At eleven sharp, Lance knocked on her door again.

“Are you going to come in this time?” Nora asked when she found him on her front porch looking unnecessarily handsome. She was going to have to talk to him about being less attractive.

“Can I trust you?”

“No.”

“Then no.” Lance took a step back on her porch.

“Wait…ask the question again. I’ll get it right this time.”

Lance laughed and shook his head. Instead of asking the question, he simply came inside the house. “So this is the house of a dominatrix?” he said, glancing around her living room.

“Were you expecting more whips and chains? Dungeon chic?”

“I was, actually.”

Nora plopped down on her couch in her cozy living room decorated with overstuffed furniture and bookcases. “Those are all upstairs in the closet. And there’s some stuff in the office, but only because I keep my toy bag in there.”

“You live alone?”

Lance examined her bookcase. She wondered if they’d read any of the same books.

“I do,” she said. “I’m trying to imagine who could put up with me as a roommate. Maybe Job. I’d need someone patient.”

“Job?”

“The dude in the Bible with all the problems who just sat there and took it? ‘The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away—blessed be the name of the Lord’? That guy?”

“Interesting. Never had a domme quote the Bible at me before.”

“Gets more interesting—my mom’s a nun.”

“You’re kidding,” he said, questioning her with his eyes. He sat down on the chair by the couch. Nora had to feel a little flattered he didn’t feel safe enough to sit next to her on the sofa.

“My mother wanted to be a nun all her life. But she got knocked up with me as a teenager and that dream went out the window. But after my dad was killed—”

Lance started to say something and Nora held up her hand to stop him.

“No, we are not talking about my father today,” she said and Lance nodded his reluctant acquiesce. “Once I became a legal adult, there were no impediments to Mom joining a religious order. I thought she was crazy. We’d had some rough times when I was a teenager.”

“Now that doesn’t surprise me one bit.”

“Yeah, I put the woman through ten kinds of hell. But I thought a convent might be a little extreme. I moved back in with her for a few months hoping we could make up for some lost time. Maybe some mother-daughter bonding would change her mind about throwing her entire life away.”

“Didn’t work?”

Nora shrugged. “Mother and daughter did not good roommates make. Let’s just say when she found out about my lifestyle, who I was sleeping with, and what we were doing, the proverbial excrement hit the metaphorical oscillator.”

“The shit hit the fan.”

“With gusto. That was the last straw for Mom. The world was depraved beyond redemption and the only hope for a woman of faith to remain pure in such a wasteland was to join a convent and never venture out into the world again. So she did.
