Free Beg Me (Power Play Series) by Misha Elliott Page A

can guess some things by observation, but you need to open up. The only way we will trust the other person is by getting to know them. That’s why I wanted us to spend this time alone to do that.”
         “And don’t forget your plan to make me your new slave?” Making a joke was the only thing I could do to lessen the seriousness of his words.
     “Again, I don’t have a need to put a label on what I’m looking for. It’s complex.”  I can tell that from his tone, he is getting annoyed. I’ve been hoping he would bring up the subject.  I guess it is up to me.
        “Would you mind telling me what happened to make you look for someone new to keep you company?” I try to make sure I don’t use any labels in my question.
         “Communication was the big issue.”  We were both looking for something that the other wasn’t prepared to give them.  Instead of ruining a friendship we decided to part ways.”
         “ Do you still see each other?”  I feel the butterflies coming on as it seems like an eternity before he answers me. “Yes, she works at my firm. But you don’t have anything to worry about. Our relationship was in the past.”  He says cupping my chin in his hand but doesn’t offer further explanation.  I need more information than that; I feel the need to compete with this woman who used to have him.
        “Was she…” I bite my bottom lip and trail off, as I try to form my question. “If you are asking if she was in the lifestyle with me, the answer is yes. For a time we had the roles of Dominate and Submissive. The sexual connection alone wasn’t enough to make the relationship work.” I listen, but I want more. 
        “How long were you together?”  I ask
       “We have been on and off over the years. When my parents died, I went through a lot. My brother did too, the more Jayson delved into the world of drugs, the more I experimented sexually. At one time, I even tried training more than one submissive.”  He admitted, dropping his hand from my face.
        “That sounds like a dream for you, why didn’t it work out?” I ask, curious.  “Because I was unable to get the one thing that I needed the most, intimacy and trust. These women worshipped me to my face, but behind my back looked for ways to elevate their social standings. It was for them, not for me.”
         “What about the woman you work with?”  I know I should let it go, but she is in his life every day.
         “She was like the others. She says she fell in love with me. I could tell it wasn’t me, just idea of being in love that she wanted.  I was foolish to keep our relationship going for as long as it did.” He said shaking his head.
      “Vivienne, I want to give you your first intimacy lesson.  I would like to lay here and just hold you, if that’s alright.”
         I stiffen, waiting to see what he is going to do. He takes my hand and leads me to the large bed, pulling down the sheets and helping me in. I watch him crawl in behind me, he situates my back to his front and we spoon. I’ve never spooned with anyone before in my life, yet I feel like I’ve somehow missed it.  He gently strokes his fingers down the side of my face, and down my arm.  His other arm is wrapped tightly around my waist.  This feeling that he gives me is so strange and different. I turn my head towards him and my eyes find his sexy gaze on me. 
        “What’s wrong?” I ask.
         “Nothing, I just like holding you and want to watch you fall asleep.” He says pulling me tighter to him.  After lying still for what seems an eternity I close my heavy eyes.  I feel myself drifting off into a dream, but it doesn’t scare me.  I roll over and shift my body, and Daemon moves with me pulling me close to his chest. In the comfort of his arms I sleep peacefully for the rest of the night.
    I find a note on his pillow telling me that he has to work.   At the start of
