If you never change your mind, why have one?

~ Edward de Bono

Were the gods cutting him some slack? Was the universe making up for his career ending sooner than he’d planned?

Or did Alison Jukuri just tell him she wanted him to control her in bed?

Okay. Don’t freak out. And more importantly, don’t freak her out.

He held her gaze and squeezed her hand again. “So…you’re thinking not so much this…” He gently rubbed his thumb over hers—a soft caress, a whisper of a touch. Then he turned their hands so hers was against the table. He disengaged their fingers and slid his hand up her palm and to her wrist, which he then tightly encircled, pushing her hand further into the hard table. “As this…” he said, tightening his hold even more.

It was tiny. But oh, he heard the little gasp that left her mouth.

“Say it.”

She nodded.

“Say it,” he said more firmly.

“Yes,” she whispered.

Excitement like he couldn’t believe rushed through him. Fuck, it was better than stepping out onto the ice at the Joe to a packed house chanting his name.

She was breathing a little deeper now, her sweater rising and falling. Brown and fuzzy, the sweater looked like it would be incredible to touch.

He couldn’t wait until it was wadded up on the floor.

“So…how do we…how does this work?” She looked away from him, embarrassed.

“Don’t worry, Al, I’ve got it. I’ll get us through it. You won’t have to ask for a thing. But we should talk through a few ground rules, first.”

“Ground rules? Like what?” Her eyes were huge and the exact shade of brown as her sweater. Puzzlement and a bit of anticipation came through in both her voice and body language as she leaned closer.

He also noticed that she hadn’t made a move to loosen her hand from his grip.

“Like what…acts…are on the table. Like choosing a safe word. Stuff like that.”

“So, you do this a lot?”

He thought that might kill the deal. That she would be turned off by the thought. But nope, she was genuinely curious.

“Not a lot, no. But, come on Al, you don’t become a defenseman in the NHL without wanting to dominate.”

She smiled at that and then looked as if she’d done something wrong. He jostled her leg under the table with his good leg. “Hey, this can be fun, too. We can enjoy it and laugh and it can still be intense.” She nodded. “We can make this up as we go, Al, now that I know what you want.”

He thought about that for a minute. Yeah, no. She wasn’t going to want him to ask her every few minutes if she liked it or if she wanted something else. That was the whole point. She was sick of making choices, of telling people what to do, of giving life advice. She wanted to be told what to do. “So maybe even more reason to have a safe word. Just something you can say so I’ll know if I’ve gone too far.
