Chapter 32

I spent the last few days scouring the internet for more information on primal play, learning about safe words and gestures, and the hunter and prey dynamics. I watched video interviews of people in the lifestyle describing their experiences and the overall empowerment they felt as prey, even in consensual non-consensual or dubious consensual scenes. They could halt the rough sex scenes with a simple word or action. They talked about the freedom they felt when someone overpowered them and took over their body.

My mind flits back to the frenzied make-out session in the shed at New Beginnings, where Ryland gave me a glimpse of his hunter self when he curled his hand around my neck and forced me to orgasm, all the while leaving plenty of room for me to say no, and how he didn’t go any further until he heard a moan or whimper of pleasure from me or my urging of him to continue.

Even in the intensity of the moment, I never felt afraid. I felt safe, alive, treasured.

My pussy throbs and my thighs clench with what I’ve learned about the lifestyle so far and suddenly, Taylor’s idea sounds more and more enticing.

But if I go through with this, I’ll let him know who I am before he has sex with me. I want him to decide for himself. He needs to be the one to do it, because I’ll be no one’s accidental fuck. I want him, but I have my pride.

My palms grow sweaty as I finish getting ready for Grace’s celebratory event. I’m so proud of her for opening Peyton-Anderson Financial Consulting and taking her dream by the horns.

Eyeing the slinky black dress I’ve changed into—a simple curve-hugging outfit with two delicate spaghetti straps and a hem ending at mid-thigh—I blow out an exhale before heading back into the living room, where Fred is packing up his laptop and papers after our study session.

He pauses when he sees me, his eyes widening. “You look beautiful, Millie.”

My skin heats and I smile before tucking a lock of wavy hair behind my ear.

“Thanks, Fred. And,” my fingers clench and unclench, a sticky sense of shame slinking inside me, “I just want to let you know, I’m grateful you’re coming with me to the event…as a friend.”

Fred stills and his shoulders slump in obvious disappointment. It didn’t feel right to lead him on. My invitation to him was out of impulse because I was hurt, and I wanted to make Ryland jealous. But it’s not right for Fred, especially if I know he likes me.

“If you don’t want to go, I won’t blame you,” I say softly, watching him shuffle on his feet, his hand kneading the back of his neck.

“Ah fuck. I kinda figured this wasn’t a date.” He laughs sadly. “You looked so sad that day, so I dunno, I just knew something was up. But I’ll still go with you. You look like you need support for this event, and I’m always your friend.
