“What about these, Roxie? Theyd look great on you! I called Roxie over to me, and she stared at the colorful pair of heels Id stopped at in the boutique Id brought us to.My birthday had been and gone a week ago, and Roxie still hadnt told me if she could get me into the club she worked at. Wed spent my birthday in her apartment, watching our favorite movies and getting drunk. It had been fun, a first rebellion, and Id passed out on her couch around one a.m. Since then, wed both been busy with different things, but wed finally met up for a shopping trip that Id proposed.Shed wanted to head over to the discount shops along the boardwalk, but Id driven us to a secluded set of boutiques just outside of town. Shed been confused but hadnt protested. I liked that about Roxie; she was brave, curious, and wasnt afraid of much in the world.God, put those back, Eve; I cant afford them, Roxie whispered to me as I picked up a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I looked up at her confused.But I

Days passed, and I hadnt heard from Roxie, but that might have been my own fault. Id been busy. I finally found a place of my own, a real house, that was all mine. It was an exclusive place with a keypad on the large steel gate that kept the huge fence around the place locked up tight. Id been busy buying furniture and a car.Ive never owned a car before, or furniture, but there was a first time for everything, right? I spent a week getting the place set up, and then, I finally talked to my family in a conference call on Skype. At first, thered been confusion.But, Eve, we love you. What is this about? Trent asked from his camera, and I glared.You love me? I shot back, my face red with anger and hurt. Or am I just convenient? Do any of you know Im a real human being?“Eve! What a thing to ask! Of course, we know youre real, Mason started, but I interrupted him.When is my birthday? I asked pointedly, looking straight into the camera on my phone.The three of them muttered across the

Sometimes people lived their entire lives without exploring their inner desires. They lived a quiet life, taking part in the same routine, every day, with small moments of joy found in that routine. They lived their lives blindly, they didnt look to the left or to the right, and they certainly didnt look at their own desires. They just lived until they died.I wasnt that kind. I knew what I wanted. Id explored it a variety of times. Id opened minds and bodies to the ultimate experience that desire could bring to a human body. In the process, Id examined my actions, the responses I felt toward that action, and replicated the ones that brought me the most pleasure. There was always room to grow, though, and I would try new things. With the right woman.Id settled into a chair at Elmos and awaited the promised siren that Roxie had enticed me with. I hadnt really planned to come to Elmos tonight, the hunt was starting to wear on me, but shed sent word through Freddy that I would want to m

I wanted to feel the burn of my hand over her bottom, I decided as the cheeky little monkey issued a challenge to me. She hoped I could keep my promise? Id make sure she never forgot me, which was for sure.But it wasnt violence that shed remember me for. Oh no, now that I had a distraction for the next three days, Id make sure little Miss Innocent knew every way to please a man, herself, and to be pleased. She wouldnt forget me, because Id make her crave me.I wasnt a cruel man, however, and I wanted it known up front that I didnt do relationships. It was too much stress and drama, both of which I didnt need. I had enough of that in my work life; I didnt need it in my play-time either. No, Id found it much easier to be up front with my partners, that way there were no expectations.I beckoned Roxie over once I caught her eye, and we went about the business end of the deal. The monetary sum Stephanie would be given as a token of appreciation, not for services rendered, was a bit high

I was enthralled by Stephanie. Despite her inexperience, she maintained her control very well, and I knew this must have been a daily occurrence for her. Not the sexy part, that was definitely new, but the maintain control part wasnt. My girl was very familiar with that.I was impressed, as I had been from the moment I saw her. She gave in easily to her desire to be pleased, but she tempered that with a stringent control. I had the delightful job of breaking that control, though I asked for it. Perhaps confusing to some, but if youve never seen someone like Stephanie let go of that stranglehold on their control then you wouldn't understand. It was a paradox, but one that made sense to me.Roll over, sweetheart. I ran a tender hand down her back, to soothe her and let her know she was safe.Thank you, she said, out of breath but happy.It was my pleasure, Stephanie. Drink some of your water. You need to hydrate. It was consideration more than anything. Her skin had a light sheen from
