh, it’s a lot more than that. The things she makes are the ones they use for the photographs on their brochures and catalogues and on their websites, so every item has to be perfect. She almost went insane a little while ago because the fabric they sent kept bunching up when she tried to sew it. She ended up having to buy special really fine needles she could only thread by using a magnifying glass and putting nail polish on the end of the thread to make it fit through.”
    “I never knew sewing was such a big deal. Although I have heard some doctors going ballistic when their favorite needles aren’t available, so I guess I should have figured it out.”
    They all laughed as they carried the last of his possessions out to the parking lot. Feeling brave, William suggested, “Travel in my car, Leticia, and tell me what you did today while I was at work.”
    William wondered if Oliver would say she should go back with him, but Oliver left it up to Leticia, and William’s heart sang as she climbed into his car. Once again the sun shone in his world. He would have a short time alone with the woman he loved, and then he’d be living with her. Life really was good.

    The next night Oliver was ready to teach his subs something about the BDSM lifestyle. He didn’t want to do anything too unusual just yet, so he’d planned the perfect scene for tonight. He knew William had dabbled a little bit in BDSM but thought likely Leticia didn’t really know much about it, apart from secondhand chatter. Anyway, tonight was the time for him to find out.
    “Undress, my subs, then stand in front of me with your legs shoulder-width apart, your eyes down looking at the floor, and your hands clasped behind your backs.”
    William gave him a quick glance from under lowered lids but began undressing without making a comment. Leticia stared at him for a few moments then also started taking her clothes off.
    “This is how you always stand to indicate to me you’re ready to begin playing a BDSM scene. Do you understand?”
    “Yes, Sir,” said William.
    “Yes, Sir,” echoed Leticia.
    “Good. Your safe word is ‘xylophone.’ Do you know what a safe word means, Leticia?”
    “Yes, Sir.”
    “Tell me what it means so I’m sure you fully understand.”
    “The sub is only to use it when they’re absolutely certain they want to stop doing the scene, not just to ask a question or something like that. It ends the night’s play.”
    “Good answer.”
    “Leticia, lie down on your back, spread-eagle in the center of the bed. William, stand by the wall. You may look but not speak.”
    Oliver watched as they both did exactly what he said. So far so good. He hoped the scene aroused them thoroughly and gave them a taste for BDSM so he could lead them through more exciting
