your body, giving you those orgasms that make you glow.”
    Bailey took a single step forward as Eden mulled over his words. He watched her anger ease, her pain drain away, before she blinked and looked at him. “Bailey?”
    Only then did he take the last steps that separated them and gently wrap his arms around her. “Yes, sunflower, it’s Bailey. Can you tell me what happened?”
    He closed his eyes with relief and sent a prayer of thanks heavenward as she slid her arms around his waist. She burrowed her face into his chest as she clung to him. He held her tighter, laying his cheek on the top of her head, surrounding her as much as possible with whatever comfort he could offer.
    They stood that way for several long minutes before Eden finally lifted her head to look up at him. “We were only married a year, but in that time Wade turned me from a confident, self-assured woman into a spineless shadow who had a hard time deciding what to fix for dinner. I’ve found my way back and cannot, will not, go back there. It’s not right for someone else to determine and tell me what my every move will be. Can you understand?”
    Bailey nodded. “And my threatening to spank you like a child probably didn’t help any either. I am so sorry. I would never be like him on purpose. I love you just the way you are.”
    He froze when he heard the words come out of his mouth. Never before had he told women he dated that he loved them. But then again, no other woman made him feel like Eden did. With her in his life, he felt like he could conquer the world singlehandedly, as long as he could come home to this woman afterward.
    He was not surprised when she did not echo the sentiment. It was too soon to be making such declarations, but he only had a few days left, and he needed her to understand how he felt before he deployed.
    “Bailey?”
    “Yes, sunflower?”
    “I was a bad girl. If you still want to spank me, you can.”

    Fear and excitement shivered through her as she waited for Bailey’s reaction to her offer. His admission that he loved her just the way she was gave her the courage to offer him this opportunity. With Bailey, she found herself willing to try anything he suggested. With Wade, after the first couple of times, she hesitated because he always took taking things too far too fast without discussing things with her before he did.
      Bailey shifted against her, stroking her back then kissing her forehead. “Are you sure, sunflower? I don’t want you to do anything you feel uncomfortable with or unsure about just because I ask it of you.”
    “But isn’t that what a Dom is supposed to do? Push their sub’s boundaries and limits? And punish them when they’re bad?”
    “Yes, but—”
    Eden smiled as she lifted a hand to touch his lips with the pads of two fingers. At the same time, she shifted her hips, pressing them forward as she moved them slowly side to side. The half-hard erection she felt against her lower belly immediately grew larger and harder.
    “Please, Sir, please punish me for being a bad girl. I ruined your game, and then I locked the door against you. I’ve been a very bad girl and deserved to be spanked.”
    “Hmmm, that is true. You have been a naughty little sunflower who deserves a spanking. After your spanking, you will apologize by sucking my cock before I fuck you until we both melt into a puddle of goo.”
    As he shared the agenda, Eden’s pussy juices once again flowed with her anticipation. When he released her and stepped back, she swayed a moment before finding her balance.
    With the blank expression that she had come to identify as Bailey’s Dom face, he took her hand and led her into the great room. Once out of her bedroom he dropped her hand. He held up a hand and she stopped. He then crossed the room to the wooden chair by the dining table.
    After pushing his boxer’s off his hips, he sat down and just stared at her for a long, long moment. Eden grew nervous and began
