Bound (A Faery Story 1)

head. “You were supposed to listen to my advice and stick it out with

Beck. They didn’t teach common sense at your school, did they?”

“I’m not running anymore. I am done with running away. It just

gets me into trouble. For your information, I’ve decided to take your

advice and work on Beck.”

Leaning against the side of the house, Dante’s smile became

slightly lascivious. “Have you got him to top you yet, sweetheart?”

Meg returned

the smile without a hint of self-consciousness. She

was also through with feeling ashamed of the things she wanted.

Nearly dying in an icy cold river trapped by a horse with Super Glue

for skin had cured her of that. “Not yet, but I’m working on the

problem. So you know something about the type of relationship I

want with Beck?”

The vampire shrugged. “Sure. It’s very common where I come

from. You’ve got to understand, he has his reasons for being afraid of

what he needs. You’ll have to pull it out of him.”

Meg let a little of her anxiety show. “That might be hard. I have

no idea what I’m doing. It’s not like I’ve had a Dom before. The truth

is, I was just sort of reading about it before I met Beckett. Now I

know what I want, but I’m not sure how to get it.”

“I can help you with that, sweetheart.” He pulled out that ever-

present tablet. It apparently had a home inside his jacket. He typed

something on the keyboard and flipped it around. The LCD screen

flowed as an enormous list of downloadable material on the subject

came up.

“Have a problem? We’ve got a DL to solve it.” He let his lanky

body slide down to sit in the dirt by the front door. “Sit with me, Meg.

We’ll look at some porn. This could take a while.”
