Lessons From the Professor

“That’s perfect. My classes on Fridays don’t begin until after noon. What would you like to do?”

“I think I’ll let you decide that, Professor.” He smiled at the sound of his title on her lips.

“I like the way that sounds on your lips.”

“What?”

“Professor. Say it again.”

“Professor,” she whispered.

“Mhmmm, you have no idea how much you please me, without even trying.” She had all the makings to be such a good little submissive with the proper training.

A frown crossed his lips as he helped her stand, and they made their way towards their designated meeting point. He was getting ahead of himself. It was much too soon to be thinking about asking her to be his submissive. Look where being over-eager got you last time.

Chapter Five

What am I doing? Sutton studied her reflection in the mirror as she put the final touch to her make-up. This was their sixth or seventh date, and things were starting to get serious. She liked Sidney and the delicious sensation he coaxed out of her. However, if history were to be believed she wasn’t good at the whole relationship thing. It was times like this she wished she’d been less conservative and dated more. She’d toyed with the idea of asking Jackson where they’d gone wrong over the years. The logical side of her brain knew she didn’t deserve to be cheated on, but it was obvious there were other factors that had led to the betrayal. Perhaps a bit of closure would allow her to move forward with a clean conscious. I’m sure his wife would love that, an ex-fiancée showing back up to chat. She snorted, and told herself to put on her big girl panties and suck it up as she flipped the light switch off and headed to her car.

There were going to have dinner at his place, and though he hadn’t mentioned it being big deal, Sutton sensed an important conversation would take place tonight.

They’d enjoyed a nice dinner, and now it was time to bring up the subject of BDSM. It

bothered him that he’d become so attached to the young girl in such a small amount of time. It was in his nature to proceed with caution in all things. But it wasn’t every day he found someone who suited him so well. He was a sarcastic, asinine, old-fashioned git. He was honest enough to admit that.

Still, he couldn’t pass up because of fear and insecurity the stroke of luck that had brought this woman into his path.

On most occasions, knowledge was power, but knowing why you felt and acted a certain way didn’t necessarily make it easier to stop the behavior you were exhibiting. He cursed Christine and her harsh words once more before he returned his attention to the woman seated beside him. He’d take things one step at a time.

“Before we take things between us any further there’s something I need to discuss with you,” Sidney said. He poured the dessert wine into her glass and filled his own.

His throat went dry as his palms grew sweaty as he and Sutton moved from the kitchen and into the living room. They’d been seeing each other for a couple of months, and things were going well. They never ran out of things to discuss, and the passion between them sizzled. It was time to see where she stood about BDSM before they took things further.

“This sounds serious,” Sutton said.

She tilted her head to the side as he nodded. He placed his hand on the small of her back as he led her over to the couch. He held her hand to help her lower to the couch with her drink before he joined her.

“It’s important if we want to continue our relationship.”

“Are you unhappy?’

“No, my dear, quite the opposite. Things have progressed between us faster than I imagined, and I want to clear the air before we move ahead.”

“Oh?”

“There are certain things I like to do that are considered … off the beaten path.”

“Please don’t tell me you’re a swinger.”

He let out a bark of laughter.

“Exactly the opposite. I’d never share what I considered mine. It’s something that takes a certain kind of woman to handle. I’ll treat you like the most cherished being that ever existed, but in return there are certain rules you’d have to follow and games and sexual behavior I’d like to engage in.”

“Like Leigh and James?”

“Yes. Tell me, Sutton, what do you know about BDSM?”
