Chapter 17

Two hours later, Elizabeth leaned back against the couch cushions in Flynn’s living room and groaned. “I ate too much.”

“No kidding.” Flynn sat in the armchair adjacent to the couch, his hand on his belly. When he’d chosen that seat, giving her some space, she’d wanted to kiss him. Her mind was a jumbled mess after making the monumental decision to have sex with this man. The entire arrangement was probably going to backfire on her.

She closed her eyes and considered everything that had happened today. Jesus. She’d not only slept with Flynn, but she’d insisted on working with him too. She needed a straitjacket.

After several minutes of silence, Flynn spoke. “I can practically see your mind replaying the day from here. I wish I had the confidence of knowing you would give me another day like this, but I’m going to have to fight you on it, aren’t I?”

She gave a wan smile as she lowered her gaze to meet his, finding him staring at her intently. “How about we switch? You submit to me next time.”

She thought he might smile or laugh, but instead his face was totally sober as he leaned forward, set his elbows on his knees, and held her gaze. “That’s never going to be who we are together, E. You know that in your heart. You proved to me this afternoon that we have a connection. A solid one. And that dynamic is you submitting to me. I know you’ve been dominating people for a long time, and I will never deny you have a gift. You do. It’s hot as hell to watch. But that’s not who you are with me.”

She lowered her gaze and fiddled with the hem of her tank top. Shit. “I need to process this.”

“I would expect nothing less.”

“I’m not making any promises.”

He nodded.

She blew out a breath and lifted her hands over her head, clasping them behind her neck. “What the hell am I talking about? We can’t do that again. It’s not who I am.”

Flynn didn’t get upset or argue with her. He didn’t even move. He remained right where he was, his gaze boring into her. “It’s a side of you. A side you pushed into a closet when someone hurt you. I get it. But I bet if you think hard and dig back, you’ll remember there’s another woman inside you, one who wants to turn all that frustration and power over to a trustworthy Dom who will not betray your trust.”

She closed her eyes, not ready to hear this.

“E, I know this is hard for you. I get it. It’s been a long damn time since you let yourself feel one tenth of what we just experienced. Please don’t shut me out. I know you’re scared. Hell, I’m scared. Without knowing your entire story, I get that I cannot fuck this up. The responsibility is enormous.

“Even if we don’t end up together in the long run, I still want to be the Dom who guides you back toward what you crave deep inside.
